Chapter 19 Where 15 Years Takes Us

Torin's POV 15 years later

I still can't believe how lucky I am compared to my friends. My dad and mom are madly in love which is awesome but even better I am now working with them as a fear landscape researcher. The other day I met a beautiful woman when I was working. Her skin was a pale white, her eyes were a vibrant green, and her hair was a beautiful shade of red. My dad and mom shared a shocked look as I went to inject the young woman with the serum. "Torin is that you?" She asked me suddenly and I realized I did know this girl.

"Kelly?" I asked in shock then looked back over my shoulder at my parents who just shrugged. "What are you doing here?"

"I volunteered to come have the tests run on me because I heard your parents were working here. I was hoping to ask them about how you are doing but I guess I get to ask you instead. I have missed you terribly the last 15 years." She says softly.

"I have been good. How have you been? I have missed you too. Are you still the bubbly girl I remember or have you slowed down with old age?" I tease her and she laughs.

"I guess you could say I have slowed a bit. I had a near death experience last year and so I had to slow down." She motions to the chair sitting across the room from her. That is when I realize I had seen my father helping the young woman into the chair she now sat in. "I am in physical therapy and they think I may never walk again but I keep telling them to shut up I will walk again."

"That's my girl." I say as I brush her hair away from her neck and I remember how Dad said he had done that to mom the first time he injected her with a fear serum. We do a series of test starting with several individual fear tests then we have them go through their fear landscapes. Today it will be the first test Kelly will go through.

"Funny I never thought I would hear you call me that." She whispers.

"Well I was only 3 the last time we saw one another." I tell her.

"I know." She seems sad and I lean down over her.

"We will definitely have to talk more after your test but right now I am on a time schedule so if I don't inject you in the next thirty seconds my parents will totally dock my pay for this week." I say laughing as I rub the alcohol swab over her beautiful neck.

"Well then Divergent boy you better get to it." She says back and I can't help but laugh. I inject her with the serum.

"Be brave." I whisper the same words my Dad told my Mom the first time he injected her. This seems to work as Kelly slowly relaxes. I smile at her then wave slightly before I join my parents at the control panel.

"So you are using your good old Dad's lines?" Dad says when I come back in the control area and I blush a deep red.

"I hate that you guys listen into every conversation I have with a beautiful girl. You know it sucks working with your parents at times." They both laugh as I put a pout on which of course is a fake because I love working with them. "By the way speaking of beautiful girls have you heard if Mariah has made her work choice yet?"

Mariah is my younger sister. She has to begin training for her career which she will start when she is 16 years old. She is just 14 years old but first has to complete two years of training in the field she chooses. She was born nine months after my parents were married. Mariah and I are the closest of the four of us kids. That is right Mom and Dad had four kids. Mariah is sort of dating Christina's son, Cole. Christina married Matthew about two months after my parents married and Cole was born ten months later. They aren't officially dating because both Christina and Mom feel they should wait until they are sixteen to date. They just have to wait two years though and neither seems upset by it.

After Mariah was born Nate was born two years later. He is named for my grandmother on Mom's side of the family. Andrea was born three years later and she is named for my grandfather on Mom's side. I love my siblings and am thankful that we all get along for the most part. Nate and I have been sharing a room but next year I will be moving out. Andrea and Mariah share a bedroom too. After grandma moved in with grandpa permanently about three months after my parents were married the room my uncle use to call his bedroom was converted into a spare bedroom and later turned into a baby room when Mariah was born.

"She has made a decision but is waiting to tell all of us at dinner tonight. Grandpa and Grandma are coming over too as is Uncle Caleb and Aunt Susan along with their two kids." Mom informs me.

"I can't wait to see Uncle Caleb. I got a new idea to talk over with him for how to improve the serums without some of the side effects." I say.

"You know we better start paying attention you two!" Dad says and laughs as Mom sticks her tongue out at him. "Maybe later baby but right now we need to assure our son's girlfriend doesn't have a heart attack." I laugh because I love the way they tease one another.

"Get a room you two." I tease.

"Ok I think I will. Can you watch the kids tonight?" Mom jokes back.

