First off, I wanna say I'm so, so sorry for the delay. I was finally able to finish the previous chapter after being sick since Christmas. I just wasn't in the mood to write. I hope to have this chapter done within the next few days. The story is now at a point where I'm considering winding it down but its not over yet.

Tris POV

At first I think I dreamt that Tobias proposed to me last night but thankfully I'm wrong. It wasn't a dream, it was reality. I couldn't imagine saying yes to anybody else. Tobias is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. He's the only person I've ever truly loved and will love. I feel him stir beside me.

"Good morning, fiancée." He says in a husky voice.

"Good morning future husband. I love you."

"I love you too, very much. Thank you for saying yes."

"I wouldn't have said yes to anybody else."

He smiles. "So I know it's just been over 12 hours since you said yes but any idea on a date?"

"Hmm. Well I want to marry you sooner rather than later. I don't see a reason why our studies should interfere. I don't wanna wait until one or both of us graduates."

"I agree. I don't wanna wait that long either. We could get married this summer or if you want to get married closer to the holidays we could try and figure something out."

"I think I'd wanna have our wedding over the summer that way we don't have to postpone our honeymoon for too long. We could go on our honeymoon anytime within a month after we get married."

"That sounds like a good idea. How about we have the wedding in June and our honeymoon at the end of June or beginning of July."

"That's perfect. That seems like enough time to plan the perfect wedding and look into destinations and flights for our honeymoon. Would you be okay with flying?"

"Of course. I'm sure I'll be fine. Besides, it'll be worth it if I'm going to spend an amazing honeymoon with my wife."

I smile wide. "Wife. I like the sound of that. Speaking of which, are you gonna keep Eaton as your last name?"

"I've been thinking about that a lot lately especially ever since my mom came back into my life and I've decided that I will keep it. I want to honor Marcus. When we have children one day I want them to be proud of their name and of me. I'll eventually tell them about Marcus and about Evelyn or if she wants to tell them her side of the story herself, I'll let her."

"They will be very proud of you. They won't have a better father than you."

"Thank you, my love. So do you wanna straight up tell our friends our big news today or wait and see if they notice your ring?"

"I don't know. I have a feeling Christina will notice before we say anything. I'll be surprised if she doesn't. Did you tell Zeke already that you were planning this?"

"No, I didn't. Only Caleb and my mom knew."

"You told Caleb? I ask, surprised.

"Of course! He's your brother and I asked for his blessing."

I get teary eyed as I think of my parents and what it would've been like if Tobias had asked my dad for permission.

"Thank you, Tobias. For doing that even though my dad isn't here."

"That's exactly what Caleb said, but there's no need to thank me, Tris. I know you wish things would be different but I still wanted to do that even if it was your brother and not your dad."

I smile. "Well, I guess since you didn't tell Zeke, I think we should just tell them."

"Okay. Tris, I was thinking, and of course you'll have the final decision, but what if we asked Amar to walk you down the aisle? Especially since I'm gonna ask Caleb to be a groomsman."

"Amar?"

"Yeah. You know how much he cares about me and I know that he cares about you too. Or we could ask Jack since he's done a lot for you too since we've been together."

"Hmmm...how about both?" I smile.

He smiles back. "That sounds perfect."

"We should get ready. We have to leave soon."

"Okay."

PAGE BREAK

We walk up to the front door of Zeke and Shauna's house, our arms full with gifts and some food and drinks. Everyone offered to bring something for our potluck while Zeke and Shauna are making the main dish.

We greet all of our friends as soon as we walk in. I place the food and drinks in the kitchen while Tobias places the gifts under their tree. So far I've been keeping my left hand out of view. No one has seemed to notice.

"So what did you and Four do yesterday?" Christina asks me.

"Not much," I say, not giving too much away. "Just opened gifts, watched movies, and had a quiet dinner. What about you and Will?"

"Pretty much the same. What did Four get you?"

"He got me this necklace and these earrings and other things like a book I wanted and a couple dvds. What did Will get you?"

"He got me this bracelet and a gift card to get my nails done and a gift card to my favorite restaurant."

"That's great! We are lucky, aren't we?"

Christina nods in agreement.

When it's time to eat Shauna calls us all to the table. We will open gifts after we eat.

"Thanks everyone for coming." Shauna says. "Merry Christmas and hope you all enjoy this meal."

Tobias looks at me and I nod. He stands up. "Before we dig into all of this amazing food, I'd like to make a toast. First off I wanna say that I'm thankful for every single person in this room. You all are more than just my friends, you're my family. Of course, I also want to thank Tris for loving me and making my life better. I'm especially happy to announce that Tris made me the happiest man on earth last night because she has agreed to be my wife."

Everyone cheers with surprised looks on their faces. Zeke stands and raises his glass.

"I'd like to say cheers to the newly engaged couple! To my brother Four and my new sister, Tris!"

We raise our glasses and clink them together and everyone stands to congratulate me and Four with hugs and claps on the back. We finally sit and tuck into the delicious meal. Afterwards I show off my engagement ring and of course all the girls are excited for me. When we finish we walk over to where Zeke and Shauna have their tree and find a place to sit. Zeke comes up to where Tobias and I are sitting. Tobias stands up and Zeke punches his shoulder playfully.

"Why didn't you tell me? How long had you been planning this?"

Tobias shrugs. "I wanted it to be a surprise for all of you, not just Tris. I bought the ring a few weeks ago, after Thanksgiving."

"Well, I'm happy for you two."

"Thanks and you already know you're my best man."

"I'm honored. Maybe one day you can return the favor."

"Of course."

Each couple sits together as we exchange gifts. Tobias and I gave each couple movie tickets and a restaurant gift card. Each of us got various things and thanked one another profusely.

After we exchange gifts I walk up to the girls.

"So, I wanted to ask you, Christina, if you'd be my maid of honor and Shauna and Marlene if you'd be bridesmaids."

"Of course!" They say.

I then walk over to Will. "Hey Will, I am going to ask your sister to be a bridesmaid since Four will be asking Caleb to be a groomsman. Do you think she will accept?"

"Definitely! She will gladly do it if Caleb is obviously gonna be a part of it."

"All right. I'll call her later or just have Caleb ask her."

He nods.

"So have you two set a date yet?" Christina asks me.

"Sort of. We wanna get married this summer, probably in June, but we still need to pick the exact date. We've decided not to wait until we are finished with our schooling."

"Understandable. Show all those girls that try to hit on Four that he's yours. The ring on his finger will prove it."

I roll my eyes and laugh. "True."

We spend the rest of the evening talking and playing games. Tobias was right when he said that we are all more than friends, we are family.

A/N: Went back and did a bit of cleaning house on this chapter after I posted it. There were some things I wanted to add as I felt that this chapter was initially on the short side and I also fixed some grammar/spelling mistakes.
