Hello Readers: Sorry I am starting with the writing so late in the day. However, I had a couple things that I had to do prior to me starting to write. And just what might that have been? Well, I just applied to a couple jobs; so please, let's hope that I get some calls back soon. However, that's not what I need to concentrate on right now. Rather, what I need to concentrate on for you guys is writing some more chapters. Now, I hope you guys enjoy today's chapters. Thanks again for reading.

"You want to use your maiden name for your clothing line?" -Matt Casey

He was a bit perplexed and confused about this topic, the topic that they were about to have with each other; the topic that was related to the fact that his wife wanted to use her maiden name for the apparel and clothing line that she wanted to create with the help of her best friend. (Maybe). And that was really something that was perplexing to her husband, as they both agreed that she would start using her married name; especially when they are going to have children, and they all want to have the same last name. So, he's just wondering what this means for her future in using his last name? Or will this just be for her business? Or will it be with the rest of her life once again? Taking a breath, Matt looked at the woman of his dreams as he got a bit more comfortable; afterwards, he felt Gabby slip her legs in between his (which made him smile). And Matt had a feeling as to why she was doing that. She was doing it to keep his attention, and to try and get him to relax.

And the truth was, Matt was completely fine with it; after all, it was what the both of them needed right now...both for the sake of their own health, and for the sake of their boys. Putting his hand on his wife's stomach, Matt smiled as he looked at his beautiful wife before leaning in and kissing his wife softly. Putting her hand on Matt's neck, Gabby smirked as she took things nice and slow with each other; however, she knew full well that there was a reason why they were sharing a kiss like this. They were sharing a kiss as Matt was about to talk to her about something that was going to be a bit hard for her to hear, probably related to the question that Matt just asked her; the question that led to this awkward quiet that they are currently sitting in. Taking a breath, Gabby looked at her husband and just smiled at him. "You're against it?" Matt took a breath when his wife asked him that, proceeding to grab her hand before intertwining their fingers this morning.

Moving her lips to his hand, Matt kissed it and then smiled at the woman of his dreams. "So, I can only assume that you want to talk about this?" Matt took a breath when Gabby asked him whether he wants to talk about what they both just spoke about, and that being the fact that she wants to use her maiden name for her clothing line. "I guess, I am just so perplexed at the moment. I mean, we agree at first that you're going to use Casey now a days...but then, you want to use Dawson?" Gabby took a breath when she heard Matt say that, well aware that was exactly what was on his mind at the moment. She knew that was going to be the topic that they were going to be talking about after all (as she just said). "I mean, are you and Stella are even going to be partners? Or is she going to work for you?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her that, not sure what she's exactly thinking about that. "Honestly, I am not sure what I am really going to do."

Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, starting to realize that she was still trying to figure things out. "Oh, so you're just trying to figure things out." Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her that, trying to figure out what she wants to say. Clearly able to see that, Matt brought his beautiful wife close to him to give her more comfort; placing his hand on her stomach and just looked at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Hey, take a breath and just relax baby. Everything's okay." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her to relax, just taking it easy with the man that she loves. "Of course, sorry." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, hating that she felt like she needed to apologize at the same time. "Hey, you have no reason to apologize Gabby. We just both need to take it easy and relax honey." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling at the man of her dreams. "I swear, you truly are the man of my dreams."

Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, smiling at his girl as he proceeded to push a strand of heir behind her ear; which is something that he always likes to do as it makes his wife relax. And that's something (as you know) she really needs to do. Just taking a breath, Gabby looked at her husband and smiled at him. "So, how are you feeling right now? Are you taking it easy and just relaxing right now?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he asked her that. "I can ask you the same thing. I know that you had a hard day already." Matt sighed, agreeing with Gabby when she said that. "Yeah, but that's not what I'm concerned about right now. Rather, I am much more concerned about you." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as they both held each other close. She then cuddled up to him a bit more, loving how they both just held each other right now. This truly is everything that she wants and needs right now after all. Matt then smiled as he put his hand on her stomach so that they can just relax and take it easy with each other right now. "So, what are we talking about?"

