Hi Readers: And welcome to another day of chapters. And boy did a lot happen yesterday. I introduced a new family, some more employees, got them to interact with the Casey family; oh, and I started to cover Matt and Gabby's anniversary. And that's what I'm going to continue covering today, amongst other things as I may cover the other couples as well. But for now, here we go with this nice chapter related to Matt and Gabby celebrating two years of marriage. And it just so happens to start the two hundred series.

Chapter Two Hundred and One
The Caseys Celebrate Three Years
Part Two: Three Red Roses

When he first set it up on the plate this morning, it all looked perfect; the breakfast that he just made for his beautiful wife, all set up on her plate. And of course, something that he started to do for his beautiful wife last year. If you forgot, Matt gave Gabby something special on their anniversary; and yes, it was flowers. But it wasn't a bouquet of flowers, but a certain number of flowers. As you know, last year was their second wedding anniversary; and on said anniversary, their last one before becoming parents to Matteo and Noah…Matt gave his beautiful wife two red roses, to celebrate two years of marriage. But today isn't their second anniversary, but their third. And that's why today, Gabby's going to get an extra rose compared to last year; just as soon as Matt makes his wife into their room again, with their drinks. And that was due to the fact that he wasn't able to carry everything at once, as there was too much to carry. I mean, two plates, two drinks; and then add on two roses, in water that you don't want to spill. Now that's too much.

So unfortunately, Matt had to make a couple trips downstairs, which Gabby was okay with (just as long as it was only a couple). After all, she did want to spend some time with her husband; more specifically, time where they are just taking it easy in bed. And that, well that's exactly what they're going to do today; they're going to take it easy in bed and hold each other close in bed…just like they both want to do. After all, this is their last anniversary before things get crazy around here. The truth is, Matt and Gabby aren't even sure whether they're going to be able to be alone on their fourth wedding anniversary, at least at night, because they were going to be able to be alone during the day. And that was due to a recent change that Matt and Gabby have started, as of today. And just what change might that be? Well, that would be that Matteo and Noah are actually somewhere other than Camila's place (maybe); and that was actually why Gabby was currently on the phone, because Gabby wanted to make sure that something happened with the boys.

But unfortunately, it didn't. "Mom, I told you that I didn't want you to change their schedule; I wanted you to bring them to daycare today, so that they can start making friends. They're almost 8 months old, and they need to start making friends with other kids." Camila sighed as she heard her daughter say that, well aware that was the case. "I'm sorry, I forgot. I thought that this week was when they go on Tuesday and Thursday." Gabby sighed as she heard her mother say that, as that was never the case; the boys always go to daycare on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. They never go to daycare on Tuesday and Thursday, as those are the days where she works from home all the time. "You know what, it's okay; they're going to be with you this weekend anyways, and you can just take care of them. I really shouldn't even be thinking about this now, I just wanted to check on them." Camila agreed with her daughter as she said that, as that most definitely was the truth. "I promise Gabby, just take a breath, and relax sweetheart. Things are okay."

Gabby agreed with her mother as she said that, well aware of the fact that things are okay at the moment. "Plus, it just means that the boys are safe; and you don't need to worry about getting a call from the daycare, because they would call you instead of me. And that's what you need today, as it's your anniversary; and you need to relax on your anniversary Gabby, so please relax and just take it easy. Plus, Matt said that this would be a good idea." And as if on cue, Gabby saw Matt come into their room with breakfast. "Oh, did he now?" Looking at his wife as she said that, Matt got nervous; because Gabby was using the tone of voice that was sending him a certain message, the message that he was in trouble. For what? He didn't know, yet. But he was certain that he was going to find out, just as soon as Gabby got off the phone (with whoever she was currently on the phone with). "Well, he's here; and I plan on having a conversation with him. Now, have a good weekend mom; and please send the boys my love, as they are there with you."

