OH MY GOD! I am so so so so sorry I havent updated in like 3 weeks. I was trying to write this chapter, and kept getting sidetracked with school, homework, drivers ed, etc. that I just didn't have any time to write! I won't keep you any longer, here is chapter 35!
Getting back to the compound didn't take that long. By the time Tobias and I jumped off the train though, he sun had disappeared beyond the horizon and the bright, full moon was high in the sky.
"When do you want to tell everybody?" Tobias asks while we walk back to our apartment.
"Probably be tomorrow. I just just want to spend tonight with her in my arms and you by my side." I tell him.
"I was thinking the same thing."
We arrive at the front door of our apartment. Tobias unlocks it and we walk inside. I walk inside and move towards the couch. I sit down with Emma still in my arms. Tobias sits down beside me, and pulls us as close together as possible.
I look down at Emma, who is now fast asleep. When we were leaving abnegation, I kept glancing down at her and noticed that she was looking up at me with a confused look. Partly because she didn't know what was happening, but there was also a touch of fear in her eyes.
"I'm so glad we have her back." Tobias says, interrupting me from my thoughts.
"I am too." I agree, then pause for a moment. "Tobias, did you see how when I took Em out of my mother's arms, she started to cry a little?"
"Tris, we have her back now. It doesn't matter." He says knowing what I am thinking.
I ignore him and continue on with my point, "And the look in her eyes as we were leaving. It was a mixture of confusion and fear. Tobias, she didn't know who I was. My own daughter didn't know who I was."
"Tris, she has been away from us for a little less than a year. She was only two weeks old when she was taken, of course she isn't going to know who you are. Neither of us were there for her to see us everyday." He kisses my forehead. "Just give it some time. She'll be calling you 'mommy' in no time."
"You're right." I say and lean into him. Emma in my arms, and Tobias by my side, I couldn't ask for anything better.
I finally got my daughter back after being away for so long. The past year has been absolute hell for me. Tobias and I broke up more than one time, but it didn't last every long. Only a couple days at most, but what I learned from all this is that even the deepest wounds can heal. This was definitely a very deep wound, but sitting on the couch in the extremely tiny apartment that Tobias, myself, and once again Emma share makes me want to freeze this moment in time and live in it forever.
THE END... For Now.
I know, I know, you guys will probably hate me, but i wanted to end this story on a note, and it just seemed like the perfect place, but just know that there WILL be a sequel, but I dont know when I am going to write it so just stay tuned. In the mean time though, I am going to be writing another Divergent Fanfic called "New School, Same Old Boring Life" and as you might have guessed, it is a high school setting. I am posting it right after i am done writing this, so go check it out please.
Love you all! XOXOXO
