Casey Headquarters – Floor 29: Primary Suite, Casey Penthouse
She wasn't expecting anybody to be in their room today, as she came out of the elevator with Andy (and some of their bags); which was the entire reason why Gabby didn't call, as she was hoping to take a minute to breathe and relax before she gets bombarded with others. But it turned out that was not going to be the case, as there were currently two people "I hope you know that I really appreciate you guys letting me do this today Camila, I know that Matt and Gabby are currently at their big house celebrating their anniversary..." Camila laughed as she heard Natalie say that. "You wanted to come here, and practice for a bit?" Natalie agreed with Camila as she asked her that. "I only have five months to learn everything I can, before I give birth to me and Will's son." That's when Gabby decided to mention that she was here. "Let me guess, you guys are currently in a fight right now; and that's why you decided to come here, and get some practice with my boys?" Turning their heads, Natalie and Camila were both surprised to hear Gabby.

"Gabriela, is everything okay?" Gabby agreed with her mom as she asked her whether everything was okay because it was. "Don't worry mom, everything's fine." Walking in with Andy's bed, Gabby carried it over to Matt's side of the bed (where he always sleeps) before smiling at her family. More specifically, she was smiling at Matteo; as he was the baby the Natalie was currently holding, as she sat down on Matt's side of the bed. "Hi Matteo. Yeah, you like cuddling up to Aunt Natalie." Gabby then proceeded to kiss his forehead and smiled at Natalie. "How are you feeling Natalie? Still having tough morning sickness, or is it finally done?" Natalie smiled. "Luckily, I'm finally past that." Camila then looked at her daughter. "Okay, back to what's going on. What are you doing here sweetheart? Is everything okay?" Gabby agreed with her mom as she asked her that because everything was fine. "Everything's fine mom. We were just missing the boys, and decided to come be with them; plus, Matt wants to be here too. We miss our sons." Camila agreed.

"Okay then, do you want me to do anything? I can move out of the bedroom and go back to my place; I've been staying here, because we've been taking care of the boys here." Gabby smiled as she heard her mom say that, as that was definitely something that she likes the sound of. "I would appreciate that, but not yet. Right now, I can smell some lasagna downstairs." Camila laughed. "Our homemade recipe, your father and Nancy are taking care of it." Gabby agreed with her mom as she said that. "Okay. Well, I can trust them both. Listen, can I trust you guys with Andy? I am going to get changed, and just take off some of my makeup; I forgot my makeup remover here, and I need to replace it at the big house. But yeah, we're going to be here tonight mom, and for the rest of the week." Camila agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Have a good anniversary last night?" Gabby smiled. "It was incredible, please remind Matt to put all of the leftovers in the fridge so that we can eat them." Camila agreed with her daughter as she said that. "Of course, sweetheart."

Gabby agreed with her mom as she said that, before walking into the bathroom so that she can go get changed and be comfortable. At the same time, Natalie turned to look at Camila. "Looks like I have no excuse to stay here anymore, but I appreciate all of the perspective that you gave me Camila." Camila agreed with the future mother as she said that, smiling at her. "It's my pleasure sweetheart, you can always come for advice whenever you want some; I mean, not like I'm busy other than being a grandmother." Natalie snickered a bit as she heard Camila say that, well aware that was the case. "I guess I just needed some perspective on everything, and how stupid this fight was." And it was as if someone just knew that it was time for someone else to come upstairs, and that would be Matt. "Oh god, what did Will do now?" Looking at her friend as he said that, Natalie smiled. "Hey, how'd last night go?" Matt smiled. "Things went really good, and I'm glad that we're going to be here right now." Natalie agreed with Matt.

"I'm just happy to be back with the boys." Making his way over to his dresser, Matt smiled as he went ahead and went to set some of his bags down. "is there any reason that you guys chose to come back and be with the boys?" Turning to look at Natalie as she asked him that, Matt smiled. "We just missed our little guys, and I wanted to spend tomorrow; all of tomorrow with them in case I need to work this week. However, I'm glad you're here...because I'm hoping that I can talk to you quick. I know that you're giving birth in May. And I know that this is asking a lot but..." Natalie smiled as she looked at her friend. "You want to have me there when Gabby gives birth?" Matt took a breath as he heard Natalie say that. "As much as I trust the doctors at the hospital, I would really appreciate it if we had somebody that we've known for a very long time there with us." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that. "I promise, I'll talk to Will about it. Remember, I do need to consult my husband about it." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, smiling at her.

