Hey there! Chapter two has arrived! :) Hope you like it! -Ashlynn

Special thanks to my fellow Trinine shipper Speisla!

Jeanine woke to sun rays peaking in through the curtains of the bedroom window. She groaned deeply and lifted her head from Tris' shoulder to check the time; it was 5:37am. She let out a small huff realizing she needed to get up soon. Slowly, she untangled herself from Tris who was snoring softly next to her and rolled over on her back to stretch her sore muscles. Just as she went to throw the covers back and climb out of bed, Jeanine looked down to see a strong tan arm reach across her torso and hold her captive. Tris scooted over and pulled Jeanine back down on the bed. She snuggled into Jeanine's side eliciting a soft laugh from her lover and she smiled in satisfaction.

While Jeanine laid in bed running her hand up and down Tris' back her mind began to wander. She smiled contently when she started to think about how much she would enjoy waking up like this every day for the rest of her life. She leaned down and placed a soft kiss the top of Tris' head. She thought about what it would be like to spend all of her days and all of her nights wrapped in Tris' loving embrace. Warmth spread through Jeanine's body at the thought, causing her smile to only grow. Before long, she was completely wrapped up in a daydream of red roses and white dresses. She paused and wondered if Tris even wanted to get married. It was something they had talked about briefly, but never in the context of each other. Would Tris want kids Jeanine wondered in silence. Tris was good with kids, but is that something she wanted for herself? Jeanine shook her head breaking her train of thought. She looked down to see the subject of her racing thoughts was once again snoring softly. "What do you think Tris," Jeanine asked quietly placing a kiss on top of Tris' head. "Should we get married? Maybe have a couple of kids?"

Tris did not respond, she just continued snoring lightly and Jeanine chuckled quietly to herself careful not to disturb the brunette on top of her. Looking over at the small clock on the nightstand again, Jeanine noticed it was already 5:50am - past time for her to get up. She sighed and once again wiggled her way out from Tris' hold all while doing her best not to wake her. When her feet finally hit the cool hardwood floor she looked back to see if Tris had been too distrubed. She smiled when she saw that Tris was still snoring away. She leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Tris' cheek before going to the bathroom where she took a hot shower and started getting ready for the day ahead.

Twenty minutes passed before Tris started to stir. She blinked rapidly and shielded her eyes from the sunlight now pouring into the room. Hearing the shower running in the bathroom, Tris rolled over onto her back with a groan and propped herself up on her elbows. She stretched her legs and toes loving the tension still there from the night before. Just as she was contemplating going back to sleep Jeanine emerged from the bathroom wrapped in only a small white bath towel. Tris watched her girlfriend move across the room toward the closet. She sat quietly and let her eyes take in Jeanine's long porcelain legs, her soft curves, strong arms and short wavy blonde hair. Tris swallowed the lump starting to form in her throat. "Mmm... Morning beautiful," she said with a smile, and her voice still groggy. Jeanine was slightly startled and instantly turned to meet Tris' gaze with a bright smile. "Good morning darling," she replied sweetly and walked over to the side of the bed.

"Did you sleep well," Jeanine asked as she sat down on the side of the bed. Tris nodded her head in agreement, her eyes never leaving Jeanine, "Mmmhmm...How about you?" Jeannine did her best to suppress a laugh as her eyes roamed from Tris' messy hair to her squinting eyes and half-awake expression. She grinned and shook her head, "I slept very well, thank you." Tris yawned and Jeanine stood up from the side of the bed. "You can go back to sleep if you want to," she offered. Tris leaned her head from side to side stretching her neck muscles. "Nah, that's okay," She said through a long yawn. Jeanine giggled softly, "Are you sure about that?" Tris nodded her head and looked around the room absentmindedly, "Yeah, I think I will go start the coffee." Jeanine smiled warmly, "That sounds wonderful." She leaned over and placed a chaste kiss on Tris' lips before making her way to their walk in closet. Tris watched Jeanine every step of the way as she walked across the room and disappeared into the closet. She groaned and stared down at her feet, mornings were not her favorite time of day. "Okay," she said encouraging herself, "Time to get up." Tris let out a deep growl and threw her legs over the side of the bed. She could hear Jeanine laughing at her from in the closet, "Everything okay out there?" Tris stood up and stretched, "Yes," she said through a yawn. She slowly made her way to the bathroom, put her bath robe on, and left for the kitchen.

Jeanine hummed quietly as she sifted through the abundance of clothes in their closet. Eventually she decided on an outfit and a pair of shoes. She walked out of the closet and tossed is all onto the foot of the bed. She walked over to a dresser and began picking out undergarments. Just as she was about to close the drawer her eyes caught on a small yellow piece of paper. She smiled knowing exactly what it was, and plucked the small piece of paper from the drawer. She unfolded the small paper and read; "You are beautiful Jeanine Matthews! XO –T" A warm blush spread across Jeanine's cheeks and washed over her body. She bit her bottom lip and a smile spread across her lips as she read the note again. Tris always knew exactly what to say to make her smile. She refolded the paper and decided to grab the note she had found hanging on the bathroom mirror the night before. She held them both in her hand as she pulled down a small shoe box she kept on the top shelf of their closet. She smiled when she opened the box and saw all of the notes Tris had given her over the last couple of years. She dropped the two notes in her hand in with the rest and placed the box back on the shelf. She walked out of the closet feeling much lighter, and she began humming even louder than before.

