Hi Readers: What did you guys think of the second chapter of Matt and Gabby's anniversary? Well, I hope you liked it; and the cliff-hanger that I left you guys on. Now, I know what you're wondering; what surprise is Matt ready to give her? Well, find out now.

Chapter Two Hundred and Two
The First ELLA Products (and Photoshoot)

He just finished bringing his and Gabby's plates downstairs, where they belong frankly; after all, they are done eating and they have no use being up here anymore when they're just going to be taking it easy. Well, not just taking it easy; and there's a reason why they're not JUST going to be taking it easy, a reason that Matt is really going to like. He just hopes that she isn't mad at him at the same time, because there is a reason why Gabby could also be a little mad at him; related to the fact that he's been hiding something that she's been wanting to see since they started the company, and since she started sketching for ELLA Apparel. And just what might those things be? Well, that would be the first products that she can start sending out…and the first products that they can start displaying on the first floor of the boutique that they have at the headquarters, which they most certainly will do; along with some other prototypes which Gabby is going to have to create. I mean, hopefully she can create them. Because that's something that he wants to do for her. He wants to get them out as soon as he can, and make sure that they are done properly; and as soon as possible, to get some income.

But of course, that isn't his main reason to do it (even though it is a good one); the main reason that he wants to do it, is that he wants Gabby to see the results of all the hard work (and stress) that's been coming with starting to create the line. And since they are starting to get products, she's going to be able to do that simply by visiting the boutique downstairs. But first, Matt's going to show her the new products that they can now sell, here in their room. And just what might that be? Well, it would be the first product for the ELLA Apparel Sports Line that she's designed with the assistance of Mario Jacobs, who has done a great job to tell you the truth, and Matt is just so glad that everything has gone so smoothly. It's something that he's been worried about since they started the company, but it's no longer (as much as) a worry as they now have the first products. But before they can officially start selling them, Matt needs to get something else; and that would be the approval of the President and Senior Deputy CEO of the company, the head of ELLA Apparel. And he truly believes that's something that he'll already get, because the product looks really nice; and he really likes it.

But one thing that Matt didn't like, was the look that was currently on Gabby's face; as she seems to be annoyed that he took so long, rightfully so. After all, she wants to spend time with him on their anniversary; and as much as she loves the sight of him walking around in those tight boxers of his, she would rather he be in bed with her rather than walking around the house. But now, he's back; and that has to mean something, that he's going to get in bed for the final time again. "I hope that this means that I can finally be guaranteed that I'm going to have my husband in bed for the rest of the day, and that I'm not going to have to be disturbed by him having to get up again." Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, before turning his head to look at Andy (who was currently laying down at the end of their bed); whom they both know that he's going to have to take out eventually, so that he doesn't go in the house…because they both know that's something that Gabby will most definitely not enjoy. "I think we both know that you'd rather I take him out, than have him go in the house." Turning her head to look at Andy, Gabby smiled and agreed with Matt. "Good point."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that he just made a good point. "Plus, I think we both know that you can wait to have me back; because there's something that I just got, that you have been waiting ages to get." Gabby was a bit confused as she heard Matt say that, as she also looked at the box that was currently in his hands. "What's that?" Matt smirked as he went ahead and proceeded to give it to Gabby. "How about you open it when I'm in bed, and holding you close? Because I think that once you see it, you're going to be extremely happy that we finally have it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, ready to trust the man she loves; after all, he is somebody that she can trust explicitly with everything that he promises her. And that's especially the case when it comes to ELLA, as he's just as determined as her to ensure that the company is successful. And not just for his sake, but for her sake; he wants Gabby to be able to say that she's the head of a profitable company, because that's something that he can already see happening. She's going to make money with this business, and he can't wait to be there when she makes her first million dollars.

And he truly believes that will happen, thanks to this product. It's a product that they can make and sell quite easily; and it also means that they can make money faster, and have a good profit margin that can lead to them being able to pay people with good money. But first, Gabby needs to open the box; which is exactly what she just did, so that she can look at the product. Well, just after she takes out of the paper wrapping; because that's what she ended up doing, taking out the paper wrapping. Going to do just that, Gabby smiled as she made sure that she was able to do it; before throwing it into Matt's lap. "Hey, what do you think I am? A garbage can?" Turning to face her husband, Gabby smirked as she prepared to make a joke. "You smell like one at times." Matt was about to say something in return, before just giving up as he knew that was the case. "Okay, good point." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that, before getting close to him; after which, she put her hand on his cheek and kissed him softly. "I love you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before watching as she went to keep opening the box. Doing just that, Gabby smiled as she took all of the paper out of the box.

