"Matt? What are you doing here?" Willow asked, shocked to see her husband stood in front of her. "Why are you here? I told you not to come" she added as he took a step towards her, replying "I saw how bad you were last night. Im worried about you Wills. How long have you been throwing up blood for?" Matt asked as Willow felt tears building in her eyes. "Dont do this Matt. Dont act all concerned for me now. Not when that bitch turned up at my door last night wanting you" Willow replied, the anger building up inside her. "Im sorry she turned up like that. She had no right to even come here. Ive told her to back off us otherwise im calling the cops" Matt replied sensing Willows frustration and anger. He took another few steps towards her but she backed away. "Willow please, talk to me. Tell me whats going on with you" he pleaded but Willow shook her head. "I cant do this right now. I dont want to talk. I can barely look at you Matt, im still so angry about everything. I thought i was finally able to put it behind me, move forward but her turning up last night, denying everything, it brought everything back" Willow said, the tears now rolling over her face. "Im still so fucking pissed off at you. Im still so angry. I dont know why youre even here, its messing with my head. I want you to go" "Wills im not going anywhere. Im not leaving you like this" Matt replied calmly as Willow said angrily "Matt, go now" "Wills, im not leaving you on your own" Matt replied as he walked up to her, he could feel her shaking despite not touching. He knew tell she was angry, and yet to him she was beautiful "Im not leaving. I love you Wills. I dont know whats going on with you but damn, you're sexy as fuck when you're angry" he said before kissing her. Willow pushed him away from her and slapped him "What the fuck are you doing Matt?" she panted before biting her lip in anticipation. She wouldnt admit it but she had missed him and the kiss had stirred alot of feelings deep inside her. She didnt hear a word Matt was saying to her as she closed her eyes and did something that took them both by surprise, she kissed him. Only they didnt stop there. Their hands ran across each others bodies, clothing removed and flung onto the floor as they made their way upstairs to Willows temporary bedroom, where they remained for the rest of the night.
Willow awoke early again the next morning. She looked at Matt sleeping next to her, his arm around her waist and instantly felt a bit of regret about the nights actions. She slowly removed his arm from her waist and got out of bed, dressed and headed downstairs quietly. She sat on the sofa and turned the tv on. She flicked through the channels but found nothing to watch so she turned on the WWE Network. She found an old Summerslam that someone had started to watch in the house. As she pressed play a previous fear came over her. She was watching Matt and Jeff win the Tag Titles from Test and Albert and she remembered what was coming next. Jeff had just proposed to Trish and then it was Erics threats before their match. Even though he was long dead, just hearing his voice paralyzed her. She had never watched their match back, mainly due to the years of hell he had her endure. The stalking that preceded that match, the subsequent kidnapping and torture that had left her body scarred. The finding out he was her biological father had deeply affected her, but throughout it all she'd always had Matt by her side. She watched as Matt kissed her in the ring after her victory, as she ran after him on the ramp and kissed him back. She was so engrossed in what she was watching, she didnt hear the person creep into the room behind her or feel them watching her as she watched her past on the screen. It wasnt until she felt a single tear roll down her face that she heard a soothing voice say "Cant sleep either" behind her that she even knew Matt was there.
"Cant sleep again Wills?" Matt asked as he sat next to her as she shook her head. "He still terrifies you doesnt he?" Matt asked as Willow nodded, but remaining silent, not wanting to talk to him. "Wills I know you dont want me here or that you dont want to talk right now but every word I said last night, i meant. I love you. I love our girls. What i did with Reby, it was a huge mistake. I never wanted to hurt you, its a regret ive lived with ever since and im always going to have to live with it. Then having her turn up here, harassing you when youre pregnant and ill. Not to mention the stress your going through with being on the show with Dean, Victor still being out there along with the WillowTree guy. Im always going to be trying to make it up to you. Im so sorry im such a fuck up" Matt said, as he watched silent tears roll down his wifes cheek. "Matt, shut the fuck up. I dont care anymore. I dont care about what you did, about her, about Nikki, the guys. I just dont care" Willow said quietly before continuing "and you're not the only fuck up either. I did something im not entirely proud of after i ended it with you at duet week. I slept with someone, more than once" she admitted as Matt asked "who was it? I dont care that you did it, I just want to know who" "It doesnt matter. Its over. This person stayed with me for a while, even when i was throwing up blood. Eventually I discovered that they had developed intense feelings for me so i ended it. Then i collapsed at the show last weekend, scaring everyone I just want to know what the fuck is wrong with me. Its such a mess. Im a mess" Willow said, finally facing him. "Whatevers going on, we'll face it together Wills. Im not going anywhere" Matt said as he inched closer to Willow who, for the first time in a long time, didnt back away from him. "Im sorry Matt, for pushing you away. I guess i needed time to breathe and absorb everything, make my decision about what i want to do about us" she said as she leaned into Matts arms, taking them both by surprise. "Have you made your decision?" he asked as Willow nodded. "What is it? Tell me" he asked as Willow looked him deep in the eyes and said "I want us to work" before kissing him.
