**Holy cow, an eleventh chapter! And I can't believe all the reviews I have gotten! Thank you all so much for reviewing, I lover reading them! I have gotten some serious reviews to kill off Sora, but honestly, I don't know how people would want to kill her, so I don't think I will. Now Tai, there's another story. I think I could easily kill him if ya'll want me too! Matt (*by a HUGE amount of reviews*) will not be dying. Mimi might sometime, no one has wanted her too. Anyway, here you go with another installment!**
War Torn
Chapter Eleven: Stay With Me Still
Mimi woke up and stared at the empty pillow beside her. It hadn't even been slept on. Instantly, tears formed in her eyes as she remembered the bitter fight she had with her new husband.
'Why would he take a dangerous mission like that, knowing he was about to become a father?' Mimi thought as she touched her slightly rounding belly. She was about four months pregnant, and the last thing she wanted was the love of her life leaving and dying for something unimportant to her.
"Can I come in?" Matt asked sheepishly as he cracked open the door to their bedroom. Mimi nodded and looked away. Matt walked in and began to rummage around in his closet.
"I'm sorry, you know. But I am leaving. I have to be there in half an hour." Matt stated, changing into some clothes. Mimi fought the urge to cry.
"Well, I'm not sorry. What you're doing. . .this special mission. . .is stupid. You're going to die over there for nothing." Mimi snapped.
"You think I will die? Do you?" Matt cried, angry. Mimi looked down at her hands as she sat in their bed.
"I don't know. I hope not. I love you, Matt!" Mimi cried, sobbing. Matt's shoulders slumped as he sat down on the bed and consoled Mimi, who was bawling openly.
"I'm sorry. . .I know you don't want me to go, but I'm going. I'll be back as soon as I can." Matt whispered. Mimi nodded and pushed Matt away gently.
"You better go. You'll be late." Mimi whispered.
"I love you. Please know that." Matt said quietly as he picked up a duffel bag and walked out of the room. He returned seconds later and kissed Mimi passionately.
"Be careful." Mimi said, wiping tears out of her eyes.
"You be careful too. I love you." Matt said, his blue eyes downcast and filled with sadness.
"I love you too Matt." Mimi said, whimpering slightly. Matt kissed her forehead and left the room. Mimi broke down again, sobbing into her pillow.
Matt stopped at Tai's barracks before going to the office for his meeting. Tai opened the door in his boxers and a white tank top.
"Sleeping in?" Matt asked. Tai nodded and pointed to his bed.
"I'm on leave." Tai replied groggily. Matt grinned and shook his head.
"I'm going to a meeting today, and I won't be coming back for awhile. I want to ask you to take care of Mimi while I am gone. She'll be having the baby in a few months, and I don't know if I will make it back in time." Matt requested. Tai stared at Matt blankly for a moment before furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.
"Where in the HELL would you be going?" Tai asked, sounding angry. Matt sighed and shifted his weight.
"I don't know. I got a letter, and I need to go to this meeting. It said Top Secret, so it must be dangerous. I'm going somewhere though, I know it." Matt replied.
"You're leaving your pregnant wife for a trip that could possibly bring you back in a pine box? Are you crazy?" Tai screeched.
"I need revenge." Matt said simply. Tai felt himself grow angry, but refused to show it.
"Okay Matt. Go on your little revenge trip. Just make sure you know that your baby could grow up without a daddy." Tai cried. Matt tried to speak, but Tai had slammed the door to the barracks. Matt sighed and got back into his car, speeding toward the offices where he would meet for his assignment.
Sora cut some tulips from their plants and took them inside her home. The whole house smelled like tulips and daisies, Sora's favorite flowers. Sora's mother, a petite middle aged woman with dark black hair dotted with gray, walked in and smiled.
"Is that wonderful young man of yours coming over again today?" Sora's mother asked. Sora nodded, a huge grin spread across her face.
"I think he's a lovely person. And your father has taken a liking to him too." The woman added, arranging some flowers in a vase.
"That's because they can talk to each other about the military." Sora said, snipping some leaves off a daisy. The doorbell rang, and Sora rushed to answer it. She was surprised to find Mimi standing outside the house, a miserable look on her face.
"Mimi, is everything okay?" Sora asked.
"No, Matt's going on some secret mission." Mimi sobbed. Sora gasped and led Mimi into the house, where she took a seat on the couch.
"Okay, dish. What exactly is happening?" Sora asked.
"Matt got a letter the other day, and it said that he was to report to some office so he could receive instructions on some top secret mission. Now he's there, and if he goes, he could die, and then our baby would be raised without a father . . . Sora I don't think I can take this!" Mimi wailed.
"Mimi, he'll come back. He loves you too much to die out there. Isn't that what he told you when he got back from Pearl Harbor?" Sora asked.
"I wouldn't be worried." Mrs. Takenouchi commented. Mimi looked up with frightened brown eyes.
"Why not?" Mimi asked.
"Because I know he'll come back. I was in the same position when Sora was little. And he came back in one piece. Trust him, he'll return for you. He cares for you very much." Mrs. Takenouchi said, ducking back out of the room as quickly as she had ducked in. Sora looked at Mimi, who sighed.
"I hope he comes back." Mimi whispered. The doorbell rang, and Tai walked in with Sora after she answered it.
"And that idiot went! I can't believe he left Mi-" Tai was cut off at the sight of Mimi sitting on the couch, her eyes red and puffy.
"He'll come back. I know it." Mimi said, determined.
In a small office decorated with plaques and certificates, Matt sat with an officer superior to him.
"So have you decided?" the man asked. Matt nodded and thought of Mimi for a moment.
"I'm going. When is my flight?"
**Ahahahaha! I am leaving it there for you to wait again! Sorry, but it's late, and I am very sleepy! Catch ya later if you review this nice-like!**
