Hey Guys,
Thank you soo much for all of you sweet reviews! They made my day! I changed the title of the story, tell me if you like it! I also figured out how to put a picture up! Ya! Now on with the story…..
Disclaimer : I wish I had as brilliant a mind as Veronica Roth's but I dont. Veronica Roth owns the Divergent Trilogy and all of its characters.
Recap
"You-you you're married?!" he said, fumbling for words. "For nine years." Tris said with a sigh. First Caleb, and now her father. What is this, they show up after thirteen years, and expect her not to have moved on? Probably remembering he was Abnegation and could not press for more detail, he forced a smile and said, "I am very happy for you Beat-,uh Tris. Goodbye." He bowed and walked away. Great, first I meet Marcus again, and now my wife's father has the worst impression of me possible. My day just keeps getting better and better.
Tris POV
We walked hand in hand to the cafeteria after we had made sure the initiates could all shoot a gun. There was only 45 minutes left since Blaire had just figured out how to get it even near the target. Thats when we gave up, and told her she would have to practice on her own. Blaire would have skipped out of the room, if not for those painful death-traps she wore. As we made our way over to the table, Christina let go of Claire so could toddle her way over to us. I picked her up and hugged her, pressing my face into her hair. "Hey sweetie, did you have fun with Aunt Christina?" She laughed. Huh, well I guess that answers my question. As we sat down, Tobias grabbed Claire and threw her in the air and caught her. She screamed with laughter and screamed "Dadada!'' I felt a little tap on my shoulder. When I turned around, I caught my breath, shocked. Seriously, was this shock the hell out of Tris day? The woman in front of me was short and petite, with curly blonde hair swept into a severe bun and kind blue eyes. She was wearing gray Abnegation robes and her face was lined with wrinkles as she smiled at me. "Mom!" I shouted as I sprang up from my seat and hugged her. I didn't care that she was Abnegation, she was my mom. How could my father not tell me she had come too? "Beatrice, how are you dear?" She asked as she hesitated but hugged me tightly. I was surprised but remembered that she had originally been from Dauntless. "I'm fine Mom, but I missed you so much. How are you?" "Oh, I missed you too Sweetie. I could see tears pooling her eyes, as she held me at arms length looking me over. I could easily imagine what she was seeing, a miniature version of herself, with short hair and dark eyeliner over her eyes. She was dressed in tight black skinny jeans, a sheer, black, v-neck sweater with a dark mahogany tank top underneath. I had on a silver studs, a necklace that said 10 on it that Tobias had given my on our wedding day, and ankle length combat boots. Through my shirt, I knew she could see my tattoos, dark against my pale skin. This younger version was stronger and had a tattoo of seven ravens, three of them under the one closest to her heart.
"And how are you?" I was impatient to see if she had been living her life as fully as she could. "I have been just fine, although we do miss having you and Caleb around the house." She gave me a small smile. Something in her expression changed and she looked past me. I turned around to see that Tobias had risen, with Claire in his arms, and was looking at us with a peculiar expression. "Hello," she said, extending her hand to Tobias. Wow, my mom didn't seem as 'Stiff' as shifted Claire to his other arm, and shook her hand. "I am Natalie Prior, Beatrice's mother." "Mom, its Tris now." I interrupted. She smiled and nodded. "Hello Natalie, I'm Tris's husband, Four." "Its very nice to see you again Four." She turned and winked at me. "Congratulations, I didn't know you were married." "Thank you and its to see you again too Natalie." Tobias said, his voice deep. "Mom, how come dad didn't tell me you came?" I questioned. All of a sudden, her eyes become hard, and her face turned stoney. "Ah, you see we have not been seeing eye to eye lately. Although, I am sure he meant to tell you, but forgot." She forced a smile and I could see the pain buried deep in her eyes.
She abruptly changed the conversation, diverting her eyes to Claire, who was gnawing on her thumb. "And who is this?" "Oh mom, I would like you to meet your granddaughter for the very first time. Claire, this is your Grandma Natalie." A huge smile graced my mother's face as she cooed, "Hello darling. You are such a beautiful baby, justlike your mother was." Ii blushed and started to protest."Mom -"She wasn't listening though, she was already taking Claire out of Tobias's arms and rocking her gently, humming a song. She peppered kisses all over her face and whispered sweet nothings to her. I smiled as I leaned into Tobias, I never had a grandmother, but this is what I had imagined when my mother met my children.
We introduced my mother to our company at the lunch table since we still had 30 minutes, we decided to go to the apartment. All the way there, my mom didn't let go of Claire, completely obsessed with her. As I opened the door to our home, she gasped. We had one of the biggest apartments in the Dauntless Compound, with Tobias being a leader, and both of us being Dauntless prodiges. Also, with three kids, you needed a LOT of space. I made my way to the living room where I dropped down on the couch. Tobias sat next to me and my mom sat on the ottoman across from us. She finally let Claire go to play with her dolls. "You have a very nice home." she commented, looking around. "Thank you maam." Tobias said, obviously trying to win my mom over because my dad obviously didn't like him. She gasped as her eyes landed on the picture over the mantelpiece. It was taken sometime this december and had all of us in it. I was sitting on a stool holding Claire, while Tobias stood over me, with Carter on his shoulders. Chase was clinging to our legs and we were all smiling in the picture. screaming, 'Cake!' "You- you have three kids?" she asked. "Yes, thats Carter-" I pointed to the picture, "and thats Chase." She smiled. When she turned back, her gaze drifted to Tobias. "So Four, you look familiar." He looked nervous and said, "I can explain." but she cut him off. "No need, Tobias, I know." She stated simply. I looked at the clock and realized we had five minutes to get to the training room. I told my mom this and she left, promising to come back. We dropped off Claire with Christina and headed to the training room.
