Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters. I hope that you guys are enjoying where this story is going, and I am more than ready to continue to head down this path with you guys; and to do that, I need to get writing. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. Now, I do want to say something first. If you guys want me to do a storyline relating to your city/state, then I am more than open to it; just send me an idea in a message, and we'll talk. Thanks again for reading, and whatever ideas you've sent me. But now, I am going to just get down to it. Here we go with today's Chapters, starting with Chapter Sixty-Four; a chapter that comes with celebration. Enjoy.

Quick Note: I want to let you guys know that I am going to skip a bit after this chapter to the boys' next nap (2:30 pm), and a bit of time alone. Also, I updated the last chapter to try and change some of the timeline to make this make sense; hopefully it still does.

Chapter Sixty-Four
Celebrating the Deal, Part One

Casey Living Room, 1:30 PM
It didn't take long after Matt and Gabby made their way out to the living room, that somebody made the request that they always get the minute they come out with the boys; and that was that they wanted to hold them. And while Gabby did want to hold one of the boys, Matt was open to letting somebody hold one of the boys; and that was due to the fact that it would let him do some other things that he wants to do, both on a personal level and on a professional level. And right now, that was something that he was going to do. Well, after he comes back with something else for his sons. Walking out of the kitchen with some fresh bottles for their sons (which was going to be their drinks of celebration), Matt smiled as he saw Camila holding Matteo; at the same time, Stella was holding Noah. And let's just say that actually surprised Matt, as he thought that Gabby was going to feed one of the boys; but if she wasn't, then he was okay with that as it would make things easier. And that was due to the fact that he wanted to thank his wife, for everything she's done. While Gabby doesn't like to acknowledge the fact that she plays a huge part in the company, he wants to make sure she knows that. He truly believes that he couldn't do this without her. She's his partner in life, and she's the woman he's proud to call his girl.

Walking into the living room with the bottles, Matt smiled as he walked over to Camila and Stella. "Here, I got some bottles for the boys." Looking up at her son-in-law when he said that, Camila smiled as she proceeded to grab the bottle. "Thanks Matt." Matt agreed with Camila when she said that, before walking over to Stella. "And this is for Noah." Looking up at Matt, Stella agreed before going to grab the bottle which she was going to use to feed Noah for him and Gabby (she told them that she wanted to practice). And that was something that Matt really liked, as it was making things much easier. "How about you guys wait to feed them though? Those are the drinks that they're going to have to celebrate the deal." Camila laughed as she heard Matt say that, as that was definitely something that made her laugh. "I think they're already celebrating because they're proud of their daddy." Matt agreed with Camila when she said that, before bending down and looking at Matteo. "Yeah, you're proud of daddy; aren't you Matteo?" Matteo smiled as his daddy kissed his cheek. "Thanks for making some sandwiches for lunch. We'll have them in a minute." Camila agreed with Matt, smiling. After which, Matt got up again so that he could make his way over to Gabby; that way, he can have her at the front with him.

Just looking at his beautiful wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was really happy right now. After which, he went ahead and looked at the most beautiful woman in the entire world. And that was truly what he meant. He means it when he says that Gabby is the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and that will always be the case; and right now, Matt wants to make sure that Gabby knows just how much he loves her, and how much he truly relies on her. Just walking up to his girl, Matt smiled as he went to get up. "I want you at the front with me as we celebrate this deal." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, agreeing with him; after all, she is the woman who will always be on his arm when they celebrate any deals in the future. And if he wants her on his arm, then she will be there every single time; after all, that was her rightful place as his wife. Getting up, Gabby smiled as she got close to Matt and just wrapped her arms around him; after which, she leaned in and proceeded to kiss him softly. "Congratulations again baby." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before smiling as he grabbed her hand; after which, he led her towards the front to distribute the drinks that they already have. Going to grab them, Matt, and Gabby both smiled at each other; after all, this was such a big deal.

