Hi Readers: What did you guys think of the first chapter that I wrote for you guys today? Are you guys okay with the new direction that I'm taking this day? Hope you do. Thanks again for reading, and I hope you continue to enjoy the story. Here's Chapter Seventy-Five.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The conversation that Matt and Gabby had with her father about her business turned out to be quite pleasant, and quite enlightening as Matt learned some things about some of her plans that he didn't even know about; and while Gabby was excited to have finally told her husband about those plans, she couldn't help but also be a bit nervous. And that was for the simple reason that she didn't know what Matt was going to say about those plans, because she knew that they were going to have to talk about them now. Coming back into the bedroom after going to the washroom, Matt smiled as he looked at his beautiful wife this morning; and based on the way that she was sitting right now, he could tell that she was a bit worried (and tense) ahead of the conversation that they're going to have now. Just looking at his beautiful wife, Matt smiled as he wanted to do whatever he could to make sure that she takes it easy and relax. "Okay, take a breath and relax. Just relax baby and remember that everything's okay." Gabby agreed with her husband, smiling at him.

Continuing to watch as her loving husband made his way back over to their bed, clad in nothing but his boxers; Gabby couldn't help but smile over the fact that he looks really sexy right now. "I have to say, I do like the sight of you walking out in your boxers." Matt snickered, agreeing with his beautiful wife as she said that; after which, he smirked as he walked over to their bed so that he could join her. "So, are we going to lay down in bed next to each other? Or do you want to lay down on my chest?" Gabby smiled at Matt when he asked her that, loving the sound of her looking into her eyes. "Oh, I love the idea of me looking into your eyes as we relax in bed with each other." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she told him that, ready to do just that; after all, that's exactly what he wants to do as well. He wants to lay down next to her, and stare into her eyes as they hold each other close on her birthday. "I hope you know that I can always go get you some snacks, or whatever you need before I get in bed." Gabby shook her head, smiling at him.

"Hey, I'm good. I promise. So, there's no need to get me some food." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, before smiling as he climbed into bed with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "And you don't want the boys, or anything?" Gabby shook her head as Matt asked her whether she wanted the boys, as she wants to get some time alone with the man she loves. "Matt, I want you alone for a while. I mean that, so you just need to get in bed okay?" Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she told him that, before smirking as he climbed into bed with his gorgeous wife; after which, he got close to her and just smiled as he proceeded to wrap his arm around her as soon as he's in bed with the woman of his dreams. At the same time, Gabby put her hands on his chest and smirked at her dreamy husband. "How about you close the covers, then we can hold each other close as we relax in bed with each other?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, as he's more than happy to do that for her; after all, it's what he wants too.

He then proceeded to bring Gabby against his chest first and looked at his beautiful wife. "How about you slip your legs in between mine right now? Because I would really like to have your legs in between mine." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smiling as she proceeded to do just that for the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. After all, what's better than the feeling of the two of them holding each other close in bed. Plus, she wants to cuddle up to her man as they just relax with each other. "I want to relax with you on my birthday, as we talk for a bit anyways." Matt sighed as he heard Gabby say that, before slipping really close to her; after which, Gabby wrapped her arms around his torso and smiled. "Are you sure that you don't want me to lay down in my back? Then you can cuddle up to me like that?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt ask her whether she wants her on her back. "Oh, I love that idea." Matt laughed, before rolling over onto his back; afterwards, Gabby cuddled up to the man she loves more than anything.

Laying her head down on Matt's chest, Gabby smiled before turning her head and kissing it softly. Afterwards, Matt proceeded to grab the blankets so that they were nice and warm with each other (even though they live in Los Angeles). Even when they live in warm climates, the couple seem to still live as if they live in a cold climate. (Not that she would ever complain about that). Laying her head down on Matt's chest, Gabby smiled as she moved it on top of his heart so that he can listen to it beat. At the same time, Matt moved his hand to her back and smiled as he proceeded to run his fingers up and down her back; turning his head once Gabby was all cuddled up to him, Matt smiled as he kissed her forehead softly. I mean, what's better than the feeling of the two of them holding each other close. Stroking her back with his thumb shortly after they cuddled up to each other, Matt smiled as this really is perfect. The way that they're currently holding each other close, it's always exactly what she wants to do right now. He wants to hold his girl.

