Well, if that wasn't a big turn of events. What are you guys thinking of the way I'm taking this story? I hope that you guys are enjoying this and are ready for some more chapters similar to those. But now, I wanted to let you know that I have decided to skip past supper since there's not much that will happen during it; and that was due to the fact that it's just going to be Matt and Gabby. But instead of covering supper, I am going to show off something a bit more adorable. How you guys like what's happening this chapter.
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The supper that Matt and Gabby enjoyed this evening was incredible, and they were really happy that they got to spend some time with their extended family; in fact, they were even blessed with Christie and Violet's presence for supper tonight. And that was fun, because they had a bunch of laughs as a family; but those laughs (unfortunately) didn't get to spend some time with their best friends, but they understood. They understood that they wanted to be alone, as Kelly and Stella needed to talk; and they also needed to take some time with their boys. So, they decided to do the same thing. They decided to take some time with their own sons (Matteo and Noah), and just spend a bit of time cuddling up to them; and at the same time, they're also going to watch a bit of TV together now that their boys are ready for bed. Well, they were dressed for bed at least; they still had to do one last thing before they were all ready for bed, and that was that they had to feed them some bottles. And they both knew that they were going to enjoy doing that, as it meant that it would give them some time to cuddle as a family, something that Gabby always enjoys doing with their little boys.

But that time hasn't started yet, as they were still missing a big part of their family; and that would be Matt, who still had to join them. But now, that was something that Matt was now ready to do, as he was now walking out of the closet in his (tight) boxers. And that was due to the fact that he had to strip down, after their boys decided that it would be more fun to splash daddy with the bath water (rather than keep it in the bath so that he can wash them with it). Looking at his wonderful family as he walked out of the closet, Matt couldn't help but smile as he really is lucky to have these wonderful people in his life; yet, that didn't mean that Matt wasn't going to take the chance to make a joke. "I swear, I think that you spoke the boys ahead of me giving them a bath; and you told them to splash me, that way you could have me in my boxers as soon as possible." Turning her head, Gabby smirked at the man she loves. After all, she does like the sight of her husband clad in noting but his (tight) boxers; and she'll always love that sight, because her man is very sexy. "You won't hear me complaining though, because I most certainly love the sight of my sexy husband just wearing his boxers."

Matt laughed a bit as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case; after all, she does always stare at him whenever he's cladded in nothing but his boxers. Making his way over to his side of the bed (where Matteo is currently waiting for him), Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves. "I can only assume that you want me to feed my namesake?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she wants him to feed his namesake, especially since they are very adorable when they cuddle up to each other in bed. "Yes, I do; and that's due to the fact that I love it when you and Matteo cuddle up to each other in bed, because you are very adorable together." Matt smirked as Gabby said that. "I don't think that's the only thing that you like though." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unaware of what he meant. "What do you mean by that?" Moving to put his hands next to Matteo on the bed, Matt smiled as he leaned over him and just smiled. "Isn't mommy funny Matteo? Playing dumb when it comes to the obvious thing that she loves to look at each and every day, whenever I walk around our room." Gabby just looked at her husband.

"Careful Matthew, because we both know that I can always put something on top of my lingerie; the lingerie that you like to see me wear, when we cuddle up to each other in bed." Looking up at Gabby as she said that, Matt smirked. "I think we both know that you won't do that, because you love seeing me in my boxers; and you know that I can easily put shorts on if you put someone on top of that sexy lingerie of yours." That's when Gabby realized what Matt was talking about. "Oh, that's what you were talking about?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before setting his phone down on his side table and deciding to make his way back over to his dresser; after all, there was something that he still needed to do before he climbed into bed. Grabbing his deodorant so that he can put it on this evening, Matt smiled as he opened it before turning around to look at Gabby. "Sorry, I know you want me in bed; but I need to do this first so that I smell good for you." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, really happy that they just did that. "Oh, I love the fact that you just put your deodorant on. Thanks baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at his girl.

At the same time, Gabby looked at both of their boys as she thought about something that she needs to ask Matt. "Just curious, are the boys going to be sleeping in here tonight? Or are we going to be bringing them to their nursery?" Matt bit his lip as Gabby asked him that, as he wasn't sure what they were going to do. He then looked at the woman he loves, taking a breath. "I think I'm going to leave that decision up to you. Do you want the boys to stay in here with us? Or do you want them to go to their nursery?" Gabby then went ahead and looked at Matt's side of the bed, sending him the silent message that she wants him to join her in bed; that way, they can talk about this as they relax in bed with each other. After all, that was the best way for them to talk about this. It was for them to just relax in bed and talk to each other. Agreeing with Gabby as she asked him to join her in bed, Matt smiled as he made his way over to her so that they can get in bed together; after all, this is exactly what they both want to do with each other. They want to relax in bed with each other (and their boys), as they feed them this evening; that's always a lot of fun, and it makes him really happy.

