Chapter 37

November

Getting ready to put the twins down for a nap, they stood together in their bedroom.

''I miss being a marine.'' Matt suddenly admitted.

''Oh, you want to leave again?'' She asked upset.

''Gabby, that is not what I am saying.'' He mumbled upset.

''Well what are you trying to say then.''

''Nothing, just that I miss the job a bit, which isn't that weird, right?'' He said as Charlotte was still pulling his shirt.

Gabby shrugged, not sure what to say about it.

''If you want to go back overseas, do it if it pleases you.'' She upset as she threw the door close behind her. Upset Matt tried to comfort the startled little baby in his arms.

''I don't know what is wrong with mommy, but I am not going away.'' He said softly. Then he put Charlotte back in the crib sister and looked as they both fell asleep for their nap.

Matt walked on to the kitchen and living room then.

''What did I do wrong now?'' He asked then, worried.

''Well, you want to go back overseas.''

''Gabby I never said that. Nothing is going to get me to leave you and our girls again. All I was saying was that I sometimes miss being a marine. I miss the guys that I spend months together with.'' He said, trying to explain it.

''Oh.'' She said softly.

''I am not going away. Don't worry. It's just...a lot changed the last years, most things for the better but last year I was in Iraq now and you weren't even pregnant yet. It is just that a lot changed and that doesn't matter.''

''Then what are you mumbling?'' She asked him.

''nothing, just that I miss the job sometimes. That is all and I am not going away again.''

''If you miss your army buddies so much, why don't you go there?'' She asked him then, a bit more compassionate.

''Well, Jay is in San Diego, Clarke is overseas again. '' He said as he opened the fridge, looking for something to eat. Before he found something to snack on, the girls started to cry and they walked to get them.

''You always want more attention from your daddy, hmmm'' Gabby smiled as Matt lifted up Aseera, comforting her. They took her to the living room and Matt sat down with her, comforting her. She was crying a lot more than little Charlotte and seemed to be okay again once Matt hugged her.

''See, she just wanted your attention. All the ladies love you.'' She teased Matt as the baby was asleep against his chest now. She laid close to him as well, laying against him and slowly caressing over Aseera's dark hair.

''I am sorry I got so angry, I was just worried you wanted to go overseas again. '' She said as she sat down beside him, ''But I can imagine that you miss the people you spend months with overseas.''

''Yeah, I would never leave you with these girls. Don't worry.'' He smiled then, Aseera snoring softly. Content with her daddy staying so close to her.

A few days later

Matt was looking after the girls. Gabby had gone out to run an errand and he had had the day off. Tomorrow he had a shift at the firehouse again and then he had some more construction jobs, but for now it was good to spend time with his girls.

Suddenly the doorbell rang and he carried Charlotte along against his chest as he opened the door.

''What are you doing here!?'' Matt said surprised as he saw Jay.

''I heard from your fiancée that you were missing me, so I booked a trip to Chicago.''

''It is great to see you-'' Matt smiled, inviting Jay in but he smirked then.

''Oh well, I was more excited to see the little girls, not you.'' He joked with Matt. Gabby walked in behind Jay.

''Oh your errand was picking up Jay at the airport?''

''Well, yeah.'' Gabby smiled and Matt kissed her on her cheek, so grateful for what she did for him.

''Brrr...it is cold here, San Diego is a lot nicer!'' Jay said as Matt took his jacket. He walked over to the playpen then. Matt was still holding Charlotte.

''That is Aseera.'' He smiled proud. Gabby smirked, Matt talking about his daughters always made him lit up with pride.

''Well, luckily they look a lot like Gabby. '' Jay was joking with Matt again.

''Great to see you, so can you get on the plane back to San Diego already?'' Matt went along with it.

''Boys will be boys.'' Gabby rolled her eyes.

The afternoon they spend showing Jay around Chicago and sat down by a restaurant at the pier then. The twins were asleep in the stroller and Jay and Matt were chatting about all the other men, whom had gone back overseas and who had another job now, like they had.

''Now let's try some of that famous pizza.'' Jay smiled as the deep dish pizza was brought to the table.

''Now you will never want to leave again.'' Matt warned him.

''It is great seeing you and the twins and finally meeting you Gabby, heard so much about you.''

''Great to meet you to, heard so much about you as well.'' Gabby smiled.

''So when is the wedding? Cause I will definitely fly in again.'' Jay promised, taking another piece of the deep dish pizza.

''We want to get married soon...just haven't gotten around to it with the twins...and we want to marry in the summer.'' Gabby explained.

''Well, it's gonna happen.'' Matt promised her, kissing her on her temple. She had arranged this just for her cause he had complained about missing his friend and now he was here. Gabby still really wanted to get married so that was something he had to make come true. He pinched her hand on the table for a second and smiled at her. There was nothing more he wanted to marry her.

Suddenly Gabby's cell phone rang and she flipped the phone open. Rushing to get up she grabbed her bag and jacket.

''Babe - what is wrong?'' Matt asked concerned.

''Laura went into delivery.'' Gabby said worried.

''Calm down, I am driving you, you are in no state to drive-''

''No you two take care of the twins. I am going to see her. I will take a taxi.'' She said, kissing Matt before running out. Concerned she waved at a taxi, going to the hospital as fast as possible.
