{Author's Note}
Alice in Wonderland was great! One more show tomorrow and one on Sunday! Thank you for the good luck wishes! * This Chapter is not proofed * My sincere apologies.
Tris POV
Carol shuts the door and leaves the room. I sigh and flop on the bed, my shirt exposing the skin under my belly button.
I sit up and Tobias comes over sitting next to me. He wraps his arms around me and pulls me close. His body is warm, flushed with anger.
"Tobias I-" I'm cut off with a kiss. I hear a moan escape my throat. He smiles against my lips and pulls away.
"It's not like they can do anything about it now. What's done is done and whether he likes it or not you are his daughter in law." He says with a smile.
I slide onto his lap and wrap my legs around him. I forget that I'm in Carol's baggy shirt and the black underwear the Christina bought me.
He wraps his arms around me and rests his head on my neck. "Mrs. Eaton." He whispers in my hair. His breath is hot on my neck.
I feel my heart melt and a stupid grin form on my face. "Hubbie." I mumble.
He laughs. "Never call me that." He says with a smile.
I give him a slow kiss on the lips.
"I missed you so much!" Someone yells.
Tobias pulls away and looks at the door. I try to kiss him again. "Tris…" He groans.
I release my legs from around him and walk to the door.
It swings open and Carol and Chris are hugging. Chris' eyes flick to me and I slam the door.
I stand stiff and bite my lip. Chris is here? For Carol?
"Who is it?" Tobias asks in a low voice.
"Chris." I mutter and shake my head. I sit on his lap and fall into his arms.
"You want to find out our birthdays today?" He asks.
I nod. It's so odd not knowing the day you where born. Like every year its just another day and you never know when you're a year older.
I know that my birthday came before choosing day. For me, the choosing day was held on June 3rd. So I know my birthday is at least a few months before that.
Lips brush my temple. "Is there anyway you'd be able to get out of that meeting?" He asks wrapping his arms around me.
I nod. "I'm pretty sure I got out of it yesterday."
"Yesterday…" He mumbles and kisses my neck.
I feel my body go limp as he leaves trails of fire along my skin. He pulls back. "Why don't we go find Tris Eaton's birthday?"
I smile and slide off his lap. "Indeed. Let us do so." I say.
XXX(PAGE BREAK)XXX
I drum my fingers along the desk. I've never had much patience for the Erudite.
"Wouldn't you think there'd be some complex system for finding these things?" He asks.
I scrunch my face. "Yes. I don't know what's taking them so long."
He rolls his eyes. "Tell me about it."
I'm glad he doesn't jump to the defense of the Erudite. It would have made me annoyed.
The lady walks back out and hands Tobias a folder. He smiles. "Thank you."
"All your documents are in there. Grades K-10, attendance records, family history, the whole ordeal." She says with a smile.
Tobias takes the folder. "Thanks."
"Where's mine?" I ask impatiently.
She turns to face me. "I'm sorry, I couldn't find anything for Tris Prior."
"Try Beatrice." I say.
She just nods and scurries in the back room.
Tobias holds the folder in his hands and stares at it intensely.
"Are you going to open it?" I ask.
He shakes his head. "I'll wait for you, Beatrice."
I grin and start to drum my fingers against the desk.
"Would it be under Eaton? Beatrice Eaton?" I ask.
He shrugs. "Maybe. I doubt they do the records that fast."
I hear a loud, "A ha!" And the lady immerges with a folder in her hands. "It was just about to be changed into Eaton. Let me go make a copy of it and I'll be right back." She says.
"Thank you." Tobias says for me.
I look at the ceiling then at the floor then at the folder in his hands. "Open it if you want to." I say.
He shakes his head. "We'll open them at the same time."
I roll my eyes. I think I want to know his birthday more than he does.
I hear a random machine make annoying beeping sounds. "Hurry up…." I mumble and dig my fists in my pockets.
Tobias shrugs and grabs my hand. He smiles at the ring on my finger. "We'll have to get you another one."
I smile. "Don't spoil me." I say.
He looks me in eyes. "If I could give you the world, I'd find a way to do it." His voice is calm and steady and extremely sexy.
I inch my way closer to him attempting to be flirty. "I don't want the world, just something better." I say.
He winks at me. "Oh really? What might that be?"
I stand on my tiptoes, the way I always do before we kiss. "You."
"Here it is!" The woman says waving a folder in her hands.
I sigh and back away from Tobias. "Thank you, very much." I say accepting the folder.
"Anytime." She says.
We walk out of the Erudite compound without saying a word.
"The train should be here in ten minutes." Tobias says looking at his watching.
I look him in the eyes. "Are you ready?" I ask.
He nods and smiles. "I was born ready."
We both dig into our folders, mine is still warm at the touch from just being copied.
"Beatrice Prior, born to Andrew and Natalie Prior on May third." I say.
May third. I try to think of anything that happened that was important that day.
Then I remember. I hold back my giggles and can't wait to tell the irony to Christina.
A smile stretches across Tobias' face. "Tobias Eaton, born to Marcus and Evelyn Eaton on February second."
I smile. "Two plus two is four." I say with a smile.
"Who loves with all his heart," He says sweeping me under his arms, "Six."
I smile. The last time he said that, we were jumping off the net before the initiates came.
The train whistles in the distance. "We can look at all our grades and stuff later." I mumble wrapping my arms around him.
He smiles. "May third might just be the best day in the world. You saved me the day you came alive." He says.
I smile and press my face to his chest. "I love you."
He presses his lips to my temple. "I love you more."
I look up into his eyes. "I doubt it."
And with that we kiss while waiting for the train, now knowing the days of our birth, both feeling a little more complete.

Okay… So birthdays! Tris' birthday is the day Divergent was published incase you didn't know (: and Tobias' birthday is 2/2 so 2+2 is 4 (Incase you didn't get that…..)
I AM ALMOST AT 1000 REVIEWS AND CAN I SAY HOLY FLIPPING BANANAS THAT'S A LOT. LIKE A LOT A LOT. When I ready them they make me so happy. My internet friends that I don't really know but I kind of do know you! Anyways I just wanted to say thank you. Again, thank you. I can't say thank you enough to each and every one of you for reviewing. I cannot tell you how fantastic it makes me feel. The ones that say "Have you written a book?" "You're the next Veronica Roth." "I'll be at your first book signing." They literally bring tears to my eyes. (And I don't cry easily.) So thank you. You make me happy (:
Xoxo!
