Chapter One Hundred and Thirty-Two
Where is Our Forever Home?
"You want to make Hawaii our permanent home too?" -Gabriela Casey
'Too'. That was the word that Matt was currently zoning in on, as it was the word that really calmed him down; and it also reassured him that this conversation was not going to be one that involves stress, which is the last type of conversation that he wants to have with Gabby. That's especially the case, as Gabby is currently pregnant with their daughter. And that was why Matt hearing the word 'too' truly was music to his ears, as it calmed him down; and it made sure that they just relaxed together right now. And even better, it gave him a starting point for where he can start this conversation with the woman he loves this (late) afternoon; speaking of which, he should probably check whether she needs to eat before they start this conversation. "Listen, before we start; I need to do something as your husband." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure when it came to what Matt was talking about. "What are you talking about?" Smiling at the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that Gabby truly is the woman of his dreams.
"I need to do my job as your husband, and little Bella's daddy." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware of just what he was talking about; and that would be whether she needs to eat. Getting closer to Matt this afternoon, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around his torso; doing the same shortly afterwards, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around her back and just held the woman he loves close to him. And let's just say that it was exactly what Matt wanted to do right now, as it gave him a chance to stare into those gorgeous eyes. Moving his hand to the top of Gabby's back, Matt smirked as he slipped his arm under her head and started to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world; at least, he was until he heard someone disturb them. Squeaking his squeaky toy as he carried it into their room, Andy just walked past the end of their bed on his way to his own bed, which was located in the corner of his room. Turning his head, Matt laughed a bit as he looked at his service dog today.
At the same time, Gabby cuddled up to Matt as she put her hand on his muscular chest; meanwhile, Matt put his hand on her arm and just smiled as he stroked it with his thumb. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he looked down at his gorgeous wife due to the fact that this is everything that Matt wants right now. "That's my fault." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt tell her that, before putting her hand on his face; at the same time, she slipped her legs in between Matt's some more so that she was close to him. After which, Matt grabbed the covers and tugged them up on top of both of them, which was exactly what Gabby wanted, as he made her feel extremely comfortable in Matt's arms. Gabby then decided to wrap her arms around his neck so that she could be as close to him as possible, which prompted Matt wrap his arms around her waist to keep her close. Just looking down at his girl, Matt smirked due to the fact that he could tell that Gabby was really happy right now. God, she is so damn sexy, and he's happy to be holding her right now.
"Comfortable?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she was comfortable, because that most definitely was the case; and that was due to the fact that Matt was also in the midst of running his fingers up and down her back. "So, what were we talking about?" Gabby took a breath as she looked at Matt, before running her hand down Matt's chest. "First, can you promise me that we're going to hear each other out?" Moving his hand to Gabby's hand as he felt her run it down his chest, Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Hey, look at me." Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she looked up at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world; after which, she reached up and put her hand on his face. Wrapping his arm around Gabby's back again, Matt smirked as he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. "I promise, we're going to hear each other out; because that's what we need to do, we need to hear each other out so that we can make sure that we're on the same page." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that.
After which, Matt decided to run his hand up Gabby's back; that way, he can give her a bunch of comfort, which may even include him taking off her bra. But that wasn't going to happen yet, as he needs to just take it easy and make sure that they relax with each other right now; and not just right now, but for the entire weekend. Moving his hand to Gabby's side shortly afterwards, Matt smiled as he just tried to calm down; and that was due to the fact that he was starting to get a bit hormonal, which meant that he was going to want his wife soon. And let's just say that Gabby was glad that Matt was doing that, because it was calming them both down (which she showed him by putting her hand on his arm). "Thanks for calming down." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, because that was exactly what he needs to do; he knows that they need to relax, both for her sake…and for the sake of their children. They just need to relax, and they need to take their time today (and maybe even have sex later). Just not right now. Right now, they're talking and trying to figure everything out; because that's what they need to do, not only for their sake…but for the sake of their children.
"Hey, you don't need to thank me for calming down; the last thing that I want, is for our daughter to have any problems. I want our baby girl to be okay. The baby girl that I am already ready to meet." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I most definitely know that you're ready to meet our baby girl." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, as that most definitely is the truth; he wants to hold Bella in his arms, and he wants to make sure that they spend the rest of their lives as her parents. "Thanks again for coming home early by the way." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, as that wasn't something that she really needed to thank him for, as that was something that he wanted to do voluntarily; the minute he learned that they were going to get some time alone, then that was something that he wanted to do. He wanted to come home, and just be with the woman he loves. "I wanted to do this too baby, I want to spend time alone with you; and I want to just take this nice time with you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, really happy that was the case. Going to grab his hand, Matt smiled as she stroked his hand.
