"Whoa!" Matt unwrapped Slider's present to reveal a type of lightsaber, "Now this, is definatly not a toy!"
"Actually, it's a lightsaber." Slider answered, "It might come in handy sooner or later. Also, I knew what your favourite movie was so, I made a lightsaber for you."
"Thanks!" Matt said, "Okay, Inez, do you wanna go next?"
"Matt," Inez said, holding onto a bundle in her arms, "Why don't Jackie go next?"
"Uh, okay." Matt answered, "What do you have, Jacs?"
"Who, me?" Jackie said, "Well, it's pretty big..."
"Spill it, Jacs." Slider said.
"Oh, fine!" Jackie cried, "Here." Jackie pulled out a large box, "I think Obi would be happy."
The box shifted, and out popped a female golden labrador.
Obi quickly noticed. The two labradors nuzzled each other.
"Oh, they're so cute!" Jackie squealed.
"Finally," Matt said, "Obi found a soulmate. Okay, you're next, Nezzie."
"Uh, okay." Inez answered, looking down at the bundle.
"I wonder what's wrong with Inez?" Slider whispered.
"She didn't even mind when I called her Nezzie." Matt mumbled, "Is something wrong?"
"You've also been gaining weight lately." Jackie said, "And now, you're back to normal. What's up?"
"Um, you'll find out..." Inez answered, then handed the bundle to Matt, "Happy birthday. I hope you like the present."
Matt unwrapped the bundle a bit, to see a face...a baby's face. No, she didn't! She wouldn't! Did she?
"Inez..." Matt said, "This is a baby."
Jackie gasped. "So that explains it!"
"My mother told me that I had to have a baby, so I took a pill and I ended up with a girl." Inez mumbled, "I never really wanted a baby, so, I decided to give her to Matt."
"But," Matt said, "It needs a mother, not a father."
"I think a father's more suitable." Inez grumbled.
"Sure, but," Matt smiled, "It also needs a mother."
Inez looked up. "Pardon?"
"Great party, Matt!" Slider commented before he went through a portal to Cyberspace, "See ya later!"
"See ya!" Matt answered. Jackie had all ready left, but he asked Inez to stay behind.
"What did you want to tell me?" Inez asked.
Matt heaved a big breath. You can do this, Matt! Just give it your best shot! I mean, she already gave you her daughter! Her two day old daughter! The next thing the baby needs is a mother!
Matt pulled out a velvet box and handed it to Inez. "I know your birthday isn't until several months but, here."
Inez opened the box to see...
"Matt..." Inez whispered, "This is a diamond ring. How much did it cost?"
"Most of my allowence." Matt answered, "Actually, all of it."
"Are you trying to say..." Inez began.
"Yeah." Matt answered, taking Inez's hand and kneeling on one knee, "Inez, will you marry me?"
A smile stretched across Inez's face. Then, she squealed in happiness, and jumped on Matt.
"Is that a yes?" Matt asked, helping Inez up.
"Y-yes..." Inez stuttered.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you." Matt said.
"Yes..." Inez said a bit louder.
"Yes?" Matt asked.
"Yes!" Inez answered, and hugged Matt tightly.
How was that for a surprise? Well, you can see what happens in the next chapter, Chapter Nine: I Hope You Dance. Sorry, no sneak peeks! Well, until later, see ya! ;-)
