Tobias and I get back to Dauntless from Jeffrey Walsh's interrogation at Candor and our spur-of-the-moment Ferris wheel date shortly after 7 p.m. We immediately go to Zander and Stella's apartment to pick up the kids. I missed them too much to wait one minute longer. Tyler is happy to see us and eager to go home, and Tessa is sleeping contentedly in Avery's arms. I ask Stella how Tyler was, worried that he was upset to wake up from his nap and find that Tobias and I had left him but she confirms he was just like his old self when he woke up. She also tells me the baby was good but a little fussy, which shocks me. Tessa is a very content and happy baby, she never acts up at home. Stella states that she will be wanting to eat again soon so I take her from Avery, put her up against my shoulder, and rub her back. I don't know if it's comforting for her, but it is for me. I really missed her today. I thank Stella for taking good care of the kids then Tobias and I take them home. Stella was right about Tessa wanting to eat soon. We barely walk through the door when she starts sucking on her lips and rooting around.

"I'm going upstairs to feed her," I tell Tobias. I take her to her room, which is no longer a nursery-office hybrid. It's all hers. I sit down in the comfortable rocking chair, put the nursing pillow across my lap, and put her to my breast. "You sure are hungry, little one. Maybe you didn't get enough to eat today." I watch as she enthusiastically suckles, wondering why she would have been fussy today and getting a little jealous because someone else witnessed one of her firsts. Okay, maybe I'm losing my mind, crankiness really isn't a documentable first. "Did you miss your mommy today? Is that why you were grouchy with Stella? Your mommy missed you like crazy."

"Is she a good conversationalist?" Tobias asks from the doorway with a chuckle.

"She's kind of quiet but she's a very good listener," I say, meeting his smiling eyes with a roll of mine.

"I just wanted to tell you that I'm going to make some popcorn, and we're going to watch a movie with Tyler," he says.

"Isn't he supposed to be going to bed soon?" I ask. He hangs his head a little.

"Yeah," he says. "I guess I'm breaking the rules."

"I think it's okay for tonight," I say. "He'll more than likely fall asleep within a half an hour anyway."

"You're probably right," he says.

"Tessa and I will be down after she finishes, and I get her ready for bed," I say. He comes to me and gives us both a quick kiss, tells us he loves us, then turns and leaves me alone with our daughter. After she's done eating, I change her diaper and put her in a pink sleeper with black polka dots all over it and head downstairs. Instead of putting her in the bassinet, I decide to hold her. While I was still upstairs, Tyler picked out the movie Cars, of course, and Tobias made some hot buttered popcorn. I sit down on the couch and put my feet up on the ottoman. Tyler sits next to me, excitedly bouncing up and down. Tobias brings us each a bowl of popcorn and some ice water, puts in the movie, and we sit side-by-side as a family and watch Tyler's favorite movie for what seems like the millionth time. I thought for sure he would fall asleep quickly but he's still wide awake, staring at the television screen while I'm feeding Tessa again. When the credits roll, I tell Tyler that it's time for bed, and he looks at me and starts pouting.

"Don't look at Tris that way, young man," Tobias sternly says. "We already let you stay up past your bedtime." He pouts even more hearing the scolding tone his brother is using.

"No wanna go to bed," he says, his bottom lip trembling slightly. "Wanna stay wit you."

"You know we have a special day planned tomorrow, right?" I ask. He nods his head at me. "Don't you think you should get a good night's sleep?" He looks at me with such a sad little face and something dawns on me. He's just as worried about losing us as we are about losing him. "I'll make you a deal, Tyler. How about I lie down with you until you fall asleep. Does that sound okay?" This gains me a smile, and he nods again. I hand Tessa to Tobias, and he puts her in the bassinet and proceeds to clean up the kitchen and living room from our spontaneous movie night. I pick Tyler up and carry him to his room where he puts on his favorite racecar pajamas and climbs into bed. I tell him I'll be right back, go to my bedroom and quickly change into a pair of sleep pants and a tank top then lie down beside him on his toddler bed, which isn't big enough for me to fully stretch out.

"Love you, Twis," he says around a huge yawn.

