Chapter One Hundred and Ninety-Three
Quality Time at the Beach, Part Two

Making his way into the ocean with Gabby shortly after tying him up at their chair and asking Will and Natalie to watch him; Matt smirked as he got ready to hold the woman he loves in his arms, as they spend some time in the ocean with each other. And that most definitely is something that both husband and wife are interested in doing with each other, which is the entire reason why Matt asked Will and Natalie to watch Andy in the first place; so that he can spend some quality, intimate time with the woman he loves. And not just spend some quality time with each other, but also hold her in his arms; as he takes things nice and slow with her, as they shared a kiss with each other. Heck, maybe he can even take her bra off, and feel her entire chest against his own chest; because that most definitely is something that he wants to feel, his wife's chest against his…and the truth was, that was something that Gabby wanted as well; simply because her husband is a real hunk, and his body is really muscular…which just makes the way he holds her even better.

But right now, Matt doesn't need to dream about him holding Gabby against his chest (while she isn't wearing a bra); rather, he wants to just do it. He wants to hold Gabby against his chest, while she doesn't wear a bra; he doesn't want to have the opportunity to wear a bra for long, and Gabby feels the same way. And that was the entire reason why Gabby was actually in the midst of facing away from Matt as he joined her in the water, so that he can move his hands right to her back and take off her bra; and let's just say that's going to be something that Matt's going to do, just like Gabby wants him to do. Making his way over to Gabby, Matt smirked due to the fact that she just looks so damn beautiful; and he's glad that he's going to get a chance to hold her in his arms, and he's also going to get a chance to share a nice kiss with each other. Walking right up behind Gabby as he was in the water once again, Matt smirked as he tugged her body back against his chest, while also putting his hands on her stomach and rubbing it with his hands. "Hi beautiful."

Smiling as she heard Matt say that, Gabby proceeded to turn around and look up at the man she loves, who just so happens to also be the father of her children, and the love of her life. "Hey you." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before getting nice and close to her; after which, he wrapped his arms around her and just smirked as he leaned in so that he could kiss her softly. After which, he moved his hand to the side of her face and took things nice and slow with her. "So, is Andy taken care of?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him whether Andy was taken care of, because he was and that was all thanks to Will and Natalie, who were currently relaxing on the beach with him. "Will and Natalie actually just got to the beach, and they're going to watch Andy while we're in the ocean with each other." Turning her head to look past Matt, Gabby saw Will and Natalie sitting on the beach with each other; after which, she waived to Natalie to thank her for watching Andy for them. At the same time, Natalie waved back to Gabby. "Thanks Nat!"

Natalie laughed as she heard Gabby thank her, before yelling back. "No problem Gabby, enjoy yourself!" Turning around to look at his friend, Matt smiled due to the fact that this really is something that he wants to do right now; he wants to hold the woman he loves in his arms, and he wants to make sure that they just relax and hold each other close. And thanks to Will and Natalie, they aren't going to have to concentrate on making sure that Andy stays nearby; rather, they're going to be able to concentrate on each other. They're going to be able to make sure that they both just take it easy and relax in each other's arms; while they also grieve for the loss of their child, which is something that Matt and Gabby are still doing today. In fact, Matt is thinking about talking to her out here on the beach; because it's somewhere they are away from their family, and where they can breathe and just take it easy. And preferably, he would rather make his way further into the ocean with the woman he loves. "Listen, Andy is being taken care of right now." Gabby agreed.

"And I was thinking that we could get further into the ocean together, and maybe now we can just concentrate on each other right now; because that's what we both know that we want to do right now, we want to concentrate on each other and make sure that we talk away from the kids." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before getting close to him; after which, Matt wrapped his arms around Gabby and just smiled due to the fact that was exactly what Gabby wanted to do right now. She wanted to be held by the man she loves, and she wants to relax with him in the ocean. "So, you ready to get into the ocean a bit further? Or are we just going to stay here?" Smirking, Matt proceeded to pick Gabby up in his arms; after which, he wrapped her arms around his waist (while Gabby wrapped her arms around his neck). After which, Matt moved his hands to Gabby's back and smiled as they got ready to take things nice and slow with the most beautiful woman in the entire world (in his opinion). And that's why he's glad that they're together.

They're going to be in the ocean with each other, and they're just going to get a chance to hold each other close, which is everything that they both want to do right now. They want to hold each other close, and they want to make sure that they relax while kiss each other slowly. And that will also include Matt running his hands up and down her back, and just kisses him softly; after which, he leaned back and just smirked at the woman he loves. Meanwhile, Gabby proceeded to put her hands on Matt's face and just smiled at the man she loves. Stroking his cheeks with her thumbs, Gabby smiled as she leaned in and proceeded to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. "God, I am so glad that this is what we're doing." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before moving to wrap her arms around his neck; after which, she kissed him once again and smiled as he moved his hands to her back. "Listen, we both know what we want to do. So, how about you swim further into the ocean so that you can do what we both want you to do."

Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, well aware of just what she was talking about, which was that she wanted him to take off her bra, so that she can press her body against his chest. But that was also due to the fact that he wanted to feel it, he wanted to feel the woman he loves press her body against him; and god, that's going to be so damn sexy. Wrapping his arms around Gabby's back, Matt smiled as he proceeded to start making his way further into the ocean; at the same time, Gabby wrapped her arms around Matt's neck while they held each other close in the ocean. And that's something that they both want to do right now, they want to hold each other close; and they want to just have fun with each other, which is exactly what they're in the midst of doing right now. They're having fun with each other, and they're going to keep having fun with each other; simply because they love each other more than anything in the entire world, and they want to spend the rest of their lives showing each other how much they love each other.

Moving her hand to the back of Matt's head as soon as they were both quite deep in the water, Gabby smiled as she stared down into his gorgeous eyes; the eyes which she loves looking into each and every day, simple because this is exactly what they're both in the midst of doing. Gabby loves spending time with Matt, and that doesn't need to be in bed; rather, it can be anywhere. It can be here in the ocean, or it can be at a hotel somewhere; all that matters to her, is that they get a chance to be with each other. And that they get a chance to spend some quality time alone with each other, and maybe for the entire week; and that was why she actually was in the midst of thinking about something, even though she was in the ocean with her husband. And that was actually something that Matt already knew, because she was just cuddling up to him; rather than the two of them sharing a kiss in the ocean, which was fine with Matt. If she didn't want to talk right now, he can do something else; and that would be kiss her neck, as they hold each other.

Moaning as she felt Matt kiss her neck, Gabby just took a moment to enjoy this feeling that came with the two of them getting sexy with each other in bed. "God, you are so sexy when you do that." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, continuing to kiss her neck; after which, he started to suck on her neck and just enjoyed this time that they're spending with each other. "God, this is perfect…and there's nothing better than the feeling of you doing this for me." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before hearing Gabby moan for him again; at the same time, Gabby moved her hand to his neck and just smiled as she turned his head. Running her hand down his chest, Gabby smiled as she turned his head and then leaned in to kiss him softly. After which, she wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled due to the fact that this really is exactly what they both want to do; and it was making her feel much better, simply because she was being held by the man she loves. And he was also pleasing her more than anything. "God, now this is sexy."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I am so glad that you're enjoying this; because I know that I am enjoying this." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before moving her hands to his chest; after which, she leaned back and looked at the man she loves. After which, she moved her hands to his face and stared into his eyes. Kissing him again, Gabby smiled as she looked into his eyes. "I swear, I am so glad that this is what we're doing right now." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, while wrapping his arms around her waist; at the same time, Gabby moved her hands back to his chest and just looked at him. After which, they both proceeded to lean their foreheads against one another's foreheads. "Gabby, I need to ask you how you're really doing; I want you to know that you can talk to me, whenever you want." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know, and I'm glad that this is what we're doing. And I promise, I'm talking to you…and being outside is really nice." Matt agreed.

"Good, because that's exactly what I want to hear. I want to make sure that you know that you can always make sure that you can talk to me, and that you can tell me if you need me to just concentrate on you for a while." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before wrapping her arms around his neck once again; after which, Matt ran his hands up and down her back due to the fact that this is something that they are both extremely happy right now. "I promise that we're going to talk if I ever need to talk. And I think we both know that's the truth because we have spoken to each other." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as she ran his hands up her back; at the same time, he started to take things nice and slow with her. God, the way that they're holding each other close right now is everything that they want to do. "So, are we really going to be eating with our family today?" Matt looked at Gabby as she asked him that, because they most definitely will be spending some time with their families over supper. "Yeah, I want that."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before moving her hands to his face. "Maybe we can even put the boys to bed tonight, and we can be the ones who give them their baths?" Gabby laughed, before smiling at the man she loves. "I actually really like that idea; the two of us taking care of Matteo and Noah, before putting them in bed. Then we can go to our room afterwards and take it easy." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before watching as she wrapped her arms around his neck once again; and she didn't just wrap them around his neck loosely, but she wrapped them around his neck tightly. And now that was nice, especially since it meant that she got a chance to push her body against his. "Oh, now that's a nice feeling." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, before leaning in and going ahead with kissing the man she loves once again; and god, now that was something she enjoyed.

