"Can we stay like this for the rest of the day?" Willow asked as she placed her head on Matts chest as he wrapped his arms around her. "It would be nice but someone will be back and wanting to see her mom" he said as he kissed her before adding "what you were saying before Wills, about being scared. Dont be. I meant what i said, im not going anywhere, neither are the others. We all love you, I love you" "I love you too Matt. I cant wait for this week to be over so we can try and get back to some normality" she said as Ruby kicked. "Im so glad i got you this time around Matt. You get to experience all of this with me" "And i wouldnt change a second of it Wills" he said as he kissed her forehead as she shivered. "You ok Wills?" Matt asked as Willow nodded. "Im just a little cold. And hungry" she replied before kissing him. "What would my queen like to eat?" he asked as Willow replied seductively "something bad"
Matt got out of the bed and headed to the ensuite to take a quick shower. As Willow heard the bathroom door close, she heard her cell ping with a new notification. She sighed as she opened the new notification and almost wretched when she saw the headline. She clicked the link and watched as the events of the last few hours replayed in front of her. Who did this? What kind of sick, twisted fuck are you? she thought to herself as Matt reentered the room. "Wills, whats going on? Youre shaking like crazy" Willow said nothing, but showed Matt the video that had been playing on her cell. He watched in silence, but felt himself getting angrier as the video went on. "Who would do this? And how and when did they get the chance to hide a fucking camera?" he said, angrily as Willow replied quietly "Ive no idea Matt. I feel so sick knowing hes been in here. Violated again." "Where are you?" Matt said to himself as he began the hunt for the hidden camera. "I hope noone else has seen it. The one with Dean was bad enough, but now they've dragged you into it" Willow said, trying to hold back her tears. "Gotcha!" Matt exclaimed as he pulled out a tiny camera from the bookshelf. "Matt, i..." Willow mumbled before blacking out.
"Wills...Wills wake up" Matt pleaded as she fluttered her eyes open. "What happened Matt? My head is killing me" she whispered as Matt held her. "You blacked out Wills. Only for a few minutes but you were lifeless. It scared me, i dont want to lose you" he replied as Willow took a deep breath. "Can we stay in and chill tonight? And i dont want the others knowing about..." she said as Matt kissed her "I wont tell them Wills. Its between us. Why dont you stay in bed a bit longer and i'll bring you some food?" he said as she shook her head. "I need to get out of this room, this house. This place in general Matt" She said as she sat up and put her head on Matts shoulder. "Not long to go Wills" he replied as they heard the front door opening. "Moooooooooooooooooooommmmmy...Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddddy" they heard Jasmine calling from downstairs, which made Willow smile. "Thats better. I love it when you smile Wills" Matt said as he began to dress. "Go on down to her Matt. I'll be down in ten" she replied as she slowly got out of bed and headed for the bathroom. "Hey Matt, thank you for listening and being here" she said before closing the bathroom door and turning on the shower. As soon as Matt heard the water he headed downstairs to Jasmine, Amy and Adam whilest Willow broke down silently.
