(A/N-Well here is the last of this story. I hope you have enjoyed it. Thanks to all who read, review, follow and fav. And thanks to Bekki for beta reading this for me.)

"I'm sorry to show up like this, but I wanted to know if you could talk to me," Tobias said.

"I thought you said everything you wanted to me," Tris said bitterly.

"Can we go somewhere and talk privately?" Tobias asked. "Please?"

"I'm not pregnant," Tris said, being direct with him before this went any further.

"Okay," Tobias said, a part of him relieved that this wouldn't add to the complication that was their lives right now. But then there was a part of him that felt a loss, that he had missed something magical.

"I'm working," Tris began.

"I think it's time for your break, Tris," Will said as he stepped up behind her and nudged her. "That is if you want to talk to him."

"No, no I'll talk to him," Tris said as she turned and looked at him.

"You can use my office," Will offered, "Take as much time as you need."

"Fine, you have ten minutes," Tris said as she started towards Will's office.

"Thank you, Will," Tobias said as the two men shook hands quickly.

"Good luck, mate, you'll need it," Will said, as he put a hand on Tobias' arm,"but if you upset her, you'll answer to me.

"Understood," Tobias said as he followed Tris to Will's office. Once inside he stood on one side of the room, and she on the other. Even though the room was small, it felt like they were worlds apart.

"I don't know where to begin with this, but I'll start with...I'm sorry for the way I reacted that night," Tobias said.

"You had every right to be upset. I lied to you, even when I had the opportunity to come clean to you," Tris said.

"I can understand now, why you felt like you couldn't tell me," Tobias said.

"I wanted to, but I also wanted to quit so badly," Tris said, "I was embarrassed, and wasn't proud of working there in the slightest. My father-"

"Came first," Tobias finished for her.

"Yes, family is everything to me," Tris said.

"I can see that, when you care about someone you care deeply," Tobias said.

"Yes. And I wanted to tell you, I never did anything with any of the men there, all I did was dance in my underwear for them. I promise you," her words eased his jealously greatly. "When I started working there, I never thought I would ever meet someone as wonderful as you," she said. "And then I felt like I was the most important person to you. And now...now, I felt like I threw it all away."

"You don't want...us, anymore?" Tobias asked.

"I do, more than anything in the world, but I'm sure you don't," Tris answered.

"That couldn't be further from the truth," he said.

"You mean? You want to try again?" she asked.

"If you do," he answered as she smiled.

"I'm glad you came here tonight. Even if you should probably be somewhere else," she said.

"There's no place, I'd rather be," he said, then smiled, "except in a bed with you, or on the couch, just holding you in my arms."

"I have missed waking up in them," she said.

"And I don't want you to leave your job," he said, "I need you working with me, that is if you can keep working with me. Can you, Tris?"

"I can, if you want me there," she answered.

"I do want you there," he said, smiling lightly as he looked into Tris' eyes. He decided to take a chance and ask the question that had been burning in his mind and his heart.

"You didn't answer me before. Is there...is there a way for us to start over?" he asked.

"You mean...like us dating again?" she asked.

"If you would like to?" he asked. He was holding his breath, because with her answer, she would decide his future. Would he be alone for the rest of his life? Because if she didn't want to date him anymore, he knew he would never find someone like her ever again. If she said yes, then he knew their future together would be something very precious to him.

He felt very vulnerable at this second...he still felt fear at the prospect of loosing her. If he did loose her, it would be his biggest regret...his biggest failure. He did not take failure well. He never had, which was why he worked so hard to avoid it at all costs. He just hoped he would undo the damage he had added to Tris. He had destroyed their bond, that if he did not repair were going to result in his loosing the woman he loved.

"Is it too late for us?" Tobias added.

Tris took her time before she answered this important question, "It isn't too late," she whispered.

His big body, that had been so on edge, seemed to finally relax. He smiled and walked up to stand only inches from her, his face contorted with a hope it was almost painful for her to see."It is not?"

"No," Tris answered with a small smile.

"What..." He swallowed and took a deep breath and then let it out, "What exactly are you trying to say here?"

"I'm..." she paused as he put his hands on either side of her face gently as he looked into her eyes, into her soul with those blue eyes of his.

"You are infinitely more precious to me. I do love you and if you are giving me this chance to prove it to you, I swear to you, I will not let you down again," he promised her.

Tris closed her eyes briefly and a few tears leaked out, he caught them with his thumbs and kissed her forehead. "You are incredible and to have you in my life is my greatest blessing."

"I feel the same way towards you," she finally said. "You are my heart and my soul."

"You give me strength and you fill me with pleasure when I think of one say sharing my life with you," he said to her.

"I believe you," and the belief was making her very happy, almost giddy, "I love you, Tobias. Yesterday, today and forever."

