Eric's prov

We got Chris, under control and she hasn't bothered us in 2 months. Tris still hadn't tested her voice yet, despite me coaxing her. She wrote 'Babe, lunch brake.' and rang a bell app on her phone causing me to look up. "Lunch is being delivered." I saw a smile on her face. "Can you try talking for me? Say anything... I haven't heard that sexy voice in over a month."

She shook her head looking at her computer screen. I sighed, and went over to her. "Please. Just one little word, and You don't have to say another if it hurts too much."

"E...E... Er... Eric." She managed out. I said "I love you." She said "I... Love... You... too." She managed. I grinned. "Keep trying." She frowned and said "It hurts, but it's okay."

I said "I'm sorry. You just gotta keep using it, and warm it up again." She said "Thank you." There was a knock on the door, as Eric opened the door. "Chris." I said. "Before you even try anything, I'm only here to bring you guys some food." She handed the food to me before leaving. I brought it in and sat it on Tris's desk. "Eat up."

We ate quietly, as I massaged her arm, comforting.

"I love you so much, Tris. You are my whole world, and I don't know what I'd do without you." I said, kissing her lips. "Thanks for everything Eric." She said, after kissing me back.

Everything was perfect, For now. My wife was Safe, happy and healthy, My child was safe, happy and as far as Marlene can tell, healthy.

Tris's Prov

"What names do you like for a daughter?" I asked, and Eric said "I always liked Angel and Amelia, for a girl and Jacob and Jasper For a boy. How about you?" I said "I always thought Dawn was pretty, and Kyleigh, For a boy I like James, and Jasper. "

"What about Kyleigh Angel Coulter, and Jasper James Coulter?" Eric suggested. I thought for a moment, and said "I think they're the most perfect names ever, and they're so unique."

He grinned and said "perfect. Now, you look tired... Wanna go home and lie down?" I shook my head. "I'm okay... I'm not that tired..."

He gave a small smile. "You look exhausted..." I said "Really... I'm... I'm fine.." I managed out in between yawns. He said "Naptime." He had a cot set up, out of sight from a look in, so I went over and laid down on it.

Eric's Prov:

I picked up a blanket I kept in the office, Tris had been taking a few naps lately, so I kept a cot in our office, behind the door and a blanket, so I gently laid it over my now sleeping wife, and kissed her head. We still hadn't heard from her parents... It was almost as if they didn't want anything to do with us. But they may just be busy, I mean after all, They're the head of Abnegation now.

Just then my phone rang, and I answered. "Eric Coulter." I said into the phone, I didn't recognize the number. "I'm sorry, she's asleep right now, Mr. and Mrs. Prior... Can I take a message? Yeah... Uh Huh... Ee huh..." I said jotting the message down. "Alright, I will have her call you guys back." I hung up on the phone, before turning to the ever growing amount of paperwork.

'Seriously. Max used me and Tris as his assistants, or secretaries.' I thought just as there was a knock on the door. I got up and went to open the door, seeing Max. "Seriously Max, We aren't your personal assistants, or Secretaries... We are already swamped, enough!" Max said "Whoa, what's wrong man? I just came to check on you guys... You seem on edge..."

I sighed, knowing he was right. "Can we go out for drinks tonight, I was gonna go there after work. Uriah and Zeke were gonna stay with Tris, like they've been doing." Max said "absolutely, You're not having second thoughts though Are you?"

"No. Not at all." I said without hesitation. "I'm... I just need to get some stress off... I don't want to burden Tris with it... She just started talking again, to me and I don't want to send her back to that point where she goes back to not talking..."

"You got it. Say 8?" I nodded and thanked him. Max was a father to me, and I knew I could trust him with my life.

"ERIC!" I heard Tris's cries causing me to jump, and rush over to her, pulling her into my arms. "SSHh. I'm here, baby. I'm here, Shh." I whispered, trying to soothe her the nightmares didn't cease, but when she got them she clung to me and silently cried.

I kept her close, rocking her. Slowly she calmed down, much to my relief. "That's my Tris. What was the dream?" I asked softly.

"Do you regret marrying me? Do you regret everything we've been through?" She whispered, that broke my heart. "God No, Tris baby." I cupped her cheek, lifting her face to meet mine. "I don't regret anything. Why?"

"Then tell me what your telling Max!" She said, pulling away from me. I took a deep breath. "I will, if you tell me what your dream was." She said "You leaving me, Okay?" I saw fresh tears in her eyes, causing me to wipe them away. "Not gonna happen." I promised.

"I'm scared... I don't want to burden you, with this... You haven't really been yourself the last month and a half... I mean I know, the pregnancy hormones might be playing a part of it. You're my rock, and I love you to death... But you haven't really been eating, and you've been having nightmares, which make you not hungry, and you just want to sleep... I can't lose you or baby Coulter... You two are my life. You used to open up to me about everything... You've been kind of distant, since I killed Four..." I said, trying to cup her cheek again, stroking my thumb under her eyes to wipe a few tears that shed.

"I'm sorry... I didn't want to burden you either... Whenever I got like depressed or in a really weird mood, You've seen those rare times, I just wanna hide away and sleep... I can't really explain what I've been feeling though... I'm happy you killed Four, but I mean, there's still a part of me that kind of cares about him and miss him a bit, despite the shit he put me through... I guess, that kind of put me in that mood... The nightmares... now are a combination, of Chris trying to get to us and you leaving..." She said, as she leaned into my caresses.

"Tris, Sweetie, Why didn't you tell me? I know that part of missing and caring for someone who had treated you like shit, My father and mother were kind of like that. Chris won't touch us, Uriah and Zeke are going to make sure of it, and so will I. And Tris. Listen to me." She looked to me.

"Tris, I know you're afraid of me leaving. But If I was gonna leave, I would've left a long time ago, I am not with you cause I feel guilty. I am with you because I love you more than anything. I'd rather DIE than any harm come to you. I can't erase the past, even though I would do it in a heartbeat if I could, But I swear to you right here and now, as your Friend, Lover and husband. I will NEVER harm you like he had. I'm NEVER gonna treat you like that, and I am NEVER gonna cheat on you. I'm only gonna love you, and our Baby. I'm going to help you rebuild that beautiful, sexy self confident girl who jumped first, the one who stood up to me for a friend, the one who let her ex throw knives at her, the one who marches to her own tune, the one who defied the odds. And my beautiful, Smart, Sexy wife I will protect and love you and Baby Coulter until my dying day." I said, my voice so full of emotions.