Camila agreed with her daughter. "And don't be too mad at Matt, he did it because he loves you; and because he wants to do what's best for the boys, and so that they aren't all confused when they aren't picked up by you guys tonight. Please sweetheart, just take a breath and relax for the sake of Bella and Emily." Gabby agreed with her mother as she said that, proceeding to take a breath for t he sake of their twin daughters. "Thanks for reminding me mom. Now, have a good day with the boys, who are currently at home with you, and thanks for letting me know (unlike my husband). Bye mom." Hanging up her phone, Gabby turned her head to specifically look at her husband. "So, our sons aren't at daycare today? And you forgot to tell me that, why?" Matt sighed as he looked at Gabby as she said that, well aware of the fact that she was not happy at the moment; but he just hopes that he can explain, and it'll all be okay after he explains. But first, maybe he can get her eating breakfast. "Okay first, I am going to give you breakfast so that you can eat."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case; she then watched as he proceeded to make his way over to her with the tray of food that he prepared for her, well aware that he made sure that everything was perfect for her. After all, that's what he does each and every morning; and she loves the fact that he does it, because it makes her feel special. And that's what Matt wants after all, for Gabby to feel special; because she's the love of his life, and his one true love. And that was something that he remembered, as he prepared to speak to her while he sat down next to her; just as soon as he set the tray of food that he prepared for her and presented her with the roses that he made sure to get for her (and kept in water all night to keep them fresh). And that's exactly what he did, as he set the tray down; after which, he sat down next to Gabby and smiled at her. Looking at the woman he loves, Matt smiled when he saw her face; the face that she made after she saw the roses that he got for her, that she loves.

And he just hopes that him grabbing the roses and putting them in her hands makes her feel better; so that's exactly what he did, he moved the roses for the tray, before going to give them to his beautiful wife. "Here's three roses, for three years." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him. After which, Matt moved his hand to her neck and smiled as he leaned in and kissed her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that this really is exactly what they both wanted right now; and that was due to the fact that this is what they need right now, they need to hold each other close and just relax together. "So, I can only assume that you're mad at me?" Gabby took a breath. "I guess I just got a bit worried, after I found out that my sons weren't in daycare today." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before going to grab her hand; after which, he stroked her hand and smiled at her. "Here, how about you slip over, and we can start eating as we talk about this?" Gabby agreed with Matt.

Wrapping his arm around Gabby shortly after climbing into bed with the woman he loves, Matt smiled as he tugged the covers up on top of the both of them; after which, he turned his head and smiled as he looked into her eyes. At the same time, Matt smirked as he leaned in and proceeded to kiss her softly. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too, and I just think that we need to talk about this." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case; and that was due to the fact that he didn't tell Gabby that the boys weren't going to daycare today, which is something that worried her. "Can I just explain why I didn't send the boys to daycare?" Gabby agreed with Matt. "I wanted them with their family, and I wanted them to just already be there; because then they aren't scared when we don't pick them up, because we both know that would happen. So far, we've been the only ones to pick them up; and it would just confuse them." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling.

At the same time, she cuddled up to him and just smiled due to the fact that she understood what he was talking about; and that was due to the fact that it really makes sense, and why he did it. "And I also wanted you to know that they were safe the entire day, and that they would be picked up; so that we aren't disturbed, and we can just concentrate on each other. Because that's what we both want. We want to have a romantic day with each other, as we celebrate three years of marriage." Gabby took a breath as she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the case. "I think it's actually related to the memories that we had three years ago, and how we were surprised; and how we didn't have control of our wedding night, and what happened that night." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. And of course, she still thinks about that. "I know you still think about that, and I'm sorry that I didn't think about that." Kissing Gabby's forehead, Matt held Gabby close as he went to grab their breakfast and brought it close.

After all, there is something that Matt and Gabby both need to do right now; they need to eat, and they need to make sure that Gabby eats something on their anniversary. And not just because she needs to eat for their daughters, but because she has to be hungry. "You hungry?" Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she most definitely was hungry. "For these eggs, some bacon, and some toast? Or, I most definitely am hungry; and that's why I am so glad that I'm back, so that you can eat." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. He then went to look at the breakfast that he made for her, because it was something that he made for her. "I love what you make for me when you make breakfast, and I am so glad that this is what we're going to have. But now, I am ready to eat; because I am starting to get hungry. So, can you bring it close to me; and we can eat together? Because that's what I want, while we watch some TV." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before looking at her. "Slip over some more?"

Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her to slip over, before going to do just that so that they can both be in the bed, rather than have Matt sitting on the edge of the bed and be at risk of falling out while they're eating together. Just looking at his girl, Matt turned his head and then kissed her forehead softly; after which, Matt went to go grab the TV remote and went to give it to Gabby. "Here, how about we find something we can watch?" Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that, before turning to look at her husband. "Uhm, would you be okay if we can…" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "We can watch the Hallmark Channel if you want to." Gabby was a bit taken aback as she heard Matt say that, as she didn't think that he would say that. "Really?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before going to turn the TV onto the Hallmark Channel for her; after all, he already knew that was the channel that they were going to be watching TV. "I think it's nice that we can watch some movies, and I want to get into the Christmas spirit."

Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, as he was glad that was the case; after which, he turned to look at his beautiful wife and kissed her forehead while smiling at her. "Our first Christmas with kids." Looking up at Matt, Gabby smirked as that most definitely was the case; after which, Matt bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with Gabby, Matt smirked due to the fact that this is everything that they both want to do right now. They want to take things nice and slow with each other, and they want to make sure that they're both extremely happy right now; after all, what's better than the two of them taking things nice and slow with each other. "God, 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 am so glad that we have the day together." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smirking due to the fact that she felt the same way. "Me too, because we should always spend our anniversary alone." Matt agreed with Gabby before taking a breath.

"You know, there's something that we really need to figure out; and I hate to bring this up on our anniversary but…." Looking up at Matt, Gabby could see that something was bothering her husband. "Hey, what's wrong baby?" Taking a breath, Matt looked at the woman he loves; after which, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. "How are we going to deal with business travel in the future? I mean, we're going to have four kids; and what are we going to do with that?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that it was a conversation that they need to have. "What do you say we finish breakfast? Then we can talk about that?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that was something that she could get behind. "I like that idea, and I am so glad that we're going to talk about it." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before kissing her forehead softly; after which, they both went back to their breakfast which they are going to eat with each other right now. And then, they're going to talk as they cuddle with each other.

She was still in the midst of smelling the beautiful roses that Matt brought upstairs for her, and she really means it when they are gorgeous; Matt really went over the top, and he is just the best husband and the entire world. And for Matt to get fresh roses, well that's even better; and she is so proud to call Matt her husband, and that she's going to be able to call him her husband for the rest of her life. But he's not just her husband, he's also the father of her children; and that's another title that she loves, which was the entire reason that Gabby was wearing this lingerie that she was wearing right now. The lingerie that she was in the midst of adjusting, to make sure that she was comfortable in bed; but she wasn't going to do it alone now that Matt was back in their room. "Gabby?" Hearing Matt walk into their room (and call out for her), Gabby then went to tell him just where she was right now. "In the bathroom baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before coming to join her in the washroom; and let's just say that he loves the sight.

The sight of his wife, standing at the counter in some sexy maternity lingerie (which he was enjoying). "God, now if this isn't a nice sight?" Looking up at the man of her dreams, Gabby smirked due to the fact that she is so in love with Matt; and that was why she was currently in the midst of wearing this lingerie right now, because she wanted to tease the man she loves. "What do you think?" Matt smiled as he heard Gabby ask him what he thinks of the lingerie, because she already knows that he likes it; and he will always love the sight of her in lingerie, which was the entire reason why he was in the midst of walking over to her right now. That way, he could wrap his arms around her; and hold her close to him. "God, I am so glad that we have the next four days alone." Gabby was a bit confused as she heard Matt say that. "Four days?" Matt agreed. "Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. The boys are going to daycare on Monday, and we are going to pick them up after work." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him.

