Matt's POV
I couldn't believe my eye's, Josh, after all this time, he'd just shown up.
I threw my door open, him and Ana were just staring at eachother.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Matt." He exclaimed, looking at me in shock. "I had trouble finding you."
"Yeah well you did." I said putting my arm around Ana. "Now what do you want?"
"Ana." He said. "I want to see Ana."
I watched as he reached out, grabbing her arm.
"Don't touch my fucking wife." I snapped, grabbing the front of his shirt.
He looked at both of us with wide eye's.
"Matt, it's okay." Ana said softly. "Let him go."
I looked at her and she nodded, taking my hand and squeezing it.
"You two got married?" Josh asked.
"Well if you'd bothered to stick around." I snapped.
Ana squeezed my hand again. "7 years." She told him smiling.
"Seriously? Man." He said.
"So what are you doing here?" I asked again.
"I told you." He said.
I looked him up and down, he looked me up and down.
"Come inside." Ana said.
I looked at her, raising my eyebrows. "Ana."
"He's my brother Matt."
Josh looked at me and I glared. I didn't know what he was doing here and I didn't trust him. He'd left Ana and his family at a time when they needed him most and now he just shows up, expecting everyone to be happy?
I unlocked the front door and we walked in, Josh looking around, sucking in his breath.
"This is some house." He muttered.
"Yes well Matt looks after us." Ana said.
"I know, I've kept up, I know you and the guys have been doing well." He looked down at his feet. "And Matt about Jimmy, I'm sorry."
I watched Ana go stiff, standing up straighter, any talk of Jimmy still upset her. Did I blame her, no, it was entirely my fault.
"Uh yeah well." I said reaching out and pulling Ana to me. "Sit down, we'll get you a drink."
Josh made himself comfortable and I pulled Ana into the kitchen.
"Ana." I said.
"I know Matt." She said quietly.
"What does he want? Suddenly just showing up after all this time."
She looked at me and shook her head. I pulled her to my chest, holding her.
"I'm sorry that I'm wary babe." I murmured. "But he treated you like shit."
"I know." She murmured, wrapping her arms around my waist.
"I'm just looking out for you."
"I love when you get all manly Matthew." She groaned. "It kind of turns me on."
I looked at her and rolled my eye's. "Now is not the time."
"I know." She smiled.
"What does he want Ana, I mean it's been what, eight years and he suddenly just shows up?"
She shook her head. "I don't know Matt, I really don't."
"Well I'm sorry if I act a little unfriendly, I'm just wary."
"I know baby." She whispered, standing on her tiptoes to kiss me. "Let's go back in."
I nodded, grabbing some sodas out of the fridge and following Ana back into the living room.
Josh was standing there, looking at photos.
"Who?" He asked, holding up a photo of Charlotte.
"That's your niece." Ana told him, smiling.
He placed the picture back and put his hand over his mouth.
Aw man, I think he was crying, so I looked out the window, I wasn't comfortable with dudes crying.
"Josh." Ana said going to him. "Where have you been?"
"Everywhere, running away." He whispered, wiping his eyes.
She touched his arm.
Goddamn Ana, so trusting.
"You really have a baby?" He asked looking at the both of us.
Ana nodded, glancing at me and smiling.
"Well." I said. "She's not really a baby and she'd probably kick you if you called her that."
He smiled and I felt myself begin to relax a little. He looked like he'd been to hell and back.
"Come." Ana said. "Sit down Josh, talk." I watched them both sit down and suddenly Ana burst into tears. "Where have you been?" She cried.
I watched him burst into tears and they embraced eachother. I quietly left, leaving those two some time to themselves.
I went into my game room, laying on the couch, thinking. I mean I was glad he was back for Ana's sake, I just hoped he planned to stick around, be a part of her life.
A little while later Aa came in the room. Her eye's were red from crying, but she was smiling.
"He's exhausted." She murmured, grabbing my game controller and throwing it on the ground, crawling onto my lap. "He's asleep."
I kissed her softly. "Are you okay?"
She nodded. "I think so."
"Good." I murmured, kissing her again.
"I asked him to stay, I hope you don't mind."
I shook my head. "Whatever you want baby."
"What I want is you. You promised me a little something something on the way home." She smirked.
"Well." I said. "Lock that door and I'll give you a little something something."
She locked the door, coming back over and straddling me. "Can I have alot?" She murmured.
Fuck yes she could.