"I love you, too," I say as I stroke his hair. Within minutes he's fast asleep. I don't want to move to soon and chance waking him up so I rest my eyes while I hold him tight. When I drag my tired eyes open I look around confused. Although it takes me a moment, I soon realize that I must have fallen asleep in Tyler's bed. It's got to be close to time to feed Tessa again so I carefully get out of bed not waking Tyler and go into my bedroom to check on her only to find it deserted. The alarm clock's green glowing numbers catch me off guard when they let me know that it's nearly 7 a.m. That's impossible. I haven't fed Tessa once during the night. When I concentrate on how my chest feels, I realize how true that statement is. I go down the hallway to her room and find Tobias rocking her, feeding her a bottle. He looks very tired.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" I quietly ask as I walk into the room.

"I came to get you around midnight but you were sound asleep and looked so peaceful with your arms wrapped around Tyler. I couldn't bear the thought of waking you up," he says. "You needed a good night's sleep, not that Tyler's little bed could be all that comfortable. You were exhausted." I put my hand on her head and watch as he feeds her and my heavy breasts start to throb.

"I'll be downstairs pumping," I say.

"Yeah, you're kind of huge," he says.

"Missing a number of feedings in a 24 hour period of time will do that," I say. I kiss Tessa's little head and then give Tobias a soft but quick kiss on the mouth. I make my way downstairs and take care of the uncomfortable sensation in my chest. Just as I'm putting the machine away, Tyler comes down the stairs. When he sees me, he runs full speed ahead at me.

"We go to the pawk today?" he asks when I'm holding him in my arms.

"We sure are," I say. "First we all need to take baths and eat breakfast. Then we're going to go to the commissary and get a picnic lunch that you are going to pick out." He claps his little hands together then wraps his arms around my neck and holds me close.

"What next?" he asks.

"Then we'll go to the park," I say. "Just you, me, Four, and Tessa."

"Tess have to go?" he asks.

"Yes, your sister has to come with us," I say trying to hide a laugh. I know he loves her but he doesn't like that she gets some of the attention that used to be all his.

"Okay," he says. "What else?"

"We will spend the day at the park playing, we'll eat lunch, and if everyone is good, then maybe we'll go have ice cream at the parlor in the city where Stella and Zander have taken you a couple of times," I say with a huge smile. "Does that sound like a fun day?"

"Yeah," he says. I take him upstairs and watch as he takes his bath. I feel better than I have in weeks since I was able to sleep all night. I was slightly irritated at first but this is one of the nicest things Tobias has done for me in a while. I need to remember to properly thank him. When Tyler is done with his bath I take him out of the tub and wrap him in a big fluffy towel then dry him off. I dress him in a comfortable outfit so that he can play unrestrictedly.

"Why don't you play in here while I take a shower?" I say. He agrees and I go into the bathroom. I take a quick shower, pull my hair back into a ponytail, and then head into my bedroom to get dressed in something comfortable with easy access to feed Tessa. Just as I'm slipping into a button-down sweater, Tobias comes into the room carrying our daughter. He puts her in the bassinet and just stares at her. I walk over to two of my favorite people in the world, and I suddenly wished I could see her through his eyes. I put my hand on Tobias' back and gently caress it up and down. He glances my way as I raise my eyes to his. I'm about to say something when his lips touch mine and my thought process goes out the window. We wrap our arms around each other, and he picks me straight up so he doesn't have to bend over anymore. I wrap my legs around his waist, never once letting my lips leave his. When he moves his mouth to my sensitive neck, I moan. He pulls back and looks into my eyes.

"Good morning," he says.

"Good morning," I say in return. "Thank you for letting me sleep last night. You don't know how much that means to me. I'm not exactly sure how I'll ever be able to properly thank you."

"That kiss was thanks enough," he says with a slight growl, which makes me giggle.

"As much as I would like to lock myself in this room with you all day, we have places to go," I say. "You better go take a shower. I'm going to take the kids downstairs and start breakfast." Before I let him go, I capture his mouth for another long, slow kiss. I know it's time to part when I hear a guttural moan escape his throat. I pull back and see tell-tale signs of arousal in his eyes. I look at him apologetically, and he sets me back on my feet. "I love you, Tobias."

"I love you, too." he roughly says. While he's taking a cold shower, I imagine, I pack the kid's diaper bag with every necessity I can think of. First I take Tessa downstairs and gently place her in the bassinet, which I moved out of the sun, and then I follow Tyler as he walks down the stairs dragging the diaper bag behind him. It's so cute when he wants to help.

"Can you think of anything else that we need to take with us, Tyler?" I ask as I'm making bacon and eggs. He furrows his eyebrows as he looks up at me.

"Fo," he says with perfect sincerity and I can't help but laugh.

