We back! I hope ya'll are here because the website has been cutting up! Thank you for reading! Love Y'all!


Shauna sighs and looks at the computer screen in her office. She had been keeping to herself since Tobias and Lynn's altercation in the cafeteria but knowing that people were watching her, made her even more nervous. She hears a knock at her door and looks up as Tobias enters.

"What do you want? I already sent the weekly report in"

Tobias furrows his eyebrows at her tone. He'd been wrapped up in him and Tris moving in together and spending some time getting used to the idea of being parents during the blizzard. Then he'd been dealing with the attack on Abnegation. He felt bad but he wanted to check in on his friend.

"What's up with you? I haven't seen you around at all… Are you still mad at me?"

Shauna bites her lip and doesn't look at him. She hoped he would pick up on the fact that she didn't want to talk.

"I've just been busy working, and I'm busy now so…"

Tobias steps closer. Even if Shauna were upset, he'd never known her to act like this.

"Are you okay? You know you can talk to me, Shauna. I'm here for you, I mean it" He reassures her.

Tears burn her eyes. She wanted to tell him what was happening but needed to figure out how. The fact that Eric threatened Hector, who was only 12 scared her.

"Please, just leave me alone" she whispers.

Tobias nods and walks out. He gives her one last look before he goes back to the Pire.

Shauna wipes a tear away from her cheek. When she gets up to close the door to her office, she shivers as she sees one of the kitchen cooks staring at her.


Tris giggles as Tobias kisses her neck and runs his hands up her sides. Her morning sickness had finally subsided and she was not shy about wanting Tobias all the time. They were still finding their groove with living together arguing over dishes left in the sink or who used the last of the toothpaste, but their squabbles usually ended with them kissing and making up not long after.

She arches her back and gasps as Tobias pulls her chocolate nipple into his mouth. He loved the changes to Tris' body. Her breasts were fuller, she had a small curve to her abdomen that only he could notice.

"Tobias…' Tris moans as he moves his tongue into her folds. She squirms and his hand holds down her hips. He keeps going at a steady pace, painting designs on her flesh. Her legs tremble and shake as he climaxes. Tobias chuckles when she squirms to get away.

"I love it when you say my name" he confesses as he slides back up, settling between her legs. He braces his arms on either side of her head.

She giggles running her hands over his face, he hadn't shaved in a week, and the beard he was growing made him even more attractive.

"You are so sexy Tris, I can't get enough," he says in a low husky voice that makes her shiver. She bucks her hips up, her thighs sticky.

"I need you Tobias ... please" she whimpers.

He doesn't make her wait, unable to hold himself back anymore. He rocks into her, both of them moaning at the connection. Tris wraps her legs around his waist. They move together, the room filled with their labored breaths as they push each other higher and higher.

"I love you Tobias" Tris gasps, knowing she's close to coming undone. Tobias can't hold out any longer and he thrusts faster and harder. Tris tightens her legs around his waist and holds on as he buries his face in her neck.

He grunts as he releases himself, his thrusts slowing and she cries out again. "I love you too" he grins, giving her a quick kiss before rolling off of her.

"What are you thinking about?" he asks after they've both cleaned up and are back in bed, noticing she seemed lost in thought.

"Do you think we'd be having a baby if we were still in Abnegation?" Tris asks as Tobias slides into bed with her and kisses her bare shoulder.

"Maybe, If we were going to be put into an arranged marriage, we would probably be married already…"

Tris smiles at the idea and pulls Tobias' arms tighter around her.

"Are you ready for this?" Tobias asks after a few moments and moves his hand down to her womb.

He chuckles when she snorts a laugh out. "No, but I think we can do it together," she tells him honestly.

"Tobias…." Tris whispers again, enjoying the feel of his hands on her belly.

"Hmmmmm ?"

