Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters. I hope that you guys liked yesterday's chapters, and I am so sorry over the fact that they were so short. However, I just didn't have much to write in them for some reason. However, I am hoping that's not the case today. Rather, I hope that I can get a lot more written today. Now, if you guys have ideas that can help me write long chapters (such as business ideas); then I am more than open to using them (and giving you credit). And I want to explain what I mean by that. When I say that I would give you credit, I would put your username in a note similar to this one. Or, I can do whatever you want. Heck, maybe I can even honor you by creating a character by the name of your choosing (I am also open to names that you want to give me, because I most definitely am also interested in getting some more character names for my story). So please, do not feel like you need to hold back character name ideas for me; as I am more than open to using them. Thanks again, now let's get started with today's chapters.

Chapter Fifty-Two
Relaxing and Conversing in the Living Room

The conversation that they were going to have today was going to be filled with a bunch of topics: the possibility of them having a third child, an update on Matt's PTSD, the idea of them getting a dog for Matt (a service dog), and maybe even some business topics (even though that was not something that they really should be talking about when they are just relaxing with each other). But that was just their life now, they had to do business every once and a while; as they have a bunch of employees, who all rely on them to keep their business running each and every day. Plus, it is a business day today, and that means that they need to work. But hey, at least most of their staff are working remotely right now; and that's because they don't want them to risk getting hounded by the press, and then maybe even say something that they don't want to say. But that didn't mean that they don't trust their staff, as they have been the best. They haven't leaked anything, and that was something that they most definitely did appreciate a lot. But right now, it isn't the time to think (or talk) about that. Rather, it's time for them to talk about the idea of them having a third baby.

I mean, whenever it happens; because it most certainly doesn't need to happen anytime soon, but she does hope that it happens soon. There's just something about the idea of the both of them having another baby soon, that really makes the wife happy; and that was why they are going to talk about it right now. "So, do you want to start this topic? Or do you want me to start this conversation?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her whether she wanted to start the topic, or if she wanted him to start the topic. "Ladies first okay baby? I made up my mind, because you're going to start." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before smiling as she felt him bend down and kiss her forehead softly. Adjusting the blankets on top of the both of them, Matt smiled as he ran his hand up and down her back due to the fact that this is everything that she wants right now. God, the way her husband is holding her in her arms is perfect. "I mean, there are good things; and there are also bad things that really makes me think that we could do it. But, at the same time; I'm wondering whether this would really be a good time." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby tell him that.

Kissing her forehead again, Matt whispered to his beautiful wife. "What are you talking about baby?" Gabby took a breath when she heard Matt ask her what she meant by what she said. "I mean, last time I was pregnant…we were dealing with so much. We were dealing with us fixing our marriage, then dealing with the entire change in life, your PTSD diagnosis, learning we have this life, and moving; and it was a lot." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before proceeding to kiss her forehead softly. At the same time, Matt pressed his lips to Gabby's forehead as they held each other close. God, the way she was currently just laying down in his arms is absolutely perfect because there is nothing better than the feeling of his beautiful wife in his arms. This is exactly what he wants to do right now, and he doesn't want to move for the rest of the day; or at least, until they want to go lay down in bed with each other (or he has to go do some business, in case that happens). Matt then proceeded to kiss Gabby's forehead once again. "Gabby, if you aren't ready; then I hope you know that we don't need to even think about it yet." Gabby took a breath when Matt mention that.

"I think that I do want to talk about it, because I have been thinking about some other things; and I have been meaning to talk to you about this, especially since there is a lot on my mind right now." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, glad that she wants to open up; and that she wants to talk to him right now. "Then what do you want to talk about baby? Is everything okay?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her what she wants to talk about, and whether everything was okay; and that was something that she was going to mention first. The fact that she was okay, because that was something that she doesn't want Matt to worry about; whether she was okay or not. "First, I am going to make sure that you know that I'm okay baby, and that it's not something that you need to worry about. I know that you're probably worrying about that right now." Taking a breath when he heard Gabby say that, Matt just agreed with his beautiful wife due to the fact that he was glad that she was okay. "Good, because I'm happy that you're okay. That's what I always want after all." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she sat up and looked at her dreamy husband.

After which, she put her hands on his chest and bent down to kiss him softly. Taking things nice and slow with the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that this truly is something that she's really happy about. She's happy about the fact that Matt really is the man she loves. She loves him more than anything in the entire world, and that's going to be the case for the rest of their lives. That's when Gabby pulled away before proceeding to lay down on Matt's chest, wrapping her arms around his torso again; after which, Matt wrapped his arms around Gabby. He then turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "Matt, I don't know if I'm ready to get pregnant for a while." Matt looked down at Gabby when she said that, before nodding as that's something that he can understand. "However, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be okay if we got pregnant. If it happens, then I'll be happy; and I'll pray that it's not twins." Matt looked into Gabby's eyes when she said that, before taking a breath as he kissed her forehead softly. "You don't want to have twins again?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her why she doesn't want to have twins again, and she hates it.

