The Cheater and The Innocent

I was in the apartment with my baby Theo, washing the dishes, while he was watching T.V.

"Dadda," he screeched. I almost dropped the plate I was holding.

"What did you say baby?"

"Dadda," he said again pointing at the picture frame, with Tobias holding him for the first time.

I have to tell him, but he's at work. I look at Theo and look back at my dishes. Screw dishes, its not everyday your son says his first word.

"Come on Theo," I said, "Lets go see dadda."

"Dadda?" Theo says again.

"Dadda." I say.

I pick him up and rest him on my hip. We walk to the control room. When we get there only Zeke is sitting there. When he sees me he quickly covers up the screen.

" Hey Zeke," I said casually.

"Hey Tris," he said quickly exiting out of the screen and bringing up a new one, "What brings you here?"

"Where's Four?" I ask.

"Not here. On a break," he said looking back to the screen.

"Zeke what are you hiding from me?" I say raising an eyebrow.

"Nothing," he said.

" Then let me see the screen," he shows me, "Not that one. The one you were looking at before. The one you changed when I walked in."

"This was the one."

"Zeke don't piss me off. Theo kept me up all night. You don't want to piss off a sleep deprived mother."

"Alright baby momma calm down," he exits out of the screen he had, and brings up the other one.

Now I kind of wish he hadn't shown me. I see Tobias has Marlene pushed against the wall, with her legs around his waist, making out. His shirt is coming off and Marlene is running her hand up and down his body. Then he starts kissing her neck.

"Dadda!" Theo points

I back away slowly and look at Zeke in horror.

"Tris," He starts

"How long did you know?" I ask

He doesn't answer

"How long Zeke?" I say through gritted teeth

" A few weeks ago I caught them on camera, but I know that they've been going at it for longer."

"Does Uriah know?"

"No. I'm his older brother I can't break his heart by telling him. It would kill him if he found out.

"Well you doing much worse by keeping this from him," I say as I storm out.

I walk to the Dauntless leader's apartment.

"Hey Uri, can you buzz me through, I have to tell you something," I say through the speaker.

"Sure," the door opens and I walk into his apartment. Since he is a Dauntless leader in training he has the biggest apartment.

"What do you want to talk about, baby mama," he said giving me a wide grin, taking Theo from me, and playing with him.

"Uriah, stop playing with my child and listen its serious!" I yell

Uriah looks at me with concern and just puts a drowsy Theo on his bed.

"What's wrong Tris?" he asks

I start to tell him but images of Four and Marlene sprawled on the floor enter my mind. Its too hard for me to handle so I do the only thing I can do. I cry

I start wailing and Uriah sitting in shock for a minute tries to calm me down.

" Its going to be okay Tris," he says trying to sooth me, "Whatever it is, if its something with you an Four I can help you okay?"

I suddenly wipe my tears.

"Actually Uriah, there is nothing you can do about Four and I ."

He looks confused

With a deep breath I tell him. "Four cheated on me."

The look of surprise on Uriah's face makes me want to cry again but I don't.

"With who?" he asks

"Marlene."

"What?" he exclaimed, "You're my friend Tris. I can't believe you would have the audacity to make this up."

I'm about to explain when his face softens, "But you wouldn't make this up. Oh, Tris," he hugs me, "How'd you find out?"

"I walked into the control room and Zeke was watching them on the monitors and he showed me."

"How long did he know?"

"A few weeks," he sits down and run his hands through his hair.

"How could he not tell me? Or you. I don't know who I'm more mad at,"

His face crumples. Oh god he really did love Marlene.

" Where did you see them?" he growls

"Four is going to die for putting his hands on my girlfriend."

"The hallway outside Mar's apartment," I say rubbing my eyes which grew red and puffy, " but I'm coming with you, I-I need to hear what Four has to say."

He nods but looks at Theo, sleeping blissfully and we both think the same thing.

"Theo," I whisper quietly "wake up my baby."

I slowly pick him up and he doesn't even stir. His head is lying on my neck and he looks so peaceful.

"Ready? Uriah asks me

"No."

