Life in Death

Chapter 4

"Trinity?" I hear his voice. It sounds so wonderful.

"Neo" is all I can get out at the moment in a whisper that is barely heard. Finally I am looking into those eyes again filled with so much love. Before I could register what was happening I felt his lips on mine. Very gentle, but filled with passion. I know this is where I belong. All the love, fear, and hope is passing between us and I feel complete again. Then I remember our daughter and I know I must break away from the kiss. Reluctantly I pull away from him but our faces are still close. He looks at me questioningly, and I look up at him with all the love I am feeling reflected in my eyes.

"Neo there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it Trin?" He sounds worried hearing the serious tone in my voice.

"Don't worry it's something good." I reassured him. "Do you remember that night in Zion when we made love in the cave?"

"How could I forget?"

A small smile crept upon my face as I continued, "Well it seems as though we made something else that night too. Neo we're having a baby girl."

A huge grin spread across Neo's face, and he pulled me into his arms lifting me onto the bed with him. Then he shifted so that his head was next to my stomach, and proceeded to talk to our daughter.

"Hi precious, this is your daddy. We're going to love you so much, I'm so happy you're here." He started to massage my stomach gently, he looked so damn cute. I couldn't help myself I leaned down and captured his lips again. Now "life" or "death" whatever it is was perfect.

9 months later

Keona Bree Anderson was born 9 months later. The birth was quick only three hours, and we were filled with Joy to finally meet our daughter. Her name was tough to decide but Neo had liked Keona, and after hearing it's meaning it seemed perfect to me too. Keona means, "God's gracious gift." Which she is, and Bree which I suggested means "strong one". I am holding her in my arms right now, wrapped up in the soft hospital blankets with a tiny hat covering her wisps of dark brown hair.

She is so small. It is amazing how connected you feel to this person meeting them only hours ago. I love her so much. Neo loves her so much. He fingers are wrapped tightly around Neo's pinky, and I was sure that this is what life was all about.

A/N So theres chapter 4….what do ya think? I will have the next posted soon, sorry this one was pretty short again!