"I love you so much, Tris," he said as he closed his eyes as if sending those thanks on the wings of angels for her giving him another chance. "From this point forward, you will never again have cause to doubt my feelings towards you."

"And I promise you that I will never lie to you again, never withhold something from you like I did," Tris promised him.

Tobias smiled and said, "Can I take you out tonight for dinner?"

"I'm working," Tris said with laughter.

"Then may I drive you home, and give you a nice foot massage to celebrate you last night working here?" he asked. "You are going to continue to work for me, aren't you? Because without you, I'm lost."

"Yes, I will continue to work for you," she said, "and yes, you may drive me home."

"And may I flirt with you? Or is it too early?" he asked

"Yes, there may be some flirting," she said.

He moved his hands from her face, down to her shoulders. She watched as he leaned forward and then he was kissing her.

Will smiled from outside his office door, "Way to go lass, way to go," he whispered as he walked away, whistling as he did so.

******PAGEBREAK************

A few days later, Tobias had just been at his home for an hour after work, it was a productive day with his job and with making little strides with fixing his relationship with Tris. He had been so tempted to ask her out for lunch, but didn't want to press his luck just yet. He was about to see about fixing himself some dinner when his cell phone rung.

"Hello?" Tobias asked.

"Tobias, it's Will," Will said.

"Is Tris alright?" was Tobias' first reaction.

Will laughed before answering, "She's fine, I was calling to see if you would want to come down and have a drink?"

"Sure, Will. Thank you, I'll be right down," Tobias said as he changed into a pair of jeans and tee shirt. He arrived ten minutes later at the club and waved at Will upon seeing him there.

"I took the liberty of having a pizza made for us while we drink," Wil said as they sat down at the bar. He also had two beers poured up for them.

"I needed a drink, badly," Tobias said as he took a bite of the pizza, followed by a long swallow of beer.

"Still nursing that tender heart," Will mumbled.

"It happens," Tobias said.

"Lasses tend to make them that way at times," Will said.

"I take it Christina has you as well at some time?" Tobias asked.

"Yeah," Will answered, also taking a long drink.

An hour later, both men were slightly expressive...and very drunk.

"Christina's ex...Chad...Martin..., that's not it either," Will slurred his words out, "he was a piece of work." As he took another shot of whiskey.

"Imagine...can I," Tobias said, "no wait, that's not me, that's a Yoda. I'm not sure what I'm saying."

"Winning Christina from...from...whatever his name is, was an ordeal, but I did it," Will said.

"I am just thrilled I don't have to win Tris from anyone," Tobias said as he took another shot of his drink.

"Oh, that's right, I just remembered something," Will said as he stood up and slugged Tobias, knocking him backwards into another table, crushing it.

"What the bloody hell was that for?" Tobias asked, holding his busted lip.

"For hurting Tris you bloody idiot," Will answered as Tobias finally stood up.

"Well, then I think you deserve this," Tobias said as he slugged Will back.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Will asked.

"For hitting me," Tobias said.

"Well," Will said as he stood up and dusted himself off, "be prepared." Will said as he crashed into Tobias, knocking both men into another table, destroying it.

Ten minutes later, two things were clear. They would owe a lot to repair the damage in the bar and both men were bloody and on the floor resting up against the bar.

"Another two shots bartender!" Will called out.

"I don't know whether to sue you, or call the cops on the lot of you," the bartender said.

"I'd sue him, he's rich, just my advice" Will mumbled out.

Tobias took out his credit card and threw it back on the bar, "Run a tab then. We're not done yet."

"So on a scale of one to ten, how mad are you truly with me?" Tobias asked, as he wiped the blood from his lip.

"I was just having a bit of fun with you," Will said, as the bartender gave them a bottle and he poured them both a drink. "Well, the first shot was for me, I admit. For Tris."

"To Tris," Tobias mumbled as they clinked glasses.

"She is an amazing woman," Will said, "To her glow."

"Her glow?" Tobias asked as he smiled as he thought of how he had seen that glow of hers, "her glow." He said as the two men raised their shot glasses and clinked them.

"I have a feeling, we're talking about a different flow...glow," Will said.

"Indeed, give me another drink," Tobias said as Will grabbed the bottle and poured both men another round.

"To our lovely ladies," Will said.

"Now I have to wonder what started this," another voice said as Will and Tobias turned to see Zeke standing there.

"Helloooooo, Zekey, what brings you here?" Tobias asked.

"Yes hello, Zekey is it? Well, we were bonding," Will said.

"Yes, and drinking, a lot," Tobias said.

"You know, Tobias, I don't think I've ever seen you this intoxicated," Zeke said.

