CHAPTER 44
"Hey." Amy greeted Beth who was standing on her front step glowing. "What brings you by?"
"I have some big news." Beth squealed and her excitedness rubbed off onto Amy. "I'm pregnant!!"
"Oh my god!" Amy squealed as both girls jumped up and down. "You and Jeff? Baby? Oh my god!!!!"
"You're going to be an aunt!!!" Beth squealed once again as both girls smiled excitedly.
"Oh god Beth congratulations!" Amy hugged her tightly. "I'm so happy for you two." Amy sniffled back tears of joy as she laughed it off. "That's made my day, hell it's made my year." Amy smiled.
"Yeah but that's not the only thing. I wanted to ask you something too."
"Shoot."
"I want you to come on this trip with Jeff and I. Matt's coming to-"
"No." Amy said quickly.
"Just listen-"
"No." Amy repeated. "Sorry."
"Just listen!" Beth said shushing Amy. "The purpose for this trip is for Jeff and Matt to reconcile. Finding out that I was pregnant made me want for our baby to have their uncle in their life. I want their aunt to be in their life too."
"I'll be in the baby's life..." Amy said honestly.
"Yeah but I want for all of us to get along. I don't want things to be weird on birthdays and stuff." Beth began to tear up.
"Mood swings already?" Amy giggled. "Aww man."
"Be quiet!" Beth sniffled. "Please. It'll be just a fun, relaxed trip with mommy and daddy and unccy and auntie." Beth smiled. "Please?"
"I don't know...where we going?" Amy chuckled.
"I don't know yet."
"Hmm..." Amy thought. "How about Hawaii?"
"Are you insane? I don't have money for Hawaii. Not with this baby on the way-"
"What about an all paid expenses trip to Hawaii?" Amy asked.
"What?"
"Joey and I were supposed to leave for Hawaii tomorrow. He got called into work and said to go and bring friends. Wanna go?"
"You're serious?"
"Absolutely."
"Then hell yeah!" Beth squealed as Amy smiled happily.
Hawaii without Joey won't be so bad afterall...I mean, I got Beth, Jeff...and now Matt.
"Hey-" She took in a deep breath when she saw who it was. "Hey." She smiled.
"Hey." He smiled back. "You sure you want me to come? You're cool with that?"
"Totally. I just want to get away and relax."
"Same." He paused as he looked at her. "Well," He shook his head, "I'll get these to the car, anything else?"
"Nope." Amy replied as she grabbed her purse and carry on bag and locked the door.
Arriving at the airport, Matt and Amy walked in all smiles excitement getting the best of them. Seeing Beth and Jeff, Amy ran over as both girls twirled around in a tight hug.
"I'm so excited! Hawaii here we come!" Amy gushed happily as Matt slowly joined the group nodding towards Jeff.
A grin formed on Jeff's face, as an unspoken understanding formed as both brothers hugged each other.
"Congrats man." Matt patted Jeff on the back before pulling away. "I'm so happy for you two."
"Thanks. That means a lot."
"Aww, that's so cute." Both girls replied happily. "Alright, let's go." Both girls linked arms as both brothers carried their carry-ons and headed towards their boarding plane.
Settling into first class, Matt took the window, both girls in the middle and Jeff on the isle. The girls continued to talk at 100 miles an hour while Jeff listened to his discman and Matt stared out the window as they took off.
"I gotta go to the bathroom." Beth excused herself leaving Amy to sit there by herself.
She looked beside her over to Matt who caught her looking at him.
"You excited?" Amy asked fidgeting in her seat. Matt chuckled at her anxiousness.
"Can't wait." He smiled. "I want you to know that I'm not here to cause any trouble. Anymore." He laughed. "Just take in the sun, do a little surfing with Jeff-"
"And dinner with me." She finished with a hopeful look on her face.
"Hmm?"
"Jeff and Beth are going to have a romantic dinner date thingy tonight and I won't let them settle for anything less. That leaves you and me." She nodded her head cheerfully. To say she was in a good mood would be an understatement.
"Can't wait..."
Beth returned as Amy and her resumed to talking 100 miles an hour about tanning, shopping and site-seeing.
Matt relaxed in his seat as the thought of having dinner with Amy prospered in his mind. Just her and me...me and her...all alone...on this romantic island...
A couple hours later the plane touched down on the waking island of Maui, Hawaii.
Stepping off the plane, the four of them were greeted by two Hawaiian ladies who placed the welcoming lei's around their necks. Grabbing there stuff, a limo awaited them to take them to the Momi Kai Hale Estate in West Maui in Lahaina where they would be staying for the next two days.
--Momi Kai Hale Estate--
Stepping out of the limo, everyone was all smiles as they looked at the gorgeous vacation villa they got to call home for the next two days. It was on a sandy white beach encircled with reef. It also had it's own private pool and indoor spa. And the high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows made the ocean visible in every room you entered.
"This place is gorgeous Amy!" Beth said in amazement as they walked through the 3 bedroom, 3.5 bathroom house. Settling down into their rooms and finishing unpacking, the girls were quick to set off towards the beach in their bikinis.
"This place is amazing." Amy gushed as their toes smashed through the soft white sand and they enjoyed the private beach to themselves. "I can't believe this place. It's so romantic here." She sighed. "You and Jeff are going to have one hell of a time."
"Aww sweetie come here." Beth said sensing the sadness in the other girl's voice. "I know you were looking forward to spending time with Joey and all, but face it, you're here in this breath-taking place with people you love and are here to be with you. Enjoy it. You can spend time with Matt...see where things and go and see what feelings still live between you two." Beth said softly. "I know you're with Joey, but when you look at the facts of who's here and who's not..." Beth trailed off. "Just, forget about Joey for the time being and sort through whatever you have to with Matt. You may never get another chance like this again."
"Oh wise fat lady." Amy grinned sarcastically.
"I'm not fat yet." Beth reminded. "I'm still hot as hell." She fanned herself as both laid down on the lounge chairs and applied tanning oils to their perfect figures.-------------Matt and Jeff sat out on the balcony as they looked out onto the two girls laying on the beach.
"So what's up?" Jeff asked squinting as he pulled on his sunglasses.
"Nothing really. You?"
"I still can't believe in 9 months I'm going to be a dad." Jeff said in shock.
"How far along is she?"
"3 weeks I think."
"Wow."
"I know." He smiled. "Never thought I'd be dad yet. Scary huh?"
"Yeah." Matt chuckled.
"I hate to ask but-"
"Nothing happened." Matt replied knowing where he was going with this.
"Did you want something to happen?"
"Yeah. But...I dunno."
"How does she feel about all of this?"
"I don't know. I mean, she has boyfriend, how's she supposed to feel?"
"Just, forget about Joey for the time being and sort through whatever you have to with Amy. You may never get another chance like this again." Jeff said.
"You think?"
"I know." Jeff tapped his temple. "This way, you can finally get some closure on whatever issues you guys have and move on."
Matt took in a deep breath as he sighed loudly. "I hope it's that easy." He replied as he stared out over towards the beach where her glossy, thin body lay in the sun.