"Are you worried about having to face your mother…." She couldn't imagine how she would feel if she was in his shoes. They both had hatred toward Andrew and Marcus, but she could tell he was still hurt that his mother wanted nothing to do with him. Natalie and Hana had both been mothering him a bit more, showing him extra attention but Tris knew him well enough to know it wasn't enough.

He takes a deep breath before responding as he gathers his thoughts.

"I don't want to see her, but I know what I have to do. I won't let her or anyone hurt our family."

Tris snuggles closer to him, lacing her fingers with his. "I know you'll protect us"

Tobias drops a kiss on her shoulder. He loved that they were able to have this closeness now. It was something about the quiet time after they made love, lying in bed just talking, it was comforting. Even though he naturally opened up to her, he thought for a moment about sharing something he had done the day before while she was spending time with Natalie and Hana.

"I went into my fear landscape again…"

Tris turns, her eyebrows furrowed and looks at him. "Why?" She had been through his fear landscape during initiation when he helped coach her to hide her divergence. She shuddered thinking about their shared fears of being abused by Marcus and Andrew, and not being able to save the other.

He thinks about it for a moment. "I wanted to see if it changed…."

Tris raises an eyebrow waiting for him to respond.

"You're still there, but now so is the baby…it's a boy just like you want.." He tells her, his voice cracking a bit with emotion.

She leans in and kisses him softly.

"Andrew's dead and Marcus can never hurt us again" She reassures him.

Tobias kisses her on the forehead and they settle in for the night. Maybe Marcus couldn't hurt them anymore, but he was worried someone else could.


Tobias stops in his office to do some paperwork and gather a report that Max needs before their next meeting. The task force was buzzing with the news of the antidote for the serum but wanted to keep the information as quiet as possible, not sharing it outside of the group.

Zeke comes in and drops on the couch in the office in a huff.

"You look like shit" Tobias observes leaning back in his chair. "You and Uri go out drinking on a weekday?"

"Tori and I had a... disagreement two nights ago…." That is all Zeke says pausing to find the right words. He tossed and turned all night, he hoped that once she had time to calm down things would be okay between them.

"Want to talk about it?"

Zeke groans and then sits up placing his elbows on his knees.

"She found out that George is alive…and under the influence of the serum…I've never seen her this angry or hurt. She kicked me out the other night, I tried to give her some space to cool down but she slammed the door in my face this morning... "

"Damn…" Tobias grunts. There had been so much going on that he honestly had forgotten about that detail or that Tori didn't know. If he learned anything from the past year, keeping secrets wasn't good. "What does Amar think?"

Zeke wipes his face. He had wanted to tell Tori everything from the beginning but Amar had convinced him keeping her in the dark was the right decision.

"He's talking to her now…hoping to get her to see what we did was to protect her. She's pissed at him too though so I don't know if he can get her to see reason."

Tobias nodded, this wasn't good but he also knew they didn't have time for any more distractions right now.

"I was going to ask Shauna what I should do. You know get a woman's perspective on how to apologize. Things are kind of crazy, I don't think I'll be able to get any roses from Amity..." Zeke says after a moment he stops as he looks at his best friend. "Why are you looking like that"

Tobias was over his best friend being oblivious about Shauna's feelings.

"Well first, Shauna probably isn't the best person to ask for advice about Tori" Tobias explains with a dry look to show how serious he is.

Zeke scoffs and gets up to pace a bit.

"Why not? I know I haven't seen her around lately, I need to check in on her anyway, I've been pulling double shifts in the control room..."

"Zeke seriously…." Tobias sighs and shakes his head.

"What?"

"Shauna has been avoiding you for a while and not interested in hearing about you and Tori all this time because she was in love with you"

Zeke's mouth falls open and he blinks as he registers what Tobias is telling him.

"Bullshit," he says after the shock wears off.

"I can't believe you really never saw it…She and I spent a lot of late nights lamenting and drinking over you and Tris"

Zeke thinks about it and looks at his best friend and a light bulb goes off.

