Chapter 1: Catching Up
Will and Asha reached the other side of the fold and waited for a minute and realized that Susan wasn't coming and closed the fold. Will looked around and found herself at the car rental place at the airport. Will grabbed her card that she had before she moved to Moranox and rented a car. Asha looked at the vehicle in astonishment since she had never seen anything like it before. She sat down in the car and felt a sharp pain for a second. Asha ignored the feeling and relaxed as her mother started up the car. "First stop, Matt's place and then off to get a car of our own." Will stepped on the gas and she sped off scaring Asha a little. Will turned to her daughter and gave off a smile giggle which received a glare from her Asha. "Get used to it, you'll be hearing this a lot from now on." Then Will got onto the freeway and sped up even more.
"Mom, how fast are we going?" Asha asked still a little worried about this whole thing.
"We are going seventy miles an hour." Will looked at her daughter and saw her jaw drop. "Very fast compared to how fast you usually go isn't it?" Asha nodded and clung onto the seatbelt. Will gave a small giggle at seeing her terrified daughter. "Don't worry so much Asha. Your perfectly safe." Will said as she looked in her rearview mirror and quickly moved to the side avoiding some drunk dude. She would have called the idiot in but she doesn't have a phone. Will looked over and could see her daughter ready to pass out. "Sorry Asha, but I had to move out of the way of the guy."
"Isn't there a rebellion or something that can take care of those kind of people?" Asha asked.
"Sort of, they are called cops and they catch those people eventually but unfortunately, not all get caught because there aren't enough people to catch everyone." Will explained.
"That's what you get for having too many people in a world." Asha complained as she gripped onto the seatbelt even more.
"I know that feeling but there isn't anything we can do about that Asha and so we have to deal with it." Will then got onto an exit and slowed dramatically. The two stayed quite the rest of the way for the most part. Asha gave a few worried moans here and there. They finally reached Matt's home and they got out of the car. They walked up to the door and Will took a deep breath before she knocked. They waited a few seconds and then Matt answered the door and before he could react, Will jumped on him and hugged him tightly.
Matt's eyes grew from the shock and then smiled. "Hey, it's good to see you too and not that I'm not happy to see you but why are you here?"
Will's face saddened and then she looked up at Matt. "Could we come in?" Matt nodded and then moved out of the way to let them in. Will and Asha sat down on the couch and Matt followed shortly after. "Matt, Phobos died in a battle and as you can tell, I am pregnant. I am now left alone with Asha and a child on the way. I couldn't live in Moranox anymore Matt and so I came here and I had hoped that you could help me with something." Matt looked at her sadly and then nodded. "Could you go with me to get a car? I need one of my own and not just a rental."
"I'm game for that; it will give me something to do now. I still haven't remarried and so all I have done is work and lay around doing nothing when I have a day off." Will smiled and thanked him and then they got up and left the house. The three got into the rental, Asha got in cautiously, and Matt drove off toward the car dealership. They arrived ten minutes later and they looked at the cheapest cars they could find. After an hour, Will chose a car and bought it. It wasn't much of a car but it was as much as she wanted to spend. "Matt, could you take the car back?" Will asked.
"Sure Will, where did you get it from?" Will told him where to go and gave him everything he needed and he sped off.
Will had Asha get into the car and the two drove over to Irma's place. Once they got there, they saw Irma just walking outside to see who it could possibly be coming to her home. When she saw who it was, Irma grinned widely. "Will, what are you doing here?" Irma squealed as she ran over and hugged her good friend. "So how are you and Phobos doing?" Then she saw Wills face drop and she regretted the question.
"He died in a war helping out Elyon." Will said sadly. "Could you tell the others for me?"
"Of course Will, anything to help." Irma said as she invited the two in. The two went over to the couch and sat in silence.
"Irma, how is my mothers place, do you know?" Will asked hoping that the place would still be there and yet expecting it to be torn down by now.
"The whole area has been demolished and so I took your things and I decided to store them in case you ever decided to come back. Though I had hoped that you would have come back on better terms." Irma frowned and then changed the subject. "I know this is something that I wouldn't have done when we were younger but I have been professionally trained to deliver children in any circumstance. I realize that this is off topic but hey, it's better then what we were talking about. At least I hope so anyway." Irma said with the best smile she could give.