"We won't forget Four," I say.

"Is someone trying to leave without me?" Tobias asks as he comes into the living room.

"We would never leave you," I say with another chuckle, giving him a kiss when he reaches me.

"I would hope not," he says. "How would I ever survive?" I know he's kidding with us right now but there is a touch of pain in his eyes thinking about the possibility of not having Tyler around anymore. Tobias picks him up and puts him in his booster seat at the island and helps me in the kitchen with breakfast. We eat quickly, all of us excited for our day together.

"I think we have everything unless you can think of anything else," I say, rifling through the diaper bag one last time to make sure I haven't forgotten anything.

"No, I think we're good," Tobias says as he tosses Tyler up over his shoulder, making him giggle wildly. Then he hoists the heavy diaper bag up over his other shoulder. I pick up Tessa, lovingly cradling her close to my body, and we make our way down the path to the commissary so Tyler can pick out a picnic lunch for all of us. While they are busy doing that, I excuse myself and sneak over to the electronics store and buy a new camera from Kirsten. She talked me into a standalone camera when I was showing her all the pictures I have taken of Tessa and Tyler on my phone when she first came to visit me shortly after we brought the baby home. Now seems as good a time as any to buy one.

"This is the one I was telling you about," she says holding up a compact shiny black camera. Of course it's Dauntless colored. "It has a great zoom on it and takes wonderful pictures. We sell a lot of them, and I've never heard a single complaint."

"I'll take it," I say. "Does it have everything I need to use it in the box?"

"The camera, battery, charger, and memory card are all included," she says. "You might want to buy a case for it and at the very least another battery." She talks me into those extras along with another memory card so I'll never run out of room for pictures. She is really good at her job. I can see why she likes it. I pay for the items while she's fussing over Tessa then meet Tobias and Tyler right outside the commissary.

We walk as quickly as we can to our car in the garage, being stopped several times so different members can get a good look at Tessa. Many comment on how much she looks like Tobias then give us an odd look. I feel like screaming, "No, he didn't cheat on me," at the top of my lungs but I take deep, cleansing breaths instead and just smile and agree with them. After finally getting both kids fastened into the car, we drive to the park. Tyler is so excited about our day that he's literally bouncing up and down in his seat. Tobias drives us directly to the spot where we've had picnics and played in the past. While I set us up under a giant shade tree, Tyler and Tobias head toward the playground equipment. We brought a compact travel sleeper with a sunshade on it to keep Tessa out of the elements but it's such a beautiful day, I don't worry about her getting cold. I lounge against the tree on the blanket I spread out watching Tyler and Tobias run around, swing, slide, and play for about an hour. After I feed Tessa, I carry her over to Tobias. He sits on the little bench holding her while Tyler makes me push him on the swing for about half-an-hour.

"Who's getting hungry?" Tobias asks sensing I need a break.

Tyler pokes his hand up in the air as far as he can, and I say, "I could eat." We all go back to the fuzzy blanket. Tobias puts Tessa into the sleeper, and I unpack our picnic lunch from the car's built-in cooler, which consists of peanut butter and grape jelly sandwiches, cottage cheese, bananas, potato chips, sliced apples with caramel dip, and a slice of chocolate Dauntless cake for each of us. I can't help but laugh at the mishmash of foods before us. You can tell it was picked out by a two year old. We eat slowly enjoying what could be one of our last meals together.

"Play some moe?" Tyler asks when he finishes his lunch.

"Of course you can," I say. "Just stay where we can see you. When you get tired, please come back and lie down and rest."

"Otay, Twis," he says. He kisses my cheek then runs toward the slide.

"I could use some of his energy," Tobias says with a yawn.

"Why don't you lie down," I say. "If you fall asleep, I'll wake you when it's time to go."

"I don't want to miss a single minute with him today," he says.

"I understand," I say. "Neither do I." After I clean everything up I sit down with my back up against the tree again. I coax Tobias into lying down with his head in my lap. I play with his curls as I watch Tyler sliding over and over again. After he's gone down the slide at least 50 times, I see a tall obviously factionless man approaching him. I shake Tobias awake and point toward Tyler. "There's a factionless man getting ready to talk to Tyler." He immediately gets up and goes to him. I see him talking but can't hear what he's saying so I just watch as the familiar-looking man interacts with Tobias ... and Tyler, which surprises me. Tyler shies away from most people, and he never talks to strangers. Tobias picks up Tyler and carries him toward me followed by the man. I look him up and down and although I didn't recognize him at first the black eye patch is a dead giveaway. It's Edward.

