Chapter 10
After a long run and plenty of teasing between Tris and Eric since Vivian couldn't see them from the stroller, Tris and Eric arrived back at his house and Eric vanished up the stairs to his bedroom to shower, Tris going with Vivian into her room and changing into her half black and red jeans and threw on her top that had two dragon's on it and snapped a studded bracelet onto her wrist, Vivian putting her sweater on the chair and sat on the floor and played with her bunny.
"How do you want to do your hair Sweetie?" Tris asked as she grabbed the brush and sat on the floor behind Vivian, her own around her face. Vivian turned and looked at Tris before tugging on her own.
"Me too" Vivian said pointing to Tris's hair. Tris chuckled and started brushing the knots from Vivian's hair, Eric leaning in the doorway once he was dressed in his usual work uniform of black pants, shirt and vest, his combat boots at the front door. His eyes travelled over Tris's outfit as she smoothed Vivian's hair down.
"All done. How about some breakfast" Tris said setting the brush back and offering her hand to Vivian who stood up and walked with Tris to the door.
"Daddy!" Vivian said happily as she ran at him and Eric caught her and lifted her up into his arms. Vivian kissed Eric's cheek making him chuckle as Tris walked the rest of the way over to them and Eric linked their fingers together before heading down stairs again, Tris moving to make breakfast for Vivian and herself since Eric was glancing at the clock.
"Do you need to go soon?" Tris asked softly as Eric moved behind her as she rest her hands on the counter.
"I have half an hour before I go. Max called a staff meeting last night." Eric said shaking his head before Tris's eyes lit up.
"Go spend time with your daughter while I make breakfast." Tris said shooing Eric towards Vivian and started making French toast. Peering into the living room as she waited for the pan to heat she watched Eric do sit ups Vivian standing on his feet and smiling brightly every time he came up and touched their noses together.
"Svich" Vivian said getting off Eric's feet allowing him to roll over and climb onto his back as he started doing push-ups. Pulling her phone out of her pocket she started filming it since it was adorable to see the two of them interact the way they were. Heading back to the stove Tris started cooking breakfast, the smell soon bringing Eric and Vivian to the kitchen to see what she was doing.
"Yummy?" Vivian asked confused.
"Yummy" Tris confirmed as she plated some for Eric and Vivian, the man frowning when he saw how little Tris put on her plate.
"Are you naturally a light eater or? Eric asked as he moved to the table and Eric got Vivian into her boaster seat and let her start eating the bite sized pieces. He didn't want to upset her but he also didn't want to worry about her.
"It depends on the morning. I also had an apple before I left home too" Tris said as she started eating, watching Eric's face as he blissed out after his first bite.
"This is really good" Eric said when he was able to talk making Tris smile. Eating her own breakfast she kept an eye on Vivian and made sure no syrup got into her blonde hair.
"Thank you. The twins were hopeless in the kitchen so I was in charge of meals. I had to get inventive at times." Tris said as she watched Eric keep eating, his eyes brightening with an idea.
"Tris? In a couple months just before the end of the semester one of the other trainers: His name is Dragon to the students is being thrown a party. He's been with Dauntless for almost 20 years now. Most of us in leadership have been planning it for a while but if you're interested would you like to go as my date? We also need people to cook but being my date just allows me to brag about you some more than normal." Eric said feeling like he was rambling a little bit, but when he looked at Tris she was smiling.
"I'd love to. On both accounts. We can make a day of it, cooking that is." Tris said before looking down.
"By then you want us to be public I'm guessing?" Tris asked softly and Eric looked thoughtful.
"I think by then we will be more comfortable with each other and in front of Vivian. But if we aren't then we can go but not announce it" Eric said as Tris ran her fingers over the edge of her plate as she thought.
"I think we can both agree that would be best" Tris said before glancing at Vivian who had syrup smeared over her cheek. Grabbing the damp cloth she had set nearby for the very purpose she wiped her cheek clean before tapping Vivian's nose.
"Let's not get it into your hair ok Sweetie?"
"Otay" Vivian said as she kept eating Eric chuckling as he stood and carried his plate to the sink and rinsed it off.
"I'll see you both after work today. Be a good girl for Tris ok Vivian?" Eric said as Vivian looked up at him with s syrupy grin.
"Woves you daddy" Vivian said as Eric leaned down and kissed the top of her head.
"I love you too Princess" Eric said before looking at Tris who was looking at them fondly.
"Any requests for dinner?" Tris asked as she stood up and once out of sight of Vivian grinned as Eric wasted no time in pulling her to his chest and hugging her tight.
"Anything you cook is bound to be wonderful" Eric said before tilting Tris's face up slightly before he gently kissed her cheek.
"Any problem's just call or text me. There shouldn't be but"
"Eric? We will be fine. Call us on your lunch and spare if you are so worried but we will be fine." Tris said finding his concern touching. Leaning onto her toes she kissed his cheek feeling him huff slightly.
"Sorry, I'm just a little worried about leaving my two favourite girls alone" Eric said as Tris righted herself a grin coming to her lips.
"And I'm concerned since you teach a class where they throw knives and you'll get hurt." Tris countered making him chuckle. It had never happened but the chance was there, so he understood.
"Alright, alright I'm going then." Eric said stepping back and making sure he had everything in his bag before heading off to the school, Tris returning to her place at the table and watching Vivian. Once Vivian was all done eating Tris cleaned her hands and together they took Vivian's plate and cup tot the sink and rinsed them, Vivian standing on a stool beside Tris as she quickly washed the dishes.
"We do now Tis?" Vivian asked as Tris knelt down to look at her.
"How about we go read a book then in a little while we can go outside" Tris suggested. Vivian thought for a moment, the look of concentration on her face making Tris smile before Vivian nodded.