"Sure but you first have to come to dinner." I tell her and she looks at me with shock. "What I know you two are still all over one another after all these years. I love knowing that you love one another so much. As it gives me hope for my future." I say as I notice the first images appear. "Wow she took a long time to go into the simulation. I think we better check her vitals." I say quietly.

Dad sets about setting up the machines while Mom and I monitor her response to the simulation. "She has a fear similar to my bird fear but it is different too."

"Yeah I see that mom." Mom and Dad have both shown their fear landscapes to me and I have showed mine to both of them as well. They officially nicknamed me Five after my landscape because I have five fears. Dad still has four fears and Mom has six fears so we can't wait to test the rest of the family. One of my fears is about intimacy like my mom use to have so we joke that one day I will be Four Jr. I like that idea though because my dad is so cool. I love seeing him go into his old instructor routines and I love working out with him because he is a great trainer.

Dad comes back in and we check Kelly's vitals. "Shoot Four we got a problem." Mom says but I am already on it. I shoot the serum that will link me to Kelly's fear simulation into my neck and I go into the room standing beside her for a good twenty seconds before I see what she is seeing.

"Kelly it is me." I say softly as I reach over and touch her shoulder. "We will get through this together but first you have to remember what you told me before I gave you the shot. You will walk again so my question is why are you still sitting in this chair? You could fight this if you just stood up." At the sound of my voice her vitals went normal for a fear simulation and she suddenly stood up. She fought and within ten seconds I was able to pull back out of her simulation allowing her to finish on her own. I walk back to the control room and sit down watching the monitor.

"How is it you do that so quickly?" Dad asks me.

"I am more genetically pure remember?" I just shrug it off. "Although you know how much I hate those classifications." I say with disdain and my parents laugh it off.

"She really seems to be going through it better now that you worked with her." Dad says softly checking the vitals.

"Yeah I know but the heart rate isn't calming at all but her breathing is. What the hell is going on?" I get up grab her file to see what medical issues she has. I almost scream when I read it. "How could we all three miss this?" I say showing my parents her file then grabbing another injection to put myself back into the simulation.

"Hold on Torin," Mom says as she points to the screen. Kelly is starting to come around from her simulation but she looks worn out.

I slowly walk into the room and upon seeing me she starts crying. She tries to hide her face and I remember what Dad said happened in one of my mom's fear simulations. I walk over to her wheelchair and pull it up next to her then I sit in it. I reach over and stroke her arm to get her to look at me. "Kelly it is ok. You are out of it now. Talk to me please." She shakes her head and continues to cry. "Kelly you know you did promise to talk to me after your simulation and as it is now 5:30 pm you are officially my last simulation of the day so we can talk as long as you need to. Tell me where your mom is." This works.

"Mom is working at the bureau with her new boyfriend. My dad died a few years after you left the bureau. I don't like the guy she is dating he gives me the creeps." There is something she isn't telling me but I let it slide for now. "That is why I volunteered for this program. It is going to pay for me to move here to the city so I can get away from them."

"Kelly are you heading back tonight?" I hear my mom ask as she enters to undo the machines for the night.

"No I was invited to stay at a friend's apartment when I scheduled this but not sure where I am staying now because things have changed since two months ago when I scheduled this appointment." She looks embarrassed.

"Why don't you stay at our house tonight? Mariah and Andrea would love to have you share their room I am sure." My dad says as he helps mom put equipment away.

"Thank you but I don't know how to get there I mean with my chair it takes a special vehicle to get me around."

"We know." Dad says and grins at me.

"My dad's best friend is married to a woman in a wheelchair so we all have vehicles to make it easier to transport her when she needs a ride. We kind of have a large group of family and friends that take care of one another. I call them my extra aunts and uncles." I say and my parents laugh. I roll my eyes. "You are welcome to stay at our place if you can tolerate the love birds over there." I say hitching my finger over my shoulder toward my parents.

"I can tolerate them. By the way you look even more like your dad now then you did at 2 years old." She leans closer and whispers so my parents don't hear. "And he is still hot so tells me you will be very good looking even when you get older." I grin.

"Thank you and I am glad to hear that you think so." We laugh and my parents give us a questioning look. "Are we ready to go Four and Six?" I get to call them by their nicknames when we are at work.

"Yep are you taking Kelly with you or do you want me to take her?" My Dad asks.

