Tris' POV

The next morning i wake up with a stiff neck. But that was the last thing on my mind. The first thing i see is little Natalie on Tobias' chest sleeping. It's the cutest thing i've ever seen. They both look so peaceful. Looking at Natalie, she has my hair, but when she is asleep she is a spitting image of Tobias. I look up and see Tobias smiling at the ceiling. I wiggle ever so slightly and he looks down. "Hey" he whispers in his morning voice. "You have a friend" i said kissing his hand that was around my shoulder. "Hey, Natty, wake up sweetheart." i say rubbing her back. In an instant she gets up and rolls to the small space in the middle of me and Tobias. Tobias rolled off and threw her in the air, tickling her when she lands in his arms. She squeals and squirms and i can't help but feel like nothing bad has ever happened to me. No betrayal, no loss, just this, my family, my beautiful family. After handing Natalie over to me, Tobias walks to the kitchen and starts to make french toast. I get Natalie dressed and we eat together. "So, house or apartment?" Tobias says after finishing his breakfast. "What?" i asked. "Well, we need more room. Would you like a house or an apartment?" He said taking my plate. We begin to do the dishes while Natalie watches some old tv show about a talking sponge, i absolutely hate it but she seems to love it. "House." i finally reply. "So let's go find a house!" he says wrapping his strong arms around my waist. I pull myself to him and kiss right there not bothering to see if Natalie is looking. "I love you" he says as i lean my head on his chest. "I love you too" i say. "I love you three" he smirks. "I love you Four ha ha ha" i say kissing him again. 

We leave Natalie with Christina and Will and go look for houses. A lot has changed in three years. Houses weren't segregated into five factions. Houses were scattered around Chicago, along with new shops, restaurants, and other various buildings. After hours of searching we finally find a house with four bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms and located right on the outskirts of the main city life. Two weeks later we are the rightful owners and begin to move. 

Tobias takes a long look at his empty apartment as if to say goodbye. Natalie is on his shoulders and playing with his hair that has slightly grown out. "You ok?" i ask. Tobias ducks as he and Natalie exit the apartment. "Perfect" he smiles. As our hands intertwine we walk to Tobias' car and leave for our new house. "Natty are you excited?" Tobias asks looking at our daughter in the mirror. "YEA!" she squeals, causing me and Tobias to laugh a little. Finally we pull up and Natalie almost sprints to the door. But her chubby little legs don't take her very far and Tobias quickly picks her back up and puts her on his shoulders. I take out my phone, which we got a few days ago, and take the very first picture. 

As we walk into the house we find it's already open. Inside there was a big banner hanging from the stairwell that read "WELCOME HOME"  Under it stands all of our friends. "Welcome Home!" they shout. "Thank you!" we jokingly shout back. Cara and Natalie run to the playroom that is around the corner and the rest of us are left to the alcohol. 

After a night of laughter and lots of candor or dauntless everyone finally goes home and leaves me and Tobias alone.