Heck, maybe his girls. "You know, if we have a daughter, that might mean that I have to give you a new nickname." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, before feeling him run his hand up and down her back. After which, he kissed her forehead once again due to the fact that this really is perfect; I mean, there's nothing like the feeling of the man of her dreams holding her in his arms the way that he's currently holding her right now. Just kissing her forehead once again, Matt smiled as this is really perfect. "So, we need to talk about something last time I checked." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that's most definitely the truth. I mean, they did start talking about names that they can have for their child; a child that they already believe will be a girl, which Gabby absolutely loves. "To tell you the truth, I think I really like the middle name Elizabeth. Or are we going to do Shay?" Matt smiled as he looked at Gabby. "I think I would rather do Elizabeth. I mean, that's what we did for Matteo." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that.

"What are you talking about baby?" Matt smiled as he looked down at Gabby. "When we did Matteo's middle name, we didn't use Andy's nickname; rather, we used his proper name. His name is Matteo Andrew instead of Matteo Andy." Gabby smiled as she thought about that, as that most definitely is the truth. "I still love the name that we chose for our boys. Matteo Andrew and Noah Matthew." Matt smiled as he ran his hand up and down Gabby's back. "And then I got Andy as a first name for my furry friend over there." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before turning her head to look at Andy. "Do you want him to come join us in bed?" Matt laughed as he proceeded to wrap his legs around hers, holding his beautiful wife close to him as he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "I'm leaving it up to you. Last time I checked, it's your birthday." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smiling as she laid her head down again; after which, she smiled at Andy. "Let's just let him be, he looks comfortable where he is." Matt agreed.

At the same time, he turned his head and then kissed the top of his beautiful wife's head. "Are you going to be okay with no longer being my only girl if we have a daughter?" Looking up at Matt, Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, as she will always be his girl. "Oh baby, we both know that I'm always going to be your girl." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I am more than happy over the fact that you're always going to be your girl; because that means that you're going to be the mother to my boys, and our two daughters." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling as she heard him say that; after which, Gabby felt Matt run his hand up and down her back (which made her smile). "Comfortable on my chest?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she was comfortable on his chest, which is something that will always be the truth. "Oh, I am always comfortable on your chest." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case before kissing the top of her head.

"So, what are you thinking of our life here in California so far?" Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that. "Okay, don't change the topic. We are still talking about names for our daughters." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, smiling due to the fact that they're both extremely happy right now. "So, two daughters?" Matt shrugged when Gabby asked him that. "Are you thinking that we're only going to have one daughter?" Gabby sighed. "I'm not sure. But I would rather just concentrate on the fact that we're having another daughter, a daughter who's middle name will be Elizabeth." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "Oh, I am well aware that's the case; I mean, I got Matteo Andrew. So, our daughter is going to be baby girl Elizabeth Casey. We just need to think of a first name for our hypothetical daughter, if that's what we have this time around." Gabby agreed with Matt, before smiling as she ran her hand down his toned chest. After which, she thought about something. "I think that we've been blessed though."

Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that. "Oh, I can definitely agree. With everything that we've gone through in the past two years, almost two and a half years now...I think that we've been blessed when it comes to all that we have now." Gabby smiled when she heard Matt say that. "We've been blessed by the grace of God in my opinion." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby say that, before turning his head as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. After which, he put his hand on her back and smiled as he stroked her back. "Well, I think we just figured out our daughter's name." Turning her head, Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that. "We do?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby ask him that, before running his hand up and down her back as he kissed her forehead softly; after which, he proceeded to say the name that he has on his mind right now.

"Grace Elizabeth Casey."
