"And he just left?" Trish said, sitting in the living room with Amy.
"He told me to call him when I love him the way that I love Adam." She cried.
"He can't expect you to just love him like that, especially after the tragedy that you went through with Adam."
"I don't blaim him for leaving me, I would've left me too." She said.
"What are you talking about? You are the best women in the world."
"Yea, that comes with a baby and dead fiance."
"That isn't your fault."
"It sure feels like it. Adam wont sleep without being around Matt. I had to turn on a video of Matt's voice the other day just to get him to sleep."
"You need to call Matt."
"And tell him what?"
"This isn't good for either of you." Trish said.
Matt sat in the guest room in his brother's house, he had been here since he left Amy's house. He wanted to talk to her and see the baby so bad, but he knew better that to see them, because if he did, he would give into Amy and just stay there. He didn't need to be with her until they both cleared out their minds and decided what they wanted.
Jeff walked into the room and looked at his older brother, "You need to talk to her."
"Why? So that she can tell me that she loves Adam?"
"You can't blame her for that!"
"I just want her to love me the way that she loves him. Why is that so hard?"
"Matt, she does. She loves you just as much as she loves him."
"Then why can't she tell me that?" He asked.
"Because she doesn't know how. She doesn't want to feel like she is letting Adam go if she loves you."
"But she won't."
"You have to tell her that."
"I want some time for just me, when I don't have to worry about a baby, or how my girlfriend is while I'm out my friends."
"You will still be doing that!"
"I don't think that I will."
Before Jeff could say anything, Matt's phone let up,
Will you please come home? I miss you and we need to talk.
Matt showed Jeff the text, "You have to go."
"I know." He said, getting up and heading out the door.
Matt walked into the clean house, knowing that Amy only cleaned when she was upset, he felt his stomach drop. How could he have just left her here to fend for herself alone with the baby and no one to help her? He hadn't thought of it like that when he left, being too angry to think it all through.
He walked up stairs, "Amy? Where are you?" He asked.
"I'm in the nursery." She called from the end of the hall.
He smiled, hearing her voice as he headed toward the nursery. He had missed her, wether he would admit it or not, he had. He also missed the baby. The two had been apart for about two weeks and he had thought about her and Adam every night before he went to bed. They where his last thought when he went to bed and his first thought when he woke up.
"Hey little man." He smiled, walking into the nursery.
Adam's little face lit up when he walked into the room, "He missed you." She smiled.
"I missed him, and you."
"I missed you so much." Amy said, holding the small boy.
"I'm glad that I wasn't the only one." He said.
"We need to talk about what happened." She said, walking past him and into the living room.
"I know." He said, following her.
The two sat on the couch after setting the baby into the little play area that she has set up in the living room. "I love you Matt. I love you more than I love myself." She started.
"I know that."
"Stop. Let me finish what I was going to say or else I wont say it." She said.
He nodded his response, "I was so hurt when you left, I didn't know what I was going ot do. I thought that you would cool down and then come back, but that isn't what happened, you stayed gone. Matt, you can't do that to me. I have a baby, that loves you more than he loves me. He wouldn't go to bed without hearing your voice. We can't be without you, so you need to decide if you are going to be with us or you aren't.
"You can't pick and choose when you want to be with us, when it makes you look good. We need to be something that you want to be with all of the time, I'm not going to be able to go out and party like I used to be because I'm not just making decisions for me, I'm making them for him too." She said.
"You don't think that I don't know that? I know that you are making his life decisions as well. Adam asked me to take care of you, and that's what I'm doing. I'm not going to leave you and him to do this alone, no matter how bad you want me to go away."
"I don't want you to go away. I love you, maybe not the way that you want me to, but I love you."
"What do you mean that you don't love me the way that I want you to? I just want you to love me, to be in love with me. I know that you don't feel the way for me that you did for Adam, but you will."
"Where did you get all of this from?"
"I talked to Jeff, he helped me realize that I love you and you love me and that it isn't your fault that you aren't over Adam yet."
