"You can't start a new chapter if you keep re-reading the last one."

Shailene's POV~

Dear Journal,

Weird how life has changed, last time I wrote was in 2013 and I was 21 years old. Now, I'm 23 years old, engaged to the love of my life, I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Luna, and ending the Divergent series soon. It's quite strange, I never saw myself where I am now. However, that's the beauty of life; not knowing what will happen and laugh at what life gives to you.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Luna, do not put that in your mouth!" I exclaim, even though she doesn't understand me.

She's only a month and a half, I must be delusional to think that she would listen. I quickly grab the dirty pacifier, washing it off and placing it back into her mouth. Hopefully, she will fall back asleep in her swing.

"The two most amazing people just walked in." Miles shouts, while entering the living room with Theo.

"I can agree that there is one amazing person. Yet, there's a filthy stranger too." I grin, hugging my handsome fiance.

Miles playfully roles his eyes, heading straight to the fridge. The cast and I have been getting a lot closer, hanging out with each other then going straight to set. Also, Miles has been addicted to some chocolate cake that Theo's mother makes. We get it only once a month, therefore Miles swallows it whole.

"Don't make too much of a mess!" I warn, I had just finished cleaning.

"How was your day love?" Theo pulls back a stray hair, smiling at me.

I blush and respond, "Good. How about yours?"

The two of us jump onto the couch, snuggling close. We rarely ever get moments to enjoy each other's company between the baby and filming. Sometimes I wish we could freeze time and cherish this moment, but something could interrupt that too.

"It was fine. Mum called, asking us to fly down to England on our spare time. She and the family wants to see us." He sighs, turning the T.V on.

A burst of excitement swarms through me; I love to spend time with Theo's family. They are loving and so kind towards one another, I always felt safe with them.

"That's perfect! We can go next month!" I exclaim, checking on Luna who is soundly asleep.

Theo pecks my cheek and starts to head down to my collar bone, yet Miles thought it was perfect timing to walk into the room and jump on the two of us.

"No PDA!" He shouts, then walks out the front door.

My eyes gaze towards the counter, chocolate frosting everywhere. With a sigh, I head into the kitchen and open a window to let a cool breeze in. Lately, I've really had the need to go on a hike or just sit outside. This apartment is starting to feel like a cage, letting everyone watch me while I suffer inside.

"Theo, this is probably completely insane, but should we start looking for a house?" I gulp, setting the oven to the correct temperature.

He joins me, quickly thinking of a response, "It really isn't actually. I've been thinking as well, it's starting to get a bit cramped in here. Yeah, I do like tight things, especially if they are on you but I would like to be able to move in my own home.

I laugh and say, "Alright, we can start looking but we will make a purchase after we are married. Now, go take the chicken out of the fridge while I figure out how to make a decent dinner that isn't going to cause a heart attack.

Theo chuckles, kisses me on the forehead and starts for the fridge. I hum to myself, visioning our family in a beautiful ranch style house and watching our children grow. I practically glow from all the excitement, yet we still have wedding planning to worry about.

Once the chicken defrosts, Theo took on from there while I went to wake Luna up. She's been growing so quickly, almost a full head of hair and a big appetite.

"Hey there sleepy head!" I kiss her chubby cheeks, her light brown eyes flutter open.

I grab a bottle that was already made, feeding it to her while Theo finishes dinner. Only one more month of filming and we will have off until interviews begin. For now, we will take it step by step and continue our lives together.
