mizuki no yume: Of course you're not going to kill Matt, why should you dothat? He's just going to be a father, right? Of Jun's child?

Chapter 3: Last Night Together
"Hey
sweety!" Tai exclaimed and Mimi smiled to him:
"Hey,
did you asked everyone?"
"Yup and everyone said yes." Tai replied, nodding
"Ok then, lets choose out clothes." Mimi said "Better do it now, since Aoshi is asheelp."
"Do we have to?" Tai asked, giving his wife a 'c'mon, I'm tired' look
Suddenly,
a cry errupted and Mimi smiled to her husband:
"No, because you're going to take care of your son." she replied
"Can't I choose the clothes?" Tai asked
"No."
Mimi replied, pointing to the door "Go!"
"Ok, ok, I'm going." Tai muttered, while walking towards the door
Smiling, Mimi shook her head.

Something was wrong; she could see it...she could feel it. He was too quiet, and he seemed like a machine. He cooked, he ate, he moved everytime he needed to, but he never talked. The only word he had told her had been 'hi' and he had only said that, because Yolei and Kari had been with her, to get dressed. But, when the two girls had return home, he hadn't even looked at her. She had talked to him about the dinner at Mimi's, but he didn't seemed to listened her. True, he was in the car, riding towards their friends' home but it was a silent trip, not even the radio was on.
"Hum...is there something wrong?" she asked, without taking her eyes of the car in front of them
"No." Matt replied, looking ahead
"Then,
why are you so quiet?" Sora asked, softly "If you don't
want to go, we can go back."
"No, I want to go." Matt replied, without looking at her.
Ok,
he was talking to her, that was good:
"Ok." she whispered "If you're sure."
"Yeah,
I'm sure." Matt muttered "Just have a lot to think."
"Oh?
About work?"
Matt's breath was caught in his throat: could he lie to her? Could he mantain a secret, what could be found in months?
"You could say that." he answered, after a few seconds
"Thinking about other trip, to space?" Sora asked, looking at him
"Yeah." Matt replied, softly
"Then,
promise me one thing." Sora started, in a whisper and, when Matt
parked the car in front of Mimi and Tai's house, he looked at her:
"What?"
Sora
licked her lips, before looking at him:
"Be careful." she replied, softly "I know you love your job, but I hate the thought that, maybe, you may not return."
"Sora..."
"It's
true." Sora interrupted, looking down "I can't help but
think that something can happen to you and I'll be left alone. I
can't see my life, without you."
Suddenly,
Matt felt like someone had punched him on his gut:
"Sora..."
he started, putting a hand on the girl's cheek "I'll...I'll
never leave you, alone."
"Promise?" Sora asked, with her eyes tearing
Matt
swallowed hard:
"Yeah, I promise."
Suddenly,
Sora kissed him right on the lips and Matt couldn't help but kiss her
back: he loved her so much...yet, he couldn't stay with her.
Then,
Sora broke the kiss:
"Don't forget it." she said, smiling
"I won't." Matt whispered, while his wife opened the door and got out of the car.
"Matt!" Sora called and Matt looked up, to see his wife close to the house door, waving "C'mon!"
Nodding,
Matt opened the door and walked towards Sora, who had already knocked
on the door:
"Coming!"
a voice exclaimed and, in
seconds, the door was open to reveal Tai with black trousers and a
dark blue shirt "Wow Sora, you're stunning." he said and
Sora blushed:
"Thanks Tai, you're very handsome too."
"Hey,
would you stop flirting?" Matt asked "Expecially when
someone's husband is
around."
Blushing a lot deeper, Sora excused herself while Matt and Tai started laughing.
"Sora!"
Mimi exclaimed and the auburn haired woman turned around, to see her
best friend dressed in a pink kimono, with little white flowers
around it "You're stunning."
Sora smiled:
"You too." she replied
"Is it one of
your dresses?" Mimi asked, looking at her friend up and down.
While Sora nodded, Mimi looked closely to the kimono: it was black,
and it had little white points, that made it look like the sky "I
want one of those." she said and Sora giggled:
"I'll see what
I can do."
"Let me guess, Kari and Yolei are also wearing some of yours?" Sora nodded "That's not fair! I'm the only one that doesn't have a Defectio Lunae's kimono!"
Sora laughed:
"Don't worry Mimi, you'll have some." she replied
~*~
Everyone was
dancing, talking, eating and drinking expect for a blond haired man,
who was sat on a chair, looking at space:
"Hey Matt."
a voice said and the man looked up, to see his brother:
"Hey TK."
he replied, while the other blond haired man sat in other chair
"So, what's
up?" TK asked and Matt shruged:
"Jun has done the tests." he answered, softly
TK blinked his eyes,
confused:
"Already? I didn't knew it could be that fast."
Matt shruged:
"What's
important, is that I already know." he said and TK licked his
lips:
"And?" Matt looked around until his eyes fall on Sora, whp was laughing and talking with Izzy, Cody, Yolei and Ken. 'She's beautiful, when she's smiling.' he thought 'And I ruined everything...'
"Matt?" TK
called, waving a hand in front of his brother's face "Still with
me?"
Suddenly Matt got
up, before looking at his brother:
"Lets go outside." he said and TK, still a bit confused, got up before following his brother towards the balcony.
