Chapter 13

I wake up, and slowly open my eyes. I look around the room, and find Caleb sleeping there. What the Hell is going on? I think.

Then the memories of last night come flooding through my mind. Also the smell of Rich, smooth coffee.

I hop out of bed, and run to the kitchen, my feet slapping the ground with every step. I'm not that quiet.

If someone was asleep in this house, they're awake now. I turn into the kitchen doorway, and see my parents and Tobias. "I can tell you really love her." My mother says, taking Tobias's hand in hers.

"I do. Tris and our kids are my everything." He says, and that's when I walk in the room. "Good Morning. I smell coffee." I say, and everyone in the room laughs.

I make a cup of coffee, and sit at the table. I pick up the Tablet that the Dauntless leaders issued me when I was hired, and turn it on.

"Crap. Tobias, my division of leadership has a meeting this morning at 11:30." I say, running a hand through my hair.

"Okay. I'll take your parents on a tour of Dauntless today." He says, making circles in his cereal with his spoon.

"Thanks." I say. I go to Olivia, Maddie, and Hunter's rooms. I walk into Maddie's, and see her standing in her crib. Oh My God! I grab the camera, and take a picture, then yell "Tobias!" He comes running in, and when he sees Maddie, he smiles.

I walk into Olivia's room, and see her slipping her foot into the bars of hers, but she's still in a crawling position.

I take a photo, and while Tobias helps her, I go to Hunter's room, and he's just asleep. Hunter has never stood in his crib before. I always knew Maddie was smarter!
