2 years later

Gabby was chasing the kids around while trying to eat some breakfast herself as well. The triplets were two and half now and they were so proud of them growing up.

''Let's go pick daddy up at work!'' Gabby said then and Kylie came walking her way, almost running and handed her her stuffed sheep plushie.

''Why do I need to hold mr Baa?'' Gabby said then as she was holding the sheep. Kylie just stood there with her cheeky smile. Christon looked more like her while Aaron was still the spitting image of Matt. But Kylie was more the inbetweener, she looked a bit like both of them.

Kylie just shrugged and ran on then and Gabby just smirked. She laid the sheep aside and grabbed the car keys and her purse then.

''Aaron, Christon, come on, we are leaving.'' She said then and the boys were in the living room, playing with their toy cars.

''Christon got up and ran past her while Aaron stood up and grabbed her hand as they walked to the hallway, where Kylie was struggling with her jacket. She was wearing her jacket upside down now and Gabby kneeled down.

''Oh let me get that right for you.''

''Kylie do!'' She said angry but Gabby helped her get it off and on again then.

When Kylie was ready she moved on to Christon. Christon already had his jacket on and she only had to zip it up and close the Velcro of his shoes and Aaron was standing there then, without his shoes or jacket.

''Aaron where are your shoes?''

''I not know!'' Aaron said as he grabbed his own jacket.

''Where is mr Baa!?'' Kylie complained then.

''On the kitchen table go get mr Baa.'' Gabby said then and Kylie walked to the kitchen.

''Aaron where are your shoes?'' She asked then again.

''Bed.''

''Go get your shoes.''

Aaron ran off on his short legs and with his silly run and she looked Kylie came back from the kitchen. They waited a few minutes and she knew if she left Christon and Kylie alone to get Aaron and his shoes from downstairs these two would cause havoc.

''Aaron come on we have to leave!'' Gabby yelled then.

Aaron finally came walking back and she helped him get his shoes on. Sometimes they were not sure if Aaron was just lazy or stubborn or he didn't know how to do it, but it didn't really matter, they were patient with him and a little later he walked after his brother and sister to the car.

At the firehouse she parked the car and got all the kids out. Together with the three of them they walked to the firehouse. There was about 10 minutes of shift left and they ran inside, excited.

''Come on, on to the common room.'' Gabby said then and the kids walked in front of her. They opened the heavy doors with a little help from Gabby and ran into the common room. Christon immediately ran to Kelly as he loved Kelly, uncle Kelly always looked after them and all of the kids loved him.

Aaron was looking around a bit surprised and Kelly dragged him closer.

''You come here too!'' Kelly said then as he pulled Aaron closer and put him beside Christon on his lap.

''Daddy?''Kylie looked around.

''He is probably in his office, go look if he is there!'' Gabby said and Kylie let go of her hand and she walked towards the office. She saw the door of the office and wanted to ran that way and put her hand on the glass so he would open the door when the door swung open.

Matt wanted to walk to the common room when he suddenly hear d a cry and saw Kylie on the ground, figured that she was looking inside his office through the door when he had swung the door open.

''Oh, little girl, I am sorry.'' He said as he lifted her up and she sobbed against him but after a boo boo kiss on her head she seemed to be okay again. He walked to the common room with her. It seemed to be more of shock than actual pain and in the common room havoc had ensued as Christon was Chasing Pouch, screaming loud.

''You're not going to stop him?'' Mouch said, trying to be annoyed but the Casey kids were just too cute.

''No, it's a great way to tire him out.'' Gabby laughed and Matt nodded.

''This is great.''

Christon kept on running after Pouch while Matt grabbed his stuff together to finish shift soon.

As they wanted to leave, Gabby suddenly waved for him to come over and silently he followed Gabby as she pointed him towards the corner of the common room.

Endeared they looked as Christon was asleep next to Pouch and Gabby smiled.

''So that is what we need, we need a Pouch to tire him out every time it's almost bed time.'' Gabby smiled as Matt picked him up.

As everybody walked out of the station, everybody did so and Matt was carrying Christon as Pouch tiring him out obviously had worked.

