It was the end of a long day for Matt and Amy. Matt pulled the covers over Amy as she
lay in the hospital bed that she would be spending the night in. Their daughter lay in a
small glass incubator to the side of them. Matt leant into it, kissing the head of his baby
girl goodnight. He turned back to Amy. "I've just got to ask. Why did you leave that
morning? Why didn't you talk to me after?"
"We didn't plan what happened, it just did. I didn't know what you would think of it. I
thought you would tell me that it was all a mistake and should never have happened."
"It wasn't a mistake. Look what came out of it. Even without her it would never have
been a mistake. That night, when you were sleeping, I looked at you and I was so happy
that i'd be waking up with you the next morning, but when the morning came, you
weren't there."
"I'm so sorry. I was just scared."
Matt shook his head. "It doesn't matter. As long as you know now, I wanted it to
happen."
"So did I. I was just afraid that you didn't."
"Well, how do you think I felt when you wouldn't talk to me and then disappeared for a
few months." He smiled. "I'm glad you went though."
"You are?" She looked confused.
"If you hadn't I would never have realised that I loved you, and I still do. I want to be
with you forever."
"Matt, I love you too, and what happened made me realise it, but I need to say one thing."
He nodded. "Go ahead."
"Whatever happens I will let you see this baby. You're her dad and i'll always let you be
a part of her life. You don't need to be with me to be involved in her life. So if that's
what you're thinking then-"
"No, Amy. If there was no baby, if she had never existed, then I would still have felt
exactly the same way about you. I love our little girl so much, just by looking her and
knowing that she's ours, and I never want to spend a day away from her, but before she
existed this was never about her. This was about you and it's always gonna be about you.
This morning, I came to tell you that I was in love with you. I realised it before the baby. I
think that proves my point."
She smiled and she believed every word he had said. She loved him and she loved their
daughter. Amy wanted the three of them to stay together for eternity, and it her heart she
believed they would.
She leaned towards Matt and they shared an amazing kiss. It was one of passion, of love,
and of new beginnings. Cos hell, today had definitely been one for those.
