Chapter One Hundred and Forty-One
The Second and Fourth
Casey Headquarters – 2nd Floor: ELLA Boutique
Why she woke up at 7:30 this morning? She had no clue. Why couldn't she fall back asleep? Beats her. All she knew, was that she wasn't going to sit in bed, while her husband keeps sleeping in bed; rather, she wanted to get moving and do something that she needed to do someday. Heck, she's surprised that she didn't already do this. And just what might that be? Well, getting things in order; including the layout of the story that her husband is letting her have, here at the headquarters. And while it is all built out, they are still in a place where they can't even move in. The reason? Gabby has yet to decide what floors are going to contain which types of clothing. So many questions to answer. Where are they going to put the men's clothing? What about the women's clothing? Oh, and then the kids' and other clothing that they're going to design. And they have three floors to do that. Yes, three floors. The second through seventh floors (and part of the first floor) are dedicated to the ELLA Boutique (and a manufacturing facility of the fifth through seventh floors), so that meant that they had everything here at the office; and that was everything that she needed, as it was home.
And that was actually where her husband thought that she should be right now, as he walked into the boutique through the first-floor entrance. And incredibly, Gabby was actually able to hear her husband yell out for her. "Gabby?" Hearing Matt's voice this morning, Gabby smiled as she went to yell out for him. "Second floor." Agreeing with his wife as she said that, Matt started to make his way up to the second floor of her boutique; the boutique which he wished she told him that she went to, especially when she left him naked in bed. And that most definitely was not something that he was happy about, because he never is. I mean, what husband likes the idea of waking up alone in bed after having sex with his wife? God, it was so good; and he most definitely was surprised when Gabby woke up in the middle of the night and gave him some attention. So much so, that he didn't even expect it. But now, he was more than ready to just see what the heck his wife was going right now. He wanted to know what in the world she was doing awake at 8:30. Well, only time will tell; especially after he asks her what she's doing up this early, now that he was on the same floor as her.
Seeing Gabby move some of the things around in the boutique, Matt took a breath. "Well, I see that someone does want to make sure that they make me worry." Turning her head to look at Matt, Gabby smiled as she looked at the man she loves as he walked over to her with Andy. Looking down at Andy, Gabby smiled. "Hey bud, you just go out to the washroom?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that most definitely was the truth; the last thing that Matt wants to do, is have Andy ruin the boutique before it even opens. And that's why Matt actually thinks that Gabby is down here right now because she wants to get this boutique up and running as soon as possible; but the truth was, this isn't what they need to prioritize. Rather, she needs to prioritize her health, and the health of their unborn baby girl. Just making his way over to her this morning, Matt smiled due to the fact that Gabby really looked quite sexy this morning; and there's a real reason why Matt is specifically saying sexy, which was the fact that she was currently wearing short shorts and a loose blouse (which clearly showed off her baby bump). "Mind if I let him off his leach? He's tugging on my arm?" Gabby agreed.
"Of course." Matt then bent down, before proceeding to grab his leach; after which, he unclipped it from his collar so that Andy could make his way over to Gabby. Doing just that, Andy smiled as he was happy to see Gabby there. He then walked up to her and just got ready to say hi to her, while also doing it carefully; because that was what his master ordered him to do. "Andy, stay down and take it easy. Down boy." Gabby then put her hand out, making sure that Andy stayed down; that way, Matt would relax and not worry about Andy hurting their baby girl. Because that was really why Matt just told Andy not to jump up, because he didn't want him to hit Gabby in the stomach, which is something that Matt most definitely knows that he can and would do if he wasn't told to stay down. "You do realize that he's a gentle dog, and wouldn't hurt me right?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him that question, because he was awake of that fact. "I know, but that doesn't mean that I don't get a chance to worry; just like how I was when you weren't in bed this morning, and you let me wake up alone." That's when Matt heard Stella yell out. "In here Matt!" Matt was confused.
