Divergent High

Chapter seventeen

Tris pov

It's been weeks since I first met Stacy, the officer that has a crush on Tobias. Tobias keeps denying that nothing will ever happen between them but I just have this feeling she's going to try and make a move.

Right now I'm out with all of my bridesmaids who are Christina, Marlene, and Shaunna. Christina is my maid of honor and we are shopping for dresses today.

Tobias is with his groomsmen shopping for their tux's. Since shopping with both of the twins is hard we decided to separate and take one each. I have Ella and Tobias has Emma.

Ella is peacefully sleeping in her stroller, she's being such a good girl.

"Can I hold the baby" Christina ask me as we sit and wait for the bridesmaids to try on the dresses I picked out.

Christina has a different dress so she's not trying on these ones.

"Of course Auntie Christina" I say in my mommy voice as I hand a sleeping Ella to her god mother. Zeke and Christina are the girl's god parents. We picked them to watch the girls if anything were to happen to Tobias and I.

"If you ever need some 'mommy and daddy alone time' if you know what I mean. Auntie Christina and uncle will are always here to watch the girls" Christina tells me and I giggle

"There has not been a lot of action in our bed room." I tell her

"Why is that? When you and Tobias first met all you did was have sex" she tells me and I sigh

"Well we do have two very attention needing babies. They take up a lot of our energy, then Tobias works and he's even more exhausted and this girl from the station has a thing for Tobias and it's putting us in a bad vibe" I tell her

Ella starts to whine a little in Christina's arms but Christina handles it very well.

"You're going to be a great mother some day" I tell her

"Well I've learned all my tricks from you. You're so good with your girls" she says and I smile looking down.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not but I'm trying.

"Tris how do we look" Marlene says coming out with her dress and Shaunna follows behind.

"You look so beautiful" I say and they jump up and down excitedly.

"Great meal today honey" Tobias says holding dinner dishes in his hand and kissing my head.

I grab the dishes from his hands since I'm already by the sink cleaning cups when he grabs the dishes back.

"I got it" he says grabbing a sponge

"Just go be with the girls I have it" I say plainly and he chuckles, turning off the water and gently turning me to face him.

"Tris, what's going on? You have been in a mood all day today" he says

"I don't know I think I just need a break from reality for two seconds. I feel like my life is just going by me" I say

"I've been so busy and so stressed with our girls, our wedding and not to mention Stacey. I have no time for myself. We have no time to ourselves. I just feel like my life is on repeat" I add

"This is our life tris. We can't just escape the responsibilities we have" he says and I step back a little

"I'm not asking you to lecture me. I just need you to tell me everything is going to be okay. That 'why don't we take the weekend to ourselves' 'how about we plan a date night' or something like that. Why don't you get me out of this house" I say

"You were out of the house today" he says

"Doing priorities, like getting bridesmaids dresses for our wedding. That's not fun, why can't we ever do something fun. It's not like we have sex" I say and he sighs

"So now planning for our wedding, the happiest days of our lives isn't fun and what do you mean we don't have sex. Every time I try to spark anything sexual between us, you turn it down" he says

"You always want to have sex in the most inconvenient moments" I say

"This whole argument is just wrapped around how you're not happy. How are we supposed to get married if you're not happy" he says

"I am happy" I sigh looking down

"Sure doesn't sound like it" He says

"So what are you saying. Let's not get married" I say crossing in front of my chest.

"No tris, that's not what I'm saying. You're misinterpreting everything I'm trying to say" He says annoyed

"Maybe I should go spend the night at my parents house" I say

"Fine but you're leaving the girls here. They are doing so good with their sleeping schedule" he says and I glare at him

"Fine. I never wanted this life anyway" I say walking away and he groans

"What life? Is this life not good enough for you" He says

"I had dreams. I wanted to go to college and make something out of myself but now I'm stuck home with two crying babies while you get to live your dream of being a detective. I clean diapers and you fight crime. Is this what my life is going to be? Is this how I'm going to have to live?" I say

"I get where you're coming from but you can't just throw this all away now. We grew up too fast and that was our faults but I love you and I love our daughters. Our life isn't that bad" He says

"Try living a day in mine then" I say and walk out.

"Don't go" Tobias says as I grab my keys and walk over to kiss the girls

"I just need to clear my mind" I say holding Emma and playing with her hand

"Are you coming home later" he ask and I nod kissing Emma's cheek.

I go over to Ella and do the same.

"We should talk when you come home" he says

"Okay" I say and walk out the house.

I get in my car and just drive.