Willow awoke the next morning and was back in bed. She had no memory of how she got there but assumed Matt had carried her as he was in the bed next to her and also awake. "Hey you, finally awake then?" Matt said as he kissed forhead as Willow moved closer to him. "What time is it?" she asked "and how long have i been out?" "Its a little after 9am. Youve been out for about 6 hours, looks like you needed it too" he said as he put his arms around her as she shivered. "You ok Wills?" "Im fine, im actually in a really good place to not have to go throw up and ive wanted this for a while" she replied as she placed her head on his shoulder. "Ive missed you Wills. Ive missed us" Matt said as Willow replied "Ive missed us too. Can we keep this between us? Just for now?" "If thats what you want Wills. Then its our secret" Matt replied as their bedroom door suddenly burst open and excited squeals of "MOMMA" echoed around the room as Jasmine came running in.
"MOMMA!" Jasmine squealed as she ran and jumped onto the bed next to Willow and immediatley cuddled into her as Matt got up and closed the door. "Hey beautiful, i missed you" Willow said as Jasmine cuddled into her. "I missed you too Momma. Are you and daddy happy again?" she asked as Matt climbed back into bed. "We're going to work on it Jas. But you know what, i dont have to go to the studio today so why dont me, you and daddy all go do something fun?" Willow replied as Matt said quietly "are you sure youre up for it Wills?" "Im sure Matt" she replied nodding as Jasmine began tickling Matt, making her smile and giggle. "We've missed that smile and laugh, havent we Jas?" Matt said as Jasmine nodded, before starting to tickle Willow. "Hey Jas, not so hard Kay? Mommy still isnt feeling good" Willow said as Jasmine moved back on to tickling Matt. "You feeling OK Wills? Are you sure you want to go out today? We can always stay here and chill" Matt said as Willow nodded, "Im ok, just still feeling a little rough after the last few weeks" she replied "to be honest, i could probably do with getting out of this place and getting some air. Ive barely seen any of the city" "You havent seen the city? Oh that is going to have to change isnt it Jas? What do you think Princess, shall we give mommy a tour of our special places in New York?" Matt asked Jasmine who replied "I think we should take mommy for pancakes and to the zoo and for ice cream" "Pancakes AND ice cream? Im a very lucky momma" Willow giggled as Matts cell began to ring. "Jas new game, i need you to be super quiet right now" he said as he answered the call.
"Hey Jeff whats up?" Matt asked as he put his cell on loudspeaker "Youre also on loudspeaker, im driving" he lied putting his finger on his lips to keep Jasmine quiet. "Matt dont lie, youve been gone all night. Ive been trying to get ahold of you for hours. So where are you?" Jeff asked as Willow stifled a giggle. "Matthew, is that Willow i hear in the background? Does this mean you guys are back or what?" "Its early days Jeff but yes, we're back" Willow replied, unable to remain silent any longer. "Oh my god you guys! This is amazing. I want details. When, where, how?" Jeff said as Matt replied "Last night. Its a long story Jeff but we'll tell all once we get back. Now what did you want?" "Jeff, please dont tell everyone ok? We want to try and work things out before making it official" Willow said as Jeff said "This is the best 30 hours ever. You two are back and the twins are on their way" "Wait Trish is in Labour? Why the hell are you not with her Jeff? Go watch those beauties be born" Willow said, shocked that her best friend hadnt told her she was in labour. "Im going im going. She just wanted to give you all the update. Can I at least tell her that you guys are talking? It will make her happy" Jeff said as Willow nodded at Matt, who then replied "You can tell her Jeff. But promise us you wont tell anyone else" "OK ok i promise" Jeff said before hanging up.
