Candor Or Dauntless

Chapter 5

The little cloudy gray eyed girl walks up to me an touches my twitching hand, "Mommy ?" Tobias looks at me confused and takes a step away from me.

"Tris, what's going on? Who is this girl?" I look at Tobias my vision blurred by tears and all that escapes me is a strangled cry of guilt, pain, and strangely happiness.

Peter steps forward, "Hello, Stiff. I see you haven't changed a bit. Are you happy to see Edith ?"

The cloudy eyed girl looks up at me and smiles. "Momy, dady has told me alot about you. Did you really abandon me for him ?"
She looks at Tobias and points. I look at her stunned, "I would never abandon you, if you were my child Edith. But your not, and I have no clue why Peter would have told you that. " Edith starts to cry and Peter comes and picks her up.
Christina come over to me with her Candor set face, "Tris, what's the truth?"
Tobias looks at me as if judging me and I cower where I stand. "This child is not my daughter. But ther are details I would not like to discuss right now." Tobias charges forward out of the door in a blur. I don't know what else to do but follow so that's what happens.

-Time Lapse-

I couldn't find him anywhere so I go back to our apartment. After about 10 minutes or so pass before he comes into the room and sees me. "Tris, what the hell is going on ? You have a child, by...Peter? The guy who tried to kill you by dangling you over the chasm? How could you do this to me ?"

I want to kiss him. To let him hold me. To lay together today but he does not want that. "Tobias I really want to tell you. You don't know how much I need to get out, but I was
waiting."

"So you waited 6 years to tell me had a child? Now I'm questioning the trip you took to see your parents when you didn't come back for 11 months. I demand you tel me what's going on." He's yelling at me. Scolding me, like he can't deal with me. If he's bringing the fire I will too. "Oh my god, FOUR I would have told you , but I knew you would react like this but if you really want to know the story the fine."

I tell him the entire story of how during initiation Peter asked me to cary his baby since his wife could not breed. I make it known that Tobias and I had no relation at the time, because he was to busy throwing knives at my ears and taunting me. I watch as his face contort and straightens. Then I end with why I think Peter brought Edith to me. " I want to keep her Tobias we could start a family. Like you've always wanted."

Tobias looks at me disgusted. "I wanted a child that was mine not his. " He gets up and leaves me sitting in the living room of the apartment to think alone.