"Don't hate me for my reason?" Looking down at his wife as he put his hand on her arm, Matt looked at Gabby. "Hey, look up into my eyes okay?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before looking up at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. After which, she leaned up and proceeded to kiss him softly. Taking things slow with Gabby, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arm around his beautiful wife's back as they both held each other close. Taking things nice and slow with each other, Matt smirked due to the fact that this really is something that he's always happy about. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that. "And that's why you never need to worry about me hating you, because I could never hate you. Gabby, I have loved you for more than 6 years. And my love grows for you each and every day." Gabby sighed. "Even when we were apart, while I was in Puerto Rico?" Matt nodded. "Gabby, of course it did; but I only realized that afterwards, because I was happy that you were back in my arms. I feel in love with you more each and every day, even after you left to go to Puerto Rico because my wife was doing something so unselfish."

Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling at the man of her dreams. She then leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Taking things nice and slow with the man of her dreams. "But listen, back to the baby thing; how I don't want to have twins again?" Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before smiling as he stared into her eyes. "You must have a reason for it, so what is it Gabby?" Gabby took a breath. "It's because I'm worried that it could happen again, me giving birth premature; and I am just not interested in that." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before feeling her cuddle up to him. After which, he wrapped his arm around her back and turned his head to kiss her forehead softly. Matt then ran his hand up and down her back as he continued to hold his beautiful wife close to him, which is exactly what Gabby both wants (and needs) him to do right now. "Gabby, just cuddle up to me if you need me to okay? I promise that we're all good, and that I understand; I know that you had a real hard time during the pregnancy, and I am more than okay with the fact that you just want to have a single baby."

Gabby agreed with her husband when he said that, before smiling as she stroked his chest. "I just hope you know that this doesn't mean that I'm not happy that we didn't have the boys, the boys as twins more specifically." Matt looked down at his wife when she said that, well aware that was the case. "Hey, don't you dare think that I don't already know that Gabby; I know that you love that we had twin boys, and I see that every day when you take care of Matteo and Noah. Please do not think that I don't know that, and don't think that you need to ever mention that again." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before proceeding to lay down on his chest once again. After which, she stroked his chest with her thumb and just held her loving husband close to her. After which, Matt ran his hand up and down Gabby's back as a way to make sure that Gabby relaxes in his arms right now. After all, that's what Gabby needs to do right now; she needs to relax, and she just needs to take it easy right now. She needs to rest in his arms, and she doesn't need to worry about this. "Baby, why would you ever think that I thought that way? I know that you love the boys."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that. "Baby, I see it every time that you take care of the boys; and I don't want you to ever think that way." Gabby agreed with Matt (again) and just took a breath; at the same time, Matt turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. Just holding the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, Matt smiled as he pressed another kiss on her forehead; after all, that was exactly what she needed for her to be able to calm down right now. "I love you Gabby, and I hope that you know that will always be the case." Running her hand down Matt's chest, Gabby smiled due to the fact that this is everything that she's wanted to do for a while; she just wants to hold her husband close to her as they relaxed in each other's arms right now, which is just great. The way Matt holds her is perfect, and she is so glad that this is everything that they are doing with each other right now; as there's nothing that she'd rather be doing with Matt right now, especially when she's the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Running his hand up and down Gabby's back, Matt smiled as he kissed her forehead softly; and that just made her smile.

"Now listen, when it comes to you wanting to have a single baby rather than twins; is there a reason?" Gabby took a breath when Matt asked her whether there was a reason that she'd rather not have twins, and that was because of how hard the pregnancy was on her. "I think you already know why that's the case Matt, and it's due to the fact that I had such a hard pregnancy." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before smiling due to the fact that this really is everything that he's wanted to hear from her. He just wants to make sure that his wife is okay with the fact that they are going to try and only have one baby, but they can't exactly control it. "Well, that's if it happens; because we can't always control how many babies we have." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, as that was definitely true; and she very much knows that there is no way for them to really control how many kids they have. I mean, they did end up having twins during the first pregnancy that was viable; I mean, what are the odds that happened? "I just have to say this, because I keep wondering this; what are the odds that we had twins the first time that we got pregnant since the first time?"

