The next day


Gabby and the triplets walked in after going to the grocery store.

''So what did they tell you at school yesterday?'' Aaron asked a bit nervous.

''We are so proud of you, we got all good remarks on all of you.'' Gabby smiled then and she truly was so proud of her children.

Gabby and Kylie went to the kitchen to make some cupcakes. She had promised and Kylie was so excited, they had gotten a lot of decoration while they had been grocery shopping and Gabby invited the boys to come help as well, but Aaron and Christon went to play soccer instead.

''Not in the living room, into the garden!'' She warned them immediately.

''but it is windy!'' Christon complained.

''We just got a new house, I don't need you boys to have us change it again!'' Gabby said and even though Christon rolled his eyes, he took the ball outside then and Aaron followed him.

She and Kylie had just finished the first batch and batter for a second batch when the front door opened and Matt came home after having lunch with Kelly after going out together.

''Oh, cupcakes!'' Matt said as he walked in, coming back from meeting up with Kelly.

''The first batch is for us now but we are also making a second batch for you to take to the firehouse to treat everybody.'' Gabby smiled and Kylie nodded.

''I am going to decorate them all and you need to help me write the names.'' Kylie promised as she was putting some more sprinkles on another cupcake, tongue between her teeth. Matt smirked for a second as Gabby tended to do that as well when she was very concentrated.

''Sounds amazing.'' Matt smiled and Gabby was mixing up some more dough. As she looked away for a second, he put his finger in the dough, swiping some up and Kylie looked at him with big eyes.

''Mom, dad is eating the dough!'' Christon said as he walked into the kitchen to eat some more of the decoration. Teasingly Gabby grabbed the spatula beside her and slapped him on his hand.

''Ouch!'' Matt said overdramatic as he pulled his hand back.

''Oh don't cry.'' She teased him.

''You hit me with a wooden spatula.''

''Boo boo kiss?'' She smiled, kissing Matt then.

''Eww!'' Christon said then as he shook his head before walking outside again.

''No it is cute and romantic!'' Kylie yelled after her brother as she was sprinkling some more chocolate sprinkles on her cupcake.

A cry sounded from the living room and Matt walked there then, lifting little April from the playpen. The little girl stopped crying as her dad lifted her up and he walked to the kitchen with her.

''You're hungry, hmm?'' He said as he put her in the high chair and went to prepare a bottle. Gabby smiled at him, Matt smiling back, so happy the whole family was doing so well in their new home.

''Daddy, come help me!'' Kylie said then and Matt sat down, April on his lap. As she was on his lap he was holding the bottle for her and looked at what Kylie was doing.

''What do I need to help with?''

''Help me decorate.''

''Okay, after your sister is done being fed.'' He promised, smiling at her as she continued while April was still drinking from the bottle, her little hands wrapped around it but not strong enough to hold it herself.

''Boys playing soccer?''

''Yeah, they wanted to play in the living room but I told them to go outside, can't afford having to decorate it all again.'' Gabby said as she checked on the cake in the oven.

Suddenly they heard a loud crash outside and Gabby looked out of the window.

''Kidding me!'' She said as she walked to the door by the kitchen that lead to the garden.

A very guilty looking Christon and Aaron were looking at her there.

''To be fair, we did not playing in the living room.'' Christon said as Gabby walked outside, looking at the broken window towards the living room.

''You shot a ball into the living room!'' She said as she looked at the broken window.

''But we were not playing in the living room.''

''They have got a point there.'' Matt said as he joined them in the garden, April on his arm. Gabby gave him an angry glance.

''Sorry.'' Aaron said then.

Upset Gabby walked inside again to the kitchen and saw the smoke coming from the oven.

''Shit, shit shit!'' Gabby said as she opened the oven, pulling the burned cupcakes out. She threw it on the on the cupboard as it was still sizzling and open the window to let the smoke go out.

''Don't you dare make a joke about needing this window broken here.'' She already told Matt when he came walking in.

''I wasn't going to.'' He said as she was clearly upset and he put April in the high chair for a minute before walking back to Gabby.

''Hey, it is going to be okay, it is just a window and it are just some cupcakes.'' He said as he pulled her into a hug.

''I know but our home was finally whole again and now the window is broken and I nearly burned it out as well.''

''Okay, I am just going to board up the window and fix it after my next shift.'' He promised Gabby. Finally she nodded a bit and he kissed her on her forehead.

''And you didn't burn the house down, you make it better.'' He said then and she nodded again and they shared another kiss before she dried her tears and smiled again.

''I will just go to home depot to supplies for the window and it will be okay, okay?''

''Can I come?'' Kylie asked and Matt nodded. They walked away together and even though Gabby was still a bit upset about that had happened, but she also knew that Matt was right and that it was just a window and after tall that had happened, it was going to be okay.

In the car, after going to home depot, Matt stopped at one of the bakeries.

''Come on, let's pick out some cupcakes for the firehouse.'' He said after getting something for themselves and she picked out one for everybody, even with a whole motivation, which was very cute. They were put in a big box and Kylie carried it to Matt.

''I love them, all of them are so nice.'' Matt said as Kylie came walking towards him proud.

They drove home then and Matt went to fix the window, or at least board it up until he had more time. April was blabbering from the playpen and Gabby walked into the living room then.

''I send them to the park to play soccer. ''

''That is probably a better idea.'' Matt nodded. The park was just across the street so they could still keep an eye on them.

Gabby walked outside to the park then, Aaron and Christon playing as close to the house as possible. The boys immediately stopped playing.

''Are you angry?'' Christon asked worried.

''no, I just need you two to be careful when you are playing soccer, okay? Can't keep replacing the windows.'' Gabby laughed. ''Come on, diner is ready.''

''I am glad you are not mad.'' Aaron said then.

''I could never be mad for too long with you two.'' She said as she put her arms around them both and they started to walk back towards the house.


note: I don't think they will be allowed to play soccer in the yard again.