This is their first business deal since they started the company, and they really need to celebrate this. Just carrying the drinks all around, Matt and Gabby both smirked due to the fact that they are ready to celebrate this with their friends; at the same time, Matt is ready to thank his wife. Because she deserves to be thanked, because that is something that she will not avoid; the fact that she is the love of his life, and that she is going to be thanked for everything that she's done for him. She's been such a big support to him, both on a personal and professional basis; and Gabby needs to know just how much he appreciates that. But right now, he needs to concentrate on something else; and that's distributing the champagne that they are going to be sharing with their friends. But their friends couldn't help but wonder if there's something else going on in his mind, based solely on the fact that he has such a big grin on his face. Looking at his best friend, Kelly smirked as he walked past him. "I can only assume that something is happening. Wait, do you have another…" Matt just looked at his best friend. "Oh, no. Just calm down. You'll see in a minute." Kelly agreed with Matt, smiling.

At the same time, Matt made sure to start calming down; the husband not wanting to make people think that he and Gabby are being naughty with each other (not that he would be against that), as they celebrate the deal. But rather, he's smiling due to the fact that he loves Gabby more than anything, and he wants to make sure that she knows that (but you already know that); and it's time for him to do that, as he toasts both to the new deal, and to his wife who has been his biggest supporter the entire time (which he loves her for).

With everybody now having their drinks, Matt smiled as he went to the front of the room (where Gabby was currently waiting for him); and that was perfect, as it was exactly where Gabby wanted to be. But if she wasn't there, then she would be asked to join him up there regardless. And let's just say that Matt can't wait to tell Gabby what he has to tell her, that he has to thank her; and that they really need to celebrate this deal, while also thanking all his friends have done for his. While some of their friends may believe that they haven't done anything to do this, that isn't the truth; they have really helped them start this deal, and he's so glad that they are going to be doing this as friends. Now, time to get this celebration started. Walking over to the front, where Gabby was waiting for him, Matt smiled as he looked at his girl and proceeded to walk his arm around Gabby. Smiling as she cuddled up to Matt, Gabby just laughed due to the fact that she always loves to cuddle up to her husband whenever she gets a chance to do just that; as she is now. But what Gabby doesn't know is that Matt plans on thanking her, which Matt hopes she doesn't rebuff his thank you.

Smiling at everybody, Matt smirked due to the fact that everybody was currently there, looking at him as they went ahead and proceeded to just wait for him to speak. Standing up with Gabby, Matt smiled as he looked around the room and just concentrated on the fact that he was happy right now; because that really was how Matt was feeling, he was happy with everything. And now, time for Matt to start that. "Okay, so listen. I know that I don't need to say this, because it goes with what you guys have done for us so far. But I do want to say this. I want to just take a moment to thank you all for what you guys have done for us. Having left your lives behind in Chicago, and just come with us; first to Hawaii, and then here to California. You guys really came here on a limb, and you guys had absolutely no idea whether this company would even work out." Everybody agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware that was the case. "But you guys came here, and you guys had no idea just how much it would work out. And now, we all know that things have worked out; and we have this company, which is finally successful thank to this deal that we have with the CFD for these products."

Everybody agreed with Matt when he said that, who was smiling at everybody. "I especially want to thank Kelly and Stella for all that you guys have done to get this deal, especially since I had to take time away sometimes; yet you guys still pursued this deal, and you now got us such a great deal. And this deal really will make a huge difference in the future of our company. This deal will show us that we have a major city who trusts us with making vehicles that save lives, and it may lead to us having other deals that may come our way; and I truly believe that will be the case, especially since this also means that we now have the ability to expand much more. But we can talk about that another time." Everybody agreed with Matt when he said that, before smiling as he looked at all of his friends; after which, he turned his head and looked at his beautiful wife (whom he plans on thanking now). "But before we drink this champagne, I want to do something else." Gabby then looked at Matt when he said that, a bit confused due to the fact that she had a feeling that he was going to be thanking her for something; but she wasn't going to complain over the fact that he wanted to do so.

