A/N --
Thank you for reading my story. I just wanted to let you know that about halfway through this chapter the text goes to the middle of the screen. I've spent a while trying to fix this but I can't work it out. I wanted to get this chapter out for you as soon as I could so I just left it. Thanks again, please review, it makes my day reading them.
I jump.
I plunge down before my back hits against something, flinging me up about a foot before I rest on it.
Someone helps me across the net and off the edge, Tobias. A few seconds later a crying baby comes down and hits the net, Tobias carries him off and hands him to me right before another one comes down as well.
"Fraser and Leo?" He whispers to me. I nod and his face lights up. "My name is Four, I'll be your initiation instructor. What's your name?" He asks.
"I'm Tris." I say, Beatrice just doesn't sound right anymore.
"Tris," he smiles to me. "I like that."
"Make the announcement, Four." Someone behind him says.
"First jumper, Tris!" The room breaks into applause and cheering, people chant my name over and over.
"Just wait over there for the others." Tobias says, pointing to the other side of the room.
Another person hits the net, Christina. "Welcome to Dauntless." Says a girl behind me.
~XxX~
"You'll be sleeping here." Four says to us.
"What about the kids? Can they go somewhere else." A candor boy, Peter, asks.
"No, they're staying here, if you have a problem with that you can leave now." Tobias says before quickly smiling to me. "Now get changed." He says to us before signalling for me to come over.
"Do you want me to get beds and clothes for them while you settle in?"
"Yes, thanks." I say.
"Good job on getting here, by the way." I smile at him. "You go back over, I'll get you the stuff."
I walk back to Christina who is changing into Dauntless black. She points to boxes in the corner and I go to grab some clothes, there isn't much choice but I manage to find some jeans and a tank top. I put them on and sit on my bed.
"Tris!" Four calls after a moment, I run up to him. "Here are some clothes. I got a barrier for the side of your bed so they can sleep with you and not fall out, is that okay?"
"Yes, thank you."
"I'll see you at dinner." He smiles to me.
"Bye." I say and start to help the twins get changed.
"How old are they?" Christina asks me, sitting on my bed next to me.
"They'll be two next month."
"I hope you don't mind me asking, who is their father?"
Tobias and I decided it was best if nobody knows we are together for the first little while.
"You probably won't know him, he is a Dauntless born a year above us." I say, trying to throw her off course.
"Okay, have you seen him since you arrived?"
I shake my head.
"Maybe you'll see him at dinner." She smiles.
"I heard he failed initiation, he's factionless." I sigh.
"Oh, sorry. Are you going to drop out and meet him?"
"No, I want the boys to have a good life, even if it's not with their dad."
Christina nods. "It's time for dinner, do you want me to take one of them?"
"Yeah," I say giving her Leo. "It's Leo." I pick up Fraser and we go towards the dining hall.
When we arrive it's already quite full, there were not many available seats. Christina and I walk up and down the rows of seats, looking for somewhere. "How about here?" She suggests, pointing at a few seats next to Tobias. I nod and we sit down, the twins on either side of me, Leo next to Christina and Fraser next to Four.
I take one of the rolls from the middle of the table. I look at the filling for a moment, then I ask Christina what it is.
"It's a hamburger, don't tell me you've never had one." I shake my head.
"Stiffs eat plain food." Four says to her, "put this on it." He hands me a small dish full of red sauce. I put some on it before taking a bite. It tastes so good, so many flavours all mixed together to make a big sandwich.
"Do they eat proper food yet?" Tobias asks me.
"Not yet," I say, "do you know where I could get baby food for them?"
"Follow me," he says, getting up. I stand up as well,
"Mummy!" Leo cries as I turn to follow Tobias.
"I'll be right back, Leo. Wait there." I say before running a bit to catch up with Four.
"Leo, come back!" I hear Christina call but I can't see where she is.
"There it is." He says pointing at a line of small bowls.
"Thanks." I say taking two.
"Tris, I'm wondering if you'd like to come to mine for a catch up tonight, bring the boys?"
"Yeah, where do you stay?"
"Apartment 241, ask any Dauntless member and they'll show you."
"Okay." I nod before returning to my seat.
"Where's Leo?" I ask Christina, trying to remain calm.
"He followed you, I don't know where he went."
"What's wrong?" Four asks us.
"Leo followed us and I don't know where he is."
"You stay here with him." Four says to Christina. "Come on."
We get as far as the end of the row before a man steps up to the microphone.
"It's Eric." Tobias mutters to me.
"Who's son is this?" The man, Eric, says, holding up Leo.
"He's mine!" I call over the crowd.
"Well, you need to come and find me later, Okay?"
"Yes." I call out again before returning to my seat.
"It's alright." Christina says, rubbing my back
"I feel like the worst mum in the world." I cry.
"It would have been easier if their dad hadn't left."
"Actually, Christina," Four says, "Their dad didn't leave."
"Where is he then?"
"I'm their dad. This got pregnant in Abnegation two years ago. Our plan had always been to split up and meet each other here. Tris convinced me to come, even after she found out she was pregnant."
"So today is like a family reunion?" She asks.
"Yeah, exactly." I smile.
