Epilogue

Two Years Later

Four stands at home plate on Wrigley field. Standing on this field at this plate was always been his dream. As he looks out around the stadium, especially at the familiar faces that sit just behind home plate in the stands, he never imagined that he would be standing here for this reason.It is a beautiful October day in Chicago. The air is cool but comfortable and the sky is clear. Four nervously takes his place at home plate. He looks out over the great expanse of the baseball field to the skyline visible just beyond the outfield bleachers. The view from here is beautiful and it's a dream come true to see it from this perspective. He never once in his life thought that he would ever be this happy. Most of his life was spent in fear and dealing with the ramifications of having Marcus as a father. But on this day, he puts all of that fear and anger behind him. Today he gets what he's always wanted.Zeke, Caleb, Uriah, and Will move up behind him and Zeke places his hand on Four's shoulder. Four turns to look at the four men standing behind him. Zeke, Will, and Uriah have been his closest friends for years, and some of the only people that he has ever allowed into the reality that was his life with Marcus. He and Caleb have grown closer over the past two years. He had originally thought that Caleb was a know-it-all, only to find out that he is a really great guy and a lot of fun to hang around. Caleb is also the person that got him set up with the doctor that he's working with.All of the guys wear black tuxes with silver vests and ties, except for Four who has a white vest and white tie. He's only ever dressed up like this one other time, and that was for Zeke's wedding two years ago. The night that he finally asked Tris to be his wife. It has taken them two years to get here, but today they will finally become husband and wife.Zeke places his hand on his best friend's shoulder and smiles in his mischievous way. "Well man, are you ready for this?"Four looks at him and smiles, "Absolutely."With that one word, the music begins to play across the field's PA system and this music makes him smile. 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' begins as Liam and Ariana begin to walk out from the dugout. Liam is now three years old and Ariana is two, they are escorted to home plate by Tori and Brian. Instead of carrying a pillow, Liam carries a white baseball glove with pretend rings hanging off of it, and Ariana carries a white baseball helmet filled with flowers.Ariana was born at the end of September, just a week after Zeke and Zia's wedding. Christina went into labor during the day while Will was at work, so Tris took her to the hospital and waited there with her until Will arrived. A few hours later their beautiful little girl was born. Ariana has beautiful brown hair like her mother and bright blue eyes like her father and her skin is a light shade of brown.Liam is a fun loving little boy with brown hair and big brown eyes just like his mother. But when you look at his face, he looks just like Brian. Liam is already starting to play baseball with Uncle Four and Aunt Tris. They bought him his own baseball glove and bat for his birthday and are teaching him how to play ball.Once Liam and Ariana get to home plate and everyone oohs and awws them, Tori and Brian lead them to their seats where they will try to keep them clean until it is time for pictures.With 'Take Me out to the Ballgame' still playing lightly in the background, the bride's maids all take their places and begin to make their way down the makeshift aisle toward home plate.Christina begins to walk from the dugout, followed by Marlene, Zienna, and finally Zia. They all wear black vintage style tea-length strapless bridesmaid's dresses, except for Zia who wears a black one shoulder tea-length dress that has an empire waist line to accommodate for her expanding baby bump.Zeke and Zia's first baby will be due around Thanksgiving, so with only a little more than a month to go, Zia's baby bump is growing quickly. They recently found out that they will be having a baby boy who will be named Zachary Edward.When Zeke sees his beautiful wife who is carrying his baby walk down the aisle, he is taken back to their own wedding and the feeling he got when he saw her coming toward him. She is glowing and is beautiful. His heart still skips a beat when she walks into a room. He smiles hugely at her when she gets to the front of the line of girls and turns toward him.Uriah and Marlene came home during the off season to get married in a small ceremony in Lincoln Park. It was a beautiful fall ceremony outside with all of the fall leaves decorating their party. Marlene is still playing softball and is also coaching during her off seasons. Uriah is still coaching football and has taken his high school football team to the state finals twice in the past three years. They visit from Akron as often as they can, but they don't see their friends and family as much as they would like.Will and Christina have little Ariana to chase after. Will is still teaching at the high school while Christina decided not to go back to the store that she was working at before Ariana was born. Instead, she stays at home with her baby but she also baby sits Liam while Tori and Brian are working and she is going to babysit Zachary when Zia goes back to work.Caleb is set to graduate medical school in the next year. He will be doing his residency in the local hospital as