And this is one of my new ones. Thanks again for reading, and I hope that you like it.

Chapter Eighty-Four
How We'll Make It Work

They made sure that they were comfortable in bed, with Gabby all cuddled up to the man of her dreams, before they started talking about a topic that Gabby felt like they needed to talk about. And that topic was how they're going to make it work, how they're going to balance everything. While she wants to believe that they'll be able to figure out how to balance work, their marriage, and three children; Gabby still feels like she needs to talk to Matt about it, that way they can go through all of the scenarios that they have to deal with in the future. So, that's exactly what they're going to do today as they cuddle up to each other. Cuddling up to Matt with her hand on his chest, Gabby smiled as she laid her head down on his toned chest; after which, she started to stroke his chest. At the same time, Matt wrapped his arm around her waist and put his hand on her arm. And boy was that feeling nice, as it made Gabby feel safe; but that's how she always feels when she's in Matt's arms, and she doesn't need it to be very tight (in her opinion at least).

So, that's something that she's going to have to tell Matt. "Uhm, baby?" Looking down at Gabby when she spoke to him for the first time since they sat up, Matt smiled at her; after which, he kissed her forehead softly. "Yeah?" Gabby then sighed as she ran her hand down his muscular chest. "Uhm, I think you might be holding onto me a bit too tight." Realizing that, Matt agreed with Gabby before proceeding to let go of her some; that way, she can relax and just cuddle up to him with ease (not that she isn't already doing that). And boy is she comfortable, which is always how she feels when she's in Matt's arms. "Sorry about that, is how I'm holding you now better?" Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, before turning his head to kiss her forehead softly. "Okay, so I think we need to talk now? That way, we can calm you down?" But Matt saying those words actually brought a bit more excitement in between the couple, because it was a key word; one of Andy's key words that leads him to jump onto his and Gabby's bed today.

Walking over to Matt, Andy went to make sure that he was okay; after which, he laid down right next to him and just looked at his handler. At the same time, Matt moved his hand to the top of Andy's head and smiled as he scratched the top of his head. "Hey, take it easy buddy. I'm okay. I know it was a key word, but it's not what I meant." Andy then proceeded to lick his face, which is most definitely not something that he wanted. Putting his hand on the side of his face, Matt looked at his dog. "Hey, calm down and take it easy. Everything's fine, and you can calm down. Okay?" Andy agreed with Matt when he said that, before smiling at him; after which, he proceeded to walk over to the end of Matt and Gabby's bed so that he can relax. Smiling as she watched Andy do that, Gabby cuddled up to Matt again and laid her head back down on his shoulder; at the same time, she put her hand on the top of his chest. Stroking it with her thumb, Gabby smiled as she's currently extremely comfortable right now. God, this is so damn comfortable.

"Okay, so we need to talk about something." Matt took a breath when he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case. "Yeah, there is something that I want to talk about." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware of what he wants to talk to her about; and that's him being an absent father, which is most definitely not something that's going to happen. "I mean, am I stupid for worrying about that?" Looking up at the man she loves, Gabby shook her head as she doesn't want him to ever call himself stupid. "Hey, don't call yourself that. Baby, you already know my answer to this, because I always tell you." Sitting up, Gabby looked at the man she loves; after which, she reached out to grab his hand. "Baby, I mean that okay? You aren't stupid. You are a brilliant man." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling at her; after which, she proceeded to lay down again. Moving her hand to Matt's face, Gabby smiled as she kissed him softly. Moving his hands to Gabby's neck, Matt smirked due to the fact that she's really happy.

"I love you so much." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that's the case. "Hey, I know that baby; and I will always know that you love me more than anything in the entire world." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, after which he watches as she proceeded to cuddle up to him once again; after which, Matt wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead softly. "So, back to what we wanted to talk about. We want to talk about what you brought up, and that's the thing that you're worried about." Matt sighed as Gabby said that, before running his hand up and down her back. "Yeah." Gabby then proceeded to stroke his chest again, making sure that Matt is nice and calm. "So, about this thing about you being an absent father." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, wrapping his arm around Gabby nice and tight; after which, she laid her head down on his heart as they relaxed in each other's arms. Smiling as Gabby did that, Matt turned his head and proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. "God, so comfortable."

Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case; after all, he's always comfortable when she's in his arms. "So, back to the topic that we want to talk about." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, well aware that she was comfortable. "Oh, I'm well aware of the fact that you're very comfortable in my arms." Gabby smiled as she laid her head down again, before stroking his chest as she put her hand down; after which, Matt turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "It's about me not wanting to be an absent father." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware of the fact that he was worried about that. "I want you to remember that's not going to be something that happens. And I can already say that because I have the evidence to prove that." Looking down at Gabby when she said that, Matt was a bit confused. "What are you talking about?" Gabby looked up at Matt, smiling at him. "I'm basing it on how you are with Matteo and Noah. Baby, you balance everything perfectly." Matt took a breath, sighing.

