New Beginnings Season 2: Raising our Family (ABANDONED)

December 6th, 2020

The Next Morning:
Matt's POV - Part 1:
As I wake up in bed with Gabby the next morning, I can't help but smile because this is a literal flashback to a year earlier. Sure, I left early that morning...but I regret it. I should have never left. I should have went to Puerto Rico with her a year ago. But now that we are here together, I feel the ways I almost ruined our happiness was worth it. We have kids, we are married again and we are expecting another daughter. To have all that happen within a year is something that I could've never imagined. Just laying still because I didn't want to wake Gabby up, I couldn't help but put my hand on her arm and rub it. She is so beautiful when she is naked in my arms and I definitely was not going to miss the sight...especially while she is pregnant.

Going to kiss her forehead as I held her in my arms, I smiled because this was exactly what I wanted to be doing right now. I just want to hold Gabby in my arms and keep her safe. I want to make her feel loved and safe in my arms for the rest of her life. Still, I just hate that I haven't made her feel happy here for a while. I missed all the signs again but...I am just glad that I am doing something about it this time around. My life will never be here if it is not where Gabby is happy. And honestly, I am ready to start this new adventure with her and our kids. Moving to Puerto Rico sounds like the perfect move for our family and I am so excited for it. It's cool. Still, it also makes me wonder what our life would've been had I moved to Puerto Rico in the first place.

Well, they always do say that hindsight is 2020. I am glad to be here with her and I am so glad to be her husband. There is nothing more important to me right now than to make sure that she is happy. And that starts with us moving (with our kids) to Puerto Rico. But first, I need to just take in this gorgeous sight...called my naked wife sleeping on my chest this morning. Continuing to rub her back, I just hope that I don't wake her up this morning because she looks so peaceful right now. I want her to just rest and relax. And right now, that is what it looks like she is doing. God, I still think that she is the most gorgeous woman in the entire world and I am so lucky to be her husband. I love her more than anything in the entire world and always will.

That's when I started to feel Gabby stroke the side of my chest. She always did this when we were laying down in bed together...whether it be naked or semi-naked, it was a way for her to just calm down and take in what happened last night. Moving to stroke her back with my thumb...I then proceeded to kiss the top of her head and just smiled at her. "You need to get up at all to go to the washroom or are you good?" Gabby smiled when I asked her that before looking up at me. "I'm fine Matt. Honestly, I am past that remember?" I nodded and agreed with her when she said that. "Good, because I do not want you to go anywhere. However, I do want you to kiss me now." Gabby laughed and smiled when I said that because she wanted it too.

Bending down, she went to kiss me and I just smiled as I went to put my hand on her neck. Taking it slow with her, I couldn't help but smile because this is exactly what I want to be doing right now. Gabby was the most beautiful woman in the entire world and I just wanted her to take it slow with me right now. Nothing could replace how I was feeling right now...even if we had the kids with us. "We still going out today to do that shopping? Because last time I checked, we only had the morning." Gabby bit her lip when I asked her that. "Is it selfish that I want to take another night here? I want to just be with you rather than the kids. That sounds so wrong but..." I just shook my head when hse said that. "Hey, take a breath and relax okay? Is it the truth?"