"Thanks for getting a bottle out for me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he thanked her for getting a bottle out for him, before smiling. "It's my pleasure. Just means that you need to get them later." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, before putting his hands on the bed next to Matteo. Leaning over him, Matt smiled as he looked at his baby boy (and namesake). "Hi Matteo, where do you want to sleep tonight?" Matt then smiled as he bent down and started to leave kisses on his cheek (and neck), which tickles him; at the same time, Gabby couldn't help but smile. After all, her husband is always really adorable when he plays with their sons this way. "God, you are so adorable." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, smiling as he looked up at her. "So, what are you thinking about right now?" Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt ask her what she's thinking about, because it's something that she knows that Matt doesn't really want her to worry about. "Do you need me to get in bed with you so that we can talk about it?" Sighing, Gabby nodded as she most definitely does want Matt to join her in bed; she wants him to join her, so they can talk.

"Do you mind?" Matt smiled as Gabby asked him whether he minds joining her in bed, because he most definitely doesn't mind joining her in bed; after all, he does want to relax in bed too. "Hey, I want to relax in bed too. So, of course I don't mind joining you in bed." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before watching as he proceeded to pick Matteo up in his arms. Smiling as he picked him up, Matt looked at the beautiful baby boy that he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Hey Matteo. You ready to have daddy feed you tonight?" Matt then leaned in and kissed his son's cheek while bringing him close to his chest; after which, he opened up the covers to his and Gabby's bed. That way, he could sit down with Gabby and Noah; because this is what he wants to do tonight, just cuddle up to the family of his dreams. The family that will (someday) include his beautiful daughter Grace. Climbing into bed with Matteo, Matt smiled as he was now ready to just take it easy with his family; and that was due to the fact that this is everything that the couple have ever wanted in life. They want to have children, and they want to have each other; and they have that forever.

Leaning back against his pillow while holding Matteo in his arm, Matt smiled as he cuddled up to him and looked at his beautiful baby boy; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss his forehead softly. "Hi handsome, you ready to just have a nice bottle with daddy?" Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, before turning to look at him. "If that wasn't so damn adorable, then I wouldn't want you to keep saying that; however, there is something else that I want to do while we're sitting here." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that, unsure of what she was talking to him about. "And what's that baby?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her what she needs to talk to him about, but she then decided to just let it blow over; and that was due to the fact that it didn't really matter to them. "You know what, never mind." Shaking his head when he heard Gabby say that, Matt sighed as he started to feed Matteo; after which, he proceeded to speak to Gabby as he wasn't going to let her not talk to him. "Okay, now that isn't going to happen; you aren't going to just shut down and not talk to me. So, open up to me baby." Gabby agreed with Matt, sighing.

"First, I'm going to say this. I already talked to my mom this evening after supper, and she agreed to watch the boys tomorrow morning if you want to do some work while I go to Industry." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before turning his head to look down at Matteo. "I think you mean we; we're going to go to Industry together." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "So, you're going to join me?" Matt smiled as Gabby asked him whether he was going to join her at her meeting for fabrics. "Gabby, of course I want to join you. I want to be there with you, because I know that you're going to be all nervous; and you're not going to know what you want to do, plus I'm not going to give up a chance to go on a date with my wife." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that. "Oh, you are not calling this a date; you are not getting away with that." Matt shook his head. "Oh, I'm taking you out to lunch after. And maybe we can even stop at the hospital again tomorrow, go see Jay and Alex." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, loving that idea. "Plus, somebody needs to represent Casey Fire. We're using the same material for the jackets that we're going to manufacture."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that most definitely is the truth. "Yeah, that's right. Sorry, I forgot about that. So, tomorrow is going to be a day where we can go out for a while." Matt smiled, agreeing with the woman he loves as she said that. "Maybe we can even go out and have fun again. I know we just went out a few weeks ago but...." Gabby smiled. "Nice tr, you can have sex here mister Casey." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I know, and I am more than okay with us just having fun here." Gabby smiled as she was glad that was the case, and it's going to be really nice; them just spending some sweet time with each other, even if it's business time. "I just hope you know that, I don't care if it's business meetings; as long as we get to spend some quality time together." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that. "Plus, there's another reason I want to go to the meeting with you." Gabby smirked. "Oh really?" Matt smirked. "That's due to the fact that you're pregnant with our daughter, and you need someone with you to make sure that you're okay." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she liked that idea.

"By the way, I want to see you in a tight dress during our meeting tomorrow." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was something that he was enjoying; and the truth was, she would like that idea. "I love that idea too, and I can't wait to give you exactly what you want. But can you give me what I want, and that would be some time in the shower with you?" Matt smiled. "I know, you need help when it comes to washing up." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as that most certainly is the case. "Okay, now let's just concentrate on feeding the boys; then we can take it easy until we fall asleep in each other's arms." Matt smiled, agreeing with the woman he loves, as that most definitely is something that he wants to do right now; he wants to hold her close tonight.
