Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters. I want to apologize first for the fact that I was only able to give you a single update yesterday. I know that I normally write much more than that, but I went out to celebrate easter with my family; and we ended up getting home quite late. But today, I have no plans; and that means that I can dedicate myself to writing a bunch of nice chapters for you. Thanks for understanding, and I hope you like today's chapters; starting with this one, Chapter Eighty-Eight.


Chapter Eighty-Eight
Taking it Easy: Not Rushing It


They ended up stopping before they had a chance to make love to each other, as that was not what they wanted to do today; they just wanted to take it easy and relax with each other in bed. And that meant that they weren't going to have sex today. In fact, Matt doesn't even plan on taking off the lingerie that Gabby's wearing, no matter how sexy it is; he just wants to look at her wearing it all day. And luckily, Gabby is more than okay with that. After all, that was the entire reason why she was wearing this lingerie in the first place; it was so that she could have Matt admire her body, and just please her by running his hand all over her. And let's just say that was exactly what Matt was currently in the midst of doing. He's currently running his hand up and down her side, as they laid down next to each other and he stared into Gabby's eyes; the eyes that he loves staring into so much, that they always mesmerize him. Just looking at her the way he's currently looking at her makes him want to take it easy with her and show her just how much he truly loves her; but that wasn't necessary, because Gabby already knows just how much Matt loves her. He didn't even need to say it.

She can tell by his actions that he loves her, by the way he runs his hand up and down her body; and the way he kisses her. Oh, the kisses that Gabby is currently in the midst of sharing with Matt. When she said that it's perfect, she truly means that; and it's due to the fact that, just like their bodies, their lips always move in sync with each other. And the way that happens, it's just magical; and no other man has ever made her feel so loved, not like the way Matt does. Like the man of her dreams does. Like her husband, and the father of her children does. And that's the best part of Matt being her guy: him also being the father of their sons, and their future child; a child that they really believe will be a daughter, and that's a fact. They can't explain how they know, but they just know that it's going to be a daughter. And they can't wait to meet her in the future. But not anytime soon. Right now, Matt and Gabby are more than okay with it just being them, Matteo, and Noah. At least until next year, because that's what their boys need; they need time as their only children. And that started to make Gabby think of something, something that she hates to even think about; but she is.

And she can only imagine what Matt would say if he knew what she was thinking, but she also knew that he wasn't going to let her hide it from him; he always wants her to tell him what's on her mind, and there was no option other than to talk to Matt. Taking a breath, Gabby proceeded to grab Matt's hand (as she felt like she needed to hold it as they talked about this); and she felt that way, because she knew this was going to break his heart. It was going to break his heart that she's thinking this way, as this is the last way that Matt would ever want Gabby to feel; to feel like they're rushing when it comes to them having another child, because they aren't. The truth of the matter is, that there is never a 'right' time to have another baby for them; nor will there ever be a 'right' time to have another baby, as Matt will never not want to have more children with Gabby. Rather, Matt believed that this was the right time to have another baby for the simple reason that his beautiful wife is pregnant right now. And even if Gabby wasn't pregnant right now, he would still say the same thing. Matt wants a big family with the woman he loves, and that's why he will never complain about this.

And neither should Gabby worry about this because he's here for her, which is something that she's going to learn, just as soon as she tells him what she's thinking about. "Can we talk about something?" Looking at Gabby as they laid down next to each other in bed, Matt smiled as he decided to move closer to the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world; after which, he wrapped his arm around her back and tugged her against his chest. "Of course, we can; we can always talk whenever you need to talk to me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before smiling as she put her hand on his cheek. After which, she proceeded to take things nice and slow with the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before looking into her eyes. "I love you too baby, forever." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case; but she also knew that this was not a topic that he was going to enjoy talking about, so she had to do it carefully. That way, he wouldn't explode on her when it came to them speaking about this. "Uhm…" Just taking another breath, Gabby sighed.