They decided to just take it easy and relax with each other (while also watching Andy for Matt and Gabby); but that was not the only thing that Will and Natalie were doing, as Natalie just had to sneak something into their bag. Something that he should've checked for, but he didn't do it. Why he didn't check their bags for it, he has no clue; but at least now they have something to do, as they take a chance to relax with each other. And just what might they be doing? Well, that would be looking on Amazon for something. "I swear, at first I was not happy that you brought the iPad to the beach; but now, I guess I am okay with it." Natalie agreed with Will as he said that, before turning her head and looking up at her husband; at the same time, Will wrapped his arm around her and put his hand on her stomach. After which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss the woman he loves; just taking things slow with Will, Natalie smiled due to the fact that this is exactly what she wants to do with Will right now. "I have to say that I'm glad that we're relaxing together."

Natalie laughed as she heard Will say that. "I think that we both know why that's the case, because it means that I get to relax for the baby." Will agreed with Natalie as he put his hand on her fifteen-week pregnant stomach, before stroking it with his thumb; at the same time, Natalie leaned back against his chest some more and just cuddled up to him. At the same time, Will turned his head and kissed the side of her head. "Comfortable?" Natalie agreed with Will as he asked her whether she was comfortable, as she is so glad that this is what they're in the midst of doing right now; that they're holding each other close, and just taking it easy with ach other. After all, this is exactly what they both want. They want to hold each other close, and they want to make sure that they take it easy with each other. And that was due to the fact that they are going to make sure that they do that for the rest of the day. "So, I have to say; I am quite happy that we got today off, because I wasn't sure whether this was going to happen." Will agreed with Natalie.

"It's a blessing, and a curse in my opinion." Sitting up, Natalie was confused as she turned her head and looked at the man she loves; after all, she had no idea what he was talking about. "What are you talking about Will?" Will sighed as he looked at Natalie, before opening his arms so that he can get her to lay down in his arms again; after all, he wants to relax and just take it easy. Then, they would be able to talk to each other about what was on his mind right now; specifically, the way that they're going to be spending their first Christmas as husband and wife. And they were going to have that conversation, as Natalie wrapped her arms around his torso and cuddled up to the man of her dreams, while also laying her head down on his chest. At the same time, Will moved his hand to her back and then bent down to kiss the top of her head. "So, what do we need to talk about?" Will sighed as Natalie asked him that.

"We need to talk about how we're going to be celebrating Christmas, or where we're going to be celebrating it this year." Natalie was a bit confused as she heard Will say that, before turning her head and looking up at him. "Care to tell me what you mean?" Will agreed before running his hand up and down her back. "I'm talking about how we have shift on Christmas. We're at the hospital on Christmas Day." Natalie then realized that and took a breath due to the fact that was something that was true. But still, she did want to check in her calendar, which is why she decided to open the calendar app on her iPad, and then went ahead to go check on the calendar. Going to hit Christmas day, Natalie sighed as she saw that Will was telling her the truth; that they had shift on Christmas day, and that they're going to have to figure things out. "What are we going to tell your brother when it comes to the fact that we're not going to be able to celebrate Christmas with them this year?" Will sighed as he looked at Natalie before going to kiss her forehead softly.

"I think that we need to call them, and we can just tell them together; and that way, they'll know that they really do need to plan something to do it alone, if they aren't already doing that. I'm not sure what Jay is even thinking right now, because of how they're in a bad place with Alex's dad Hank." Natalie sighed as Will said that, before looking up at her husband, which is when she thought about something, whether they should even ask whether they can actually get the day off. "Do you think we should call the hospital first? See whether we can actually get the day off, before we have to call your brother and tell them that they're going to be alone on Christmas; I mean, unless they decided to invite her dad after all?" Will smiled as Natalie asked her that, as that was something that he was interested in; that was, until he thought about something. "Actually, how about you check your e-mail first. For some reason, I feel like we already took Christmas off. Natalie agreed with Will as he said that, before going to open her e-mail so that she can check it.

She just finished searching through her inbox for the e-mail that she thought she got from the hospital HR department, which was who they booked their vacations with; and that was when they found the e-mail, the e-mail that they got with regards to the vacation that they booked over Christmas. Natalie then proceeded to read it out loud. "Will and Natalie, your joint request for vacation over Christmas has been approved. Your vacation will begin December 21st and will end on January 4th. We hope that you enjoy that time off, and your last Christmas before you welcome your son into the world. Sincerely, Natasha Goode." Natasha Goode being the head of human resources at the hospital. "Well, it looks like we don't have to worry about Christmas; and we can be with Jay and Alex that day." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before running his finger up and down her arm; meanwhile, Natalie decided to put her phone in her bag. Bending down, Will smirked as he kissed her shoulder and continued to hold her close. "Gives us time alone."

