Chapter 20

Author's Note: I honestly don't know why, but lately I've been gagging on all my smutty scenes, lol. I wrote all these because I wanted to make up for all that I thought was lost in Reloaded, and I guessed that served its purpose.
But soon, they'll be out with the Neb once again, and other things will starts taking their toll... but for those of you who actually love the smut- don't worry; I'm not abandoning it (like I thought they did to some degree in the movies) but other things start to play major roles in the story... some things you've already gotten a preview on.

And because of all this; I post two chapters in one update this time!

Trinity smiled as she felt Neo snuggle closer to her body, embracing his naked warmth of flesh with hers, both enjoying the sensation of being joined together rush through their bodies. Trinity wondered how she ever could have lived without this, had she really been living at all?

Neo had woken her up, that was for sure. He had shown her so many things, so many things for her to always remember and their memories together was something that she would take with her beyond the grave, and they both knew it.

" That feels good..." she commented as he gently stroked her stomach, tracing his fingers along a random pattern, strong hand and fingers touching silk skin. He smiled at making her feel this small pleasure, any pleasure to her was pleasure to him.

He thought about things for another moment, knowing all the time that Trinity was still awake, not wanting to fall asleep just yet, just enjoying the silence in between them, being content with life in the very moment, content with living, content with just being alone without any worries... even if it only was for a while.

" Trinity...?" He embraced her tightly, drawing her closer, protecting her even when they were completely safe. She murmured her response, having her eyes half opened as she played with his hands in front of her face, entwining, dropping and caressing them, sometimes bringing them to her mouth for a light kiss on the hands that always worked their magic on her.

" What is it Neo?" She asked quietly, sighing her contentment out into their world.

" When all this is over... the war and everything I mean. Would you want to start a... family then?"

Trinity felt herself drop his hands, stunned at his question.

She looked out into their room, hearing the question of his, that unspoken but not un-thought question ringing in her head, as her mind began painting images of herself with a large, large stomach, and Neo standing behind her as she faced the mirror, both laughing and smiling, commenting on how big she was.

She then saw images of her, Neo and their child running around on an open grass field, playing, enjoying the sun's warmth. She and Neo wore casual clothes, ones she had perhaps been able to wear inside the Matrix, and their child bounced around them, a little ball of energy.

Trinity felt herself smiling as Neo turned her around so that he could face her, and he caught her smile. He smiled back, feeling that warmth inside of him whenever he was with Trinity increase, and his heart pounding with happiness in his ears. He was surprised by the feeling that also came rushing over him, the feeling of the realness of adulthood, and the realness of parenthood, as well.

He hadn't really thought about himself much as a father before, lacking inspiration, but now he could see himself holding their baby in his arms, smiling, laughing, and Trinity smiling back, proud to the limit of bursting. And he was so proud, too, proud of his beautiful Trinity that was now the mother of his child and proud over the life that they had created together, their ever living proof and testament of their profound love for each other.

" You'd make a great dad, " Trinity told him then, still smiling. Neo kissed her gently on the lips, not closing his eyes whilst doing so.

" I was being serious, " he told her, stroking the hair from her face. She looked back at him, deep into those hazels of love.

" So was I..."

Neo leaned down and kissed her throat and could hear her sigh her pleasure out from beneath him, and he smiled as he continued his tease. He traced her throat up to catch her lips again, and after a draining kiss he let her go again, looking down at her drowsy eyes, shining with such love that he was filled with pride. He could not let the topic go, however.

" So you think it would work? You, me... and a child? Perhaps many, even?" Trinity leaned her head back and laughed, and how good it felt. She almost never let herself laugh this way, but in front of Neo she did never need to hide anything, and being this honest with everything in front of him was a feeling she had gotten used to, but cherished every time she was lucky enough to experience it.

" Let's not get ahead of ourselves, daddy dearest. But yes, as an answer, starting a family with you is something I would want..." and he locked his gaze with hers, and she felt herself drifting into them, being taken away from consciousness and instead into them " ...very much. You know what, Mr. Neo?"

Neo shook his head ever so slightly, just enough for her to actually see it.

" I love you..." And with that, she closed the distance between them, hungry for the feel and taste of him, and he was happy to oblige. As they broke apart he smiled sheepishly, but adoringly, at her, cupping her face with her hand in his position slightly on top of her.

" What about we start working on those plans, now then?" And all she could do was smile as she let herself becoming a prisoner of his love, enjoying every moment of it... as much as he did.
