Matt sat on the couch in his living room, it had been a couple of weeks but at least he knew that his family was alive and well. Even if they didn't want anything to do with him he was willing to do everything for them. He sighed, "Why is it so hard for me to just go back to who I was?" he asked himself out loud.

Zara had been on her break at the hospital and was apparating home to pick up some things. UNfotrunately she had thought of the wrong place as home and had ended up quite abruptly in Matt's house. She turned to see him there and said, "I'm sorry, wrong place."

She looked at him. "Matt, is no really a good time?" she asked him. "I'm meant to be back at work in a few minutes. "And you're probably busy." In all Zara didn't want to know anything because the more she learnt th more she knew things had changed... But for better or worse, she still was not sure.

Matt looked at her, "I haven't anything to do but if you really have to get going I guess I can talk to you another time." he said, "But we do need to talk about things" he said to her. "At least about us." he said to her,

Matt looked at her and sighed, "I just have been wanting to tell you this since I found out you were still alive." He said to her, "I am sorry for everything that I put you through." He said to her, "I have changed, you have changed. " he said, "Even if there is no longer an us. I am still in love with you." he said to her as he put his arm back down and looked at her,

"You didn't do anything Matt it was my fault. I was the one who got you involved in all of this. Death eaters probably weren't an option until I came along." Zara told him. "Well, we've bound to have changed Matt after all it's been...." She was cut of as Matt said the last sentence. Zara just stood there not knowing what to say but eventually came out. "And I'm still in love with you but I'm scared of what you've become or what you may be becoming."

Matt laughed a little, "I know." he said to her, "Zara, The only reason they ever were an option was because of how much I loved you." he said to her, "That was the only reason then and that is the only reason now." he said to her, "What I have become is something I was able to do to earn money, I didn't expect to be good at it." he said, "It just came naturally to me, as naturally as breathing does to everyone." he said to her, he knew he wasn't helping but he was being honest. "Apart from that Zara, If it would mean I could be with my family I would give it up." he said to her, "I would destroy it to be with you and the boys." he said.

"I know Matt and I still feel guilty for all of it. I mean look what i caused." He arm reached out and gently touched his stump. She listened to him speak and it didn't calm her at all. "Matt you shouldn't give it up not if it's something you enjoy doing because that's like me giving up healing." She then looked at the ground, "Matt they boys...I don't know if Rhys is willing to accept you and I can't force them into being a family like that. No matter how much I love you."

Matt looked at her, "The only thing that I have enjoyed about it was the fact that it brought me out of my depression." he said, "Other than that I couldn't care less about designing weapons." he said, "It paid my bills" he said to her, "I don't want to cause any problems with the boys, if I need to I can talk to Rhys attempt to get him to like me." he said to her, "And I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do." he said.

"There's no denying you have a talent in that field and I'm sure Lily couldn't cope without someone like you in the Ministry. Maybe just tone it down a bit..." Zara suggested to him. She looked to him. "they're both as stubborn as we are and I think Rhys just needs it drilled into him that you didn't abandon us or just quit. He's hurting and I know it's my fault. I'm sorry for wrecking the relationship with your children."

Matt looked at her, "You didn't wreck the relationship I have with my sons" he said to her, "Our sons" he corrected, "They just spent time without me" he said, "I can easily remedy that by spending time with them and trying to let them get to know me." he said, "Rhys is going to be hard at first But I want to try" he said to her, "If you are willing to let me try that is." he added.

She nodded slowly. "I'm ready to let you get to know them Matt because you have as much right as anyone else... As for us, I think we should see what happenes with our children before starting over, no?" she asked him.

Matt looked at her and nodded, "I agree" he said to her, "If we need to I am more then willing to start over" he said, "Even if it means going back to square one." he said to her, "I just.....I want to make sure that we can still have a future is all." he said.
