AFADHFJBAJVOREBU. So this week was really busy. I had one final monday, but almost passed out, not even able to finish the test, but i'm fine. Then that night I had my eight grade party, which I was fine to go to. Then tuesday I got stupid blood taken. Wednesday I had graduation. Thursday and friday I went to the beach, and today I had another party. I don't know why i'm telling you guys this, but whatever. Sorry for the delay. More mushy-ness in this chapter :)

Tris POV

I wake up at 8:30 and realize Ellie's still sleeping. She must have really been tired.

I adjust myself carefully, but Ellie's eyes slowly open. Her hands move up to rub her eyes.

"Morning sweetie," I say, kissing her forehead. She reaches her hands up to me.

"Uppy," She says. I lift her up slowly, trying not to wake Tobias.I carry Ellie into the kitchen to feed her.

I slip her into her high chair and open the fridge. I grab some blueberries and strawberries and cut the strawberries into small pieces. I place them on the tray on Ellie's chair. I tie on her bib and sit in front of her with a muffin.

"Eat up babe," i say. She grabs a blueberry and pops it into her mouth. I bite into my muffin as Ellie eats more fruit. She has a few tiny teeth and small fingers.

"Berries," I say, pointing to her fruit. She reaches toward my muffin.

"Bie," She says. Bite.

"Berry," I say, picking up a blueberry and popping it in her mouth. She eats it, but still reaches for my muffin.

"Muffin?" I ask.

"Muh," She says. I roll my eyes and chuckle as I break a piece off for her.

"You are a pain," I tease. She giggles as I hand her a chunk of my muffin. She carefully picks off small pieces and places them in her mouth. I end up eating some of her fruit too.

I got up to get a water, but I guess Ellie didn't like that.

"Mommy?" She asks. I smile at the word. I turn around and find her reaching her arms out to me.

"Uppy," She says. I lift her from her high chair and onto my hip as I attempt to clean up breakfast.

"You guys in here?" Tobias asks, walking towards the kitchen while rubbing his eyes.

"Yep," I say. He walks into the kitchen and grabs himself a muffin.

"Sleep well?" I ask. He looks dead beat.

"I was up admiring the way Ellie says daddy and mommy," He says, smiling. I laugh as I wipe down Ellie's high chair tray.

"Yeah, I was dreaming about it." I chuckle. Tobias walks my way and places his hands on my hips.

"I love you," He says, kissing my forehead.

"And I you," I smile. He smiles back.

"And you too you little nugget." Tobias says, tickling Ellie's sides, making her giggle.

"Dadda," she says. Tobias smiles as he lifts her from my arms. He holds her above his head, making her laugh.

"What do you wanna do today?" I ask. Tobias clutches Ellie in his arms.

"Movie?" He suggests. I smile.

"Tangled?" I ask. He laughs.

"Okay," He says.

XXPAGE BREAKXX

"You're divergent and we all know it," Marcus says, pacing slowly in front of me. I struggle in the chair, but can't get free.

"Let me go," I say. Marcus swings his belt in front of me.

"I'll let you go, once I'm finished with my dear son," He says. moving toward Tobias, who is crouched in a ball on the floor, covered in whip marks.

"Please! Let it be me!" I yell.

"No, Tris," Tobias says. Marcus hits him, making him let out a loud yell.

"Put you in the place of Tobias? Works for me," He says. Marcus moves toward me, raising his arm. I flinch as the belt moves closer and closer-

"Tris," Tobias says, holding my shoulders. I'm covered in sweat, breathing heavily.

"What?" I ask.

"You were screaming in your sleep. After the movie I let you nap." He says. Tears roll down my face.

"Marc-cus," I stutter. Tobias grips onto me as I breathe in his comforting scent that's attatched to his shirt.

I didn't even hear Ellie wailing.

"Ellie," I say. Tobias lets go of me and picks up Ellie from her bouncer. He rocks her slowly in his arms and she cries on his shoulder.

"Did I wake her up?" I ask. Tobias nods.

"I think she's hungry too." He adds. I nod as I take a deep breath. I hate nightmares.

"Let me hold her while you get some chicken?" I ask. Tobias nods, handing me Ellie. I hold her close to my chest as she cries on my shirt.

"I'm so sorry," I whisper over and over.

"It's okay Tris. Nightmares happen," Tobias says, cutting chicken into small pieces. I nod.

"Let's just get her fed and go to bed." I say. I carry Ellie over to her high chair, where she eats her chicken. I warm a bottle of milk for her and once she's finished, bring her into her room.

Tobias changed her into purple footsie pajamas while I got ready for bed. I threw on a loose black shirt and didn't bother wearing shorts, just underwear.

I walked into Ellie's room and sat on the chair in her room, holding her bottle. Tobias finishes her diaper and pajamas and carries her to me.

"Fresh little Ellie." He says. I smile as I hold onto her. Her bright blue eyes stare at me with so much curiousity. Her soft brown hair is growing slowly as it gets slightly lighter. I slip the bottle in her mouth and she happily drinks it.

As Tobias gets ready for bed, I hum for Ellie. Her tiny hands try to grab the bottle, but end up resting on the sides. Her eyes slowly begin to droop down as she gets more and more tired.

I continue to hum as the bottle nears empty. Ellie's eyes are fully closed as the drinking stops. I slowly pull he bottle from her mouth and her tiny lips purse. I brush my fingers softly on her hair. I carry her to the crib and slowly set her down.

Tobias walks in behind me and lifts me up. My head rests in the crook of his neck as he carries me to our bedroom. He kisses me goodnight as I drift off to sleep.
