"Congratulations Matt and Willow!" Vince said as he approached them after the show "and congratulations on the pregnancy. Does this mean you'll be leaving us Willow?" "To be honest Vince, i havent thought about it" Willow replied "I've just been so focussed on getting away from Victor and then today happened. Im still trying to get used to this freedom" "Why dont you take the jet back home? Spend christmas together and have a tink about what you want to do" Vince said as Matt said "thank you Vince. For everything" as they headed off towards the jet, still in their wedding outfits.
"I cant wait to get home, put this one to bed and finally relax" Willow said as she lay her head on Matts shoulder, where he turned his head and kissed her forehead. "It has been a very long four years, but we made it. Im proud of you today, you stood up to him and now we are finally free of him" he said as he took her hand. "We're free of him" she corrected as she kissed him. "Matt ive been thinking. I dont want to get Jasmine tested. I dont want to put her through it" Willow said, addressing the issue that had arose from Victors attempt at blackmail. "Wills, are you sure?" Matt asked as Willow nodded. "Im sure Matt. Its like you said, shes your mini me. Shes your double. Shes your daughter, but at the end of the day it up to you. Do you want to know?" "Wills i love you. I love Jas if this is what you want, then so do I" Matt replied as Willow kissed him.
A few hours later, they were pulling up to the house. Willow picked up a sleeping Jasmine and carried her into the house as Matt grabbed the bags. As Willow carried Jasmine upstairs, she briefly woke and asked "Mommy? Where are we" "We're home Jas" Willow replied as she changed Jasmine into her pyjamas. "Mommy, you looked really really pretty tonight. You looked like a princess" Jasmine said sleepily as Willow put her to bed, just as Matt came and stood at the doorway. "You were the most beautiful girl there Jasmine Belle Hardy. Now its time for sleep. Santa comes tonight and when you wake up you're going to have lots and lots of presents to open" Willow said as she kissed her daughters forehead and watched as Jasmine closed her eyes as Matt crept up behind her and put his arms around her.
"She wasnt lying. You do look amazing" Matt whispered as Willow turned to face him, smiling. "You look so sexy in that suit Mr Hardy" Willow replied as she kissed him her hands running all over his body. "Wills are you sure you want to do this?" Matt asked as they made their way to the bedroom, Willow nodded and bit her lip. "Im sure Matt. We can still have sex, we just cant be as 'wild' as we used to be" she said as Matt unfastened her dress as Willow let it fall to the floor as the two lovers fell into bed together.
Willow awoke a few hours later, turned her head the bed and smiled. "I love it when you smile" Matt said quietly as Willow replied"Its been a long time since ive been this happy" moving closer to her husband she asked. "Did yesterday really happen?" as she looked her engagement and wedding ring on her finger "I just doesnt feel real yet" "It really happened Mrs Hardy. I do feel bad that Dad wasnt there though" Matt replied as Willow nodded. "But now we have this one to look forward too" he said as he placed a hand on her tiny bump, adding "Im still trying to work out the how and when. I dont even know how far along you are" "Im almost 20 weeks, which puts time of conception around the time that we made up after i found you and..." Willow began to reply but Matt cut her off with a kiss. "Dont say her name. That night was a mistake and ive regretted it ever since" "We overcame that and we made up and thats when this one was created" Willow replied "as for the how, its come so much easier and quicker than we could have predicted. They are our miracle" "Our little miracle. Made with so much love" Matt said as he kissed Willow, just as Jasmine ran into the room.
"MOMMY! DADDY! SANTAS BEEN" Jasmine squealed excitedly, "Jas its 3:30. You need to go back to bed" Matt said as Willow pretended to sleep."But daddy, i cant sleep. I wanna go open presents" Jasmine said as she climbed on to the bed as Willow said "Jas, you wanna join us for family cuddles?" Jasmine nodded as she climbed in the middle of her parents. "Mommy, what did you mean earlier by four of us?" Jasmine asked as she snuggled up next to Matt. "When moms and dads love each other very much they kiss and cuddle alot" Willow began to explain as Jasmine said "Like you and daddy" "Just like me and daddy. Sometimes the kisses and cuddles make a litte baby and theres a baby growing in my tummy right now" Willow said as she invited Jasmine to feel her bump. "So theres a baby in there?" Jasmine asked as she touched Willows tiny bump as Matt added "Thats your little brother or sister in there" "But daddy, what if i dont want one?" Jasmine asked as Willow laughed as Matt said "Sorry, Jas. Thats not an option right now. But going to sleep is, otherwise Santa will come back and take away all the presents" "Ok daddy but only if i can stay in here" "Of course you can baby" Matt said as Jasmine sunggled in close to him and closed her eyes, as all three of them fell asleep.
