Life in Death
Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I don't own any characters or anything from the Matrix, this is just my attempt to write about them….
Soon I came out of my thoughts of Neo and the baby to realize something. It didn't feel the same as when I was dying. The baby was there, "alive". I could feel it. I couldn't believe it, so I got up off of the soft bed I had awakened to in search of someone with answers. I didn't even know where I was…was this heaven? Can I see Neo again, and most importantly is our baby still growing?
I opened the door of the room I was in to find a woman who looked to be in about her mid forties standing next to my door. She spoke to me, "Hello Trinity I'm glad to see that you are with us now. My name is Juliana, and I will be taking care of you until you get used to things."
"Ok Juliana nice to meet you." I stuck out my hand and shook hers. It was soft and firm. She seemed very nice so I decided to ask her my question. But she spoke again before I got the chance.
"You have some questions for me don't you? I can see it in your eyes, you are worried about something. Go ahead dear."
"Well first I was wondering where I am exactly?"
"Hmm I suppose you could say you are in another world. It's hard to say. I don't even know exactly where we are. This place is called the afterlife. The place your soul and mind go after you have died on earth. Now why don't you ask me what you really want to know."
"Alright"
"Don't be scared, I'm here to help"
"I know it's just….If I was carrying a child when I died, if it died too where does it go?"
"It is right with you now. Make sure you eat right honey. That baby's going to need lots of love and nourishment."
"Really it's here!"
"yes! Would you like to see it?"
"Yea"
I was filled with the most hope, and joy possible in that moment. Our baby was still going to be born, still going to experience life in one way or another. I still felt the pain of missing Neo, and knowing our baby will be growing up without its father though. Juliana came into my room and told me to lay down on my bed. I was only a few weeks pregnant at most, but I lifted up my shirt to reveal my stomach and Juliana waved her hand over it making it clear. I could see this tiny spec of glowing light, glowing with life.
"Would you like to know if it's a boy or a girl?" she asked.
I really didn't know what to say. I didn't want to find out with out Neo, but I felt in my heart that I already knew anyways, so I said, "yes".
"It's a girl" Juliana said. Somehow I knew she was going to say this. We are going to have a little girl. I knew my life would be completely different, but this tiny child was a part of me, and most importantly a part of Neo, and a product of our love. I finally decided to ask Juliana my last question, "Can we look in on the 'living'?"
"Yes of course, all you have to do is look out your window, say the name of the person you wish to see, and look to the sky. I have to go check on some things now, so I'll leave you alone. If you need anything at all just let me know, you will be moving into your new home in a few days."
"Thank you Juliana" I said
"Get some rest Trinity."
I stood up, walked over to the window and whispered the name of the one I love, "Neo". I looked into the sky only to see agent Smith taking over his body.
"Neo!" I screamed feeling helpless here. That is one thing I hate, feeling helpless, being helpless. Neo was in pain, he was dying. I wanted to stop watching, but he needed me with him. I continued to watch as all of the agents seemed to blow up. I was filled with so many emotions as tears filled my eyes. I didn't know what to do, but then the thought entered my head, If he died he must be here.
A/N- there ya go chapter 2….the next one will be up soon…..
