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!

A big thank you to Acromania for helping my inspiration for this chapter. She may not be my beta reader but she is a wonderful person for a sounding board and letting me know if things work together.

Chapter 12

"You're still a dork Eric" Tris said as Eric walked her to the door, Vivian on his hip as he grinned.

"Yes but like I said before I'm your dork" Eric said making Tris smile.

"True. Are you taking the leftover into work tomorrow?" Tris asked watching Eric's lips turn into a bigger grin.

"Oh yes. That's my lunch and I might have to surrender a bite or two since I was raving about you're cooking so much, Max, and Dragon wanted to try it." Eric said as she shook her head laughing at him.

"Daddy? Bafroom" Vivian said lifting her head up from his shoulder, Tris pulling her key and unlocking the door, her free hand grabbing Eric's arm and dragged him into the house.

"Come with me Sweetie" Tris said taking Vivian from Eric's arms and carrying her to the main floor bathroom as Natalie and Andrew peeked out of the living room. Eric shifted nervously, knowing the last time he met her parents it didn't go so well.

"Mr. Coulter?" Andrew said coming out of the living room and extended his hand.

"Andrew Prior, our last meeting got us off on the wrong foot." Andrew said as Eric smirked slightly.

"That tends to happen to me actually. And please call me Eric. Most of the time I hear my last name and think of my father" Eric said making Andrew chuckle.

"Don't we all get like that?" Andrew said before turning his head to see Caleb at the bottom of the stairs.

"Caleb, you normally don't venture out of your room at this hour" Andrew said frowning slightly knowing he sounded a little judgmental. Caleb was a creature of habit and since his sister came home he had been changing.

"I thought I heard Beatrice" he said as Tris's laughter came from down the hall.

"She's with my daughter in the bathroom. God only knows what she can get into" Eric said as Andrew chuckled lightly.

"Natalie would know, Beatrice got into everything when she was little" Andrew said as Natalie came out of the living room and smiled when she saw Eric.

"Hello, my husband behaving?" She asked teasing her husband who simply smiled at her as she rested her hand on Caleb's shoulder.

"Well as well as can be expected" Eric said making the other two chuckle, Caleb looking confused.

"Daddy, Tis haf perdy soup" Vivian said as Tris carried her back over.

"Soap. But close enough" Tris said as Vivian frowned a little bit before smiling when she was told she had almost gotten it.

"Let me guess, it's pink?" Eric said knowing just how much his daughter loved the color.

"No, bwu"

"Blue? Well maybe we can look for blue soap when we need to get some next ok?" Eric suggested as Tris transferred her to him, Vivian's fingers moving to play with his ear plug again. Tris chuckled as she stepped forward and kissed his cheek before kissing Vivian's forehead.

"I'll see you both tomorrow for our run. We can read more of our book too." Tris said as Vivian glanced at her daddy.

"Daddy Read?" Vivian asked and Eric glanced at Tris who smiled.

"I left the book at your house. It's in her room right now. I read until she fell asleep today" Tris said and Eric nodded.

"Only a little bit tonight ok, that way Tris can read to you tomorrow" Vivian smiled and hugged Eric's neck, Tris smiling at the sight.

"I'll head home and get her to bed. I'll see you in the morning" Eric said leaning down and kissed Tris's forehead making her smile.

"Tomorrow" Tris said watching Eric look up at her parents.

"It was nice meeting you both properly." Eric said.

"It was nice seeing you both" Natalie said as Andrew smiled.

"Hopefully we will see you again" Andrew said as Eric opened the door and let himself out.

"Hopefully" Eric agreed as he started towards his Truck and got Vivian into her car seat before driving home to put her to bed. Tris was all smiles as she went up and got into bed, Natalie and Andrew sharing a look as she went.

"What do you think of him?" Natalie asked Andrew as he stared up the stairs after his daughter, Caleb standing at the bottom of the stairs still looking uncomfortable.

"I think if I can get him a little better I can overlook his pierced ears and bold tattoos. Beatrice seemed to like him, and he looked like a good father. I'll give him a chance" Andrew said as Natalie smiled.

