DISCLAIMER – I don't own anything related to Emmerdale and there is no copywritting intended.

A/N Ok so i've never wrote an Emmerdale fanfict before so I'm a bit nervous to see what you all think :) Enjoy!

Chapter one.

Anna sat the her desk at Holegate farm and looked at her phone for what felt like the millionth time that morning.

"Anna, he's probably still on the plane." Katie told her, as she put some more paper in the printer for the document she was working on.

"Sorry?" Anna asked, as she looked at her watch again.

"Mathew, he'll have it switched off." Katie replied.

"Well, he should have landed by now." Anna told her looking at her phone again.

"Are you sure everything's alright?." Katie asked as she knitted her eyebrows together in concern.

"I, oh i'm sorry my heads all over the place, everything's fine. I've just missed him that's all." Anna replied, not wanting to tell her the truth.

"Well if your sure, don't forget we have that meeting with Harvey Whittle at three." Katie reminded her.

"Oh could you handle it for me?." Anna asked as she diled Mathew's number again for the millionth time that day.

"Yeah, only if your sure." Katie replied as she wrote something down on the colander.

"Hi". Anna said as soon as her love picked up at the other end.

"That's good, did they pick you up alright?." She asked him.

"And your coming straight back here?." She asked him nervously.

"Wrong? Nothing's wrong, yes I'm fine. I've just missed you that's all." Anna replied, hoping he would sense something was actually wrong.

"Ok, see you then." She replied, hanging up. Relieved he didn't realize something was wrong before she had a chance to tell him herself.

20 minutes later.

As Mathew walked through the door of the office, Anna leaped up and threw her arms around him.

"What took you so long?" She asked, anxiously.

"The plane was delayed." Matthew replied.

"Let's take this into the living room." Anna told him.

All sorts of scenarios were running through his mind as he followed his girlfriend into the living room.

"God this is difficult, I don't want there to be any secrets between us." Anna rambled, nervously more to herself.

"I wasn't aware we had any." Mathew replied his mood changing instantly.

"After my dad had his attack I was angry, at Carl, at all of you." She told him.

"What did you do?." He asked her as his face darkening.

"My father wanted to bring King and Sons to it's knee's and he wanted me to help him." Anna confessed.

"What?" Mathew asked her, as he poured himself a drink.

"The information I had on Polek, I destroyed." Anna desperately tried to explain.

"Why should I believe you?" He asked her, as he sat on the sofa.

"I destroyed that information because I didn't want any part of it, I did it for you, for us." Anna told him, as she sat on the sofa next to him.

"You do realize that if we lose this contract, that's it we're finished. The house, money, cars all gone." Mathew asked as he took a sip of his scotch.

"I don't care about all that." She told her.

The couple sat in silence for what felt like an eternity but in reality it was only a few seconds.

"He's interfered in my life once to often, his name, his precious company sometimes meant more to his than his own children." Anna told him.

"I know how you feel there." Mathew replied.

"At times you and your brothers can't stand each other." Anna observed.

"We stick together when it matters." Matthew replied.

"Make me your family." Anna told him

"What?" Mathew asked, thinking he'd heard wrong.

"Marry me." Anna asked him.

"I don't care if we were destitute and living in a card bored box. As long as I have you. I love you, don't let him destroy what we have." Anna pleaded with him.

"You really mean it, don't you?." Mathew asked her.

"Would I ask if I didn't? Anytime you feel like giving me an answer." Anna told her.

"How could I refuse." Came Mathew's reply.

Just as Anna was about to throw her arms around him, the living room door was flung open and the couple were surprised to see who was stood in front of them.
