Chapter 7

Tris and Eric kept up small talk the whole way to his house, Tris's jaw dropping when she was able to see the property that he had.

"Wow." Tris said as she hopped out of the truck Eric already unloading Vivian from her car seat.

"That's most people's response" Eric said chuckling as Vivian reached for Tris who took her without a second thought. Tris rubbed her fingers over the toddlers back as she walked to the front door with Eric who had his hand on her back.

"ERIC!" a sharp voice said making Tris look over to see Suzanne and Eric's mother standing there getting out of their car. Eric sighed and opened the front door letting Tris in before him.

"Not now. Vivian is sick" Eric said as Tris kicked off her shoes and sat on the stairs and took off Vivian's shoes and rubbed her back gently.

"No. It's my time to see her" Suzanne said firmly going to snatch Vivian from Tris making the child cry out and Tris to jump to her feet her eyes blazing. Vivian cried out she felt Suzanne hold her tight before Tris grabbed a bucket in time for Vivian to throw up into it.

"Tis?" Vivian asked softly tears in her voice, her arms out for the other.

"Come here sweetie" Tris said as she took Vivian firmly into her arms and smoothed back her hair before kissing her forehead.

"Her room in the third on the left upstairs" Eric said as Tris nodded and walked up the stairs to Vivian's room and set the young girl down and helped her get changed into her pajama's before grabbing Vivian's brush and sat on the bed with her before brushing the blonde locks slowly before braiding it.

"Let's get you something to drink and we can watch a movie." Tris said before carrying Vivian downstairs and followed Eric's voice to the kitchen. Vivian played with Tris's hair as Tris placed her hand on Eric's arm.

"Can I have free reign in your kitchen?" Tris asked him softly, Vivian sighing as she got comfortable.

"Of course you can." Eric said before leading Suzanne and his mother to the living room, Tris intent on making something for Vivian to drink that would help her stomach. Tris set Vivian down as she worked in the kitchen finding what she needed quickly, the two women ignoring Eric as they came back. Eric stood behind them his arms crossed before he smiled watching Tris move like she had been living with him. When the tea was ready and she had the soup simmering Tris picked Vivian up again and held her, allowing the toddler to be cuddled. Tris knew Eric could only do so much and even she could tell at two and a half Vivian was wanting a woman in her life that she actually liked.

"Tis it hurts" Vivian said whining softly, Eric's mother ready to step in when Eric's hand landed on her shoulder.

"What hurts sweetie?" Tris asked as she stirred the soup with one hand before she looked at Vivian.

"Tummy" Vivian said as Tris pressed a kiss to Vivian's forehead and picked up the cup and lifted it to Vivian's lips.

"Take small sips ok, it will help" Tris said as she felt Vivian take the cup gently, keeping a hand on it just in case she dropped it. Vivian handed Tris back the cup and she set it down before turning down the soup a little more and pressed her forehead to Vivian's as the toddler closed her eyes.

"That girl, who is she?" Suzanne snapped rounding on Eric, who smirked.

"I guess one Stupid girl looks like another to you, but that is the one that took care of Vivian when you dropped her off at the school" Eric said before Suzanne smirked.

"You're dating a student? You're going to get fired for that"

"Actually she graduated from the school and just got back from France where she was in university." Eric said watching as the grin fell from Suzanne's face.

"So not only is she legally datable, she's also not my student. Hell Max, my boss already knows since he saw us flirting." Eric said before looking up as Tris walked over with Vivian.

"She wants her daddy" Tris said as Vivian held out her arms to Eric who took her and let her cuddle into him.

"Want to go watch a movie Princess? You can eat some soup in the living room" Eric said as Tris vanished back to the kitchen and found what she was looking for and put a little bit of the soup into a bowl for Vivian and made sure the tea was cool enough for her to drink without trouble. Hearing the front door open and close Tris made her way to the living room and set the bowl and cup down making sure the lid was on it properly. Vivian looked sleepily up from Eric shoulder as he sat them down on the couch.

"Soup?" Vivian asked softly as Tris took the napkin and the spoon and gave it to Vivian gently.

"What movie do you want to watch Princess?"

"Princess" Vivian said pouting as Eric set her down.

"I'll be right back Princess." Eric said before moving to the cabinet and looked for the movie Vivian was referring to, Tris feeding Vivian another mouthful. Vivian was a sweet child but she was also sick at the moment and clingy. Eric put the movie in and sat back down again, Vivian curling into his side. Tris chuckled as she gave Vivian more soup before letting her sip the tea she had made. When she was done the bowl Vivian pouted until Tris joined Eric and her on the couch and cuddled Vivian, Eric's arm wrapped around them both.

"She likes the movie the Little Princess?" Tris asked as the credits started rolling, Vivian asleep in the crook of Eric's other arm, and Tris now curled into his side. They had changed positions at some point during the movie but she wasn't going to complain.

"She loves it. It's her favourite." Eric said before glancing at Vivian who was sleeping to Tris tucked under his other arm comfortably.

"Does it have anything to do with the fact that you call her Princess?" Tris asked as Eric chuckled.

"We watched it actually shortly after her first birthday and after she pointed to herself and asked if she was a Princess too, and said she was. Ever since then this has been her favourite movie." Eric said as Tris shifted a little bit, her leg pressing against his.

"There's a book too. I have a copy of it somewhere at home. I can always bring it over for her. What about the Secret Garden?" Tris asked as Eric frowned.

"The what?"

"I'll bring the movie and book over. Maybe I can get her out of an all Princess stage" Tris said as Eric's fingers rubbed her arm before the sound of the phone made them jump. Passing the phone to Eric, Tris got comfortable back under his arm. It was natural to be this affectionate with him.

"Hello?" Eric said before he bit his lower lip, Tris looking at him confused.

"It slipped our minds too actually. My daughter got sick and she insisted on Tris coming home with us. I can drive her home thought" Eric said as Tris made a sheepish face.

"Here she is" Eric said passing the phone to Tris who was blushing a little bit.

"Hi?"

"Beatrice Prior, don't you do that sheepish Hi with me. You had me worried. Tobias and his father Marcus are sitting in the living room demanding you come home. If you're not coming home now I can understand." Natalie said, Tris able to hear her mother pacing back and forth in the kitchen.

"I'm sorry mom. If Eric has no problem with it I'd like to stay, and hopefully miss Marcus and Tobias entirely. Maybe tell them I'm tied up with a job interview or something like that" Tris said frowning as she thought of what would be understandable.

"Or just tell them she is getting used to her new job and going over details providing she still wants to" Eric said pulling the phone away from Tris's ear and speaking to Natalie as Tris smiled and rolled her eyes at him.

"Or that. But I'll tell you more about it when I get home ok mom?"

"Ok Dear. You better tell me. I'll tell your father you got the job." Natalie said softly smiling into the phone.

"I love you" Tris said as Eric watched her.

"I love you more" Natalie said, Eric able to hear her.

"I love you most" Natalie laughed lightly as they hung up Eric raising an eyebrow at Tris as she placed the phone on the charger.

"Do I want to know?"

"A Rapunzel movie called Tangled. My mom and I saw it and we've said it to each other ever since. I'll bring it over, Vivian might like it. I have a lot of movies that she might like to see, mostly Princess." Tris said as Eric chuckled and shifted Vivian onto the couch and stood before covering her with a light blanket and held his hand out to Tris.

"Let's go to the Kitchen and talk, I want to let her sleep" Eric said leading Tris to the kitchen, his fingers linking with hers, neither of them noticing.
