*Maddys POV*
Waking up from the sound of my phone, I leaned over picking up and sliding to answer without seeing who it was.
"Hello?" I said with a raspy voice.
"Maddy! I've been calling you all day. Are you okay?" I realized from the deep voice it was Jon.
"Yeah... I fell asleep. Calm down." I wanted to go off and say more but I held back. For now.
"Well sorry but I got worried. Look I'm coming home tomorrow." Oh great.
"Why?" I asked. "What do you mean why? I took a few days off. I miss you." Mmm yeah Jon sure you do.
I tried to hold in my words but my heart and tears spoke for me. "You miss Renee too?" I asked.
"What's that supposed to mean? Look I don't know if this is one of your mood swings talking but.."
I laughed. "Oh no my love it's me. Are you going to tell me about last night?"
He paused and sighed. "Nothing happened Maddy. Why? What did you hear?"
"It doesn't matter what I heard. I saw the picture of you all over her at a bar. So quit the fucking act Jon." I sat up from the bed as he sighed again.
"Look can we just talk about this when I'm there tomorrow?" He asked. I knew he was just trying to get out of it.
"No you tell me now or don't bother showing your face around here." I closed my eyes trying to calm myself down.
"I was drunk. She came up to me and saw I was frustrated and we talked. She asked if I needed some comfort and.. I don't really remember what happened after that. I swear Maddy she's just a business.."
"Oh I know., business relationship? But sleeping with her or getting comfort from her is okay? I'm fucking pregnant Jon!" I got up from the bed this time walking to the living room.
"Whatever happened between her and I meant nothing! I swear! Colby and Joe just frustrated me with all the talk about this new transition in my life and I just didn't know how to handle it."
I laughed. "Maybe handle it like a man? Think with the right head."
"Okay I deserved that." He said.
"Yeah you do. You know what? Don't bother showing up tomorrow. You want to man up and get serious about your kid then break it off with Renee and tell your job that I'm pregnant. Grow up. You're not Jon Moxley anymore. You don't get the privilege to go around and fuck what you want when you get a girl knocked up." I sighed. "You know what really sucks about falling for a guy you're not right for? You fall anyway because you think he might turn out to be different." I hung up the call as I heard Sara waking up from behind me on the couch.
"You okay?" She asked. I shook my head. "No. No I'm not. Why do I keep doing this Sara? Constantly fall in love with guys who just hurt me in the end?"
"Because deep down we all believe that finally that one person we fall for will fall with us."
I nodded as a knock was at the door. I rolled my eyes walking over to the door, opening it. My heart stopped as I saw the face looking back at me.
"M.. Matt? What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Wow.. Speaking of getting hurt by love." Sara exclaimed. I rolled my eyes keeping my focus on Matt. He looked good.
"I'm sorry I know you probably don't want to see me but.. I just.. I wanted to see how you've been. Can I come in?" He asked. I nodded as I stepped aside allowing him in.
"Hey Sara.." She smiled. "Hey woman abuser." She got up from the couch as she walked to the guest room shutting the door. He turned back to me shrugging his shoulders.
"I guess she's still mad.." I nodded. "Can you blame her though?" He shook his head. "Not one bit."
We sat down on the couch as I watched his hands shake. He was nervous.
"Everything okay?" I asked.
"No. I.. I miss you. I hate what I did and how things ended. I know you can never forgive me and..." Before I could think I blurted out the first thing that came to mind.
"I'm pregnant Matt." He looked me up and down as he smiled.
"Wow really? That's great, right? I mean you've always wanted to be a mom."
I stayed quiet but my tears running down my cheeks didn't. Matts hand grabbed onto mine. "Hey.. What's wrong? Is it Dean?" I nodded. "What did he do? He didn't leave you did he? Because I swear I will beat his ass."
I laughed. "No... He cheated. Well with his business girlfriend. But still. I'm pregnant with his kid, you know? I thought that meant something."
He rubbed his fingers against my hand. "He's an idiot. He should of ended it with her and told his work. But.. That's celebs for you. Once they get a taste of fame and have girls throwing themselves at them, they get caught up in it. Once they get what they want.. They don't care anymore."
"So what I was just a lay?" I asked.
"No.. You're more than that. He knows that. I could tell. But maybe this whole baby situation is a lot on him. It doesn't give him the right to do what he did but.. He's a guy."
I laughed. "Guys are assholes." He smiled. "Yeah... We can be. But we make mistakes. It's human."
He moved closer to me as he kept ahold of my hand. "I still love you Maddy. I always will. But.. I know you love him. Just remember your worth okay? You deserve the best so does the baby." He wiped the tears off my face as I smiled. "Thank you."
We sat talking for a few hours as I realized how much I missed having him in my life. He was always so good with making me laugh and feel better when I'm down. No that doesn't change what he did but I missed this. I missed having someone who showed they cared. Granted I loved Jon; a lot. I guess I just miss the attention.
"Well I'm going to go. If you ever need me just call okay? I'm serious." I nodded in acceptance. I walked him to the door as he leaned in to hug me. I accepted, hugging him back. "Take care of yourself okay? Jon is a lucky man." He whispered as he kissed my cheek and headed out the door.
"Is he gone now?" I heard Sara's voice from behind.
"Yes. It's safe." I closed the door, locking it as I turned to her. "So.. I'm hungry and I'm craving some Chinese."
Sara laughed as she pulled her phone out. "Let me guess.. Orange chicken with white rice?" I nodded. "You know me too well Sara. It's kinda scary." I went back to the couch as she called for delivery. I picked up my phone from the table as I saw I had a text from Jon.
Babe. You were right. I'm going to prove to you I can be the man you need and the father the baby deserves. I love you.
I smiled in awe but kept my guard up. Actions speak louder than words Jon. I placed my phone back down as Sara plopped down next to me. She turned the tv on as I pulled the blanket around me.
"So what did Matt want?" She asked as I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Just wanted to be a man." Which was something Jon couldn't be. But maybe I will be proven wrong. All I knew was this baby was going to have a great life, with or without him.