"I can take her but I might need help loading her in the car as I haven't done it that many times." I say.

"Alright Five I will walk out with you while Six pulls our car around to where you are parked." I grin at my dad.

We take Kelly out of the fear simulation room and up to my parking space. "Torin," I hear someone call my name so I turn just to see the one person I don't want to see.

"What do you want Sarah?" I ask the blond heading my way.

"I wanted to see if you were free Friday night. I have to go to a friend's wedding and I don't want to go alone."

I sigh and glance at my Dad who smirks. "I am busy Sarah. I promised Four and Six I would babysit this weekend so they can have a night alone."

"You babysit for your coworkers?" Sarah asked with shock.

"Yes I do. Is that a problem?" I glare at her.

"Well tell them to get someone else to do it. You deserve to have a life too you know besides they are old and married. Don't they like have ten kids too?"

"No they have four kids and they aren't that old but yes they are married." I say and roll my eyes almost everyone knows I work with my parents.

"Ok so they aren't that old but still tell them to go out another night. I still don't see why you babysit for their four brats."

"I babysit three of their kids not four and I do it out of love for them. They gave me life after all." I roll my eyes.

"What do you mean they gave you life? Did they save you or something?"

My dad who has been quiet until now snorts with laughter and so does Kelly. "Let me spell this out for you Sarah. Four and Six have four kids, their oldest is 18. They have two boys and two girls. The oldest is their son named Torin or if you prefer Five." I watch as her face registers what I just said.

"Wait you work with both your parents? Ew gross. I mean I heard about how they are all over each other even at work. How do you tolerate that?"

I laugh. "I love seeing their love in action besides I was born from that love. I also was there when my mom had to struggle through 3 years of being apart from my dad and I never want to see either of them go through that kind of pain again." I say as I push Kelly forward just as I notice my mother has been watching the whole scene play out.

"Oh and by the way Sarah you are fired." My mom says.

"What? Why?" She sputters and my dad shakes his head.

"You just insulted your bosses and harassed a coworker. All while I was on the phone with Johanna Reyes. She has told me to send you to her office right now. You are being reassigned." Sarah storms off and I glance at my mom.

"Thank you Mom and Dad for teaching me about love. Thank you also for being there whenever I need you." I say and Dad wraps his arms around me.

"You know buddy we will be here for you whenever you need." My dad says as he holds me a moment. "I am sorry you had to witness that Kelly." Thank God I have parents who are so kind, smart, brave, honest, and selfless.

"It is ok Mr. Eaton. It just furthered my opinion of your family." She says.

"Kelly can I ask what happened to your legs?" My mom says.

"I was raped and abused by a man last year. However according to the reports about my accident I was supposedly in a car accident while heading to work." She says and I want to cry.

"The man is your mom's boyfriend isn't it?" I ask and my parents look at me shocked.

"Yes that is why I want to move away from there and I have been trying for a while but nothing works. As you probably figured out during my fear simulation today I really am not supposed to be going through these simulations. I rather take the risks so I was given special permission because I told them I knew the people running them and I trusted them with my life. I had to explain how I knew you three and then I was allowed to do it."

She breaks down crying so I lean down and wraps my arms around her. "You don't have to do this to get out of the bureau." I whisper. "We will find another way I promise."

"I am sorry Torin. I never should have come here." Kelly says and she starts to wheel herself away but thanks to my training with my parents I am very strong. I grab her chair and pull her back to me.

"You are not going anywhere but to my home where we will talk it out." I say as I carefully pick her up and put her in my front seat where Mom has opened the door for me. Dad gets the wheelchair and puts it in the trunk of my car before he walks Mom to their car. I go around and get in the driver's seat. I start the car and follow my parents to our home.

When we get there Mariah, Andrea, and Nate are waiting in the front yard for us. Mom had called them to let them know we would have company. Mariah helps Mom get the wheelchair out of my trunk while Nate comes over to open the door. Andrea wheels the chair to the door while Dad lifts Kelly out of the car and into the chair. I get out and follow my family inside. "You have a ramp at your house?"

"Yeah like I said we have a good friend who is in a wheelchair. I think she rather we would have just let her go down the stairs though." I laugh and my dad rolls his eyes before messing my hair up.