Looking at the woman he loves, Matt smiled due to the fact that he was ready tell his wife just how much he loves her. "I want to thank my wife, who has been by my side through this all. Gabby, you know full well that there were so many times where I didn't think I could really do this; and there were times that I wanted to give up, because that was something that we both know I wanted to do at some point." Turning to look at their friends, Matt sighed. "Sorry about that, I really wanted to continue but…" Kelly then looked at his best friend, and shut him down. "Matt, it's okay; just take a breath and relax, we understand why you might have thought that was the case." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that, as that truly was the case. He then proceeded to continue speaking to Gabby. "Gabby, you have been my biggest fan, you have been my biggest supporter, and you have made me feel like I can do everything; at the same time, you have been both taking care of the boys, while also trying to do your own thing." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she looked at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world; the man she also craves pretty bad.

"And Gabby, I truly mean that more than anything. You are the only way that I can do this, and I never want to hear you say that I can do this without you…." Matt then turned to look at his friends, smiling at them. "I couldn't do this without all of you, because this was a team effort. As much as I was the only one that funded this, this truly was a team effort; and I am so proud of the fact that I have you guys on my team. Thank you so much for believing in me, and to the future on the company and future projects." Everybody agreed with Matt when he said that. "To the future!" For the married couples, they are turned to look at their spouses, before smiling as they proceeded to share a kiss with their spouse. Taking things slow with Gabby, Matt smirked due to the fact that he truly was happy with his wife; after which, they both proceeded to take some sips of their champagnes while celebrating the fact that they now have this nice deal that was going to push them into the future for a long time; and that's exactly what they need after all. They need a deal that will take them into the future, and boy are they glad that they finally have this deal to make sure that they survive for a long time.

They just finished drinking their champagne together as a group, the champagne that was formerly in the glasses that Matt just finished bringing into the kitchen to start washing (while Gabby ate); but little did Matt know that Gabby wasn't out there eating. Rather, she was in the kitchen with Matt right now as she wanted to talk to her husband for a moment. And even better, she wanted to thank him for what she said; and also wanted to talk to him about what he said to her. They need to talk about it, and she's just glad that they are talking this way. And that was exactly what they're going to do right now. Coming into the kitchen, Gabby smiled as she looked at her husband as he stood at the sink. "I like what you said out there when you made the toast." Turning around when he heard Gabby say that, Matt smiled due to the fact that he was happy. "Baby, I meant every word that I said; I truly mean that." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before smiling as she walked over to the man she loves. She then went ahead and just smirked due to the fact that she wanted to take a moment with her loving husband. Just walking over to Matt, Gabby smirked due to the fact that she was really happy right now. Just walking up to Matt, Gabby got nice and close to her loving husband this afternoon.

Wrapping his arms around Gabby this afternoon as she stood close to him, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around his beautiful wife; after which, he brought her against his chest and just smirked due to the fact that he loves holding the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. Putting her hands on Matt's strong arms, Gabby smiled as she looked up at him. "I hope you know that I really did mean every word I said." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before getting close to her dreamy husband; after which, she cuddled up to him some more while leaning up to kiss him softly. Taking things slow with her dreamy husband, Matt smirked due to the fact that he loved what he felt against his chest; and that was Gabby right against him. Slipping her legs in between his shortly afterwards, Gabby smirked due to the fact that she was well aware that she was in the midst of turning Matt on right now. Smirking, Matt wrapped his arms around her and then put his hands on her butt right now; leaning in, Matt smirked as he kissed Gabby softly. Taking things nice and slow with the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that she was extremely happy.

"I love you." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, before smiling as he proceeded to push a strand of hair behind her ear. "I love you too, and I am so glad that we're currently in the midst of just holding each other close. You are so beautiful, and I am so proud to call you my wife. There is nobody I would rather have by my side as we do this together." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling due to the fact that she was happy too. "I know baby, and I promise that you don't need to keep repeating it." Gabby then got close to her loving husband, and put her hands on his chest; after which, Matt got close to her and smirked as he decided to pick her up in his arms. Setting her down on the counter, Matt smirked as he got close to the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. Grabbing the back of his head, Gabby smiled as she felt Matt get nice and close to her; after which, he kissed her softly and just took things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, smiling due to the fact that he feels the same way about his wife; and the love of his wife, Gabriela Casey.

