Chapter Fifty-Seven: Decisions

19 1 0
By OneChicagobyA

Hi Readers:
I wanted to let you all know that I decided to merge the original Chapter Fifty-Seven that I planned to write into the original Chapter Fifty-Six that I posted for you earlier today. (Sorry for not posting as much as I normally do). I've been busy today, and I promise to try and post more over the next couple days. But for now, we're going to get back into it.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When Matt told her that he'd go back to the firehouse with her if she wanted to go back, Gabby was actually a bit shocked since she thought that Matt was done at the firehouse; heck, that wasn't the reaction to what she said that she expected at all. Rather, she expected him to say that he wasn't going to let her go back since he isn't going back; but that isn't what happened. And that was a nice thing (I guess). She really isn't sure yet whether it's a good thing that he didn't react that way, or if it's a good thing that Matt seems open to letting her go back to the firehouse. So, this truly will be an interesting conversation due to the fact that she has no idea where this conversation is going to go; nor does she know what else Matt is going to tell her about their future plans. I mean, this is already a huge change for him; as he says that he's going to go back. But that brings up a certain question, the position that he'd go back. "Baby, just a quick question." Matt agreed.

"What is it baby?" Gabby took a breath. "When you say that you'd go back if I went back...what position are you thinking about?" Matt shrugged when Gabby asked him what position he'd go back to, as he wasn't exactly sure what position he'd go back to if he were to go back to the firehouse. Turning his head, he decided to give Gabby's forehead another kiss while rubbing her back. God, just the way Gabby is laying down in his arms right now is absolutely perfect. Matt truly is very happy right now, and he's just glad that this is how they're going to spend their day. "Honestly, I'm not there yet. But we don't really have to worry about this right now baby, because it isn't going to happy anytime soon; rather, it won't be happening until the kids are older. I want to stay out for at least a year to eighteen months before I even think about going back, and I know by that time you aren't going to be ready to go back." Gabby agreed with her husband, smiling.

"Good, because I really like how we get to have all of this quality time together before we have the kids." Matt laughed as he looked down at her, pressing his lips to her forehead again before watching as Gabby looked up at him. Moving his arm to her lower back, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arm around her baby bump and put his hand on it. He then proceeded to bend down and kissed her lips softly. Stroking Matt's back as he kissed her slowly, Gabby just smiled because this is exactly what she wanted to be doing right now. God, she truly is extremely comfortable; and there's nothing better than the feeling of Matt having his arm around her, especially when he's running his hand up and down her back in this fashion. There's just something about his wedding band running itself up and down her back that makes her have goosebumps all over her body. However, it isn't making her shiver anymore; and that's due to the fact that her husband is so hot (in both ways).

Yes, he's truly a very handsome and hunky man (so, he's hot in that way). But she could swear, this man that she's very comfy cuddling up to right now could also be a room heater. He eludes so much body heat when they cuddle up to each other, that she very rarely shivers. The only time that she shivers, is when she's happy. But, Matt takes it that she's cold and just pulls the covers up on top of Gabby in a way that she can't say that she doesn't need; because it's so comfortable, and she loves having the covers on top of the both of them as well. It's very comfortable, and there's nothing better than the feeling of her loving husband running his hand up and down her back. Oh, and the covers being on top of the both of them. Then, he's stuck in bed with her for the rest of the day. God, just the idea of Matt being stuck in bed with her is perfect; because there's nowhere else that Gabby would rather have him be right now. She wants him in their bed with her today.

And though Matt already promised her that this is where he's going to be today, she still loves the idea of him being stuck together; especially when she needs to talk to him about something, baby names more specifically. I mean sure, she had the names already picked out in her dream; but she doesn't want Matt to think that they need to stick with those names. Rather, they can change the names if he wants to. So, she's going to bring that up to him right now. "Uhm, I have an idea for a topic that I'd like to talk about baby." Matt looked down at his wife when she said that, smiling at her. "Oh, do you now?" Gabby nodded, taking a breath as she looked up at her husband. "Uhm, it's the fact that we're flip flopping on the genders." Matt nodded. "Yeah, so we think we're having boys first." Gabby sighed. "Yeah, so that means that we need to talk about something; and we need to make decisions." Matt smiled. "On boy names for our kids."