"You know this boy can put away some alcohol, he can drink vodka like there is no tomorrow," Will said.

"Bartender!" Tobias yelled.

"Hey!" Will said.

"Bartender!" Tobias yelled again.

"You yell like that again, and I'll punch you the moment I get the energy to do so," Will said.

"Another glass!" Tobias told the bartender, who raised his eyebrows at Zeke.

"I can't believe I'm going to say this, but no, someone has to get these two home in one piece," Zeke said.

"How did you know I was here?" Tobias asked.

"I called him, I knew you could afford the tab, but there was no way I was letting you two drive home," the bartender said.

"Well, thank you, add a nice tip for your thoughtfulness," Tobias slurred out.

"Okay, let me get you two home," Zeke said as he took one then the other to his car, he got the address from Will's driver license. He drove them home and assisted them to the front door.

"Christina's gonna be pissed," Will said, laughing.

"Well, then don't hit me the next time," Tobias said as the door flew open and standing there was Christina and Tris.

"Bloody hell," Zeke said as he didn't envy either man.

"Hey love!" Will said as he staggered into the house and fell onto the couch.

"Don't hello love me, you've been gone for hours," Christina said with her hands on her hips.

"It was all his bloody fault," Will said, pointing at Tobias.

"What happened to your face?" Tris said as she led Tobias to the couch beside Will.

"Nothing...nothing at all," Tobias answered.

"Tobias, you're drunk, you're never drunk," Tris said.

"No, no, no, it's bad manners to be ineb...ineb...ineb-" Tobias said.

"Inebriated," Zeke finished for him.

"Yah! That word," Tobias said.

"So what happened to both of your faces?" Christina said. "Did you two have a fight?"

"No, no, we tripped and fell and I fell into a wall," Will said, "and he fell into a chair."

"Will hit you with a chair?" Tobias asked Tris.

"No, no, never did such a thing," Tobias' answer was very slurred. "It was the wall."

"Did anyone ever tell you, you suck at cover stories?" Will asked as he looked over at the other man.

"I'm not the idiot who came up with tripping and falling into things," Tobias said.

"Okay, that's enough," Christina said as she grabbed Will's hand. "You're going to sleep this one off, and tomorrow we're going to talk."

"Ouch," Zeke whispered as Christina marched Will off.

"I guess that means I'm taking this one home now," Zeke said.

"No, he can stay here tonight," Tris said as she looked at Tobias, who was snoring already. "If you'll help me get him into my bed."

"I didn't think he would need help," Zeke whispered and smiled to himself as he helped Tobias to his feet and led him to Tris' bed. He laid him on the bed and turned to Tris. "Do you need more help with him?"

"No, I can take care of him from here, thank you Zeke, for bringing them both home," Tris said.

"Marry me, Tris. Please," Tobias whispered out. He was clearly still drunk but letting out what he was feeling.

Tris looked over at Zeke who smiled and said, "I'll make sure to leave a date open for any upcoming events."

Tris smiled as she watched Zeke turn and let himself out. She then turned and looked down at the snoring figure of the man she loved and shook her head, "Now what am I to do with you?"

"Anything, anything you want, Tris," Tobias mumbled, smiling up at her.

********PAGEBREAK*******

"You're going to have to give me an answer," a voice said as Tris woke up from being asleep.

"What?" Tris asked.

"I asked you last night about marrying me," Tobias said. He might have been drunk last night, but he did remember asking her to marry him. He knew it might be too soon, but he didn't want to waste another day without her.

He moved in the bed, putting several pillows up behind him, so he could prop himself up on and he then pulled Tris where he could hold her comfortably in his arms. For long moments they sat locked together, she could hear the thudding of his heart against her head. His closeness and his tenderness touched her heart greatly.

"I love you, Tobias," Tris said as she tilted her head back to look into his eyes, it was wonderful to be able to return his tender gaze, with her heart in her eyes.

"That's a good way to start," Tobias said with a smile on his face.

"I would love to spend the rest of my life with you," Tris said, "but what about that other job I had? I mean, what if we're out for a dinner with some colleagues and one of them saw me there? I would hate for you to be embarrassed about what I used to do."

Tobias placed one lone finger under her chin, "I would never be embarrassed by you, never," he promised her. "Now, that I understand why you did what you did. And if by some chance that was to happen, with us running into someone some day, then I'm going to grin and smile."

"Why smile?" Tris asked.

"Because my beautiful wife by then, was hot enough to work there," Tobias said. "Only I will be getting to enjoy the full package."

She blushed lightly at his words, she was relieved that he seemed to be able to look past what she used to do. "Tris, I was dead inside before we met. Just an empty soul. I came alive the day I met you."

"I was just going through the motions, trying go figure out how I was going to fix things about my family when we met," Tris said.