Matt smiled when he heard Gabby ask him that, before going to grab her hand and intertwining their fingers. "I think that it was faith, for us having lost our first baby; and then, for having lost Louie." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, especially since that was what she was thinking about right now; the fact that she was thinking that it was faith that they had twins, because they lost both their first baby and then Louie. "Is it wrong for me to still hate Andre Keyes and what he did to us?" Matt laughed when he heard Gabby ask him whether it was okay for her to still hate Andre, because that was definitely something that he felt the same way about; the fact that he hates him too, for what he did on their wedding night. "And that was why I wanted to do that vow renewal." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before taking a breath. "Which almost got ruined again." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, before turning his head and kissing her forehead softly. "At least we ended up being able to have sex with each other on our wedding night this time around." Gabby laughed due to the fact that was the truth, and both was the happy that was the case. "Oh, I am so glad that was the case too. I mean, that was what should've happened on our wedding night." Matt agreed with his girl, smiling.

Turning his head, Matt smiled as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly once again; after all, that was exactly what he wanted to do right now. He wanted to kiss her forehead and just hold her close to him right now, which is exactly what he was doing right now. "I still loved that dress that you wore." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as that was something she thought about too. "I still can't believe where you got those dresses, I mean Kleinfeld? You do realize that all of those dresses are really expensive." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, before running his hand up and down her back. "Oh, I am well aware that was the case; and that was because I paid for all of them." Gabby laughed, agreeing with Matt when he said that. "Just to l et you know, I may have let Alex and Stella take a dress back to their place." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby say that, as he was well aware that was the case. "Oh, I am well aware of the fact that you let them take some dresses back to their places. I mean, I did talk to Kelly recently." Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that, a bit shocked. "Wait, did Kelly see the dress that Stella chose for their future vow renewal?"

Matt shook his head when he Gabby asked him whether Kelly saw the dress that Stella brought back from their vow renewal, because she most certainly didn't; and that was due to the fact that he made sure that he wouldn't be able to, as he already knew that Gabby was going to give some dresses to Alex and Stella. "Babe, I already knew that they took dresses back. In fact, I knew that you were going to let them choose some wedding dresses; and that's why I made sure that there were some extra garment bags, that were then hiding the dresses that are now in their closets." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware that was the case; after all, she did make sure that they were hidden well enough. "I know, I made sure that was the case. At least, I think it's still the case when it comes to Alex; I am not sure whether it's still okay in there, as she was worried about that." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby say that Alex was worried about the fact that the dress that she got would be okay, because he didn't understand why that would be the case. "Why would she be worried about whether the dress would be okay in her closet?" Gabby then looked up at her husband.

Snickering a bit, Gabby shook her head. "May I remind you that Jay and Alex have a service dog named Max?" Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, before thinking that this is the perfect way for them to transition to the next topic that they said that they were going to talk to each other about; more specifically, his PTSD and the possibility of them getting a service dog for his PTSD. So, he thought that this would be the perfect time to bring it up. "So, while you mention this; do you want to talk about that other topic that we said we were going to talk about?" Looking up at Matt, Gabby was well aware of what he was talking about; and that was them getting a service dog for his PTSD, because she knows that may definitely be something that can help her husband. "Yeah, I like that idea. But first, I need to go get something upstairs." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby say that, but juts decided to let her go get what she needs to get. "Okay?" Gabby agreed with Matt before going to kiss him softly. "Be right back." Opening the covers, Gabby then went to get up so that she could go get something upstairs in their room; more specifically, her iPad with the information she has.

Coming back downstairs after going to get her iPad this afternoon, Gabby smiled as she came back downstairs to see Matt sitting down while watching TV; after all, that was what he was doing before she left to go get her iPad. But she didn't regret leaving to get her iPad, as there was something that she needed to make sure that she had all the information. Coming into the room, Gabby smiled as she saw him watching some baseball. "Who's winning?" Turning his head when he heard Gabby come back into the living room, Matt smiled as he opened his arms so that he can get his beautiful wife to join him on the couch again. "You going to come sit with me again?" Smiling as Matt asked her whether she was going to join him on the couch again, Gabby smiled as that was something that she most definitely was going to do. She was going to join her husband on the couch, and she was also going to cuddle up to him so that she can just relax in his arms. After all, that was exactly where they both wanted to be with each other right now; they wanted to be in each other's arms, just like they pretty much always are when they're alone with each other. Heck, even when they do have the boys.

It was just their routine when they sat together, they made sure that they always sat together in each other's arms; it was their comfortable place, and it was just what they always wanted to do with each other. So, that's exactly where Gabby came to sit again once she was back downstairs in the screening room. Walking over to her husband, Gabby smiled as she proceeded to make her way into Matt's lap so that she can cuddle up to the man of her dreams. Just walking around the couch, Gabby smiled as she went ahead and sat down in Matt's lap (where he wants to hold her). After which, she leaned back against his chest and slipped her legs in between his. Going to grab the blanket that they were using before Gabby left, Matt smiled as he put it back on top of the both of them before she leaned back against his chest; after which, Matt wrapped his arms around Gabby as they cuddled up to each other. Putting his hand on her side, Matt smiled as he bent down and proceeded to kiss Gabby's shoulder softly. Just holding the woman he loves more than anything close to her, Matt smirked due to the fact that this truly is everything that he wants to do right now. He wants to hold the woman he loves close to her, and just relax with her in his arms.