"Shauna is who you were fucking? How did I miss this?" Zeke exclaims finally putting all the pieces together.

Tobias throws his head back and groans. What was the point in lying about it now?

"The same way you missed that Shauna was into you, asshole. Anyway, I went to talk to her today and she was acting so strange. At first, I thought she was still upset about how things ended with us and all the fallout from Tris messing around on Lynn but it's something else…"

"What else could it be?" Zeke wonders.

"I don't know, but I've never seen her like that…It was almost as if she was afraid of something."


Tori paces back and forth in her apartment. She was in no mood to talk right now.

"We didn't mean to hurt you, I just thought…" Amar tries to explain.

"You don't get to decide what I can't and can't handle Amar" she snaps.

Amar closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He needed to fix this, he had no idea Tori would fly off the handle like this.

"The antidote is ready, maybe we can…"

"That's not the point Amar. You are my best friend… I only had you and I let myself…" Tori chokes up at the last part, thinking about Zeke.

"Look be pissed at me, but don't be mad at Zeke. He was only going along with what I wanted. I convinced him that you had been through so much, it was best to keep this from you. He loves you, Tori. He really does."

Tori was done listening. Her brother was all she had and he had been taken away from her just because he was divergent.

"Get out…I'm done talking" she snaps.

Amar sighs. Hopefully, he or Zeke would be able to get through to her.


Max, Harrison, Victoria, Tobias, Zeke, and Chavis are in the conference room going over the morning report. Zeke smiles when he sees Tori hoping she was feeling up to talking since he hadn't spoken to her in two days, trying to give her space. His smile quickly fades when he takes in her appearance. Her hair was disheveled, and she had dark circles under her eyes.

"Tori…" Tobias says she walks in. Everyone jumps up when she walks right up to Max and pulls a gun out of the pocket of her hoodie.

"Tori…. put the gun down…." Max urges.

"You did this, all this time, all the lies…You took my brother away from me. He's an experiment now because of you" Tori sobs, her hand shaking and tears streaming down her face.

"Tori, this is bigger than that, I need you to listen…" Max urges. Tobias and Victoria move slowly to get in behind Tori. All her attention was focused on Max.

"Listen, why should I listen to any of you," She screams but still not dropping the gun.

"Because we have a plan to get George back, but we need you to take it easy…" Harrison says with his hands up and keeping his voice soft and soothing. He could tell Tori was hurting. If she wanted to shoot Max she would have done it already.

"You have everything, your family…" She stammers, feeling all the hurt and rage "George was all I had left…"

"Tori, Baby, please…please don't do this. You have me, you have Amar…," Zeke tells her, staying still.

Tori turns her eyes from Max to Zeke and her arm trembles, the emotions overwhelming her. Zeke approaches slowly, his hands still raised.

"You said you loved me…" Tori whimpers as tears roll down her eyes.

"And I still do, I love you so much," Zeke tells her honestly, moving closer.

Tori drops her arm holding the gun and sobbing. Zeke grabs it, puts the safety on tosses it to Tobias, and quickly pulls Tori into his arms. Tori felt her body go weak as Zeke held her up as she sobbed.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" he whispers over and over again stroking her hair, tears falling from his own eyes.

Max places his hands on his hips and hangs his head. He had to atone for what he'd done and he needed to start with Tori.


"I gave her a sedative," Hana says, coming out of Tori's bedroom with her medical bag. "She should sleep through the night, but I want someone to keep an eye on her"

Zeke nods, Amar was the only other person who he would want to stay with her but she was upset with both of them. After a conversation, Christina offered to stay with her, thinking that it would be good to be a familiar face and someone she wasn't upset with.

"Thanks, Ma," Zeke says quietly.

Hana can hear the defeat in his voice.

"I messed up, I never wanted to hurt her. This is just...It's so much with the war and we don't know who to trust and..."

Hana grabs her oldest son and pulls him into a hug holding him tightly until she hears him let out a deep breath, then pulls away.

