I do not own Divergent... Though if I did you would know it!

The next two months are a blur with wedding preparations and making plans with Shauna about the Rachel situation. Not only that but someone "stepped down" from a leadership position so now Tris is doing my old job and I have become Ambassador to the factions. I am the one who makes the Dauntless decisions when it comes to faction gatherings and I join with Max on criminal punishments as the Dauntless representatives. The wedding is in a week and Tris and I decided that as a show of good faith we would invite our families, her mom has come by twice with some traditional things from Abnegation but we want our wedding Dauntless because that is what we are no matter how we grew up. My parents have RSVP'd but have not bothered me about it. I think my mom is just happy I found someone to love me. Today I have a gathering meeting in Erudite so I figure I will stop in and see them and maybe get some advice from my dad.

I go to Tris' office and give her a kiss while letting her know where I'm going and what I'm doing and then turn to leave. "Be careful." She says. "I still get nervous when you go to Erudite because of Rachel." I tell her not to worry and head out to the waiting car. After reaching the Erudite complex I tell the driver to stay near the car and explain a little of what the situation is. He nods and parks outside visible from any window facing that direction. Upon entering I shake hands with the Erudite representative which just happens to be Tris' brother Caleb. He tries to really put some muscle into it but come on, look at me. We go into the conference room and everything is soooo boring I am really fighting to stay awake. Finally the meeting is over and as we are going to leave Caleb leaves before I do.

I notice someone meet him and give him a kiss. "It's fucking Rachel." I say to myself as she hugs him and while doing this she is looking over his shoulder at me and winks, this bitch is trying to play me and with Tris' brother no doubt. I turn the opposite direction and head to my parents domiscile and when I'm about halfway there someone grabs my hand and pushes me against the wall and there are lips suddenly pressing on mine. I push her away "what the fuck!" Rachel smiles coyly at me. "I can tell you still want me Eric you don't have to pretend, your girlfriend is not here." I taste bile in the back of my throat and fight the urge to punch her in the face.

"My fiance." I say emphasizing the last word. "Is the only person I will ever want or need." I basically spit at her. "Oh really?" she asks. "I had you first, I showed you what pleasure was, does that mean nothing to you now?" I scoff at her. "It means absolutely nothing, you took advantage of me. I was immature and just a boy, you could have gone to prison for that don't you see you are nothing but a predator!" I hit the wall and turn to walk away Rachel grabs my arm and I shove her away once again. From behind us I hear. "Get away from my son, if you ever come near him or his wife or his family ever again I will make sure that you spend the rest of your life in a cell in Candor."

I turn around and see my father. "Oh, and Rachel you can find yourself another job as well." She turns and runs down the hallway and I look at my father when she is no longer in sight. "Thank you." I whisper at him. "I always suspected, is that why you left?" I nod my head and visually see his shoulders relax. "It looks like you are doing well in Dauntless though and getting married, she must be quite the woman, I know you're mother adores her."I nod my head once again. "That was why I was coming by Dad, I wanted to know if you had any advice for me?" He looks at me surprise widening his eyes slightly and smiles. "Come on son." He unlocks the domiscile door and a wave of euphoria washes over me. "Nothings changed." I say, he laughs and says..."yeah we like things the way we like them. Go ahead and take a seat, would you like something to drink?" I think for a second and smile. "Tea would be great, we don't have alot of it in Dauntless and sometimes I miss it.

He smiles one more time and moves to the kitchen to brew the tea. Upon his return he sits across from me. "So son, here's what you need to know about marriage, the only things that change are her last name and the tax paperwork. I assume you two are already living together so unless you two are already talking about children it's not going to be very different. He looks up at me with something I can only describe as respect. "I can see the positive affect this woman is having on you Eric and I have to admit that it is very refreshing to see. I was very worried about you son, but now that I know about Rachel pieces of my memory are falling into place. We finish our tea silently and I rise and reach out my hand to shake his. "Thank you for everything Dad, I really appreciate it. I'll see you at the wedding I cannot wait for you to meet Tris."

