hugefriendsfan00 - Hope this is your definition of soon... :)

Prof-the F.R.I.E.N.D.S fanatic - Holy Crap! 59! How-I don't-just-how? I'm afraid I'm going to need proof of that score. I'm at 20 right now and I am determined to beat your high score.

WHOviangirl0508 - Thanks, I hope you enjoy this chapter as well!

Guest - I do think Matthew had a thing for Courteney. You can tell in a few of their interviews that he liked her...I hope anyway.

alexr301 - This is far from the end! I'm glad you like it :)

cvlax14 - Thank you! I think you may love this one too!

Proceed to reading your slow death in wanting Matteney to be real..

2009

Courteney couldn't stop crying. Her and David just had a huge fight and he ran out. This fight was bigger than others and frankly she was unsure if he was going to return that night. She wasn't sure if this time she could recover the brokenness inside her. She needed someone to talk to. She needed a friend.

"Hello?"

It was the middle of the night when Matthews phone rang, waking him up along with Lizzy next to him.

He sat up in bed, swinging his legs over as he tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes.

"Who is it?" Lizzy rubbed Matthews back

"Matthew?" Courteney hiccuped as she wiped yet another tear away

"Court?" Matthew stood up and walked out onto the balcony for some privacy "What's wrong?" He asked, closing the door behind him

"I'm sorry to wake you. And Lizzy. I just needed someone to talk to-"

"Don't be. It's fine." He leaned over the railing as he watched the lights of Las Vegas shine.

It was silent for a while as Courteney tried to calm down.

Matthew could hear her sobbing on the other line and wasn't sure if he should go and be with her or just wait for the right time and she would tell him.

Courteney took a deep breath "I'm sorry..."

"Why are you sorry?"

"I'm getting you into this mess and I don't mean too." She managed to stop the crying for a brief moment.

Courteney walked into Coco's room to make sure she was still fast asleep.

"Do you think we'll make it?" She whispered after a hesitant pause

Matthew was taken off guard "Who will make it?"

Courteney closed Coco's door and went down the stairs to the kitchen where she would make warm milk to calm her down.

Matthew knew what she meant. This wasn't the first time he got called in the middle of the night and he was worried. For his friend.

"Court." He sighed knowing how late it was "It's you and David. It's meant to be." He told her with full confidence "You guys are soul mates and everyone knows it. It will work out because you believe it will work out. Whatever it is I'm sure you'll get through it because it's you guys. You just need to let him cool off and he'll be back."

Courteney let a soft smile slip by and she knew he was right "Thanks."

"For what? I just told you what you already know."

"For being there. Taking my late night calls and making me feel better."

Matthew shrugged "What are friends for?"


Courteney felt the bed shift and soon her husbands strong arms found their way around her body, pulling her closer.

David kissed the side of Courteney's neck "I'm sorry baby." He whispered in the dark room "I want another kid. It's just I don't want to see you go through the pain again. We worked so hard and getting Coco was a miracle. I'm just blessed that we got her."

All Courteney did was nod. She knew that he was just thinking about what was best for her; easier for her. But she didn't want to miss her window, and her window was closing soon.

They've been through a lot as they tried to carry. They've tried everything they could think of; intercourse, in vitro fertilization, Zygote Intrafallopian Transfer, Artificial Insemination, and Fertility Drugs

(I don't know if every single one they tried but I do know a couple they did)


2012

They couldn't do it anymore. David couldn't put her through another miscarriage. It's been 4 months since they found out she lost another. They haven't had sex since then and he knew that the fighting was getting worse. They weren't getting along and it wasn't healthy for Coco to be around.

They agreed a divorce was the one way to stop the arguing.

David swore that he saw her flirting with a co-star on the set of her new show "Cougar Town" and he admits he got jealous. Courteney knew right then that things have changed and they weren't the same in-loved couple they once were. They could hardly trust the other around younger ones of the opposite sex.

That same year Matthew broke off his six year relationship with Lizzy Caplan.

They both didn't see the relationship going anywhere and Lizzy knew that Matthew had feelings for Courteney. He was always by her side when she needed him and half the time he was talking about Courteney. It was always "Courteney this, Courteney that" He would laugh but it wasn't with her it was about something Courteney once did. She wasn't sure, but she thought she heard him call out Courteney instead of Lizzy in bed...

That was a definite sign.

To get his mind off the breakup Matthew stared in this new sitcom "Go On" Where he played a recent widower and sports talk radio host ready to get back to work after the loss of his wife.

A role he was sure might just be his exit of this love triangle he was in.

Next chapter is my cue to hook up Matthew and Courteney so stick around, it's coming soon. Very soon.