"Tyler knows Edward," Tobias says sitting Tyler on his feet so he can sit down next to me. He yawns and lays his head in my lap where his brother's was just minutes ago and closes his eyes.

"How do you know Tyler?" I ask.

"Evelyn helped me when I became factionless," he says. "If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here right now. How is it you know Tyler and Evelyn?" I look up at Tobias and see him battling with himself.

"Tyler is my brother," he says. "He was staying with us while Evelyn was in the hospital."

"You're Tobias Eaton?" he asks, shocked. I always thought of Edward as quite sharp but maybe he isn't as smart as I thought he was. I wonder why he thought we had Tyler.

"Yeah," he says.

"I'm surprised you weren't at Evelyn's memorial service," he says. "It was a touching ceremony. Not a dry eye in the place."

"I guess I wasn't ready to say goodbye to her yet," he says, once again sounding like Four, guarding himself.

"What's going to happen to Tyler?" he asks. I guess it's an appropriate question but it seems like it's a bit prying.

"We'll find that out tomorrow," is all I say. "Where is Myra?" He lowers his head and his expression becomes grim.

"We aren't together anymore," he slowly says. "After initiation was over and Drew and Molly were made factionless, I ... lost my temper I guess you would say. She left me after I nearly killed Drew."

"I take it you haven't seen Peter hiding out in the factionless sector then," Tobias says. Edward's expression becomes terrifying.

"No," he sternly says. "I learned a lot from your mother including forgiveness but if I were to lay my remaining eye on Peter Hayes, he would be a dead man. I owe him that much. My life was supposed to be ... different than this." His anger immediately takes me back to the dorms in the middle of the night when I found him with a butter knife sticking out of his eye. I think he is entitled to his anger with Peter.

"What is he wanted for?" he asks.

"Attempted rape," I say not letting on that I was another victim of his.

"I knew he was a son of a bitch but I didn't know he had that in him," he says and I can't help myself, a scoff escapes my lips before I can stop it.

"He did some terrible things to other initiates after ... you," I say. "Unfortunately, we had the wrong kind of leaders at the time and nothing was done to him."

"Who is your leader now?" he asks sounding a little wistful.

"Me, Tris, Will, Tori Wu, and Harrison Cosgrove," Tobias says. "Even though I am technically the head leader, I like to think of us as equals." He's never treated me any differently than his equal.

"I take it you two are a couple," he says looking at our rings and matching tattoos on our left hands.

"We're married," I say. "We started dating right after initiation last year."

"Congratulations," he says. "I guess it makes sense that two Abnegation who joined Dauntless would find each other. Is that a baby?"

"She's adopted," I say.

"Ah, Evelyn's baby," he says leaning down to get a good look at her. "She looks just like Tyler. What's her name?"

"Tessa," I say.

"Beautiful name," he says then adds under his breath so low that I'm not entirely sure it's what he says, "Beautiful family."

"I'll ask Drew and Molly if there old friend has been in contact with either of them," he says.

"You're friends with them?" I slowly ask, shocked.

"I wouldn't call them ... friends but they came and made amends," he says. "It wasn't easy but I forgave them with Evelyn's guidance. Even though I only knew her a very short amount of time, she was like a second mother to me. I was so sorry to hear of her passing."

"It sounds like you knew my mother very well," Tobias says.

"I did," he says.

"Can I ask you what some of her favorite places in the city were," he asks. "At some point in time I have to scatter her ashes, and I'm having a hard time figuring out an appropriate spot. I was going to ask her ... boyfriend but we aren't exactly on speaking terms at the moment."

"I didn't care for him either," Edward says. "He was a bit slimy if you ask me. Let's see. She loved the train yard, took Tyler there nearly every day. She would sometimes meet her boyfriend at the Navy Pier ... carousel, I think. Other than that, she really didn't stray much from the factionless sector."

"Thanks for the information," Tobias says getting a far off look in his eye.

"Well it was nice running into you two," he says. "If I hear anything about Peter, I'll get word to you, Four. You two have a nice family." He abruptly turns on his heels and briskly walks away.

"Are you okay?" I ask. He still has a far off daze to his eyes.

"Evelyn took me to the Navy Pier carousel from time to time when I was little," he says. "I'd totally blocked those memories out until he just said that. She would break the rules and let me play." He straightens up. "I saw her with Ethan Black." He looks into my eyes. "She took me with her to meet her lover. Nothing I learn about her ceases to amaze me."

