Anna's POV

I can't exactly remember how long Kat and I waited but its morning already and we haven't heard anything from Elsa or Matt.

This is so frustrating.

Kat has been trying to get me back to bed but I known even if I did go to bed, I wouldn't sleep.

So what's the use.

"What could be taking them so long?" Kat asked

My legs were shaking out of habit.

Then we heard the front door open. Kat and I got up as Elsa and Matt entered the house.

Matt wasn't looking like Matt.

He looked like he'd been deprived of something. Well we all know what that something is.

"Oh my God, what happened?" Kat asked

I just stared at Matt. I couldn't say anything. My legs were frozen on the spot and my lips were sealed. That's when I noticed that I was trembling.

"He was put behind bars and I couldn't bail him out till a few minutes ago" Elsa said

Matt went to the kitchen and took a bottle of water.

"Why?" Kat asked

"Well, Nick's lying unconscious in the hospital. That should answer everything else" Elsa said

Kat smiled and looked at Matt "Nice work Matt. I would've done the same"

I gave her a death glare which wiped the smile off her face.

"We should leave" Kat told Elsa still looking at me "I don't wanna end up like Nick" she said going towards the door

"We'll see you later Anna. Take care of yourself" Elsa said

I nodded and they left.

I looked back at Matt who was looking at me. I walked to the kitchen and stayed infront of him. The kitchen counter between us.

"So...?" I said with my heart hammering in my chest "You beat him up"

"Wasn't enough" he said

I sighed
"Matt, I understand what Nick did was wrong but he doesn't deserve that"

"He deserves that and more" he sounded frustrated

"Okay. Fine. Let's say he got what was coming for him and ended up worse than he is now. You end up in jail. What then am I suppose to tell our child?" I asked

He looked at me with sad eyes

"That his father is a good man but he beat someone to death!" I spat. My eyes were tearing up "You didn't even think of what was gonna happen next. You just up and left." The tears I was trying to hold in escaped

He shut his eyes really tight
"Anna..." he came round the counter and hugged me so tight like he never wants to let go "...I'm sorry. I know I've been saying that a lot but I mean it. I am truly sorry for all the pain I've caused you" he pulled back and touched my face lightly "I still don't know how and why you forgave me"

My heart raced
It's because I still love you Matt. I always have and I always will. You've caused me pain but you've also made me happier than I've ever been for so long. I still don't know what you see in me.

"Lets get you to bed. Doctor doesn't want you on your feet" he guided me to my room and tucked me into bed.

He was about leaving when I held his hand.

"Stay with me Matt...please" I said

He smiled for the first time since last night. He got into the bed and pulled me closer to him. I sighed with contentment as I placed his hand on my belly.

He kissed my nape which made me smile
"Go to sleep" he said

And I did.

Matt's POV

I woke up with Anna in my arms, in her bed. I couldn't help but smile.

Last night and this morning was a blur. What I can remember is beating Nick up.

Anna was looking so distraught when I came in. I knew she hadn't slept since I left. Once again, my fault. I have to pinch myself everyday to be sure this isn't a dream.

How could she forgive me after everything?

I was gonna do everything I could to make it up to her.

She stirred in her sleep. My hand was still on her belly. She turned to face me with her eyes still closed.

I lifted my hand to her face and brushed her hair away from her face. My hand lingered longer than I wanted it to. I grazed my thump on her cheek and I traced her lips. Her eyes snapped open and my eyes met her blue eyes.

God!

I didn't know I could fall any deeper in love with her, but right here and now I just did. She placed her hand on my chest and smiled. My heart did a back flip. Then she snuggled closer to me and my heart beat just sky rocketed.

"Your heart's racing" she whispered

I took me a while before I answered "I know"

I never want to loose her again.

"It's still racing" she said

I laughed "I know"

"Why? Are you scared?"

Silence.

She looked at me and waited for my reply

"I am"

"Why?"

