Summary: Someone else arrives in the scene.
The months slowly passed and her bump grew. Although Amy had stopped escorting Matt and Jeff to the ring after three months into the pregnancy, she'd continued travelling with them until she was seven months gone. Vince knew the story and was going to pretend to everyone that Matt was injured so he could have the last month off with Amy. They were always out shopping for things for the baby, and this sometimes made Dan angry but he dared not touch her for chance of a miscarriage. They were getting married in a few months. Obviously, she wasn't very enthusiastic about it but she felt almost forced to marry him. Matt had gotten over the initial shock of the engagement but he never once stopped loved her. He just wished he had the chance to show her. He was still with Kim even though they were experiencing some problems. They were in her house, lying on her bed. Dan was out, probably either in work or down the pub. Amy was on her bed and watched as Matt stroked her stomach and placed headphones on her. She laughed as she felt the baby kick. It never failed to amaze her when Matt became teary-eyed if he felt the baby kick or when they heard the heartbeat. He placed a kiss to the bump then raised himself so that he was eye-level with Amy. It was true when they said that you love someone more when she's pregnant with your child. Though he knew it wasn't fair on Kim, the fact of the matter was, he fell in love with Amy more with each passing day. Kissing her forehead lightly, he gathered her in his arms as she drifted off to sleep. She wasn't really sleeping yet though and recalled the events from her first scan.
~Six And A Half Months Ago~
The scan showed that everything was going smoothly. They listened to the heartbeat and looked intently at the photograph. Amy couldn't believe how emotional Matt was getting over it all. She knew she was glad he was the father and not Dan. Matt would definitely be the best father he could possibly be. After everything had been sorted, they began to make their way to the car when she told him to go ahead for a minute, as she needed to talk to the midwife. "Umm, something happened one night and I ended up sleeping with Matt. I know he's the father but I'm still with somebody, Dan. He thinks it's but we always use protection but Matt and I didn't. Would it be possible to put his name on the birth certificate without Dan knowing?" she asked, hopefully. "I'll see what I can do. And Matt seems like he's going to be a fantastic father!" the midwife answered, smiling.
~Present time~
Amy laughed at the memory. Matt looked at her questioningly but she just shook her head and cuddled closer to him before falling asleep. He watched her peacefully. Her red hair was fanned out around the pillow, making her look beautiful through the evening glow of the sky from the window. Placing a kiss to her forehead, he ran his hand over her swollen stomach. His daughter or son was in there and would be entering the world in three months. He listened as Amy breathed lightly as she slept, having no idea that he was watching her intently. This was how he wanted things; Matt with her, them spending time together as a family, content in each other's arms. But this wasn't the case. Instead, they were just friends yet she was still having his baby. Matt sighed and rested his chin just above Amy's head and fell asleep. "Jeff, have you got everything?" Matt yelled the next morning as they loaded the car. His younger brother came out of the house, holding Amy's suitcases. She was going with them for a week.along with Kim and Dan. "Yeah. Let's go then. Where's Amy though?" Jeff asked, putting the cases into the trunk of the car. Just then, she came out with a video camera. Once they were set, they began driving. They had rented a minivan to ensure that she would be comfortable throughout the four-hour journey to the Bi-Lo centre in Greenville, South Carolina. Jeff was driving first and Dan was in the front, discussing the wedding. He had actually asked Matt and Jeff to be his best men, surprising everyone as he had never talking much of a liking towards the two. Kim was already sleeping in the very back of the minivan, leaving Matt and Amy in the middle seat together. She had laid her head in his lap, as they laughed while looking through old tapes on the video camera. They were mostly of other car journeys, OMEGA events and the old days. It was already half an hour into the journey when they had to stop so she could use the bathroom. Pulling over in Taco Bell's, she quickly disappeared, leaving them all to order food and talk a bit. "Jeff, I've got a bad feeling about tomorrow. I can't shake it off though," Matt said, obviously worried. "How do you mean?" Jeff asked, curious. "I don't know. Something involving Amy. I'll have to keep an eye on her. I'm not having anything happening to her or the baby." "Whoa bro. Things will be okay. I've got to ask though, what happened that night and do you love Amy?" "She was upset about Dan kissing another girl and back at the hotel, things went different than expected. There was definitely something there. Yeah, I love her." They were soon interrupted when Kim wrapped her arms around Matt and saw Dan walking with a frustrated looking Amy at his side. Jeff shot her a questioning look but she shook her head and carefully climbed back into the van, immediately settling by Matt before anyone could get there. For the rest of the trip, the two Hardy brothers took it in turn to drive. When they arrived at the hotel, they discovered there were only two rooms with single beds and another with a singular and double bed. Jeff quickly took the three-bedded room for himself, Matt and Amy to share because of the situation and left the other two with the single rooms. They all went to their registered rooms to settle down. Jeff went to find Adam and Jay to give his older