"Stella's here?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether Stella was in here, because that was the truth; she then watched as he made his way over to her and wrapped his arm around her. After which, she wrapped her arm around him too. Smiling at the man she loves, Gabby put her hand on his back and then leaned up to kiss him softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smiled as he moved his hand to her neck and just took things nice and slow with her. "Good, now I've gotten exactly what I needed right now." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that. "Let me guess, you wanted a kiss from me this morning?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him that, as that most definitely was exactly what he wanted this morning. "I always want a kiss from you in the morning." After which, he got really close to Gabby, before bending down so that he can whisper to her; after all, he does now know that Stella is in here, and that means that he can't exactly speak to her the way he'd rather speak to her. "Well, I'd rather have you under me in bed to tell you the truth." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case.
"Oh, now if that isn't the truth." Matt smiled as he heard the woman he love say that, before putting his hand on her neck again; after which, he stroked her cheek and just smiled due to the fact that this really was exactly what he wanted right now. He wanted to be close to the woman he loves, and he wanted to make sure that they have a moment with each other. That was when Gabby wrapped her arm around his back. Putting his hand on her arm, Matt smiled as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. "What'd you have for breakfast?" Gabby smiled. "Don't worry, I had a bagel and a protein shake." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, glad that was the case; after which, he put his hand on her stomach and smiled at her. "Good, because I want to make sure that this baby girl is okay." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that he was worried about their baby girl. "Okay, good. How long have you been down here?" Gabby smiled. "What time is it?" Matt then went to look at his watch. "8:30" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "I've been up for an hour and a half and came down at 7:30." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling at his girl.
After which, he wrapped his arms around her and just smiled due to the fact that he was really happy to have her back in his arms; at the same time, Gabby wrapped her arms around his back and just held the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. Kissing her forehead, Matt smiled due to the fact that this is really something that he loves to do; he loves to kiss her forehead, and he just loves her more than anything in the entire world. After which, he looked down at the woman he loves; bending down, Matt smirked as he proceeded to kiss her softly. Just taking things nice and slow with the woman he's proud to call his wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was really happy; that was, until he heard some crying come into the boutique. "Please don't tell me that you asked your mom to bring the boys down so you can see them quickly? We have the weekend alone, remember?" That's when Matt heard Kelly walk out of the elevator with the stroller. "Oh no, it's me. And I can only assume that there's a reason why you're in here?" Gabby laughed as she looked at Kelly, well aware of the reason why he's in here. "Back left corner." Kelly agreed with his wife's friend.
But first, he made his way over to Matt. "Where are your kids?" Matt laughed. "We have the weekend to ourselves, which is why I'm a bit surprised that my wife is down here rather than upstairs in bed with me…." He then got close to Gabby and proceeded to whisper to him. "More specifically, naked under the me." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case. "Of course." Gabby then put her hand on Matt's chest, smiling at the man she loves; after which, Matt wrapped his arm around his back and then kissed the top of her head. "How are you doing though? You sleep well?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that, because she did. "Oh, I most definitely did; especially since I was sleeping on your chest, shocked that didn't wake you up. Getting up off your chest." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling at the woman he loves; after which, he proceeded to intertwine their fingers. "So, how long do you think that you're going to be down here?" Gabby smiled. "Why?"
Matt smiled. "I was thinking of using the gym for a bit, because I thought you would sleep in." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case; that was, until she realized something. "Wait, did you have…." Matt sighed as he put his hand on the side of Gabby's head, before getting close to her; after which, he kissed her forehead softly. "Just a bad flashback." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure of what he means. "But not PTSD?" Matt agreed. "Our vow renewal." Gabby then realized what he was talking about, agreeing with the man she loves as he said that; and that was due to the fact that it really was a shit show at the time. "Well, I'm glad that you told me. Now, do you need me to come upstairs and be with you? Or are you okay?" Matt smiled as he looked at Gabby, before turning his head. "I think that I can stay down here, because I think your partner is about to be stolen." Turning his head to look at Matt as he said that, Kelly laughed. "Oh yeah, because I need Stella to come help with the boys."