Jasmine awoke 3 hours later. "Mommy, Daddy? Can we go open presents now?" she said as she shook Matt and Willow awake. "10 more minutes Jas" Willow mumbled "No now mommy now!" "You ok Wills?" Matt asked, still waking up as Willow nodded. "Im fine Matt, just tired still" she replied as Matt kissed her "you want me to take her for a bit? Keep her entertained so you can sleep in?" he asked as Willow replied "She'll get louder and louder until i get up. Plus im in a good position to not feel like i want to go throw up" "Come on mommy! I wanna go open presents!" Jasmine said frustrated that Willow and Matt were refusing to move. "Jasmine, 10 minutes ok. Then we can go get up for presents" Matt said as he began to tickle Jasmine, who began to laugh. "Hey Wills, want to tag in?" Matt asked as Willow joined in the tickle fight. "NO FAIR!" Jasmine yelled whilest laughing as Willow suddenly stopped and placed her hands on her stomach. "Wills? You ok?" Matt asked as she nodded "Matt put your hands here" she said as Matt placed his hands on her bump and felt his baby kick for the first time. "Is this the..." he began to say as Willow interrupted him and said "first time? Yeah" "This is the best christmas ever!" Matt said as Jasmine started pushing him out of the bed. "I got my two favourite girls here and now we have bump too. I love you guys" "And we love you too Matt. Now i do believe that Princess Jasmine is after presents" Willow replied, finally giving into her daughters demands.
"Elly and Phil are in Chicago with his family, Brooke and Christian are in Texas with her mom and sister. So that leaves us, Jeff and Trish, Mom, Adam, Nevaeh and your dad" Willow said as Jasmine opened her presents as Matt had asked who they were expecting at the house that day. "Im just relieved that we decided on having a table full of party nibbles. I dont think i could have handled being in the kitchen all day" Willow added as Matt kissed her. "We got pizza, we got ham. The others are bringing dishes" he said, "If you dont want to cook, i dont mind doing most of it" "Thanks Matt. Its just some smells are still making me want to throw up" Willow said as Matt put his arms around her and kissed her. "Eeeew gross" Jasmine said as she finished opening her presentsand caught her parents kissing. "So what did santa leave for you Jas?" Matt asked "He left me all these dolls and clothes and a bike!" Jasmine exclaimed excitedly as she showed Matt all her new toys, Willow began smiling. "What did Santa leave for you daddy?" Jasmine asked as Matt thought about it, before replying "Santa got me you, your mom and now your little brother or sister. They are the best presents anyone has ever left for me" "Matt, Santa left you this under the tree" Willow said as she produced a beautifully wrapped present. "Wills, you didnt have to get me anything. Just having you both here is enough for me" he whispered so only Willow could hear him, "Its christmas Matt. I didnt know if i was even going to be here so i had to get you something" she replied as he unwrapped it. "Wills, this is amazing. I love it" Matt said as he unwrapped a framed picture of Willow and Jasmine. The same picture he had taken a few months earlier that he named 'My World'
"Did my ears hear correctly? Im getting another grandchild?" Gil asked a few hours later as the family started to arrive for christmas. "Yes you are Gil. Its come as a shock to us too, especially after everything thats happened this last year" Willow replied as Matt slid his hand into hers. "And Matt, you got married? Where was my invite?" he asked as Matt replied "sorry dad. It was a very last minute deal. Even we didnt know, Elly put it all together last minute. Kept it a secret from everyone" "We are thinking about having a small ceremony here in a few weeks for everyone who wasnt there" Willow said as Gil hugged her and said "Welcome to the family" "Matt do you mind keeping an eye on Jas for 10 mins? I just want to go take a shower" Willow asked as Matt nodded "Wills, go. Everyone will be here shortly" as Willow headed upstairs, Gill asked Matt "Is she ok Matt? She looks a bit pale" "Wills is ok dad. Shes just struggling a bit with certain smells. They make her want to throw up" Matt replied "Plus shes still getting used to being away from Victor" "So hes definitley gone then?" Gil asked as Matt nodded. "From what we were told, hes going away for life. Possibly on death row, awaiting the death penalty" he replied as Jeff and Trish arrived. "Hey Matt, wheres Wills?" Jeff asked as Jasmine ran over to him and said "Uncy Jeff come see my new bike" "Shes just upstairs getting ready Jeff, you ok to watch this one for 5 minutes so i can go check on her?" Matt replied as Jeff nodded, before heading upstairs.