"Of course, I understand that due to the fact that I would want Gabby to do the same. But if you can't, then I would like you to find somebody if you can trust; then we'll trust them." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that, because that was something that she can most definitely do for him. "I can do that for you Matt, I promise. But listen, maybe you should talk to your wife about all of this before you talk to me about this." Hearing Natalie say that, Gabby popped her head out. "Oh, I would much rather you be there anyways. In fact, maybe you can stay here for a moment; and we can talk. Matt, how about you take over for my mom; and she can take a break and relax, because she's been taking care of them for us for a while. And when I'm done getting changed, I can come hold our sons. Mom, can you guys let us know when supper is ready? We're going to take a minute with our friend so that we can talk." Camila agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that was something that she can most definitely do for her daughter. "Of course, sweetheart."

Climbing into bed with their friend shortly after getting changed, Gabby smiled as she held Noah close to her; the little boy having just been placed in her arms by her mother, which is something that she was thankful for. "Thanks mom." Camila agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at her beautiful daughter. "It was my pleasure sweetheart, and I am so glad that you're home. Now, I am going to go take care of supper with Nancy." Gabby agreed with her mom as she said that, glad that she was going to do that. Walking out of their room today, Camila smiled as she proceeded to make her way downstairs to help with supper; that way, Matt and Gabby can speak to their friend about something that they need to talk about. But first, Matt was going to grab Matteo from Natalie, who just got up from their bed. "Here, how about you sit down Matt? That way, you can be comfortable." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, while also walking over to her so that he can grab Matteo from her. "At the same time, I want to grab my little man here too."

Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I already knew that was the case the moment you came in here." Matt smiled as he heard Natalie say that, while walking up to her and Matteo. He then proceeded to pick him up in his arms, smiling at his son as he brought him close; kissing his cheek afterwards, Matt smiled at his baby boy. "Hi buddy, I heard that you're crawling now. Yeah, is someone crawling." Going to kiss his cheek, Matt smiled as he held Matteo close to him; and let's just say that made both of the women in the room smile, especially Gabby. She loves how Matt spends time with the boys, and it's just so damn adorable; but at the same time, Natalie smiled as she just heard that their sons are crawling. "So, they're crawling now?" Turning around, Matt agreed with Natalie as she asked him whether the boys are crawling now. "We just got a video about it recently; and god, it was the most adorable thing in the entire world. We just hate that we missed it." Gabby agreed with Matt and smiled.

"I think it was another reason why I wanted to come home to tell you the truth." Turning his head, Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, having had a feeling that was the case. "Yeah, I figured that was the case." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before watching as he climbed into bed with Matteo. Sitting down, Matt smiled as he leaned back against his pillow and just cuddled up to his son (while laying him down on his chest); at the same time, Natalie walked over to the recliner that they have in their room. The recliner that they had from when the boys were younger, and when Gabby was still breastfeeding. "God, I remember that chair; I used it for breastfeeding when the boys were babies." Natalie was a bit confused as she heard Gabby say that. "You don't sit in it anymore?" Taking a breath, Gabby looked at their friend. "Because of the whole press problem, we've been staying away from here." Natalie agreed with their friends as they reminded her of that, well aware of what they were talking about. "Right, forgot."

Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, well aware that was something that you can forgot. "Believe me, there are times that I wish I could forget; it's still a nightmare of mine." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before going to grab his hand. "I want you to tell me if you have PTSD about it while we're here, okay baby? We aren't going to stay here if you have PTSD about it." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "That reminds me, I think I need to go check my medication about it." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that. "I think that you should, you need to make sure that you're on top of all that stuff Matt." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I know Dr. Natalie; you can take a breath and just be our friend for now." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that, because that was exactly what she was here to do right now; she was here as their friend, while also enjoying this recliner. "Okay, you need to tell me where you got this recliner. I want it for me and Will's nursery that we just started making."

Gabby agreed. "Homeworld, Mitchiner Collection by Signature Design by Ashley, Rocker Recliner." Natalie agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at her. "Well, I am going to have to be reminded of that. Maybe text it to me when you get a chance?" Gabby agreed with Natalie as she said that, as she most definitely could do that for her. "Of course. But now, back to what we were talking about." Natalie agreed. "What are we talking about anyways?" Gabby sighed. "It's about when we give birth to the boys." Turning his head, Matt smiled. "I already asked Natalie, and she said that she's going to talk to Will about it." Natalie agreed with Gabby as she said that. "However, I have a feeling that he'll understand due to the scenario that you guys find yourselves in; he's going to want to help you, by letting me help you through that hard time." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, really appreciative for that. "If you do that for us, then you are definitely up for a godmother position." Smiling as she heard Matt say that, Gabby really liked that idea. "Definitely."

