hello everyone! I'm so so so so sorry it's been ages since the last chapter! I've been so busy, with school and personal problems that I haven't had time to write! I hope you like this chapter, yet again no hate against any of the people I use in this! :)

Chapter 16

My due date is the 28th, Matt's birthday. That date is only a mere two weeks away.

A few days ago, Daisy rang Matt and asked him out to dinner so they could 'talk', to which Matt politely declined saying:

'Sorry Daisy, I know where this is going. You tell me you want to 'talk' when really you're just trying to take me away from Karen, well I'm sorry but that is never going to happen. I love Karen, always have, always will. No amount of pleading from you will change that.'

I overheard everything he was saying, and quite honestly hearing him say that to Daisy, made me feel like this was going to work after all.

We sat down for dinner, we had just started eating when there was a knock on our door.

'I'll get it, don't move Kaz.' Matt said as he rose from his chair. I watched him curiously as he opened the door, behind that door was someone I never expected to see.

Patrick.

'Patrick. What brings you here?' Matt asked, not letting him in.

'Could I at least come in?' Patrick replied

'Kaz is it alright if he does?' fear present on his features. I didn't know why he looked like that, and then it dawned on me: he doesn't know I'm pregnant. I'm huge! He's obviously going to see it if I stand up.

'Yeah sure.' I said, smiling at Matt, a knowing look in his eyes.

Patrick made his way into our flat, sitting down on a chair, opposite where I was seated, table cloth hiding my stomach. Matt sat back on the chair next to me.

'So Patrick, what brings you here?' I asked.

'Erm-well I uh- just wanted to see you Kaz-Karen.' he replied, looking sheepishly at Matt. Matt just glared at him.

Why does he have to do this now, of all times?

'Why did you want to see me?' I asked, knowing full well what was coming next.

'Can we talk in private?' he said, glaring back at Matt, who held his hands up and rose from the table, kissing my forehead, and going into the kitchen.

'Right. Speak.' I said, angry at making Matt leave.

'Karen, I'm going to be blunt, I want you. I want you back, I still love you.' I looked at him, shocked.

'I'm pretty sure you won't want me now.' I replied, referring to my stomach that was holding my child.

'How do you know what I want? Who I want? Karen you don't make those decisions for me. I do.'

'Look Patrick, we broke up for a reason. It was clear you didn't love me, you cheated on me for Christ's sake! What makes you think I want you back?' I could hear Matt swearing from the kitchen, obviously over-hearing what was happening.

'You know that was a mistake! I've learned from my mistakes, I want you back.' This had to be a joke, why would he come to me now, years after our break-up? I was still seated and hiding my stomach, he didn't seem to notice anything, typical Patrick.

'So you've said. 'It was a mistake' 'it didn't mean anything' 'I love you' when now I know you were a complete liar.' I was so angry, I seriously considered standing up and yelling 'I'm pregnant with Matt bloody Smith's baby!' from the top of my lungs, I didn't but I felt pretty close to doing so. I had my face in my hands, leaning on the table.

'Karen, please. You have to believe me, I was telling the truth! I was drunk, I regret it so much! Unexpected things always happen when you're drunk.' That last bit caught me off guard. Did he know? If he did he wasn't showing any sign of it…

'Right that's it!' Matt yelled, walking in from the kitchen.

'I thought I told you to give us some privacy, I'm trying to get Karen back, can't you see that?' Patrick yelled and glared at Matt, yet again.

Oh great, this is just what I need! Well here goes nothing.

'Shut up the both of you and sit down!' I yelled over the both of them.

They both looked at me, but did as I said.

I started to rise from the table, Matt's face full of fear. I ignored his protests and came up to standing, Patrick's mouth flew open at the sight of my bump.

'Kare-Karen wh-what?!' Patrick shouted in shock.

'I'm pregnant and I'm due in a couple of weeks. The father might you ask? It's Matt, we're together and plan to be for the long run.'

Patrick was speechless, Matt just sat there in horror of what I'd just done.

'Well? Still want me back now you know I'm pregnant?' I said, folding my arms across my chest, still standing.

Patrick's mouth kept opening and closing, like a bewildered goldfish.

Finally, he said;

'Yes.'

It was my turn to look shocked. I hadn't expected him to say that, I expected him to look at me and say no and then leave, he did the complete opposite.

'What?' I said.

'You herd me, I still want you.'

'Well you can't have her, or our baby.' Matt said, now standing as well. A scowl present on his face. At this, Patrick took a stand as well, walking over to Matt. Patrick obviously underestimated Matt, as Patrick was now looking up at Matt, who was towering above him.

'Just stop it! Both of you!' I yelled, the two men looking at me.

'Stop fighting over me! Patrick, just accept the fact that I'm with Matt, I'm not going to leave him for you, ever.' I finished and tried to stomp away, failing because of the strain on my back, because of my struggle I made sure to slam the bedroom door, and slam it hard.

'I think you better be leaving now.' Matt stated, holding the door open, arm outstretched pointing the way.'

Patrick said nothing, just stomped out of the flat.
