Love in Dauntless

Chapter 29: Visiting day

Today is visiting day, so the initiates have a day off before stage two starts tomorrow. Right now I am getting dressed whilst Tobias feeds Hope and does breakfast for us. My mum called and said she was going to come to see us. My dad wanted to come but he is busy at work.

Max agreed to allow fifteen initiates in this year so only four more have to leave us.

I put on a black dress that Christina got for me not too long ago. It doesn't cling to me so I was okay with it. Also, it goes to just above my knee so it is a reasonable length. I want to look nice for my mum. I also curl my hair and leave it hanging over my shoulders in its loose curls. I put some foundation on, but not much as I want to look natural. I then put on a thin line of eyeliner and some mascara.

When I'm done I walk out of the en-suite and enter the kitchen where Tobias is standing at the oven, frying bacon, and Hope is sitting in her high chair, playing with her empty bottle. "Hey." I say as I sit in the seat at the table next to her high chair. Tobias smiles at me.

"You look beautiful, Tris." He says.

"Thank you. You don't look so bad yourself." I say. He is wearing his usual t-shirt and jeans, but it looks good on him so I don't mind.

"Thank you." He says.

Not long later he places a plate with a bacon sandwich on it in front of me and where he is going to be sitting before placing two glasses of orange juice on the table and sitting down in the spot next to me.

We eat our breakfast and leave the apartment, Hope on my hip. We walk to the pit and stand in the place I met my mum in last year. We wait for her to arrive, watching other people with their parents, and other walking away looking upset.

It's not long before my mum walks over to us, smiling ear to ear. "Beatrice, Four." She says.

"Hey mum." I say before embracing her, Hope still on my hip.

When we pull away from each other she shakes Tobias' hand.

"Look at Hope. She's getting so big." My mum says.

"Do you want to hold her?" I ask.

"Yeah." She says.

I put Hope in her arms and she looks at my daughter with a huge smile on her face.

"Why don't we go back to our apartment?" Tobias suggests.

"Yeah, sure." My mum says.

My mum carries Hope as Tobias and I lead her to our apartment, hand in hand.

When we arrive at the apartment my mum sits on the single arm chair, with Hope on her lap, she bounces Hope up and down on her lap and Hope giggles.

"Do you want a drink or anything, Mrs Prior?" Tobias asks, ever the gentleman.

"No thank you. But you can call me Natalie." She says.

"Okay, Natalie. Do you want anything, Tris?" He asks.

"A can of soda please." I say. He nods before kissing me and heading to the kitchen. I sit on the other sofa and watch my mum play with Hope.

"So, how's married life?" My mum asks.

"Great. He's amazing. We're amazing." I say.

"Thinking of popping me out a few more grandkids anytime soon?" She asks.

"Maybe, in a year or two." I say.

Tobias comes back in with two cans of soda, which he puts on the coffee table and he sits next to me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"So, how's dad?" I ask.

"He's good, but he's been working a lot lately so he's really tired and stuff." Mum answers.

"How about Caleb and Susan?" I ask.

"They're good. They would have come today but Susan's parents are going to Erudite to see how she's settling in and stuff." My mum says. "What do you two do for a living here?" She asks.

"I work in the control room normally, but right now I'm training the transfers with Tris." Tobias says.

"Yeah, I usually work in the tattoo parlour." I say.

"Is the cake as good as it used to be?" She asks. It's strange, knowing my mum came from Dauntless.

"Yeah, it's the best cake ever." I say. Tobias nods his head vigorously.

"How about the burgers?" She asks.

"Amazing." Tobias says.

"In fact, they're doing burgers and cake at lunch; do you want to get some?" I ask.

"That would be amazing." She says, smiling.

Hope has now fallen asleep in my mum's arms.

"Let me go and put her to bed." I say before standing up and taking Hope from my mum's arms. I walk to the nursery and kiss the top of Hope's head before placing her gently in her cot. I then walk out, shutting the door gently behind me and enter the living room to find my mum and Tobias laughing.

"What are you two laughing about?" I ask as I sit next to Tobias again.

"Nothing." Tobias says. I give him a suspicious look. "Fine, we were just talking about how wonderful you are as a mum. And your mother told me something you did when you were little." He says. I look at my mum.

"What did you tell him?" I ask.

"I told him about when you were seven you brought home a cat who had a broken leg and you mended it back to health and looked after it until it got better before letting it go back outside. And I wondered how you still thought you weren't selfless enough for Abnegation." My mum says.

"Then I said you are the bravest and most selfless person I know." Tobias says.

"Then I agreed and we laughed." My mum says.

It is now five o'clock in the evening and my mum left an hour ago to get the train back to Abnegation. Tobias, Hope and I are sitting in the living room, watching a film.

"Your mum is an extraordinary woman. Just like you." Tobias says.

"She is an amazing woman. That's where I get it from." I joke.

"Yeah." He says before kissing me. "She also wants more grandchildren." He adds.

"I know. But I want to wait a year or two so, we're waiting. Also, she has Caleb, I'm sure he could manage giving her another grandchild during that time." I say.

"Do we really have to wait that long?" He whines.

"It's not that long. Also Hope's only twenty five weeks old, nearly, let's wait until she gets a bit older." I say.

"Fine. How about we start trying on her second birthday? That way it isn't a full two years away." He says.

"Fine, we'll start trying on her second birthday. Two years apart is fine." I say before kissing him.

We continue to watch the movie.

When the movie is over we put Hope to bed and get changed into our pyjamas before getting into bed ourselves. I drift into a peaceful sleep, wrapped in the arms of my husband.

Hey guys, hope you enjoyed it.

Just to let you know, after I have done about this initiation I will be skipping to Hope's second birthday. I will do the party, and them trying to have another baby, but I won't go into too much detail as this is rated T.

But I haven't finished with initiation yet, still have stages two and three, then the after party, and a game of truth or dare, and maybe some never have I ever. Then I will skip two years.

I hope you guys don't mind that.

Instead of me calling you 'guys' all the time I have decided that I want you to vote on what I should call you for this and all of my other Divergent fanfics. I have another Divergent fanfic up as well now, it's called Life after the end, could you read and review on it please? It needs some more viewers. Thanks.

Anyway, you can vote from:

Initiates

Divergents

Dauntless

Ten's

Ravens

The name with the most amount of votes will be what I call you from now on.

Also, if you have any questions for me that you want me to answer, PM me, it can be about anything. Me, my life, fanfiction, etc. If you want to fangirl or anything PM me.

Also, if you have any requests for stories or one shots PM me or review saying what you want me to write about, and when and where you want it to be set.

Be brave.

Please review!
