Matalie's end?

"Yeah," Natalie said, offering him the tiniest of smiles. She didn’t say so, and neither did he, but something was off. Before, whenever she took his hand, he’s smile at her and kiss it, sometimes even go as far as kissing her. Now he just looked like he’d rather she didn’t hold his hand, so she dropped it before standing up from the armrest.

Matthew cleared his throat and took his hand into himself again and watched her went up from the armrest and back to the bed. In a way, the situation with them was awkward and almost a bit uncomfortable, and he knew that she felt the same way about the situation. It felt so strange, so fake. It just wasn't right. "So, what are you doing tomorrow?" he asked her, giving her a smile.

Matalie's end?

"That’s good," Natalie said, offering him a small smile. When he said he’d missed her, she wanted to walk over and kiss him, but she didn’t know how he’d really react. After a short debate with herself on whether or not to do it, she ended up walking over and sitting down on the armrest of his chair, taking his hand in hers. "Missed you too," she said quietly and sighed, brushing her hair behind her ear.

As she stood up and sat down right next to him on the armrest, his heart skipped a little. Matt didn't know how to react anymore. He didn't know what he felt for her, but he knew whatever he felt for her at the moment, it had to be put aside, because he did not want to break her heart even more than it already was. When Natalie took his hand, he swallowed for a second to just get his mind together, and then he squeezed it lightly back. "Good,"

Matalie's end?

She’s a little better now. Got a little help on how to deal with everything, so things have been easier than they were before. The only negative thing is that while she’d been getting better, Matthew started pulling away and stayed more away than he did with her. Usually she wouldn’t really mind, but why now? Why right after they lost their baby? Looking up from her books — and her thoughts — Natalie met Matt’s eyes as he sat down in the chair opposite her. “It’s been okay,” she said honestly. “And yours?”

[matthewwaters-blog]

Matt took a deep breathe, here goes nothing again. "It's been fine, really fine, but I've missed you," it was strange how their relationship had shifted the last few weeks, after everything that's happened, you would think that it would've make them stronger and more in need of each other, but no. It felt nothing like that. He had stopped with the funny comments, and trying to cheer her up was harder than before if she was in that mood. Also it was harder to come up with something to talk about and keep the conversation going. Which also killed him. He hated it, but he couldn't help it.

Matalie's end?

Matthew walked over from the agents office, looking around if anyone could see him. After discovering the truth about the jumpers and the bomb, agent Skye and agent Ward had given him the orders to stay quiet about it in return that he could join them as their inside man. Which he obviously didn’t turn down to. Of course would he like to be their inside man and get the scoop about everything that’s been happening, but the bad side of this, was that he had to lie about where he was all the time to Natalie. Which was the worst thing he could ever do. He stepped into their room and looked at her. “Hello,” said he quietly, his feet was walking slowly into the room and sat down in the chair above her. "How was your day?" Matthew tried to avoid talking anything about him, because everything that came out of his mouth these days were just lies. And he hated it. It killed him inside.

( She’d decided enough of her time had been spent locked up in their room, hiding in their bed, when she found him sitting by himself on a bench. “What is?” Natalie asked, running a hand through her messy curls before sitting down next to him. She let a few centimetres stay between them, just to.. not smother him, she supposed. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ His heart jumped for a second as she spoke. He hadn't heard her voice in days, so eventually he had just stopped trying to get any contact with her. These days without her had been so empty, so lifeless. He wanted to take her pain away, but how could he take her pain away when he couldn't take his own pain away. "Oh, nothing, just something I overheard," he said back to her and tried to give her a weak smile back. If you had just walked by them, you wouldn't reconize them. They were not the joyful, happy and colorful couple as everyone knew them as. Now they were the joyless, miserable and grey couple no one knew. ]

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ He sat on the bench and listened carefully what the group of people stood and whispered about. It wasn't that hard, seeing one of them was the loudest person in this district, and when he whispered it was just like talking. Matthew heard they mentioned the words "jumper", "chicago", "bomb" and "dangerous", and seeing he wasn't stupid, he puzzled those words together and found out that the myth was true. There was jumpers here in D13. His eyes went big for a second when he realized that it was dangerous with them here. And he instantly thought of Natalie and what would happen to her before he shaked his head. "No, it's just rubbish," ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( Natalie followed his eyes to her baby bump and smiled before grasping his hand under the table, giving it a small squeeze. Looking over at Callie talking to Matthew made her smile even bigger and she had to lean her elbows on the table so she could rest her chin on her hands. “She’s a pro. She even taught me how to do this. I’m not easily taught,” she said with a smile, glittering a piece of paper. Probably Effie’s. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ The little girl beside them smiled as they kept complimenting her, and it was nice to see someone like that. Matthew leaned over to Nat's ear. "Is that the Oprhan kid you were telling me about?" he whispered in her ear before kissing her cheek and then looked back at Callie. "Do you think I can become just as good as you are?" he asked her, and the little girl smiled big and said No. "Oh really?" he laughed. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( ”Hi,” Natalie said with a smile when Matthew sat down next to her. She turned her head to the side and kissed him. “Are you joining us, Mr. Waters?” she said with a grin before she returned to cutting out numbers from coloured paper. “We are making New Years Glasses. You’re very much welcome to help,” she said with a smile, looking over at Callie, a little girl without any parents. Then she moved her eyes back to Matthew. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[Matthew sat down beside her, and looked down on her stomach where a bump was finally showing. He smiled just by the sight of it, knowing that it was his unborn child in there who couldn't wait to get out of it to see the world. And when he or she did, he was going to show the baby everything it wanted to see. "Well, I'm not so sure if I know how to do it," he smiled before looking at Callie, and took his hand out. "I'm Matthew, and who might this young lady be?" the little girl smiled as she took his hand and said her name. "So, can you show me how to do this? Because it looks like you've a pro at it," ]