"Well, I hope that I do." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that because he most definitely did and does. "Baby, why are you second guessing yourself? Matt, you're a great dad, you know that." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, before turning his head and kissing her forehead softly. After which, Matt ran his hand up and down her back and just held Gabby close to him. Running his hand close to her lingerie, Matt smirked as he went to play with the strap that was on top of her shoulder. Smiling as he did that, Gabby laid her head down before turning her head and bending down to kiss his chest; after which, Matt wrapped his arm around her waist. At the same time, Matt turned his head and smiled as he kissed her forehead softly. And let's just say that this truly is perfect, as Gabby is really comfortable. "I know that I'm a great dad, but I'm starting to think about being a great husband." Gabby looked up at Matt again when he said that. "Hey, you're a great husband baby; that's the truth, and you don't have to worry about that." Matt sighed.

After which, Gabby grabbed his hand and proceeded to intertwine their fingers. "Baby, look at me." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, proceeding to look down at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Matt, I love you; and I wouldn't tell you about this, if it wasn't true. Matteo and Noah love you more than anything. And if they we're toddlers, then I know that they would be jumping all over you all the time." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, as he could definitely see that being the truth. "Yeah, that makes sense. And I think that our baby girl is going to do the same." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before laying her head down on his chest again; after which, he wrapped his arm around her back. He then stroked her back and smiled due to the fact that this is perfect, and boy is he happy over the fact that they're currently holding each other close. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he kissed her forehead once again. Anyways, what's better than the two of them holding each other close.

He then went ahead and started to think about what it'll be like if they have a daughter, which he most definitely wants to have. "I can really see that happening for some reason." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling due to the fact that she's just happy to be holding him close. After which, Matt decided to wrap his arm around her some more; he then put his hand on her underwear and stroked her butt with his thumb. And let's just say that Gabby loved the feeling of Matt stroking her butt. As weird as it sounds, she also finds that it's really sexy. "God, that's so damn sexy." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, after which he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "You're sexy." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, before smiling as she ran her hand down his chest. "And that's why I want to be able to spend this time with you more often, before we have three kids." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, laying her head down some more; at the same time, Gabby turned her head and bent down to kiss his chest.

"So, when it comes to balancing business and family; you're going to work…" Matt sighed. "Maybe I can take weekends off, and do business 9-to-5 during the week." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, liking that. "But there is something else that we need to think about." Matt looked at Gabby when she said that. "What are you talking abut baby?" Gabby sighed as she looked down. "Listen, I don't want you to worry about this; but I know that we need to talk about this, because we need to think about it." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, looking into Gabby's eyes. "And what's that?" Gabby took a breath as she looked up at Matt. "Listen, I know that you don't want to be an absent father, and I already told you that you aren't going to do that; but the truth is, there are going to be times where we both know that can't always be the case." Matt just looked at Gabby when she said that. "And what would that be?" Gabby sighed as she looked up at the man she loves. "Travelling." Matt looked at Gabby, before smiling at his wife.

"God, that's going to be so much fun." Gabby was confused when she heard Matt say that, before looking up at him. "How is us being away from our kids going to be a lot of fun?" Matt was shocked as he heard Gabby say that, before putting his hand on her arm. "Wait, you don't want to take the kids with us if we have to travel on business?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt ask her that, as she didn't think that was that he was planning on doing. "Okay, we definitely need to talk about that and get on the same page." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling as he looked at her; after which, he proceeded to bend down and kissed the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I want to bring the kids with us on business trips, and there's a reason for that." Gabby was a bit confused when Matt say that. "There is?" Matt smiled when Gabby asked him that question, before kissing her forehead softly. "Yeah, there is." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that. "And are you going to tell me what that is?"

Matt smiled as Gabby ask him that. "I want our kids to see the world, and I want them to see all the places where we can have fun together. Like I already said, I don't want to be an absent father when it comes to them kids; so, that means that we need to take them with us." Gabby took a breath when Matt said that, because she knows that they need to talk about this. "Okay, I know I'm the one that said no business; but this is something that we need to talk about. I mean, we're talking about us bringing our kids on the business trips with us. So, I can't help but wonder; what if our friends want to bring their kids with them?"

As Gabby asked him what will happen if their friends want to bring their kids with them, Matt took a breath due to the fact that he hasn't really thought about that. After which, he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. Running his hand up and down Gabby's back shortly afterwards, Matt put his hand on the top of her back and stroked it with her thumb. After which, he kissed her forehead once again. "God, this is going to be hard." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, because that most definitely is something that they need to talk about; they need to talk about how they're going to deal with their friends wanting to bring their kids with them. "I know it is, because we're really close to everybody now; and I would feel horrible if we left their kids behind, when we're bringing our own kids." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, well aware that was something they had to consider.

After which, Matt ran his hand up and down her back. "Okay, let's just be clear with something. There is going to be one person who will be joining us on every one of our trips." Looking up at Matt when he said that, Gabby was confused. "And who would that be?" Matt smiled as he looked down at his beautiful wife again. "That would be Andy, who will always come with us." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, because that makes sense. "Ok. Well that means something else, that means that Jay and Alex need too be allowed to bring Max along to make it fair." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, before taking a breath; after which, he proceeded to grab her hand and intertwined their fingers. "Now, I think we already know that we need to think about things." Looking up at Matt, Gabby was confused. "First, we need to take breastfeeding into consideration. If one of our friends are breastfeeding…" Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, as that most definitely is something that they need to take into consideration.