Willow stepped out of the shower fifteen minutes later. As she reentered the bedroom she got a slight shock with Amy sitting on her bed. Amy didnt have to say anything and Willow just knew. "You know dont you? Youve seen it" she said quietly as Amy nodded. "Wills, i hate to break it to you but its online. I think its horrible. I think its a horrendous situation to be in..." Amy said as Willow shook her head before replying "I dont even want to talk about it. I feel so violated, i feel sick. I just want to get out of this place. Matt was furious when it came out. I still feel sick. I just want whoever did it, caught" "I know Wills. We all do" Amy said as Willow sat next to her on the bed. "Should things be this hard mom?" she asked as Amy hugged her and asked "Is something else going on Wills? No one would blame you for feeling fed up" "I guess im still trying to make it work with Matt, although we are getting there, its an ongoing battle. Im still scared that Reby is going to comeback and take Matt. I'm starting to feel like im not good enough for him. I wish i knew how long that camera had been there for, or if theres anymore elsewhere" Willow said as her cell started ringing. She took a quick glance at the caller ID and declined the call. "I cant even deal with Vince right now. Hes going to have a million and one questions and i dont have the answers" Willow sighed as her cell started ringing again. Starting to get frustrated, Willow turned off her cell and threw it against the wall out of anger. "Wills, i understand that youre frustrated and angry but you need to calm down. You'll make yourself ill. Of course you're good enough for him. " Amy said as Willow sat back on the bed next to her. "I just cant take anymore. I cant take any more of Victor, of Dean, of this whole shitty situation. I should be so happy right now, i've got Matt, ive got the girls, ive got pretty much everything i ever wanted since arriving here, but im not. Im miserable. Its like everytime something good happens, ten bad things happen. I havent said anything to Matt but im getting to the point where i want to go home. To the UK" Willow said as Amy held her. "You should talk to Matt. He loves you, we all do. If you need to talk or just need a babysitter for a few hours, then im here. If you need to get away from everything and everyone to get perspective, im here. I'll always be here." Amy said before continuing "The cops will get Victor and he'll go away for ever. You've only got to deal with Dean until the end of this week and then we can go back to ignoring him" "Thanks mom, i just hope that theres nothing else on that camera that could put an even bigger wedge between myself and Matt" Willow said, sighing. "You talking about the guy you were with when you and Matt split" Amy asked as Willow nodded, but before she could say anything else, Jasmine burst into the room and tackled Willow on the bed with a cuddle attack.
"Hi mommy! I missed you. Daddy says lunch is ready" Jasmine said as she squeezed Willow tight. "I missed you too Jas. Why dont you go and tell daddy that we'll be downstairs in a few minutes. Then why dont we dont we spend this afternoon watching movies?" Willow replied as Jasmine nodded before climbing off the bed and running downstairs to Matt, leaving Willow and Amy alone again. "Will you be ok Wills?" Amy asked as Willow as she nodded. "I'll be ok. I'll survive, i always do" she said as she quickly dressed before the two headed downstairs. "Hey Ames, Wills. Matts just on the phone to Vince. Vince is furious" Adam said as the two women entered the living area. Willow slumped onto one of the sofas as Amy said to Adam "We're not talking about it. Shes in a bad head space. Im worried about her Ads" "Matts irate, Vince is furious. How much more do these two have to deal with?" Adam asked as Matt returned to the room. "Vince is furious. He was asking all these questions i just didnt have the answers to. Im taking the camera to the cops first thing tomorrow.l dread to think how long its been in the room" he said as he glanced over at Willow on the sofa, with Jasmine snuggling into her. "Shes struggling, isnt she?" he asked as Amy nodded. "Shes got so much on her plate already Matt, im scared that this is going to push her away from us." she replied as Matt nodded. "I dont want her pushing us away either so im giving her space and time. She knows im here for her" he said as Adam added "I think shes verging on depression Matt, and im sure im not the only one whose thought that recently" "Brooke mentioned something a while back" Matt said before adding "I know Wills been quieter than usual, but shes trying not to get stressed or freaked out by everything" "She knows that we're here for her" Amy said as Matt went and sat next to his wife. "Ames, whats wrong?" Adam asked sensing that all wasnt right. "Im just worried about her thats all. Shes been through so much these few, well last 5 years really. I just want her to have some normality, where shes not terrified for her life or this mystery illness. She deserves to be happy" Amy said as Adam put his arms around her, and replied quietly "Willows stronger than you know. She'll fight for everything and even when shes feeling low shes got an amazing mom to support her" "Hey you guys, come chill. Enjoy the movie" Willow said noticing them staring, as they sat down together as a family and spent the afternoon together, the earlier events still playing on their minds.