"Just because she was Dauntless doesn't mean she likes that much danger." Mom says for Dad.

"I love when you do that." He says as he leans over and kisses Mom.

All four of us kids shout together, "Ew get a room!" We laugh together and it is in these moments that I am most thankful that Mom and Dad found their way back to one another 15 years ago.

Kelly tells us the full story of what the guy did to her while we wait for the others to arrive. "Well who is in charge of your therapy?" Mom asks.

"Cam Prescott," Kelly says.

"Well then it is no surprise you aren't getting better. Why is your mom still dating him the guy who did this?"

"My mom never got the full story of what happened and when I tried to tell her she was called into work before I could then he threatened to have me killed if I told my mother. Do you know of another therapist I can work with?"

"Yes actually I do. Zeke became a therapist after Shauna ended up in a wheelchair. Zeke is Tobias' best friend and Shauna is his wife that Torin told you about." Mom explains.

"I don't have any money to pay him." Kelly says softly.

"Don't worry about it." I say. "He owes me big time for taking care of Shauna's wheelchair when it broke a couple months ago. Dumb idiot husband of hers was using it for racing down our ramp and he jammed the brakes so they wouldn't work." I roll my eyes and Kelly laughs the first really happy laugh I have heard from her today.

"What did you do to fix it?"

"Oh I had to tear it apart and put a new brake on but the goof ball couldn't pay for it so I told him he owed me a favor someday down the road and guess what." I say with a wicked grin.

Mom, Dad, and my siblings chimed in with me. "Today is that day."

"So Torin this is the girlfriend from when you were 2 years old?" Mariah teases.

"Yes Mariah this is Kelly." I say as the doorbell rings.

"I like her." My sister says with a grin as mom lets in our grandparents.

"Is that Kelly?" Grandpa asks as he walks in.

"Mr. Eaton!" She says and wheels over to him then holds her arms out for a hug. He hugs her tight.

"You are even more beautiful today than you were at 2 years old. Still madly in love with my grandson?"

She blushes and I speak up. "Grandpa stop being so rude besides you are insulting the lovely lady. She could do so much better than me." I say and my family all smiles as they see her relax.

"I doubt I could do better than you Torin. I mean you already are as amazing a man as your father is." She whispers.

"I am not nearly as great as my dad but I hope to one day be as amazing as he is." I say with a slight blush.

Kelly's POV

I can't believe how quickly Tris, Torin, and Tobias made it all happen. I was moved into the city the next day, Zeke started working with me two days later, and one month later I was retested to see how my body was healing but there was nothing wrong with me anymore. However it did take another month to get me walking again. That was a night I will never forget. Torin took me to see the place where his father proposed to his mother. Then he picked me up and said I want to dance with you tonight. He held me close as he sung to me. Suddenly I felt cold and I realized he had let go of me. Apparently Zeke had told him I was ready to walk.

He then proposed to me by getting down on one knee. I didn't see the rest that were there watching us that night but his big extended family was there to witness the moment I walked again. I said yes in a heartbeat and just then I heard all the cheering as Torin got up and pulled me into a tight hug. "Are you ready to walk down the aisle toward me?" He had asked and I got what he was asking. I shrugged and he said, "Well time to find out." Zeke walked over as did Tobias and each of them stood on one side of me ready to catch me should I fall. I walked the 10 yards to where Torin had moved to. I collapsed in his arms and cried when I realized I was able to walk again. In about ten minutes I will be walking down the aisle toward him and he will be the one holding me up during the ceremony as I become his wife. I can't believe what started almost 16 years ago when we were just 2 has led to us becoming husband and wife. My mom and I are finally talking again. She found out the truth through a friend of hers that had learned about it when the guy got drunk at a bar one night and bragged about what he had done to me. Torin and I haven't made love yet but that doesn't matter. He loves me despite my broken parts.

Tobias always says I am like him in some ways and Torin is like Tris in a lot of ways. I guess I see what he means and because of that I am sure this love will last until the end of time.

A/N: Thank you to all who have read this story. Also a big thank you for the comments I have received. I hope you have enjoyed this story. I thought it would be fitting to finish it from the characters' POV. Having it be in Torin and Kelly's POV just happened when I was trying to find the ending and the two characters spoke up in my head saying let me tell the ending.