He carried Christon to the car and they put the kids in their seats before getting into the car themselves as well and ready to leave.

''Hey baby.'' Gabby smiled and she kissed him as he sat down in the car.

The kids were talking in the back, blabbering and Matt smiled at Gabby. He loved it when the family came to pick him up. It was always so great to come home from shift to his family.

At home the kids were playing in the living room while Matt and Gabby were preparing lunch. She was preparing the pasta while he was making a salad and looked to pour some milk for all of the kids then.

''Have you gotten the milk for Kylie at the supermarket yesterday?'' Matt asked as he searched in the fridge for the soy milk. They had thought that Kylie was such a picky eater and they felt bad because she kept having stomach cramps but now they had found out that she was allergic to some things and that she was lactose intolerant. Now they were careful with food and she was doing a lot better. Now she seemed to have her dads appetite.

Suddenly Gabby felt somebody pulling her skirt.

Aaron was standing beside her.

''What is it?'' She asked as she kneeled down.

''Cookie.'' Aaron

''We are going to eat in a bit so no cookie, because you will be full.'' Gabby smiled as Aaron looked at her with his big blue puppy eyes.

''Cookie.'' He pouted.

''No cookie, later after lunch.''

Aaron turned around and walked away then and Matt smirked.

''He's just like me.''

''I know.'' Gabby nodded.

''Alright, time for lunch.'' They said as the pasta and the salad was on the table and while Gabby was filling up the plates for the triples, Matt walked to the living room to get all the kids to join them. They sat down by the table and the kids were eating the pasta.

After lunch they took the kids to the playground close to their house and walked through the park. Christon was running around in front of them, as if he had renewed energy after spending the morning with Pouch while Aaron stayed close to Gabby, holding his hand as he always seemed a bit more quiet and shy.

Later that night, Matt and Gabby were sitting by the kitchen table after having playing a board game and they got ready to walk to bed as well. She was laying against his chest as he was changing channels on the TV in the bedroom and she was laying against his chest as he put the tv off then and kissed her on her head, smelling her hair.

''Matt, I want to have another baby?'' She finally said then. It had been on her mind for weeks now and she wanted to have another baby with him but she knew they had to talk about it. But when she saw his face and knew he wasn't on the same page. He didn't look angry, or with disgust. No, he looked concerned that he was going to break her heart.

''I am honestly not sure if I want to have another baby.'' Matt admitted then. ''It's not you or anything in our marriage, I just feel like our family is complete.''

''I thought you always wanted a big family.''

''Yes...but I think three is a big family. I love all the kids so much but I don't think I want to have another baby.'' Matt admitted and Gabby tried not to look disappointed. She knew that it was something that they would just have to talk about as they were a married couple and these were things that they had to discuss.

''But...maybe not now...but maybe in a few months, I do want another baby...and I don't want to disappoint you.'' He said then as he didn't want to make her unhappy in the future and it was something they had to talk about.

''Matt, you don't need to change your mind like that just to make me happy.''

''I am not changing my mind, I just don't want to say no because this is important and you are important.'' He said then as he held her close. All he wanted was to make her happy, but he was not sure if another baby would really make them happier.

Gabby smiled as she was glad they had such a good relationship that they could talk about these things and that he didn't want to hurt her feelings but that he still was honest.

''Maybe you are right, we could always wait a bit longer and I do know where you are coming from.''

He took her hand his hand and caressed it.

''I am sorry.'' He said again.

''it's okay, maybe we need some more time for it.''

''Yeah, maybe.'' He said then and he pulled her against him again. She was glad that he was honest by her but then she was also a tiny bit disappointed. It was not like she could force him into this and she didn't want it, but secretly she hoped that he would still change his mind.

NOTE: The triplets are two and half already now and they are growing up fast and all having their own little personality, but Matt and Gabby couldn't be more proud and happy with their family...although...what will their disagreement about the future bring for their marriage?

I hope you really liked this chapter with a big time jump, fun but also some concerns. Thank you so much for and hopefully till next chapter!
