Matt woke up again during their flight back home, surprised he looked as Ayer was asleep on his lap and Matt petted him over his head. It had been hard to take the dog with them, as they had wanted to take him a service dog, but since he was not fully trained yet and not 1 and a half year old, it had been hard but with a special note from his doctor and the certificates Ayer had gotten yet from the training, he had been allowed to come with them and now he was in the chair in between Gabby and Matt. But now he was asleep with his head on Matt's lap and Matt tickled him behind his ears and the dog turned, tongue out of his mouth and Matt smirked, because of the silly dog. Gabby was watching a movie and dozing off and Matt feel asleep again as well. Suddenly he felt nudges against his arm and opening his eyes, he saw that Ayer was waking him and he looked up, a flight attendant looking at him. Matt looked up at her and read her lips.
''I think he is okay, we are almost going to land.'' Matt said then, holding his dog as he was very excited and wanted to jump against the flight attendant that had asked if he wanted water and She nodded and walked away, Matt caressing the dog over his head again and Ayer give him a big lick over his face again as they got ready to land.
Kelly was packing his bag a few hours later as he, Shay, Allison and Jason for a few days at the lake. Matt and Gabby would arrive home tomorrow and if they left tomorrow, they could also spend a few days together there, but he was not sure if the couple would come, they had left them a voicemail, but Gabby hadn't answered yet as she didn't know now if she could switch another shift. He was packing his stuff and got ready to drive to Allison, Shay and Jason. He would sleep there tonight and they would leave tomorrow early in the morning with Shay's car. It was nice that Gabriela and Matt would be in the cabin with them too, as they actually had an extra room, but he wasn't sure if Matt had seen the text, so he decided to call Gabby a little later.
Matt pulled the suitcases out of the car and then the small sports bag Ayer had had with him, with a few more vests and some other stuff for the dog and started dragging to the door and Gabby laughed, The dog running to the door, dragging his bag and Matt laughed as well.
Matt took his own suitcase and pulled it behind him as he opened the door for the door, Ayer giving up by the stairs and Matt took his bag upstairs and the dog ran after him.
Gabby wanted to empty the mailbox when her phone started to ring and she took it.
''This is Gabby.''
''This is Kelly, I was wondering if we are still going to the lake all together. We are leaving tomorrow and it would be great if you could come too. I emailed matt about it.''
''He told me, I could switch my shift, so we only have to get the key from my parents, we will be a little later, because Ayer still has training tomorrow.'' She explained.
''We know you will be later, but you don't have to get the key at your parents, because you can sleep in the cabin with us, there is an extra bedroom.''
''That is nice, so we are all together.'' Kelly said then.
''Sounds good, we will see you tomorrow when we have repacked our bags.'' She said and she hung up the phone. Although they just had come back from holiday, it was nice. Especially because they were all together.
Gabby opened the mailbox and got the big stash out. A lot were cards to congratulate them on their wedding and she was opening them by the kitchen table when a booklet slipped from in-between de envelopes and she looked surprised, but recalled that she had ordered it right before their honeymoon. On the internet she had done some research for a cochlear implant and she had ordered a brochure with information from the hospital for Matt.
It would mean that he would be able to hear more again, so she hoped that it could really help him. He was making dinner in the kitchen and surprised he looked as she held the booklet.
Information about a cochlear implant. You could get one. I think you should get one. Gabby signed then.
What if I don't want one? He signed, took the booklet from her then.
You could hear again. Gabby signed. She was surprised of his reaction, she had expected him to be happy. How could he not want to get one and hear again?
I don't want an implant. He signed then. Gabby shook her head and shrugged.
Why not?
I don't want an implant. He just signed again, angry and he threw the booklet on the ground and walked away. Gabby threw down the rest of the mail on the table and walked after him. She knew she could call out his name, but he could not hear it and running after him, she caught up to him and grabbed his wrist and he turned around, still looking mad.
What is wrong? She signed.
You couldn't even ask what I thought about an implant before asking brochures? He signed mad and he wanted to walk away again but she started to sign back.
I thought you wanted to hear again. She signed and he nodded.
I do. But no brain surgery. You married me, knowing I can't hear and now you want to change me? He signed, angry and before she could respond, he grabbed the leash for Ayer and walked out with the dog for a walk, to cool down because he was really angry with his wife. Gabby walked back to the kitchen, angry and she took the booklet of the floor and laid it on the table. She had meant it well and he was so stubborn. Hopefully he would want to discuss it later.
NOTE: So Matt and Gabby got home for their honeymoon but before they can even settle in back at home, they are leaving again to the cabin with Kelly, Leslie, Allisson and Jason but instead of getting ready for that, they had a fight after it turned out Gabby had asked for some brochures online without telling Matt and now he is very upset about it. Can they make it up before going to the cabin and will Matt want to discuss it? Do you think she was wrong for asking for the booklets before asking what he wants and what he thinks about it?
