- Alternate Chapter Title: Shauna= 0, Dauntless Cake= 1

I decided to listen to Zeke for once in my life. Bee and I got dressed for dinner to meet the others. We bundled up in thick winter coats and Bee wrapped my scarf I gave her tightly around her neck. I smile when I see it. "You know, when Christina sees you, she's going to say something along the lines of 'that scarf clashes with your outfit'."

Bee raises her gloved hand and touches it. "But I got it as a gift from you. And I don't even know what 'clashes with your outfit' even means. Factionless miss out on the hip terms you people use."

I laugh and place my hand on her back to lead her out the door. "You'll learn, in due time."

She's quiet for a moment, a blush creeping upon her cheeks, and says. "Tobias? Yesterday, when I said I knew what a grilled cheese was, I was lying."

"I know, Bee." And I lock the door behind her.

Outside, the harsh winter wind whips at our faces. It's a lot colder now with the sun down, but we don't have to walk far to get on the train. Snowflakes slowly float downward, landing in my brown hair and the thick blond waves of Bees. I take a quick glance at her catching a snowflake on her tongue. I think about how tasting a snowflake brought me to this new adventure, becoming a parent of a child. She catches me watching, so I turn my head up and catch one on my tongue as well. Once we arrive at the train station, I lead Bee to a seat while I stand next to her. Her legs move up and down quickly. "Why are you so fidgety?" I ask.

"Because I'm excited!" She replies.

I smile softly at her enthusiasm though I'm not really sure exactly what she's excited for. "For our dinner?"

"Yes that. But this too. I've never been on a train before." Then the train starts to slowly move and her head becomes glued to a window, watching the buildings and snow covered trees pass by quickly. I smile and enjoy the easy ride myself. Once we get off and are making our way to the restaurant that's near the old Amity sector, I grab her hand and tell her about how the trains used to be.

"You mean to tell me, you jumped on and off a moving train?" She looks at me incredulous. I nod. She smiles. "Wow. That's cool."

We enter the restaurant, aptly named "The Apple Orchard" after the many apple trees that used to grow in Amity and happened to appear in my dreams the night before. I tell the hostess I'm meeting a group and she points to a large table in the back. As I approach I hear Zeke say, "Would I trade you for one piece of Dauntless cake, Shauna? No. But if we're talking about a life time supply, well-" He's cut off by a slap to the chest from Shauna. They all laugh and look up towards my direction. Christina and Zeke look calm as their eyes land on Bee. Caleb, Cara and Shauna, however, have many different emotions. Cara's face looks as if she's trying to figure out how old Bee is, and relate it back to my very empty dating timeline. Shauna looks at Bee with utter shock and borderline anger. Then she turns to Zeke, hissing "Did you know about this?" And, finally, Caleb is taking in every feature on Bee's face and comparing it to my own. I stop them before they explode with unknown knowledge. "You guys. I want you to meet someone." I look at Bee, hinting at her to introduce herself.

She clears her throat. "Good evening everyone. Please hold your questions till the conclusion of my story." I bite my lip and shake my head, containing my laughter. "My name is Beatrice. Yes, Beatrice. I was named in honor of your friend Tris by my mother. My mother's name was Lauren and she used to be a Dauntless instructor. She died three years ago. I don't know my real father. But Tobias has decided to become my father and take me up off the streets and teach me thing like what a grilled cheese really is. And I am now living with him. Okay, any questions?"

Everyone's silent for a moment, soaking up her words. After a few seconds, Caleb, Cara and Shauna look at each other then say. "No."

I take my coat and Bee's as well. "Great. Have you guys ordered yet?"

Halfway through the meal, Bee left the table to use the restroom, reassuring me that she was old enough to figure it out on her own. After she leaves, I look around the table. Shauna has her hand placed against her heart.

"Tobias. I'm so happy for you. I think this is what you needed the whole time."

I smile at her and nod my thanks. I look at Caleb and I see him chewing his lip, the way Tris used to. "Did you know she was named Beatrice?"

"No. I didn't at first." I explain to them what I saw on my way to work that morning and was immediately drawn to her because her bravery and selflessness. Her name being Beatrice happened to be an ironic shock.

Caleb nods. "It seems her legacy has touched more people than we originally presumed."

Cara murmurs an agreement. "I had always assumed her sacrifice would simply blend amongst the other fallen hero's stories of sacrifice. Its inspiring to know she made such an impact even among the factionless."

An hour or so pass, and soon my friends and I are once again wrapped in thick winter coats heading our separate ways, planning our next get together. I take Bee's hand and we walk silently towards the train station. She looks back at the dead apple trees, its limbs encased by a thin layer of ice. "We can come back in the fall. It's much prettier to look at," I whisper and tug her along so we don't miss our train.

When we arrive back at the apartment, Bee is dead on her feet, and I pick her up and carefully take off her extra layers of clothing and shoes. With her eyes closed and her breathing even, she lets me unravel her scarf, remove her gloves and strip away her coat. "You know, I'm not a baby. I usually would do this myself."

"Just let me take care of you, okay? You're not a baby." I lay her down on the couch and cover her with multiple blankets.

"Mm'kay. Good. I'm only allowing you to help because I'm real tired..." She wiggles a bit beneath the covers to get fully comfortable. "Tobias? Would it be ok if I called you dad? I mean, is that what you are?"

I inhale sharply. Then I lean down and kiss her forehead. "Yes, Bee. I'm your dad."

Might be a little sudden for you guys, but we're about to jump forward six years and run into some trouble. Are you ready to join me?
