Lies Revealed

A/N- Thanks to all you avid readers. As always enjoy and let me know what you think!

She could feel the tears falling, slowly running down her face and dripping onto her shirt. Dani had told him everything, and he in turn had told her. She could feel herself shaking; Junior had wanted a baby more than anything. Her heart felt like it was breaking apart and she wondered if the pain would ever stop. She could feel her fingers playing with the tiny baby rattle, slowly turning it over and over. She looked at Matt and she could tell that it was killing him to tell her this.

The sound of his phone, shrilly ringing, cut through the silence that had ensued. He looked at the caller ID and then suddenly turned the phone off. She looked at him questioningly, wondering why he wouldn't answer his phone. Looking away, he seemed to be avoiding her gaze. Turning and looking into her eyes, he spoke again.

"Kris..." he sighed "there is something else."

He seemed to hesitate, and then closing his eyes he turned away from her. She sat up and placed her hand on his shoulder, and she saw him slowly drop his head into his hands.

"Kris...Junior was lying to you."

She felt her hand jerk off of his shoulder and a shiver ran up her spine. She looked at him questioningly, angrily.

"Matt, I thought we had gotten past this."

He seemed to look confused, but only for a moment. She could feel herself moving away from him, could see the hurt in his eyes. Matt had Dani, there was no way this was happening, this couldn't be happening. She could feel her breathing become shallow as she became angrier and angrier.

"I never thought you would be one to take advantage of a situation. Matt, honestly, that is really low. Junior would never do anything to hurt me, we loved each other."

His mouth was agape and he looked incredulous, he quickly stood up slowly shaking his head. She could tell he was hurt, but she could also tell he was getting angry, and then he started to yell.

"Whether you want to hear it or not it's the truth! Junior wasn't on a plane to deal with the wind-turbine, Kris. He lied to you about it. Do you want to know where he was really headed?"

She could feel herself rising to her feet, walking towards him. The next thing she knew her palm was raising and she slapped him across the face.

She could feel her mouth agape, stepping back from him. "Matt" she whispered.

He stepped back and away from her, as he headed for the door. He turned and looked at her for a moment, and shaking his head he walked out.

She sat on the bed staring at the wall. They had all been through so much, but she found it hard to believe that Junior would lie to her. Picking up her phone she tried to call Matt, but then realized he had turned his phone off. She hadn't heard him leave the house, so getting up she walked around trying to find him.

She found him on the back porch, sitting on the porch swing staring off into space. He looked at her as she walked up and sat beside him. He turned away from her and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Matt…" she mumbled "I am so so sorry. I just I couldn't control myself. It happened before I even realized what was going on."

He quietly nodded before turning to look at her. "Kris, I would never lie to you. I promise I am not making this up. Just hear me out; if you don't believe me Dani can confirm it for you."

She nodded her head, and patiently waited for him to continue.

"Kris, Junior was not on that plane to deal with wind-turbine business. Kris Junior got on that plane fully knowing what he was walking into."

She had never felt more confused, "Matt what are you trying to say? Are you telling me that Junior knew the plane was going to go down?"

She could feel tears brimming on her eyelids, and it felt difficult to breathe. She needed answers and she looked questioningly at Matt. She could see matt clenching his eyes tight, as he looked into the distance.

"He didn't know that the plane was going to go down, that Dani is sure of and so am I. Kris he loved you more than anything, and he wouldn't do that to you. He could barely stand to be away from you as it is, he was talking about kids. He had no idea that it was coming, and it is probably not related. His plane crashed on the way home not on the way there."

"Matt," she replied "you better tell me what is going on right now!"

"Kris, Junior knew that he was walking into a dangerous situation."

He took a deep breath and then the words tumbled off his lips.

"Kris, Junior was being blackmailed."

"What could someone possibly blackmail Junior with?"

He looked at her then, and she noticed that his eyes seemed to dim.

"You Kris, they were threatening you."
