To my dearest Shanda.

Life takes many strange twists and turns but the strangest and best of them was when I got acquainted with you. You are the best, most loving, kind and inspiring friend and I wonder everyday what I ever did to deserve your wonderful company and friendship. You are like the mother I know I will never have. So yeah. Thank you for helping me in my hard times, for encouraging me, for showing me kindness and love and comfort. You and your family mean the world to me and for that I m externally grateful to God.

So ok happy birthday again Shanda, I wish you the best of the best in your life. I wish your life is all happy and safe and comfortable filled with joyful memories and loving people. I know life is hard and not a walk in the woods but I honestly wish your life is like a bed of roses, a walk in the woods.

So since we live kinda far away and can't meet in person so I wanted to pay my honors to you in a special way. By naming Eric and Tris' first daughter in my fanfiction Shanda Edith Coulter whose birthday will come on 29th June. I hope you know that I appreciate and look up to you and will continue to do so for the rest of my life. And I hope you like my tiny attempt of a birthday gift for your birthday.

Keep smiling and be brave. :)

Best wishes from Stella :3

Hey everyone! I hope you are all ok. I wrote this note to her when I wished her birthday but I wanted to make it public so that you all will know about the person who did so much for me. This will probably be the last chapter and will feature their family.

Happy reading :)

"Okay Tris just one more push and your baby will be with us." says the kind nurse.

Tris gulps. This was the most uncomfortable and painful she had ever been. And she hasn't even given birth yet. How is it possible that here she lies, exhausted after the hours in labor and now that the babies are coming she can't even push the first one out.

I miss my mommy. How did she do this for me, Tris thinks as she takes deep, calming breaths. Eric squeezes her hand slightly, reminding her that he is here for her.

She gives him a small smile and braces herself. Squeezing his hand (and probably fracturing it) she pushes again.

The heart monitor showing the fast beating heart, starts beeping at an alarming rate. Doctors and nurses hurry around Tris and Eric, making him more and more terrified. He doesn't want to lose her. He can't.

The doctors push him away from Tris and out of the delivery ward and the last thing he sees is the doctors performing CPR on his fiancee as the heart monitor lets out a long beep.

Eric paces the hallway outside the delivery room. He rakes his hands through his hair, frustrated. He knew what he saw meant. If the doctors failed, he would lose the woman he loves and he doesn't think he can love the babies if their birth was the reason behind her death.

"Calm down, Eric", Tobias says, his voice betraying his calm and collected demeanor. He clearly doesn't want to lose her too. Eric snorts sardonically.

"Calm down. CALM DOWN! My fiancee can die and you are telling me to calm down. Well, fuck you Four!" Eric yells. He starts pacing again like he has been for the last twenty minutes or so.

The door opens and Matthew steps out. Eric looks at his cheery attitude and it pisses him off further. He punches the wall right beside his head. Pain and pleasure course through his body as he takes in Matthew's panic-stricken expression, any hint of past smile gone from his face as he stares at the head leader of Dauntless.

"Will you please listen to me first. Than you can pulverize the hospital." Matthew says slowly, as if he is speaking to a baby.

Eric takes a few deep breaths to calm himself.

In and out.

In and out.

He opens his eyes and looks at the doctor. A faint smile graces Matthew's features, lighting his eyes up as he begins speaking. Excitement making it hard to make the announcement Eric so wishes to hear.

"She made it. The pressure had become too much that she had crashed. We revived her and she is sleeping peacefully. You can come in and see her and the girls." Matthew says as he watches the tension drain from Eric's muscles, his whole face lighting up at hearing the good news. Behind him, Tobias relaxes and a hint of a genuine smile spreads on his face.

They both are allowed to enter the room, but not before washing their hands and fussing about their cleanliness as told by the doctors.

Eric holds his baby girl in his arms, the other girl sleeping peacefully in her mother's arms after getting cleaned up.

Eric looks at his fiancee and daughters lovingly. I already love those two. Oh God I swear I will kill anyone who tries to hurt my girls, he thinks and his smile only gets bigger if possible.

Tris wears a matching grin as she strokes her daughter's hair, the small brown curls clearly visible.

''What about their names?" Eric's voice breaks the silence. Tris looks up and smiles softly at the man who loves her enough to tear down the city for her.

"Cat! Panda! Where are you two?" Eric says as he looks around the house in search of his daughters.