"You know what, never min…" As he started to hear Gabby change her mind (because she was hesitant to say what was on her mind), Matt wrapped his arm around her and crashed his lips against hers. "Hey, take a breath and look at me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before smiling at him. "You know for a fact that you can talk to me about anything, and that will always be the case. So, whatever you need to tell me, I want to hear it right now Ms. Casey." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt tell her that, as she felt the same way. She wanted to talk to him, and she wanted to tell him what was on her mind right now; she just hated that it may break his heart. "Listen, I just want to preface it with this. I may hurt you, what I have to say." Looking at his wife as she told him that, Matt was confused. "Hey, come close to me; really close to me, and look into my eyes. I want to understand what you mean by that." Gabby sighed as she heard Matt say that but did as she was told to do anyways; because she wanted to make sure that Matt was okay when them talking about what she wants to talk about with him right now. Like she just said, this was a hard topic; but it was one they needed to talk about, which they will do so as soon as she's all cuddled up to him in bed today.

Wrapping her arms around Matt's neck once she was all cuddled up to him, Gabby smiled as she looked into his eyes and just cuddled up to him; she stared into his gorgeous eyes, as they held each other close in bed. At the same time, Matt wrapped his arm around her even more; putting his hand on her back, he stroked it with his thumb as they held each other close. "Hey, look at me; okay Gabby?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that. "I want you to remember what we promised each other on the RV trip, and that was that we would always talk to each other. That we would tell each other the truth, so that we can always help each other with our problems." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "I know." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she told him that, smiling at her. "I know you do, but you need to talk to me now Gabby. You need to let me know what's going on, that way I can help you." Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt tell her that, well aware of the fact that she needed to talk to him if she wanted to get his help with dealing with these feelings that she has right now; the feelings of doubt that this is the right time.

The right time for them to have another baby, or whether they were rushing this; especially when the boys are so young and are still going to need their full attention for a while. Taking a breath, Gabby looked at Matt; after which, she went to tell Matt what was on her mind. But there was just something in him, that he already knew what was on her mind; so, he gave her the answer that he would've told her right now. "We aren't rushing it whatsoever baby." Gabby was a bit taken aback as she heard Matt say that, obviously shocked that her husband already knew what she was thinking at the moment. "Okay, how in the world did…." Matt shrugged as Gabby began to ask him how he knew that was the question she wanted an answer to, because he really didn't know. That was the truth, and he wasn't going to lie that he already knew; but god, this is going to be a nice conversation between them. "I just had a feeling that was what you wanted to talk to me about. Don't ask me why but…I guess it's because I also have the question on my mind too." Gabby was a bit taken aback when she heard Matt say that, but she wasn't mad at him; not when she had the same question on her mind.

At the same time, Gabby also knew what this meant; it meant that they were going to have to talk about this. They were going to have to talk about what's on both of their minds, and how they really feel about it right now. "Do you want to start the conversation?" Looking at his wife as she asked him whether he wanted to start the conversation, Matt shook his head as he grabbed her hand and intertwined their fingers; after which, he moved nice and close to her. "I think you should, since you're the one that brought up this topic first; and I also feel this way because, ladies first." Gabby laughed as she heard Gabby say that, before leaning in and proceeding to kiss him softly. "Such a gentleman." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, smiling for the simple fact that he's madly in love with his beautiful wife. "So, what do say we get this conversation started? Because the sooner we tart, the sooner we can get past it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware of that fact; but that's when she thought about something. And that would be where she wants to have this conversation. "What do you say we move this conversation to the bath? We can talk in there."


The sight that came with walking into his and Gabby's primary suite was something else, it was pure beauty; and that was due to the fact that Matt was currently watching as the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world sits on the edge of their bath, while filling it up for the both of them. It was exactly what they both needed right now, to relax in each other's arms; that way, they could have this conversation in the right spot, and at the right time. And that was in the bath. Gabby's muscles would be so relaxed as she sits in his lap and cuddles up to him as she rests in his lap; while he gives her a massage, and showers her with kisses. And Matt also couldn't help but wonder if this is what they really should've done yesterday, just take it easy with each other as they sit in bed (or the bath). But, Matt can't change the past; he can only affect the future now, which is something that he most definitely wants to do. He doesn't want Gabby to think this way anymore, because he doesn't want her to worry about this. This is the right time, and it will always be the right time for them to have another child; another child that they've always dreamed of having with each other.