We walk out of the apartment and head towards Marlene's.

We get there and knock on her door. I hear a dissatisfied moan, and Marlene

Comes to the door, hair very messy and shirt backwards.

"Uri," she gasps.

"How long has this been this going on?"

"What? How did you-"

"How long Marlene?"

"A month," she sighs.

"I should have known," he says, and let's out a short breathy laugh, "All of the times I wanted to hang out, you were 'busy.'"

"Please Uri, you have to understand-"

"Understand. Understand what? That you weren't happy with me? You now what don't waste your breath Mar. We're through."

"Uriah please," she says grabbing his arm. He shakes it of and pushes past her into her room. Four is standing there getting his pants on but Uriah stops him.

"How could you?" Uriah yells , "How could you she was my girlfriend? I loved her man."

Four says, " Uri , I'm sorry I don't know what happened between me and Mar but its my fault so don't hate her because its my fault ."

"Damn straight its your fault," Uriah says and then punches Four's nose.

Four shrieks and holds his bloody nose as Uriah kicks his stomach twice then his groin.

Four groans and clutches his groin but doesn't get a break. Uriah picks him up by his neck and punches his face.

When he finally stops I walk out from behind the doorpost holding a now awake Theo. I look at Four. Never have I ever seen him so broken. Lying on the floor, a pool of blood lying around the spot where he fell after Uriah punched him.

He sees me and Theo and says, " Tris….. I'm sorry

"For what? Fucking my best friend. Was I not good enough? I get it I'm not pretty I don't have curves. You could have told me that's better than what you were doing. Just to let you know, you will never be in my son's life."

"Dadda?" Theo tilts as if asking if he's all right.

I throw my wedding ring at him and I see the hurt in his eyes as Theo calls out to him, and I walk out following Uriah.

I have to run because of my short legs and Uriah's fast pace, he slows when I reach him.

"I say we drop off this little child to Zeke and Shauna's for the night and we get really, really drunk." He says

"Sure, but you're sure they won't mind."

"Well Zeke knows he owes us, plus they need the practice. The newest addition to Pedrad family is only a month away."

"Okay."

We pick up some of Theo's stuff from my apartment and head over to Zeke and Shauna's

"Hey," Zeke says sheepishly, "How's it going?"

I face Zeke, "I just lost my husband today and Theo lost his father how do you think I would feel?"

"Zeke!" Shauna yelps, " how could you ask that?"

Zeke looks guilty and says, "Shauna is right I should be asking you Tris . I'm sorry I didn't tell you or you Uri but I didn't want to believe it."

" Thanks for saying that," Uriah says , "but it's a little too late for apologies."

I hand Shauna my Theo, who had been quiet the entire time and kiss his dark curly head.

"Momma will be back okay baby?" I say to him

Theo doesn't say anything but looks at me with his dark blue eyes. Damn it he just had to look so much like Four.

We leave and hit the bar after.

"To no shit," I say to Uriah, raising my beer.

"To no shit," he says grinning, taping his beer against mine. We both drink half of the bottle after out first swig.

After 5 beers everything is swaying. And I'm giggling at everything. I suddenly have a great idea, dauntless or candor

"Candor or dauntless?" I ask

"Dauntless," he slurs

I put his hand on my thigh and move it up and down. He looks down and gives me this watery smile

"Lets go back to my place" I can barely get the words out. I guess being drunk isn't he best thing in the world.

I can barely put the key in the door because Uriah keeps making me laugh. But when we finally get in he kisses me.

A long, slow kiss that's meant for people you love. I kiss him back and I can tell he didn't think I would. The kiss deepens and soon we are making out .

I push him on the bed and straddle his waist. I pull of his shirt and run my hands over his chest and abs, earning a low moan from him.

He unbuttons my shirt and thrown it across the room. I start to undo the buttons on his jeans. He does the same.

As we fight to get each other's jeans off first he flips us over, kissing down my neck, sucking and biting. I let out a moan.

I finally get his jeans off.

He stops for a second, "Are you sure Tris?"

I respond by kissing him.

And well I think you know what happened after that.
