SHOUTOUT TO: Trisaba Daph Ride 464, Brooke book, and Fourtris Lover (guest) for their wonderful reviews and for answering the last QOTC! I love them all. On with the chapter.

Recap: And why are they coming this way?

TOBIAS POV (you weren't expecting that were you ;))

From somewhere behind me I hear "Beatrice? Is that you honey?" and I feel Tris tense up beside me. She and I both turn around and see two people who are probably in their mid-fifties. The woman vaguely looks like Tris and the man is a carbon copy of Caleb Prior. Wait, Tris' last name is Prior, and this man just called her 'Beatrice' and 'honey'. Does that mean that her and Caleb are related? I knew she acted weird when I mentioned him!

"Natalie, Andrew. I'm not Beatrice anymore, she died with Robert. It's Tris now." She says this more venomous than I've ever heard her speak.

"You can't avoid us forever Tris," he spits out her new name. "We're your parents. And it's father and mother to you! Do you hear me?"

"I refuse to call the two people who abandoned me after the most tragic event of my life that just happened to give birth to me, parents. I am an adult now with my own life, friends, and boyfriend. I don't need my so-called parents who weren't in my life for thirteen fucking years to magically appear in my new home city and tell me what to do and what to address them as. And you can bet your ass that you will not hear from me after this interaction. Do you understand me?" she screamed at them hatefully.

"Now, now Beatrice, don't you think that you're being a bit irrational? We are your parents after all. You should be thankful that we are alive and well, that's more than some children have." Her mom remarks with false sweetness.

"I am not a child and I refuse to be treated like one." She yells. "And to both of you, you're dead to me."

"You don't have to be so harsh Beatrice!" her father- Andrew- yells at her.

She walks over to him and menacingly whispers "If I ever see you approach me again, I swear to god I will snap your neck faster that you can say 'Stop' do you hear me?" at her parents nod she continued "Good, now get lost!"

Her parents quickly walk away and we couldn't be more relieved. I start clapping and she starts sarcastically bowing and thanking the 'audience'. I love that even after a time like that; we can still be joking and easy. I reach down and pick her up, spinning her around and kissing her. All the while, she giggles like a mad person.

"You're mad Tris!" I yell.

"That I am, but I'll let you in on a secret: all the best people are." She says, quoting 'Alice in Wonderland'.

We laugh and start back on our way to the deli we have deemed our favorite, as if nothing had happened.

TRIS POV (Marlene's Delivery Date)

Our whole group of friends is gathered in the waiting room of the maternity wing of NYC Hospital. All of us except Marlene and Uriah. They've been in the delivery room for about four hours and, from what I've heard, the baby has almost been completely pushed out. (Sorry if anything here is incorrect, I have no idea what happens during birth) We're all dozing off when a nurse comes out and announces that the baby has been delivered and that Marlene and Uriah would like to see Four and I first. We smile at the nurse and follow her to the room where Mar and Uri are. An exhausted-looking Mar is holding a small pink bundle.

"Hi, how're you doing?" I ask quietly.

"Tired, but I just gave birth to the most amazing daughter that has ever lived." She replies. "Meet Julianna Grace Pedrad."

That's a perfect name for the little bundle of joy that is sleeping in Marlene's arms. We talk for a bit longer until she has to call in the rest of our friends.

"She was so adorable!" I squeal. What? I never squeal.

"Yeah she was really cute." Tobias says.

"Why don't we head back to the apartment building, it's late and tech week starts the day after tomorrow, so I want to be well rested and prepared for the best kind of torture." I tell him. He agrees and we catch a cab and head back to the building. I can't help but notice his eyes. They're a deep blue hue like the bottom of the ocean. I swear, I could stare at them for hours. He notices my staring and pecks me on the lips while I blush because he caught me.

"After my last relationship I'd never thought that I would ever find love and happiness with a significant other. Then I met you, you were sweet, kind, and caring even when we first met. I love you Tobias James Eaton. You are the only one for me." I confess.

"And I love you Beatrice Elizabeth Prior. You are my soul mate, and my eternal love." He whispers back to me, since we're still in the cab.

We are dropped off at our apartment building and we pay and tip the driver and bid him a good night. Tobias walks me to my apartment and kisses me goodnight before heading down the hall to his own apartment. When I go inside, I turn on the first movie that is recommended for me on Netflix. It happens to be the movie adaptation of 'Wicked' and after watching it, I'm psyched that I'm lucky enough to be in this show and have all the other wonderful things in my life. I'm so grateful for all my friends and for my successful career. I'm thankful that I'm healthy and in good spirits. I'm not thankful for the phone interrupting my thoughts. The number is unknown so I press decline. They leave a voicemail, and I'm surprised to hear it.

I AM SO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I was at a District Theatre Competition all day on Saturday and had a S***TON of homework to do on Sunday. And to all you who read this chapter (::) (::) here are some virtual cookies!