It was early evening an Willow was almost asleep on the sofa. "Why dont we put Jas to bed Matt, let you and Wills have some alone time?" Amy asked as Matt nodded and replied "That would be amazing, thanks Ames" he said as he sat on the floor next to Jasmine, who passed him a plastic tea cup and said "Tea party daddy?" "Ok but not for long Jas, its almost bedtime" Matt replied sneeking a quick glance at Willow, before focussing on Jasmine. Matt and Jasmine played for around 90 minutes before he said "Hey Jas, ready for bathtime?" as Jasmine nodded, Willow awoke from her slumber. "Hey Jas, want me to read you a story after?" Amy asked as Jasmine nodded. "I'll go bathe her Ames. I'll probably be around 45 minutes" Matt said as he picked up Jasmine before heading upstairs leaving Amy and Willow alone. "How long was i out for?" Willow mumbled as she sat upright on the sofa. "Since Jas put Frozen on. You feeling ok Wills?" Amy asked as she joined her daughter on the sofa. "Im ok, my head is still spinning from this morning" Willow replied adding "Im so far behind with these rehersals, theres no way im winning this competition" "Of course you are Wills. Youre the best one left" Amy said as she pulled Willow into a hug. "Thanks mom. I think im going to head to the studio tomorrow, see if i can catch up" Willow said as Jasmine ran into the room and tried to snuggle between them. "Hey Jazzy J, have you been in the bath?" Willow asked as Jasmine nodded as she hugged her mom. "Hey Jas, bedtime" Matt called as he entered the room. "Ready for story time Jas?" Amy asked as Jasmine said "10 minutes with momma" "Ok Jas, 10 minutes cuddles with mom. Then bed" Willow replied as she put her arms around her. The ten minutes went by so quick, Jasmine was almost asleep when Amy picked her up and said "Bedtime Jas" before facing Matt and Willow adding, "Myself and Adam are heading out for food and a movie so you guys will have this place to yourselves for the night" "Thanks Ames, it'll be good to have some time alone" Matt said as he looked at Willow as she yawned. As Amy left the room with Jasmine, Matt sat next to Willow and kissed her forehead. "Are you hungry Wills? I could order take out. Or i could make your favourite seafood pasta" he asked as she leaned into him. "That pasta sounds so good right now" Willow sighed before continuing "followed by mint ice cream, chocolate and a movie. But first i think im going to go take a bath, try and relax a bit. Its been a..." "a crazy day" Matt said cutting her off and finishing her sentence, making her smile."Thats better. I love it when you smile" he said as Willow stood up to go upstairs, "Actually Matt there is something i want to talk to you about. But it can wait until after dinner" she said before disappearing upstairs.
"Feeling better Wills?" Matt asked as she reemerged in the kitchen an hour later. "A little. I'd feel even better once ive eaten this pasta and finally get to relax with my favourite person" Willow replied as she kissed him. "Food will be ten minutes. Go get comfy and i'll bring it through" Matt said as Willow kissed him again before sitting at the diner bar. "I think id rather watch you work" She teased as he asked "so what did you want to talk about earlier?" "Nothing really, just a silly idea i had for after Ruby is here" Willow said as Matt turned and looked at her and said "tell me Wills. I want to know" "I want to go back to the UK. To Mike and Graces, just for a few weeks after Rubes is born. I think the girls should know about them and have a chance to see where i grew up" Willow said as Matt served up the pasta. "I dont think thats silly at all Wills. In fact i think its an amazing idea" he replied as Willow smiled and sighed as she ate. "I guess ive got so much self doubt in my head right now and ive no idea where its coming from. Im already so far behind this week with the finale, theres no way im winning" "Wills, you're winning. You are an amazing singer, no one comes close to you on that show. As for all this self doubt, i think you've been under alot of pressure and stress with everything thats gone on, youve lost confidence in yourself." Matt replied adding "but you'll get it back once you win this competition and away from Dean, Victor will be caught, as will Willowtree/Jellyelly guy" "I hope youre right Matt because i hate feeling like this" Willow said before adding "I think im going to go see someone when we get home" "Like a therapist?" Matt asked as Willow nodded "I know that ive got you and the rest of you guys to lean on, but i feel like theres some underlying issues. Possibly starting when Dean first cheated on me, if not earlier" "Wills, you dont have to explain anything to me. Whatever you need to do, I got your back. I wil support you every step of the way" Matt replied as they finished eating. "Go get comfy Wills, i'll be through shortly. Im just going to clean up in here" he said as Willow stood up and walked over to him. "Leave them until the morning" she whispered in his ear before leading him into the living area, where she kissed him until they ended up on the sofa.