Natalie smirked. "Just don't expect the same with Owen." Matt agreed. "By the way, you need any clothes while we're here?" Natalie smiled. "I already have clothes coming from Jay. Oh, you guys should ask him for Olivia's clothes." Gabby agreed. "Already done. I told them that I want to have some of Olivia's clothes, in return for us giving them some of the boys' clothes." Natalie agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that was a good deal. "Good deal." Gabby snickered. "Are you kidding? Great deal. We have some really nice clothes, not that we really splurged. We decided to just shop within our means if we were still public servants." Natalie agreed with Gabby as she said that. "I can see that. You guys are really not going too above in beyond when it comes to clothes, just when it comes to where you live and stuff." Matt agreed with Natalie. "But the house we bought, the big house; we bought it for practical reasons too, as it helps with my PTSD." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that, as that most definitely is the truth. "I can see that being the case."

Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, before smiling at her. "I hate to ask but..." Natalie laughed. "Let me guess, you want to know how things are when it comes to the PTSD stuff?" Matt agreed. "And how you guys are doing with the fact that you have a new boss, who just so happens to be your ex-boyfriend. I swear Natalie, I had no clue until Gabby told me!" Natalie look at Matt, still not happy about it. "Okay, I am still not happy about that. Seriously? You pick HIM to be the Deputy CEO for Casey Health? I've been here since the start Matt!" Matt sighed as he looked at Natalie as she said that. "Natalie, you don't understand. I chose Jeff because I know him personally, and because he can take part in all of them. He can do the clinic, and the therapy stuff. I'm adding more things to the therapy part anyways. I'm going to do PTSD therapy, addiction therapy, physical therapy, and victims therapy." Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that. "I'm going to have to meet with you all, but I am going to ask Will to take care of that because of Jay."

Natalie agreed with Matt as he said that. "And then, I didn't want you guys to be uneven. I didn't want you to be Deputy CEO, while your husband is just a COO; especially not when you're pregnant, and you need each other. Sure, me and Gabby can do it; but that's because I give her a lot of leeway." Turning her head, Gabby looked at Matt. "Translation: He still wants sexy time." Natalie laughed as she heard Gabby say that, as she can see that being the case. "Oh, I can understand that. Will still wants it too." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that. "Just wait, that all goes away when you have kids." Going to slap Matt's arm, Gabby looked at her husband. "Careful before I wear pyjamas tonight. Just because we're here, that doesn't mean that I can't wear small underwear and a tank top for you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before leaning in and going to kiss her softly. "I love you, day in bed tomorrow with the boys?" Gabby agreed with Matt, loving that idea. "Definitely." Matt smirked as he heard that, really happy.

That was, until he heard his phone ding, which also made Gabby irritated. "Matt, no work please." Matt agreed with Gabby, just wanting to check, until he heard Natalie's phone ding. "Maybe it's not work after all." Natalie agreed with Matt as she proceeded to grab her phone, only to see that it was in fact a work e-mail. "Oh, so much for that." Matt snickered. "Okay, well it looks like I'm not reading it." Gabby then went ahead and answered Matt's question. "Got that right." That's when Matt decided to do something, and that would be turn his phone off; after all, he was on family mode today. And that wasn't going to change. So, he grabbed his phone and went ahead with shutting off his phone. Doing just that, Matt smiled as he then put it on his charger. "What did you just do?" Matt smirked as Gabby asked him that. "I just shut off my phone." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "I love the sound of that." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before turning to look at Natalie again. "Listen, how about we talk Monday?"

Matt smiled. "Let me guess, all this family time makes you want to go spend some time with Will?" Natalie agreed with Matt as he asked her that, as that was the truth. "Yes." Getting up, she smiled as she looked at her friends. "Listen, I will talk to you guys Monday. Have a good weekend." Matt agreed with Natalie as she said that, grabbing her hand before watching her walk away; at the same time, he turned to look at Gabby and just smiled at his wife. "I asked them if we could have some time. Just the two of us, and the boys before we come down for supper. They said that it'll be an hour-and-a-half before it's ready, so we have time. We can just relax here if you want." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as she likes that idea. "I like that idea." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before leaning in so that he can kiss her softly. "And I love you." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "I love you too. Now, let's calm down before we hurt the boys." Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, as that would never happy.

"That will never happen, and we both know that." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "We can hold the boys though; I want to hold my little guys close to us." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as she liked that idea. "I love that idea." Matt nodded as he heard Gabby say that, before going to grab her hand again. After which, he proceeded to intertwine their fingers and just smile due to the fact that this truly is perfect. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she loves him too. "I love you too Matt, and I am so glad that this is what we're doing today. Spending time as a family." Matt agreed with his gorgeous wife as she said that, feeling the same way as her; because he loves to do that as well, spend time as a family. It's something that he enjoys now and will enjoy for the rest of his life.
