Fanfiction is written for the Author's enjoyment. I write for my readers too but if you don't like the pairing please don't send me reviews or pms saying it sucks. I'm not forcing you to read it. You chose to read this and you can stop at any time. I'm all for constructive criticism or even idea's (you will be credited for giving me it) and I'm not a mean person I swear!
Notes for My readers
All characters look like the movie version, and are now two years older.
Divergent belongs to Veronica Roth otherwise it would be different, very different.
OC's belong to me (Suzanne, Vivian, Hades, Ares, Dragon, Rowena, James and Lily.)
Recognized Character's might be OOC at times (Just giving you fair warning!)
Outfits can be found on my Polyvore account which a link is in my profile

Chapter 37
"Mommy? Daddy?" Vivian asked standing on the mini couch at the end of the bed, Rowena beside her.
"Momma, Daddy?" Rowena asked a moment later when they didn't respond.
"What is it girls?" Eric asked sleepily his head burying itself in Tris's hair as she curled closer to him.
"Christmas?" Vivian said softly as Eric lifted his head again to look at the clock.
"Girls its four o'clock in the morning; It's too early. Try to sleep some more then we can all get up for Christmas." Eric said knowing that the chances of sleep were non-existent. Vivian rarely fell back to sleep and Rowena wouldn't sleep without Vivian.
"What is it?" Tris asked sleepily as she stirred.
"Christmas" Rowena said as Tris turned her body slightly to look at the girls.
"Come here and cuddle for a bit." Tris suggested as she moved so the girls could settle with them on the bed. Both Tris and Eric closed their eyes, hoping to catch up on some more sleep and it wasn't too long after that the girls fell asleep again too, lulled by their parent's even breaths. It was a much more reasonable hour of eight am when they stirred again. Rowena was the first to wake and wiggled her way over to Eric's other side and cuddled with him as he woke up. Opening his eyes, Eric was expecting to see Vivian since Rowena tended to favor Tris over him, and was pleasantly surprised when it was Rowena.
"Christmas Daddy, or more sleep?" Rowena asked softly as she looked up at him, Eric fingers running through her hair slowly.
"We can get up for Christmas now." Eric said with a small laugh as Tris groaned softly.
"Even if it wasn't your baby brother isn't going to let me sleep anymore. He seems to have decided that my bladder is a trampoline." Tris muttered making Eric chuckle softly.
"I'll get Vivian up and we can go have breakfast and open our stockings." Eric said letting Tris out of the bed. It took Eric a couple minutes to get Vivian up before the girls went to brush their teeth and Eric and Tris changed into their onesie's the girls giggling when they saw their parents all dressed up, Tris's belly looking funny in the onesie. Eric waved Tris to the table when they moved to the kitchen, insisting on cooking. Vivian and Rowena brought the stockings to the Dining room with some trouble since they had been propped against the tree. They were full of treats and little presents to tide them over for breakfast. Tris set hers on the table and watched the girls open theirs, helping them put on their headbands or putting in clips. Eric watched from the Kitchen, a soft smile on his lips at the sight.
"Mommy's turn!" Vivian said as Tris started opening her stocking, the little treats, and small presents from Eric and the girls making her smile. Eric went next between making bacon and eggs for everyone, Tris content to rub her growing stomach as Salazar twisted and turned from all the excitement of the morning. By the time Eric had everything cooked and on the table Salazar had settled down enough for Tris to eat a proper breakfast. She was more than happy that her morning sickness was over, and she wasn't running to the kitchen every few minutes because of the smells. Tris savoured the breakfast that Eric made and smiled at him as they watched the girls enjoy their breakfast. They were interested in how the girls would react to their presents. Eric had his fingers crossed that Tris would accept the ring.
When they were done, eating Tris and Eric did the dishes together before moving to the living room where the girls were waiting for them, their eyes on the tree and they bounced up and down on the floor, excited for what was coming. Both of them knew that Eric had put the ring for Tris on the tree in an ornament with a tag that said don't open till Christmas. Tris had been curious but hadn't poked too much about it. Tris sat on the couch in her spot and Eric settled himself in his armchair.
"Ok find three presents for everyone and hand them out." Eric said, as the girls dove towards the tree and started handing presents out into piles, sounding out the names. They could recognize their own names easily and it took them a moment to find Eric and Tris's under the tree. Tris watched the girls with fond smiles, knowing that next year a baby boy would be working with the girls to hand everything out despite being smaller than his older sister's. The girls were happy with their presents and Tris was more than happy with the thoughtful gifts from Eric and the girls. Eric loved his mugs both for home and travelling back and forth to work, something Tris and the girls had spent time looking for or making. Tris was tucking the wrapping paper into the bag she had brought with her into the living room as Eric walked to the tree and gently took the ornament from the branches. Walking slowly over to Tris Eric knelt on the ground before her and handed her it.
"One last present from me," Eric said softly the girls moving closer to see better, they didn't want to miss her reaction. Tris smiled softly as she looked the ornament over before opening her hand flying to her mouth in surprise.
"Eric?" Tris asked softly looking back up at him.
"I know you said you wanted to get married one day, but I want to start planning that one day with you as soon as we can. I love you with every beat of my heart and the girls love you as well. I want to spend the rest of our lives together. Will you marry me?" Eric asked gently pulling the ring from the ornament and watched Tris who was wiping her tears with her fingers.
"Of course I'll marry you. A Thousand Yes's." Tris said offering her hand to Eric as he slipped it onto her hand before stealing a kiss from her lips. Tris curled as close as she was able to with her belly before Eric settled beside her on the couch, the girls cheering and dancing.
"I love you.
"I love you too." Tris whispered back.