After which, she proceeded to play with his wedding band, which is something that she always does when she has something on her mind, and Matt knows that. "Okay, you have something on your mind; and you're going to talk to me about what that is, because we can talk about it with the unlimited time we have with each other right now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, taking a breath. "I guess, we just have a lot to figure out still." Matt agreed. "And we can talk about that all you want baby, you don't need to worry about that; you don't need to stress about it, and you just need to talk to me. And I mean that baby. I want you to talk to me, and I want you to just relax with me as we figure things out; so, how about we start with what's on your mind right now?" Gabby took a breath as she looked at Matt. "I guess…I can't help but wonder if this is going to be our life." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that, unsure of what exactly she was talking about. "What are you talking about baby? What do you mean by 'whether this is always going to be our life?' I mean, don't you like that this is our life?" Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that, biting her lip.
"Yes, of course I love that this is our life; because I love you, and I love the kids. But there are other things that I have on my mind, which is the fact that we haven't ever lived in a single place for an entire year since we had the boys. We've moved from Chicago to Hawaii, Hawaii to Los Angeles; and now, back to Hawaii. Is this going to be our life Matt? Are we always going to be going back and forth between here and Los Angeles, just going on a whim?" Matt looked at his wife as she said that, because that most definitely is not something that he wants her to worry about; where they are going to be living on a monthly, or even weekly basis. Rather, he wants her to know that this is home; yet at the same time, he can't help but wonder whether this question that she's asking her is actually going deeper. "Can I ask you a question Gabby?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that. "You mean, before you give me a response to my question?" Matt sighed. "I just want to know if this is about you wanting to have consistency in our life, wanting to know where we're going to be on a regular basis?" Gabby took a breath as Matt asked her that, as that was the truth of the matter.
"Yeah, that's something that's on my mind." Matt took a breath as he heard Gabby tell him that, well aware that was something that they needed to talk about. "I just want to know where the boys are going to be, especially before we have Bella. I mean, the further along I get along in my pregnancy; I can't help but wonder whether I'll be able to do it when we have three kids, on my own while you're on business." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I know, that's what you need to think about." Gabby took a breath as she looked at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world, before agreeing with him; after all, that was what they need to talk about right now. They have so much to work out, and they just need to make sure that they do this together. "Gabby, I hope you know that you can always talk to me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know, and that's why I want to talk about this right now." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as she got close to him again; after which, he stroked her hip and bent down to kiss her softly. Taking things slow with her, he smiled.
"I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that he loves her more than anything; I mean, what husband doesn't love his pregnant wife? "I know you do Matt." Matt smirked as he heard gabby say that. "So, we need to figure this out. Whether we want to life here in Hawaii, or in Los Angeles." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before smiling as she looked into his eyes. "So, what are you thinking first?" Matt took a breath. "Well, I think that we have a bunch of things that we can always consider; because we already know how things were here in Hawaii, and what things were in Los Angeles." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that most definitely was the case. "And I think we already know that we were much more stressed, while we were in Los Angeles; and I can't help but think that it wasn't something that we needed in our lives, when we need to have an easily life." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before smiling as she proceeded to move her hands to his face; after which, Matt moved his hand to her back and stroked it with his thumb before bending down and kissing the woman he loves softly this afternoon.
Running his hand up Gabby's back, Matt smirked as this was exactly what he wanted to do right now; he wanted to take things nice and slow with Gabby, as they held each other close in bed. "And after all we dealt with in Chicago, I can't help but wonder if this is faith; we came here when we first left Chicago, and then we came back after trying Los Angeles to escape the press. And we took that risk. Even though we were scared of the press and knew what we would be getting into; we still decided that it would be better that we were here in Hawaii, than be in Los Angeles where the Hawaii press can't bother us." Gabby smiled as she heard Gabby say that, as that most definitely was the case. "Yeah, I just realized that." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before putting his hand on her stomach; after which, he stroked her stomach and just smiled due to the fact that this is something he wants so bad. To be alone with the woman he loves, as they relax in bed with each other; and thanks to their family, it's what they're in the midst of doing with each other. Holding each other close in bed, as they just relax and take it easy with each other.
And when Matt says that this truly is perfect, he means it; he means it because Gabby is the love of his life, and there's nowhere he would rather be…other than with her in their bed. "So, I think now we just have one more decision when it comes to the whole home conversation." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure as to what exactly Matt meant. "What do you mean by that? We already agreed that we were going to live in Honolulu rather than Los Angeles." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling at the woman he loves. "Yes, and this is a decision that relates to our life here in Hawaii." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "Okay, and what would that be?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "So, we have two homes here in Hawaii: we have our home here at the office, the penthouse; and then we have our home on Noela Place, the big house. So, the decision that we need to make together right now; or we can talk about it first…but we need to talk about whether we want to live at our big house? Or whether we want to live here, at the penthouse with the boys…and someday soon, our Bella."
