(A/N) For you that are confused with the situation, the machines in machine city have revived both of them and plugged them into the Matrix. They cannot contact Morpheus since (am i correct?) the Neb was damaged so much so that Morpheus is unable to receive the phone call, enabling them to contact him. Also, this chapter should be a slight start to Neo's following depression that he is stuck in the Matrix with no where to go but reminds himself that he has Trinity. Hopefully in this chapter, we will find out more of Trinity's ''mystery'' illness aswell. Does that make things clearer? I hope it does. Please enjoy and review...thanks so much to:

LoneStranger, Sydney Andrews, DesertFlowerSimion, Stardust03, Issay, Solia, Rhiannon Reeves, Egyptian Princess of 1290 bc and Agent Smith811.

Please keep reading and reviewing!

Chapter 4: Mystery Illness Revealed

After their bed antics, Neo and Trinity fell silently asleep, the buzzing of the distant cars outside were heard, but apart from that there was silence.

The alarm clock next to Neo's bed read 6.02am. Instinctively, he awoke to hear someone retching in the toilet, obviously Trinity, unless someone broke in during the night. He allowed his body to get used to the cold and walked over to the bathroom, stretching as he went. In the bathroom he found Trinity bent over the toilet and throwing up. He moved towards her and knelt down so he was her height. He rubbed her back as to sooth her, and she lifted her head up when she felt his touch against her back.

''Can you get something for me? without freaking out about it?'' Trinity asked, through gasps of needed oxygen.

''Err...sure. What do you want?'' Curisoty was looming out of his head for what Trinity was about to ask him to get for her. He awaited his next set of instructions.

''You see the draw...next to the mirror on the far left? Open it''

Neo walked over to the draw and opened it as Trinity instructed him to do so. The draw was pretty bare, apart from a packet which he saw in the corner of his eye. He picked it up with hand and showed it to Trinity.

''That's it, place it down here'' She nodded to the floor where her feet were. Neo nodded back and turned towards the door but raised an eyebrow.

''Want me to leave?'' He asked, still not knowing the bags contents which he had placed on the floor only seconds ago.

''Yes please'' Trinity muttered and continued spluttering out the rest of the sick that was present in here.

Her face was as pale as a white sheet when she entered the front room. She avoided Neo's gaze and looked into the outside window which she had only done yesterday.

''I've been thinking a lot since yesterday. The whole business of being stuck in the matrix, it's a terrifying thought don't you think? Never to see Morpheus, Niobe, Lock, which in some ways is good, but our friends...your friends that you've known for years upon end. How are we going to cope?''

Trinity sat on the window ledge, still avoiding eye contact.

''You're The One. You can cope with anything'' Trinity bluntly muttered, under her breath but to her disappointment, a little too loudly.

''That's not true, and you know it. I didn't cope when you were shot in the chest by an Agent. I showed that to you when i brought you back. I couldn't cope so i brought you to live again. And for the second time when you were killed in Machine City, i only coped because you told me to. You told me that i can go without you. So i did and won the war. Now, we're stuck in here'' Neo was referring to the Matrix.

Trinity hesitated to reply and ignored his statement. He knew what he had told her was correct, but was afraid to admit it. If only she was as strong as she was then perhaps she could tell him the real reason for her ''illness''. She slumped herself off the window sill and without warning, tears tricked down her cheeks. She wiped them away quickly, not wanting to be humiliated in front of Neo since she was not an emotion sort of person.

He got off the sofa he was sat at and placed his strong yet clumsy hands on her shoulders. This time she didn't resist eye contact and looked into his eyes, dreamily.

''Somethings the matter Trin. What was that utensil which you seemed to off used in the bathroom?''

Trinity felt like she was going to break. She knew she was going to get a bad reaction...she didn't know it for sure but wasn't willing to take any risks. She broke down, falling on the floor as she went, hands on her head, eye sight affixed to the floor.

He bent down, lifting her to stand up, wrapping his arm around her waist to support her. She placed her face in his chest, silent tears being whipped across his jumper.

He lifted her head away from his jumper and whipped the rest of the tears away with his free hand.

''What's the matter Trin? You can tell me anything, you know I'm always here''

''But I'm worried what i will tell you will make you regret that sentence'' She replied, a little less upset than what she seemed before. She carried on anyway, now willing to take the risk...

''What you picked out of the draw...it was a pregnancy test. It is very difficult to become pregnant, being unplugged and such, but it seems that it wasn't that difficult for me to conceive, since...i am pregnant Neo. You're going to become a father...

TBC...perhaps.
