Love Conquers all

Author's note: This story is a slight A/U for events that you would not normally see in 7th Heaven. Also, this is my first 7th Heaven story so please be gentle with your reviews. I am thinking of placing my other 7H story on here, but at the moment it is a work in progress, as is this story, but I got away from my original concept on that story. Also, I'm thinking of doing a series of stories called A Day in the Life of...then doing each of the main characters. Let me know what you think. Also, I know that 7th Heaven characters don't normally curse, but that's why this story is rated PG. But the most you'll hear them say is Hell. Occasionally you might hear them say Damn, but I doubt it. So I'm just warning you now. If you don't like the cursing in this story, don't read it. But it won't appear until later chapters, if it does appear at all. I'm just warning you in advance that it might appear.
Summary: What happens when an innocent night between Shana and Matt turns out to be more than they bargained for? Read to find out how Matt and Shana's lives will change, as well as the lives of the rest of the Camden's.
Disclaimer: I own none of these characters. They belong to Brenda Hampton and whoever else writes for this show. Don't sue, the least you'll get from me is a wad of gum and a few pennies. Any characters that may appear later in the story that you fo not recognize belong to me, so please do not take without permission.
Matt Camden sighed. He couldn't believe that in one day his

girlfriend

was leaving him to go to college in New York. He didn't blame her,

though. This was the opportunity she had been looking for for quite

awhile. And it wasn't like he could make her stay. Quite the opposite,

actually. He had been over at her apartment all morning helping her

pack, though he couldn't bear to do it anymore. It was coming closer

and closer to the time he had to say goodbye to her, and he didn't want

that moment to come. He wanted to cherish the rest of the time they

had together. Just then Shana came back into the room carrying more

boxes. She smiled sadly at Matt. "Matt, you don't have to help

anymore if you don't want to. I know how hard this is for you." she

said. He shook his head. "No. I want to help." he said, as he took

some of the boxes from her and started packing her stuff into them. A

few minutes later he looked at his watch. "I should get going. It's

getting late and you probably want to get some sleep. You do have an

early flight in the morning after all." he said. She nodded. "I do. But

don't leave." she begged him. He looked at her curiously. "But I can't

stay here." he said. "Why not? Nobody would ever know." she said.

He thought about it for a second. "True. Ok, I think I will." he said.

She nodded and kissed him. "Thanks. I don't want to be alone on my

last night." she told him. He nodded. "I can understand that." he said.

When Shana woke up the next morning, Matt was already up.

She looked around to see the rest of her boxes had been packed and

breakfast was sitting on the table for her. Matt stepped out of the

bathroom just then, a towel wrapped around his neck. "Morning." he

said. She smiled at him and pointed to the table. "Did you do all

this?" she asked. He nodded. "When did you have time?" she asked

again. "Early this morning, before you were even awake." he said.

She sat down to eat her breakfast. She smiled at him as she swallowed

a bite of the omlet he had made her. "That's pretty good. I didn't know

you could cook." she said. He shrugged. "It's a hidden talent. Comes

from all those years of taking care of my sisters and brother when

Mom and Dad were gone. Don't tell anyone about it though." he told

her. Just then Shana pushed the plate away from her. "What's

wrong?" Matt asked her, alarmed. She didn't say anything, instead

just got up and ran to the bathroom. Matt stared after her, frowning.

'That came on suddenly.' he thought, as she came out of the bathroom.

"Are you alright?" he asked her, his voice dripping with concern. She

nodded. "Yes. But I think you better leave." she told him. "But I

thought I was taking you to the airport." he said. She shook her head.

"I'll do that. Just leave. And don't let anyone know you stayed over

here last night." she told him, as she pushed him out the door. Matt

stared at the door as it slammed in his face.