She decided that she no longer wanted to lay down next to Matt; rather, she wanted to lay down on his chest as they cuddled up to each other in bed. And the truth was, that was what Matt wanted as well; it's what he always wanted, as it meant that he was going to get a chance to run his hand up and down her back (like he always loves to do). And he isn't the only one who loves it when he runs his hand up and down Gabby's back, because she loves it too; because it means that Matt is running his wedding band up and down her back, as that is something that she most definitely loves to feel. Both due to the fact that it makes her feel extremely loved by the man of her dreams, and because it is just so relaxing; but it also does something, and that's calm her down. And that's what she needs to do right now, as they get ready to keep talking about some decisions that they want to make with each other. Having already decided that they are going to live in Hawaii with their family, Matt and Gabby now had to decide where in Honolulu they're going to live; whether they were going to live here at the penthouse, or if they're going to live at the big house (on Noela Place)?
And that was something that they really needed to think about, because there were a lot of things that they needed to consider; but first, they need to talk about something. And that's what's going to happen when she gives birth. "Okay, can we first agree that we can always change our mind? And that this decision is subject to review and changes?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that was something that he can agree with. He can agree to them revising a decision in the future, because that's something that they're always going to have to do. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he kissed Gabby's forehead as he held her close (while also stroking her back as a way to calm her down); after which, he went ahead and spoke to the woman he loves. "Baby, of course I can promise you that. We can always change our mind, because we've done it in the past; I mean, we did just move back here from Los Angeles to Hawaii again." Gabby laughed, agreeing with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Okay, I know that." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, before smiling as he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "Now, you go first."
Taking a breath, Gabby sighed as she cuddled up to her loving husband. "Okay, I am not saying that this is going to happen; but I am also thinking about how things were in the past, so please don't overreact and get all worried." Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him that, starting to figure out what she was going to talk to him about; she wanted to mention what happened the last time they lived here with the boys, with the press here in Hawaii (which caused them to leave in the first place). "You want to talk the media?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that was exactly what she was talking about; because that was something she knew Matt was always going to worry about. "I know that you're always going to be worried about that baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, because that was the truth; and it will always be the truth, because he's worried about his family on a daily basis. "Baby, I will always be worried about my family too; so, we can both put that to the side." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before taking a breath. "Listen, I know that we have security at the big house; but I am just worried about my recovery in a couple months."
Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware of what she was talking about; she was talking about how she was going to recover from this pregnancy, after she gives birth to Bella. And that was something that he was going to make sure that goes as well as possible, because he doesn't want her to be all stressed out. "I want to make sure that it goes well, and that you get as much rest as possible; especially after how horrible things went last time around, because I do not want a repeat of last time." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, because she most certainly knew that was the case, which was something that she was going to tell him, as soon as she kisses his heart. Turning her head, Gabby smirked as she pressed her lips to his chest. "I know that baby, and you don't need to remind me of that; because I know that you plan on keeping us safe, and that you will always do your best to do just that." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that most definitely is the case. Running his hand up and down her back shortly afterwards, Matt smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what he wants to do; he wants to relax, as he holds Gabby on his chest right now.
"God, I love it when you kiss my heart." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I know that; and I also know that you love it when I kiss you here." Slipping up Matt's chest, Gabby smirked as she went ahead to start kissing his neck; and let's just say that was exactly what Matt wanted, since it was really sexy. Grabbing the back of his beautiful wife's head, Matt just smirked due to the fact that this is everything that he wants right now; and he was just going to enjoy this, while not pushing Gabby to go too far. "God, you are so sexy. And I am so glad that this is what you're doing right now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, leaving a couple kisses on his neck; because she knew that was exactly what he wanted right now, for her to tease him. And that was exactly what she did, as she ran her hand down his body. "God, you just love this; don't you?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before turning his head and smiling as he kissed her softly; after which, he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. "God, you are so damn sexy; and I love you more than anything in the entire world, which is why I am so glad that we're alone."
Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, as this was what she wanted to do as well. "Okay, back to the conversation. We need to decide between here or Noela Place, and what this means for our family." Matt took a breath as he heard Gabby say that. "I know already. I want to spend weekends at the big house; because that way, I'm away from the office and they won't bug me. I think that's something I need." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know what you mean, and I am sure that's going to be something that you do. Then again, you're still going to work; because you're the CEO, the very sexy CEO…and my sexy CEO husband." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, you love calling me your sexy CEO husband; don't you baby?" Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, as that most definitely was the truth; she loves calling Matt her sexy CEO husband, because that's what he is. He's her sexy CEO husband, and the love of her life. "And you're also the love of my life." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as he felt the same way; he has always considered her the love of his life.
"As are you Gabby, you're the love of my life; and you'll always be the love of my life." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, glad that was the case. "Good, because that's the only way that you're going to get a second daughter from me." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, before running his hand up and down her back (because that's what she wants him to do right now); he wants to run his hand up and down her back, as they just hold each other close today. "And that's something that leads me to like being at the penthouse, because it means that you can come here more often; when I'm on maternity leave, you can come upstairs and be with me and the kids over lunch or something." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before starting to daydream about that.