"So you're going to marry me?" Tobias asked. He held his breath as he waited for her answer.

"Yes," Tris said. "You're the man, the only man I want. I love you so much, Tobias. Love you with all my heart. I want nothing more than to start again. To have a future with you. To be married to you. A marriage of two hearts."

"A marriage of love," Tobias murmured as he bent his head to take her lips in a long, loving caress. "I couldn't ask for anything more."

"I could! I could ask for thicker walls!" Will yelled. "And for Chrisina to hurry up with the aspirin!"

"Will, I'm coming!" Christina yelled at him.

"How soon can we leave here and go to my house?" Tobias asked.

"How about say in twenty minutes?" Tris asked with a smile.

"Why twenty minutes?" Tobias asked.

"Because, I want some breakfast in bed," Tris said as she pushed him back on his back. She straddled his thighs and yanked his boxers down to his thighs as she smiled, as she leaned down and took his cock in her hands, caressing him up and down his length.

"Tobias, you're going to have to be quiet, wouldn't want Christina and Will to hear you, would you?" Tris asked as she opened her mouth and started to swallow him.

"Mmm," Tobias moaned with him in her mouth.

He groaned and bit the inside of his mouth as the hot slickness of her tongue bathing the underside of his shaft as her eyes looked straight up at him. Tobias shivered as her throat muscles twitched and shook around his head. Her hands found their way to his hips, for a full six or seven seconds they remained still, his long member deep inside her throat as she looked up at him.

Tobias reached down to brush a stray wisp of hair from her face, admiring her broad forehead, her staring eyes. She removed him from her mouth and moved from the bed, removing her pajamas and underwear. She quickly grabbed a condom from her purse and slithered down his abdomen. She took him in her hand and put the condom on his cock, then lining him up; he gasped when he felt his head make contact with her, and he took a deep breath when her other hand went to his shoulder.

She had him just inside her, holding herself up while she squeezed him in further, their eyes now locked together. When she spoke, her voice was a hoarse murmur. "This is going to feel so good." And then she was sliding him all the way into her, the tightness of her vagina making a slick moist sound as she sank down. Incredulous, he watched her face as she took him in; her slack mouth and wide eyes focused on him as she moved, then she closed her eyes in brief satisfaction when her butt at last settled onto his thighs.

And, just like that, he was all the way inside her. They fit together tightly, with a voracious heat that always took them both by surprise. During the blowjob his fingers had been gripping the sheets until he had no feeling. Now, he wanted to touch her, his hands came up and cupped her breasts in them. "You're beautiful," he whispered.

In the morning light he could see her inner lips stretched around the base of his cock. She rocked herself forward a bit. "You want me to ride you?"

"You already are, Tris." He was still hushed, but she was through being quiet as she rocked again. She was nudging him with her hips, wanting to get her knees onto the mattress.

"Hope you can handle me." She didn't wait for a response, heaving up as soon as the sentence was out.

The impact as she came back down drove the wind out of him; her passion was violent as she bounced, swinging her hips manically. It was some time before he was able to process what was happening to him; He heard a strange, distracted moaning noise, and it took awhile to realize it was coming from him. No sooner had he gotten used to Tris riding him, though, then she changed things up: she came down low, her sweaty breasts colliding with him. She had his hands clutched in hers, his arms spread wide as her writhing body smeared itself across him, her eager hips never stopping. Vague grunts came rhythmically into his face as she swiveled around him.

"Yes! Mmm so good!" Tris was out of her mind, locked into a wild sexual frenzy. She worked his cock hard, maneuvering her body so that he stabbed every inch of her. Eventually, she'd find a place she liked and would slow down, spending some time getting herself closer to orgasm, before getting a fresh reservoir of energy and trying something else.

She finally came while she was bent backward over his helpless legs, her spine arched and her head thrown back. Tobias felt her fingernails digging into his knees where she supported herself, arms and legs holding her steady while those majestic hips kept moving in a crazy blur. His cock was on fire, every inch of it hot and tight within her. .

His hands rode gently on her thighs as he felt her tense, every muscle hard and rigid. He saw the tendons in her neck stand out above him, heard her gritty clenched cry, and then her cunt somehow tightened even further as she twitched and shook on top of him. His hands found her ass, gripping firmly. And with that, his body gave way. "I'm cumming!" as he lost control. Tris collapsed on his chest, him still buried inside her.

"That was...amazing," Tris breathed out.

"That was longer than twenty minutes!" Will yelled.

"Will shut up! It was time for her to get those cobwebs knocked down," Christina said.

"The way they're going at it, she's got them knocked down and it won't be long till she's knocked up," Will said.

