Finding Daddy

Talking, just talking.

Tris POV
He looks almost exactly the same. He of course has some lines by his eyes, but other than those I would have guessed he was still twenty. I can't believe I am seeing him. But by the look I am getting, I am guessing he feels the same way.

I start walking towards him, he starts walking towards me. No words have been said yet, I don't know if we are ready for that. No matter how mad I am, I have missed him more than anything. I was just not brave enough to come here and get his side of the story, now I need it. But before anything else happens I need to be close to him. Just in case this is the last time I see him.

I finally get to him, I don't have anytime to do anything. He smashes his lips on mine. I can't help but kiss him back. It has been such a long time since I have been able to feel his lips on mine. I have needed this. He starts to cry, I feel his tears, mine start to mix with his.

I slowly pull away, still crying. He is the first to say anything." Tris? Can we please go to our apartment to talk? Please, I want to explain." I look directly into his eyes, the same eyes my-no our daughter has;" yes, I will listen to your side of the story but, even if I get what I want I make no promises to stay here. It depends on how our daughter feels about it." It still feels so odd being here, seeing him, hearing his voice.
Talking about our daughter, I turn to look at her and it seems she is no longer in the room. I am guessing because Uriah and Christina are no longer here either, she is roaming Dauntless with them.

I follow Tobias out of the training room and down the all to familiar hallways in to our apartment. It looks the same. He did not change anything. I immediately run and jump onto his bed. He has a picture of us on the stand next to our bed. In this one we are kissing in the cafeteria. That was a good day.

I need to get to the point, he needs to start explaining soon. " Tobias?" He immediately looks at me." Yes?" He walks over to the bed and sits next to me." Can you explain your side please? I promise I will listen but I may ask you some questions." Of course." He takes three deep breaths.

" Okay, so it all started one day after training. You weren't there, of of the initiates stayed after saying she had some questions about what we had been going over. I swear I had no idea what she had planned. I asked her what she was confused on, she ran over and put a knife to my stomach and kissed me. I tried to pull away tris, I really did. And you walked in.. and I really tried... I loved you. It killed me to see you leave." He starts crying. I quickly embrace him. He sniffles and puts his head in the crook if my neck as he falls to his knees. I whisper soothing words into his ear until he stands and wipes his face.

He walks back over to me." Will you move in with me Tris? I will treat you with so much respect, I will love our daughter for as long as I live. I will do anything for either of you. I will love you both whether you stay or go as long as I breathe. But please, please, please, please give me a chance to prove to the both of you just how much I love you." I do believe his story, I should have known from the beginning. Even when I was unsure, I should have been able to trust him enough to know he would never cheat on me with some stupid initiate." We can talk to our daughter about it, but I am fine with it. I love you Tobias." I walk into his now open arms. I look up and see his perfectly plump lips coming towards my own. I kiss back immediately. He asks for an entrance which I grant very quickly. He picks me up and moves me to the kitchen cabinet, I pull away to catch my breath.

He presses his warm lips to my forehead. This has always been so comforting. I grin and grab his hand. Together we walk out of the kitchen and into the Pitt, we are going to find our daughter and explain some of this situation.
