Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters, a day that will most definitely include this story's one hundredth chapter. And that is a milestone that doesn't go unnoticed.

Thank you so much for reading my story, and I hope that you continue to enjoy the story; now, what do you say we get to it? Here's chapter ninety-seven.

This is exactly what she needed tonight, time to rest in their bed as she holds him close; and that was exactly what Matt was in the midst of setting up, the night of rest and relaxation. But what exactly is there to set up? Well, that would be the vibe that was going to be in their room. Diming the lights in their room, Matt smiled due to the fact that this was exactly how Matt wanted the room to look like right now. He wants the lights to be dimmed, and that meant that Gabby was going to be able to relax much easier; and that was due to the fact that it was going to slow her heart rate down (to a healthy level), which would mean that she wouldn't be putting their pregnancy at risk (not that Matt would ever think that his wife would do such a think). After all, both he and Gabby want to have the baby that she's currently pregnant with; and that's just fact, especially since they learned that they were (officially) having a daughter. And that most definitely is a fact that is bringing a smile to the father's face right now, because it was his dream come true. He's always wanted to have a daughter, along with some sons; and now, that's exactly what they're going to have as part of their family.
Oh, and a third son in the form of Andy. Jumping up onto his and Gabby's bed, Matt's service dog smiled as he barked at his 'patient'. Laughing a bit as he heard Andy bark at him, Matt walked over to him and smiled as he put his hand on his head; after which, he stroked the top of his head and smiled at him. And boy is he going to come in handy tonight, as he has a feeling that Andy will easily make sure that Gabby relaxes as they cuddle up to each other in bed. Scratching his head, Matt smiled as he looked at his service dog. "Hey bud, you need to do something for me, okay? You need to make sure that Gabby calms down and stays relaxed." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, walking out of the washroom in some lingerie. "Yeah, I think that you most definitely are going to be the one doing that." Turning around to look at the woman he loves more than anything, Matt smirked as he looked at her as she wore some lingerie. "God, you look great in that." Gabby laughed as she heard her husband say that, well aware that was the case. "Yeah, I think that's you trying to get me naked; after all, it seems like you decided to just wear your boxers this evening?" Matt sighed.
Looking down at his boxers, Matt agreed. "I can do something else if you want." Gabby shook her head as she heard Matt say that, as she most definitely doesn't want him to get changed; she wants him to stay in his boxers, which is exactly what she wants him to wear right now. "I want you to wear that for me right now." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, before smiling at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. After which, Matt smiled as Gabby walked over to him. Walking up to her husband, Gabby smiled as she proceeded to wrap her arms around Matt's body; at the same time, Matt wrapped his arms around her while looking down into her eyes. Running his hands up and down her back, Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves more than anything; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you; I hope you know that." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "Hey, of course I know that baby. Please, take a breath and just relax. And it's because I love you more than anything." Matt smiled as he heard that.
After which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly; wrapping his arms around her waist nice and tight, Matt smiled as he stared into Gabby's eyes. "Sorry that this isn't taking place in the hotel." Gabby shook her head as she heard Matt say that, as that was the last thing that she wanted to hear. She didn't want to hear her husband apologize to her for having come home, because this is where she wants to be to. Putting her hand on Matt's cheek, Gabby smiled as she leaned up and proceeded to kiss her softly; taking things nice and slow with the man she loves more than anything in the entire world, Gabby smirked as this is perfect. "God, I love you so much; and I am so glad that this is what we're going to do right now, just hold each other close as we relax in bed." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, smiling due to the fact that it was exactly what he wanted to do with the woman he loves right now. "Listen, I don't want to do anything that can cause us to go too far. You need to relax, as do I." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "Yeah, I actually wanted to do something anyways." Matt was confused. "What's that?"
Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "You remember those resources that we found when we were in the hospital with the boys?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, well aware of what she's talking about. "Yeah...and you want to send them to Jay and Alex?" Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that, as that was exactly what she wanted to do. "Bad idea?" Matt shook his head as he heard Gabby say that. "Hey, of course not. Now, do you want to use your laptop? Or do you want to use your iPad to send that?" Gabby smiled as Matt asked her that. "I think that we can do it on the iPad, as we cuddle up to each other. But I think you need to remember that we're going to take it easy with each other." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, as he most definitely wants to relax with her; he just wants to hold her close, and make sure that they take it easy. "Believe me when I say this Gabby, we're going to take it easy. Now, if you want me to wear a shirt..." Gabby shook her head as she heard Matt say that, before going to crash her lips. "You say that again, and you're going to be sleeping downstairs." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby tell him that.
"Yeah, sure. Because you're going to be able to sleep without me keeping our little girl calm." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "Yeah, I know what you mean." Matt nodded as he heard Gabby stay that, before stepping close to her; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "What do you say we get in bed with each other?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that, as that most definitely is exactly what she wants to do right now; she wants to relax with the man she loves in their bed, as they hold each other close. "You get in first, because I want to cuddle up to you." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, as that most definitely is exactly what he wants to do right now; he wants to hold Gabby in his arms, as they relax with each other in bed. Anyways, there's nothing like the both of them holding each other close; because it means that Matt gets to hold the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world in his arms. Oh, and their future daughter; the daughter that they want so bad, because Matt wants to have a gorgeous daughter with his beautiful wife Gabriela Marie Casey.
And speaking of Gabby, she was currently in the midst of smirking at her man as he leaned back against his pillow as he climbed into bed; that way, they would be able to cuddle up to each other really easily. "God, I love the sight of you sitting in bed like that." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, well are that was the case. "Oh, I most definitely know that's the case." I mean, what's better than your man sitting in bed like this?" Gabby shook her head as she heard Matt say that, as he is so cocky sometimes; but that doesn't mean that she doesn't love how cocky he is at times, because it really is nice. "How about you grab your phone, and put some music on through the TV?" Matt smiled, agreeing with his beautiful wife as she asked him to put some music on. At the same time, Gabby came to get in bed with the man she loves; after all, it's exactly where Matt wants her to be. He wants her to be in bed with him, as they cuddle up to each other (while relaxing). Opening the covers to her side of the bed, Gabby smiled as she crawled into bed with the man she loves more than anything in the entire world; after which, she crawled over to Matt so that she can hold him close.
Sitting down next to her loving husband this evening, Gabby smirked as she proceeded to cuddle up to him; at the same time, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arm around her and just held her close to him. But before he turned to look at his wife, Matt went to turn the music on that they wanted to listen to; and let's just say that really set the mood, and made things feel very romantic. And that was exactly what Gabby wanted right now. She wanted to have a romantic mood set up. Setting his phone back down on his beside charger, Matt smiled as he moved close to Gabby and leaned back against his pillow; after which, Gabby cuddled up to him and just smiled due to the fact that this really is everything that she wants right now.
She wants to cuddle up to the man she loves, as they hold each other close in bed; and just getting comfortable like this already made her feel happy. She is so damn comfortable in Matt's arms, and that will always be the case, which is something that Matt most definitely knows, and it's the exact reason why he always wants to sit in bed with her whenever they get a chance to hold each other close (as they are doing right now). And it's so comfortable.
Moving her hand to Matt's chest as they cuddle up to each other, Gabby smiled as she stroked it with her thumb; at the same time, she laid her head down on his chest and just cuddled up to each other. Moving his hand to Gabby's back, Matt smiled as he ran his hand up and down her back due to the fact that this is everything that the couple want to be doing right now. They want to hold each other close, and they just want to make sure that they have fun with each other. And even when they're just holding each other close in bed, they're still having fun with each other. Turning his head as he moved his hand to Gabby's back, Matt smiled as he stroked it with his thumb; at the same time, he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. And let's just say that Gabby loved that feeling, especially when it also meant that Matt ran his hand up and down her back (which he always did shortly afterwards). "God, the way you do that is just perfect." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby tell him that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I know that you like this; and I also know that this is how you're going to want me to hold you for our entire time alone, isn't that right beautiful?"
Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, as that most definitely is the case. I mean, what woman wouldn't want to have the man of her dreams hold each other close in bed? But there's something else that this gives them a chance to do, and that's talk; because she does want to talk to her husband as they hold each other close, and it's a topic that's quite important (in her opinion). Taking a breath, Gabby snuggled up to her man some more before asking him whether they can talk. "Can we talk?" Looking down at his beautiful wife as she asked him that, Matt agreed with her as they most definitely can talk to each other about anything that she needs to talk to him about. "Hey, of course we can talk Gabby. What's going on?" Gabby took a breath as she ran her hand down his chest and cuddled up to each other. "Listen, I hate that I even want to talk about this; but we need to talk right now about what some of these new developments mean." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that, unsure as to what she means. "What do you mean Gabby?" Looking up at the man she loves, Gabby took a breath. "Matt, don't lie and say that you aren't thinking about something too."
Matt was still confused as to what Gabby was even talking about, so he needed to make sure that they talk about this. "What are you talking about Gabby? Because I'm still not following what you're trying to ask me. Are you talking about the boys? The pregnancy? Our marriage? Because you're starting to worry me." Gabby took a breath as she laid her head down on Matt's chest, just holding the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "Matt, can you not see what's going to be happening in the future?" Matt's just confused right now. "Gabby, can you please just tell me what's on your mind? I can see that you have something on your mind, and I hate that you aren't talking to me right now." Gabby sighed as she agreed with her husband, well aware that he hates that they aren't talking right now; after all, it's what they need to do right now. They need to talk to each other about something. "Matt, it's about the business. Right now, Jay is in the hospital with Alex; and Kelly is a new dad, and we both know that..." Matt just looked at his wife when she said that, not happy that she things that anything is going to change. "Hey, look up at me Gabby. Please baby."
Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her to look up at him, before going to do just that. "Gabby, take a breath and relax." Gabby nodded. "Gabby, my main priority is our family, and your pregnancy. And that isn't going to change just because we have friends who have new babies and aren't going to be able to work as much right now. I promise babe." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that he wouldn't lie to her about something like this. Rather, he's telling her the truth; and he'll always tell her the truth when it comes to a conversation like this. It's a topic that's just too serious for him not to tell her the truth. Just taking a breath, Gabby cuddled up to Matt again as she relaxed in his arms; that way, they can reset ahead of them talking to each other.

After a few minutes of breathing together, Matt and Gabby were now both a lot calmer as they listened to some calming music together; and that was exactly what Matt wanted. The last thing that Matt wanted, was for her to be stressed as they talk to each other. So before they continued speaking to each other, Matt decided to just take things slow with her; sharing a sweet kiss with her, Matt smiled as he ran his hand up and down her back. "God, I love you so much." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smiling due to the fact that this is everything that she wants right now. She wants to cuddle up to her man, as they hold each other in bed. "I love you too Matt, and you just know exactly what to do so you can calm me down." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I most definitely do know that's the case. And I am so glad that you're calm right now, because I can see that you're just taking breaths; and even better, you're holding me really close." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, as she wants to hold her loving husband close to her. "Of course, I want to hold you close to me, because that's what I want to do tonight."
Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling at her. "Oh, and not just tonight; I know that you want to do it tomorrow to, other than when we have to take a walk with each other." Leaning back, Gabby was confused when she heard Matt say that they have to take a walk tomorrow. "Wait, we have to take a walk together?" Matt smiled, agreeing with his wife as she said that; after which, he turned to look at Andy. "Gabby, we have Andy." Hearing his name, Andy proceeded to bark; after which, Matt turned his head and smiled at his pup. "Hey, calm down buddy. It's okay. Yes, we're talking about you; but you're okay." Max agreed with Matt when he said that, before laying down; at the same time, Gabby turned her loving husband's head while smirking at her. After which, she leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves slowly. "God, I love you so much. And you are the woman of my dreams." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, well aware that was the case. "And that's why tomorrow, I want you to help me with something." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby tell him that. "And what's that?" Gabby smiled. "Maybe I can get you to work on ELLA?"
Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that. "Nice try, and I am not going to work on clothes; that isn't my forte." Gabby smiled as she looked at Matt. "I actually need you to do it, because I need your help with something; and believe me when I say this, you're going to want to be part of this process." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that, unaware of her plans. "What are you talking about baby?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before looking at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "Tomorrow, I was thinking that we can work on sketching some designs for our employee uniforms." Matt looked at his wife when she said that, not exactly sure what she's talking about. "Okay, I'm going to play dumb right now; because I have no idea what you're talking about." Gabby smiled as she put her hand on Matt's chest and cuddled up to him some more; after which, she slipped her legs in between his some more as she laid her head down on his heart. "Well, now that we finally have logos...I was thinking that I could make some uniforms for some people who are going to be working in the field." Matt was still a bit confused.
"Okay, can you please just tell me what you're thinking about?" Gabby smiled as she proceeded to run her hand down his chest, while also bending down so that she can kiss his chest; at the same time, Matt ran his hand up and down her arm. "I've been thinking about ways that I can help you out, because I know there are some things that you haven't thought about when it comes to your sales representatives." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh really? And what might those be?" Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she looked at the man she loves as he said that; after which, she leaned in and kissed the man she loves again. "Well, your sales representatives are going to need some uniforms when they represent the company."
Matt's POV:
As I heard Gabby say that we need to make some uniforms for the sales representatives, I couldn't help but smile; because that most definitely is something that we need to think about, and I haven't even thought about that. Turning my head, I looked at the woman I love; who just so happens to also be the woman who thought about that, as I was not the one that thought about that. God, I feel like an idiot right now. My gorgeous wife thought about this, rather than myself. "God, I really do have a genius of a wife." Gabby laughed as she heard me say that, before smiling as she stroked my chest; after which, she laid her head down again. Wrapping my arm around her back, I smiled as I turned my head. "Want me to slip down in bed some more?" Gabby agreed with me as I asked her that. "Yeah, I want to just take it easy and relax. But listen, I still want a day in bed with you tomorrow." I agreed with Gabby as she told me that, before turning my head and kissing her forehead softly; after all, that's exactly what I want to do too. "Hey, look at me."
Turning her head, Gabby agreed with me. "What is it baby?" I smiled at her. "I already promise you this. Tomorrow, you're going to get me in bed; all to yourself. And we're just going to take it easy. But I don't want to work all day, because we have something else that we can do." Gabby looked at me when I said that. "Oh, do we now?" I smiled as I heard Gabby ask me that, as we most definitely do. "Last time I checked, Emma needs some clothes." Sitting up, Gabby just looked at me as I said that. "Oh god, that's right." I smiled at Gabby as she told me that, before putting my hands on her back; after which, I leaned in and kissed my beautiful wife softly. Just taking things nice and slow with Gabby, I smirked due to the fact that she truly is the love of my life; and even better, it's due to the fact that this is exactly what I want to do right now. I want to hold my beautiful wife in my arms, as we just relax in bed this evening. "Want to just keep kissing each other until we fall asleep in each other's arms?" Gabby thought about it. "One thing first." I agreed with her.
"What is it baby?" Gabby took a breath. "Listen, I know this is going to come out of the blue. But, I want to do something for Jay and Alex. I just thought about it." I agreed with Gabby as she told me that. "And what's that?" Gabby smiled as I asked her what she wants to do. "I want to pay for their hospital stay." I smiled as I heard Gabby tell me that, as that most definitely is something that we're going to do. "Oh, we most definitely are going to do that." Gabby agreed with me as I said that, before smiling as she leaned in to kiss me softly. Taking things nice and slow with me, Gabby smirked due to the fact this is exactly what we both want. "I love you." I agreed with Gabby as she told me that, smiling at my beautiful wife. "I love you too." Gabby smiled as we both held each other close. Laying her head down on my chest, Gabby just cuddled up to me.
At the same time, I turned my head and pressed my lips to her forehead softly; which I continued to do until we fell asleep in each other's arms.
