Before I get into this chapter, I'd like to address a guest review I just got. I'd prefer to do it privately but of course that's impossible with guest reviews. I think I've said before that I am not a professional writer and am writing fanfics for fun. I have no intention to publish my stories outside of this website. I know my stories have plenty of mistakes whether its grammar or the writing is cheesy or even continuity errors. I do not think that my use of quotes from the original source is plagiarism and I do not think I am the only fanfic writer who has used quotes from the original source. My stories thus far are only Divergent fanfics and I mostly only read Divergent fanfics and some of the stories I've read, no matter their plot (if its modern/AU or set within the original story like a "no war" story etc), have used a quote here or there in the story. If I think a quote will fit into a particular place then I'll use it as it is in the original source or paraphrase it. If anyone else has an issue with this please PM me.


Tobias POV

I can't believe I am getting married tomorrow. It feels so surreal. I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I'd love somebody as much as I love Tris and now be hours away from getting married.

She and I passed another semester with flying colors and I'm officially one year away from graduating while Tris will graduate the year after. I still haven't decided if I am gonna get a four year degree especially if Tris and I decide to start a family within the next few years. Either way, I am glad that I'll have some sort of degree.

I walk up behind Tris, who is standing in front of the mirror looking radiant in an off white dress and applying light makeup for the rehearsal dinner, and wrap my arms around her and bring my lips to her neck then her ear.

"Tomorrow you'll officially be Mrs. Eaton," I whisper.

I feel her shudder which brings a smirk to my face as she reaches an arm back and brings her hand to the side of my head. She turns around in my embrace and presses her lips to mine. She smiles when we pull away and reapplies her lipgloss.

"I'm already yours forever, an Eaton or not."

"True, but I will be extra happy when you're finally carrying my name."

"I know. Can we just elope right now?"

I laugh. "Too late now. Besides, I wanna see you in your dress so that I know I'll be able to take it off of you tomorrow night."

She giggles. "Tobias Eaton, you tease!"

I smirk and shrug. "What? It's tradition, isn't it?"

She roll her eyes at me but smiles. "Whatever you say, babe."

"I'm gonna miss you tonight though."

"Same here. I think it'll be hard sleeping without you next to me but luckily it's only one night."

"True. I wasn't very fond of tossing and turning every night when...you know."

"I know. Neither was I. How about right now even before we are officially married we make a promise to each other?"

"What kind of promise?"

"That no matter how hard things get, no matter how big or small any arguments between us are, we will never go to sleep angry with each other."

I smile. "Deal."

"Hopefully we both can get some sleep tonight. Although, you're lucky that none of the guys will kill you if they actually notice that you didn't sleep well."

I chuckle. "Good luck with that."

"We should get going. I'll finish getting ready when we get back but I wanted to look nice for our visit to the cemetery."

"You look beautiful, babe."

PAGE BREAK

We arrive at the cemetery with flowers for Andrew, Natalie and Marcus. I've come a few times on my own to visit Marcus and with Evelyn as well. It's not such a weird feeling for me coming here anymore. I try not to think of it as a body underground. I always hope that Marcus is in a better place wherever that may be.

We walk hand in hand to Andrew and Natalie's grave first. Tris place the flowers down and steps back a little. I wrap my arm around her and rub her back as she takes a deep breath before speaking.

"Now more than ever I wish you both were here with me. I wanted to tell you that Tobias and I are getting married tomorrow. Mom, I wish you had been here to help me plan all this and watch me put on my dress tomorrow. Dad, I wish you were here to walk me down the aisle and dance the father daughter dance with me. But I know you'll be looking down on me tomorrow. I will be thinking of you both."

I decide to speak. "Mr. and Mrs. Prior, I wish I had gotten the chance to meet you. When Tris first brought me here I made you a promise that I would take care of her. Tomorrow I'll be making the promise to her and to you that I'll take care of her and love her for the rest of my life. I won't let you down."

Tris looks up at me and smiles. I smile back. After another moment I take her hand and we walk to Marcus' grave. I set the flowers down and speak just as Tris did to her parents.

"Dad, I hope you're at peace. I just want you to know that I'll never forget our last conversation. When Tris and I have children, the most important lesson I will teach them is forgiveness. One day, when they're old enough I'll bring them to meet you. I'm sure we will meet again one day."

PAGE BREAK

The rehearsal goes well and everybody seems to know what to do tomorrow. Luckily the aisle is wide enough so both Jack and Amar can escort Tris. It's really amazing to see from my end how happy Jack and Amar are for Tris and for me. It's also surreal that my mom will be escorting me. I'm grateful that she is here with me. She is also giving Tris a lot of support and Hana has been there for Tris too. Tris will be honoring her parents in some way tomorrow.

When we get home from dinner I gather everything I need and load it in my car. The girls are all spending the night with Tris so they don't have to rush to come over tomorrow morning to help her and then take photos. I walk into the living area where they are all gathered with bags of stuff.

"Alright ladies, well, I guess I'll be heading out now. Take care of my girl and don't torture her too much. Make sure she gets to the wedding in one piece or I'll castrate your boyfriends."

They all nod and I see Tris smirk. Tris walks with me out to the car and I put the last of my things inside before turning to face her.

"I'm gonna miss you."

"I'm gonna miss you too. I love you."

"I love you too. I'll see you soon." (A/N: My use of that quote doesn't mean anything bad will happen. I just thought that was a good place for it.)

I lean down and press my lips to hers. When we pull I hold her tight for a moment before letting go. I drive away excited for tomorrow and excited for our future.
