Remenissions (Avenged Sevenfold)

Chapter 81

Matt's POV

I got out of the shower and dried myself, pulling on a pair of shorts and a t-shirt. I had to get ready, we were heading down soon for the sound check and I was trying to be quiet because Lana was sleeping.

We'd been on tour for nearly three weeks and we were all tired, Lana was just a little more exhausted than everyone else, though that was completely understandable. We were finishing up our European leg of the tour tonight and Lana wanted to spend the afternoon resting, instead of going out, looking around.

I walked out and looked at her frowning. Who would she go out with anyway? It's not like Marty ever invited her to hang out with her and Rachel. It was like she was completely ignoring Lana's existence. Lana pretended she didn't notice but I knew it bothered her, a lot.

She was sound asleep and she looked beautiful, laying there in just her panties and the tiny top she insisted on wearing, her six month pregnant belly showing. Apparently she hated clothes at the moment, they irritated her and whenever she could she spent most of her time in her underpants and that teeny little top that barely covered anything. Believe me, I wasn't complaining, I was happy for her to prance around naked if she wanted.

I walked over to the bed, climbing on it and laying behind her. I leant over and kissed her cheek softly.

"I'm going in a minute babe." I whispered.

She opened her eye's and stretched a little. "Okay." She murmured.

"I won't be long." I told her softly. "I'll come back and we can go back down together." I reached over, rubbing my hand on her belly softly. I loved doing that, and sometimes I would lay next to of a night with my hand on her stomach, her hand over mine.

She put her hand over mine. "Don't be long."

"You could come?" I suggested.

She rolled over and I wrapped my arms around her. "I'll just nap." She murmured, kissing me.

Now I didn't particularly want to go anywhere, I had my half naked girlfriend kissing me.

"Why didn't you go out shopping?" I asked gently, although I already knew the answer.

"I guess hanging out with a pregnant girl isn't much fun." She whispered.

I pulled her closer and kissed her. "It's my favourite thing to do."

"Good." She whispered. "Now go, so you can hurry back."

"Okay." I said kissing her again. "I won't be long."

I got up and headed out. I meant it, I wouldn't be long, I hated leaving her like this and I wished she would have come with me. This tour was taking it out of her and well, Marty wasn't helping either. I didn't really know what her problem was, it was like Lana said, now she was pregnant Marty found her boring.

The other's were waiting downstairs for me and we piled into a car, heading to the venue for a quick sound check before the show tonight.

The car ride was a bit quiet, I didn't have much to say honestly and I was a little pissed at Brian and Zack for the way the girls were treating Lana. I knew it wasn't their fault, but still, it was mean and horrible and I would love to know what Marty's problem was.

"The party should be fun tonight." Zack said, staring out the window.

An end of tour party had been organised, all the bands we'd played with would be there, and Zack was right, it would be a fun night.

"I can't wait." Brian said. "What about you?" He asked, looking at me.

I shrugged. "I don't know if I'll go."

"What?" He asked, looking shocked.

"It depends on how Lana is feeling." I explained, although I was sick of explaining it.

"Impending fatherhood has made you soft." He said laughing.

I wasn't laughing and I looked at him. "Well all this travelling has taken it out of her and your wife being a bitch hasn't helped."

He opened his mouth and then closed it again. He knew I was right and he didn't have a reply. He couldn't defend Marty.

The sound check went fine and it went quickly and I really just wanted to get back to the hotel and as we got back in the car Brian sat next to me.

"Look Matt." He said quietly, so nobody else could hear. "I'm sorry about Marty, but what can I do?"

I just shrugged, I had no answer.

"I don't want you and Lana to miss out on tonight because of it and." He did look bothered by it. "I'm really sorry that Lana feels uncomfortable."

I looked at him. "Yeah she feels uncomfortable, she's six months pregnant, travelling the world." I told him. "And to be honest, it seems to bother me more than her, in her words, it mustn't be fun to hang out with a pregnant girl."

He shook his head. "I'll talk to her Matt and tell Lana to come tonight, I want to see her."

I nodded, I knew Lana would go tonight anyway, she wouldn't want me to miss out. "Okay."

"And you know I'm happy for you guy's right?" He added and I nodded, I knew he was, it just seemed his wife wasn't.

We got back to the hotel and I headed straight inside and as I walked to the elevator I noticed Marty and Rachel sitting there, obviously waiting for the guy's.

"Hey Matt." Marty called out and I glanced at her, completely ignoring her. If she wanted to treat Lana badly, I would treat her badly.

"Rude." I heard her say to Rachel and it took every bit of my willpower not to turn back and say something. Who was she to call someone rude?

I went upstairs and let myself in. I could hear the shower running and I went over to the bathroom, opening the door.

"I'm back." I called out.

Lana pushed back the shower curtain, smiling. "Good, I missed you."

"You did?" I asked her, grinning.

She nodded. "Yep, are you hot and sweaty?" She asked. "Because I have room."

She didn't have to ask me twice. I took off my shorts and t-shirt and got in the shower with her.

I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close. "Do you want to go to the party tonight?" I asked, kissing her softly.

"Of course I do." She murmured against my lips. "I want to go wherever you go."

"Good, because I want you to go wherever I go." I whispered.

She looked up at me and smiled. "Matt, I only need you and our baby." She said softly. "You're all I want in my life."

"And you're all I want." And it was true, I didn't need anybody except Lana, she completed me.

"Oh." She said grabbing my hand and placing it on her stomach. "See, even the baby agrees."

I smiled as I felt the baby kicking. I didn't care what Marty's problem was, Lana and I were happy and I couldn't wait til our baby was born. Then our lives would be complete.

Well................almost.
