Trinity looked up from her breakfast as Neo sat down across from her. It was later that day and they all

were eating at Spark's room. Neo's face lit up at the sight of something other than mush on his plate. There were

small pieces of bread (or at least that's what it looked like) and something that looked like tiny rolls. Neo dug in as

everyone watched in amusement.

Match giggled from the corner where she knelt, playing with a small rag doll. Neo looked up and presently

became aware that everyone was watching him.

"What?"

No one answered and he went back to engulfing his meal, course by course.

"Somebody's hungry." Trinity remarked under her breath.

Neo heard, "Somebody's ornery."

"Did you have a nice shower?" Trinity asked casually.

It took Neo a while before what she said dawned upon him, "You know, Trinity, for someone who loves

me, you don't really seem to like me very much."

"Oh, is that right? Did I say this before or after you refused to take care of our baby?"

The chair scraped the floor as Neo pushed away from the table, "Okay, it's not our baby, and I never said

that! Stop putting words in my mouth!"

"Putting them in your mouth?" Trinity stood up, "You know that's how you feel and it shows every time

you open your mouth!"

Flame and Spark watched them curiously as Neo stood up and faced her, "What the hell are you talking

about?! I never said anything like that!"

"Yes you did, you dumbass! You said it hardly an hour ago!"

Spark stood up and walked over to Match, who was watching wide-eyed, "Okay, Match, why don't you go

see if you can help mommy with the dishes, okay?"

"But I-"

Spark ushered her through the kitchen door and Flame followed them.

Neo and Trinity stood glaring at each other from across the table.

"You know," Trinity said, staring Neo coldly in the eyes, "I didn't ask to have this baby, okay? Trust me,

I'd do anything not to!"

"All you've been doing is yelling at me! Your not the oracle, you can't read my mind!"

"Well I can read your emotions pretty damn well!"

"What that supposed to mean?!"

Trinity stepped onto the table and then onto the ground on the other side. Neo backed up.

"It means that you're insensitive," she shoved him backwards, "Stupid," she shoved him again, "And

selfish!" She pushed him one last time and he hit wall.

She stared at him as she had him pinned against the metallic walls: his dark eyes were questioning, his glare

was unwavering, and those two strands of hair on the top of his head that never seemed to stay down made him

looked so damn cute. She pressed her lips against his and felt him passionately kissing back. They stayed in the

liplock for nearly two minutes before the door swung open and Morpheus entered, followed by a dark man with a lot

of braids, interrupting Neo and Trinity as they were making up/out.

Morpheus cleared his throat loudly and the two pulled apart. Trinity smiled, "Morpheus. May I help you?"

Morpheus smiled, "I'd like you to meet our new operator, Link."

The man stepped forward, a bit embarrassed for intruding. He shook hands with Trinity, then Neo, who was

still pinned against the wall. Trinity released him and they all stood there in an uneasy silence.

Morpheus spoke, "Link, this is Trinity and-"

"Neo. I know. Basically everyone does," he laughed uneasily and Spark stuck his head in the room.

"Is the war over?" he asked cautiously.

"We've reached peaceful negotiations," Trinity said, her arms still wrapped around Neo's waist.

Link stepped forward, "It'll be an honor to work with you both." He looked as if he really meant it, too.

"Yeah," Neo smiled, "Same here. It's about time we got someone else on the ship. Now we have four

people instead of three."

Trinity looked at Neo, "Five, Neo, five."

"Nuh uh, four... oh. Excuse me." He broke free and ran towards the bathroom.

"Door on your left, sweetie!" Trinity called after him.

Link looked concerned, "He okay?"

"Yeah," Trinity reassured him, "Just severe case of commitment phobia."
