Hi Readers: What did you guys think of today's second chapter? Sorry it took so long for me to post it, but I just had to get it right for you guys. But now, I want to let you guys know that I originally planned to post this chapter as the second half of Chapter Sixty-Nine. But then I thought about it again, and I decided that it'd be better if it was separate. So, that's what I did. Thanks again for reading, and I hope that you guys enjoy today's third chapter, which will be a direct continuation of the last chapter, but with Jay's brother instead.

Chapter Seventy
Our Living Situation: Will, Natalie, and PJ

JAY: 'Hey, Matt just told me that we're moving operations from Hawaii to LA. What are you and Natalie going to do for a house?'

They were just out in the backyard guest house, within walking distance of where his brother was currently staying with his wife; but rather than walk out back so that they could talk to each other, he decided to give him a call so that they can talk about something. Then again, Will doesn't really want to move right now, especially since he and Natalie are currently still in bed together; the two of them having made love to each other the night before. And there's a reason for that, which is because they've agreed that they're ready. Ready to try and have a baby. But that wasn't what was on Will's mind at the moment. Rather, he was currently in the midst of speaking to his brother so that they can figure out what they're going to do when it comes to their living situation; which is something that he hasn't ever had to think about, because he didn't think that this would happen. And just what might 'this' be? It would be them moving the company to Los Angeles. But now, it's happened; and that means that he and Natalie actually have to talk about it. But right now, he needs to give Jay an adequate answer to his text. Taking a breath as he thought about it, Will answered his text.

WILL: 'Well, considering this is the first I'm hearing about this; I'm not sure. I'll have to talk to Natalie. Can we get together later?'

He hoped that text message would be enough, enough to get his brother off his back so that he can let him talk to Natalie about this turn of events that he just heard of; events that he believes he's going to talk to Natalie about, on the premise that it's going to happen. He can't explain why he believes it's going to be the case, but he just believes that it's going to be the case. So, he and Natalie have to talk; but first, she needs to wake up. And that was exactly what she just did this morning. Putting her hand on his back as she saw him sitting up, Natalie proceeded to sit up and then ran her hand up and down her husband's back. "Hey, what are you doing awake so early?" Turning around to look at Natalie this morning, Will smiled as he was glad that he no longer had to be awake. "Sorry, I was about to get back into bed; I just went to the washroom." Natalie agreed with her husband as he told her that. "Did I wake you up?" Natalie smiled. "I could hear you thinking." Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that, well aware of what she was talking about.

He always seems to tap his foot when he's thinking, or when he's reading a text message from his brother, which he just got one. Reaching over to grab his phone again, Will sighed. "Sorry Natalie, I was texting my brother before you woke up." Natalie agreed. "Is it Alex? She okay?" Will agreed with his beautiful wife when she asked him whether Alex was okay. "Yes, she's fine. Believe me Natalie, you would know if Alex wasn't okay." Natalie was confused as she heard her husband when she told him that, not understanding why she'd know that Alex wasn't okay. "Okay, you're going to have to explain that to me." Will snickered as he turned to look at his wife again. "I would've jumped out of bed, or Jay would've been knocking at our door begging us to get up so we can help her." Natalie thought about what Will just told her, before agreeing with her husband; after which, he proceeded to finally go ahead and read the text message that his brother just sent him this morning. That way, he can maybe get back in bed with his wife for a moment.

JAY: 'How about I talk to Matt (since I live in his home), I can ask him if we can all get together and get a meeting set up.'

Thinking about what Jay texted him, Will took a breath before thinking about what he should do; because he knows that Natalie wanted to spend time with him today, yet this does seem to be something important. Sitting up in bed behind her husband, Natalie was starting to get a bit concerned. "Is everything okay Will?" Will took a breath as he heard Natalie ask him that, before turning his head and looking at his beautiful wife. "Listen, how about I tell you what's going on with all the texts? Then we can send a reply to my brother?" Natalie was a bit confused as she heard her husband say that, before watching as he climbed into bed with her. "Okay, I know I'm just waking up; but I am so lost right now Will." Will agreed with his wife as she told him that, before moving close to her and putting his hand on her hip; after which, he leaned in and kissed her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Will smiled. "Sorry, how about I fill you in?" Natalie agreed with him as he told her that, before smiling as they laid down in bed together.