"So Max and Maddie are on their way then? Its about time. Last time i saw Trish she was ready to burst" Willow said as she placed hers and Matts hands on top of her bump. "Shes a little fighter isnt she" Matt said as Willow replied "Just like this one" as Jasmine cuddled into her. "Matt, can we have a proper talk tonight? After this one is asleep? Theres just some stuff i want to discuss with you" Willow asked as Matt nodded as Jasmines stomach started rumbling. "Hey Jas, you want some breakfast?" Matt asked as she nodded and replied "I want pancakes" "Im going to go take a quick shower and then i'll be down ok" Willow said as Matt picked Jasmine up from the bed "Banana choc chip pancakes for princess?" he asked as Jasmine nodded as they headed out of the room and down to the kitchen.
"Aunty Bwooooke" Jasmine screamed as she entered the kitchen "Hey Jasdoll, Ive missed you" Brooke said as Matt followed behind her. "Youre still here Matt? Does that mean that you and Willow are..." Brooke asked but Matt cut her off "We're working on us. We still need to talk about stuff, but its a start" "Please tell me you at least stayed here last night" Brooke said as Matt began to make the pancakes, not saying a word. "Oh my god you did! Did you two..." Brooke began to ask but stopped herself when Jasmine hugged her. Matt didnt have to say a single word and Brooke knew. "Knew you two couldnt resist each other. You never could" "Never could what Brooke?" Willow asked as she entered the kitchen. "Nothing Wills, it doesnt matter. Except you two have guilty written all over your faces" "Guilty?" Willow asked, confused as Matt explained "I think she knows about last night" as he gave Jasmine her pancakes. "Wills, you cant deny it. Youre beaming, you look like youre about to burst with happiness" Brooke said as Willow looked at her "I never said a word Brooke. Can we talk about it later? This one wants to go out today" she said as she watched Jasmine eating. "Where does Princess want to go today?" Matt asked as he made Willow some lemon pancakes. "I wanna go zoo" Jasmine replied as Matt said "Momma hasnt been there yet has she?" Jasmine shook her head and replied "Lets go now. I wanna go now" "Slow down Jas, let us have breakfast first" Willow said trying not to laugh, "Plus we still need to get dressed" "One hour enough time for breakfast and dressed?" Matt asked as Willow nodded as she began to eat for the first time in weeks.
Sixty minutes later, Matt and Jasmine were waiting downstairs waiting for Willow who was upstairs throwing up. She didnt know how long she was sitting on the bathroom floor for when she heard Matt behind her. "Wills, you ok?" he asked as Willow nodded. "Im fine Matt, its just this virus. Its caused a bit of my morning sickness to come back" she said, as Matt helped her up. As she stood up, she almost collapsed in his arms. "Are you sure you want to go out? We can stay here and chill if you prefer" Matt asked as he caught her, noticing how pale her skin was and just how red and bloodshot her eyes were. "I want to go out. Matt i need it, I need the fresh air. Im sick of being couped up in this house" she replied as he held her. For the first time in a long time, Willow relaxed and felt safe. "Hey we should get going. Cant keep Jas waiting" Willow said as they broke apart. Matt kissed her forehead and said "If you need to rest at any point today, let me know ok. Im still worried about you"
The Hardy family spent the day at the zoo reconnecting as a family. Jasmine loved being at the zoo, seeing all the animals. Willow loved seeing her daughter so happy and excited, Matt was just happy that Willow was talking to him again. They were out all day, returning home around 4pm, Willow looking better than she had done in days but she was still tired. "Why dont you go lie down Wills? You look tired" Matt said as Willow nodded "I might just do that. I still want to talk later" she replied as she headed upstairs and was out as soon as she hit her bed. "Daddy, whats wrong with mommy?" Jasmine asked as Matt placed her on the floor in front of her toys. Matt sighed as he replied "I dont know Jasdoll. All i know is that shes been poorly lately. But we are here to help her get better" He watched Jasmine play for a few hours before looking at the time. "Hey Jas, you hungry? Ready for dinner?" He asked as Jasmine nodded. Matt picked her up and took her into the kitchen where he had some pasta ready for her. She ate it quickly as she began to close her eyes. "Sleepy Jas?" Matt asked as Jasmine nodded again. "Bathtime then bed?"
