TRIS POV

We enter the compound together. Toby slowly wakes up in my arms.

"Mommy," He calls.

"Hey buddy," I say kissing his forehead and putting on the floor and holding his hand.

We make our way through a dark hallway and pass in front of the pit. Luckily, everybody, there is either drunk or on their way to drunkenness to acknowledge our presence, which makes sense taking into consideration how late it is and where we are. Uriah stops in front of me.

"You should go talk to Four first."

"I don't want to just blurt everything now. It wouldn't be fair to him."

"You not being here isn't fair to him. What the bureau did to all of us, especially to you and Toby isn't fair to him."

"I'll wait for you in the hallway, and whenever you are ready, you can take Toby from me."

"Okay," I surrender.

The truth is despite everything, I'm anxious for this encounter. Will he have moved on? Will he have forgotten me? I'm not sure I'm emotionally prepared to find the answers to all the questions I have. It worries me how he will react to all that has happened; it is a lot to learn in just a single conversation. I silently make the choice to give him only superficial details.

I lead the way towards Tobias's old apartment hoping that he still lives there. Each place we pass makes my mind come flooding back with memories, and each step I take brings me closer to him.

I am so caught up in my thoughts that I don't even realize that we stand in front of the apartment. I sigh and look at Uri and Toby.

"We'll be here," Uriah assures me and goes to the corner of the hallway with Toby, so Tobias doesn't see them immediately.

I close my eyes and this time my mind thinks of a hundred different ways in which everything could go wrong, but I block them out. I've been waiting for this for far too long.

I knock.

"Go away Zeke! I don't want to go to another one of your stupid parties!" It's him. His voice fills my heart, but he doesn't know it's me.

"Tobias please open the door! It's me, Tris," I say in hopes of getting him to come.

I rest my hands and forehead on the door, throwing my weight against it. He probably won't come. A brusque movement causes me to lose my balance, but something seems to catch me. More specifically, someone. I look up and stare at his beautiful deep sea blue eyes which I have longed to see for so long. Tobias looks at me in disbelief and his eyes fill with tears. He doesn't let go of me as he kicks the door close. He looks at me one more time. His shaky hands trace my cheek bones, his touch is still so familiar against my skin. He then stops what he's doing and backs away.

"No. It can't be you. You're dead." He shakes his head and mutters senselessly.

"Tobias calm down," I say slowly coming closer to him.

"This isn't real, Tobias. You've got to let go. I know it's hard because she was all you've had and all you'll ever have and she was the bravest and most selfless person you knew. And when she said she wasn't beautiful she was right, because that word can't cover her. She was

more than beautiful. I know that sometimes you think you see her or hear her voice, but you've got to calm down." He pauses. "It's just that God I miss her." He finishes saying this and breaks down, still looking at me. I am just left paralyzed by his words. I silently whisper.

"I'm sorry." I squint my eyes together. My impulsive actions hurt him deeply.

As I open my eyes, Tobias slowly approaches me. His eyes are wide and tears stream down his face, something I wasn't used to seeing in my time at Dauntless.

"You usually vanish after I say something."

"I'm not going anywhere." I practically run and bury my head in his chest. His heart beats fast and steady, and he smells like home. He takes a few seconds, but wraps his arms protectively around me and kisses my head. We stay like this for a while, crying in each other's arms, until he pulls me back and stares into my eyes.

"Is this real?" He asks.

"As real as can be," I tell him.

He then leans in and kisses me and our touch lifts sparks that create an explosion. When we pull away, his handsome smile grows and then fades. He touches one of the bruises I got when I escaped. Rage flows through his eyes.

"We need to talk Tris." He says and I nod.

"I'm going to grab us some water. Make yourself at home," he says a bit awkwardly and heads into the kitchen.

I start to look around and notice the words "Fear God Alone" are gone and the words "Bravery and Selflessness" replace them. I sit down on the couch. I find a picture frame turned the other way and take it in my hands. What I see surprises me; it's a picture of me in the cafeteria. I start to look at it as a voice speaks.

"Out of everything I own, that's my favorite," Tobias says.

"Where did you get it?" I ask.

"Zeke found it in one of the old camera footages."

"Oh." I put the photo back. And look at his slightly bloodshot eyes.

"Where do we start?" I ask.

"What really happened?" he asks.