Gabby laughed a bit, smiling when Matt said that; because that was exactly what they need to talk about. They need to talk about what names they want to consider for their children, as they didn't pick any out yet. "Well, I just want to say this. One of our kids are going to have the middle name Andrew. That's something that isn't up for debate." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she looked up at her loving husband. "Well, I was thinking. I have some names that we could do...and I'm kind of already in love with them." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was definitely a possibility when he went into this conversation. "So, you already have some names picked out?" Gabby sighed. "Well, not exactly. It's just a concept. I was thinking that maybe we agree to do...Hispanic first name?" Matt looked at Gabby when she said that. "I mean, why have one kid with a Hispanic first name, but now the other?" Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, completely agreeing with her when she said that it wouldn't make sense for it to happen.

Matt then proceeded to kiss her forehead, smiling as they're really working on this whole communication thing. "I think we're doing much better when it comes to this whole communication thing." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she laid her head down on his chest. "So, that's already something that I wanted to get out of the way. But then, I had another idea." Matt nodded. "What's that?" Gabby smiled. "There are two names in my head, and they are directly related to us." Matt nodded. "You want to have namesake boys? Wouldn't you rather have a daughter as a namesake?" Gabby shrugged. "The name is Gabriel. There's an angel called Gabriel, and I just...I feel like this is a blessing from God. The angel Gabriel brought Joseph and Mary a baby, and I feel like this is a real blessing because we didn't think it was safe for me to be pregnant. But, then we learned I didn't have an aneurysm...so I feel like this entire journey has been a blessing from God if that makes sense? And I just thought..." Wrapping his arm around Gabby's lower back, Matt smirked.

He then put his hand on her neck and bent down to kiss her softly, taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams; after all, he doesn't need more of an explanation than the one that she's already given him...because he understands what she's trying to tell him. "Baby, I already understand. Just take a breath and relax for me okay?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling as she was glad that Matt already knew what she was thinking. She then went ahead and laid her head down on his chest, cuddling up to him this morning. Afterwards, she smiled when she felt Matt kiss the top of her head, which was something that she always loves feeling. The way that he makes he feel so special truly is incredible, and she's glad that this is what they're in the middle of doing right now. She just wants to hold the man of her dreams close to her for the entire day, and she's sure that's what Matt wants to do as well. "Baby, I got it all." Gabby nodded when Matt told her that, smiling. "What do you think though?" Matt smiled when she asked him what he thought.

"I think your reason for the name that you chose, Gabriel; it's the perfect way for us to think about it. And I definitely think that's the names that we're going to use if we're going to have boys. I just love them so much. Plus, Gabriel isn't exactly solely a Hispanic name. Rather, it's a name that can be used by both a Hispanic family, and an English family." Gabby agreed with her loving husband when he said that, smiling as she felt the same way. "I feel the same way; and that's exactly how I want to feel about the situation, especially due to the fact that our family is going to be one of mixed races." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that. "Yeah, our kids are going to be mixed race, aren't they?" Gabby took a breath when she heard Matt say that, looking up at him; and she could clearly tell that something was a bit wrong. "Hey, you have something on your mind...don't you baby?" Matt took a breath when Gabby asked him whether he has something on his mind. "Well, there's just this one thing." Gabby agreed with Matt. "Was is it baby?" Matt took a breath as he looked at Gabby.

"I hope you're prepared for the idea that there is a possibility that our baby, if we have boys...might look like Louie." Gabby took a breath when she heard Matt say that, not having thought about that as a possibility whatsoever. Rather, she completely ignored that possibility. "Does that worry you?" Gabby shook her head when Matt asked her if it worries her. "No, because I'll already know...that our babies aren't Louie; they are our biological children, and that means that nobody can ever take them away from us." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that, smiling as that was exactly what he wanted to heart from Gabby. He didn't want to have to worry about the possibility that she would worry if they have boys, and whether they would look like Louie in the future. Because they aren't going to be Louie, they are going to be their biological children (like Gabby just said). "Sorry if I brought him up." Gabby shook her head, smiling. "It's ok baby."

Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, glad she was okay with him bringing up Louie. "Good, because I was worried about bringing him up; I'm always worried about bringing him up." Gabby agreed with her husband when he said that, understanding why that would be the case. He doesn't know how her hormones are going to play with her emotions right now. "Let me guess, you're scared of the hormones?" Matt laughed when Gabby asked him if he was scared of the hormones. "I swear, there are times where I love your hormones; but there are other times where I'm scared of them." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, well aware of just why that's the case (sex). "I think I know why that's the case." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby tell him that, because he knew the reason too. It was due to the fact that he doesn't want to loose his chance to have sex with the woman of his dreams. "What? I like my sex, sue a guy for loving the sex that he gets from his sexy, pregnant wife." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt say that, liking this conversation.

"Oh baby, I'm not going to sue you for anything; because I love it when we have sex just as much as you do, if not more." Matt looked down at Gabby when she said that. "Oh, really?" Gabby just laughed, smiling when Matt tried to tell her that he likes sex more than she does. "Baby, I'm the hormonal one right now." Matt nodded when Gabby mentioned that she's the hormonal one right now. "I know you are baby." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she's glad that they're currently just holding each other. God, she's so comfortable in her man's arms; and this truly is everything that she wants to be doing right now. She just wants to hold Matt close to her today. "So, now that we have Thanksgiving done; I can't help but wonder what Christmas is going to be like." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby say that. "God, are we already talking about Christmas?" Gabby nodded. "Yeah, I was thinking of something." Matt looked down at Gabby.

"Oh, and what might that be?" Gabby smiled. "Maybe we can spend Christmas alone." Matt looked at Gabby when she said that. "Sorry, did you just say that you want to spend Christmas alone without your family?"
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Matt thought he was dreaming, he thought that he heard wrong. Did his wife really just tell him that she wants to spend Christmas without her family? I mean, that's a big statement for her when she loves her family. Taking a breath as she ran her hand around Matt's chest, Gabby took a breath before feeling Matt run his hand up and down her back. "Baby, why are you feeling that way?" Gabby took a breath. "I'm worried, because of what happened last time we were there. I mean, what if that happens again." Matt took a breath when he heard Gabby say that, because he knew that was indeed a possibility; their family can always be quite loud, and they can also create drama quite easily. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Gabby took a breath. "As much as I hate doubting that my family can behave enough for us to be there...." Matt sighed as he looked down at Gabby, clearly aware that there is a lot that they still have to decide.

"So, you might even want to be alone with me this Christmas?" Gabby shrugged when Matt asked her whether there was a possibility that they might be alone this Christmas. "I mean, would you be okay with us being alone this Christmas?" Matt smiled as he turned his head and then kissed her forehead softly. "That sounds perfect. But where would you want to be alone?" Gabby smiled as she looked up at Matt. "Hawaii?" Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, really liking that idea. "Oh, I absolutely love that idea." Gabby smiled as she leaned up, kissing the man of her dreams. At the same time, Matt moved his hand to Gabby's back and stroked it with his thumb. Bending down, Matt just smiled as they took things nice and slow with each other. And man, this is exactly what they both want to do right now. Afterwards, Matt decided to roll over onto his side so that he could hold Gabby close to him. Tugging her against his chest, Matt smirked.

"Oh, I love it when you do that baby." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, kissing the woman of his dreams softly. He then wrapped his arm around her back, smirking as they took things nice and slow with each other the entire time that they're in bed with each other. There's nothing better than the feeling of them both holding each other close, as this is exactly what they both want to be doing right now; he just wants to take things slow with his gorgeous wife. He then proceeded to grab his wife's hand, intertwining their fingers at the same time. Now, this is just what they both want. Little did the couple know, that this was going to lead them to having some sex.