"I hope you know that I truly feel so lucky to have you as my girl, and this is something that I love; the way you support me, it's everything that I have ever wanted in life. I have always felt lucky to have you as my wife, and I want you to make sure that you always know that." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "Let me down baby, and just hold me in between you and the counter." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, doing just that; setting her down on the ground, Matt smiled as he went ahead and got close to the love of his life. After which, he grabbed her hands and proceeded to intertwine their fingers. "Baby, I know that you feel lucky to have me. I have always know that, because I feel the way you kiss me whenever you get a chance to do so. There's just this way that you kiss me that makes us both happy. And I know that we'll always be happy with each other." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that unable to hide the smile that he has on his face when it comes to the both of them being here with each other right now.

There's just something about Gabby that always makes him want to have the biggest grin on his face, and that will always be the case. Leaning in to kiss Gabby softly, Matt smirked due to the fact that he really does love her; moving his hands to Gabby's neck, Matt smirked as he just started to kiss her slowly (just like she wants him to do right now). She wants him to take things nice and slow with her, and make her feel loved my him; which is exactly what he wants to do as well, he wants to make her feel loved. "I swear, I love the way you kiss me. It's so delicate, and it's just perfect." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she told him that, before smirking as he kissed her softly once again; that was, until they heard somebody walk into the kitchen. "Oh, sorry guys." Turning around, Matt and Gabby both saw Stella there. "I mean it, sorry Gabby." Gabby then laughed. "No, it's fine. What is it girl?" Stella then smiled. "I just brought the plates that we have." Matt agreed with his best friend's wife/sister-in-law when she said that, before smiling at her. "Thanks for doing that Stella." Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, before walking into the kitchen with them.

She then made her way over to the sink, which they were standing next to. "Sorry about disturbing you guys." Matt agreed with Stella when she said that, smiling due to the fact that it was fine. "It's fine Stella, I mean it." Stella agreed with her boss when he said that, before giving him a bit of side eye; after all, she knows that it's not really fine. She knows the two of them better than they know themselves, and she knows that they were about to have a bit of fun with each other. "Really? Is it really okay? Because last time I checked, you guys were about to share a kiss with each other." Gabby just looked at Stella when she said that. "We were…" Crossing her arms, the ELLA Designer just looked at her best friend; after all, she does know her better than anybody in the entire world (aside from her husband). "Fine, that was exactly what we were going to do. But can you blame us? We want to celebrate this together too." Stella agreed with her best friend when she said that, well aware that was the case. "Let me guess, you want to have time alone?"

Turning his head, Matt looked at Gabby. "How about we wait until the boys need to take their naps? Then we can go to our room?" Gabby agreed with her husband when he said that, as she thought that was a good idea. "Yeah, I like that idea; and I think that would be a good time for us to relax. It can be our pre-supper rest time. I mean, unless you want to go eat out somewhere." Stella shrugged. "Not sure yet. But we'll figure it out. I know you guys want some time, and you will get it. Just not yet." Stella then proceeded to grab Gabby's hand, tugging her out of the kitchen (and away from her husband). "She's mine for now Matt!" Matt snickered as he heard Stella say that, completely okay with Gabby being 'hers' for now; after all, she'll be his later. "That's fine Stella, she'll be all mine soon enough." Gabby smirked while looking at her husband as he told her that, well aware of that fact as well; and let's just say that Gabby can't wait to be alone with her dreamy husband, that way they can celebrate the new deal that they have with each other.

And let's just say that was exactly what Matt was thinking about as his best friend's wife dragged his wife out of the kitchen this afternoon, just how much fun he was going to have with her when they're alone in bed; which was going to happen sooner than later.
