Chapter 1

Gabby flicked her eyes open and looked around the room, it took her a few seconds to realize where she was. When she remembered that she and Matt had arrived at an all-inclusive Barbados's resort late the previous night she smiled.

A few weeks earlier Matt had told her they'd never been away for a weekend together and they both agreed they needed to do just that. Then out of the blue less then a week ago Matt had surprised her with two plane tickets to a luxury Barbados's resort for a week. He'd already okay'd it with Chief Boden.

"Good morning Babe," Matt opened his eyes and placed his lips on hers his hands roaming around her naked body.

"Good morning," She responded running her hands through his tussled hair, "We planning on spending all day in bed?"

"Yeah," He nodded lazily, "With you a hot tub and room service we don't need to go outside."

"Okay," She nodded as she caressed his chest, "But then you won't get to see me in my new bathing suit I bought. Oh and I also bought something else, something from a store that sells underwear and lingerie.

Matt's throat tightened and he could feel his need for her growing; he guessed she knew as well as her hands had traveled down his body and were teasing him, "Oh," He let out a groan, "You're going to be the death of me,"

She laughed and got out of bed going to her suitcase to look for clothes to wear, "I'm hungry," She informed him over her shoulder, "Now come on this place is supposed to have good food."

"You know I'd go anywhere with you Babe," He climbed out of bed as well. He loved seeing her smile again and would do anything to keep it that way. The past few months had been extremely hard on both of them, but he knew it had been hardest on her. They'd talked about their loss but Matt knew that she was still blaming herself and he would do anything to take all of that pain away.

After getting changed they walked out into the resort, they were both in shorts and t-shirts and the weather was a nice break from the cold bitter winter in Chicago. They had breakfast at a buffet restaurant and then started walking along the resort.

At the largest pool on site they spotted two adults with three children who looked similar in age. The children were getting in the water but at the last moment the only girl took off and ran towards Matt and Gabby.

"Wow, wow," Matt placed a gentle hand on her shoulder to stop her, "Where are you going?"

The girl looked up at him, her eyes glimmering with mischief, "Samantha, "The man walked towards her, "You know you don't run away, come back to Daddy."

"No!" She shook her head stubbornly, "Uppie?" She looked up at Matt.

"I'll lift you up if I can take you back to your Daddy," Matt told her.

"Swim?" She asked hopefully pointing to the pool.

"I'll swim with you for a little while," He told her and she then let him carry her back towards her father. He set her on the ground and she happily got into the pool. She was wearing a pink life vest and her brothers blue and red ones, she played happily with them.

"Thank you so much," The man looked at Matt and Gabby, "They're triplets and sometimes a handful."

"Triplets wow," Gabby let in a sharp breath, "I bet that's hard, how old are they?"

"Just turned two," He responded, "Samantha's a little trouble maker but when she wants to be she's so sweet."

"She seems to be," Matt nodded.

Samantha stopped swimming with her brothers and looked up at Matt, "Swim!"

"Yeah," Matt took off his shirt and sandals and climbed into the water making sure to ask permission from her mother before swimming with her. Gabby got into the pool a few seconds later and the two boys curiously started tugging on her hands.

Matt and Gabby swam with the triplets for a good two hours before their parents informed the children they needed to leave for lunch and then have a rest. As expected none of the children liked that response, it took them half an hour to get all of them dried off and ready to leave, this was with Matt and Gabby's help.

Matt and Gabby watched the family leave and Gabby took Matt's hand and squeezed it, "I want us to have a baby? Or try for a baby," She told him, "I don't know if I can get pregnant again but I want us to try," She allowed a few tears to roll down her cheeks.

"Gabby," Matt looked at her, "Baby are you sure? You know there's nothing I'd like more then to have a baby with you but…."

"Yes," She kissed him, "Lets go back to the room," She looked at him and took his hand. Together they took the long way back to their room, evening passing by a chapel on the way.
