a/n: OMG 23 reviews plus about 5 on twitter. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I'm really glad that everyone was so happy with the previous chapter. I'm really trying to move the story along so it looks believable to everyone.
Enjoy this next chapter and between updates, I'll work first on the dream and then Coming home (that one will be for you coconut).
Matt picked the girls up from Christie's the next morning, bringing them out for breakfast as usual. Last night's kiss kept looping in his dreams and he kept replaying it over and over in his head.
"Did you girls have fun at Christie's last night?" He sat across from them as they ate.
"Yes. Did you have fun with Ms Dawson yesterday?" They countered.
Matt only chuckled at their interrogation tactics. "I did. And what did you guys do?"
"We played games and watched movies." Emma started.
"And we ate pop corn." Grace finished. She was finally starting to be more like herself.
"Sounds like fun." Matt pulled his phone out as it dinged. I had fun last night. We should do it again :) Matt laughed at Gabby's childish happy face before replying. I start a new shift tomorrow 8am. 24hrs on and 48hrs off. Tell me when and I'm all yours. He quickly put his phone back in his pocket, giving them as much attention as he could with his mind playing tricks on him. He spent the rest of the day with the girls as he always did on his day off. He knew that those days were going to be few in between soon since they'd be starting school pretty soon.
Tell me when and I'm yours. Matt's text stayed in her head as well as their kiss the night before. The way her body felt as he pushed her against the door and how his lips felt against hers, her body catching on fire as his tongue touched hers. Alberto was the only other man who made her feel like that in the past and she didn't want it to stop. They had agreed to take it slowly and her mind was glad he wasn't pushing her but her body was telling her something else. Her dreams had been plagued with the kiss but in her dreams, the kids hadn't been asleep on the other side of the door. He had gotten his way with her and it made her wonder if they should take the next step.
"Mamma?" Valentina was calling out to Gabby and it took her out of her train of thoughts.
"Yes baby?" She smiled at her as the boys gave her a strange look.
"Park." She simply said.
"You want to go to the park?" Valentina giggled and shook her head up and down to say yes.
"Can we go with our bikes?" Luis asked.
"We can do that. It's supposed to be a nice day. Finish breakfast while I get some snacks ready and we can go as soon as we're dressed."
"YAY." They cheered and ate quickly, excited to go have some fun. Gabby knew that they had to enjoy the time they had left because soon enough, it would be time for school and they would have less time together to do fun stuff at the park.
When they arrived at the park, there was other kids there with their moms. Gabby had seen the kids on several occasions with their parents and Luis and Filippe had often played with them. She was a bit surprised when one of the moms came to sit with her.
"Hi, I'm Sheryl, Eric's mom. You're the twins mother right?" She smiled at her.
"Gabby Dawson. It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise." She smiled back at Gabby. "I wanted to bring Eric to the zoo tomorrow and he begged me to know if the boys would like to come with us?" Gabby looked at her twins playing with Eric, a smile on both their faces.
"They would love that." The two woman exchanged phone numbers and promised to meet back up here at nine the next morning. The boys came to get their snack and Gabby told them about the plan for tomorrow and they were super excited, running off to tell Eric that they could come. She smiled at how happy the boys were and then an idea popped in her head. She grabbed her phone as the kids went back to play and she called up her mother.
"Hi mom. I was wondering if you could take Valentina Tuesday morning for the day?" And what about the boys? "They are going to the zoo with a friend from the park and I figured I could squeeze some errands in my day and get stuff done around the house." She lied. The truth was, she wanted to spend some time with Matt on his day off, just the two of them. I'd love to, maybe I can bring her shopping for some new clothes, she's growing so fast. "Thank you mom, you're a life saver. I'll see you tomorrow." Her mother said her goodbye's and Gabby hung up. She found Matt's name in the contacts and sent him a text. Want to meet me at my place for lunch on tuesday? The kids will be gone ;) The text she recieved from Matt made her smile. He had promised to be there after taking a small nap after his shift.
Matt and Gabby went on shift on Monday morning, excited about meeting up the next day. One of Matt's neighbours had a little girl the twin's age had asked the girls if they wanted to come for a pic nic at the park on tuesday, getting the girls all excited and Matt alone time to go spend it with Gabby. They spent the day exchanging texts when she was on break and he was back from a fire. They were both lucky to have fairly easy shift, allowing for Matt to sleep most of the night, giving him an excuse not to nap and head over to Gabby's sooner.
Gabby was tidying her living room when her phone dinged on the kitchen counter. She went to see who was texting her, hoping it wasn't Matt telling he had to cancel their plans but instead she found a message from Shay. I know you are off shift, I was wondering if you wanted to do something today?. She quickly answered her that she was happy to have the day off without the kids and that she had some things to do, that's she'd take a raincheck for another day. Matt was supposed to be there soon and she wanted to enjoy some time alone with him. Maybe thirty more minutes past before there was a knock on the door. She opened it and was face to face with Matt.
"Hey." She smiled, taking in his appearance. He was wearing black bermuda's and a blue shirt, making his baby blues pop even more.
