Hello Readers, and welcome to another day of chapters. I truly hope that you guys enjoyed yesterdays' chapters, and are ready for a bunch more chapters that I truly believe you guys are going to enjoy just as much today. But before we begin, I just want to know your guys' opinion on the story so far; and what you guys are thinking when it comes to where I am taking the couples. Whether you think that there might be some ways that I can explain things better. And of course, whether you guys have questions in general about some things that I am writing in the story. Whether it be about the status of some projects, or some other things; I would love to hear that.
And not just because it will allow me to give you the answers that you guys want in a note (like this one), but it could lead to me having an entire chapter that's dedicated to me trying to answer that question for you guys; and that could actually lead to other storylines that I may not have even thought of at the time, which may definitely allow me to make this story longer. I hope that you guys know that I want to write this story for as long as I can, and your support for this story means everything to me. I see all of you guys reading this story after each and every update, and I see that many of you guys vote for this story; and I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I say that those votes give me the courage to continue writing this story for you guys. Yes, the courage to write the story.
And I want to give you a bit of background as to why I am saying the courage. I say courage, as there have been times where I have been questioning my ability to write at times; and I have had writer's block as well. But recently, I have been able to just continue with writing this story with ease; and I am so glad that this is the case now, as I really am enjoying the story that I'm writing for all of you. But now, I am not going to write this note any longer when you guys want to get back to the story. So, here's number Twenty-One.

She was currently in the midst of sitting down on the edge of the bath, the bath that her husband had one of his staff draw for the both of them while checking the temperature of the rose-filled water; water where she and her loving husband would soon be sitting together, as they just took it easy with (another) glass of wine. Yes, Gabby asked Matt to get her another glass of wine; after all, she hasn't really been able to enjoy wine for months. And now that she's had some, she doesn't want to give it up anymore. However, she does know that she can't; and that's due to her boys, the boys whose pictures she was currently looking at. She made a promise to herself (and her boys) that she would exclusively breastfeed them for six months (as is recommended by the WHO), and that she wouldn't give up on that pledge; after all, that was something that she's always wanted to do. However, drinking all this wine again sure has made her want to stop breastfeeding; but she already knows that she won't, and Matt knows that too apparently.
"It's tempting right?" Turning around to look at her husband while sitting on the edge of the bath, Gabby smiled at him as he walked in carrying a fresh pair a boxers while clad in nothing but a towel. "Oh, the bath definitely is tempting, but so is the sight of my husband in his towel." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby say that, before moving to set his (fresh) boxers on the counter next to her lingerie; he then went to look at it, and just smirked as it looks really sexy. Matt then picked it up to show his wife the lingerie that she was going to wear, wear for him tonight and tomorrow. "Really?" Smiling as Matt asked her if she was going to wear that lingerie, a sexy pink bodysuit that she recently bought from Victoria's Secret; which she was definitely going to point out to her husband, the store at which she purchased said bodysuit. "Look at the label." Matt was a bit confused as Gabby said that, before turning around the lingerie and checking to see what label is on the garment; which led him to smirk as he looked up at his wife once again, as he loved it.
Setting the lingerie back down on the counter next to his boxers, Matt smiled as he walked over to the woman he loves more than anything so that he can help her up. "Oh, you sure are such a tease Ms. Casey." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt tell her that. Moving to put his hands out, Matt smiled as he wanted Gabby to get up; seeing that Matt wanted her to get up, Gabby smiled as she did just that and made her way over to her. She then moved her hands to his chest while Matt wrapped his arms around her this evening, which was definitely something that she enjoyed; and that she showed him as she looked up into his eyes. Stepping nice and close to his girl, Matt smiled as he bent down and kissed his beautiful wife softly; the woman he loves more than anything in the entire wife, his girl. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that. "Because of the lingerie?" Matt shook his head when Gabby said that, before pressing his lips to her forehead. "For what you're going to do for us and our family." Gabby was confused when Matt said that.
"What do you mean baby?" Matt smiled as Gabby asked him what he meant. "Listen, what do you say we get in the bath? We can just enjoy it, I can give you a massage; and I can also explain what I mean, as I can see that you're confused." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before rubbing his chest. She then leaned up, and just smiled as she went ahead and kissed him softly. "Thank you for getting the staff to do this." Matt smiled. "I just want to say though, I was the one who came up with the idea." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware of that fact. "Hey, I didn't doubt that for a second baby. I know that you came up with the idea, because you had to give the staff the key to our room." Matt smiled, agreeing with Gabby as she said that; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Just taking things slow with his beautiful wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that he truly was extremely happy with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. She truly is the love of his life after all.
