Making The Decision

After another few weeks, it was now March the 7th, and not only had Matt recovered well from his injuries, but it was now getting close to Leah's due date, and both he and Amy had been taking extra special care of her, basically tending to her needs as she was finding it more and more difficult to get around. Matt was making breakfast with Pancake hopping up to sit on the counter with him.

Pancake: Arf! 

Matt: Hey, little guy! How's your mummy?

The pup barked, while Matt stroked his little fur baby before finishing up the French toast with a berry compote for the girls.

Matt: Reckon Leah and Ames will like this?

Pancake: Arf! Arf!

As Matt got everything all set, he took the tray into the bedroom, where both Leah and Amy were still sleeping as Amy had a nightmare through the night and could only get back to sleep with the comfort of her parents at her side. As Pancake jumped onto the bed, Matt decided to have a little fun and get a loud air horn he'd save for pranks. He got some headphones on, and braced himself as he then pressed the horn, causing Leah and Amy to shoot up from their slumber.

Leah: Oh, what the hell, Matt? I was asleep!

Amy: You woke us up, Daddy!

Matt: What? Hang on...

He then took the headphones off so he could hear the girls complaining to him.

Matt: Well, I did think about Pancake barking you up, but I thought instead that I'd have a bit of fun!

Leah: Oh, mark my words, we will get our revenge!

She then got a whiff of the French toast and saw it, along with the berry compote and immediately, Matt gave her his forgiving look.

Leah: Maybe not right now, since that breakfast does look delicious, but soon... me and Ames will get our revenge! 

Amy: Yeah, Daddy! We'll get you back!

Matt: I'll look forward to it! 

As he looked on and saw the girls happily eating their breakfast in bed, he then got a text from Hunter.

Hunter: Hey, Matt, hope everything's okay with you and Leah, especially with her being quite late into her pregnancy now. But I'm actually texting you to offer you a little proposition. You see, you may have heard about the fatal 4-way match for the Universal Title at Wrestlemania between Roman, Daniel, Braun and the mystery wrestler. And I want that to be you. You don't have to accept, but if you do, there will be a very high chance you will claim the title as Roman and Braun will be taking some time off after Mania, and Daniel will be going to Raw. It's up to you. Give me a call when you make your decision.

Matt had a thorough look at the offer Hunter had proposed. He looked back at the girls, and knew he had a bit of time to think about it. But in the meantime, he was then snapped out of his thoughts, by a sudden scream of pain from behind him.

Leah: Argh! Oh God!

Amy jumped off the covers and hugged her dad's leg, while he lifted up the duvet to see if Leah's water had broken. 

Matt: Nothing yet, but it seems like today might be the day.

Leah: You mean, the baby could come early?

Matt: It's possible. You sure this isn't you getting your revenge on me already?

Leah stumbled out of bed and gripped the edge of it tightly as she began taking deep breaths.

Matt: Okaaayyy, I guess not...

Just as he and Amy went to get the special birthing bag he packed a few weeks back, Leah screamed again, and when Amy ran back to check on her, she saw that a small puddle of water had formed in between her legs.

Amy: DADDY!

When Matt came running back, he saw the stance Leah was in, and while he got Leah some pants to put on, he showed Amy what to do with the car keys.

Matt: Okay, sweetie. I want you to run into the garage, and press the top button. That will unlock the car, and then press this bottom one, which will open the garage door. When you do that, just open the car door and get your seatbelt on. Understand?

Amy: Top butty for car, bottom butty for garage.

Matt: Clever girl! Now go, I'll be helping your mum to the car.

As Amy ran off towards the garage, Matt sprinted to the bedroom and took hold of Leah bridesmaid style and got her into the car, with Amy strapped into her child's seat in the back.

Matt: Okay, how you doing, babe?

Leah was taking deep breaths and nodded furiously as Matt then started the car.

Matt: Ames, you okay, sweetie? You all strapped in?

Amy: Yeah, but I worried about Mummy...

Matt: Don't worry sweetie, Mommy's gonna be fine, we're just gonna go to the hospital.

Amy: Is baby coming today?

Matt: Looks that way...

He drove carefully, trying to avoid the traffic as best he could and after another 15 minutes of madness, they arrived at the hospital. Matt then picked Leah up bridesmaid style again, who was close to passing out from the pain, and as they got inside, a nurse quickly saw what the situation was and got everything set up for Leah in the next 10 minutes. By the time Matt and Amy saw Leah next, she was asleep on her bed in the maternity ward.

Amy: What's wrong with her, Daddy?

Matt: Nothing sweetie, she's just asleep from the pain she was in from earlier.

Amy: Is it from Bumpy?

Matt: Yeah, it is. You're gonna be meeting your new brother or sister pretty soon.

Amy then jumped and down, trying not to make much noise to wake Leah.

Matt: You're gonna be a big sister!

She giggled and was more excited than she had ever been.

Leah: Looks like someone's excited...

Leah was feeling quite weak from the pain, but was able to muster up the courage to see her little girl all excited for their forthcoming arrival.

Matt: Hey babe, how you doing?

Leah: I've definitely been better...

Matt: Well the doctor says you're a few centimetres dilated, so you should be ready to pop in the next few hours or so...

Leah: Didn't expect all of this to happen so suddenly.

Matt: Me neither, but it's really happening. 

Leah: Have you thought of names?

Matt: Well, I won't say I haven't but a few stand out to me - Bradley or Alex for a boy and I'm torn between Daisy, Arianna and Stephanie for a girl.