"She let you be a real kid for a little bit," I say. "That has to count for something." My loving parents never let me play that I can remember.

"You're right," he says with an exasperated sigh. Tessa starts whining loudly, and I realize that I haven't checked on her for a little while. I take her out of the sleeper, change her diaper, and then latch her onto a nipple. Tobias lifts the blanket I have covering me – I may be more comfortable with breastfeeding but I don't need strangers watching me – and stares for a while.

"I love watching you nurse our daughter," he says, "and it isn't for the reason why you think. Although I love your girls for so many reasons, it still amazes me that you can feed her. I like witnessing the miracle firsthand." He replaces the blanket and puts his lips against mine. I kiss him tenderly, making sure not to let the passion build. I literally have two children in my lap.

"I love you," I say. "Girls?"

"Just trying it out," he says with a smirk. "Would you prefer boobs? Melons? Tata's?" By the time he's done, he's laughing loudly. I try to shush him but he wakes Tyler up anyway. "Sorry." He may say it but he has the devil in his eyes telling me he might not mean it.

"When did someone replace my strong, intelligent, self-assured, mature husband with a horny teenage boy?" I ask rolling my eyes at him. I can tell Tessa is done so I hand her to her father and straighten my clothes up.

"I think Mommy is just jealous because she knows that I love you so much," he says, talking baby talk to her. "She thought I would only love her but then you came along."

I put my mouth against his ear and feel him shudder then say, "You're nuts!" then kiss his cheek with a loud smack.

"Ice cweam?" Tyler asks rubbing his eyes, looking at us like we have both quite possibly lost our minds.

"Are you ready to go to the ice cream parlor?" I ask, tickling him a little. He laughs and laughs. I love hearing him so happy. He hasn't had one bad minute today.

"Yeah, 'nilla," he says.

"Well it looks like we're done here at the park," Tobias says. We promptly gather up our belongings, pack the car, and head toward the center of the city where Zander told us there is a nice little ice cream parlor that makes homemade waffle cones fresh daily. The minute we pull up in front of the very normal looking building, Tyler starts clapping his hands indicating to me that we must be at the right place. We get the kids out of the car and walk into the very small shop and are transported back in time. The floors are made of what looks like black and white marble 12 x 12 inch tiles in a checkerboard pattern. On one side of the room runs a very long Carrera marble bar lined with chrome bar stools with crimson-colored vinyl seats. On the other side of the room, tucked under the windows are wooden booths with padded vinyl seat pads in the same crimson color. There is a white-painted tin ceiling and exposed ductwork running the length of the room. Behind the bar is an ornate soda fountain made of oak that's been stained a very dark color with shelves lined with fancy stemware and dishes. We walk up to the bar and order two single scoops of vanilla in a waffle cone bowl and a double scoop of chocolate in a dish. When we receive our order we sit in one of the booths to eat it. I savor every delicious bite of the extraordinary creamy treat, Tobias seems to rush through his, and I'm not sure how much of it actually ends up in Tyler's mouth. It seems like he's wearing most of it.

"What do you guys say to going home and having another movie night," Tobias says. "We can even make some pepperoni pizza in between films." He looks down at Tyler, and he's bobbing his head up and down excitedly. We finish our treat, and I make a mental note to come back here in the future. This was the best ice cream I've ever tasted. It would go very well with Dauntless cake.

The rest of our night is uneventful. Tyler picks out Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. instead of Cars for once for us to watch. After the first movie, Tobias makes a homemade thin crust pepperoni pizza, Tyler's favorite, and I take him upstairs to give him a bath and get him ready for bed so I won't have to do it at the end of the night. After the second movie, Tobias carries him upstairs and tucks him into bed, we both kiss him good night and retreat to our bedroom.

"Today was a wonderful day," I say as I lie Tessa in the bassinet. "I wish every day could be like this one." Tobias comes to stand next to me. He glides his hand down my face and stares into my eyes.

"I want to say something profound, meaningful," he says.

"Don't," I say, shaking my head and interrupting his speech. "I think's it best not to say anything about tomorrow. Whatever happens, we'll deal with it, right? You and me ... always." He nods his head and sighs. He turn out the lights and crawl into bed. We wrap ourselves up in each other's arms, and I lay my head on his chest. "Just hold me, Tobias."