"Listen, as much as I want to just keep kissing you; there's something else that I would much rather do with you right now Gabby." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt tell her that, as she was well aware of that fact. "Oh trust me, I know that you want to get in the bath with me; because then, it means that you get even closer to getting me in lingerie." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby tell him that, because him getting her in lingerie was definitely something that the husband wanted. But it wasn't his main priority, as he'd much rather just be romantic with the woman he loves more than anything than be sexy with her; and he really hopes that Gabby knows that. "Hey, I hope you know that; as much as I love being all sexy with you, I would much rather just hold you in my arms and spend time with you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smiling as she knew that was the case. "Hey, of course I know that Matt." Matt smiled as he put his hands on her arms and then bent down so that he could kiss his wife again. "I've missed you."
Matt just smiled as he heard Gabby tell him that she's missed him, because he's missed her too. "You mean the alone time that we get with each other?" Gabby sighed, before looking down. "Does that make me a bad mom?" Matt was shocked when he heard Gabby ask him whether that makes her a bad mom, before moving his hand to her neck so that he can dispel that belief that she has in her mind right now; because if there was one thing that he never wanted his wife to ask him, is if she was a bad mom. She could never be one.
Matt's POV:
As I looked into Gabby's eyes, I truly was shocked that my girl would ever think that she's a bad mom; because that's the last thing that she'll ever be, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Putting my hand on her neck, I stroked her cheek while looking into my beautiful wife's eyes. "Hey, I never want to hear you say that ever again Gabby. Gabby, you're an amazing mother; and you've always been an amazing mother. I've always known that you'd be an amazing mother, and I am so proud of the fact that I'm the man who gets to raise children with you; especially from the start of your motherhood journey. Gabby, watching you be a mom again has been an amazing experience; and I am in awe over how good you're doing, especially when this is not the life that we could've ever predicted we have when we started to raise our family. I mean, we go from an RV trying to repair our marriage, to currently being on a yacht that we own within eight months. What are the odds that's the case?" Gabby smiled when she heard me say that, as it was a lot.
"And yet, you've done it with ease, and you've done it while doing everything you possibly can to make sure that our family stays first. Sure, there have been times where we've hit rough patches; but we're still here, and I am so lucky to be the man who has you by his side. And not just by his side, but as the woman who is not just his wife; but who just so happens to also be his biggest partner in life, and the best mother of his children that he could ever want." Gabby smiled as I told her that, clearly hearing the honesty that was currently in my voice. Moving my hand to her neck, I smiled as I bent down and then proceeded to kiss the woman I love more than anything this evening. "Listen, I don't know about you but...I think it's time for the both of us to get in the bath, and just relax. Maybe we can relax here? But afterwards, I want to talk about what you just said in bed okay? Right now, I want to take it easy as we relax in the bath. It's what we need right now." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she got close to me and just held me close.
Bending down, I smiled as I kissed the top of her head. After which, Gabby looked up at me and just smiled due to the fact that we're both really happy. Bending down, I smiled as I went ahead and kissed Gabby nice and slowly. Just taking things nice and slow with me, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around my back. "Listen, I'm going to get in the..." That's when I felt Gabby take off my towel for me, smirking the entire time. "Oh, you naughty girl." Gabby laughed as I said that, before moving to rub my chest. "Just get in the bath and get comfortable." I shook my head when Gabby said that, as there was something that I planned on doing first. Grabbing my towel from her, I went to go hang it up on my hook (which was next to hers). "Not yet, because we both know there's something else." Gabby smiled when I said that, before watching as I went to take off her robe; that way, we can get in the bath with each other. And boy was I glad that I took off her robe, as she looks incredible. Hanging it up shortly afterwards, I smiled as I brought Gabby close.
Putting her hands on my arms, Gabby smiled as she leaned up and then kissed me softly; just taking things slow with my girl, I smiled as I looked at her. "Listen, let's get in the bath; then we can just relax and take it easy with each other as we talk in bed." Gabby agreed with me as I said that, smiling as I went to grab her hand so that I could take her into the bath; the bath where we're just going to relax, and not talk about the huge lie that she just mentioned. Believe me when I say this, Gabby is a much better mom than she could ever think. And I am going to make sure that she knows that by the time we fall asleep tonight.