I sighed inwardly "I never want to loose you"

Silence.

She crawled up to me till her hair fell over us like a curtain. Then she did what I never thought she'd do for a long time.

She placed her hand on my face and slowly brought her face closer to mine. She closed her eyes and so did I. All I could do was anticipate what I knew was coming. Her lips grazed mine and then...

"...Matt, Matt"

I woke up and saw Anna sitting near me. I quickly sat up. Alarmed that something was wrong

"Are you okay?"

She nodded
"I'm hungry...and there's nothing in the kitchen I feel like eating" she said

I smiled at her

"I'm sorry I woke you up"

I hugged her
"I'm happy you did" I got out from bed "Get ready, we're going out"

"Okay" she said smiling

An hour later, we were seated in KAT's waiting to order. We went to two other restaurants before we finally came here. She either felt like gagging because of the smell of coffee or she felt like puking looking at the food.

"I'm sorry" she said

"Anna don't apologize. I don't understand your cravings and dislike for somethings, but don't ever apologize for it"

She nodded

"Well look what the 'Kat' dragged in"

We turned to find Kat looking at us.

"Seems like you two finally made up" she said

"There was nothing wrong with us" Anna said

"I would have disagreed two weeks ago..." she said "...and this morning"

I smiled
"Kat, Anna's starving"

"Oh. What's she craving this time?" Kat asked

"Donuts, Pastries, Cake, that sort" I said

"You want something?" She asked me

"I'd say coffee but she gags at the smell, so tea?"

"Coming right up" she said

"Hurry back Kat" Anna said as Kat left

"Okay boss." Kat said

I looked back at Anna whom by the way looks amazing with her hair in a pony tail, one of my pull overs, her trouser and vans.

I had to tie the lace for her cause she couldn't bend.

"Penny for your thought" she said

I smiled "Just thinking of how amazing you look right now...and every other time"

She blushed which made me smile. She could still blush at me complimenting her after everything that's happened.

Anna ate to her satisfaction. I just slowly drank my tea and waited for her to finish. I planned everything in my head on how I was gonna make it up to her. I excused myself and went to call my assistant to set everything up. Then I went back to join Anna.

We went back home. I told her to pack a few things

"Why?" She asked

"We're going somewhere"

"Where?" She asked smiling

"It's a surprise"

"You know I don't like surprises"

"But you've always loved mine"

She smiled and went upstairs while I packed mine and waited for her. She came back down with a duffel bag. I took it from her and we went to the car.

I drove straight to our destination. I noticed how she tried to compose herself from being excited or curious.

We finally arrived. I carried her bag and mine and led the way. Finally she saw it.

She was pretty surprised...and shocked
"You own a Yacht?"

I smiled at her
"C'mon let's go." I held her hand "Careful"

"Thanks" she smiled

"Welcome on board sir" Daniel said

"Daniel. Good to see you" I said

"Same here sir. Ma'am" he bowed his head

"Anna, this is Daniel, the captain" I told Anna

"Oh" she shook Daniel's hand "Nice to meet you"

"Congratulations" Daniel told her

"What?" She asked him

"You're expecting" Daniel said.

"Oh, yeah. Thanks" she smiled at him.

Darn. If I didn't know Daniel, I'd have punched him in the face.

"Daniel we're set" I told him

"Of course" he said and left

"So where are we going?" She asked again

"You'll see" I smiled and led the way to her cabin "This is yours"

She nodded not looking at me

"What's the problem?" I asked her

"I kinda thought we'd share a room" she said "But its okay"

I smiled
"Anna, I don't think I'll be able to control myself if we keep sharing a bed" I said

She looked at me. Shock written all over her face

"But if that's what you want, I'll try to control myself" I told her

She smiled and nodded.

She looked tired.

"Take a nap. I'll wake you when we get there"

"Okay" she got into bed and I tucked her then left.

I sighed when I got to the deck.

I was gonna make this perfect for her...I hope nothing goes wrong.
