Title: Decisions Upon Discoveries. Series: Across The Bridges. Author: Carly Rating: G. Disclaimer: Matt Hardy and Amy Dumas own themselves. Summary: Matt and Amy decided what to do after she discovers about her pregnancy.

"What?" Matt questioned, taken by complete surprise. "And you're sure it's mine?" Amy nodded, a single tear slipping down her cheek. "Matt look, I just thought you deserved to know. I'm capable to take care of this baby myself," she explained, standing up and proceeding to leave but he stopped her and sat her down, kneeling in front of her. "I'm going to be there for you.but we're both with other people. Unless you tell Dan it's his and I'll support you as much as I can." Matt and Amy talked for a while before coming to the decision of staying with their current partners. She would tell Dan it was his, and Matt would pretend things were normal. Standing up, they walked into the main room. Jeff noticed something was wrong but knew neither would talk about it with everyone in the room. He looked questioningly at Amy as she sat next to him but she just shook her head and laid down on the bench. They had a match later and she still had to tell Vince that she wouldn't be able to wrestle for the next eight months. Matt watched her as she gently stroked her stomach and smiled slightly. Jeff looked between the two and wondered just what the hell was going on. He took a sip of his water, still trying to figure it out. It was then he guessed and spat his water out in shock. Everyone in the room looked at him and Amy wiped some of the water from her forehead. "Ames, come with me a minute," Jeff said, standing up. She followed him until they were outside the changing room. "Are you having Matt's baby?" "Yeah," she replied, guiltily. "It just happened. Please don't tell anyone." "I won't. But he told me you slept together!" he confessed, hugging his friend. "Thanks Jeff.or should I say uncle Jeff!" They laughed as they released apart. "Listen, I'm going to see Vince about it. I'll catch up with you later." Jeff kissed Amy on the cheek then watched as his best friend went to tell their boss that she was pregnant. He remembered how gutted Matt was after they'd made the decision of staying friends, the morning after sleeping together. In his opinion, there was no one more perfect together than Matt and Amy but even though they'd both cheated on their partners, they'd to make the situation less complicated and stayed with them. Walking back into the locker room, Matt asked where Amy was. Jeff explained of her whereabouts then went to shower, ready for their match. Meanwhile, Amy stood outside Vince's office, worried about his reaction. "Come in" he called out after hearing a knock at the door. "Amy, take a seat?" "Umm Vince, I know it's short notice but I can't wrestle tonight. This morning, I discovered I'm having a baby!" she said, nervously. "Wow, this is some news. Well, congratulations. I bet Dan is very happy." She was about to correct him about who the father was when she stopped herself. Thanking Vince for his understanding, she exited the room and went to the Diva's locker room to share the news. Though they were her friends, she still couldn't tell them that Matt was the father. Except for Trish, none of them knew they'd slept together. As she entered, all the other women were chatting amongst themselves and getting ready for the show. She sat next to Trish and quietly told her. Excited for her friend, Trish started hugging her and screaming in happiness. The other diva's looked at the confused as Amy pulled her friend back on the bench, laughing at her actions. They privately talked about and Trish immediately guessed it was Matt's. "Umm guys, I have an announcement to make. I'm pregnant," she informed to the others. They all hugged her and congratulated her. "I'm going back to my room." With that said, she walked through the halls, making a detour to the payphone to tell Dan. Surprisingly, he was very excited about the concept of becoming a father and promised to stop drinking. After talking to him for a while, she returned to the locker room, only to find Matt there alone. He looked up from his magazine and smiled at her. She walked over and sat next to him, leaning her head on his shoulder. Matt laid his head in her lap, kissing her stomach repeatedly as Amy stroked his raven-black hair. This was the way they wanted it to be. Just them as a family, Matt watching every change of her body, Amy feeling them, going to scans together, him at the birth. But that wasn't to be. Sighing, she continued stroking his hair, wishing her thoughts were reality. Instead, she was living with an alcoholic boyfriend who promised to change but he never did and she didn't expect him to now. Hell, it wasn't even his baby. Matt lifted up her top to see her stomach better. "How big is it at this point?" he asked, fingering her abdomen. "It's extremely small. I have a scan on Thursday. Will you come?" she asked, hopefully. "Dan's working." "I'd love that, but I still can't believe I'm going to be a dad!" Amy laughed and placed her hand on his chest, looking down at her stomach. She still couldn't believe she was going to be a mother. With everyone that had found out, they were all shocked at the revelation as Amy had never been the type of person of being a mother. But all that had changed. Like they say, life never goes the way you plan it to. Amy had always thought she'd continue with her wrestling career for a few more years then become a creative writer or something similar. She and Matt had decided as neither of them wanted to quit their jobs in the WWF, she would travel with them and escort them to the ring until she began putting on weight. She would still join them on the road until she was seven months then stay at home with Dan. She knew he wouldn't approve of anything but it was her life.and Matt's child. After it was going to be born, she'd resume with her career and take her baby with her. Content in the silence for a while, they both began drifting off to sleep. It was another half an hour before Jeff entered with Kim behind her. He saw the way Matt and Amy were positioned and smiled. He was excited about being an uncle. Kim walked in and woke them up. Matt stood up and stretched out before kissing Amy on the forehead and walking into the shower area. She was going to accompany them to the ring anyway but the original plan was for her to give Adam hurricanrana so they could win. But Matt would just give him the Twist Of Fate instead. She changed into her usual baggy pants and lilac butterfly halter-top then they made their way to the curtain. They were up first and only had five minutes before the introductory started. The music started and they were greeted by a thunderous ovation from the audience as they made their way to the ring. After going their tradition guns, Matt quickly kissed her as part of their storyline. "You sure you'll be okay out here?" he asked, genuinely concerned. "Yeah, don't worry. I won't let anything happen to our baby," she smiled. Matt smiled back at her and kissed her once again, pretending it was for their onscreen relationship when in truth, he just wanted to be with her. As they opponents came out, Amy joined hands with Matt and Jeff before jumping down and cheering her best friends on. The match went smoothly and they retreated to the back, smiling widely. Nothing had gone wrong and Amy hadn't been hurt. Matt slipped her arm around her waist as Jeff disappeared to phone Beth. They were talking slightly when Kim met them near to their dressing room. The happy atmosphere soon evaporated when she saw how close they were. Kim stormed off as Matt ran after her. Letting out a sigh of frustration, she jumped as felt arms encircle her shoulder. Turning around, Amy saw Trish there with a comforting expression plastered on her face. The days quickly passed and before she knew it, she was driving home again. When she arrived, she was surprised to see the lights on. Normally, Dan was down the pub. 'Maybe he is changing his ways,' she thought. Amy pulled up in the driveway and entered her house, only to find him floor, down on one knee proposing to her. She didn't know what to do. She didn't really want to marry him but for some reason, found herself saying 'yes'. That night, she was cooking some dinner when there was a knock at the door. Dan had gone out somewhere and she was alone. Wiping her hands, she went to answer the door only to find Matt there. She hugged him in greeting then walked back to the kitchen. They were generally talking when he took her hands in his, noticing the ring. "What's this?" he asked, regretting what the answer was going to be. "I'm marrying Dan!" she replied.
