1 day later

Matt groaned a she woke up, so tired of yesterday and he wanted to turn around to sleep a little longer but Gabby laid her arms around him.

''baby, we have to get out of bed because we have to pick up Diego, Eva and violet.'' She said and Matt wanted to fall back asleep but she made sure that he was staying awake.

''I mean, you still want to go today, right?'' She asked then and he opened his eyes and smiled then.

''S-sure.'' He said as she was really looking forward to going out with her niece and nephew.

''Are you really feeling well?'' She asked as she knew she would always say yes for him.

''I am exhausted f-from yesterd-day.'' He admitted and she nodded.

''Not a problem, we can take the wheelchair so you will get less exhausted from walking.''

''Thanks.'' Matt smiled and she walked away and he sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the floor then. He didn't want to tell her but the words that her cousins had said about him yesterday were still going through his head and he kept hearing her niece calling him a retard. He didn't want to think about it but it did haunt him now.

''We should ask Christie if we can take Violet as well, because i am sure that she will love coming with us and spending time with Eva and Diego and also with you.'' she said then and he smiled as he really loved that they would take his niece as well and he called Christie and just a little later they were in the car to pick her up first. As they were going to a carnival festival close to Antonio's they would pick Eva and Diego up there.

By the door, they waited, Matt in the wheelchair as he was so exhausted from yesterday but it was still nice not to be in bed all day long.

''Are you hurt?'' Violet asked concerned and Matt shook his head.

''no b-but I am really t-tired.'' He said as he hugged his niece and they made their way to the car soon after.

They picked up Eva and Diego and got out of the car then, Matt getting out of the car, afraid he might even fall asleep in the wheelchair because he was so exhausted but it was nice to be here with all the kids.

''Can I push your wheelchair uncle Matt?'' Violet asked then and before he could answer Diego pushed her aside.

''You are a little girl, let me do it.'' He said then and Gabby pulled them away from each other.

''No fighting. You can switch with the pushing.''

Matt just smiled but didn't say much, the words of cousins still haunting in his head.

On the carnival, there was a small rollercoaster and the kids pointed at it.

''Sorry, we are not going in it.'' Gabby said as Matt couldn't do it because of his back and she got motion sick so fast.

''it is a really small rollercoaster uncle Gabby, I will look after Diego and Violet.'' Eva promised and they let her for then, Gabby stood behind matt's wheelchair but also knew that something was wrong.

''What is wrong.''

''I d-don't know, I just keep t-thinking about your c-cousins.'' He admitted then. He wished that he could tell her otherwise because she kept telling him not to mind what they had said but he couldn't help it but hear them talking about him in his head.

''Why? I told you they were wrong and they are not worth your worries.''

''I k-know but they make m-me think a-about that I am r-really a r-retard. I k-keep hearing it in my head.'' He said and she laid her hands on his shoulders.

''You are definitely not a retard. They are, because they judged you like that without knowing you and that makes me really upset. That is why it makes me so upset that you are thinking they were right because they are definitely not.''

Finally he let go of a small smile and the kids waved at them from the small rollercoaster as they were about to go and Matt and Gabby waved back.

''See, they are loving you and they definitely don't think you are retarded, so don't think like that. '' She said then and kissed him on his temple.

The kids got out and ran their way.

''Will you please come with me uncle Matt...please!'' Violet said then, grabbing his hand and wanted to drag him after her and finally Matt got up and walked after her, slowly.

Diego wanted to make fun of her that she was too old to go in the carousel and it looked so sweet.

She kept holding Matt's hand as they were buying a ticket and gook their places then, Gabby laughed as Matt climbed on one of the horses and Violet smiled so proud at her uncle.

After the ride, they had fries all together Diego and Violet took Matt to the games then.

''I want a love like you and Matt, you are so strong.'' Eva smiled then.

''it doesn't come easy, but when you love someone, it gets easier to do everything for him.''

''I want a boyfriend that loves me like that.''

''Well, you are my little niece and you are way too young for boys.'' Gabby smirked then, hugging her niece as Matt was cheering for Diego and Violet.

After bringing the kids home, they went home and Matt felt bad as he went to bed and Gabby went as well.

''D-do you want to have c-children with me one day?'' Matt asked then and she nodded.

''yes, I would love to make a family with you...but...''

''But you w-want to wait until I am better...I g-get that.'' He said then and she nodded.

''But I am sure that we are going to have a family someday.'' She said the kissing him and they laid together.

''You are g-great with kids.'' He smiled then and right now, that the thought that they might start a family when he was better, really was another drive for him to keep working on his recovery and not let the bad words in his mind drag him down.


NOTE: Matt woke up the day after the party and really wanted to sleep because he was so tired but they had planned a day with the nieces and nephew and didn't want to cancel them and they went after all, also taking Violet with them and they had a lot of fun at the carnival with the games and rides but Matt also admitted to Gabby that the words of her cousins still haunted him and he felt like he was a retard but she cheered him up and so did Violet and at home they talked about the future and about if they ever wanted kids.

Upcoming: Gabby confronts her cousins again because they caused Matt to be so unsure of himself and at night, during a party at Molly's, they got a really big surprise!