It's no secret that the couple do not want a small family, but a large family; and this is just the next step in the two of them achieving that goal, but Matt will understand if Gabby is starting to change her mind over the timing of all of this. Yes, would it be hard for them to get rid of one of their children (voluntarily)? Of course, it would; it's never easy. But Matt would stand by Gabby, and he would follow her lead; and that means with whatever decision she wants to make regarding their future child, which is something that she needs to know. She needs to know that he's here for her, whatever choice she may make with regards to the future of the child that they're currently pregnant with; and he's going to tell her that right now. Walking up behind Gabby at the bath, Matt smiled as he put his hands on her arms; after which, he bent down and left a kiss on top of her head and whispered to her. "I'm with you every step of the way, and I will support you in whatever decision you wish to make when it comes to the pregnancy." Turning her head as she heard Matt tell her that, Gabby was shocked as that was not something that she thought she'd hear from the man she loves. "What?"

Matt was a bit taken aback when he heard Gabby sound so surprised, as he thought that was what she wanted to hear him say; that he'd support her in her decisions. "I thought that was what you wanted, for me to go along with the decisions you make." Taking a breath as she heard Matt say that, Gabby proceeded to get up so that she could stand close to the man she loves; that way, they can hold each other and start talking about this question. At the same time, Matt put his hands on her hips and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that he loves her, because she knows that better than anybody; but she also knows that him saying that he'll support her decision isn't like it. He's always wanted a big family, and it truly breaks her heart to even think about him not wanting to have this child with her. And it also makes her wonder what he's thinking about right now. Wrapping her arms around Matt's torso, Gabby stepped close to him and looked up into his eyes. "Are you okay baby?" Taking a breath, Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him whether he was okay; because he most definitely was, and she knew that.

"Yes, I'm fine." Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that. "Then why are you telling me that you'd be okay with me not having the baby? That you'd be okay with me aborting the child we both know you want more than anything?" Matt took a breath as he heard Gabby ask him that, as he isn't really sure of the answer to said question now that she's said it out loud. "Honestly, I guess…." Moving to grab her husband's hand, Gabby looked at him while listening to him. "I just wanted to let you know that I'm here for you, and that I'll support you in whatever decision you make; whether we choose to go ahead with the pregnancy, or if we decide that it isn't the right time to go ahead with the pregnancy." Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt tell her that, as she knew this was hard for him to say. She could tell that this was a hard topic for him, and that this was really breaking his heart. "Matt, I can see it in your eyes that you don't really mean this." Matt sighed as he looked at Gabby while she told him that. "But I do mean it Gabby, from the bottom of my heart; if you don't feel like you're ready, then it's okay." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before kissing him softly.

Putting his hand on the side of her face, Matt smiled as he took things nice and slow with Gabby; after which, Gabby decided to calm him down by telling him how she really feels right now. "Matt, you have nothing to worry about. I want to have this baby with you, because I think I know the gender; and I do not want to loose a baby ever again. We've already lost two children together, and I am not ready to loose a third: we're doing this, and that's final. And don't you dare say the decision thing because it's my body." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, as she was not going to hear him complain over this. "Oh, don't worry; you aren't doing to hear me complaining over the fact that my beautiful wife wants to give me another baby." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, before leaning in and kissing the man she loves again; just taking things nice and slow with her dreamy husband, Gabby smiled as she ran her hand down his back. "Forgive me?" Matt was a bit taken aback when he heard Gabby ask him to forgive her, as he didn't know what for. "For what baby?" Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that.

"For even questioning it in the first place."


She felt horrible for even questioning whether they were rushing when it came to them having another baby, as it was something that she should've never done; after all, she and Matt have always wanted to have a lot of kids. And that's what they're going to have. Yes, is it risky to have three kids within twelve months? Of course, it is. But the last thing that she's going to do is question it, because they both want to have this beautiful child that she's currently pregnant with. But still, that they didn't mean that they weren't going to talk about the question that she just posed to Matt; because they will be speaking about it, as they relax in the bath together. And that was why Gabby was currently standing next to the bath, just waiting; waiting for the man she loves to sit in the bath, then she'll be able to climb into the bath with the man she loves more than anything right now. Looking at her man as he sat in the bath naked, Gabby smirked as he is such a hunk. "Damn, I love how sexy and muscular you are." Matt smiled, agreeing with his beautiful wife.