"And the same goes for us. If you were still breastfeeding the boys when we went on our first business trip, then we would've brought the boys; and that means that we need to let our friends do that as well, because it's fair." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as that's something fair. "But then there's other things that we need to think about, and that's experiences that you can have near some destinations." Gabby thought about it. "What do you mean?" Matt took a breath. "Full stop, we need to agree this. Any trips to Chicago, we'll rent a big plane and take the kids. That way, they can see their homes." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, laughing as she most definitely wants to do that; at the same time, Matt put his hand on her arm and stroked it with his thumb. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he kissed her forehead softly as they held each other close. "Okay, there's one city that has to be exempt from that." Kissing her forehead, Matt agreed with his beautiful wife. "And where would that be?" Gabby smirked.

"Paris." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that. "Oh, that's a trip that we're going to take alone. I am not bringing anybody with me to Paris." Gabby looked up at me when I said that. "Not even your wife?" Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that. "Oh, I most definitely plan on bringing my wife with me." Sitting up, Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that; after which, Matt decided to sit up and moved close to the woman he loves. Wrapping his arms around Gabby, Matt put his hands on her back before wrapping his arms around her; after which, she wrapped her arms around his neck and proceeded to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Just taking things nice and slow with the man she loves more than anything in the entire world, Gabby smirked due to the fact that this is really sexy. "God, I both love and hate it when you wear body suits for me." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that; after which, she put her hands on his face and bent down to kiss him softly. "God, you are so damn sexy Matthew."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before wrapping his arms around her; after all, that's exactly what the couple both want. Bending down, Matt proceeded to kiss her neck softly. Moaning as she felt Matt suck on her neck, Gabby was more than happy that this is what they're in the midst of doing right now; after all, her husband is so damn sexy. "God, I love you so much." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, as he most definitely feels the same way. Running his hands up her back once again, Matt smirked as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss his beautiful wife softly; continuing to take things nice and slow with Gabby, Matt couldn't help but be so happy. And that was especially the case when it comes to the fact that she's pregnant with their third child, which he really hopes is a girl. "Gender, what gender do you want Gabby?" Turning her head, Gabby laughed as she looked down at the man she loves. "I think we both already spoke about this. I want a baby girl. I want a daughter for you." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife, smiling at her.

Afterwards, Gabby proceeded to get close to the man she loves more than anything in the entire world; wrapping his arms around Matt's neck, Gabby made sure to press her body against his as a way to tease him. After which, Matt ran his hands up her back and bent down to kiss her breast softly. Moaning as she felt Matt's lips on her neck, Gabby smiled as this really is perfect. "God, you're going to make me want you to take off my lingerie and please me." Looking up at his wife as she said that, Matt smirked as he leaned up and proceeded to kiss her softly. After which, they continued to take things nice and slow with each other; running her hands down his chest, Gabby couldn't help but be extremely happy right now. Moving his hands to Gabby's hips, he then proceeded to run his hands down her lower back. Running his hands up her back again, Matt smirked as he kissed her softly. "God, I want to take you in my arms so bad." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that. "Then do it baby." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby tell him that.

After which, Gabby moved her hands to the back of Matt's head; taking things nice and slow with the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that this really is perfect. After which, Matt moved to lay down on his back with Gabby on his chest. Putting her hands on Matt's muscular chest, Gabby smiled as she took things nice and slow with the man she loves; after which, Matt ran his hands down Gabby's back so that he can grab her lingerie. "I want this off now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that. "Let me guess, you want to start making love to me right now?" Moving his hand to Gabby's neck, Matt smirked as he agreed with her. "Oh, I most definitely want to make love to you starting now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smirking due to the fact that it's what she wants too; she wants to make love to her husband, who just started to help her get undressed. And let's just say that he did a great job. He always does it so easy, and he's glad that it always so easy; because it means that they can get right to it.

Rolling over on top of Gabby shortly after getting her undressed, Matt smirked due to the fact that this is everything he wants right now; he wants to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, and that's exactly what Gabby is to him. She's the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, and will always be the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. Bending down, Matt smirked as he started to make love to her; after all, that's everything she wants right now. And it's also what he wants, because it gives them a real chance to celebrate the fact that she's pregnant again. Even though they did celebrate the pregnancy the night before, that didn't mean that she didn't want to have fun with her once again. He just wants to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, and they want to take it easy with each other. "God, you are so sexy baby." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before putting her hands on his face. "I love you too Matt, and I love this so damn much."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, well aware that's the case; I mean, what's better than the two of them making love to each other as they spend some quality time with each other in bed today. Sure, they could be with their boys; but that wasn't where the couple really wanted to be right now. Rather, they wanted to be with each other in bed. But more specifically, he wants to be in bed with her as they make love to each other. And damn is his wife good in bed. She is such a turn on, and Matt truly feels like a lucky man.
