Hey everyone! This is my first fanfic. So basically, this story takes place post- Tris' torture during Insurgent, and many years in the future. I won't be following the events in Allegiant, so some things will be changed. I hope you enjoy this story, and kind reviews are appreciated. Enjoy!

Prologue – in a field outside of the fence

"Stiff, they killed him. After I took you."

Tris could only stare into Peter's cold eyes before her legs gave out, falling on the hard ground.

Peter watched her as she screamed, sobbed, and beat the ground with her fists. He didn't even try to console her.

"What happened?" she said through her sobs.

"When I was carrying you out, I saw them take him to the room that they 'killed' you in. I heard the heart monitor go silent-,"

"WHY COULDN'T YOU SAVE HIM?!" she yelled, looking up at him with her red-shot eyes.

Peter groaned. "Because, I owed you. I didn't owe him anything."

Tris slowly got up with the strength she had left, and she slapped him across the face.

"I hate you," she growled, before turning around to walk away from him.

"Don't bother coming back!" he called out to her.

"They will kill you if they find out you're alive! And you're welcome for saving your life by the way! Not that you're worth the time of day."

Tris stopped, and turned her head.

She glared at him, before she continued on towards the unknown.

There was nothing left for her to go back to.

2 months later

Beatrice 'Tris' Prior always knew that she was a survivor.

She survived through her Dauntless initiation, her parents' death, the war, torture, a near death experience, getting exiled from the city by Peter, and learning that her boyfriend was killed. But when she passed out in Amar's apartment early on that April morning, she thought that death finally caught up with her.

However, the doctors at the 'hospital' told her that she was two months pregnant. Even though Tris was shocked by the news, she wasn't entirely surprised.

Tris and Tobias slept together the night that she snuck away to Erudite to sacrifice herself, and they didn't have any protection with them. They risked it anyway, and Tris didn't care since she was going to die soon enough.

But ever since she left the city, she was so wrapped up in grief that it didn't cross her mind that she could be pregnant- even though she had all the symptoms.

Tris started to cry, and the doctors told her that everything would be all right.

"But how?" she told them. "I'm sixteen, I have no family, no money… I'm all alone. I can't be a good mother…,"

"But you have us, Beatrice."

She looked up, and saw George and Amar leaning in the doorway. Tris couldn't help but smile a little.

When Tris was kicked out of Chicago, Amar found her while he was on his way to talk to someone inside of the fence. He brought her back to his and George's apartment in a small town two hours away, and she's been living in their guest room ever since.

She was so grateful to them, especially now that she found out that she's pregnant. She just hoped she wouldn't become too much of a burden.

As the months went by, they helped her with everything- buying things for the baby, buying her maternity clothes, and making her cups of tea when her emotions got the best of her. She promised them she would get a job, and pay them back eventually.

Amar suggested that she should eventually go to 'college', whatever that was.

They were even there for her when she was in labour.

It was a hard labour, too. Tris was a tiny woman, so when the doctors estimated that her baby was around nine pounds she didn't know how she would get her baby out.

Pushing out her baby was the most painful experience she ever had to endure, and she never screamed so much in her life.

She cried out for Tobias, even though he wasn't there. She wanted him with her so badly, and started doubting that she could do this alone. It has been- and always will be- hard without him.

But when she saw her baby for the first time, she knew it was all worth it.

"It's a girl!" the doctor announced, placing her daughter in her arms.

Tris stared at her baby in awe. She had dark hair, blue eyes, and rosy cheeks. She was perfect, and beautiful in every way.

She silently thanked Tobias for sending her this precious gift, and wondered if he was watching over them.

More tears fell down her cheeks, as she placed a kiss on the little girl's forehead.

"Welcome to the world, Taylor Natalie," she whispered.

"Mommy will always protect you. Always."

Chapter 1

14 years later

"Wake up, Beatrice! We are almost there."

Beatrice's eyes fluttered open, hearing George's voice.

"Already?" she groaned, slowly lifting her head away from the car window.

"Yes. I can see that ugly fence up behind the trees."

Beatrice straightened her body a bit more and Taylor, who was sleeping against her mother, started to wake up too. Beatrice stroked her daughter's dark hair, and she leaned to the middle a bit to get a better view.

There it was. Even in the darkness of the night, she could see the tall fence surrounding the city of Chicago. Even though they don't need the fence anymore, it was still there.

Amar heard that it would costs millions of dollars to take it down, which the city doesn't have.

Beatrice sighed. She never wanted to come back here, especially with him being gone. But when Amar told her that the Divergents were starting to disappear again, she knew she had to do something.

That's when Amar helped her get in contact with her old friend, Christina, who thought that Beatrice was dead for all this time. They were both very emotional on the phone, and Beatrice was excited to see her best friend again.

Christina is the leader of the investigation, so she was able to quickly get her in. Ever since the war in Chicago ended, they were letting people who lived outside of the fence in, as long as they lived by the city's rules.

While she was talking to Christina, she asked what happened after she left and what city was like today, since Amar only knew of some details. Christina told her that after Jeanine was killed by Tori, the Factionless took over. The city was governed by Evelyn, who wanted a factionless city. She was later killed by Marcus, who wanted his power back. He soon re-established the faction system- which appealed more to the citizens than having a factionless city. Now, it is optional during the choosing ceremony to choose to be factionless, especially if you're Divergent. It is also optional to transfer factions, but you have to go through a process and go to another choosing ceremony that is separate from the main choosing ceremony.

It was all too complicated, so Beatrice would have to wait until she arrived to understand it all.

She just worried about bringing in Taylor, who just celebrated her fourteenth birthday. Amar and George offered to take her in, since they are almost like grandfathers to her. However, despite everything that is going on in Chicago, Beatrice couldn't bear leaving her daughter behind. She knew though it probably would be best to leave Taylor with them, but she couldn't do it.

She pushed her worries aside, and kissed her daughter's forehead.

Dauntless compound

In his Dauntless apartment, Tobias 'Four' Eaton woke up in a start.

He had been dreaming of the day that he last saw her. The day that his girlfriend, Tris, was executed by Jeanine. He didn't have that dream for a couple of years.

Why now?

He just started to slowly move on from that terrible day, even though it's been fourteen and a half years. Why did his mind have to bring it up again?

He wiped the sweat off of his forehead, and he got out of bed. He walked to this office, where he opened his secret compartment underneath his desk.

That is where he kept his pictures of Tris, whatever still frames he could get from the security camera footage in Dauntless. He used to stare at these pictures all the time, but he didn't look at them for the past two years.

Not since he-

Four's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on his office door. He quickly put the pictures back, before his fiancée, Ruth, walked in.

"Babe, I saw you get out of bed. Why are you in the office at this hour?"

Four sighed. "Nothing, Ruthie. Just go back to bed, I'll be there soon."

Unconvinced, Ruth frowned and left.

Four put his head in his hands, and ran his fingers through his dark hair. Even though it was wrong, Four only proposed to Ruth because he decided to settle for second-best.

His real paradise was lost forever.

Some things might be confusing right now, but everything will be explained in the upcoming chapters.