Tris started laughing at Will's words, Tobias moved her head from his chest, "I'm not worried, I wouldn't have minded if you were already...knocked up," he said with a smirk as he used Will's choice of words.

"Well, you're going to have to make an honest woman out of me first," Tris said.

"Just say when and where, and I'll fly us to the nearest chapel to get us hitched," Tobias said as then he asked. "Do you want a small wedding or a big one?"

"I don't have a lot of friends, so maybe just immediate family and friends?" Tris answered.

"Good, then I'm taking you home to meet my family this weekend. And when we get back, I would like to meet your father, if that's alright. I have a question for him," he smiled as he then kissed her forehead.

***********PAGEBREAK***********

One weekend, Tobias and Tris were on their way to see her father at the clinic. Tris was a tad nervous on bringing him to meet him, it had been so long since she had had a man to meet her father. And after her father had become an alcoholic, she had seen no need to bring one over for dinner, it had not been a pleasant atmosphere.

Tobias, on the other hand, was very calm about going to meet Tris' father. He looked forward to meeting the father of the woman that he loved more than anything, someone who had helped shape Tris into the beautiful, intelligent, caring woman she was today. He hoped that by this day's end he would have the permission of one Andrew Prior to marry his daughter.

A half an hour later, they were pulling up outside the clinic and walked into the clinic holding hands. Tris wanted to go to see her father first before bringing Tobias in. "Dad," she said as she walked into her father's room. He was sitting in his chair reading a book of his.

"Tris, I'm so happy to see you," Andrew said as he got up and walked over and hugged her.

"I've missed you so much, Dad," she said.

"And I have missed you as well," Andrew said, "Come and sit and tell me how you are doing."

"I'm doing quite well," she said, and took a deep breath before she decided to tell him the rest, "Dad, I've brought someone to meet you today, if you are feeling up to it."

"A friend of yours?" he asked.

"Well, yes, he is a friend," she said.

"But, he's more?" he asked.

Tris let out a nervous laugh and smiled, "His name is Tobias Eaton."

"Then show the man in, I can't wait to meet the man who is making my daughter smile like this," he said as Tris got up and went to get Tobias. She returned a few seconds later holding Tobias' hand as they walked in.

"Dad, this is Tobias," she said.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," Tobias said as he extended his hand out to Andrew.

"It's Andrew, and the honor is all mine," Andrew said as he took his hand and shook it. "Please sit down."

Once they were seated, Andrew started, "So tell me all about you Tobias."

"Well, I'm a lawyer, I love having your daughter work at my side, she's been essential to my work," Tobias said. "She has brought a meaning to not just my work, but my life."

"It makes my heart feel good to know she means this much to you," Andrew said. "And your family?"

Tobias told him about his parents, growing up and starting his own firm. "Sounds like your parents must be awfully proud of you all," Andrew said.

"They are," Tobias said as he looked at Andrew then, "Tris, do you mind if I might have a word with your father alone for a few minutes?"

Tris looked from Tobias to her father and back again, "Oh...oh alright. I'll go take a walk in the gardens, just come and find me when you're finished."

Tobias nodded and kissed her hand as she then left the room, "So I take it there is a reason you wanted to speak with me alone?" Andrew asked as he gave Tobias a knowing look.

"Indeed," Tobias said as he took a breath before beginning, "I love your daughter. With every breath that I take, every moment that I spend in her presence, I fall more and more in love with her, which I didn't think was ever possible."

"She is a one of a kind," Andrew said.

"I love every aspect of her, the way she will do anything to protect the ones that she loves. I love how when she gets nervous, she bites her lower lip. I love the way that when she loves someone, it's right there in her eyes. I love how deeply she cares for someone with her whole being," Tobias said.

"I take it there is something you might wish to ask me?" Andrew said, his face was beaming, knowing what was about to come next.

"Andrew Prior, may I have the honor and your permission to marry your daughter?" Tobias asked.

Andrew smiled and took Tobias' hand in his, "I would be honored for you to marry Tris. I could ask for no better man to marry her. So, my answer is yes. You may have my permission to marry Tris."

Tobias smiled, "Thank you, thank you very much, Andrew."

"Now, why don't we go and find the bride to be?" Andrew asked as both men went in search of Tris. When they spotted her in the garden, near an old apple tree, Tobias stopped and just looked at her with love in his eyes. Andrew looked from his daughter to his soon to be son in law and saw how much Tobias truly loved Tris. Both men made their way to her who turned upon hearing their footsteps.

Tris looked from one to the other and asked, "Now, do I want to know what you two were talking about?"

Tobias smiled as he walked up to her and took her cheeks in his hands and said, "I promise you, that it is nothing that will affect us in a negative way." As he then kissed her lips softly.

"Dad?" Tris asked her father.