"Give her some space and then be there for her, I think you two can make it sweetheart, I really do. She loves you and I know you love her. We are all doing the best we can right now. It's messy and not perfect but we have to keep on living"

Zeke takes a deep breath through his nose and puts his hands on his hips. He was frustrated and he had to do something, he just wasn't sure what it was just yet.


When Tori wakes she groans. She tried to remember what she was doing to make her sleep so hard, she didn't even remember going to bed. She sits up and all the events of the day before come back to her.

"Oh my God" she whispers and closes her eyes again.

Christina knocks on the doorframe of the open door with a glass of water in her hand.

"I'm glad you're awake," She tells her as she walks to the edge of the bed and hands Tori the water while sitting on the end of the bed.

"Did I really do what I think I did?" Tori asks after drinking half of the water.

Christina nods with a sympathetic look on her face.

"Fuck, what was I thinking? I'm shocked I'm not in a holding cell right now" Tori groans.

"Are you hungry? I got some food from the dining hall last night and there's leftovers"

Tori nods but a knock comes from the front door.

"I'll start some coffee and see who it is, while you get dressed," Christina tells her.

"It's probably Max and the other leaders coming to haul me off to the holding cells" Tori quips as Christina chuckles. Christina was glad Tori seemed to be feeling more like herself. She'd been shocked when Amar asked her to sit with her.

A few minutes later, Tori walks into the living room, tying her robe around her waist tighter with her head down.

"Who was at the door Chris..." she stops when she looks up and stops when she sees Max and Hana standing there.

"Shit..." Tori pauses for a moment thinking her joke earlier might be a reality.

"Do you feel up to talking Tori?" Hana asks softly as Christina putters in the kitchen pouring two cups of coffee.

"Ummmm yeah..." she whispers and motions toward the kitchen table.

"I'm going to check in at the control room, I'll check on you later today," Christina tells Tori, feeling like she should give them some privacy. She places a hand on her shoulder and squeezes as she sets a third cup of coffee in front of Tori. Tori grabs her hand and squeezes it in return.

"Thanks, Chris"

When the door closes, Tori awkwardly looks down at the cup of coffee in front of her not sure of what to say.

"I owe you more than an apology, Tori but give me a chance to make this right," Max says quietly breaking the awkward tension. "I was looking at the good of Dauntless when I weighed all the information from Jeanine. All I knew was that we had a threat coming and she presented an opportunity to help us solve the problem. I know now that it was a mistake to try and take the easy route but I wanted to save people instead of losing people from fighting a war with the Factionless"

"How are you going to make it right? I can't get back the past year and a half, George can't get back this time either, what if he can't recover from this?" Tori fires back.

"Just hear him out, Tori" Hana urges. Tori takes a deep breath. She respected Hana so much, and her voice provided a soothing effect helping her to calm down.

"I can't answer that, but as soon as we get through this war, I'll turn myself in and step down as the leader of Dauntless," Max tells her wanting to be as honest as possible.

Tori is surprised. She folds her arms across her chest. Max was making it really difficult to stay angry.

"Well...I guess I can understand why you need to stay a leader right now" Tori concedes thinking about everything that they were doing to fight against Erudite and the Factionless.

"I'm trying to make it right, Tori...I'm sorry and I'll do everything I can to bring George home and I want you to hold me accountable if you think I'm not doing enough" Max vows.

Tori nodded, she could accept that for now. Even though she was angry, she knew Max was a good leader. Working closely with him on the task force had allowed her to see it firsthand. When Max excuses himself to handle some things Hana lingers for a moment.

"What's going on with you and Zeke? Have you talked to him?" Hana inquires. She never wanted to meddle in her sons' love lives but she felt like Tori just needed a little nudge.

Tori looks at the floor and shakes her head.

"He's a good man, Tori, a good man… " Hana reminds her.