"That's great Irma. I won't be due for at least another month or two though. Which will give me time to find a job and a new home hopefully." Will gave Irma an emotionless expression.
"No Will, you can stay in the guest room until you get on your feet. Though if you could get yourself a car, then I would think that you are pretty well off. Not saying that you are." Irma paused for a second. "I'm just going to shut up now."
"It's ok Irma, I spent almost all my money on the car and so I'm now down to one thousand left. I definitely don't have enough money to feed two children and have a decent apartment. As much as I would rather not mooch off my friends, I think I will have to take you up on that offer. You're a great friend Irma." Will said with a small tear on her cheek.
"It's no problem Will and it will give my daughter a chance to meet my best friend and her kids." Will looked at her oddly and then remembered the wedding invite from Irma and the other girls. "I'll help you unpack a few things that you'll need to get settled in."
"Thanks Irma, and I swear that I will get out of your hair as soon as possible."
"Don't, please don't. You're the only one that I've seen since were all together other then at weddings at that doesn't really count you know. Stay as long as you want Will. Stay forever if you want." Both girls laughed at the comment as Irma pulled some boxes out of the closet.
"So how are you and Martin?" Will asked with a cheerier smile.
Irma turned to Asha. "Go watch something on T.V. while we get unpacked." Asha nodded seeing her mom work a T.V. once when they visited. "We're good in everyway actually. We have a big house which I'm sure you noticed and our relationship grew much more then I ever thought possible. I get lonely every now and then when Martin is gone but anyway, different subject. Did Matt tell you that he still hasn't gotten married again?" The two women unpacked a few things and about twenty minutes later, had everything in the guest room that Will needs.
"Yeah, he told me. I really though that he would have married by now." Will said as she sat down for a rest even though she hardly did anything to help.
"He said that he didn't really want to get married again Will. He really doesn't want to be married again mainly because he could never find anyone that came close to you. Even his first wife wasn't very much like you Will but he knew that he had to get on with his life but nomatter what he did, everything kept leading him back to you. He really loves you Will. So this could be the chance that everyone has been waiting for. I'm not saying to forget Phobos, Will. Do think of him but if this is the chance for you to get on your feet and for Matt to be as happy as he was when you two dated, then this is it. Everyone knows that Phobos tried to get you to go with Matt in the first place and you know that Phobos has to be saying that now even if you can't hear him. Take time to get over Phobos but don't hold onto him so tight that you don't get your life back." Irma said hoping that Will wouldn't get mad at her.
Will absorbed everything and now she wasn't sure if she wanted to hit Irma or to tell her she's right. Either way, she knows Irma is right and so Will smiled. "Your right Irma, I hate that your right but you are. For the sake of Asha and my soon to be born. I need to get married again and Matt seems to be the only option but before I decide to marry him, I'll beat him for looking for people that are similar to me." Will said raising her fist in the air.
"I think that's a good idea as long as you don't kill the guy." Irma and Will just sat down as the door bell rang. Irma got up and answered it. "Matt, come on in. we were just talking about you."
Matt looked at Will and then Irma and then back to Will. "Should I be scared?"
"Be afraid Matt, very afraid." Will said teasing him. "Thanks for the help Matt."
"No problem Will." Matt said as he sat down next to Asha. "So you took Irma's offer to stay with her?"
"How did you know?" Will asked suspiciously.
"Well, your boxes are out and open plus Irma said that if you ever returned to heatherfield for a while, she would offer up her guest room." Matt said confidently.
"Oh." Was all Will could say.
"You know Will, my grandpa needs some help around the shop still and so if you wanted to go work there, I'm sure he would love to have you back." Matt said trying to help Will find someplace to work seeing how she probably doesn't have that much energy to work with due to being pregnant.
"I think I'll take you up on that offer especially since I can't get a high paying job anytime soon for the obvious reason." Will rubbed her stomach as she said that. "The other reason is that I didn't go to calloge and so there isn't that much for me to do." Will paused and rubbed her stomach for a second. "Thanks you two, I'm glad to have you two around here." Will smiled as she fell asleep on the couch.
"Poor Will, so much trauma going on and she just can't handle it all at once." Matt said as he kissed her cheek lightly.
A/N: Please review and thanks for reading. Sorry I can't right more but I don't have anymore brain to go off of at the moment and so I'm going to bed so that I can rest my head.