Picking Stephen up in her arms, Stella smiled as she held her son close to her chest; after which, Stephen laid his head down on her breast and that made her smile. Turning her head, Stella smiled as she kissed his forehead softly. "You're going to make your daddy jealous bud." Kelly laughed as he heard Stella say that, well aware of what she was talking about. "Tell me about it, because I most definitely would love to lay my head down there." Stella smiled as he heard her loving husband say that, before getting close to him. After which, she looked at Gabby. "Gabby, do you mind if…" Gabby shook her head, smiling at her best friend. "Hey, of course you can go be with your husband and sons; I just needed some help, because I want to do this with you." Stella agreed with Gabby as she said that, before walking over to her. After which, she proceeded to walk over to her best friend so that she could hug her. Doing just that, Gabby smiled as she hugged Stella; after which, she turned to look at Stephen. Smiling, she looked at her "nephew" this morning.
After which, she kissed his forehead softly. "Hey buddy, you keep being good for your mommy and daddy; and stop making me jealous by already sleeping through the night." Matt was shocked as he heard Gabby say that, turning his head to look at Kelly. "You're kidding, he isn't already sleeping through the night." Kelly smirked, agreeing with Matt as he asked him that, because that most certainly was the case. "Fuck you!" Stella just looked at Matt as he said that. "Gabby, permission to treat Matt as your husband; and not my CEO for now?" Gabby laughed, agreeing with Stella. "Go ahead girl." Stella then proceeded to make her way over to Matt, that way she can slap him; and let's just say that was exactly what she did. Tugging him away from Gabby, Stella proceeded to slap his cheek. "I swear to god, if my son's first word is swearing word; I am taking that expense card that you gave us on a shopping spree, and you're going to pay for it. Got it mister?" Matt gulped, agreeing with Stella as she said that; after all, he doesn't want to make her mad when he wants sex.
Yes, he would put the sex her wants from Gabby at risk by making Stella mad; because he knows that Gabby would most definitely stand by her best friend and punish him on her behalf. Even if that means that she doesn't get pleasure, from the man she loves. "Okay, well I promise that I will stop that." Stella agreed with Matt as he said that, before turning to look at Kelly. "Let's get out of here so that we can take care of the boys, meanwhile my best friend is going to take it easy. Not sure whether she's going to continue working down here, or if she's going to go upstairs; but that doesn't matter to me. All that matters to me is that I get to spend time with my family." Stella then smiled at Gabby, before grabbing her hand. "I'm glad that we got some time together." Gabby agreed with Stella as she said that, glad that was the case too. "Me too. Now, you can always call my mom if you want to spend time with my kids; and Kyle and Stephen can play with them, but we have a couple days without them." Stella agreed with Gabby.
She then proceeded to walk away, before making her way over to her husband; that way, they can make their way upstairs and just spend some time as a family. At the same time, Gabby turned to look at Matt and smiled at him; she then got close to him and smiled as they wrapped their arms around each other. Putting his hand on her arm, Matt smiled as he stroked her arm. "How are you feeling right now?" Gabby smiled as she looked at Matt. "I'm feeling good, and I'm glad you're okay that I came down here for a bit." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before moving his hand to her neck; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was really happy right now. He was happy because he had Gabby in his arms, and that he was taking things nice and slow with the most beautiful woman in the entire world. "Do you want to give me a quick tour of the boutique? You can give me a layout?" Gabby agreed. "You want to give them time?"
Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that was the exact reason why he wanted to take a break. "We can make our way up to the fourth floor, then we can take the elevator upstairs." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that. "To which floor." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that, before stepping close to him; after which, she put her hands on his muscular chest. Putting his hands on her hips, Matt smiled as he looked down at his beautiful wife and looked down at his gorgeous wife. "Let's go up to the twenty-ninth."