"Coffee is ready," Tris said. She held a cup in each hand and against the bathroom door frame. "It smells great" Jeanine said eagerly as she finished putting on her mascara. Tris let her eyes wander over the three piece navy business suit Jeanine was wearing and felt her cheeks flush. She raised her eyebrow and let out a low growl, "Wow... You look... Mmmmm... You look good Jeanine." Jeanine smiled and laughed softly, "thank you darling." She tossed her mascara into a drawer and turned around to face Tris. She let her eyes rake up and down Tris' strong slender body feeling her own body temperature rise. She took a step forward, wrapped her hands around the collar of Tris' robe, and leaned in whispered in Tris' ear. "You don't look so bad yourself," she said her voice low and sultry. Tris swallowed hard as she felt her heartbeat begin to race in her chest. No one had ever made her feel quite the way Jeanine did; so wanted, so needed, so loved. Jeanine hummed in satisfaction and flashed a bright smile as she took the larger mug of coffee from Tris' hands. "Rawr," Tris growled playfully. Jeanine laughed heartily and took a sip of coffee. She leaned in and placed a quick kiss on Tris' cheek before stepping out of the bathroom and making her way to their home office. Tris let her head fall back against the wall and shook her head as she laughed softly to herself. Her body was still buzzing with excitement as she left the bathroom and followed the sound of Jeanine's heels down the hallway.

Jeanine collected her things from the office and dropped them on the kitchen island before getting a to-go mug down from a cabinet and switching her coffee over to it. Tris leaned against the island and sipped at her coffee as she watched Jeannie hurry around the kitchen. "But seriously, that suit looks incredible on you," Tris sighed as her eyes traveled up and down Jeanine's toned body. "Oh I know darling, that's why I wear it," Jeanine said playfully swaying her hips and attempting to sound full of herself. Tris rolled her eyes and laughed. "Yup, that's my girlfriend, just an endless amount of sass," she said sarcastically. They shared a laugh and Jeanine checked the time again. She had about two minutes before she had to leave.

"Do you know what you are going to do with Caleb today" she asked as she opened the fridge and pulled out the salad Tris had made for her lunch. "I'm not really sure; I know he is having dinner tonight with his friend Will. But I don't know anything else, we really didn't make a plan…Kind of figured I would just go along with whatever he wants to do." Tris said and took another sip of her coffee. "Thank you for lunch by the way" Jeanine said and gestured to the salad she was putting in one of her bags. Tris smiled and nodded in response, she loved it when she could do little things for Jeanine.

"Well that sounds nice. Oh, make sure to take his gift with you today," Jeanine reminded Tris as she gathered her things together. Tris nodded her head again, "Yeah, I will. I'll text you when I have an idea of what we are doing, I expect we will go into the city, but we'll see." Jeanine hummed in thought, "That sounds like a wonderful plan." Jeanine checked her watch again and grabbed her bags from the island. "It is seven my dear. Time for me to go to work," she said and grabbed her keys from the counter. Tris left her coffee on the counter and followed Jeanine to the door, "Have a good day at work."

Jeanine stopped at the door and turned to face Tris, "Thank you, and thank you for the notes. I found the one on the mirror and the one in the dresser." Tris smiled warmly, "I meant it." Jeanine's heart filled with warmth and she threaded her fingers with Tris'. "I know," she smiled. "Have a good time with your brother today, tell him I said hello and happy birthday." Jeanine let go of Tris' hand and embraced her in a hug, leaving was always the hardest part of her day. "I will be thinking of you," Tris whispered, keeping with their morning routine. Jeanine released her hold on Tris and touched their foreheads together, "and I am always thinking of you my love." Tris smiled and Jeanine placed a sweet kiss to her lips before reluctantly heading out the door. "I'll see you tonight," Tris said as she stepped out of the apartment to watch Jeanine walk to the elevator like she did every morning, "We'll have dinner together." Jeanine quickly turned on her heels and continued walking backwards, "Sounds good, see you tonight!" She flashed a bright smile at Tris before back turning around, getting on the elevator and heading to work.

Tris walked back into the apartment and closed the door after watching the elevator door close. The apartment never felt as big or empty as the few moments just after Jeanine would leave in the mornings. She went back to the kitchen, downed what was left of her coffee and left the cup in the sink. She made her way back to their bedroom, turned on the radio and got ready for the day. Tris decided on her typical non-work outfit; jeans, white t, black leather jacket, and black combat boots all topped with a messy pony tail. The clock read 8:00am when Tris was headed out the door with Caleb's gift bag in hand. She pulled out her phone and typed a quick message to Jeanine while she was on the elevator.

8:00am

Hey, just left the apartment, headed to Caleb's. Hope you are having a good morning. XO –T

Tris tucked her phone back into her pocket when the elevator stopped at ground level. She made her way over to her Camaro and put Caleb's gift in the trunk. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket just before she started her car and pulled it out to read the message;

8:03am

Hi, hope Caleb likes his gift! I'm headed into a new security briefing :-P Have fun with Caleb today, I will text you when I have the chance. XO –J

Tris smiled and quickly typed a response.

I'm sure he is going to love it! That's my woman, saving the world one security briefing at a time ;) Lol I'll text you when I get there. XO –T

Tris stuffed her phone back in her jacket pocket, started her car, turned up the radio and took off for Caleb's.
