Disclaimer: I don't own Matt or Amy, nor do I own anything of the WWE. I don't own the Bo Bice Lyrics and I don't own anything else you recognize. I'm just doing this for fun. :)Author's Note: Hi! This is going to be ten one-shots to Bo Bice's first album, 'The Real Thing' featuring the pairing, and my favorite WWE pairing: Matt and Lita, or Matt and Amy. I know Bo's first album had eleven tracks, but the last song is impossible to write for. Updates to this will be scattered. I'll write them when I have a spark, but I have a general idea for each song. :) Each will have nothing to do with the next one and so forth. One song per chapter. Enjoy! And if you have any questions about this, feel free to PM me. Oh, and I dedicate this to littlerascalash, the biggest Matt and Amy fan I know. :D
Track One: The Real Thing
Every word I say, I mean it
Every single day, I feel it
But sometimes when you talk
It's obvious you want to show it
So don't blow it
They were fighting, again. Normally a fight here or there wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but when you've only been back together for about a month… no, not a good thing. There wasn't really a reason for the argument either yet the two were at it.
"Matt… just give me my space, please," Amy Dumas pleaded with her boyfriend, who was following her around the house, a slightly confused expression on his handsome features.
He just didn't get it. He was a man, he didn't get a woman's person space pleas at times. Why did they need so much of it after all, he had thought.
"Ames… why? What did I do?" Matt answered, completely mystified about Amy's behavior. He was so in love with her, and always had been. When they originally broke up, after Amy cheated on Matt with his friend Adam, he never stopped loving her. After the breakup he surrounded himself in booze, pills, and woman, but nothing stopped the desire in his heart for the one girl he was in love with.
He thought she didn't have the same feelings anymore. So time faded and the pain eased though never went fully away. One day though, while Amy was touring with her band, the Lunchagors, Matt showed up for a concert, a free ticket from Shannon, one of his best friends, a surprise that would change so many things.
You can pretty much assume what happened from there. Amy was shocked to see Matt, they talked after a show, and boom, within a few days, one of the WWE'S favorite couples was on again.
So what had he done wrong to the love of his life?
"MATT! Just leave me alone," she continued, racing up the stairs of his house. Matt followed, even though it was a little tough to keep up with her pace, she was so much smaller and faster than he. Maybe she didn't love him anymore after all, and was just hoping to escape.
Matt pushed the thought out of his mind; after all, something had to keep them hanging on after all these years, right? There had got to be something in the relationship that allowed them to rekindle the flame that had dimmed.
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hanging on
Amy locked herself into the bathroom, while Matt pounded on the door. "Amy… open up!" he hollered at her. "What is wrong? Please, tell me!" No answer. It was almost silent inside the bathroom they shared. Matt smacked his head into his palm, very unsure of what to do.
Behind him was a photo album of recent pictures they'd taken while at a park with Lucas. The pictures were adorable and Amy looked so very happy in them, so the behavior he was experiencing right now was not something expected.
I can read the signs between us
I feel it inside when you come nearer
There's a stillness in the air like no one else is there
And every moment stays in the moment
"Amy!" he called again, growing frustrated. Matt had always had a temper. "If you're going to be a bitch and not tell me what the hell is happening, then get out!" He didn't mean what he said. Not a word of it. He was just angry that she was ignoring him like that. Immediately he felt his heart drop into the pit of his stomach and he bit his lip… she was going to be pissed.
Suddenly though, the door opened, and Amy stormed out. "You… fucking… asshole," she whispered. "I…" she couldn't finish her words, as she thought he didn't deserve to know. If he was going to be like that, he could shove it up his ass for all she could care.
"Amy… I'm sorry… my temper it… just got the better of me," he whispered, and went to hug her. Amy's eyes softened for what seemed like less than a split second, showing every moment they'd shared since they met. There was just something about the two when they were in the same room. It was electric.
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
That keeps me hanging on
She had to be strong. He couldn't talk to her like that. So she fished her way around Matt, grabbed her bag on the bed, and headed once more down the stairs. She wouldn't get very far. Matt heard the door slam and felt a familiar emptiness inside of him.
"AMY WAIT!" he called down the steps, but stopped. His heart was already aching. Had they lost what they had already? After all… it was just a tiny fight… and yet he felt like something was missing from the presence of the house.
Sometimes it hurts to watch you leave
It feels like you're taking a part of me with you
I never know how it'll be
I guess it's just a mystery
But is it the real thing (that keeps me hanging on)
Amy had come home from hanging out with a few of her friends and seemed a little distant. Matt wasn't too good with the romance thing, but he tried to cuddle with her. She refused, and the argument began. Matt's constant 'my way or no way' made it worse, which he didn't realize. She walked aimlessly around the house, in a slightly panicked state. Matt followed her around, barking for her to tell him what was wrong.
It was just a stupid fight. And by the looks of it, the tiny fight had down a lot more than just anger people.
Matt couldn't just stand there at the stairs. He rushed down his stairwell and ran to the door, grabbing his keys and jacket on the way, for the October weather. He'd imagined Amy hadn't gotten far.
