Six Months Later, Cameron, NC….
"Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Matt asked his wife. It had been half a year since the incident in Cedar Rapids and half a year since the Hardy's had began trying to fix their marriage.
"Yeah, I want to do this. I want to start a family, I can't do that working for the B.A.U." Emily answered. She loved working for the FBI, but she knew that she would love being a stay at home mom even more.
"You know I support anything you do." Matt reassured.
Emily, for once, did know this. Matt had been completely supportive of every decision she had made since they had returned home. When she found out that they couldn't have children, Matt had supported her decision to adopt. When she found the perfect mother to adopt from, Matt had supported her decision to adopt her. Finally, when she decided to put in her two weeks notice, so that she could get their home ready for their new addition, Matt had supported that decision as well.
Emily left the house and returned about 5 hours later. Matt, Jeff, and Shannon were all crowded in the room that would soon be their new daughter's room, when Emily returned home.
"Matt! Where are you? I need help." Emily screamed through the house.
Matt dashed down the stares to his wife's aid.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing! I got some stuff for the baby and I need you to help me get it from the truck." Emily advised.
"Why are home so early, I thought you were working today?" Matt asked as he rounded the guys up so they could help get the stuff from truck.
"I was going to work today, but when I got there, I couldn't concentrate. I decided to use the two weeks of vacation time I had saved up, so I'm actually not even going back to work." Emily explained.
While Matt and Emily were talking, Jeff and Shannon were unloading the packages from Emily's truck. Everyone was excited about the new baby, so they were trying to help out as much as possible.
"That's cool then baby. I talked to Mr. McMahon today and I'll be home for the next two months. They are going to tell everyone that I got hurt. Can you stand that much time with me?" Matt asked.
"Of course I can!" Emily replied. She then gave her husband a big kiss and started listing out all the things she had purchased for the baby. The biological mother of their little girl was getting close to her due date, so Emily was getting increasingly antsy. Matt was getting increasingly nervous.
"After everything we just went through. Is it time for a baby?" He would think from time to time.
It was okay though. Emily would always find a way to reassure him that their life as parents was going to be exiting.
A few months later…
"Abigail, you are such a good girl." Matt cooed over his daughter. Emily had been right all along. Being a parent was the best thing Matt could have ever asked for. Now his family was complete and his life was full of joy. For once, he was doing everything right. He liked the feeling!