Gabby smiled. "We're talking about the company right? Or the company that we want to start, right?" Matt nodded as he heard Gabby tell him what they were talking about. "I mean, what are you thinking about at the moment? I mean, you can just tell me the truth babe. What do you want to do right now? Heck, if you don't want to do this...then we can find something else that we can do with our money." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware that was the case. "Right now, I just think that I would definitely enjoy trying to start a business. It would give us something to do, while we also give back to others; we would pay people a lot of money to help us make more money." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, as he felt the same way. While he was the one who inherited the money; he knew that by starting a company, he could hire a lot of people and really make a lot of difference in many people's lives when it comes to jobs.

"I was thinking that maybe, we could even try and employ people whose lives have been impacted by natural disasters." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that, well aware of just what type of people she's talking about. "You're talking about people from Puerto Rico?" Gabby took a breath as she looked at her husband, still having part of her heart that. "Yeah, I have been trying to figure out a way to tell you..." Matt smiled at his girl, already well aware of what was happening. "That your heart is still partially in Puerto Rico." Gabby just looked down when Matt asked her that, hating that it's the truth. "Hey, look at me and take a breath. Just look at me and tell me the truth." Gabby then proceeded to do just that, looking up into her loving husband's eyes. Smiling at his girl, Matt was really happy as he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers; stroking his wife's hand with his thumb, Matt smiled as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her.

"I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that he loves her, well aware that was the case; after all, they both love each other more than anything in the entire world. "I love you too, and I hope that you know that." Matt nodded, smiling at his gorgeous wife as she said that. "Hey, of course I know that you love me baby. I mean, you are giving me a baby. Two babies." Gabby laughed, smiling as I told her that; especially since we were both extremely happy over the fact that they're going to have twins. Wrapping her arms around Matt, Gabby smiled as she cuddled up to him and just took it easy with him. Afterwards, Matt proceeded to kiss his wife's forehead this morning. Rubbing his wife's arm, Matt smiled due to the fact that this is everything that he wants right now. Matt then looked down at Gabby, smiling at her before pushing a strand of hair behind her ear; putting his hand on her neck, Matt proceeded to kiss Gabby slowly.

"I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt once again, smiling at her man. "I love you too. Now, we were talking?" Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, smiling at her. "So, we are thinking about starting a big business that your loving husband is going to be the CEO of." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt say that he's going to be the CEO, because that's going to be the truth. "Of course, you're going to be the CEO; and I'm going to be the COO of whatever company I start." Matt smiled when his wife said that, liking the idea. "Or the Deputy CEO." Gabby smiled when she heard Matt say that, looking at her man. "You know what I really like the idea of in the future?" Matt looked at his wife when she said that. "What is that?" Gabby smiled at her loving husband. "When we have daughters, they can join me in the future and then inherit it after I teach them everything that they need to know about the entire situation." Matt smirked. "I love that idea baby."

Gabby nodded as she heard Matt say that, kissing him softly. "And even better, I can get away more with my husband; and we can let our kids run the business." Matt agreed with his girl, smirking when she said that before kissing her softly. Just taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, Matt smirked at her. "You're happy, aren't you?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he asked her if she's happy. "Oh, I definitely am happy my loving husband." Matt agreed with her, smirking as he proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with his beautiful wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that he's quite happy right now. There really is nothing like the feeling of her husband kissing her slowly. "My husband is going to be such a sexy CEO, might even get lucky." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby tell him that, well aware that was the case. "Do you want to do something fun?" Gabby smiled when Matt asked her that, not wanting to do anything else.

