Authors Note: No matter how many time I wish upon a star: Eric will never ever belong to me. Nor will Tris and Eric be a couple.*sob*

Fanfiction is written for the Author's enjoyment. I write for my readers too but if you don't like the pairing please don't send me reviews or pms saying it sucks. I'm not forcing you to read it. You chose to read this and you can stop at any time. I'm all for constructive criticism or even idea's (you will be credited for giving me it) and I'm not a mean person I swear!

Notes for My readers

Chapter 6

Tris checked her phone for the tenth time in five minutes making her mother chuckle at her.

"Are you nervous?"

"Were you, for your first interview?" Tris asked thinking how similar it sounded to when she asked her mother about taking the test to see where she fit in the high school.

"No. I was Terrified." Natalie said remembering it as well, giving her daughter a familiar smile.

"I mean after this morning I shouldn't be but I am anyways" Tris said playing with the ends of her hair that she was wearing half up and down.

"Well you like him on top of the fact that he is offering you a job" Natalie said as Tris nodded and glanced at the time.

"I haven't heard anything from him so I'm assuming that I'm meeting him at the park still. Do I look ok mom?" Tris asked as she stood up and modeled from her mom.

"You look very pretty but still respectable. Did Lynn do your nails or did you do it last night?" Natalie said taking Tris's hands in hers and looked over the black nails, the dauntless symbol over red and orange on each of her index fingers.

"I did it. Lynn got her toes done this way. The symbol is on her big toes though" Tris said before giving her mom a shaky smile.

"Wish me luck"

"You'll be fine Beatrice. You are a wonder with children and this one is no different" Natalie said giving Tris a hug before watching her daughter grab her bag and leave the house, making her way to the park on foot, her headphones in her ears listening to her newest favourite song called New Thang by Redfoo. As Tris entered the park she tucked her headphones and ipod into her bag and started walking towards the playground.

"It's mine!" Tris heard Vivian's voice, Tris pausing to look over to see two boys a little older and bigger than Vivian holding her stuffed rabbit from that morning out of her reach as she tried to get it. Looking around Tris spotted Eric arguing with a woman that could be his mother and Suzanne was next to them.

"Gives it back!" Vivian cried tears welling up in her eyes.

"Thank you boys" Tris said plucking the rabbit from the boy's hands and when the boys turned to face her, their mothers coming over Tris simply ignored them and kneeled down and opened her arms for Vivian who gladly went into them, her head resting onto her shoulder.

"Oh sweetie you're still warm. Are you feeling ok?" Tris asked smoothing Vivian's hair back.

"Sweepy but wants to be with you" Vivian said cuddling close as Tris offered her back her rabbit. Placing Vivian on her hip Tris stood and looked over the boys and their mothers.

"Don't pick on anyone. Especially little girls." Tris said calmly but firmly as Eric made his way over to them.

"Still not feeling good Princess?" Eric asked Vivian as she shook her head but held tighter to Tris, who looked up at him with a gentle smile.

"I got her." Eric smiled back and pushed some of her hair over her shoulder, his fingers lingering on her exposed skin.

"I know you do" Eric's hand moved to her back before he let his eyes travel over the boys.

"Daddy? I no wanna sleeps" Vivian said lifting her head as Eric turned his attention back to her.

"You don't have to Princess" Eric said watching as Vivian lay her head back down and Tris and Eric started walking to the shade. By the time they were on the bench in the shade, Vivian was sleeping, her thumb was in her mouth.

"So since we didn't talk about a job this morning I guess you want to do that now" Tris said as she looked over at him, leaning back so Vivian was reclined against her chest.

"Well how much different would it be if I had you living with me to living out?"

"A couple hundred more if I don't. Mostly to cover transportation costs and other things." Tris said as Eric looked thoughtful.

"What is a normal pay rate?"

"Most ask for more but I'll go with the standard of $12.50 an hour." Tris said as Eric's jaw dropped.

"What?"

"My last boss said that too. Military man, and had a hard time raising his triplets alone. He paid me $75 an hour. $25 for each child. Other nanny's charge $30 or more per hour." Tris said as Eric shook his head.

"$12.50 isn't enough. But what about hours?"

"They don't want us working more than 40 hours a week if we live out but I'm always willing to do what I can." Tris said as Eric rubbed his thumb over his lower lip.

"So if I said I wanted you to work from 7 am to about 5 pm every day during the week, cook meals for Vivian and start dinner for me…."

"I would say give me a list of what you prefer and if there are allergies and I would go from there. Although I should say I do trip jars. I would let you know before but I would take her out to go to the zoo or a museum one afternoon."

"So the money would be place in the jar and the jar used for any expenses?" Eric asked as Tris nodded as she shifted Vivian, the toddler whimpering softly. Tris ran her fingers through Vivian's hair and whispered that she was ok, Vivian calming again.

"You're very good with her. Most people don't try to get close to her."

"Well you do have a reputation Eric" Tris said as Eric chuckled and got closer to Tris and wrapped his arm around Tris's shoulders again, his fingers rubbing circles on her skin.

"That shouldn't matter." Eric said firmly before his gaze softened.

"Sorry I just don't see how I look should affect how they treat her." Tris looked around the park before laying her head on his arm.

"People are shallow" Tris said as she glanced at him. She had noticed and knew that Eric had noticed most parents and their children avoided coming their way because of how they looked. Eric's fingers paused in his circles on her arm as Vivian stirred again only to lean over away from both Tris and Eric and throw up. Tris shifted Vivian in her arms and smoothed back her hair.

"It's okay sweetie, I got you" Tris said gently as Eric started packing up the stroller and crouched by as he looked at Vivian.

"Let's get you home princess and get some soup you can watch a movie in your pj's ok?" Eric suggested as Vivian nodded her eyes bright with a rising fever.

"Tis come too?" Vivian asked as Tris gently wiped Vivian's mouth and gave her some water to sip.

"If you want me to then I will" Tris said glancing at Eric who was wearing a slight grin.

"Only if you have no other plans. I don't want to be taking you from something else" Eric said as Tris stood with Vivian the toddler whimpering softly as she was taken from Tris and into her father's arms, his fingers stroking her hair slowly.

"Actually I didn't have anything planned" Tris said as she took over steering the stroller, double checking the bench and ground for something they might have forgotten before walking in stride with Eric. Watching as Eric put Vivian in her car seat, after she had folded up the stroller and traded spots as he placed it into the back of the truck.

"Need a hand up?" he asked appearing behind Tris, his hands warm on her back.

"I can get it" Tris said before squeaking as Eric lifted her up anyways and placed her in the passenger seat. Tris glared at him with a pout on her lips as Eric got into the truck on the driver's side and started it.

"You still have a tiny waist" Eric said as he pulled out of the parking lot and head towards his house, his eyes darting to Vivian in the back seat.

"You know when you mentioned it the first time it was strange. I was sixteen" Tris pointed out as Eric chuckled.

"I know. I realized it after when I was driving home. Your list helped me though, at least when it came to making sure I had everything I needed." Tris glanced over her shoulder at Vivian and watched as she cuddled her bunny close.

"I'm glad that it did. I was worried when I was away, since you were on your own." Tris said before looking back at him.
