"Ok my place myt turn!" Uri calls once everyone gets here.

Chris and Will:
Zali- 16
Zoe and Patty (identical twins)- 12

Zeke and Shauna:
Dylan- 15

Uri and Mar:
Kelly- 17
Zaid- 16
Karlie- 13
Ashton- 10

Lynn and -as to be expected- no one else.

And us.

"We live here too!" Mar, Kel, Z, Kar and Ash all call out.

"Yeah, but I'm first!"

"Why Dad?" Ash asks.

"Because I'm Dad and I said so, and what I say is final."

Ash rolls his eyes, which makes me laugh.

"Okay," Uri says dragging out the 'y'. "I choose..." He rubs his chin.

"Just make the damn decision!" Zeke calls.

"Fine! I choose... Zaid! Zaid, C or D?"

Zaid thinks carefully for a second. "Well I'm not a pansycake so D."

"Yes! He used my word!" Uri jumps up and down. He points to Zeke. "And you said it would never come back. You li-"

"Dad can we get on with the game?! I chose Dauntless. Give me my dare!" Zaid says, his patients already lost.

"Okay... I dare you to... hmmmm... oh! I got it! You have to kiss the girl -or guy, its alright if you have the hots for a guy Zaid- that you like." Uri announces.

The smile on Zaid's face is hards for him to wipe off. "Okay, you see I would, but her Dad would try and kill me."

"Okay, I dare you to tell bus who she is."

"Her Dad would try and turn me into a girl!"

All the boys cringe.

"Ohhhh! That'd hurt!" My Dad cries.

"So you wouldn't castrate someone if the tried to kiss T?" Zaid asks.

"Depends who it is." Dad answers.

"In that case, I'm going to go with the first dare." Zaid tells no one in peticular

Before anyone can say anything his lips meet mine.

He kisses me and I kiss him. That is, until Dad pulls us apart.

Everyone stares wide eyed -except for the few who knew.

"I. Need. A. Ship. Name." Zali cries out.

Dad death glares her before turning back to Zaid -who he has by the collar.

"Give me one reason for you not to be one of the people I castrate?!" Dad yells.

"Dad! Please put him down."

He ignores me and continues to look at Zaid.

"Come on! Tell me why you deserve to be with my daughter!"

After a few moments Zaid speaks up. "I-i can't. That's because I don't. Tessa's an amazing person, and I don't deserve her. She's beautiful, funny, smart, kind and caring. And somehow we ended up together. I don't know how 'cause I sure as hell don't deserve her!"

The girls all 'awwwwwww'.

Tears threaten to spill from my eyes.

He's so wrong I'm the one that doesn't deserve him.

Dad let's go of Zaid. "Hurt her and I hurt you." Dad growls.

"Wouldn't dream of it." Zaid informs Dad.

Dad sits down and so does Zaid.

"Okay... where were we? Zaid, I do believe it's your turn." Shauna says.

"Um, okay... Aunt Tris, Candor or Dauntless?"

(A/N they call the others aunty/uncle/cousin)

"I did choose Dauntless."

"Egg the first person you see in the hall."

Mum waves her hand in the air. "Pfft! To easy!"

Mar goes to the kitchen, grabs an egg and hands it to Mum.

Mum and Zaid go out into the hallway for Mum's dare.

After five minutes they come back. Mums white as a ghost and Zaid has a small smile on his face.

"She had to egg some woman from Abnegation." Zaid says.

Mum looks at me. "It wasn't just some Abnegation woman. It was my mother. She said she was looking for me and Tess."

"Yeah! I told you she was my test administer."

Mum translates this to, 'she knows my test results.'

There's a knock st the door.

"That'll be her. I told her she could come in."

Everyone nods. Mum goes and answers the door.

"Mum! Come in! I see you've brought Marcus." Mum! Spits the name like venom.

Dad jumps up and runs to the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

"Yes. I had to ask for permission to visit, and he asked who I was visiting and he wanted to come also."

I grit my teeth.

"Marcus who?" Shauna asks.

Not many people know that we're related to Marcus so I don't expect them to know.

"Eaton." I tell her.

"Oh I see. What brings you here." Mum says.

"I wanted to tell that Tahlee is like you. You might not understand that today, but you will tomorrow. At the choosing ceremony tomorrow she'll join you. Please take care of her. I love you. You made the right choice. I can see that know. You have a lovely daughter. She's just like you."

"Kinda stubborn like her father." Mum tells her. She laughs.

"She fits what she got. May I come in? I want to meet everyone."

"Of course." Mum says happily. "Not you Marcus." Mum hisses.

"Why not?" He asks.

"Because your not welcome!" Mum slams the door. "You can come out now hon."

Dad emerges from the bathroom. "Hello Mrs. Prior. Good to see you once again. Its been, what, 20 odd years?" Dad greets.

"I do believe so. I also believe your my son-in-law?"

"Yes. I am the man that married you beautiful daughter."

"Uh mum, let's introduce everyone." Natalie nods.

"Okay. So that's Uriah and Marlene. The have four children. Kelly, Zaid, Karlie and Ashton." Mum says.

"Hello again Zaid. You haven't told anyone have you?"

Zaid shakes his head. "Well I'm sure you and Beatrice should talk about it. She can explain it to you."

I look at him and scoot closer. "You're divergent?" I whisper in his ear.

He nods.

Mum shakes her head. "Moving on. Zeke and Shauna with Dylan. Christina and Will have Zali and the twins, Zoe and Patty."  Natalie nods.

"And there's us. Obviously there's me and Four, Tessa -who you've already meet- and Tobin, Tessa's twin."

"Why am I always 'Tessa's twin' she's never 'Tobin's twin'!" Tobs complains.

"Tobin? Do you want to use my phone to call someone who actually cares?" I sass.

He crosses his arms. "I was just saying!"

"Okay, then there's Tayla and Tori. We're playing Candor or Dauntless, which is Truth or-"

"Beatrice, I do know what it is. I was Dauntless-born."

"Would you like to join us?"

"Is that even a question?"

"Technically speaking it was a question." Will states.

"I'm guessing you were Erudite?" Will nods.

"Well come on! Sit down. Let's get our game on." Lynn says.
