I don't own any of these characters.
My heart fluttered. My head was swimming. I felt weak all over. And all because I was about to ask Matt if he wanted to play a fatherly figure or not in our child's life.
"Matt, as you know, I'm pregnant with your child."
He remained at the door, arms crossed over his chest leaning against the wall. His steely eyes bore holes into me as I began to speak again. "Yeah. Well, I just wanted to know if you wanted any part in this. I mean, if not, Rob is more than willing to adopt this child as his. If you don't want to have anything to do with us, that is."
For what seemed like an eternity, Matt lingered by the doorframe. Finally, he began to speak. "Amy, I was heartbroken when I saw you and Rob together. That, I'm sure you know."
I nodded, praying that he wouldn't stop speaking. It took so much to open him up like this that I didn't want to blow my chances of hearing it all.
"I felt like my heart had literally been ripped out of my chest. I didn't know what to do. So I resorted to violence. I know it was wrong, and I know it happened again and again. I never wanted to hurt you. In fact, I wish nothing but the best for you. If you are happy with Rob, then I'm happy for your contentment."
Exhilaration raged through my body as he spoke those words. He had finally one hundred percent accepted the fact that Rob and I were truly in love and nothing was going to change that. I felt thrilled at the fact that he knew this, but there was only one problem. He still hadn't answered my question.
As if reading my mind, he said, "As for the baby, I want to have a part in this child's life. Definitely. No questions asked; this is my child, too, and I do want to be able to see him or her. However, I am willing to go with seeing the baby whenever I can. On tour dates, at home, whenever I can. That's all I ask."
I jumped up and threw my arms around him. I couldn't have loved him more, as a friend, for this. That was exactly what I wanted to hear. Knowing how he had been the past few weeks, I prepared myself for an enormous fight for this child that I carried. But he had gone with the same idea I had and took the words right out of my mouth! I was so thrilled.
When I explained the situation to Rob, he was ecstatic. I could see that he would be happy being a father to this baby and so would Matt. I was so elated that I called up everyone I knew and told them. Vince was more than happy to hear that all happiness had been restored in the family he called the World Wrestling Federation.
That's what we were. One big family. There was no doubt in my mind about that one. When one of us needed someone, they were there. When one of us was hurt, the rest were hurt. When one of us was happy, the rest were happy. And our child would be a part of that, too, I'm sure. But that's another story entirely.