"But that's not what we're going to concentrate on, because I am much more interested in concentrating on this right now; this gorgeous lingerie, which I love more than anything in the entire world." Smirking as she heard Matt say that, Gabby watched as he moved his hands to her hips; after which, he bent down and kissed her shoulder softly. "Oh baby." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby moan for him, because that was something that he always wants to hear; his gorgeous wife moaning for him, as they held each other close. "You happy that this is what we're in the midst of doing right now?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her that, smirking due to the fact that this really is everything that she wants; after which, he proceeded to move his hands to the lingerie that she was wearing for him right now. After which, he proceeded to run his hands all over her body. "God, I am such a lucky man; and I really don't deserve you pleasing me like this." Gabby shook her head, before smiling at her husband in the mirror. "Help me?"

Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him to help her, which he most definitely wants to do. "I will always help you put this on, and I will also help you take it off each and every time that you wear it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know that, and I'm glad that you're ready to do that; because you most certainly are going to be taking it off tonight, because I think I might want to have some attention from my husband." Matt agreed with Gabby as he started to do up her lingerie, before going ahead with making sure that it was just tight enough for her; but that didn't mean that he was tugging it too tight, as he didn't want to hurt her. Rather, he wanted to make sure that she was comfortable in the lingerie, and not hurting right now. And boy is Gabby glad that was the case, as it just reassured her that Matt was the right man for her to love. "God, I am such a lucky woman." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at her. "No, I'm a lucky man who loves you more than anything." Gabby agreed with Matt.

Meanwhile, Matt continued to do up the lingerie that she was wearing for him this morning; hoping to get it done up as quick as possible, he just made sure that he concentrated on the task at hand (rather than Gabby in the mirror). "I swear, you are really distracting me at times when you look this sexy in this lingerie." Gabby snickered as she felt Matt tug the strings halfway up her back, which means that he's halfway done his task. "Oh, don't lie and say that you don't like this lingerie; and aren't excited to run your hands all over my body today." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, as he most definitely was ready to run his hands all over her. "What do you think Gabby? I'm always excited to hold you in my arms, and making you feel so damn loved." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as he loves her more than anything in the entire world; after all, what's better than the feeling of her man holding her in his arms (which is exactly what Matt plans on doing for his wife today). "I know that's what you're going to do today baby."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as he most definitely does plan on holding her in his arms all day; and that's due to the fact that it's something that they both want to do. "You know, we also have a lot of recordings to catch up on; especially one from last week that's still sitting there, and that we both know that you want to watch." Gabby smiled as Matt reminded her of that recording that she really wants to watch, the recording that they made of the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade from New York City. "I know, we still need to watch it." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, with the hopes that he can convince her to watch the parade first; rather than going straight into the Christmas movies. "What do you think of us watching that first?" Gabby smiled as Matt asked her whether they can watch the parade first (indirectly), before turning around to face him; after which, she leaned back against the counter and motioned for Matt to get close to her. "Come here handsome." Matt agreed with Gabby, smirking at his beautiful wife.

After which, he proceeded to put his hands on her stomach as they both stood close to one another; at the same time, Gabby wrapped her arms around his neck (holding Matt as close as she possibly can in the process). Meanwhile, Matt leaned down and went ahead to kiss the woman he loves softly. Taking things nice and slow with his gorgeous wife, Matt smirked due to the fact that this really is everything that they both want right now; they want to take things nice and slow with each other, as they show each other that they love each other more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as he proceeded to kiss her once again; moving his hand to her neck, Matt smirked as he continued to take things nice and slow with his beautiful wife this morning…who just so happens to be the woman of his dreams, and the love of his life. "I love you so much, and I am so glad that you're feeling better." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before moving to hug him. "All thanks to you."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before moving her hands to her arms. "Come out with me, I have one of your first gifts out on the bed." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unaware of what he was talking about. "What are you talking about baby?" Matt smiled as he put his hand out for her. "Trust me?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he asked her whether she trusts him, because she most certainly does; and she'll always trust him, for the rest of her life. "Always baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before getting close to her once again and leaning in to kiss her once again. After which, he proceeded to lead her out of the washroom so that he could give her one of the gifts that he got for her; something that he's been waiting to show her for over a year now.