"That's all she wants"

Tris was up early the next morning and ready to go, her father leaving his room, doing up his tie he smiled at her.

"Want a ride over again this morning?" He asked as Tris smiled.

"Only if you are going that way." Tris said as they went down the stairs together, Tris grabbing an apple as she passed through the kitchen, Andrew grabbing his coffee as they left the house together and got into the simple grey car.

"You two seem close, not like most couples though" Andrew remarked as he they got into the car and he started driving.

"We aren't in a lot of ways but we work that way." Tris said giving him a grin before taking a bite into her apple.

"Well you two are comfortable together I will give you that" Andrew said as he drove towards Eric's house. Tris just smiled as he drove, munching on her apple before frowning as she spotted the light blue Mercedes in Eric's driveway.

"I really don't want to deal with her." Tris moaned dropping her head back, Andrew frowning as a blonde woman got out of the Mercedes as Tris did.

"Who?"

"Suzanne. Vivian's mother and Eric's ex-fiancée" Tris said before closing the door, Andrew getting out of the car, to make sure everything went ok.

"You are that stupid girl that watched the brat when I broke off my engagement with Eric" Suzanne sneered as Tris snorted.

"Yes and that Brat happens to be a wonderful little girl" Tris said doing her best to keep from crossing her arms over her chest.

"You're dating him now? Pretending to be his little wifey?" Suzanne said with a little smirk, Tris unable to help the giggle that escaped her.

"Yes I'm dating Eric, but I'm also the delightful child's nanny" Tris said smiling.

"TIS!" Vivian yelled running from the house, and into Tris's arms. Tris spun the two of them around and gave Vivian a kiss on the forehead.

"Did you sleep well sweetie?" Tris asked softly as Eric came out of the house shaking his head.

"Normally you have to wait for me, but since Tris was here you're ok this time" Eric said as Vivian looked over to her daddy.

"Yes Daddy" Vivian said before playing with Tris's hair which was still loose.

"Morning Eric" Andrew said as Tris glanced over her shoulder at her father.

"Morning Andrew. How was your night?" Eric asked ignoring his ex, his arms sliding around both Tris and Vivian with a smile on his lips.

"It was a nice night. Perhaps you and Vivian can come over for dinner one night soon" Andrew offered and Eric smiled.

"If your wife cooks as well as Tris does then we will be there" Eric said as Andrew chuckled.

"Well Tris did cook this past weekend and we are not sure who's better in the house." Andrew said as Tris blushed a little bit.

"I'll see you both later, I have another early meeting." Andrew said before waving.

"Bye dad" Tris called as Vivian waved shyly before looking at Tris.

"Run?" She asked knowing it was a morning routine that they normally did.

"Shorty Princess you still need your socks, shoes and sweater before we leave" Eric said as Tris head towards the house with her bag and went to get Vivian ready for the day.

"Morning Suzanne" Eric said coldly as he eyed his ex as calmly as he could.

"Morning Eric. Do tell me what you think about dating the little child." Suzanne sneered as Eric chuckled.

"Tris is not a child, but you're acting like one" Eric said before looking her over before turning back to the house, Suzanne stuttering as Eric left his lips turning up into a grin as he closed the front door on his fuming ex.

"Eric did you really just leave her out there fuming?" Tris asked as she came down the stairs with Vivian, watching Eric's eyes dance with humor.

"I'm not going to be nice to her when she's well deserving of how I treat her." Eric said as he grabbed his sweater, Tris sitting and Eric kneeling to help Vivian put on her shoes, Eric even helping Tris, his fingers trailing over her leg slowly making her smile at him.

"Stop flirting and lets go for our run" Tris said getting up, Eric chuckling as he moved and helped Tris to her feet the two of them leaving the house With Vivian in the stroller, Tris's hair moved off her face in a ponytail. The two of them were laughing as Tris locked the house and they started down the street, Vivian babbling away as they ran together, Eric bumping into Tris and he doing it right back.