"Oh, just guy stuff," Andrew answered with a smile towards Tobias.

Tobias took Tris' hand and she held her breath as she watched him take a knee and started to speak. "Tris, when you fell into my arms literally I was the one who truly fell. That was the day I started to fall, fall in love for truly the first and last time. I didn't think or know what love was or how it was meant to be. You taught me that, you taught me about forgiveness as well. Tris Prior, will you marry me?" He pulled out a ring and held it out to her, awaiting her answer.

Tris smiled as she said, "Yes, yes a million times. I'll marry you." Tobias smiled and slid the ring onto her finger and she pulled him up to kiss him. Andrew smiled and clapped in the background along with others who had been watching the proposal.

They spent several hours spending the time with Andrew. Both promising to return very soon to visit again. Before they left, Tris talked with her father's doctor and asked about when he thought he would be able to leave.

"I would think in a few more months, he should be able to go home," the doctor had said. "I would like to maybe try at first an over night weekend to see how he does."

************PAGEBREAK*********

The following Christmas, Tris woke up the day before her wedding to Tobias. She laid in the bed, not wanting to move as it was so soft and she had all the way through the night. Tobias had slept in another room in the castle. Tobias had brought them all over in a private jet. They were to get married tomorrow in Neuschwanstein Castle, otherwise known as Cinderella's castle. It was a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany.

She moved from the bed slowly and made her way to the bathroom just in time. Once she was done she headed downstairs. As she walked into the room that was to be where the reception was, she stopped in her tracks upon seeing...

Her father!

"Dad!" Tris called out. Andrew turned around and smiled as she literally ran into his arms.

"Oh, my darling, darling girl," Andrew said as he laughed into her ear as he hugged his little girl.

"What...How are you here?" Tris asked as she pulled from him to look at him.

"Well, it's quite simple," Andrew said as he turned them to see Tobias walking into the room as well with his hands in his pants pockets, and a huge smile on his face.

"A very special young man asked me for permission to marry my daughter and he told me then he would make sure I wouldn't miss seeing you getting married," Andrew said, "and nothing was ever going to keep me away from sharing this day with you."

Tris let a few tears flow as she looked from the two most important men in her life, her father and her soon to be husband. "Tobias, thank you, so much," she said as she left the safety of her father's arms, to go to Tobias'.

"Anything to make you smile, my love," Tobias said as she hugged him tightly to her.

"This place looks marvelous," Andrew said as they looked around the room. There were lots of round tables set up around the room with lovely centerpieces of red roses and candles and everything just looked perfect. In the center of the room was a huge dance floor perfect for lots of party guests to enjoy their evening.

"I can't believe you pulled all this off," Tris said.

"Well, I might have been planning some of this for a while," Tobias said.

"Oh, is that so? And how did you know I would agree?" she asked, teasing him.

"On the day we met, when you fell into my arms and into my heart, I knew my soul mate would love this," Tobias said as Tris felt her heart melt just a little more.

"And you have Christina and Will here along with a few other of my friends," Tris said.

"I would do anything for you. Always remember this," Tobias whispered to her as they walked around the room.

Half an hour later, Andrew Prior walked his daughter down the aisle and gave her to Tobias, to look after, to protect and to love for the rest of his life. Tobias assured him that Tris would have all that and then more. When Tobias had seen Tris walking down the aisle towards him, it was the bride from whom he couldn't tear his eyes away from.

His bride.

Tris.

She wore a gown befitting the queen that she was, ivory in color, a timeless one shouldered design, skimming her breasts before draping softly to the ground, classis and feminine, the necklace of pearls he had given her at her throat.

Andrew gave her away, passing her hand to Tobias' with a smile, before taking his seat. And if the wedding was magnificent, the reception was a celebration. The guests enjoyed plenty of great food and wonderful entertainment with lots of dancing and good luck wishes to the bride and groom.

Tobias watched as his wife, his wife, danced with her father. After they finished their dance, Tobias asked for permission to dance with Tris. Andrew smiled as he once again gave Tris to Tobias for their dance.

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawing me in, and you kicking me out

You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down

What's going on in that beautiful mind

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you

You're my end and my beginning

Even when I lose I'm winning

'Cause I give you all of me

And you give me all of you, oh oh

When their dance was over, Tobias went to his mother and together they shared a special dance as well. Tris watched as the man she loved above all else, her husband, danced with his mother and she had to wipe a few tears from her eyes.

"May I have this dance?" Tobias' father asked as together they went to the dance floor.

"You've made our son, a very happy man," his father said.

"The feeling is more than mutual," Tris said.

After they were finished, she danced with Will and then Zeke. During the dance Tobias decided to cut in. "I can't spend all my life with you dancing with another man," Tobias said.