Leah: All of them sound good to me, but I'd go with Arianna or Bradley. Those two just stand out for me.

Matt: If you're happy with them babe, then I am too, but we need them to get here first, so you take a rest, you'll need your energy for later.

Leah: Yeah... you're... ... right...

She went back to sleep, while Matt called Lexi and Josh, and when they arrived, all three of them kept Amy entertained for the next few hours until they saw Leah shoot up in pain, signalling a strong contraction. Luckily, a doctor was on hand nearby and heard the shout.

Doctor: Okay, she's at 10cm, it's time.

Amy: Good luck, Mummy!

As Amy was being comforted by Lexi, Josh and Matt took one hand each and gave Leah all the encouragement she needed to pull this off.

Josh: You've got this, Leah. You can do this, you can do anything!

Matt: Just think how good it will be for Amy to have a little sibling to play with. About how good it will feel when they're cradled in your arms. Imagine having a child of your very own...

That was all that was needed and Leah pushed as hard as she could for the best part of 20 minutes, before the baby's head made an appearance.

Doctor: Okay, the head's out, just one more push!

Matt: You're so nearly there babe, so close!

She pushed so hard she nearly broke Matt's hand, and while he tried to conceal the pain, Josh raised a wry smile.

Josh: You okay there, mate?

Matt: Yep, fine.

He let out a sharp breath as Leah had stopped screaming and the baby was now born. The baby girl was crying like no tomorrow, but just when Leah thought the worst was over, she began feeling something else.

Leah: Er... guys... I don't think I'm done yet...

She almost immediately started screaming in pain again as she felt the urge to push and sure enough after another half an hour, she gave birth to another baby. Everyone was in awe, especially Matt.

Matt: Twins?

Josh: I'll admit, I didn't see that coming!

Doctor: Congratulations to you both, you've got a healthy baby boy and girl.

As Leah held the girl, who was born first, Matt took care of the boy.

Leah: Looks like you'll have a brother AND a sister, Amy! Come over and say hello!

As Amy slowly climbed onto the bed, she kissed Leah on the cheek and had her first look at her baby brother and sister.

Amy: They're pwetty, Mummy!

Matt: They're more than pretty, they're beautiful.

As Leah and Matt tenderly kissed, Amy noticed Lexi had her phone set to camera mode, and as she lined up to take the picture, Amy rushed over, and gave the phone to the doctor.

Amy: Can you take the piccy, pwease? I want Lexi in it as well!

Doctor: How can I say no to a cute little girl like you?

Amy: Hey, I'm not wittle! I'm nearly 6!

Everyone laughed as she gave the doctor a playful slap on the leg before dragging Lexi into the picture, along with everyone else. 

Doctor: Okay, 3... 2... 1...

As the flash went off, everyone did a pose, with Leah and Matt smiling as they held their newborns.

Doctor: So, have you thought about names for the babies?

Leah: Yeah, Arianna Rose and Bradley Matthew Watkins.

Matt: There's just one thing that's bothering me - who's the father? Cos a few months back, we had a little disagreement about what had happened, so if possible, we'd like some sort of clarification.

Doctor: No problem. I'll take them for DNA tests. I'll need some from you and Mr. Edwards...

After the swabs were taken, the doctor left, and as Leah had gone to sleep, Amy wondered what this meant for her and her room.

Amy: So, where are the babies gonna sweep, Daddy?

Matt: For the first couple of weeks, they'll have little cots in your room, but with the help of Josh, as well as a few other people...

He double checked to see if Lexi and Josh were paying attention.

Matt: ... they'll have their own rooms. A splash of paint here and there in the spare bedroom, as well as some new toys for them and other things, and it should be done. You can help us if you like, honey.

Amy jumped and giggled up and down in excitement. And soon after that, the doctor returned with both the babies and the DNA test results.

Doctor: Here you go, I'll leave you to find out for yourselves. Congratulations again.

Matt: Thanks, doc. Much appreciated.

As the door shut, he opened the envelope to both Josh and Lexi, who saw it first. And if their reactions were anything to go by, Matt was confident.

Matt: So the babies ARE mine after all. That's a relief... no offence, Josh.

Josh: Ahh, none taken buddy. But all of this, Leah going what she went through today, it's made me realise how lucky I am to be with this amazing girl. She's gonna be a great mum someday... maybe sooner than you think...

He hugged Lexi, cheekily rubbing his hands down her back towards her biscuit butt, where he got a good squeeze of it.

Lexi: Watch yourself, mister. 

Josh: Well, what can I say? I'm that kind of guy.

Matt took some time to think, and realised that Leah told him that when she goes back to WWE, that she would be the special referee for the Women's Title unification match. But Matt wasn't sure about what was being proposed to him. He said his goodbyes to Lexi and Josh as they left, and took some time to consider Hunter's offer, while watching both his fiance and now all 3 of his kids sleeping. He thought about what they would do in his situation, as he couldn't sleep because of it. After another 10 minutes, Amy had woken up from her nap.

Amy: Daddy, can we go home now? I'm weally tired...

Matt: Yeah, sure thing, short stuff.

He picked Amy up, and as both of them said goodbye to a sleeping Leah, Arianna and Bradley, Matt had made his decision. After a short drive back home, he tucked Amy in on Leah's side of the bed, made her comfortable, and when she was fully asleep, he got his phone and called Hunter.

Matt: Hunter? It's Matt... About that offer...