"Thank you for tonight Matt. I really needed this after the last few weeks" Willow said a few hours later, as she placed her head in his lap, where he brushed her hair off her face. "I think i might go into the studio tomorrow. See if i can catch up a little, maybe find out who im duetting with because i still dont know" she added as Matt leaned over and kissed her forehead. "You deserve it Wills, especially after the shit i put you through" Matt said, trying not to mention Reby by name. "You're amazing Wills. I love you and im never going to stop making it up to you" he added as she shook her her softly. "I love you too. No more talk about that Matt. Im over it. I want to move forward with my life, with us" she said, hiding a yawn. "I think i might head up to bed. Ruby and this illness, whatever it is, is taking so much out of me. Im just drained" "You go on up Wills, I'll be up in 10 minutes" he replied as Willow sat up, placing her hands on her bump, along with Matts as they felt Ruby kicking. "Dont think i'll be sleeping any time soon if this one keeps doing drop kicks" Willow joked as they heard the front door open. "Hey you guys are still up" Amy said as she entered the living area and saw Matt and Willow on the sofa. "Just about mom. I was about to head up and then this one started doing the can can" Willow joked as Amy and Adam sat on the opposite sofa. "You guys look happier than you have been" Adam said as Willow placed her head on Matts shoulder as he replied "I think we're finally getting back to a good place. So much good to look forward to aswell" "Like Wills winning at the weekend" "Rubys impending arrival" "Matt winning the title at Mania" the group said before Willow surprised them with the last one. "Wait, you're in the main event at Mania?" Adam asked as Matt nodded and Willow apologised "Im sorry Matt, i thought they knew" "Its ok Wills, they would have found out eventually. But yes, im in the main event of Mania" Matt said, adding "Vince said i still have my shot from Extreme Rules so im using it for Mania" "If the plans ive heard are true then its going to be a hell of a match" Adam said as Willow hid another yawn. "Wills, go on up to bed. Youre exhausted. I'll be up soon" Matt said as he kissed her forehead as she stood up. "Sorry guys, i'll see you in the morning before i head to the studio" Willow said before heading upstairs to bed.
"Is she ok Matt? Shes been quiet all day" Amy asked as Matt shook his head before replying "Shes exhausted Ames. This competition, pregnancy, illness its taking all her energy. Not to mention Victor, Dean and that other creep." "Is it ever going to end for her? Wills has been through enough these last few years" Adam said as he put his arms around Amy. "Matt you know shes fragile right now, shes still scared that Reby is going to return and youre going to run off with her. Wills thinks shes not good enough for you anymore" Amy said as Matt replied "Thats ridiculous. Of course Wills is good enough, in fact shes way out of my league. Im the lucky one and theres no way in hell im going anywhere with Reby. Willow and the girls are my top priority." "We know that Matt, but does she?" Amy asked as Matt said "I tell her everyday" "Maybe you need to show her Matt. Nothing to grand or fancy, maybe a few days on your own together?" Adam suggested as Matt stood up to head up to bed. "It is something to think about. I guess we'll see what happens after these next few days" he said before heading upstairs to join his wife in bed, leaving Amy and Adam worried about both Matt and Willow.