"Wills, you ok in there?" Matt asked as he heard the shower running. After getting no answer, he opened the door and entered the bathroom. He saw Willows silhouette behind the glass as he locked the door behind him and stripped, stepping into the shower with Willow. "Matt what are you doing?" she asked as she turned to face him. "This is going to be the only time we get to spend together today without interruptions" He replied as they kissed under the flow of the water. "Matt, everything i said yesterday, i meant every single word. You have done so much for me and ive put you through hell" she said as felt tears building up "but this, this is everything i ever wanted. Everything i've fought for, everything we've fought for, for the last four years. I love you" "I love you too Wills. You dont have to worry about him anymore" Matt replied as he put his arms around her and held her. "Im still scared of him. Even though hes gone, i still dont believe he's finished with me" she said "But im focussing on us, on Jas and this little one. I want to be able to get past him" "And we will, together. Wills, i know youre struggling. I can see it. You want to talk later? Once everyone has gone and Jas is in bed?" Matt said as Willow nodded. "Will you not say anything to anyone? I dont want them worrying about me" "I wont say a thing" He replied before kissing her.
The afternoon flew by Jasmine and Nevaeh were playing on the floor with their new toys, Matt and Willow were on the sofa, Willows head in his lap as he held her, protecting their bump. Gil was asleep in the old armchair, Amy and Trish were talking as Jeff and Adam had gone to get more beer. Willow had her eyes closed, although she wasnt asleep, she was well on her way. "Hows she doing Matt? With everything that happened yesterday and now the baby..." Jeff asked as Willow replied "She is doing ok. Im awake and can still hear you" "Sorry Wills, thought you were asleep" Jeff replied as Willow opened her eyes. "Im just a bit tired, Jas had us up early this morning" "Why dont you go take a nap Wills? Youve been falling asleep for the last few hours" Matt said as he kissed her forehead. "I might just have to do that. This one has been kicking away for the last 30 minutes" she replied as she sat up. "Sorry guys, I hope i havent spoiled your day" Willow said as she stood up as Amy replied "not at all Wills" as Trish added "We've all been there. Go sleep. Im probably due one too if im honest" "Thanks guys. You guys mind if tomorrow Matt and I spend the day together? Its just been a while since we've had a day to ourselves" Willow asked as Amy said "You guys deserve a week alone after everything. You want us to take Jas for the day?" "That would be amazing, thanks Ames" Matt said as Willow kissed him before heading upstairs. "Matt is she really ok?" Amy asked once her daughter had disappeared up the stairs. "Wills is adjusting. Shes still scared of the thought of him coming back" he replied "If im honest, im still getting my head around Wills being pregnant" "I thought you wanted anonther one Matt?" Adam asked as Matt nodded "I do. I just didnt think it would happen this quickly or easily" "Embrace it Matt. Wills is going to need you throughout this pregnancy" Amy replied as Matt said "every chance i get, im going to be here. With my girls" "Does this mean that Wills has decided not to go back on the road?" Amy asked, "Im not sure Ames. I'd love her to be but if she needs to stay home to rest then we'll work around it. At the end of the day its her choice" Matt replied as Jeff, Trish and Gil all got up to leave. "Matt, look after her" Jeff said as Trish added "you guys have never looked happier than you have today" "Thanks Trish. Have a safe trip up to Canada you guys" Matt replied as the three left the room, with Amy and Adam leaving not long after, taking Nevaeh and Jasmine with them.