"All my dances will be for you," Tris promised him, as she bit her bottom lip, "just remind me of this later."

As their guests continued to enjoy the party, Tobias and Tris quietly made their exit and made their way upstairs to the suite for the night, he picked her up in his arms and carried her into the room. Once he set her on her feet, they started to remove their wedding clothes from one another and were on the bed in a matter of seconds. He started leaving light kisses on her mouth, her cheeks before finally taking full possession of her lips.

Tris felt the flicker of his tongue probing her lips, searching for the inner sweetness they protected. At the same time his fingertips were stroking back her hair from her forehead, and then tracing the contours of her face down to the curve of her throat where they lingered.

Her breath caught in mingled apprehension and excitement as his lips followed the same path softly kissing her eyes, her cheeks, the tremulous corners of her mouth, before feathering his lips over the pulse in her throat, making it leap in anticipation.

When at last, he raised his head, Tris' face was burning, forcing her to stifle a gasp as she registered the sudden tumult in her blood. "I love looking into your eyes, to see what I'm doing to you." His hands moved over her throat, her shoulders and down, brushing her breasts with such tantalizing grace that a small, helpless sound was forced from her.

His fingers were cupping her breasts, his thumbs moving lazily, circling the rosy peaks, making them swell and harden under the enticement of his touch. She gasped as he squeezed her breasts, he instantly let go of them.

"What's wrong? Did I hurt you?" Tobias asked.

"No, they are just sensitive right now," Tris answered.

"Is it that time for you?" he asked as she just took his hands and cupped her breasts again gentlier.

"Just not too hard," she said.

"Let me try this instead," he said as his mouth moved downwards now, and he was kissing her breasts, his tongue circling round her erect nipples, creating such helpless, excruciating pleasure that this time she could only manage an incoherent whimper as she arched towards him.

"Is that better?" he whispered against her breasts as his tongue circled her breasts.

"Much, but I know what would make me feel even better," she said with a smile as he looked up at her with raised eyebrows.

"Oh? Do tell, milady," he said.

"Just go a little lower," she said.

"As you wish," he said as he explored her body, and took his time in doing so, sucking gently on her swollen nipples some more, making her arch her body up so that he would enjoy them all the more. The more time he spent there, the more she frantically wanted him to go further down...and her whole body was tingling as he finally made his way down inch by inch, as he was about to reach his final destination between her legs, he felt something, something he hadn't found until just now...

A bump on Tris.

And not just any place on Tris, but on the lower part of her belly.

"Tris?" Tobias said her name as his head snapped up to look up at her.

Tris was watching his reaction, trying to gauge his reaction to what he had just found. His eyes were twinkling with obvious surprise and what looked like hope in his eyes.

"Is this...are you...Tris, is there something you wish to tell me?" Tobias asked as his voice was full of emotions, but he tried his damnest to not let his hopes of what this might mean grow too strong. He reasoned it might just be a little extra belly, or getting close to that time of the month, though he also reasoned, he couldn't remember her swelling this much.

"I think you've already guessed my little secret," Tris said as she bit her bottom lip as Tobias moved back up to keep his arms on either side of her body, keeping his weight off her as he looked down into her face.

"Are you pregnant, Tris?" Tobias asked. Wanting, no, needing to know the answer to this.

"Yes," she whispered her precious answer to him.

Tobias let out a nervous laugh then a huge smile grew on his face as he bit his bottom lip as he simply said, "Thank you." She felt a sigh of relief upon his reaction.

He kissed her lips deeply, making her feel all giddy inside. Then he made his way down her body, dropping an occasionally peck here and there until he arrived back at that bump. "And thank you, my little one, for choosing us as your parents."

"I'm going to be a father," Tobias said in pure happiness.

"Not for about seven months," she warned. "Time to get used to the idea."

His blue eyes skimmed her upturned features, "Tris," he said as he moved back up and stroked her cheek with a loving finger, "You were not sure if I'd be pleased?"

"Well, it wasn't something we planned," she answered.

"Tris, listen to me," Tobias said, "I didn't plan to fall in love. I didn't plan to marry. But you changed all that." He gave a fierce smile that made her pulse leap and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. "I will love this baby and cherish him or her as much as I cherish his or her mother."

The raw sincerity in his voice made her eyes fill with emotional tears, "Hormones," she sniffed.

"You are adorable," he said, kissing the tip of her pink nose, "And very beautiful. Our baby will be-"

"About the baby, Tobias," she said, putting her hands on the side of his face. "As it's early, and sometimes things happen...do you mind if we wait to tell anyone just yet?"

Tobias studied her face and felt a soul piercing stab of tenderness. "It will be our little secret." he agreed, laying a hand back on her belly.