Natalie laughed as she felt Will wrap his arm around her and putting his hand on her stomach once again; at the same time, she put her hand on top of his and just held him close to her. "Or it can give us a chance to invite some people over. Last time I checked, we haven't hung out much with any other people; other than out family of course." Will agreed with Natalie. "And our friends from Chicago. I swear, we really need to get to know some of the people from around here; maybe even make some friends from the company." That's when Will and Natalie both heard some staff from the company walk over to them. "Funny enough, we were just thinking the same thing." Turning her head, Natalie looked at the couple that were standing in front of them; and the truth was, she didn't recognize them. "Sorry, but who are you again?" The gentleman laughed about. "Mr. Will and Ms. Natalie Halstead, right?" Will agreed with the gentleman, getting worried. "Sorry, but how in the world do you know our names?"

The lady standing next to him shook her head, before turning her head to speak at the man she loves; who just so happens to be her husband of four months, and the father of their six-and-a-half month old son Matteo. "Sorry Mr. and Ms. Halstead, seems like my stupid husband here doesn't realize that you're starting to get scared. My name is Jane Villanueva-Solano, and this is my husband Rafael Solano…" Turning her head, Jane smiled as she turned to look at their son. "And this little guy here is Matteo, our six-and-a-half-month-old son." Will agreed with the woman as she said that, still unsure as to how they know them. "Sorry, still not understanding how we know you." Rafael then looked at Will, before shaking his head. "Will, Solano." Will then realized that. "Oh, shit. Now I recognize you, sorry about that Rafael." Natalie then looked up at Will. "Boss?" Will agreed. "Rafael here is a Vice-President at Casey and the Senior Business Advisor-at-Large to all of the divisions. He makes sure that money is spent wisely, and efficiently."

Natalie then realized that, agreeing with Will before getting up; after which, she made her way over to Jane. "I'm so sorry that I didn't recognize you Jane." Will then got up as well, before going to shake Rafael's hand. "Sorry about that Mr. Solano." Rafael laughed as he heard Will say that. "Please, we're on the beach…let's leave the formalities at the office." Turning his head, Rafael then saw that Matt and Gabby were in the ocean. "Are Mr. and Ms. Casey here at the office?" Will agreed. "Yes, and they seem to be having fun. Their service dog is here with us." Rafael agreed with Will as he said that, before smiling at him; at the same time, Jane turned to look at her husband. "Listen, how about you take Matteo into the ocean and go have fun with him? I'll be right in after I tan for a bit." Rafael agreed with Jane as she told him that, before moving to get close to her; after which, he wrapped his arm around her and kissed her softly. "Sounds good." Jane agreed with Rafael as he said that, before watching him grab Matteo from her arms. "Water time buddy."

Smiling as she watched her loving husband grab their son, Jane just waited a minute before she watched away as she wanted to make sure that her guys were both safe in the ocean before she got set up; and that most definitely was exactly what Rafael and Matteo were, the moment they walked away. After which, Jane turned to look at Natalie. "Do you guys mind if we sit with you guys? I would love to sit with someone as I tan." Natalie agreed with Jane as she said that. "Please, I would love to get to know somebody more for when we want to have play dates…" Natalie said, while moving her hands to her stomach and rubbing it. "Are you going to gossip? Because I would love to get a run in down the ocean." Natalie agreed with Will as he said that. "Maybe stay close, just in case Andy gets a bit occupied." Will agreed with Natalie as she said that, before going to grab her hand; after which, he leaned in and kissed her softly. "Love you." Will then proceeded to walk away so that he could take a run. Meanwhile, Natalie turned to look at Jane.

"You want to sit down? Because I would love to get some advice on how it's like with a baby when they're newborn." Jane just looked at Natalie as she said that. "I thought that you had a brother-in-law who has kids?" Natalie agreed. "They have twins though, and we're not having twins." Jane agreed with Natalie as she said that, before moving to sit down on the beach chair that was right next to Natalie so that they could talk; at the same time, she turned her head and smiled as she watched her husband (and their son) make their way into the ocean so that they can spend some quality time with each other. And that was something that she was glad that they were in the midst of doing, as Rafael works a lot at times; and she most certainly does wish that she could get more time at home with him, but this is okay…especially since he's the best father in the entire world to Matteo, and she knows he's also going to be a great father to their future children; after all, she knows that he's going to want to go for a daughter at some point.