When they were
finally outside, TK looked at his brother:
"So, wanna tell
me what's going on?"
"Jun's
pregnant..." Matt started and TK interrupted him:
"I know that, already."
"And I'm the father." Matt finished, as if he hadn't been interrupt
TK stayed silent,
while he tried hard to digest what he had been told:
"What?" he asked, after a few seconds "Excuse me, did I just heard you're going to be the father of Jun's child?"
"Keep it down." Matt hissed
"They can't heard us." TK replied, looking angry "What are you going to do now? Did you told Sora?"
"No." Matt
replied, almost in a whisper "I can't."
"What? Tell
your wife, you're going to be a father? Or that you want to divorce,
because the mother of your child, is the girl Sora hates?"
Matt closed his
eyes, while closing his fists:
"TK, I can't
tell her." he whispered and TK throw his arms in the air:
"Of course you can't, but don't worry, she'll know in a few months."
Matt opened his eyes, and looked angry to his brother:
"You're not
helping."
"Helping in what?" the blond haired boy asked "There's nothing I can do, the damage is already done!"
Suddenly the music
stopped and the two brothers looked towards the door:
"What
happened?" Matt asked and TK shruged, while the two of them
start walking inside:
"Jun!" Mimi's voice exclaimed and Matt frozed: 'Jun?' he repeated 'Jun's here?'
Slowly, he entered
inside the room, to see Davis beside his sister, both close to the
door. Sora was a bit far from the girl, and Matt quickly walked to
her side:
"What is she
doing here?" he whispered and Sora looked at him:
"Davis said she
wanted to come." she replied and it's then that Tai cleared his
throat:
"Well, thank you for coming Jun." he started and the girl smiled to him, before start looking around for Matt. When she saw him, she smiled "Lets continue with the party." Tai completed and music was turned on.
"Hello Matt."
Jun complimented, before looking at the auburn haired woman "Sora."
"Hello Jun." Sora complimented, and then she looked at Matt "Wanna dance?"
"Yeah, sure." Matt replied, though his eyes were locked with Jun's.
When the pair desappears, Jun smiled: she knew Matt hadn't told a thing to Sora, and she knew he had pleaded for her not to say a thing, when they shared the look. Well, she wouldn't say anything during the night, mostly because she wanted Sora to continued living her dream, before it turned into a nightmare.
~*~
"Matt, are you ok?" Sora asked, while she and Matt waited for a song to begin
"Yeah, I'm
fine." Matt replied "Why do you ask?"
"You're thinking about Jun, aren't you?" Sora asked, as if she hadn't heard his question
Matt felt his breath
been caught in his throat:
"Hum...you could say that."
Sora smiled, before
giving him a peck on his lips:
"Well don't worry, you're mine." she replied
Mhmn bye bye
How do you love someone
That hurts you oh so bad
With intentions good
Was all he ever had
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime
Giving up what seems your lifetime
What went wrong with something once so good
Once again, Matt felt like someone had just punched him, when he hearded the first words, and other punch, when Sora put her arms around his neck and her head against his chest. 'Damn you, Tai.' he thought 'Couldn't you have choosen other song?' From the corner of his eyes, Matt could see Jun sat on the couch looking at him, with her hands on her tummy and a smile on her face. Closing his eyes, Matt layed his chin against Sora's head and took a deep breath.
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
I know now I was naïve
Never knew where this would lead
And I'm not trying to take away
From the good man that he is
But how do I let go when I've
Loved him for so long and I've
Given him all that I could
Was it something wrong that we did
Because others infiltrated
What went wrong with something once so good
"I love you..." Sora whispered, close to Matt's ear and Matt made a small smile:
"I love
you, too." he replied, and he felt Sora smiling.
He was making a huge mistake by saying those words, he knew it, but he couldn't help it. Though he was going to be a father, he couldn't deny that he loved the woman in his arms with all his soul, and not even Jun was going to stop it from growing more everyday.
How do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
Is this the end are you sure
How should you know when you've never been here before
It's so hard to just let go
When this is the one and only love I've ever known
So how do you find the words to say
To say goodbye
If your heart don't have the heart to say
To say goodbye
He would tell her tomorrow, before he turned into a coward and hide the truth. He knew he would have to tell her, as soon as possible. However, despite of that thought, Matt couldn't help but press Sora against him, when the thought of her hating him appeares on his mind. Yes, he knew Sora would hate him, despite of the love she could have for him. He knew all the love she had for him, would be lost on the same second she found out Jun was pregnant and that he was going to be the father of the child. He knew, and that was why he wanted to take profit that night. He wanted to show her how much he loved her during that dinner, because he knew it would be the last opportunity he had.
When the song
endded, Matt stepped back and, without any warning, he kissed Sora
right on her lips. The kiss hold all the passion and love Matt could
put on it, and he hoped Sora could feel it. With a soft moan, Sora
started kissing him back and, after a few seconds, she stepped back:
"Wow..."
she whispered "Not that I'm complaining but, why did you do
that?"
Matt smiled:
"Because I
wanted to show you, how much I love you and how important you're for
me."
Sora blushed:
"I love you, too." she replied, before kissing him again.
'Yes, this will be the last night together.' Matt thought, while trying to memorize the soft touch of Sora's lips against his.