"Baby, we already had sex; so shut up Mr. Casey." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss his wife softly. However, it wasn't long before they heard a knock on the door. Turning his head, Matt saw that Kelly was there. Pulling away from Gabby, Matt sat up and looked at his best friend. "Hey man, you okay?" Kelly took a breath when Matt asked him that. "I can't sleep, I slept on the plane. I'm just wide awake." Matt agreed with his best friend when he said that, turning his head to look at Gabby. "Is Stella awake?" Kelly shook his head when Matt asked him whether Stella was awake right now. "No, she's not." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that, before hearing Gabby. "How about you talk to Kelly about what our plans are for the money?" Kelly was confused. "What exactly are you talking about?" Matt laughed when Kelly asked him that. "Go downstairs, and we can share some whisky." Gabby agreed with Matt. "Go ahead."

Kelly then smiled, proceeding to walk away to go downstairs so that he can sit in the living room. At the same time, Matt turned his head and smiled at the woman of his dreams. Afterwards, he bent down and proceeded to kiss his beautiful wife softly. "You okay with me drinking whisky?" Gabby agreed with her husband, smiling at him. "Of course. How are you feeling now by the way? I mean, Benny..." Matt smiled. "Much better after how you made me feel." Gabby agreed with her husband again, smiling as she kissed him softly. "I love you." Matt agreed with his wife, smiling as he kissed her again. "See you later. Do some shopping." Gabby smirked when she heard Matt say that, loving the sound of that. "Oh, I am definitely going to do some shopping." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby say that, agreeing with her before going to get up. He then went to adjust himself and just smirked. "Want me to grab you my laptop?" Gabby shook her head.

"I'll use my iPad, but you can bring your laptop down in case you guys decide to write stuff down." Matt smiled when she said that, agreeing with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world before going to grab his laptop this morning; the laptop that he was going to use to create a company in the future. Well, only after he talks to his best friend.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It wasn't long before the future CEO made his way down to the main floor of his and Gabby's home where his best friend was waiting for him so that they could talk. At least, he hopes that they can talk; as he wants to just make sure that Kelly is doing okay. Walking into the living room, Matt smiled as he proceeded to set his laptop down on the living room table so that he can walk over to his best friend. Afterwards, Matt smiled as he proceeded to walk over to his best friend as he could tell that something else was going on. So, he decided that he needed to get them some drinks; however he also realized that something else was going on. There's just something about his body language that told him that he needed to talk to his best friend about, walking out of his home and onto the back porch so that he can talk to his best friend. Just looking at the man who seemed a bit sad, Matt took a breath. "Ok. I can tell that this isn't just related to the fact that your dad died."

Kelly took a breath when he heard Matt say that, well aware that he can read him better. He then turned to look at his best friend and just sighed as he went to walk over to the couch that he had on the back porch of his home. He just needs to take it easy and think about everything that's going on. More specifically, the news that he and Stella got right before they came here; it was actually why he asked to come here for Christmas. Yes, there's another reason other than the fact that his dad died; and that's something that both Matt and Gabby didn't know about. It's something that he needs to get a distraction from, as he didn't even know it was going to happen in the first place; nor did he expect that this was going to happen. But if there's anybody that he can talk to about this, then it would be Matt as he'd experienced this before. He just hates that he needs to talk to him about it while his wife is pregnant with their first child. He then took a breath.

Seeing that his best friend was still quiet, Matt then proceeded to come out onto the back porch and just looked at his friend. "Kelly?" Kelly then looked up and just took a breath when Matt came out. "Man, you look like a mess. If you were wearing mascara, then you would have it all over your face." Kelly took a breath when he heard Matt say that, going to wipe his eyes. "Sorry." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that, before seeing him shake his head. "Hey, don't apologize for anything. What's going on man?" Sitting down on one of the chairs out here, Matt looked at his best friend; his friend whom he was quite concerned about right now. He could just see that something was going on with his best friend. "Hey, what's going on man." Kelly then turned his head, and just looked at his best friend. "Me and Stella were just talking, and I blew up at her over something." Matt just looked at his friend. "Something about how you're grieving?" Kelly sighed.

"No, that's not at all; and I hate what I told her." Matt was confused. "What is it?" Kelly then looked at his best friend, proceeding to tell him just what was going on between the both of them right now.

"Stella miscarried our first kid on December 19th."