Casey Headquarters – 4th Floor: ELLA Kids Boutique
"And this is the floor that I plan on using for the ELLA Kids line that we're going to be making." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, while holding his brilliant wife's hand. God, the way that this place already looks is incredible; and Matt is just so proud of everything that his beautiful wife has already done, and he wants to make sure that Gabby knows that. That she knows that he's proud of her, and that's why he actually gave her a fourth floor, which is definitely something that he's going to share with her, but sooner than he expected. And that was due to the fact that Gabby just turned around to look at him, after she spoke to him; and after she spoke to him, he didn't respond. So, she decided to yell a bit. "Matt!" Snapping out of his thoughts, Matt smiled as he looked at his beautiful wife. "Oh, sorry." Gabby just looked at Matt as he said that, before making her way over to him; after which, Matt smiled as his beautiful wife. And that was due to the fact that he was really proud of her, because she was really good right now.
"What happened there baby?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby asked him that, before wrapping his arms around her as she put her hands on his chest; after which, he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that this really is everything that he wants to do with her right now; but first, he needs to answer her question. "Hey, where'd your head go? You haven't really spoken as I gave you a tour." Matt smiled as Gabby asked him that, before moving his hands to her butt; after which, he looked at his beautiful wife. "Sorry, I was just thinking about how truly brilliant my wife is." Gabby smiled as Matt said that, before getting close to him; after which, she wrapped her arms around him nice and tight. At the same time, Matt leaned in and proceeded to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case. After which, she heard Andy.
Barking at Gabby, Andy just smiled as he wanted attention; at the same time, Gabby turned her head and smiled as she looked down at her loving husband's service dog. "Yes, I love you too Andy; because you give Matt a lot of help." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before proceeding to press his lips to her forehead; and let's just say that really made Gabby smile, as it always does. Looking up at the man of her dreams again, Gabby smiled as she leaned up and then proceeded to kiss him softly. Just taking things nice and slow with the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that he truly is the man of her dreams; and she's so glad that they're getting some time alone with each other this weekend, which is something that they're going to have to do once a month. "I want to do this once a month until we have Bella." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that because he feels the same way. "Even when we have Bella, we can still do it; but we just do it with Bella instead, and we send the boys to family." Gabby agreed with Matt.
After all, she does love that idea; after which, she got close to her husband once again. Wrapping her arms around him, Gabby smiled as she cuddled up to him and laid her head down on his chest; at the same time, Matt bent down and kissed the top of her head. "God, I am so glad that you just did that." Gabby agreed with Matt and just smiled at the woman he loves, the love of his life Gabriela Casey; after which, he reached out so that he could grab her hand. Grabbing it, Gabby smiled as she proceeded to intertwine their fingers so that they could look around the kids' boutique. "I swear, this is really adorable; and I am so glad that this is what I am going to be able to make a kids' boutique." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "You know, I get that this is your place. But I think it'd be cool if you made it look like a kids' room." Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she loved that idea. "I love that idea baby. Thanks for giving it to me." Matt smiled. "Maybe the alphabet somewhere with kids names?" Gabby smiled, agreeing with Matt.
"I already know the names that I'm going to use for the letter A, B, C, D, E, G, K, M, N, R, and S." Turning to look at Gabby, Matt smiled. "Care to share those names?" Gabby smiled. "Andrew, Bella, Camila, Elizabeth, Gabriela, Kelly, Matthew, Noah, Ramon, and Stella." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, as that was exactly what he thought she was going to use for the letters. "Well, if I couldn't predict those names." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case; after which, he wrapped his arm around her lower back before proceeding to kiss the top of her head once again. After which, he grabbed her hand once again. He then continued to walk through the floor, really impressed. "I swear, this is going to be a nice boutique for ELLA." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that. "The first of many I think. I mean, I'm not sure what we're going to do; I may try and expand." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Hey, take a breath and just relax. We can take it one step at a time. Let's just get the production started."
Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that, before turning to look at the man she loves. "I know that this is going to be a long process, but I think we need to just remember that we have to get this started some more." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case; after which, he wrapped his arm around her and put his hand on her butt. "I promise that we're going to get that done, and we're going to make sure that we figure it all out. But I think first, we need to just take care of something else." Moving his hand to Gabby's stomach, Matt smiled as he stroked it with his thumb; and that was all that Gabby needed to feel to know what Matt was talking about, as that was exactly what she was thinking about too. She was thinking about how they need to concentrate on her health, and the health of their child. Moving his hand to Gabby's neck shortly afterwards, Matt smiled as he stepped close to her; at the same time, Gabby put her hand on his arm and smiled as she looked up into his eyes right now.
Bending down, Matt smirked as he started to take things nice and slow with the most beautiful woman in the entire world. "I love you so much." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too, and I really think that this is what we both need. We need to take some time together, and we need to be with each other for a while." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as he felt the same way; and the truth was, it was exactly what he wanted too. He wanted to be with the woman he loves, and he wants to make sure that they just relax; moving to grab her hand once again, Matt smiled as he intertwined their fingers. "I promise that you're going to be able to work on this floor a bunch more after you give birth, but we just need to make sure you relax for a while." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. Yet at the same time, Gabby also knew that they need to relax and just take it easy. "I am so glad that we're taking a few days, because I need this time with you." Gabby then got concerned.
"Hey, is everything okay baby?" Matt took a breath as Gabby asked him that, before wrapping his arm around her; after which, he put his hand on her butt as they both held each other close. "I've just missed you. I mean if that makes any sense at all." Gabby looked at Matt as he asked her that because it does make sense. "Hey, of course it makes sense. And I think that this is everything that we need to do right now. We need to take some time with each other, and we just need to cuddle up to each other for a while; oh, and I need to get you in some lingerie." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case. "I'm just glad that you're still sweaty, because I would love to either take a shower; or heck, even a bath with you." Matt was actually a bit taken aback when he heard Gabby tell him that she wants to take a bath, because she doesn't want to take a bath all that often. "Really? You rarely want to take a bath anymore." Gabby smiled as Matt asked her that. "I know, but it'll be to relax; and we'll just be taking it easy for now."
Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at the woman he loves. "And I think we both know that we're going to be all over each other this weekend." Gabby agreed with Matt, especially since that's exactly what she wants. Getting close to him, Gabby smiled as she put her hand on his chest and just looked at the man she loves more than anything in the world; after which, he wrapped his arm around her and smiled as he bent down so that he could kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with his beautiful wife, Matt just smirked due to the fact that this really is everything that they both want to do right now. They want to just hold each other, and they want to spend quality time with each other, which is everything to them, especially when they need this time before they have their daughter. "You ready to get upstairs? Then we can just be with each other for a while?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that, before smiling as she proceeded to grab her hand; after which, she led him back towards the elevator that would take them upstairs.
"Right to the bedroom? Or do you want us to stop on the main floor, so that we can let Andy out?" Matt shook his head. "Let's just go up to bed, and we can take a shower." Gabby smirked. "Or we can make sure that you get a bit sweatier, before we take a shower." Walking into the elevator, Matt smirked as he knew exactly what she was talking about; after which, Gabby pushed the button to their room (while also flashing her key that she has around her wrist). Turning around to look at Matt afterwards, Gabby got close to him and smiled; after which, Matt moved his hand to her neck and just smirked as he proceeded to move his hand to her neck so that they can take things nice and slow with each other. After all, this is everything that they both want to go right now. They want to hold each other close, and they want to take things nice and slow with each other; and that was exactly what he was in the midst of doing with his beautiful wife right now, he was taking things nice and slow with her ahead of them getting upstairs where he'll please her.
