Thank you so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. I really hope that you are still interested in the story and that you want to see more. Please do really tell me what you think and be honest about it because I am really excited to find out what you think about this chapter.
Gabby stood by the window, looking as Matt and Antonio came back from their run. Matt had wanted to go earlier this morning but Antonio hadn't allowed him to go alone, so they had gone together. Both of them seemed a bit strained. Before they had gotten along so well but it seemed that since Matt had gotten back Antonio seemed so strained with Matt and the other way around as well.
They walked inside and none of them was talking.
''How is baby?'' Matt smiled then as he walked to Gabby and kissed her and Antonio smiled.
''What is going to be the name of the little girl?'' Antonio asked as Gabby had told him that it would be a girl, but hadn't said anything about the name yet.
''It's-'' Gabby started then as she was interrupted by Matt.
''No that is a secret.'' Matt said then as he laid his hand over the baby bump and kissed her in her neck.
''Why?'' Antonio frowned.
''Well, we shouldn't tell everything yet…right?'' Matt said then and Gabby just nodded, not liking her brother and her boyfriend so opposed to each other.
''That is all right, we will find out in a few months then, I guess.'' Antonio said as he got up but looked at Matt really dirty then and Matt walked away then.
Gabby walked after him as he walked towards the shower and was he was finished with undressing.
''Want to join me?'' He asked then as he stretched his hand out and she doubted for a second as she felt a bit awkward as it was not their own home but finally she nodded with a smile and she undressed and joined him in the shower.
She stood against him and his hands caressed over the baby bump.
''is little Leslie Andi enjoying it?'' He mumbled softly a she pulled her closer and she smiled and turned around then.
''I guess so…I can't feel her kicking yet.''
''It won't be long anymore.'' He said then she nodded. It was so nice that he seemed to brighten up and open up every time they talked about the baby. As Matt got out of the shower he handed her a towel as well and both of them got ready for dinner.
''Antonio is cooking now Laura is gone to my parents with the kids…that can't be much good.'' Gabby smiled but as soon as Gabby said Antonio's name Matt seemed to get a bit uncomfortable.
''What is wrong?'' She asked then and Matt shrugged.
''I don't know.'' He just said shortly.
''I am grateful he took us in though and keeps us safe…'' Matt said then as they made their way downstairs and both of them walked off to the dining table and after dinner they enjoyed some card games with drinks.
''I am going to go to bed.'' Matt announced then as he got up, although he was on track with getting back in shape he still got tired so easily and he wanted to walk away when Gabby grabbed his wrist.
''ah come on Matt…we are having such a great time. Stay just a little longer.'' She said then.
''Yeah, why don't you stay a little longer and have another beer, you have changed.'' Antonio said as he was getting all the cards together again to spread them out again so they could play again but Matt just shook his head.
''Yes I changed.'' Matt just said then, cold and the room filled with an awkward silence. Gabby bit her lip and felt really awkward.
''I am going to bed.'' Matt said then again and he kissed Gabby on her head before leaving to go to bed. Antonio cleared his throat and walked back to the kitchen and Gabby got up.
''What is it with you and Matt? You are like two stubborn kids.''
Antonio just shook his head as he wanted to put his beer back in the fridge and Gabby crossed her arms. It was affecting her that her boyfriend and her brother seemed to strained with each other and it made her worried.
''What don't you like about Matt? It is like you hate him and you want to piss him off.''
''I saw how much he hurt you by disappearing.'' Antonio explained. ''I saw how much he hurt you and I don't like seeing you hurt.''
''You know that Matt did not choose for that! He didn't choose to hurt me, he was hurt himself!'' Gabby said angry. She got where her brother was coming from but it also made her so angry that he blamed Matt from disappearing.
''You know that he is covered in scars right? Physically and mentally. They abused him, tortured him and starved him and you still want to blame him for hurting me by disappearing? That is ridiculous Antonio!'' Gabby said upset.
''I know…it is just…well…you are my little sister…and I don't want any man to hurt you.''
Gabby rolled her eyes and got up then and walked to the room where they were staying. They were sleeping in Eva's room and it was very small, but they knew they were safe here and that is most important. Matt was already asleep in the queen size bed and she crawled in bed beside him.
She laid her head on his shoulder as he was asleep on his stomach and caressed his back. She felt the scars under her hand and felt some tears on her face, angry because her brother was being such an ass. But she also was not mad with her brother because she wouldn't want to see him being hurt either so she got why he was worried about her. He was really kind for letting them stay in his house but it was still worrying that he was so angry at Matt for something Matt could not do much about and that Matt was getting angry back because he was worried about getting attacked.
She just hoped that it would all be good again soon.
NOTE: Gabby and Matt are staying with Antonio so they will be safe from the people that are after them but Matt and Antonio seem really strained and struggling with each other and that is because Antonio blamed Matt for hurting Gabby. Will they be fine soon? Will they finally find Nesbitt soon?
Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the previous chapter. Please do tell me again what you think by leaving a review and hopefully I will see you again next chapter.
