Casey's POV
I walk up the steps to Gabby's apartment, well my apartment as well later that evening from my construction job. I pull my keys out of my pocket as I hear Gabby scream the what sounded like glass shattering." Gabby?" I shout through the closed door as I fumble with my keys to unlock the door." Gabby, baby?" I yell nervously barging through the door.
"Matt." Gabby calls out from the kitchen with a small sob." I'm in here."
"Gabby." I rush over panicked until I see her face. Letting go of the breath I was holding." What happened? You scared the hell out of me. And what are all these boxes?" I observe the cardboard boxes on the counter and dining room table behind me.
"I broke my vase packing." Gabby points to the shattered glass on the kitchen floor." My mother brought me that vase back from Dominican Republic."
"Shit Gabby." I start chuckling." I thought you were hurt or something."
"Matt." She pouts her lips." It was special."
"Baby." I move around the kitchen counter stepping over the broken glass before placing my hands on her shoulders kissing her forehead." We can always get you another vase."
"Yeah your right." Gabby sighs." It's just a vase, maybe my mom can get me another vase on her next trip."
I kiss her head before moving to grab the broom." Or we could go?"
"Go where?" Gabby asks as she moves back to whatever chore she was doing.
"Dominican Republic?" I stop sweeping looking over to her." Maybe with your parents?"
"Matt." Gabby chuckles." My parents go for a month or two." She tells me not even looking at me.
"Yeah I know Gabby." I say sarcastically." I was thinking for a week maybe?" I suggest in a more serious tone.
"Your serious?" Gabby looks over to me as I bend down with the dustpan now.
"Yeah babe." I toss the broken glass in the trash moving back to her." I would love to meet more of family."
Gabby throws herself in my arms now hugging me." You would go, you would want to meet my family?" She pulls away looking up to me.
I kiss her lips softly." They are going to be my family soon too right." I then place my hand on her stomach." Plus we will have our own family to show off."
"I like the sound of that." Gabby smiles reaching up to kiss my lips." Our family."
I hold her gaze for a minute before taking in our surroundings." What are all these boxes for anyway?" I try peeking into the closest one to me.
"I'm packing." She shrugs like it's no big deal.
"Ok." I drag out the word with a chuckle." We haven't even looked at apartments yet, we just talked about it this morning."
"I know." Gabby looked away ashamed." But speaking of family, I'm just really excited for us to be one. And um, about looking at apartments I may have looked at a few today while you were out."
"Gabby we are a family no matter where we live."
She looks over to me shocked like she didn't hear my words." Didn't you hear me? I looked at apartments today?"
"Why would I be mad?" I shake my head shrugging my shoulder.
"Cause I went without you?" Gabby looked at me with nervous eyes." I'm just really happy."
I move closer kissing her lips." I would never be mad that you are happy, excited." I smile holding her face in my hands." How did your apartment hunt go today?" I take her hand moving us to the living room to sit on the couch.
"Babe." Gabby sits on her feet next to me reaching for a piece of paper that sat on the coffee table." This place was amazing." She hands me the listing." It's two beds, two baths, the kitchen is like the size of this whole place."
"Looks really nice babe." I say as I look over the paper looking at the smaller details that were listed like hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and of course the price." You really liked it huh?" I looked up smiling to her.
Author's notes: I'm not sure about this chapter but wanted to give all you readers another chapter so hope you enjoyed:-) .
Gabby kept rambling explaining her favorite thing." Matt the windows are amazing, floor to ceiling and each bedroom and living room has a door to this awesome patio." She pointed to the one picture on the listing." Look we could put the grill there."
"Ok well what do you say we call this home?" I look up from the paper to Gabby.
"Yeah but you haven't seen it yet." She looks at me through squinted eyes.
"I'm happy if your happy." I run my thumb across her cheek." That's all that matters to me."
"No no way." Gabby waives me off grabbing my hand from her cheek." We are in this together, hopefully married soon so I'm not letting you take the easy road and just settle."
"Fine, fine." I concede with a smile, I love Gabby when she gets fiesty. I turn my body now looking at her more serious." And what do you mean hopefully married?" She squirms next to me looking away." Gabby?" I demand.
She looks at me for a moment before she huffs." Ok, I'm scared."Gabby's words rushed and by the look on her face she's shocked herself as well.
"Gabby?" I move closer to her placing my hand on her knee." Scared of what?"
"You, us."She whispered still looking away." Everything just feels so perfect, right between us, so fast."
"Do you think we are moving to fast?" I ask slightly hurt." Are you not ready to get married?"
"No baby." Gabby faced me with tear filled eyes." I'm scared you are going to wake up oneday and think we rushed things just cause of the baby."
"Gabby." I jump up from the couch kneeling down in front of her." I'm not going anywhere, now or twenty years from now." I reach up wiping her tears." I have wanted this with you before there even was a baby. I was an idiot then."
"I'm sorry." She wipes her tears." It must be all my hormones."
"Don't be sorry." I lean up kissing her cheek." Is that what this is about?" I ask pointing to the boxes.
"A little." Gabby shrugs.
" You can tell me anything, and if you still doubt me then I will just prove it to you everyday."
"Yeah." Gabby chuckled." There is one thing I would love."
"Anything."
Gabby leans in to whisper in my ear." Chinese food, I'm starving ." And we started laughing together. I got up taking my cell phone out of my pocket, then reached for Gabby's on the coffee table." What's do I need my phone for?" She looked at me confused.
"I'm ordering the chinese, you are calling about the apartment to see if we can go by before shift in the morning."
"Really?" Gabby jumped up kissing my lips.
"Really." I pecked her lips back." Cause I love you."
"I love you too, now go order our dinner,mama and baby are starving." Gabby reached for the brochure for the apartment as I went in the kitchen for the menu.
