Chapter 15

"Welcome home!" Came shouts inside as soon as I entered.

I was utterly stunned. There before me were: Arthur, Steven, Beth, Piers and Matt's mum and dad.

Matt was smiling broadly, my bag discarded by the door.

"Matthew." I said, beckoning him over.

"Yes love?" Matt replied, acting innocent.

"Is this why you were so long outside my room?" I asked.

"Maybe," he said with a wink.

I hit his shoulder, playfully and smiled at him. I looked around at all of the smiling faces, when it hit me. There were two people missing. My mum and dad.

"Couldn't my mum and dad make it?" I asked Matt, sadly.

"Um," he looked at the floor "they said they were busy…I'm sorry."

"It's okay, don't worry. I'm just going to focus on getting through this pregnancy, and keeping all of my friends close." I was lying, I was upset and angry, I'm their daughter for god's sake, their ONLY child. What was so important that they couldn't come to see me? I was close to tears, when Matt pulled me into a hug.

"hey, listen all that matters is that you're okay, I don't know what I would do if you hadn't made it Karen." he whispered into my ear, the sweetness of his voice and words were too much to handle, I broke down in tears.

He kissed my forehead and pulled me in close to him, his scent filling my nostrils.

The next morning I woke to a familiar scent of Nutella wafting around the room. I reached for my phone and saw nothing. No calls. No texts. Nothing. My mind briefly wandered back to the night before; a no show from my parents, all of the smiling faces around me, tears shed, the first kicks from our baby and the sight of Matt's face lighting up at them. I smiled at the memories. I wandered out into the living room, walking is becoming difficult as I am now about 24 weeks along. My back and legs are causing me some pain.

'Oh, morning love.' Matt said as he caught sight of me in the living room.

'Morning.' I replied, giving him a quick peck on the lips.

He handed me some Nutella on toast and I smiled at him, he smiled back.

This has to work, nothing else can happen can it?

Then the phone rang. Matt got up to answer it.

'hello?'

'how dare you ring now?!' Matt more or less shouted.

'Matt who is it? Why are you shouting?' I asked. He shot me a look and I knew instantly, his eyes were full of anger and disappointment.

'Maybe she doesn't want to see you.'

'Yes I will see if she wants to, I doubt it though.' with that Matt handed me the phone.

'Hello?'

'Karen! I'm so happy to hear your voice!' I heard my mum say.

'What do you want?' I asked her, anger bubbling inside of me.

'Um, I want to-we want to see you.'

'Why now? Why not yesterday? Or the day before when I needed you most?!' I shouted.

'I'm so sorry, love. I wanted to but it would've taken days…'

'So rather than travelling for a few hours to see your ONLY daughter, you would rather just stay there and just hope for the best? I don't believe this! How could you..? You know what I don't want to know, you weren't supportive when you found out I was pregnant, why would you care now?-'

'I always care-'

'-No, save it I don't want to hear it. Bye.' I passed the phone to Matt, tears welling up in my eyes.

'See? You've upset her so much, this isn't right. I am truly disappointed with you. If you cared enough to actually travel here, you would know that we have lost a baby-' I saw tears in his eyes but he kept blinking them back.

'What? You've lost one? I'm sor-'

'-Save it, we don't want to hear it, we are going to get through this pregnancy with or without you, because unlike you, I actually want to be with your daughter 24/7 and keep it that way.' He hung up then.

'Matt come here.' I said and opened my arms to him. He reached me and instead of getting into my arms, he sat beside me and pulled me into him.

'I should be the one comforting you, love.' he said, kissing my forehead.

A/N; so what did you guys think? it's not my best work but it was what I could manage!
Again no hate to Karen's mum, she is lovely in real-life! :) please review! Seeing them keep me writing+smiling :D