Wrapping his legs around Gabby's legs, Matt smirked as they both held each other close; after all, this was perfect and there was nothing more that the couple wanted to do right now, other than hold each other close. "Now, why in the world did you need to get your iPad Ms. Casey?" Gabby smiled as Matt asked her that, before moving to lean back against his chest. After which, she just cuddled up to him and smirked due to the fact that he was really happy over the fact that this is everything that she wants right now. She just wants Matt to hold her close to him, as they relax with each other right now; I mean, what woman wouldn't want her husband to hold her in his arms as they just relax with each other right now? There's nothing like the man of her dreams holding each other close right now. It's what she wants to have, and she just wants to have her dreamy husband hold her close for the rest of her life. "An answer please Gabby?" Gabby laughed as she heard Matt ask her to answer, because she knew that she was being quiet right now. "Sorry, I was just really comfortable in your arms; and I love the fact that you're holding me close to you right now, like this."

Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before smiling due to the fact that he was glad that was the case. "Good, because that's something that I really want you to be. I want you to be comfortable in my arms for the rest of your life." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before leaning back as she cuddled up to her dreamy husband. "Oh, I am definitely comfortable." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that, before bending down and kissing her shoulder softly. After which, he went to whisper in Gabby's ear. "So, what exactly do you want to how me my dear wife?" Gabby smiled when Matt asked her what she wanted too show him. "Well, I want to show you something that I have been looking at recently. And it's something that I got from Jay, who has some contacts here in Hawaii." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby say that Jay has contacts here in Hawaii, and that he gave her someone to contact. "And what exactly would that be about?" Gabby then smiled as she went ahead and proceeded to show the man she loves what she wanted to show him. More specifically, she wants to show him the website that she currently had on her iPad.

And just what website might that be? A website related to service dogs, which is something that Matt said that he wanted to talk to her about anyways; so, they might as well look into it. Taking a breath, Matt decided that they need to talk about it first. "Can we talk about it first though? I want to make sure that we're on the same page." Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that, a bit confused when he said that; after all, isn't this what he wanted? "What are you talking about baby?" Matt took a breath as he went ahead and looked at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. After which, he moved his hand and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was really happy right now; and that's due to the fact that Gabby is the love of his life, and will always be the love of his life. "Are you sure that you're okay with this baby? I mean, this would be a lot. If you don't want to get a dog, then we don't have to. I can find other ways to figure things out." Gabby agreed with her husband when he said that, before looking up at Matt.

"Hey, if you need to have a service dog Matt; then I am more than okay with you having a service dog, and I mean that from the bottom of my heart." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, before proceeding to wrap his arm around her. After which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, Matt just smirked due to the fact that Gabby truly is the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. The way that they hold each other close is everything that they both want right now. "I love you Matt, and I am more than okay to do everything we can to make sure that you can deal with your PTSD properly. That's something that you already know, and it'll always be the case. I promise baby." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, before smiling as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. After which, Matt ran his hand up and down her back as they both just held each other close this afternoon. He then turned his head and smiled at her. "Did I ever tell you that you're the love of my life Gabby?" Gabby smiled when her husband said that, as she felt the same way.

"You're the love of my life too Matt." Smiling, Matt bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. After which, he just smiled due to the fact that this really is everything that he's ever wanted in life. He's always going to be very happy with the woman he loves, as that's just how he always feels when he's with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "You happy right now baby?" Matt laughed when Gabby asked him whether he was happy right now, because he most definitely was happy right now; he's always happy when they're together and just holding each other close. "Hey, of course I'm happy baby. I will always be happy when it comes to us holding each other close, because I love you more than anything in the entire world." Gabby greed with Matt when he said that, before smiling as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. After which, they both just held each other close as he ran his hand up and down her back. God, the way they hold each other close each and every day is perfect; and it's all he wants to do with his wife right now, and what he'll always want to do with her for the rest of his wife. And he truly believes that Gabby is already well aware of that.

So much so, that she didn't even need to talk to her husband about it any more; rather, she just ended up falling asleep in Matt's arms so that they can take it easy with each other. I mean, it's really easy to fall asleep when she's comfortable in Matt's arms; so, that's why it's so easy for her to fall asleep whenever she wants, because she just has to listen to his heartbeat, and she falls asleep instantly. And that's actually what ended up happening when she put her head on his heart this afternoon, she fell asleep in his arms as Matt looked at some information related to PTSD Service Dogs.
