Hi Readers: What did you guys think of the dream that I just wrote for you guys? I hope that you guys liked it and want to see more of them in the future; because I am certain that I'm going to give you more. However, I want to let you know that you can always request dreams if you want them; and I will try and give them to you. Thanks again for reading, and here we go with the next chapter.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

To say that Matt liked the dream that he just had this afternoon was an understatement, as he loved the dream that he just had while he was taking the nap; I mean, what father doesn't like the idea of dreaming about his (future) daughter. Another thing that he loves to dream about? It was the name that they were going to give their daughter, and that most definitely was something that he felt like he needed to talk to Gabby about; and that would be the name they would give their daughter, which is something that they need to talk about (again) now that they have that dream. And he just hopes that Gabby is open to that conversation because he likes the name Grace just as much as he loves the Emma. So, he's in a win-win situation. If they agree to change the name that they're going to use for their daughter, then he's going to be a happy man; and if they decide to keep using the name Emma for their daughter, then he's more than happy to do that. And now, it's exactly what he's going to say to his beautiful wife; but first, he needs her to wake up.

And let's just say that was exactly what Gabby was in the midst of doing this afternoon, while also running her hand down his muscular chest; after which, she bent down to kiss his muscular chest. And let's just say that Matt loves that feeling because it's really nice. "God, I am so glad that you just kissed my chest. It's such a nice feeling, and I am so glad that's how you woke up." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I know you love the feeling of my lips on your chest." Moving to roll over onto his side, Matt smiled as he made sure that Gabby was comfortable. "Listen, I want to lay down next to you; that way, I can cuddle up to you another way." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, glad that was what he wanted to do right now. "First, can you tell me what time it is?" Turning his head, Matt smiled when he saw that it was currently 4:50. "It's ten to five." Gabby was shocked as she heard Matt tell her that it was ten to five, as that most definitely is later than she thought it was. "Wow, it's later than I expected."

Matt agreed with Gabby as he felt the same way, not that he's really complaining; especially since it means that he gets to relax with Gabby some more, and because they can just take it easy as they lay down in each other's arms. "You comfortable?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she was comfortable, as she most definitely was comfortable. "Oh, I mist definitely am comfortable. And that's because I'm in your arms." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as he proceeded to get close to the beautiful woman he's proud to call his wife; after which, he tugged her body against his chest as they both held each other close. At the same time, Gabby put her hands on his chest and just smiled due to the fact that this is something that she loves doing; she loves being held by her husband, and it's just what she wants to do right now. She wants to hold her husband close to her, as they take it easy with each other. At the same time, Matt decided that it was time to bring something up to Gabby, the name Grace.

"So, listen, I want to bring something up with you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at the man she loves. "What's going on? You okay?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him whether everything was okay, because it was well, mostly. There was just one thing that wasn't okay, and that was the feeling that he had with regards to the name that they've already chosen for their daughter; and that's why they need to talk about that. "Well, I had a nice dream why we were taking a nap." Gabby smiled when he said that, before cuddling up to Matt once again; after which, she wrapped her arms around his muscular torso. At the same time, Matt smiled as he put his hand on Gabby's back (more specifically, her shoulder blade) before stroking it with his thumb; after which, he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that he loves her more than anything. "What do you think of the name Grace Marie Casey?" Gabby was a bit taken aback as she heard that.

"What? Where did that come from?" Matt sighed as he looked at the woman he loves, well aware of what she was thinking; she was wondering why he was thinking of changing the name that they already chose for their daughter. "Yeah, I know what you mean; you want to know what's happening in my head when it comes to why I'm thinking of changing the name of our daughter." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that most definitely was exactly what she was thinking about right now. "Yeah, so you better start talking Mr. Casey; because I want some answers, and I want to make sure that you tell me what's going on." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "I just had one of those vivid dreams." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, because it made so much sense now; this was why he wanted to talk to her about changing their daughter's name from Emma, to Grace. "So, let me guess; the name of our daughter in your dream was Grace instead of Emma?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him that, before smiling at his girl.

He then decided to just bring Gabby closer to him, before putting his hand on her leg; stroking it with his thumb shortly afterwards, Matt smiled as he was really happy with the woman he loves. "The name was Grace Marie Casey." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as she did like that name. "Yeah, I like that name; I have to say that." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before she put her hand on his cheek. After which, Matt moved his hand to her arm while leaning in to kiss the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world; and the only woman he ever wants to have children with, which is exactly what he's going to be blessed with. He's going to be blessed with many children thanks to this beautiful woman whom he's currently cuddling up to in bed, while their family takes care of their sons. "So, what are you thinking of the name that I just mentioned?" Gabby smiled as Matt asked her that, because she most definitely loves the name that he just proposed. "Oh, I most definitely do love the name that you just proposed."

Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, before looking at the woman he loves; after which, he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves (and craves) more than anything in the entire world, Matt just smirked due to the fact that this is everything that they both want. "I'm happy." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before going to grab her hand; after which, she stroked his hand and just smiled at the most handsome man in her world. And that's why they're currently in the midst of holding each other close, as they just cuddled up to each other and relaxed in bed right now. "So, what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" Gabby laughed as Matt asked her what she wanted to do for the rest of the day, as this most definitely is exactly what she wants to do for the rest of the day; she wants to cuddle up to the man she loves more than anything, but she also knows that she needs to do something for the sake of their daughter. They need to get some food in her, at least a snack.

"Well, I know that there's one thing that I need to do for you." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case. "Yeah, I know what you mean; you need to get me a snack." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before getting nice and close to her; wrapping his arm around her, Matt smiled as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what he wants to do right now; he wants to take things nice and slow with her amazing husband. "God, as much as I want to do this for the rest of the day; I think we know that I need to get a snack." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "You know, you also need to get a bit of non-sexual exercise too." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware of just what he was talking about. "I guess you want to go downstairs for a bit?" Matt shrugged. "If you're up for it. Plus, I have this weird feeling that someone else is here so spend time with us." Gabby then thought about it. "Kelly and Stella."

Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "How about I go start us a snack? You want some pasta?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she wants some pasta. "Yes, and then you can spend some time with Kelly; I want to spend a bit of time with Stella. I can't believe we haven't seen them yet." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as he leaned in and kissed her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, Matt smirked as this truly is perfect. "God, I love you so much." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that he loves her, because that most definitely is something that she knows. "Listen, I am going to get up and get dressed; then I'll go see Stella, and hang out. Meanwhile, you can see how Kelly's doing." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before leaning in so that he can kiss her again; after which, he went ahead and got up. "Maybe he's making something for Stella." Gabby agreed. "I want to spend time with them." Matt agreed. "No boys though." Gabby agreed, getting up.

After which, she proceeded to get up so that she can get dressed; then, she would be able to go visit her best friend (and her boys). "I can only assume that you're really happy that Kelly and Stella are parents now?" Gabby smiled. "I am, because I actually have a bit of a surprise for Stella." Walking over to her dresser, Gabby smiled. "You remember how I said that I had to use that ELLA budget for a prototype?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before going to walk up to his dresser; after which, he grabbed his shorts (that he already had out) before going to put them on over his boxers. At the same time, he went to grab his shirt. "Yeah, I do." Gabby then smiled as she proceeded to grab the prototype that she made for Stella, which she was going to be giving to her; a couple of them actually, for their newborn sons. "Tell me what you think of these for their twins." Watching as Gabby walked up to him, Matt did the same so that he could go ahead and grab the clothes that she was going to give to Kelly and Stella. "Some of them are used too."

Matt then went to grab the clothes that Gabby was going to give to Stella, before smiling as they are both really adorable. "I agree that you can give these to them, because they aren't clothes that were special to us." Gabby laughed. "Oh, I am not giving away any of THOSE outfits; that's something that you can be assured of." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, glad that she wasn't going to be giving away some of the outfits that were related to some of the most important times in their lives; more specifically, when they brought the boys home. "I'm glad that we're going to keep those because we can use them in the future. I don't know why but..." Gabby smiled. "You want to go for another daughter in the future?" Matt smiled. "Maybe, I'm not sure. I just have this feeling that Grace is not going to be our last child, and I can't explain why. But we will take a break." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before going to get close to him; she then wrapped her arms around him as she looked up into his eyes this (late) afternoon.

After which, Matt wrapped his arms around her and smiled as he bent down to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that he loves Gabby so much. "I love you, and I am ready to go spend some time with the boys; we need to do that, because we're here. And we need to get out of our room for a bit." Gabby agreed with Matt. "I'll send Kelly down to help you with supper, because I want to spend time with our friends." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Oh, do me a favor?" Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that. "And what's that?" Matt smirked. "Maybe you can talk Stella into letting me and Kelly share our first beer and cigar as dads today?" Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was something that they definitely do want to do with each other. "Oh, I am most definitely going to do that for you." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before kissing her softly. "Thanks baby." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before going to walk away today.