"No read" Vivian said softly before Tris smiled and took Vivian's hand.
"I have a book we can read. A book about your favourite movie" Vivian looked so excited Tris couldn't help the smile that came to her lips. Grabbing the Little Princess from her bag they walked together to the living room and got comfortable on the couch, Vivian holding her rabbit as Tris opened the book.
"Chapter 1 is called Sara. Once on a dark winter's day, when the yellow fog hung so thick and heavy in the streets of London that the lamps were lighted and the shop windows blazed with gas as they do at night, an odd-looking little girl sat in a cab with her father and was driven rather slowly through the big thoroughfares.
She sat with her feet tucked under her, and leaned against her father, who held her in his arm, as she stared out of the window at the passing people with a queer old-fashioned thoughtfulness in her big eyes." Tris said the story making Vivian smile as she leaned against her Nanny.
Vivian was already quite fond of the older woman and she could see that her daddy liked her too. Maybe if she was really good, her Tis would be her new mommy. She never liked the other girls that came to watch her. They were mean or smelled funny. There was never a time in her short life Vivian liked anyone more than she loved her Daddy, her grandpa was second on the list of men that she trusted. But when it came to women Vivian didn't trust many, especially the one that was names Suzanne. She may be her mother but even at two and a half Vivian knew a mommy was someone who kissed your forehead and hugged you when you needed it even if you don't say anything. They helped you get dressed in the morning and did your hair and called you pretty. Her daddy did that but she wanted a mommy too, like other little boys and girls she saw at the parks.
Even after a few times with Tris, Vivian adored her. Tris who knew her Daddy. Tris who checked her temperature when she wasn't feeling well and rescued her bunny and stopped the mean boys from picking on her. Tris who held her as she slept and took care of her. Tris who called her Sweetie and even now was running her fingers through her hair as she read a story to her. Yes Vivian may only be two and a half but she knew she wanted Tris as her mommy.
Tris ended up reading three chapters to Vivian before marking their place and set the book down and looked out the window.
"Let's go outside for a little bit ok Sweetie then maybe a little later we can read some more" Tris suggested as Vivian wiggled off the couch and went to the door, Her fingers wrapped around Tris's hand. Vivian found her shoes and sat on the floor and tried to put then on herself before watching Tris put on her combat boots and tie them tightly before kneeling next to Vivian and helping her put on her shoes. Slipping into their jackets or sweaters Vivian made sure she had her bunny and waited until the stroller was outside and past the steps, Tris tucking the key Eric had given her with her own into her jacket before tugging Tris's hand.
"Stoler?" Tris smiled as she lifted Vivian onto her hip.
"Of Course sweetie. I just wanted to make sure we had everything." Setting Vivian into the stroller and securing her in, she shared a smile with Vivian.
"Let's go have some fun at the park" Tris said watching as Vivian brightened. Tris checked one last time that she had everything before starting towards the nearest park. Eric had given her a list of things to match out for. From the fact that most parents tended to either tell their children not to play with Vivian because of him or do nothing when they picked on her.
Tris was content with the knowledge that Eric was right but she was going to change that if she could. Vivian was almost three. In a couple years she would be starting school. She wanted the little one to at least know some of the other children, be it older than her or the same age. Once they reached the park, Tris pulled Vivian out of the stroller and after watching Vivian hesitate took the small hand in hers.
"Let's go try the slide first" Tris said knowing exactly how to fix how unsure and shy Vivian seemed to be. Racing with Vivian to the slide they climbed up together before sliding down, Vivian's giggles making Tris smile.
"Hold on let's get our hair out of the way." Tris said moving off to the side and quickly braided her hair, Vivian watching her.
"Me Too!" Vivian said as Tris chuckled and braided Vivian's hair the same as hers and tied it off before they took off for the slide again.
"You and your husband should be ashamed of yourself. Leaving her with sitters most of the time" a woman said as they started for the swings. Tris stopped dead and pulled Vivian up onto her hip a frown touching her lips. She wasn't frowning because she was assumed to be Vivian's mother, which was actually quite flattering, suggesting a beautiful child, like Vivian could be hers.
"I beg your pardon?" Tris said calmly.
"You heard me. She's had more sitters than any child here." The woman snapped Vivian curling into Tris and hiding her face into her neck. Tris brought her hand up from Vivian's back to stroke her hair.
"The reason behind that is none of your business. And don't think I don't know that the other children here don't pick on her and ignore her. You wouldn't like it if it was your child so why is mine so different? Because me and my husband look different?" Tris said going with the fact that it was assumed that Tris was Vivian's mother and Eric, her husband. The woman looked taken aback by Tris's response. She hadn't expected her to respond like she did.
"I…I" Tris sighed and resisted rolling her eyes.
"Just because we look different that doesn't mean we are bad people. Sure my husband is a little harsh at times but he works at Dauntless teaching. He's stressed enough and our daughter being verbally assaulted and ignored doesn't help." Tris said as Vivian started playing with the end of Tris's braid.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I promised my daughter time on the swings" Tris said turning and leaving the woman and set Vivian into the empty swing.
"Sorry about that Sweetie, let's have some fun ok?" Tris said hoping to get a smile from the silent child. Seeing Vivian smile brightly Tris started pushing Vivian who giggled the higher she went.
"High" Vivian asked between giggles as Tris stopped the swing and pressed a kiss onto Vivian's forehead before giving her a under doggy, Vivian's laughter ringing through the park, making many parents look over at the pair. Tris not caring about the looks as she made faces as Vivian when she was far enough back, Vivian returning the faces between giggles. The rest of the park was forgotten as the two of them played, eventually moving to the slides and climbing on the playground together.