"I couldn't let Caleb go in there for me; not after everything and it killed me to have to leave you, but I couldn't let him sacrifice himself for me, I couldn't be that selfish, so I entered the room. I was able to survive the death serum with some effort. When I moved on, David appeared in front of me with a gun threatening to shoot me if I entered the code and when I did, he kept his promise. I thought I was dying. The pain left my body, and an image of my mother emerged in front of me, and I slowly let go. Apparently, Matthew found out what David had done to me only a few moments after the gun went off. He convinced him that keeping me alive as a specimen would be more important than letting me die, so he injected me with a stronger version of the paralytic serum from Erudite and healed me. Unlike in Erudite, I couldn't hear or feel anything, but when I woke up from the serum, you and our friends were all gone, and they told me how you now believed I was dead. It hurt more than anything. Knowing I lost you. They locked me in a room, and I only left for tests and simulations for their 'Genetic Divergent' research. I had to watch you die almost every day in the sims, but I had to be strong for -" I catch myself before I continue.

"For what, Tris?" He asks anxiously.

"I'm scared of how you'll react."

"You can tell me anything. We made a promise in what seems to each other that we wouldn't lie, remember?" He questions. I sigh.

"Tobias, you are a father."

His eyes widen, his mouth opens, and he is frozen for what seems like an eternity. The silence doesn't calm me, so I speak again.

"About two weeks after you left, they gave me a blood test, and it determined that I was pregnant. It was hard not having you around, but he reminds me so much of you, and until now, he was the only thing I had to hold on to; my last hope."

"He? It's a boy?" He manages to ask.

"Yes, his name is Toby." Tobias goes silent once again.

"They let me keep him because they would run tests on him when he reached the age where serums work. I would never let them do that. I tried to escape a few times after I found out about Toby, but never succeeded and when he was born, they threatened to shock and torture him if tried. I just couldn't risk it. Not until yesterday. The power shut down, so I picked him up and ran. On my way out I found the person responsible for the power outage: Uriah."

"He's alive?" He questions in a whispery tone.

"Yes. Turns out he had gone through the same experience as I did. He helped us run and we, thanks to him, got here safely."

"My son, is he here?" He asks.

"Yes."

"Can I- Can I see him?" He stutters upon the question. I just smile and nod. I get up from the couch, open the door and go to the hallway. Toby lights up when he sees me.

"Mommy, mommy, mommy!" He says excitedly. I pick him up from Uriah's arms.

"Hey, buddy!" I reply, and he snuggles in my chest.

"Thanks, Uri; For everything," I say and hug him.

"Anytime, but now I have to talk to someone too." He replies and winks leaving the hall.

As I get in the apartment, Tobias gets up from the couch and turns to me, his eyes fixed. Toby is facing the other way.

"Is this him?" He asks.

"Yes," I tell him. Toby looks at Tobias after he hears us talking with a curious look on his face.

"Hi Toby," Tobias says softly.

"Hi," Toby says back. "Who are you?" He asks. Tobias looks almost broken at the question but quickly recomposes himself.

"I'm your dad. Do you know what that is?"

"No," Toby answers and shakes his head.

"It's like a man version of mom," He tells Toby who grins in response.

He yawns and turns to me. "Mommy I'm tired."

"I know honey," I tell him.

"Toby can sleep on the spare mattress I have for today," Tobias offers.

"That would be great," I say.

"I'll go get it." He takes it into his room with a set of blankets. I follow him and put Toby down; Tobias leaves the room to grab something else in the meantime.

"Sleep tight buddy," I say and kiss his forehead.

Tobias comes back with one of his shirts and some of my old clothes; a black tank top, black leggings and combat boots. He sets these down on the dresser.

"Are you comfortable sleeping with me tonight or would you rather sleep on the couch?" Tobias asks.

"With you," I answer a bit shyly blushing.

"Here, you can sleep in this," He says as he hands me the shirt he was holding. It smells like him.

"Thank you." I take the shirt and go shower quickly before going to sleep. I put the shirt on, and it looks like a dress on me. It has his smell - rust, musk and something sweet - home. I find him in the kitchen drinking a glass of water. I don't say anything; I walk towards him, and we stay together, embracing each other as if we were scared that something would pull us apart. We remain this way until we are both too tired to stand, then, we go to sleep. It is the first time I sleep soundly in two years.

I have a question for you guys! Do you want a Tobias reaction chapter or do you want me to keep moving with the story? Points will be awarded for answering.
