Chapter Nine

Matt and Anya were sat on Matt's bed, Matt had asked Anya whether she wanted to meet up with Tai and Sora, and well she had agreed, but then Matt remembered that Anya had come over to tell him something, they were sat in his room, in dead silence.

"Anya, your scaring me, you said there was something that you needed to tell me, and unless you tell me I can't help you, so please tell me."

Anya started to cry, Matt put his arm around her and pulled her into an intimate hug, something he knew would make her feel better, seeing as she had told him this before.

"Anya please, whats the matter?"

Matt looked Anya in the eyes, they were puffy, her mascara had run, she looked like she had been crying black tears, her eyes were puffy and red, an image of her that Matt had never seen her like before.

"Anya!"

"Matt…"

Anya began to speak trying to muster up the strength to tell him, she knew that she had to, this was something that she couldn't keep secret.

"Matt, I…I am soo sorry, I…I don't know what happened?"

Matt looked at Anya, what did she mean she was sorry, as far as he knew, she hadn't done anything wrong, but what if she had been lying to him, he knew that he had been lying to her, maybe there was something that she was keeping from him.

"Anya, what do you mean your sorry, what have you done?"

"I thought we were safe, In fact I knew that we were I don't know how this could have happened."

Matt was still clueless.

"Anya I have no idea what you are saying, what do you mean?"

Anya looked deep into Matt's eyes seeing that he was truly concerned.

"Matt, I'm pregnant."

Matt was in shock, how did this happen?

"Are you sure?"

Anya looked at him.

"As sure as a 99.9 pregnancy test can be, but I just don't know how this happened, we were always careful."

Matt sat on his bed still looking deep into Anya's eyes, he knew what he had to do.

"Anya, I want to tell you something, and I want you to know this you got me?"

Anya nodded.

"I will always be there for you, no matter what, if you chose to keep the baby, I will be there, or if you decide to get an abortion I will be there, its your body, your life, so its your choice and no matter what you decide, I will be there."

This moved Anya to tear once more. She knew that he would be there for her, but se also knew that she didn't have 100 of his heart, and she knew that she never would have.

"Matt, I know for a fact that I don't have 100 of your heart in the sense that one would think, and I have learnt to except that, but I can't bring a baby into that kind of relationship, it wouldn't be fair."

Matt looked at her, what was she trying to say?

"In other words Matt, I think we should call it quits, I know that there is someone else that has all of your heart."

"No wait Anya, she may have all of my heart but Anya things have changed, there is nothing there for her in my heart, not now, and never again, I love you and only you, and I want to be there for you, and stand by you whatever your choice."

Matt knew that he was lying to Anya again, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't let her go, not like this, it was strange to him, he didn't know whether or not he was beginning to forget his feelings for Sora, which he thought was strange considering that he was declaring his love for Sora a few hours ago, and now, he was feeling something stronger for Anya, Matt was so confused right now, hi head was hurting.

"Do you mean that, honestly? Your not just saying that, you honestly mean it?"

Matt looked at Anya and smiled.

"When have I ever said something that I haven't meant?"

"Matt, you have no idea hw long I have been waiting to hear that."

With that Anya jumped onto Matt and embraced him, she was so happy at this point in time, things in her mind were perfect, she had her man the man she loved, and she was having his baby.

"So Anya, have you any idea what you are going to do"

Matt pointed at her stomach, and smiled.

"What do you want to do, its your baby as well, believe it or not, you did help in the process."

Matt looked at her stomach and then looked at Anya lovingly.

"I have always liked the thought of being a young dad, and well, I am sure my parents wouldn't mind being young grandparents because, that way, they can do more athletic things."

"So I take it you would like to have a little you running around?"

Matt laughed.

"In other words yeah I would, but the final decision is up to you."

Anya looked at Matt.

"Matt, if we do this, I mean have the baby, you have to promise that even if things don't work out between us, you will still be there for the baby, you promise?"

"Of course I do, and anyway, who says things won't work out between us?"

Anya smiled whilst cradling her pregnant stomach.

"I was speaking hypothetically, obviously."

"Oh yeah obviously."

Matt and Anya started to laugh, they felt right at this point in time. Anya pulled Matt's arm from around her and placed it on her stomach.

"This is real Matt, and I couldn't be more happy at this point in my life, then I am now.

Matt looked at Anya.

"Being with you, here and now, is all I want, do you know why?"

Anya looked at Matt she was confused by his words.

"Why?"

Matt gazed lovingly into Anya's eyes.

"Because I love you."

Matt and Anya embraced each other and continued to sit on Matt's bed, just talking about things, about future plans, knowing that even though things felt so right in this point in time, he knew that there was someone out there waiting for him, who's heart he was about to break.