"I know," she whispers, a little embarrassed. She could see now that Zeke was doing the best he could.

"He loves you, Don't give up what you two have built"

Tori nods, she loves Zeke. This past week she had been horrible without him. She missed him so much but she wasn't sure if she was ready to talk to him.


Tori tosses and turns. She was so tired, she hadn't slept in three days. She hadn't spoken to Amar or Zeke, she was still too hurt. Cara, Christina, and Tris had been great, letting her cry and get her feelings out. She'd found it hard to sleep without Zeke now, the pillow on the other side of the bed smelled like his cologne. She rolls over again and looks at the clock on her bedside table. She'd been so hurt and angry but now she was lonely, Amar and Zeke were all she had. She had closed herself off from love after Bella was gone and Zeke had broken down all the walls she had put up.

Tori throws on a sweatshirt and slides on a pair of shoes before she marches out the door.

Ten minutes later she's knocking on Zeke's door.

"Hold Up, What the Hell" Zeke yells from the other side of the door.

"Tori…Ummm Hi" He stammers shocked when he opens the door to find his girlfriend standing there in her pajamas.

"You look like hell," she says bluntly.

"Well I haven't been sleeping much" He mutters. He isn't sure what to do so he steps aside, holding the door open.

Tori marches past him and stands in the living room. Zeke closes his eyes and takes a deep breath as he closes the door. It was one in the morning, and he had no idea what to expect.

"If we are going to be together and make this work, you can't keep things from me or make decisions for me because you think it's for my own good"

"You mean you still want us to be together?" Zeke asks quietly as he looks up surprised.

"Well yes….I still love you, Zeke" She sighs as she fidgets with the hem of her top.

Zeke gets up slowly. He watches her as he approaches and slowly gathers her into his arms, holding her close. He smiles when she relaxes against him.

"I'm so sorry, I never wanted to hurt you" he whispers. He pulled back and tilted her chin so she had to look him in the eye. "I love you, Tori, I've never felt the way I do with you and I thought I was protecting you"

"I know" she returns. "And I know you had other people that convinced you that keeping me in the dark was the right thing to do. I need you to always be honest with me…"

"I understand," Zeke whispers cupping her face.

Tori doesn't say anything else, she just lays her head on his shoulder and enjoys his embrace. She'd make up with Amar tomorrow, right now all she wanted was her man.


Tris and Max make their way down the elevator.

"How are you feeling?" Max asks his daughter.

"Much better now that the morning sickness has passed" Tris sighs and Max chuckles.

"I'm so proud of the plans you and your mother have put together, Baby Girl"

Tris smiles at her father's praise. Stephan, Elena, Caleb, and Marlene were helping now and the four of them felt as if their plan was great. The next step was to present it to the Dauntless leadership and what remained of the Faction Council for approval.

"Me too, do you think the council will approve it?"

"Things can't go back to the way they were, and I hope the council realizes that too"

When they step off the elevator There is a large boom and the sound of screams. Max instinctively places Tris behind him as he scans the hallway. He hears yelling and reaches for his radio.

"Daddy, what was that?" Tris asks.

"I don't know baby" Max reaches for his radio. "Harrison…What the hell was that?" He calls. Suddenly a smaller blast down the hallway occurs and the hallway fills with smoke.

"Cover your face with your shirt" Max yells at Tris as they cough.

"Lynn…." Tris asks as she sees a figure move through the smoke toward them. She's sure it's Lynn and she has a mask on. She sees another figure next to Lynn and realizes it's Shauna.

Before Tris or Max can move two more people emerge with masks on, grabbing Max and injecting him with a needle. Max instantly slumps in their hold.

"Daddy!" Tris screams as she watches, panicking now about how she could get away but she couldn't leave her father.

"Lynn, Shauna what are you doing" Tris says as two arms grab her.

"I'm sorry Tris.." Is all Shauna says before she injects her as Lynn smiles a devious smile.