Willow awoke a round 7. She smelled something cooking downstairs and found a note from Matt. Dinner booked for 8. Wear something amazing like you always do. She re read the note and thought What does he want me to wear? Where are we going? she stepped into the shower to freshen up after her nap. The water felt good on her skin, as she quickly washed her hair the memories of the day running through her head. I want to be with Matt, today just elevated that so why do i feel so guilty about sleeping with him? And why do i still want Seth? she thought to herself as she stepped out of the shower. I need to put Seth out of my mind and focus on my marriage she thought as she looked through her wardrobe for something to wear. She eventually found an old, pale blue dress that she wore when she was pregnant with Jasmine. She applied a little bit of make up to try and make herself look healthier and made her way downstairs. As she made her way down, something began to feel odd. Something didnt feel right to her, as Matt emerged from the kitchen and said "Wow! Wills you look incredible" "Matt, i got your note, whats going on?" she asked as she noticed he was dressed up. "Close your eyes Wills. Ive got a surprise for you" he said as she looked at him confused, but she did as he requested and closed her eyes as she felt him take her hands. He led her into the small dining area where he stood behind her and whispered in her ear "You can open your eyes now Wills" As she opened her eyes, she gasped in shock. The room was full of flowers, the table set for two with candles everywhere. "What...what is all this Matt?" Willow asked, completely taken aback by his work. "This is me and you sitting down to dinner together. Dont worry about Jas, shes been fed, bathed and is in bed" Matt replied as a timer went off in the kitchen as he added "Take a seat Wills, dinner will be served in five minutes"
"You made seafood pasta? When did you do all of this?" Willow asked as Matt served dinner and sat opposite her. "I did most of it whilest you were sleeping, i did have some help from Christian and Brooke" he replied as Willow wiped away tears. "This is the start of me making things up to you Wills. This is me saying im sorry for being a fuck up." "Matt, just stop. This is amazing. I dont need you to make it up to me, i dont want to hear any more apologies. I just want to go back to how things were before i started doing this show" Willow said as she took a mouthful of food before continuing "But i do need to know that you have cut off all contact with her. I just...i get this feeling about her, i dont trust her""Contact has been cut. Ive blocked her on all social media, her number is blocked from my cell. Email, gone. Shes completely gone out of our lives. Ive fired her from doing the house. By the way, theres a surprise for you back home" "A surprise, for me? Matt what is it?" Willow asked as Matt shook his head "You'll just have to wait until after youve won the show" he replied as she sighed as he continued "why dont you come to Raw next week? Its only in New Jersey so its not too far, I know you miss being there. Plus i know theres people who miss you and are dying to see you." "I dont know Matt. Im still focussing on Ruby and fighting whatever is wrong with me. Plus we're still getting back on track. My head is kind of all over the place" Willow replied, as Matt said "Im only there doing stuff backstage, im still not cleared to wrestle. Im missing the rumble" "Youre missing the rumble? Thats your favourite pay per view after Mania" Willow said shocked before asking "How bad were your injuries from that match with Brock?" "The injuries from Brock werent bad. It was Victors attack that was the killer. I had concussion, bruising, boken fingers, shattered collarbone. I lost alot of blood from that attack. Then i heard that you saw what happened and all i wanted to do was call you. Make sure you were ok. Why were you even watching Wills?" Matt replied. "Jas wanted to watch you. Dont worry, she was out before you even cut your promo. When i saw you laying there after the attack, l just lost it. I broke down. I knew i couldnt lose you, but at the same time i wasnt ready to forgive you, and then I became ill and pushed you even further away" Willow said as she began to cry silent tears. "Hey its ok Wills. Im here now, not going anywhere. Whatever is going on with you, we'll figure it out and fight it together" Matt said as he wiped away her tears "You finished dinner?" he asked as she nodded "It was amazing, thank you" she said before adding "if you want, you can take over the cooking back home" as she smiled. "Ive missed that smile" Matt said as he gathered up the dishes continuing "Why dont you go choose a movie in the living area and i'll be in with dessert in a few minutes" "Ive got a better idea, why dont we skip dessert" Willow replied seductively, standing face to face with Matt before kissing him and leading him up to her bedroom, where they spent the night together once more.