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matthew walked down to her, and sat down beside her, kissing her cheek before he looked at what she was doing. "I thought you'd be here," he said and smiled to her. The girl he was looking at was too good to be true. She soon had everything she needed to have a happy life, and everything she needed to live well, but still she had to help those who didn't. She was too good like that. "So, what are we making?" Even though he wasn't like that, he did it for here. Besides, it was new years eve. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( She smiled, eyes shining with unshed tears. Could she get any happier? When he kissed her, she returned it with the biggest smile. “I was thinking, if it’s a girl.. Harper? If it’s okay with you.” she said with a small smile, hands reaching for his. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matt held her hand, squeezed it a little bit before he smiled and listened to what she had to say. When she suggested his mother's name, he didn't know how to respond, and just smiled big. "Really?" as he spoke, he nodded his head. "Harper is perfect," ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( Natalie grinned and shrugged her shoulders. Honestly, she didn’t know how it was possible. Almost seemed too good to be true, but she didn’t care. Not when she was this happpy. “We have to figure out names! Oh God,” she said with a groan, still smiling. Too many names, too few kids. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ He couldn't believe it. It was too good to be true, really, but he loved it. He loved to see Natalie so happy, and all he've ever wanted, was to have a family with her. A family with the woman that he loved more than anything in the world. Matthew looked at her, and almost felt like he was going to tear up. Not because he was sad, but because he was so happy that he couldn't explain it. "Oh gosh, yes do you have any ideas?" he smiled to her and kissed her again. "I'm so happy," he mumbled to her lips. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( “Yeah,” she nodded with a bright smil, wrapping her arms around him. When he pulled away and kissed her, she continued smiling into the kiss. “Are you talking to me or the kid?” she asked with a smile, eyes moving from his face to his hand on her stomach. There wasn’t a baby bump or any sign of life inside her, but she knew there’d be some soon. A family of her own? With Matthew? He’d be the father he never had. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matthew smiled to her and kissed her forehead. "I was talking to both of you," he laughed before taking his hand on her cheek again. "I thought you said you couldn't be pregnant?" he asked her before shaking his head. "But it doesn't matter now." The man thought in the future. he was going to be a father. And she was going to be a mother. Oh, what a wonderful mother the child was going to get. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( Natalie pulled away and stood in front of Matthew, so she could look at him. “No, it’s not the cancer,” she promised with a small smile. “I’m — uh.” Her hands were shaking, now, and her heart was racing. “I’m pregnant.” )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ He looked at her in a little relief before his fear came up again, what else could it be? "You're.. Wha  " Matthew didn't finish his sentence before she told him the big news, and he couldn't believe the words she had just said. "What?" As it started to sink in, he smiled big and a little laugh came out of him before he took his hands on her shoulders. "You're pregnant." he said with a calm voice, smiling to her. "We're pregnant." He pulled her close into a hug and held her there for a while until he pulled her away and kissed her lips. "I love you so much," His hand went down to her tummy, rubbing his thumb over it as he kept smiling to himself. He couldn't believe that she was pregnant. They were having a mini Natalie or Matthew. It was the best news ever. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( She shook her head, eyes locked on him before a tiny smile appeared on her face. She looked away and waved carefully at a few people she recognized from camp. “Not really..” she said. “I don’t think hanging around in smoke right now would be the best thing for us both.” )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matthew stopped and raised an eyebrow, he didn't like when she said something like that. Was she getting worse again? He knew she had struggled with the cancer for a long time now, but he thought it was under control. "Why? Is something wrong again? Is it the cancer?" he looked confused and a bit scared. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( That made her cheeks flush up with redness. “Thank you, Mr. Waters. You look handsome, too.” Natalie said with a small grin and leaned into him, hand reaching around his back. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matthew kept his arm around her shoulders while they were walking, smiling down to her. "I know, I always do," he joked before looking around. "Hey, do you want to go out? I need to have a cig," he gave her a innocent look. ]

[natalieknave-blog]

( Nat chuckled and nodded her head while she looked from her own jumpsuit to his. “Just wish they weren’t so darn big.” she said with a smile, eyes wandering from him to the passing citizens of D13. It was strange, living underground, under metres of earth and grass. “Feel like I’m drowning in it,” she reached out and grabbed the side of his jumpsuit. “Even yours is too big! Stupid designers, can’t get our measurements right,” she joked. )

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ Matt laughed at her joke, he liked that she was more comfortable with her jokes, and could make a joke around him, before she was more.. stricked, if you could call it that. He guessed that he had an affection on her. The guy looked down on her jumpsuit and dragged a little bit in it. "Well, you've got to admit that you look damn cute in it," he smiled before taking his arm around her shoulders and kissed her head. "You always do," ]

[matthewwaters-blog]

[ He was walking towards her, smiling as he got closer to her. "I don't think I'll ever be used to go dress like this," he joked and looked down to their matching outfits. "But a good thing comes out with this.. We look like a matching couple, like Bonnie & Clyde," Matt smiled to Nat. ]