"Oh, you so like this sight." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before going to take off her bathrobe. "And you love this sight." Smirking as Gabby took off her robe for him, Matt nodded as he reached up for her hand. "Oh, and don't you forget it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before smiling as she bent down and proceeded to put her hands on his face; after which, she took things nice and slow with the man she loves like crazy. "Okay, I'm going to get in the bath with you now." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, because that was what he wanted her to do. He wanted her to sit in his lap and cuddle up to him in the bath. Climbing in with the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that she loves this man so much. Stepping in between his legs, Gabby smirked as she crouched down in between his legs; after which, she sat down in the bath and cuddled up to him. Leaning against his chest shortly afterwards, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around his toned chest this afternoon.

After which, Matt wrapped his arm around Gabby's back; smiling as Matt did that, Gabby just snuggled up into her man's chest as he's very cozy when they're in bed with each other. "God, I love cuddling up to you." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that, as he felt the same way; after all, what's better than holding his pregnant wife in his arms. Running her hands down Matt's chest, Gabby just smirked due to the fact that this really perfect; nothing like having the most wonderful man in the entire world holding her in his arms, as they cuddle up to each other in the bath together. Rubbing his hand up and down her back, Matt smiled as he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. After which, he whispered to Gabby as they just relaxed in bed together. "So, you want to talk about it one more time? How you're questioning whether this is the right time?" Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt ask her that. "I just feel stupid for even asking that question. I mean, of course we want to have this baby with each other." Matt agreed with his wife.

After which, he kissed her forehead softly while they cuddled up to each other. And let's just say that this is very comfortable, and that makes Gabby really happy; she's always happy when they're all cuddled up to each other. Whether that be in bed with each other, or here in the bath; that's what makes her really happy right now. God, this is perfect…and there will never be anything better than this. Running her hand down Matt's chest, Gabby smiled as she bent down and kissed his toned chest; after which, she laid her head down on his heart. Wrapping his arm around Gabby's back, Matt smirked due to the fact that he's currently very comfortable with Gabby. "Baby, can you listen to me for a minute?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that. "I never want you to feel bad for asking me questions okay baby? If you ever feel like you need to ask me things, then you can always talk to me; okay?" Gabby agreed with Matt.

Turning her head to look up at him, Gabby couldn't help but smile over the fact that she's married to the most wonderful man in the entire world. Slipping up his chest some more, Gabby smiled as she kissed him softly; after all, she did want to kiss the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. She wants to show him just how much she loves him, and that's exactly what she just did. She showed Matt just how crazy she is for him; not that she really needed to do that, as Matt already knew just how much she loves him. I mean, what husband doesn't know how much his wife loves him? Especially when she's pregnant with another one of their children, so soon after having given birth to their twins. "This is the right time for a baby, as I feel like it's something good. It's something that's making me happy, and I love that we're experiencing together." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, glad that was how he felt. "I'm glad that you feel that way." Looking down at his beautiful wife, Matt smirked as he loves Gabby more than anything.

"Hey, look up at me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she looked up at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. At the same time, Matt bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, Matt smirked due to the fact that this really is perfect; there's nothing like the feeling of his wife's lips on his, because he just loves kissing her. Laying her head back down on Matt's heart, Gabby smiled as she ran her hand down his toned chest. Running his hand up and down her back, Matt just smiled due to the fact that this is everything. Turning his head, Matt smirked as this is perfect. Kissing the top of Gabby's head once again, Matt just smirked due to the fact that he's extremely happy right now. There really isn't anything like the feeling of the two of them holding each other close. "God, this is so comfortable." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "Yes, yes it is. But if you shut up, then I think that would make it even more comfortable." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, before going ahead with kissing the top of her head once again.

Just relaxing in each other's arms as they cuddled up to each other, Matt smiled due to the fact that he's more than happy with his gorgeous wife. Whenever they're in bed, or in the bath with each other, they're always comfortable; and that's for the simple fact that they're holding each other close. And this is always what Matt is going to want to do. Hold his beautiful wife close to him.
