It's been pretty hectic these past two months, seeing how Ty turned twenty three and Hannah turned two. Dylan is now almost six months old, which seems weird. It feels like Dylan has been here for years but it also seems like he's been here for minutes, like he was just born yesterday.

Also, to add to the craziness of these past months, Olivia finally tied the knot with Travis. Travis came and asked Ty for advice, seeing how they get along pretty well and since Ty has already gotten married.

It was a really beautiful ceremony, Ty the best man and I playing the role of the Maid of Honor. Lucas got to be the ring bearer and Hannah got to be the flower girl.

Jordan, Jeanine, and the Elite are still as power hungry as they were when Ty was captured, nearly three months ago. They're definitely still up to something, I can feel it. I mean, they haven't pulled any stunts, but I can still feel the tension. I'm still suspicious.

I feel pressure on my stomach and lips on my neck, and I fall back into Ty. "You ready to go, babe?" He mumbles against the skin on my neck. I nod as I gasp for breath, and Ty spins me around to kiss me on the lips. We link hands where we stand in the middle of the living room and then walk out of the apartment, shutting and locking the door behind us.

Hannah and Dylan are currently staying with my mother and father, really just my father since my mother set out to go to the Abnegation sector this morning since my grandmother is sick.

"You okay?" Ty asks me as we walk down the pit paths on our way to the Pire to go to work. Ty insisted on keeping his leadership job just because he felt that it would be better for him to be near me if the Erudite come after me, which I didn't object to because I don't want to go through what Ty had to.

"Oh, I'm fine." I say to him and he furrows his eyebrows, then wraps an arm around me.

"Are you sure?" He asks me. "You seem really quiet this morning." He kisses my temple, then rubs little circles on my back.

"Oh, do I?" I state, but it's in question form. It's silent for a minute, then I add, "I'm just thinking about the past few months."

He nods just as we arrive at the elevator. The doors open and we step inside. When the doors close, Ty presses the top floor button, and then stares ahead at the doors.

Just looking at Ty's body in his tight black shirt and his black jeans, how the fabric of his shirt sticks to his skin, it seems to turn me on. I move to stand in front of him, and I wrap my arms around his neck.

He kisses me, and I am quick to move to wrap my legs around his waist. He pulls away and lays our foreheads together. I have that annoying yet sweet feeling that I'm still miles and miles away from him even though our bodies are pressed together. I look over his shoulder and see millions of the two of us in the mirrored walls.

I smile, then get down when the elevator dings, signaling our arrival to the top floor. Ty smirks at me when I get down, and then links hands with me when the doors creep open. We step out and walk down the hallways.

We stand in front of our doors and I kiss him once more before I let go of his hand and open my door. Before I shut it, I smile at him, then wink.