a doctor of pediatrics. He's also starting dating Faith, Tris' friend from the softball team. They met at Tris and Four's house warming party and hit it off. They've been dating ever since.Four and Tris were the last of their friends to get married. Tris wanted to be able to finish school and find a job before she was willing to start planning the wedding. After she graduated she was offered a job at the rehabilitation facility where she spent her time healing. When she told her therapist that she was getting a degree in psychology, she offered her a job following graduation. She felt that it was important to have someone who could help people that totally understands what they are going through. Tris has been working there for a year now and has made a real difference in a lot of lives. They trust her, especially when they find out that she was once in their shoes. Four is still working with the same doctor, but he's gone back to school to get his degree to be a physical therapist instead of being an assistant. He still has one more year of school to complete.When the wedding march begins, Four anxiously awaits his bride. He's been waiting four long years to make this girl his bride. Their lives have been gloriously normal for the past two years and the past year since she moved into his house with him has been wonderful.They are still the same couple that they've always been. They work out together, they run and lift weights and they still challenge each other to be faster and stronger than everyone else. Four plays ball for a recreational baseball league in the city and Tris spends her time running marathons. They are both living a different life than they anticipated, but they couldn't be happier.Tris and Bud stand in the dugout, hidden away until it is their time to make their way down the aisle. Bud looks at his daughter in awe of her beauty. "You know, there was a time that I never thought I'd be the person to do this with you. You make your mother and me proud every day, do you know that?"Tris smiles, "I love you, Dad." She kisses him on the cheek and smiles again."Well my love, that's our cue," Bud says and kisses her daughter on the head. They begin to emerge from the dugout, her arm wrapped in his. This is the best day of his life. When she was born, he never thought that he would ever be the one to do this with her. Now here he is, walking his beautiful daughter down the aisle to the man that she's going to marry.Tris is wearing a trumpet/mermaid style strapless lace floor length wedding gown. It is formfitting to her small frame and beautifully accentuates her curves. Her hair is formed into a curly up-do with ringlets framing her face.When Tris sees Tobias standing there and waiting for her, her heart begins to flutter. He looks so debonair in his tux standing there waiting for her. She has been dreaming of this day for years now. For a while she never thought it would come. She was sure that at some point, all of the drama that they had been through would drive them apart. But all it did was make their relationship stronger and make them fight harder to be together.Four stands and looks at the beautiful woman coming toward him. He's always thought she was beautiful. But right now she has taken his breath away. He's never seen her look more confident and self assured. He loves that the dress she's chosen shows off some of her tattoos, especially the new ones she got just after leaving the hospital. The blue ribbon for people suffering from PTSD, along with one of the sayings that she had written in her notebook.'Strength of characterisn't always how much you can handle beforeyou break,it's also about how much you can handleafter you've broken.'She had that tattooed on her bicep with the blue ribbon just under it. They are a constant reminder of her strength and perseverance. She still suffers from bouts depression sometimes, but she's been able to manage it and work through it with Four's help.She steps toward him and he moves forward. Bud pulls him into a hug before placing Tris' hand into his. Four has become just as much a son to him as Caleb. He couldn't be prouder to give his daughter's hand to Four.The two of them turn toward the minister officiating their ceremony. He repeats the same prayer that was used at Natalie and Bud's wedding,Corinthians 13: "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. Love never fails."They continue through the ceremony with Four never taking his eyes off of his beautiful bride. When it is time for their vows, they both spoke of love, devotion, and the challenges and triumphs that they have been through throughout their relationship. Everything that they say revolves around the hardest part of their lives being past and with the two of them together, they will be able to conquer anything that comes their way.When the ceremony is over their names, Mr. and Mrs. Tobias and Beatrice Eaton, is displayed on the scoreboard and the marquees around the stadium. It is the coolest thing that Four has ever seen. To leave the field, they play 'Take Me Out to the Ballgame' again. The group files off of the field and to the reception hall within the stadium. Four and Tris have pictures taken on the field with their wedding party and Tris' family. The party following the wedding is fun and fantastic, especially when the sun goes down and they have a spectacular view of down town Chicago at night.It was the perfect night and the perfect beginning to the rest of their lives.