Willow awoke a few hours later, she heard the silence in the house and dressed in one of Matts oversized shirts and headed downstairs. "Hey you're awake" Matt said as Willow straddled him on the sofa and kissed him. "Wills, what are you doing?" he asked as Willow began to strip him. "Dont talk, just kiss me" She whispered as she removed the tshirt she was wearing. Matt couldnt resist the urge any longer. He kissed her back, his hands running over her body, stopping at their unborn baby. "You are insatiable Willow" Matt said as the newlyweds stared into each others eyes. Willow bit her lip and said "Fuck me Matt. Right here, right now" before kissing him again, only this time they didnt stop.
90 minutes later, Matt and Willow were laying on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket, breathing heavily after the wildest sex they'd had in years. "I love you Matt" Willow said as she turned to face him "I love you too Wills" he replied as he put his arms around her and held her. "You wanted to talk earlier? he said as Willow nodded. "I kinda lost my head for a bit this morning. Everything just happened so fast you know with the weddings, Victor being gone, the baby. Im still getting used to him being arrested. When youve been as scared of someone for as long i was of Victor, its going to take a while to get used to. I can still feel his presence Matt. Im still scared of him. Everything he put me through, everything hes put us through, it may take a while but I'll get there" she said as Matt kissed her. "You take as much time as you need Wills. You know that we're all here for you, even if you need me to take Jas out for a few hours so you can chill" he replied as Willow smiled and took his hands and placed them on top of hers on her bump. "Then theres this surprise. Ive had a little bit longer to try and get my head around this one but i cant. I just cant get my head around how fast and easy it happened after my operation last year. But you know what? Its the best thing to happen to us in a long time" "Have you thought about what Vince said last night?" Matt asked as Willow shook her head. "That was one of the other things i wanted to talk to you about. I want to be on the road with you and Jas as much as i can physically manage. I dont want you to miss out on this, not when you missed out on so much with Jas" she said before adding " You know there'll be days or weeks where i cant be with you, but i do want to travel for as long as possible" "Wills, i want you to come with me too. I know that you'll have days where you cant and on those days, i'll facetime you and i'll be coming straight back to be with you" Matt replied as he kissed her. "So Amy and Adam have Jasmine for the night so its just me and you. Want to watch a movie?" he asked as she nodded, picking up the tshirt she was wearing and redressed. "Elly sent this over late last night. Said it was really good, want to watch it?" Matt asked as Willow headed into the kitchen to grab some drinks and popcorn, "Sure Matt, stick it in. I'll be there in a few minutes" Willow said as rummaged in the kitchen. As she reentered the living room, Matt smiled at his wife "You always did look good in my tshirts" he joked as she sat next to him, passing him a beer. As he pressed play, Willow started giggling at what was on screen. "She sent us our wedding video? From Vegas? Thats such an Elly thing to do" she giggled as they watched as they said their vows, kissed for the first time as man and wife. "Wills, you looked amazing yesterday" Matt said as he kissed the top of her head. "That was you Matt. I still know how Elly managed to pull this off" Willow replied, a sadness in her voice that Matt hadnt noticed earlier. "Do you regret this Wills? I mean i know its not how we wanted to get married" Matt asked as Willow shook her head. "I dont but i do" she replied as Matt looked at her confused "I dont regret marrying you Matt. Not one bit. But there were just so many people missing. Mom, Your dad, Jeff, Trish, Jasmine. Not to mention friends who werent even in Vegas" she said as Matt held her tighter. "I know Wills. How about we have a ceremony here? In the barn like we planned before we go back on the road?" Matt suggested as Willow kissed him. "I'd like that, Matt. More for the people who missed out the first time round" she replied stiffling a yawn. "I think i might just head up to bed" she said as Matt asked "Are you ok? Its still early" "Im fine, just tired. The last two days have taken alot out of me." Willow said as she kissed him. "You go on up Wills. Im just going to check my emails, then i'll come up" he replied as he watched his wife head upstairs. As Matt scrolled through the junk emails, he came across two from the one person he wanted to forget about. One email was marked as "Urgent. Please read" but he ignored it and deleted it. Matt had a quick flick through the tv channels before heading upstairs to join Willow.
But before he could head up, there was a knock on the door. Who the fuck is coming here at this time? Matt thought to himself as he walked to the door. The knocking continued as Matt said "Alright, im coming" as he opened the door he got the shock of his life, a person he had wanted to forget all about. There in front of him was Nikki Bella, only she wasnt alone. Nikki was holding a baby.
