Tris Prior
Sydney, Australia.
1 week after the proposal.
Naked. Our bodies only separated by the thing bed-sheet we lie under, staring into one anothers eyes. He woke first, he has been doing so lately. I always find him staring at me, right in the eyes. And I love it. I love him.
"Good morning Mrs Eaton" He whispers, his face failing to hide the elated grin he hasn't been able to get rid of... since I said yes.
"Technically, I'm still Miss Prior, but in 6 months time, It's Mrs Eaton" I remind him. You'd think that would drain away his smile, but it's quite the opposite. It makes it stretch even further. He's like an excited child at Christmas.
He pulls me closer to him, making the sheet feel like it vanishes into oblivion. "I wish I could just make you mine already" He laughs, kissing just above my eyebrow.
"Patience, young padawan" I joke
"That's it!" He announces and I pull away from him. "I knew I had seen you before... You're the guy they based Yoda off! The little midget green guy with grey hair" He taunts
I let my mouth rest in an O shape and then raise my knee's to his chest, pushing away from him, but he grabs my hand and laughs while I stay emotionless, despite how hard it is. "No, don't touch me" I protest, meaning the complete opposite. All I want is for him to do just that.
"Come on, baby" He grins with one side of the mouth and I can resist. I lie still on the double bed and invite him to come to me this time, and he shuffles to the side and we resume the position from a minute previous.
"I could stay like this forever if I could" I whisper
"6 months darling, and you can" He assures me and my heart thumps.
"Mum!" I shriek and run towards her, my polka dot playsuit slightly sticking to my skin from the heat but I ignore it and run to my mum. She smiles at me lovingly, and when I finally reach her she drops her bags and holds my tightly, displaying more strength than what I thought she had!
"Bea.. Oh my sweet bumble bea" She whisper into my ear, pulling away. "you look so beautiful" She takes me in from just an arms length away.
"I know she does, I'm a lucky guy" I hear Tobias say from behind me, just a few feet.
"Tobias" My dad grins, stepping forward. "It's brilliant to see you, mate" He hugs him this time instead of shaking his hand
Caleb is next out of the taxi and he looks slightly miserable, he always did hate hot climates, but he soon brightens up when seeing us. "Tobias" He shakes his hand, and I hear him whisper "Welcome to the family" and I nearly crease from happiness.
Susan is the next out of the cab and she hugs me "Congratulations love!" She says, and we all walk back to the truck that Tobias rented for the excessive travelling goods that people are likely to bring.
Caleb, my dad and Tobias all sit in the front of the truck... probably talking about sports or something. I sit in the back with my mom beside me and Susan opposite, and we can all barely hold in our excitement for the wedding.
"So as soon as we get back we need to find you a dress" Susan says, and by back she means Venice Beach. We decided to use the beach as the location, and on the day we plan on closing off the surrounding area until after the ceremony, and then when we open it the floods of fans will no doubt come in.
"Yes!" I say "And all of the bridesmaid dresses and stuff... and invites.. and oh my gosh this is actually happening!" I squeak
"I'm so proud of you. Of you both" My mum says to us, holding my left hand and smiling across lovingly as Susan. "I'm so lucky to have you two" I see her eyes clouding up but she blinks away tears and I squeeze her hand with complete and utter admiration.
"I love you mum" I giggle
"I love you, Natalie" Susan laughs, and we all erupt into a fit of joy.
We check my family in to the hotel we're all staying at, the two double rooms we had to book last second. Our room, the room Tobias and I sleep in, overlooks the Sydney Opera House and we spend all night sitting on the balcony gazing with awe.
First, we help my parents carry their belongings up to the their room on the second floor out of 16. They opt to take the stairs, and I thank them. Claustrophobia is a bitch!
Upon opening the room, we're shocked that it's actually different to ours when it comes to interior. But my mum, an enthusiast of design work, is taken back in it's elaborate choice of colouring, white and gold everywhere.
Next on the drop of list is Caleb and his wife Susan, and we drop them off on the 12th floor, and we stay in their room for maybe half an hour, just catching up.
"So any plans for tonight?" Caleb asks me, as Tobias and Susan get to know each other on the other side of the room, he helps her unpack.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot to tell you. I told mum and not you!" I laugh "All of us, the whole bunch, are planning on just hanging out in the bar next door. It's nothing posh really, just a few pool tables and dart boards with a bar. The staff are super friendly too" I explain
"Oh, sounds brilliant. What time shall we be there?" He asks and I ponder over it.