Grabbing his phone, Will made sure that it was in his hand when he moved close to Natalie; after which, he went to set his phone down behind her in bed. Wrapping his arm around Natalie, Will smiled as he put his hand on the back of her neck and smiled at the woman of his dreams; at the same time, Natalie put her hand on Will's face as she was unable to deny just how happy she was at the moment. After which, she leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before smiling as he ran his hand down her back. "I love you too, and I am so glad that we have this life together. You are the woman of my dreams, and I am so proud to call you my wife." Natalie smiled, agreeing with Will as he told her that before leaning in and kissing him again; after which, Will took things nice and slow with Natalie. "So, are you going to tell me what's going up right now?" Will sighed as he heard Natalie ask him that question, before agreeing to do just that this morning.

"Jay just texted me, and he told me that Matt told him that he's moving operations from Hawaii to Los Angeles." Natalie seemed taken aback when she heard Will tell her that, as it was not something that she expected; especially not when Matt is a friend of hers. Se thought that she would've heard about it herself. "Okay, now that's something that I've heard yet." And it was as if somebody knew what was going on, because Natalie and Will's phones both soon blew up with some messages. Laughing a bit, Will smiled as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly; after which, he ran his hand up and down her back. "We can ignore them." Natalie sighed as she heard Wills ay that, as she was thinking about that as well. Yet, there was just something in her that made her feel like she needed to read the e-mail that she just got. "I just have this feeling that I need to read the e-mail that I just got, and I have no idea why." Will agreed with his wife when she said that, before leaning in and proceeding to kiss her softly; which is what Natalie wanted.

"Can we just say here today in bed? Enjoy ourselves, and maybe try for a baby?" Will smiled as he heard Natalie ask him that, as that is most definitely something that he wants to do; he wants to try and have a baby with his wife too. "Oh, I want to do that so much; but I think we both know that there is something else we need to do first, because we need to go talk to Matt. I have no doubt in my mind that's actually what was just in our inboxes right now. There's something that just tells me that we need to read the e-mail." Natalie agreed with Will when he told her that, before kissing him again. After which, she took things nice and slow with her incredible husband. "I love you." Will agreed with Natalie when she said that, before smiling as he took things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. "I love you too, and I can't wait to get you pregnant." Natalie smiled as she heard Will say that, as that's definitely something that she's interested in trying with him. "I've been dreaming about that too." Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that.

He then ran his hand up and down her back as they looked into each other's eyes, the both of them just taking a minute in their own world to think about them having a baby together. "Boy or girl?" Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that. "I want a boy." Natalie was actually quite surprised when Will told her that; as she thought, as a man, he'd want to have a daughter first. "Really?" Will smiled, agreeing with his wife. "Jay's already having two daughters first. So, he can be the first one to give my parents grandkids; I'll give him that. But I'm going to be the first brother to have a child to carry on the Halstead last name." Natalie smiled as she heard Will say that, as that's most definitely something that she loves the idea of. "Oh, I love that idea." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before leaning in and proceeding to kiss him softly. "I actually really like that idea." Will smiled. "And I already have name in mind." Natalie was a bit taken aback when she heard Will tell her that he already has a name in mind for their future, unborn child.

"You've already been thinking of names for our kids? When I'm not even pregnant?" Will smiled as he heard Natalie say that. "I just thought of one that you may like. I mean, if you want to hear it." Natalie agreed with Will when he asked her whether she wants to hear the name that he has in mind for their hypothetical future child, which she does. "Of course, I do." Will smiled as he heard Natalie say that she'd like to hear the name. "PJ Halstead." Natalie was a bit taken aback when she heard Will say that. "Wait, PJ? As in, Patrick, Jr?" Will shook his head when Natalie asked him whether he wants to name their child Patrick, Jr, because that was not the name; rather, the name he was thinking is Patrick Jeffrey Halstead. "Actually, that's not the name I was thinking…at least, not entirely." Natalie agreed with Will when he said that. "I was actually thinking Patrick Jeffrey Halstead."

They just finishing taking a shower together this morning, and are now about to have a quick conversation; a conversation about the name that Will just suggested that they name their (hypothetical) firstborn son. And while he thought that Natalie was going to be happy about it, it seemed that Natalie wasn't sure about it; but Will understands, as she seems to have a lot on her mind. And that was why they were going to talk for a bit, as they enjoyed a breakfast together. But first, Will is going to get his wife to open up to him and let her guard down again, which is something that she always puts up sometimes, not that she really needs to. She's his wife, and she's the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world; he would never hurt her, and she can always trust him. And this is one of those times, one of those times that she needs to trust him and open up to her. Walking into the kitchen carrying his phone (along with their water bottles), Will took a breath as he could see that Natalie was still quite stressed about it right now.

