A/N It has been forever since I last updated and I feel nice today. So, I will update just for you since I've been absent. The next week is going to be full of updates, because August 1st through August 8th I won't be able to update. I will be at the Junior Olympics for Track and Field. That is in Virginia, which is a long way from where I live. Therefore, me not being able to update. Enough about me let's start the story.
She's coming home
Four
I can't believe it Natalie finally gets to meet her mother after all these years. It is even hard for me to believe she left her other family for us. (Even though we had her first.) Natalie gets to be a normal girl with a mother. It may not be a perfect loving home, but for now it is enough.
Everyone is running around trying to make everything perfect for Tris. Following Christina's orders, bumping into people, and most of all the complaints. Uriah may have lost his memory, but he is the exact same Uriah I knew.
In the midst of all the commotion Natalie is in a corner shaking with sobs. Shouldn't she be happy she is finally meeting the person who was absent? Her mom is coming back for her as a child not an adult. She should be ecstatic.
"Nattie, what is wrong? Aren't you happy? Your mommy has come back for you."\
"No, no it is all wrong."
"What…what is wrong, sweetie?"
"What if she likes her other kids better? What if she wished I hadn't been born? Wha-what if she doesn't love me?"
On her last word she bursts out crying, the same time Tris enters the room. Tris alert to any kid noises instantly looks our way. There are tear streaks on her face. I want to corner her and demand why she felt the need to cry. Then hold her close and never let her out of my sight.
Just nowadays Natalie always comes first. My protectiveness of what used to be Tris, is hidden away in a chest that was lost. When she became Trice a woman who isn't mine.
"What happened? Why is she crying? Four, dammit! Tell me what the hell happened?!"
"She is worried you won't love her like your other kids."
I simply state it like it is and grab Natalie into my arms. Comforting her from all harms.
"What?! That is ridiculous. She hasn't even met me yet!"
Softening her voice she whispers, "Let me hold her, please?"
Thinking quickly of it I give Natalie to her mother. Trice stumbles a little under her weight then adjusts her a little. Looking towards me with a nod of her head, she walks away to another room.
Being the over-protective dad I am I listen in on their conversation. That is soon full of giggles and love. My two favorite girls getting along just like that. I could almost cry.
"Four, I know you are there. Join us?"
It has been hours of bonding and storytelling when Natalie finally goes to sleep. Trice is starting to doze off when she says, "Maybe me and you could have second chance?"
I think about a little, not really needing that much convincing.
"Yeah…maybe. You will be mine again. Me, you, and Natalie, the broken family."
I say it mostly to myself since Trice already fell asleep in my lap, with Natalie curled up into her. Knowing that my Tris might still be there I dream of her like always just not ending up in blood.
A/N Short chapter but like I said in the top AN I will be updating a lot. Now time for reviews…there aren't any so I am just going to thank previous reviewers for their words. Also, thanks to those that followed and favorited not only the story but me. A new goal for the day, let's try and get to 40, only three more. And 45 for a sneak peek.
Bye,
Bells
