Chapter 5 Dinner With Friends

That night they had dinner at Amar and George's apartment. "So what is the big news?" George asks as they set down to dinner.

Tris and Tobias had been quiet and Christina had asked George to host the dinner party as she had an announcement. "Actually I am going to let Tris and Tobias make the announcement for me." Christina says as she sits down next to Caleb.

"Well today Tobias took me through his fear landscape again for the second time ever and it was very changed. The last one he did something similar to what I did when I encountered him in my fear landscape on my final test to get into Dauntless. We revisited a couple of spots from our time together in Dauntless then he took me to the one place where I never thought we would go again."

Tobias took over at this point. "I took her to the Ferris wheel and instead of her starting the climbing first this time I lead the way up to the platform where," he trailed off and Tris took over.

"He proposed in a very beautiful way and gave me this," she held out her hand showing the ring to the group.

"About damn time Tobias. Honestly was beginning to think you would never realize marriage is worth the troubles." Zeke says and Shauna slaps him.

"Worth the troubles? Am I a burden or something?" She pokes his chest as she speaks.

"Hell no you are the greatest gift I was every lucky enough to have in my life. I meant the trouble of the nerves you get when you are about to propose and you are afraid you are going to do it wrong so that the woman you love thinks you are an idiot." They all laugh.

"Well you knew exactly how to propose to me and apparently Tobias knew how to do the proposing in a way that let Tris know she was the most important thing in his life. Also I think Caleb got it right too."

Caleb blushes as the attention turns toward him. "I wasn't going to say anything tonight as it was obvious that Tobias and Tris had something very important to say and I didn't want to steal their thunder but yes I am engaged to Susan."

"Congratulations Caleb." Tobias and Tris say at the same time. "You have my sympathy Susan!"

"So I missed Zeke and Shauna getting married, what else did I miss while I was 'dead'?" Tris asked after a few more minutes of chat about the two engagements.

They filled her in on their jobs, the city's changing environment, marriages, babies, and everything they could think of that she missed. "What about you sister dear? What changed with you since we last saw you?" Caleb asks.

"I have two new tattoos, a son, and I have slowly become friends with Marcus." She said with a wave of her hand.

"Two new tattoos? What are they of?" Christina asks in shock.

Tris pulls the collar of her pink shirt down a bit and revealed that her raven tattoo now had four more ravens than it used to have. Then she turned in her seat and pulled down the back of her shirt enough to show the shoulder blade. On it was a pair of hands holding a heart. The hand had the name Tobias and in the heart was the name Beatrice.

"That is beautiful but what is it about?" Amar asked.

"It is about the feelings I have had for Tobias since the day I met him. He has held my heart in his hands since he helped me out of the net. So I had his name put on the hands and mine in the heart to show that he holds my heart in his hands." Tris says with a blush. "I know it's a silly girl thing."

Tobias reaches over and takes her hand in his then he kisses her fingers. "It is not silly but really something sweet that makes me realize how blessed I am." He said then he lifts his shirt and shows her a new tattoo on his chest it was a banner made of a belt wrapped around a heart that was held in two hands. The belt had the words 'Tris you forever hold my heart in your loving hands.' She reaches over and traces a finger down the belt.

"Why did you have the belt put around it?" Tris asks softly.

"I remember what you did the first time we went into my fear landscape and you saw what Marcus was going to do to me. You rather let him hurt you than me and that gave me the strength to stand up for myself because actually I was standing up for you not me. Every time I needed strength you gave me yours and I to this day borrow more than I have ever given you." He whispers.

"I don't agree. I remember my initiation instructor who came to my rescue when I was being tortured by three boys. I remember how he gave me his strength the next day when I didn't think I could face the same boys who had touched me in a way that made me uncomfortable. I remember how you gave me the strength to overcome the deaths of my parents and the guilt I couldn't shake." Tris says and for the moment it is just the two of them.

"Aww aren't they just so sickeningly cute?" Amar teases as he pinches Tobias' arm. Tobias blushes and so does Tris as the come back to realize the others are still with them. Tobias quickly covers his exposed chest.

Evelyn sensing the need to change the subject speaks up, "You only had three ravens before and now there are seven. Why do you have seven ravens now?

"The original three were for my mom, dad, and Caleb. The four that I had added are for Tobias, Torin, Marcus, and you Evelyn. When I learned of how you and Tobias were trying to reconcile your relationship I decided to get the tattoo updated with a bird for each of you. It was after Torin came so I added the three then I met up with Marcus a while ago and once we started talking I wanted to add one for him too." Tris explained.

"That is so awesome." George said recognizing the original three birds as his sister's handiwork. "The originals were done by my sister weren't they?"

"Yes they were and she was the first person to realize I was divergent as she was the one who did my aptitude test. She was a very nice woman and I was happy I had a chance to meet her."

George smiled with sadness in his eyes. "I bet she really liked you too."

"She did," Tobias said. "When I went to see her one day after I realized Tris was a divergent she told me she wasn't surprised that I had figured it out but she was furthermore not surprised that I fell for Tris. I honestly want to know how many people knew I had feelings for Tris before the initiation banquet?"

"Uriah and his friends thought you two might have been secretly dating. Shauna and I both thought Tris had feelings for you but you were a bit harder to read until the night we caught them in the training room." Zeke says with a grin.

"I think in a way it was obvious now that I look back at it. There were looks exchanged and you two seemed to find ways to touch when you thought no one was looking. Also there was the way you approached her while you were drunk by the chasm that one night. You seemed to have a look in your eye as if you wanted to get her alone in your bedroom." Christina teased Tobias.

"My favorite memory of her initiation was the day you came to see me because you needed to vent. She had stood up for another initiate when Eric teased him. She had stood there while you threw three knives at her. You had to purposely hit her ear to protect her from Eric's wrath. It was one of the first time I saw you show real emotion and that made me happy for you because it felt like you were overcoming something that your childhood had instilled in you." Zeke said seriously.

"Tris the first jumper and the first girl to break the walls that protected Tobias' heart was the one girl that most Dauntless women that were single were completely jealous of. You had the heart of one of the hottest men in the whole faction. You also never saw your beauty which only made those same women all that more jealous." Shauna says after a moment.

They all laughed as Tris' mouth dropped open. A moment later she recovered. "I didn't know people were jealous of me for having 'Four' yelling at me and taunting me all the time." She said with a laugh.

Tobias teasingly pinches her arm and says. "Hey I never taunted you. I may have yelled but it was all I could do to help you protect yourself."

"Were you ever afraid you would find out Tobias was married, engaged, or dating someone else when you were beginning to plan your return?" George asked.

"Oh I know she was worried and was worried up until he proposed today." Amar said.

"What makes you say I was worried until he proposed today?" Tris asks.

"Well once he proposed it was clear he wasn't going to send you packing for what you did." Amar says.

"Want to know what her first question to me once she revealed herself to me?" Matthew asked the group and once they all nodded he spoke again. "She asked me if I thought Tobias would freak if she showed up at his door."

"I did freak but not because of her it was because Amar was trying to hook me up with a woman without telling me it was the one I already belonged to. I wanted to kick his ass for thinking I could love any other woman after Tris." Tobias said as he held Tris' hands and pulled them up to his lips so he could kiss her fingers again.

"I love you too Tobias. I knew you wouldn't be over Tris any time soon. Also if you had gotten over her that soon I would have kicked your ass for being a heartless idiot." Amar said.
