Tobias POV

Chapter 21

"Merry Christmas, Toby," Tris whispers as my eyes flutter open.

I soak in the sight of Tris snuggled against my chest. I glance at the Alarm clock and see that it's only 8:27 am.

"Merry Christmas Tris," I mumbled, pressing a kiss to her forehead.

Deciding to get dressed, Tris and I get out of bed as I dress for the day and Tris begins making us both a quick breakfast.

Later tonight the gang will be coming over for present swapping, but they're all spending the day with their families. Seeing as I have no family- any respectable family, Tris invited me to spend the day with her, Tori, Caleb, Susan and Collette.

"Eat up," Tris mumbles, passing me a plate with three pancakes stacked on top of each other with a drizzle of maple syrup.

I thank her and dig in as she does with her own plate. We finish in less than 10 minutes and then begin the preparations for Christmas lunch.

Tris roasts the vegetables as I prepare one of the main dishes and wrap all the presents we had both bought for Tris' family earlier this week and place them under the Christmas tree.

"Aunty Twis, Aunty Twis," Collette, the three-year-old chants as she walks into the house, her parents and 'Aunt Tori' trailing behind her.

"C," Tris exclaims as she picks up Colette giving her a hug. Colette smiles as she sees the presents under the tree that are addressed to her.

"Good to see you again, Four," Caleb greets as he pats me on the back and begins formally introducing his wife to me, seeing as the first time I met her, it was just briefly.

After small conversations, we make our way to the dining table and dig into the feast Tris and I had prepared earlier. We eat heartily enjoying the company of one another. I can't help but wonder what Christmas would look like a few years later. Would there be a mini Tris or me playing with Colette?

"These are for you C," Tris states as she passes several presents from under the Christmas tree. Tris and I had agreed on getting Colette the most presents, seven in total, while Caleb, Susan and Tori received two each.

Colette eagerly opened her presents, her eyes lit up as she uncovered everything from the educational toys we bought her, to the lego bricks she wanted. Tris and I received big hugs from her.

Collectively, Tris and I received three gifts each. We opened them together. From Caleb and Susan, I had received two new hoddies while Tris received a face mask set. Colette had chosen the next gifts for the two of us, giving Tris and I each our own basket filled with chocolates, lollies and crisps.

Tori was the last to gift us. She smiled brightly as she hands us each a present. Tris goes first as she unwraps the wrapping paper, the light reflects on whatever's inside as I see a glimpse of metal before Tris jumps up and hugs Tori.

"It's my mother's bracelet," Tris explains, as she slips the silver chain with a few diamonds on her wrist. She smiles with unshed tears in her eyes.

I unwrap my gift. A gasp escapes my mouth as I stare at the watch that Tori had gifted. I realise Tris is now in tears, but happy ones. Tori explains the watch belonged to Andrew, Tris' father.

I pull Tris close to me as she plants a small kiss on my lips as Colette lifts an eyebrow, with a curious expression on her face.

"Aunty Twis?" She inquires, "If Fouw your husbawnd," She asks, attempting to say 'husband'. This causes Tris to laugh as she replies.

"Not yet, C, not yet."

A wide smile makes its way onto Colette's face, "He's very beautiful like you."

Tris gives Colette her own smile as she runs her hand through my hair, "You're right, he is."


"Uh, Tris, we may or may not have made a mess in your kitchen and used up a bag of flour," Will mumbles as he exits the kitchen with flour marks all over his shirt.

Tris rolls her eyes in a playful way as she gets up from her spot next to mine and makes her way towards the kitchen.

Will takes her seat as his eyes seem to be filled with fear, "Never volunteer to make cookies with Christina," Is all he says as I nod.

The doorbell rings as I get up and open the door, Zeke, Shauna, Uriah and Marlene all enter when I open the door.

Ten minutes later the kitchen had been cleaned up, cookies had been placed in the oven as the aroma of them filled the lounge. We all sit in the living room, casually chatting as music from the speakers quietly play.

Zeke suggests that we all play truth and dare. We all agree and sit in a circle as Zeke starts, "Marlene, truth or dare,"

"Dare," She answers.

Zeke smirks, "Do a shot of vinegar." Marlene's face shows disgust, but she grabs a shot glass and tosses back the vinegar anyway.

"Will, truth or dare," Marlene asks after shes rinsed her mouth to rid the taste of vinegar in her mouth.

"Truth after that," Marlene asks him whats the most childish thing he does, but before he can answer for himself, Christina does.

"He names his books, the book on our bedside table at home is called Amelia."

Will's cheeks go red as he nods, confessing. We continue for a few more rounds and then decide we might as well give our presents to one another. Each of us bought a present for everyone.

We go around in a circular opening them. After half an hour, we have almost opened all our presents. I received a few gag gifts from Zeke and Uriah, a set of ties from Shauna, some gift cards from Christina and Marlene, the new book from one of my series frow Will and a mini iPad from Tris.

I watch Tris' confused expression appear on her beautiful face when she opens my gift. She pulls out a puppy chew toy. She turns to question me, but before she can question, I walk into the spare room to get her real present.

In my hand, I hold a small golden retriever puppy in one hand. I pass it to Tris as I hear gasps. Tris looks at the puppies in awe as she pats it gently.

"What's its name?" She questions

"His name is Charlie, but you can change it if you want," I tell her softly.

She shakes as she speaks, "Charlie is great."

"Zeke, you have a lot to learn from Four," Shauna mumbles, causing us all to laugh.


We all ended up setting up four double mattresses in Tris' second livingroom or as she calls it, the basement. We sit on the sofa while the others sit on the fully carpeted floor.

Charlie is on the dog bed I bought him beside Tris and I. Tris pulls my head onto her lap. A small sigh comes out of my mouth as her hands massage my scalp gently. I could stay this way for the rest of my life.

Since it's only 9 pm we decided to put on a movie. We voted on what genre and action won.

We casually snack on some crisps, and chocolates as well as the cookies Christina made earlier with Will.

The sound of the doorbell alerts us that someones at the door. Marlene gets up, telling us she'll get it. We thank her as we continue watching the film.

I hear the door open and muffled talking, but what surprises me most is the sound of someone running down the stairs, and it isn't Marlene. Charlie wakes up as he moves into Tris' lap, he seems quite comfortable with her.

The others must have heard someone coming beside Marlene coming downstairs as well, as we all look at one another. A blonde woman with green eyes that I'm sure I've seen before comes down the stairs.

Her hair is messy and looks as if it hasn't been done in days, her skin is pale, almost sickly pale and the expression on her face is a mix of desperation, distress and fear.

"Cara?" Will questions

Suddenly I know where I've seen those eyes before, they look just like Will's, she must be his sister.

"There's something happening in Erudite."

A/N I hope you liked this chapter. Sorry for not uploading, I've had assessment and test. The country I live in is on lockdown for 4 weeks, so I will be writing more.

This fanfiction only has around 5-9 more chapters until it finishes, I will still be writing. I still have quite a long way until my fanfiction Breaking Point ends, and I have new ideas for a fanfiction.

I'll probably start writing a new Fanfic when I'm close to finishing Breaking point. Sorry for the late update. Please review and tell me what you want more of and if you have any ideas for new Fanfics that I can write, until next time,