Setting his and Natalie's water bottles on the counter, Will then put his phone in his pocket as he walked up behind Natalie. Putting his hands on Natalie's hips, Will brought his beautiful wife back against his chest while cuddling up to her; after which, he bent down and kissed her shoulder softly. Taking a breath, Will then proceeded to whisper to Natalie. "You have something on your mind right now." Natalie sighed as she thought about what Will just said, before nodding. "Yeah, I guess…I just wasn't expecting that." Will agreed with his wife when she said that, before moving his hand to her hip so that he can push on it; that way, he can get her to turn around and face him. "Natalie, can you turn around and face me? I want to talk." Natalie agreed with Will when he said that, before turning around and facing the man she loves; after which, she got close to him and wrapped her arms around his torso. At the same time, Will wrapped his arms around her as well as a way to give her the comfort that she needs right now. She needs him to hold her close.

Putting his hand on her arm, Will looked at his beautiful wife before smiling at her. "How about you breathe for me?" Natalie agreed with Will, before proceeding to breathe (just like he asked her to do). After which, he moved his hands close to her arms and just smiled due to the fact that he's really happy over the fact that they're even holding each other close at the moment. After all, Will loves his wife more than anything in the entire world…and the last thing that he wants to do is hurt his wife. And that's why, if she doesn't want to use the middle name Jeffrey, then they don't need to use that name as a middle name. Smiling at his beautiful wife, Will ran his hands down her arms and just made sure that she knew that she can talk to him. "You okay?" Natalie took a breath when Will asked her whether she was okay. "I guess, I just didn't expect you to say that." Will agreed with his wife when she said that, well aware that was the case. She then got close to her and proceeded to kiss her forehead softly.

"Yeah, I can see that now. But I thought maybe it was something you'd agree too. Natalie, I know that you want to honor Jeff in some way, shape or form. I know you, so I thought that would be something. So, I thought my dad and your late husband." Natalie agreed with Will when he told her that, before stepping close to him and going to put her hands on his chest. After which, Will wrapped his arms around her and then leaned in to kiss her softly. Holding Natalie close to him, Will smiled as they both held each other close. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything, Will smiled as he made sure to calm her down. "I love you Natalie." Natalie agreed with Will when he told her that, feeling the same way. "I love you too Will, and I'm glad that you're here for me." Putting his hand on the side of Natalie's face, Will stroked her cheek and smiled at her. "Natalie, I'll always be here for you; that's something that you can always count on." Natalie agreed with Will when he said that, smiling at her incredible husband.

She then proceeded to get close to him, wrapping her arms around his neck as they held each other close; after which, Will put his hands on her back and just held her close to him. Rubbing her waist, Will smiled due to the fact that he was quite happy to be holding her in his arms; after which, he smiled as he leaned back and looked at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Listen, how about you go make us some breakfast? I have to go keep listening to that seminar that I was listening to." Will looked at Natalie when she said that. "You mean that seminar on PTSD and how we can run the clinic?" Natalie agreed with Will. "I also need to send Matt my demos." Will smiled when he heard Natalie say that. "When did you record the demos that we want to release? I didn't hear you." Natalie smiled. "I did it while you were moving boxes. I was here remember?" Will agreed with his wife when she said that, before smiling. "How about you put some on?" Natalie agreed with her husband, ready to do just that so that he can listen.

Hi Matt:
I want to first let you know that I've also sent this e-mail to Jay, Will and Antonio ahead of time; but that's just so that they can already have some of the files that I am sending to you right now, that way you can all listen to them. But this is just a little project that I've been doing on my own as part of the Casey PTSD Services division. I thought I could create some music, that people can use to relax. Now, we can (of course) maybe get some other people to do it too; and we can also get professionals to do it, with the assistance of doctors who specialize in this (as that is now what I am). But I hope that you can take a listen, and I hope that you enjoy them.

Thanks for listening ahead of time.