brother and best friend some time alone, who were lying in the room watching TV. It was late at night and Amy was extremely fatigue so it didn't take her long to fall asleep in Matt's arms. They were at the arena the next day, chatting in the locker rooms. Altogether, there was Matt, Amy, Jeff, Shane, Shannon and Kim. Beth had also joined them that morning after realising there were no college lectures. They had the video camera and were messing around, much like they did when they were in OMEGA. Amy had no idea where Dan was but wasn't really bothered at this point. She was sitting between Matt and Jeff, laughing as everyone told jokes. Though Kim didn't seem too happy about something. Beth was holding the video camera when Amy decided to make a video about her pregnancy. "Well everyone, I am in fact pregnant and I only have three months left until I have a little son or daughter," she informed, a huge smile on her face. That was until Dan entered, wondering what was going on. "I'm filming my pregnancy." "Well in that case, I'm the father and Amy's fiancé," he said, causing her and Matt to look at one another. "Let me just say that I should be returning to the ring in four months time." "What? I thought you were going to quit wrestling now," Dan asked, getting somewhat angry. "No, I have no intention of doing so." He stormed from the room, leaving everyone confused. Amy got up, protecting her stomach and went to find him. He was by the vending machines looking very frustrated. She carefully approached him and asked if they talk in private. Reluctantly, he followed her to an empty dressing room and sat opposite her as they began talking. Though, it was actually him shouting and Amy getting frightened with his temper. Meanwhile, Matt's sense of worry from the day before had returned, and this time it was stronger than ever. He was in the shower, getting ready for his match but he quickly jumped out and changed into jeans and a Team Xtreme t-shirt. He had a feeling something was wrong with Amy and he intended to find her. After walking through the halls, he finally heard shouting from one of the rooms. Barging in, he saw Dan yelling his head off and Amy crying. "Ames, are you okay?" he asked, helping her up. "You stupid bastard. She could lose the baby if you frighten her!" he shouted at Dan. "She's my damn fiancée. I'll talk to her anyway I like," he retorted, grabbing Matt's shirt and spinning him around. Instinctively, his hand shot out, connecting with Dan's jaw, sending him to the ground. Grabbing Amy's hand, he helped her to their locker room. As soon as they entered, she hugged him tightly as the tears slowly slipped down her cheeks. Matt's eyes were also beginning to water. He softly kissed her lips then bent down, kissing her stomach. Standing up again, he rested his forehead between her neck and shoulder, pulling her close. He wanted to tell her how much he loved her, and would have done so but Kim walked through the door. She looked suspiciously at them but calmed down when Matt kissed her softly. Amy went to the bathroom and wiped her stomach. She didn't know what was going to happen to her and Dan now. He had called her all the names under the sun but luckily hadn't touched her. Sighing, she sat on the floor and thought about everything. Suddenly, she felt a pain rip across her stomach. At first, she ignored it but then another came along before she felt something trickle between her legs. "Oh my god! Matt, get in here!" she screamed, clutching her stomach. He rapidly ran in to see what was wrong. "My waters have broke early." "You have two months left. Come on, we're going to the hospital," he answered, helping her up. She looped her arm around his neck as they hobbled through the halls and into the parking lot. Finding their car, they sped to the hospital with Jeff and the others in tow in Beth's car. Arriving, they quickly went to reception and informed one of the passing doctors she's gone into labour. Almost immediately, they put on her a bed and whisked her off the delivery rooms. Out of nowhere, they asked if Matt was the father. Amy nodded and bit her bottom lip as another contraction tore through her stomach. "Yeah I am. But Amy's only seven months pregnant. It's too early." The doctors exchanged looks then informed they would go ahead anyway. Entering the deliverance room, they made Matt put the specialised equipment on for hygienic reasons. He stood by Amy's side, holding her hand and trying to calm her down slightly. He kissed her forehead and brushed her hair away. She wasn't actually ready to start pushing yet but the contractions were getting closer together.and more painful. Gripping Matt hand tighter, she clenched her teeth as another pain slashed through her abdomen. After another twenty minutes, the doctor decided it was time. Looking up, Matt saw Jeff, Shane and Steph poke their heads by the window. He gave them the thumbs up and smiled, signalling it was time. With the encouragement of him, and the nurses and doctors, she pushed for the first time and let out a scream. Even after all her matches and some of the nasty bumps she had taken in the past, that pain was nothing compared to what she was going to experience. "Matt, call my mother and tell her to come. OW!" she informed as she tried pushing again. "I will now, babe. You're doing great," he commented, placing a soft kiss to her hand, making her heart melt. "Just think, you'll be returning to the ring soon and we can talk to Vince about you becoming the woman's champion," he said, trying to reassure her. The nurses looked at them and saw they were in love. After a few more pushes and half an hour later, she heard the quiet cries of her new baby. But the happy atmosphere quickly changed when they saw one of the doctors whisk the baby away. Amy looked worriedly at Matt. "What's going on? Where are they talking our baby?" she cried, frantically.