I leave the domiscile and make my way back to the car and the stupid idiot left. I turn around to search for him and Caleb is rushing towards me. "What do you think you were doing attacking my girlfriend!" He yells in my face. "Caleb, I didn't attack her, she attacked me. She has been trying to get to me since I left her when I went to Dauntless! If you would like a witness my father saw the whole thing!" I take a breath it has been a long time since I have yelled like that. Caleb looks at me with a question burning in his mouth. "You were Erudite?" I nod. "And you're marrying my sister, so she was just using me to get to you, no wonder she wanted to go to the wedding so bad." Caleb turns to walk away but an idea springs into my mind. "Hold on Caleb, I think we can help each other out. I have a friend here that I think may be good for you and you can definitely bring her to the wedding, but I want Rachel to think she is going until Cara takes your arm instead."

I motion for him to follow me and make my way to Cara's office/lab. When I walk in she gives me a wide smile and comes to give me a hug. She notices Caleb almost immediately and raises an eyebrow. I explain the plan and after a few minutes of convincing Cara that a first date to a wedding is romantic she agrees. "So until then this woman is going to be all over him and we have to pretend to not know each other?" She asks. We nod at each other in understand and her smile is brighter than the sun. "I love being a double agent, by the way, how's my little brother doing over there in Dauntless?" She asks.

I take a second to comprehend the question. "Who's your brother?" She laughs her evil laugh. "Will..." I shake my head and wonder how these two can be cut from the same cloth. "He's doing really well, his girlfriend drives me up a wall sometimes but she is my fiance's best friend so I have to deal with it but other than that he is doing great, finished initiation in 4th place."Cara smiles and says, "good, well I better get back to work see you at the wedding and congratulations. I am glad you finally found someone who can handle you." I tell her goodbye and Caleb and I walk to an empty conference room as I try to prepare him for what is about to happen. "Caleb, I'm going to hit you and it needs to be believable okay?" We walk out of the conference room me first being follwed by him yelling at me. I turn and storm to face him and punch him square in the jaw. "Leave me alone!" I yell. "If you want the old hag, that is fine but don't try to put me in the middle." As he is sprawled out on the floor I turn and make my way through the door.

I get to the car and climb in (driver intact) and motion for him to go back to the compound. "Where were you 30 minutes ago when I came out here, I asked you not to leave." He looks at me nervously "I'm sorry sir, you were gone for so long I needed to use the facilities." I don't respond to him and when we reach the compound it is already 5:30 I wasn't planning on being gone that long. I am famished as I head to the Mess Hall to get some food. I am trying to find somewhere to sit and I don't see Tris so I take a seat next to Zeke. "Hey buddy." He says with a huge smile on his face. "What's going on?" I roll my eyes at him. "It's been a really long day but somethings are finally coming together, incidentally can you please tell Shauna to stop by my place when you see her. We have some things that we need to talk about." He waves and says. "Is this about that special project that she keeps trying to help you with?" I nod again and try to concentrate on my food not wanting to talk anymore.

A few minutes later I feel a small familiar hand rubbing circles on my neck. I drop my fork and grab her arm and swing her around and just hold her in my arms breathing in her delicious scent. She looks at me confused but I twitch my head telling her no and she cuddles into my chest. A minute later she sits on the bench and looks at Zeke. "Are you finished with my fiance, because I would like to take him home now." Zeke shrugs his shoulders and as we are leaving I remind him about sending Shauna over. Tris looks slightly disappointed at this but I resolve she will be okay with it once she hears the situation. Plus we have decided not to have sex again until after we are married, so I don't know what the big inconvienice is. After I have stepped in the threshold she rounds on me. I flinch expecting her to yell, but she just looks at me.

"What happened today?" She asks quietly. I look at her my pride in her filling my soul. "How do you know something happened today?" I ask a twinkle in my voice. She doesn't seem to like this much and her voice is filled with venom as she answers. "Well, you were pushing food around your plate and you asked Zeke for Shauna so I figured it had to do something with that bitch." I take her to the couch and tell her everything that happened and when I get to the part about Caleb she completely flips out. I have to physically restrain her from going to the door and as I tell her about the plan she finally relaxes. "I think him and Cara could really be good together, you'll see baby." I say. I pull her close to me. "You know, not being intimate with you right now is really killing me, I just wanted you to know." She looks at me and rolls her eyes. "I know, me too but this is something we decided together and we need to stick to it." I nod my head and pull her into my arms. I lean in for a kiss but at the exact moment we hear a knock at the door. I go over just expecting Shauna but her and Christina are standing before me. Christina and Tris go into the bedroom to talk more wedding details and I let Shauna in on the plan.
