Forever Till death...

twenty three....

 Thanks for waiting. :) Finally got it sorted out. ps. this is a work of fiction so just go with the flow.

The courtroom was hell. To see Matty in an orange jumpsuit killed me but he'll be out in a few minutes from what I've been told. I'm standing here waiting to for him.Jamie has been a great help with everything and Jason kept his word.It was unnerving to be in the same room as him, his gaze on me through every proceeding, every break and every word that was spoken.He confessed to everything and it surprised me because he didn't even act like he wanted to defend himself. It's like he wants to go to jail but I'm not complaining.Nobody was.

Jamie is standing at the end of the table. We're in an office he's been a great help for the past few days. He assures me that I don't have to worry about anything after today. I can only hope he's right. The door opens and Matty walks in behind an officer. He's in black jeans and tee. He has some scruff on his face his eyes dark and tired . I watch him not sure if he's mad at me for all of this. His eyes light up and he sighs.

'Come here babe" I don't even wait for him to finish and I'm in his arms. He holds me tight and he sways us gently like he always does when he's trying to soothe me. My eyes are wet and I'm crying in probably the ugliest cries of history.

"You've missed me haven't you.He didn't hurt you did he."

I'll never get how Matty always puts me at the front of his thoughts  no matter what even though he's the one who's had it worse.

I pull back from him and craddle his face,"Me?! You're the one who's been through hell . You look it too." I say sniffling.

He chuckles,"Don't go mum mode on me. I'm perfectly fine. I wasn't shacked up with a psycho."

"You were shacked up with a couple of those actually."

"You were shacked up with  their overlord.You okay?'

"Perfect now that you're here." he smiles removing one of his hands from my waist and putting it on my belly.

"How's our little munchkin.'

'She's okay.'

'Yeah?'

'Yeah."

"I've missed you."

"I  missed you more." He looks up and it's like he's just noticing we're not alone. "Ross' he says taking my hand in his and I turn around to face Jamie.

'You alright Matthew.'

"Yes. Thank you. You kept your word and I appreciate it. You're an okay guy."

Jamie simply nods and walks to us."I'm sorry about your friend and everything my brother put you through." He pats Matty's arm and walks out.

"You look good for a pregnant lady." he says in typical Matty fashion. He really doesn't let anything put him down for long.

"Yeah, you're not too bad yourself for a jail bird."

"Well I'm the baddest bird you'll ever see." He kisses my cheek,'You wanna go home? I really need a shower." He makes a show of smelling his armpits and I laugh.

"I hope you didn't pick up the soap."

"Oh don't even remind me. Showering with a bunch of dudes is not my thing." He puts his arm over my shoulders and we walk out .

Matty helps me move out of my place in the few days and through Jamie's help we find a three bedroomed house to rent. As much as I hate how messy Matty is and his numerous conquests, I'd rather be living with him than alone.