Dr. Natalie Halstead, M.D.
Co-Chief Medical Officer, Casey PTSD Services
Family Doctor, Casey-Halstead Clinic for Mental Health

She just finished sending the e-mail to Matt today (while sending a copy to Jay, Will, and Antonio; after all, they are part of the team which is going to create the PTSD services division. The PTSD Services Division will be run out of Casey Police, of which Antonio is the CEO (which is why he's getting the e-mail). But now that it's done, Natalie went ahead and proceeded to make his way over to the table that she and Will have to eat. Seeing him setting the table, Natalie smiled as she was happy that he did that. "You didn't have to go all out." Looking up at his wife, Will smiled as he knew that was the case. "Yeah, not sure why I did. I think I am so used to doing it, since we rarely eat at home now a days. Between work, and my brother; we're always eating at other people's places." Natalie agreed with Will as he said that, before walking over to him. "And does that bother you?" Will sighed as Natalie asked him that, before seeing her walk over to him and slipping in between him and the stove that he was using to make some eggs and bacon this morning.

After which, he wrapped his arm around Natalie and just smiled as she put her hands on his chest. After which, she leaned in and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Taking things nice and slow with Natalie, Will smirked due to the fact that he's really happy. "Sorry I didn't put some music on." Will shook his head when Natalie said that, before moving both of his hands to her butt. "It's okay." Natalie agreed with Will when he told her that, before watching as he picked her up and then set her down on the edge of the counter; after which, Will got close to her and wrapped her legs around his waist. Putting her hands on Will's chest, Natalie smirked due to the fact that this is really sexy. Continuing to make breakfast for them, Will then started to kiss his beautiful wife's shoulder and neck as a way to tease her; starting to suck on her neck afterwards, Will just smirked as he knew that he was pleasing Natalie at the moment. And let's just say that she was happy too. "So listen, I think we need to talk about something."

Natalie agreed with Will when he said that. "And what would that be?" Will sighed. "I forget if I mentioned this or not, but Jay was thinking about what we're going to do when it comes to a living situation for the future; and I don't know what you want to do. Do you want to keep living here for a while? Or do you want to move out and find our own place." Natalie sighed when Will asked her that, well aware that it's something that they need to talk about. "Yeah, that's something that we need to figure out; especially when it comes to what we're doing. Anyways, there's these rumors that we're coming here forever." Will agreed with Natalie when she said that, well aware that's the case. "Well, what do you think of that?" Natalie smiled. "Hey, as long as we stay in the warmth; I'm more than happy." Will agreed with his wife when she said that, as he feels the same way. After which, Natalie just smirked due to the fact that this is everything that she wants. "I hope that we can figure this all out soon." Will agreed with his wife, smiling at her.

"I mean, would it really be this bad if we have to stay here? It's a nice place after all." Natalie smiled. "We'll figure it out, because it depends on what happens when we do have kids." Will agreed with Natalie. "Yeah, I think that's the biggest reason that we do need to move out." Natalie nodded as Will said that, well aware that was the case. "Let's wait a bit, at least until I'm pregnant. If we aren't pregnant, then why pay for a house?" Will sighed as he heard Natalie say that. "I have another reason to move out too." Natalie looked at her husband when he said that. "And what might that be?" Will sighed as he looked into Natalie's eyes. "Listen, as much as this is our home…it's not our home. It's Matt and Gabby's guest house. What if we want to customize it and stuff?" Natalie then thought about it, and agreed with Will when he said that as he made a great case. Will then got closer to her, which prompted her to hold him; after which, she kissed his neck softly. "Such a smart man." Will smiled as he heard Natalie say that, glad that she's happy right now.

After which, he bent down and kissed her shoulder softly. "I love you, and you definitely make a good point." Natalie then leaned back and put her hands on Will's neck. Bending down, she then proceeded to kiss them man she loves more than anything in the entire world. And let's just say that things most definitely do get steamy at times when they get sexy with each other. "God, you are such a tease when you kiss me like that." Natalie agreed with her loving husband as he told her that. She then went ahead and jumped off the counter. Wrapping his arms around Natalie as they both stood close to one another, Will smiled as he looked down at his wife; after which, Natalie put her hands on his arms due to the fact that they're both extremely happy with each other. And that's due to the fact that they're husband and wife. That's all that matters when it comes to them being happy. For the simple fact that they're married. And even if they weren't married, them being together makes her happy. And that's all she needs at the end of the day.
