Life in Death

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or anything from the Matrix, this is just my attempt at writing about them…

Gradually I opened my eyes only to shut them again being blinded by the brightness encompassing me. Slowly they adjusted, and I couldn't quite register where I as. Soon it all came back to me in a wave of shock, pain, fear, and most prevalently: loneliness. This realization was that I was dead. I knew it was my time, but in my heart I felt sharp pains. I can't live…exist without Neo. I have always been a very strong person, but Neo was the thing that kept me going. He was all together my greatest strength, and my greatest weakness. Soon something else came back to me as I looked down at my stomach, subconsciously stroking it with my fingers. I had wanted to tell him, but I wasn't sure of it until it was too late.

I had my suspicions, after the night in Zion I noticed myself feeling nocuous quite often. At first I dismissed it, but then I got this feeling as if something were different. Someone was growing inside of me. Our child. It pained me so much to think that our baby would not survive as I realized that I was going to die. I just hope it knows I loved it, that I still love it. I should have told Neo, but I couldn't do it. The first time I realized for sure was in my dying moments. I felt the baby die inside of me. I felt it let go of it's short life, and I couldn't tell him. I couldn't cause him any more pain. When I looked up at him his face and his voice were filled with fear and pain. I had to be strong for him. He couldn't know.

The final thing I remember was the feeling of our last kiss. Our lips met with such passion, such love, everything we needed to say was in that kiss….everything but this. Now he will never know he was going to be a daddy. I wish I had another chance to tell him my news, but he already gave me my wish the first time he brought me back……