"Not so much a secret if you're going to continue to do that in front of people," Tris said, but she didn't try to move his hand. She liked the feel of it there, it made her feel safe and loved.

Tobias started to touch her again, letting his hand move between her legs, she was so wet there, melting like candle wax. He positioned himself at her entrance, she rose up to meet him, arching upward and opening herself even more to him. He surged into her warmth, joining them indelibly with one deep thrust. They were locked together, forming a whole, mated into one.

"I love all of you," Tobias said as he cupped her buttocks, lifting her, filling her, taking her again and again. From deep inside, from a closely protected place, an unfurling began, a glorious blossoming. It leaked out, then poured out, streaming forth in hungry waves. The tidal force surged through her, sweeping past everything.

"Tobias!" It was a cry of ultimate capitulation and they both knew it. He drove into her one more time, melding them, fusing their bodies and hearts and souls. He moved gently from her and laid on his back, and pulled her to his side as he gently rubbed her back lightly with his fingers. Tris raised her head and they kissed, and as she tried to pull him back on top of her, he stopped her.

"We're going to stay here until after tomorrow, then we're going to Paris until after the new year," Tobias said.

"I don't care where we go as long as we're together," Tris said.

"The three of us now," Tobias said as his hand slid protectively, lovingly over her belly.

"I'm also sure junior would love to go there as well," Tris said.

"Junior? So sure it's going to be a boy are you?" Tobias asked as his hand moved slightly over her belly.

"Wouldn't you like a junior?" Tris asked.

Tobias couldn't help the smile that broke over his face as he thought of them having a junior in their lives, "A junior or a little princess, as long as you're their mother."

"Their? How many would you like to have?" Tris asked.

"As many as you would like to have," Tobias answered truthfully, he would be just as happy with one as with five. If Tris wanted only one, then they would only have one, but with how they conceived this one, then either she would need to be on the pills again or he would have to be snipped. He didn't envy being snipped, but Tris would have to make the call on that issue.

"Let's start with one, and after one we'll decide, together," Tris said.

"Then you have yourself a partner," Tobias said.

"For life," Tris commented as she laid her head on his arm as they closed their eyes and started to drift off to sleep

*********PAGEBREAK******

Tris looked so beautiful, covered in sweat and panting. "You are so beautiful," Tobias whispered into her ear as he then kissed her cheek.

"Shut up. I look like death warmed over," she complained. He knew she didn't see what he did because she was in the middle of being torn apart.

"I love when you're all sweaty and panting, though."

"I may cut your cock off. Keep messing with me," she growled as another contraction took over.

The nurse passed behind Tobias to get some more towels and whispered, "You're not the first man to be given the snip-snip threats." Then she turned to his wife and said, "Oh darling, it's almost time and your husband is right. For a woman in labor you look gorgeous." Josie smiled at her thanking her with a blush.

"I'm sorry, but I think you are perfect." Tobias kissed her brow after wiping away the beads of perspiration. His poor wife was in the middle of delivering their baby, but he couldn't stop smiling. Maybe it was because he was nervous, or possibly due to being so damn happy. She was gorgeous to him even with her hair all messed up and threatening to Bobbitt him.

"We're ready to push," the doctor told her. She smiled at the doctor too but grunted and pushed hard. Tobias held her hand and leg, looking between her thighs. He could see the hair darkened with blood. His baby was coming any moment now. He turned to Tris, and said, "You're doing wonderful. Our baby is almost here." She squeezed his hand, pushed with all her might and little Thea was born.

A wail erupted then she was given to her mom. "Tobias, she's here and she's perfect," Tris cried, caressing her little face.

"Just like you," Tobias agreed, placing a kiss on her head then on their little angel's. The nurses took her and they finished cleaning up Tris. "You did so well."

"I'm sorry for threatening to cut your dick off earlier," she whispered.

"It's fine, love. I love you and the way you flashed me the day we met." He winked then twisted his hips, so she didn't grab his cock. The doctor laughed, and Tris shook her head. He still wasn't going to trust her just yet. He'd give it those six weeks.

The nurse finished up with the baby and turned to hand her to Tris, who then turned to Tobias. "I think she wants her Daddy to hold her." The nurse smiled and handed her to Tobias.

The staff cleaned the room, to give the new parents some time with their newborn. Tobias gently sat on Tris' side on the bed, holding their baby. They looked down at Thea's little face, her chubby little cheeks, her tiny fingers, which one grabbed one of Tobias'. "Thank you, Tris."

"For what?" She asked.

"For making me a Daddy. For Loving me. And more importantly, for being you." Tobias said as he leaned in and kissed her lips gently.

"It was my pleasure…well literally." Tris said with a smirk.

Two people drawn to one another, falling in love with one another, found their happy ending.

The End.