The elder Hardy slung the door open, only to see Amy staring back at him, eyes full of tears. It wasn't a very normal thing to see his girlfriend like that, it definitely baffled him. She was tough woman after all and she had fought just as hard as some of the men while in the WWE, and that's only physical toughness. Her mentality was even better. "I couldn't leave… I… can't leave especially with the news… I love you and this way too much," she said, almost bitterly while looking into his baby browns.
Matt's angered eyes softened. "Please… Amy… tell me, if this is what you want, tell me. What is going on?" he begged, ushering her inside the house and out of the rainy outside. They sat down on the couch in the living-room. "Amy… tell me, please. If you didn't want to get back together, you shouldn't have led me on, Ames…"
Amy's head shot up and she looked slightly angered. "Matt! Of course I wanted to get back together, damn it I wouldn't be sitting on this couch right now if I didn't. Believe it or not, this has nothing to even do with that," she said. "You know, you can be so damn annoying sometimes. You're hard-headed and so business like so often, and you carry your phone everywhere and I just…" she started to rant.
"Gee, thanks for the confidence boost," Matt mumbled.
"And because of all of that, there are things that I love about you. You're caring and so very independent and proud. You're an amazing friend and a good brother. You're my best friend, a good person, and one of the nicest men I've ever met. I'd never want you to change," she whispered, smiling, a tear slipping down her cheek yet again. "I love you."
Matt smiled. "I love you too." His face hardened quickly though. "Okay, then, please, tell me what is going on. You're worrying me. Is everything okay? Are you sick? Did something happen with your friends?" He ushered for her to talk to him, after all not only were they lovers, but best friends too. "You know you can tell me anything…"
Amy sighed, and looked down at her hands, then mumbled something incoherent.
"What?"
"I missed my period for this month," she said blandly.
Matt shrugged, "So?"
Amy sighed, rolling her eyes. "So, that means something Matt." Why were men so dense?
Matt continued to look mystified. "Amy, if that's all that is bothering you, well, um… that's not too big of a deal…"
"Matt, you miss your period for a reason," Amy continued, and pulled something out of her pocket; a receipt. She handed it to Matt.
"I'm lost," Matt replied, looking much like a child who was new to high school.
"Of course you are," Amy mumbled, laughing bitterly. "Men, I swear."
"Amy, tell me what is going on," Matt demanded.
"I'm pregnant," she whispered.
Matt stared at her like she had two heads. "Pregnant… like with a baby inside of you?"
Amy rolled her eyes. "No, pregnant like I have a baby gorilla inside of me."
Matt eyes sparkled momentarily. "So you got back with Adam for a one night stand and got pregnant!" It was meant more of a joke, but Amy didn't laugh.
"Not funny Matt! I was kidding about the gorilla. I am pregnant, with your baby," she whispered. This time, Matt's face changed to slightly bewildered, and Amy wasn't sure of what to do. He looked ready to positively faint.
She continued, trying a similar approach…
"Pregnant? You know, when you carry an infant inside you…?" Amy asked carefully. Her boyfriend seemed to be in mega shock.
"Pregnant," he repeated.
"Yes… I… if you don't want… I…" she couldn't talk. It seemed as if there was just something much too powerful in each of their eyes to talk. All they needed were those eyes. "I don't know what to do. I really don't want to abort my baby, but if you…"
"What do you mean, abort it?" Matt asked, voice rising. "You will not abort that baby!"
"But…"
"Amy… you will not. I'm going to assume it's mine," Matt stopped, looking at her. Amy just scowled as if to say 'what do you think asshole?' "Okay, okay. Amy… you're going to go full-term with this baby. You're going to be a mommy and I'm going to be a daddy," he whispered. "Isn't that what you want?"
"Yes," she whispered softly.
"Amy… you know I always wanted to be a daddy… so why worry?" he continued.
"Because we've only been back together about a month, Matt. I didn't think you'd want to rush into things and be weighed down by a child." She hung her head, knowing that Matt had wanted to be a father for the longest time. "I'm sorry…" she whispered, then looked up with a tentative smile. "So… you really want to have this baby?"
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
The real thing
Matt smiled, gripping her hands around his. "Of course I do. I love you Amy, I never stopped loving you all along. This is all I ever wanted." He touched her stomach. "There is a little Hardy in there." He eyed her stomach with a smile. "I swear, this has to be fate."
"Matt… I love you. I love you so much. I love how bossy you are. I love how sweet you are. I…," she whispered, and jumped onto his lap. "I just love you."
Tell me what we got, tell me it's a lot, tell me it's the real thing
Tell me not to change and always be the same, tell me that's a good thing
It's a good thing
Tell me not to lie, tell me not to wait
Tell me that you want the same things as me
Tell me that it's fate, driving me insane
Tell me it's the real thing
The real thing
Next song will be 'You're Everything.' Hopefully I'll have it up by Friday. Read and review, alert, and favorite please! :)