"Hey." He smiled back, enjoying the view of Gabby he had. She was wear short shorts and a black tee, her hair in a bun. She moved aside to let him in and as soon as the door was closed behind him, his lips came crashing down on hers. He pulled her body to his, needing to feel her close to him. Her arms came to rest around his neck as she let him deepen the kiss, heat radiating from her body once again at his touch. Air became a problem and they parted, their breaths coming out ragged. "I've wanted to kiss you all shift long."
"Kiss me again." She asked. Matt easily picked Gabby up as she placed her legs around his hips, giggling before he kissed her again. He sat the both down and let her straddle him, their lips never breaking contact. Gabby rubbed her core against him as his hands tangled in her hair, keeping her close to him as humanly possible.
Gabby's phone was buzzing against the counter as someone called but she hadn't heard a thing, her mind only on the man that was under her. The phone buzzed again as another call came in, ringing until it went to voicemail and then it dinged to say there was a voice message and another ding signaled a text was coming in but the two adults were oblivious to it, too wrapped up in each other.
Gabby quickly discarded Matt's shirt in between kiss, Matt giving her the control to go as far as she was comfortable going. She ran her fingers against the hard plain of his abs, his firefighter's training paying off. She felt his body shiver as her fingers flirted with the waistband of his pants, her lips curling in a smile as she kissed him tenderly. Matt's hands were on Gabby's back, pulling her closer to him. He wanted her so badly but he was going to let her decide when she would take the next step. He moved his lips to her neck elliciting a moan from her. She moved her neck aside, giving him better access. One of his hands was still on her hip and the other was cradeling her cheek.
"Matt." She moaned as his lips moved to a spot behind her ear. He pulled back and looked into her eyes, a look of lust dancing there. He ran his hand under her shirt, making her take in a breath, Matt stopping his action, searching in her eyes for what to do next but her words did that for him. "Don't stop." It was barely above a whisper but it was loud enough for Matt to hear it. He moved his other hand under her shirt as well, moving it higher up her body and all the way off, leaving her clad in her black bra.
"Just beautiful." He smiled at her before his lips claimed hers were so wrapped up in each other that they didn't heart the knock on the door and the click of it when the person on the other side made her way inside after getting no answer from the appartment's owner.
"I called and got no answer and I got worried. Gabby?" Shay called out, taking the couple out of the bubble they were in, scrambling to take hold of their shirts but it was useless. Shay's eyes landed on their half naked forms on the couch "Oh My GOD." She smiled but turned around. "I didn't know you two." She started, almost stammering. "I thought you were alone and I wanted to come keep you company but I can see you already have some." She chuckled. "Bye." She looked back at them with a smirk and left, clicking the door back shut.
"Oh my GOD!" Gabby was holding her shirt against her chest, her face red with embarassment while Matt's chest shook with a soft laughter. "It's not funny Matt." She swatted him, her lips curling in a smile too.
"Be thankful it was only Shay." He laughed, Gabby's smile turning in a look of horror.
"Matt!" she exclaimed. "It could have been the kids."
"Breathe Gabs, it's ok." He pressed his hands on her hips and pressed his lips to hers in a chaste kiss. Gabby put her shirt back on and Matt did the same as she unstraddled him and sat down next to him, her legs over his. He ran his fingers against her legs, the both catching their breaths. "I have an idea." She looked up to him, curious about what he had in mind. "Have the guys gone camping before?"
"We slept a few times under the stars as a family before but not since we came back here."
"How about they come over and we get the tents up in the basement so we can maybe watch a movie or something casual?"
"I would love that." Gabby finally stood up and went to the kicthen to start making lunch and they ate it, enjoying it before Matt left since the both of them had to pick the kids up from their respective play dates. They met back up at Matt's place and the kids all went playing out back as Gabby helped Matt set the tents up downstairs and start making dinner. They were making spagetthi for everyone and the kids all had fun together. When they were all washed up and ready for bed, Matt and Gabby led them to the basement where tents were set up as if they were on a camp site with torches and all. The kids were excited and Matt put them cartoons on the television to entertain them before they went upstairs to watch a movie of their own.
They found one they liked on television and settled on the couch with a bowl of pop corn, cuddled together.
"The door is locked so no one should be interrupting us." The movie was quickly forgotten as they started making out, Gabby's legs over Matt's, their bodies moving closer together like magnets. Matt laid them down and they kept making out, lost in their own bubble again. They were oblivious to what was around them once again but were pulled out by little hands pulling on Gabby's shirt.
"Mamma, mamma." Valentina's voice was full of panic.
"What's wrong sweetie?"
"Scared." she cried. Matt got up as Gabby took her daughter in her arms to console her and he made his way downstairs to see what was going on. He found all four kids asleep so he closed the tv before going back upstairs.
Valentina was asleep in Gabby's arms as he came back in the living room. "They're all sleeping. She was probably scared because she was alone down there." He moved a strand of curly hair that had fallen in her eyes. They finished watching the movie, Matt's arms around Gabby's shoulder, Valentina still asleep on her. They took her back downstairs where Gabby put her in her make-shift bed, the little girl rolling to her side, still fast asleep and they went back upstairs where they fell asleep on the couch, their legs intertwined together.
So as promised, I gave Gabby and Matt some alone time but they got caught by Shay in a compromising prosition. For sure they won't hear the end of that one.
I really hope you enjoyed this chapter and you'll leave a review to tell me what you thought about it. I'll see you for the next update :) - Sarra