"Maybe 6? Dad's getting old" I smirk and he explodes into loud laughter
"He's so losing his shit" He laughs, removing his thick glasses to wipe a tear away.
"But we love him!" I say, grabbing my brothers arm and swinging it.
"You're extra happy today" He remarks
"Caleb, I haven't stopped smiling in a week." I grin and he rolls his eyes, so I decide to shove my wedding ring in his face "Look at it!" I boast
"Yes, it's lovely." He groans with a smile
Zeke
"So Zeke, as best man, you have special duties to prepare!" Uriah says as he, Will and I sit around a table in the restaurant of the hotel, grabbing a bite to eat for breakfast. Well... for Uriah it's just third breakfast.
"I know, I know!" I shrug it off. "Got it all planned, young one" I tap the side of my temple.
"What's the plan then? Bachelor party!" Will nudges me in the side.
"Well..." I say, leaning into the table and they do the same so our heads are all close together.
"Uriah your breath smells of garlic" Will remarks
Uriah burps in his face and we both lean back in disgust, and wave off Uriah's cackling laughter. "You're a sick, twisted person" I laugh
"I know. Anyway! Plan!" He hurries me on.
"Okay okay... So I was thinking... How about we take a trip to the one and only party place imaginable for such a special occasion. The first Dauntless wedding guys! We need to induct him into the wall of fame... OR the wall of shame! Are you guys catching my drift?" I ask and they look at each other, then back at me, and nod.
"Ayia Napa" We all say in perfectly timed unison.
Shauna
"Hey honey" I say, opening the door to a nervous looking Tris. Zeke is off out somewhere... eating probably, and I sit in my dressing gown in the hotel room painting my nails.
"Hey Shauna!" She says, walking in and lying on the bed
"Loving the playsuit babe, is it the one from House of Frazier?" I ask
"Yeah! You can borrow it if you want" She smiles
"Ooh, don't know if I'd fit it, you're too small" I wink, hinting to me being slightly taller.
"Careful, or I won't tell you what I came here to tell you!" She complains and I submit, lying on the bed next to her and letting my red nails dry.
"Go on" I chuckle.
"Well... Seeing as how Zeke is the best man, I wanted to pick you anyway, but will you be the maid of honor?" She asks and my cheeks roar red
"Awww Tris!" I cover my mouth with my fingers "Of course I will!" I cry out and embrace her.
Tobias
"So yeah guys. I just want to start off by thanking you all so much for the support on the proposal video. It's now the most watched video on the channel, surpassing the blowing up Uriah's car prank we filmed, and it's sitting on 112 million views in just seven days. That's incredible, and I'm fairly sure it's a record. And... I really am making this video just to express my gratitude to each and every single one of you. Be it a long time, die hard fan of ours or just a viewer who thumbed up one video that made you smile once. Without all of you, none of this in my life would be possible. And not only do I have the best day of my life to look forward to, I also have the rest of my life to look forward to with the only girl I have ever wanted to spend it with. Without you guys, I would never have met her. She's my everything, and all of you are like little wing-men and wing-women!" I speak directly into the camera as I vlog. "So right now I'm just walking down the streets of Sydney, off to get some Milk and Sugar for Tris' mom and dad as they didn't get any in their hotel room. So, if you're watching this, sort it out! Just kidding obviously, but It's nice to get out of the hotel you know? So far, actually, I've only met one fan and he just came over and said hi and stuff which was pretty cool, so at-least we know there's a Dauntless lover in Australia!" I chuckle, ending that part of the vlog by stopping the recording.
I call Tris and and answers straight away
"Hey sunshine" I say, picking up some lingo her dad taught me
"That's a new one, was it my dad?" She asks
I laugh, and she knows she caught me out. "You got me. I'm at the store, you need anything?" I ask her and she begins rattling off her list.
"Well obviously you need Milk and Sugar for my parents, and we could do with some Jam, bread, some crisps if they have any, nutella... ooh and fanta! And a newspaper if you can find a good one? Caleb was asking earlier and a-" She says but stops halfway through
"And a what?" I ask her
"Nothing? I didn't say anything" She innocently giggles but even through the phone I know she's lying.
"I heard you, you may as well tell me" I tease her into telling me and when she does, it nearly knocks me over in shock
"And another pregnancy test"