They decided to live in the Dauntless Compound since that's where they belong. Tris mostly used the car if something crucial needed her attention at the Erudite Compound. Their home was the biggest apartment in the Dauntless leadership wing.

Two master bedrooms on the first floor with the terrace and the most stunning view of Chicago, and two guest bedrooms along with one of the two big bathrooms was on the ground floor along with the living room and kitchen. Every room was spacious and well adorned.

Tris was awestruck and Eric knew this is the one in which he would make memories with his family.

Suddenly a small brunette comes running towards him, wrapping her small hands around his long legs. And then a girl with black hair rushes towards him as fast as her two year old legs would carry her.

He bends down and looks at his babies, smiling softly.

Shanda Edith Coulter was the older one out of the twins. She had chocolate brown hair like Andrew and Caleb with Eric's electric blue eyes. She was mostly quiet and was mistaken as innocent often. Shanda had her mother's adventurous nature. She would silently prank people and do anything forbidden by her elders around the Compound and no one dared to scold her for it.

Catherine Natalie Coulter was ten minutes younger than Shanda. She had black hair like Eric and bottle green eyes like Natalie Prior, a reason why she had the middle name Natalie. She was the more talkative one and mistaken for being responsible for Shanda's mischievous escapades.

Both of them were quite beautiful and innocent looking and add in the fact that they were Head leader Eric's daughters, they had Dauntless wrapped around their pinkies.

But looks can be deceiving and Eric had found out the hard way.

(Flashback)

Eric came home after a long meeting with Candor. He was tired and wanted nothing to do than take a relaxing bath (with Tris of course) and sleep like a baby.

Catherine approached her father and lead him to her bedroom where she began talking animatedly with him in her weird language. Eric didn't wanted to hurt his baby's feelings, so he sat and listened to her babbling, nodding along the way for effect. He had no idea what she was talking about.

He heard the main door squeak open and bang shut. He kept listening to Cat, ignoring his gut feeling that something was not right.

After about ten minutes he heard the door again and the unmistakable sound of Shanda's footsteps. He became aware. A few seconds later, the girls' bedroom door opened and Shanda peaked inside. Something in Catherine's attitude changes and she stopped talking.

Eric took it as his invitation to leave and calm his brain after the long meeting with his younger daughter. As soon as he was out, Shanda rushed in and locked the bedroom door. Eric shrugged and went to shower.

After a long relaxing shower and a satisfying sexual encounter with Tris, he knocked on the girls' door.

Nothing. No sound.

Worried, he kicked the door open only to see his babies looking drunk as hell. He looked at Shanda who was giggling and Catherine who looked like she might throw up.

He hurried her to the bathroom and the girl threw up for a long while.

Tris was furious with him for falling for his daughters' collaborated shenanigans.

He had found a small flask of rum hidden under their bed. That was the day he had learned his lesson about looks being deceiving.

Eric chuckles at the memory. He still doesn't know how those two especially Shanda gets away with her adventures.

"Hi daddy" comes Cat's cheery voice followed by a timid 'Daddy' from Panda.

He scoops them up and spins them around, the sound of their giggles filling their living room.

"Welcome back, my love." He hears her before he sees her. And when he does, his heart forgets how to beat.

Tris stands on the top of the stairs, wearing black heeled boots. His eyes move upwards and he notices that she is wearing very small black shorts along with a lacy blue halter top.

He puts the girls down and rushes up to kiss his fiancee. Tris threads her fingers through his shoulder length black hair as he devours her mouth.

A giggle and an exaggerated gagging sound pulls them apart.

Catherine is looking at them happily while Shanda is making gagging sounds. Eric smirks and dips Tris down, his lips finding hers in a passionate kiss despite his older daughter's annoyance.

Only the epilogue left now.

Thank you everyone for sticking with me for so long. You guys are the best.

If you have questions about any character let me know and I will clear your doubts in the next chapter.If you want to know more about Shanda and Isabelle be sure to ask me.

As I mentioned earlier, I named her Shanda (nicknamed Panda) cuz I love my friend Shanda.

Catherine (nicknamed Cat) is named after a Divergent fanfiction author who has inspired me. She is amazing and I wanted to do something nice for her as she shared my most favorite fanfiction and it makes me feel better whenever I feel down. She is awesome and someday I wish I can be as amazing and inspiring and kind and approachable like her.

Reviews and love is very much appreciated.

Until next time.

Be Brave!
