4 days later
Gabby looked as Matt was pushing the wooden shelve against the wall, drilling it then and checking if it was secure and she walked in behind him.
''That is amazing…'' She smiled and she kissed him on his cheek and he smiled proud.
After he had gotten home from the therapy this morning he hadn't been really cheerful but now he had gotten to do some work for the baby he was really happy and proud again.
''Look at that, you are just going to make the whole baby room. I am sure baby can't wait to be born because it is just getting prettier and prettier.'' She said and he gave her a small smile but still didn't really seem sure what to do and she laid her arms around him. He kissed her on her forehead but moved from her arms then to keep on working on the room.
''Matt, we have to go to the dinner soon.''
He nodded slowly and looked a bit worried. He just wanted to keep on working for the baby. He wanted to show Gabby that he could pull himself together to be a dad but knew he had to get ready to go to Antonio and Laura but honestly he was a little worried about going to Antonio because Antonio had found him after he had been missing. But they both got ready to leave then.
Gabby held Matt's hand as they walked to the door by Laura and Antonio. Laura had invited them over for dinner, hoping that it would make the couple feel better. Gabby looked at Matt and was so glad that he was smiling. He had been working on the baby room the whole afternoon and she had been so happy about it. He seemed so proud and he had the right to be, he had been working hard but after making sure all the walls were painted right, he had put up two big shelves for the pictures and the books for their baby and she was glad tha the had done that. She knew that he was trying really hard.
''Hey guys.'' Antonio greeted them as he let them inside.
Antonio was glad to see that Matt seemed to be somewhat better than he was before but he still didn't seem to be doing too well.
''Where are Eva and Diego?'' Gabriela asked as they sat down by the table.
''Oh, they are at mom and dads….'' Antonio said as he walked out with some wine.
''Antonio, you know neither of them don't drink wine.'' Laura hissed and Gabby smirked.
''I would love one…but I can't she smiled as she pointed at the slightly showing baby bump.
''Sorry, can't get used to the idea that some guy knocked my sister up.'' Antonio said then but he looked a bit unsure when Matt was not laughing and got up to grab some water for the both of them.
''Talking about that…I collected some stuff for you.'' Laura said and she walked away, getting back with a large box and put it in front of them.
''Just some stuff I always kept from our kids…for you.'' She said.
''That is great, thank you so much!'' Gabby smiled and Matt was looking through the box, not saying much.
There was a stuffed bear and he picked it up from the box.
''The baby will love it…'' he said slowly and they thanks Antonio and Laura again as Laura got ready to put the food on the table. During the dinner, Gabby was worried because Matt was not talking at all and Antonio looked at her as they brought their plates to the kitchen.
''Gabby are you sure it is a good idea to stay with Matt….'' Antonio said worried.
''He is doing better…''
''he still seems like only a ghost of himself…'' Antonio said.
''Well, he has bene through a lot but he can get through this. We can get through this.'' Gabby tried to assure her brother.
''Don't get me wrong, I am just worried about you.'' Antonio said. ''I know you love Matt but I don't want him to drag you down.''
Gabby just shook her head, feeling her hurt that her brother that was not feeling good about what she was doing. Sure, it was not the easiest to be with him now especially because he was feeling so bad about it all but it just made her upset because she was trying and Matt was trying too.
They got ready to leave s they were both really tired but it had been a great dinner and it made Gabby happy that Matt seemed to have enjoyed it.
''Thanks for the dinner…it was great….'' Matt finally burst out and he even smiled at Laura and Antonio then and Laura smiled.
''Thanks, I am glad you enjoyed it.'' She smiled then and Antonio wasn't sure what to say as Gabby pulled Matt with her to the car and they left.
Gabby was still angry because of what her brother had said. She knew that he was just worried now she was pregnant and that Matt wasn't doing all too well but his words only made her more worried.
Matt had the box with all of the stuff that Laura and Antonio had packed for them on their lap and at home he couldn't wait to bring it to the living room.
He walked back into the baby room and she looked as the grabbed the stuffed bear from the box and put it on the shelf, as well as some of the box. He was smiling and it made her feel so happy and knew that Antonio was wrong. Nobody would be a better dad than Matt.
Suddenly he looked at one of the books and started to laugh.
''What is that?'' She asked with a smile and he held it up.
''I always used to read the book to Violet….Miffy.'' He smiled as he swapped through the pages and she smiled, looked along with him at the little book.
''Our baby will love it when he or she is old enough.'' He said then and he laid his hand again on the baby bump that was slowly starting to show a bit and she smiled.
''I guess so…just five more weeks and we will know the gender.'' She said then and he nodded.
''I can't wait.'' He smiled and kissed her. Gabby was so certain that Antonio was wrong. Because the baby and them together was the only thing that was good and trusted for Matt now, it was the most important thing he had right now. And that was why Antonio was wrong. Matt would be the best dad and she trusted that. It would be great and he would overcome all the problems that he was having.
NOTE: Matt is still not talking a lot but he is doing his work in the baby room as much as he can and Gabby is really happy with that and knows that the baby brings him comfort. They went out for dinner and Antonio also expressed his worries about Gabby staying with Matt and he being the daddy of their baby but at home Matt was being so happy about becoming a dad again and Gabby is sure that he will be the best dad.