After which, she went to look at what she thought was her anniversary gift; and let's just say that Gabby is not that impressed, because it was a product that she was making for ELLA Apparel. Turning her head as she went to grab the sports bracelet, Gabby looked at her husband. "Seriously? You bought me a pink sports bracelet, from another company; when we're making some, by ELLA Sports?" Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, before going to grab the bracelet from her. "Well, looks like I need to talk to the packaging department to make sure that they do it the right way." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, before realizing something. "Wait, is this…" Flipping the sports/sweat bracelet inside out, Matt then went to show her the logo that was on the bracelet, which was the logo that ELLA has recently gotten approved to use for it's Sports line, and that made Gabby smile. So much so, that she went ahead and read what it said on the sports bracelet that she created; yes, she created it by herself.

"ELLA Sports, ELLA Deportes."

Smiling as he looked at Gabby, Matt got close to her and then kissed her softly. "This is the first one. I made sure that they sent it specifically to us, because I wanted you to get the first one as the CEO. Stella got the second one, and Mario got the male version of it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him. "This is beautiful baby. I am so glad that we finally have a product." Matt agreed with Gabby. "Two actually, this is just the first one. I ended up adding to the order." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that. "You added something to my order?" Matt agreed. "I asked them to use this logo and put it on a towel; I ordered around 200 of them." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that. "A towel, that I didn't approve the design of? Baby…I am not going to sell something without approving it." Matt smiled. "It's not for sale, it's something that we're using in house?" Gabby was just confused as she heard Matt say that. "Okay, what are you talking about?" Matt smiled. "All of the staff have a towel to use in the gym and pool."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him. "I'm glad that we decided to open the pool to the staff, because I'm sure that they need it in the middle of the day; especially those who are working outside, because it means that they can relax." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "And they can work outside too, I put tables out there for them to use; and they can even collaborate out there, because I'm hoping that we can get some products out between all of the departments. I don't know whether you're up for this, but maybe your designers can collaborate with Casey Fire and Police; and they can create products together, and just more." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, loving that idea. "I like that idea, especially since a lot of the couples that work at the company work for one division, and then the girl works in the ELLA division; so, I love that idea…and I am so glad that you decided to do that baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before wrapping his arm around her and cuddling up to her. "You like the gift though?"

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before smirking. "Just making sure that you put it past Stella first, because I don't want to make her mad." Matt smirked. "Who do you think helped with the placement of the logo, and everything? She knows you better than everybody, other than me; and I thought that she of all people would know where you should put it, even though I was thinking the same places to tell you the truth." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before smirking at her husband. "You know, if you want to use the ELLA Sports for the fitness center coaches logo too; you can do that, and I can help with that." Matt shook his head. "I already have two coaches, and they are okay using the same logos that we have on the towels." Gabby agreed with Matt, cuddling up to him until she heard her e-mail ding. "I thought you said no e-mails today?" Gabby took a breath. "Today is the day of the shoot for ELLA. We have our S/S 2020 Catalogue going out in January, and they are doing the photoshoots this weekend." Matt agreed with Gabby.

"Right, we have all the prototypes, and we just signed the contracts this week to start the production of the first few swimwear designs that Luke, Ryan, and Mario made; funny enough, I actually told them that they are modelling with their wives." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, glad that was the case. "I like that idea." Cuddling up to Matt some more, Gabby smiled as she put her hand on his chest; at the same time, Matt turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before going to grab his hand. At the same time, Matt decided to go grab something for her. "And that's where your next surprise comes in." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that. "What do you mean?" Moving to unlock his iPad, Matt smiled as he went to go find the live stream of the photoshoot event that was currently happening at the pool on top of the headquarters.

Casey Headquarters Rooftop Pool – He was asked to help his wife with the photoshoot, even though he isn't an ELLA Model; but hey, if he can be paid to spend some sexy time with the woman he loves…then Mario Jacobs isn't going to says no, especially not when his wife looks so damn sexy in that bikini that she's currently wearing; and that was just something that he loves the sight of, her wearing that gorgeous bikini. And he's even happier that he's going to get a chance to run his hands all over her, as he is going to be part of the couple part of the photoshoot. But that's not the only think that he likes, because he can see Bella staring at him; after all, he's shirtless right now. And he's going to be doing his own modelling, for the male line of swim trunks that ELLA has created. And while he was a bit apprehensive of doing it at first, he's okay with it now; because of what it means for his and Bella's marriage. It means that they get intimate time together, which they weren't together. And it's just spiced up their marriage, in a way that he didn't expect.

And god, does Mario hope that she continues to wear that sexy bikini that she was currently wearing right now, as he most definitely does want to take it off later; when they're at home, and getting ready to try for a baby again. Because that's something that they are still determined to do, but just not right now; because they're at work, and that means that they need to concentrate on being professional. Especially since their boss is watching. "Okay everybody, I just want to let you know that you are being monitored by myself; and I have just gotten an alert that Mr. and Ms. Casey have started to watch the live feed, so say hi and happy anniversary to Mr. and Ms. Casey." All of the staff agreed with their boss, Ms. Stella Kidd-Severide as she told him that; after which, they all turned to look at the camera to say hi to their other boss. "Hi Mr. and Ms. Casey, happy anniversary!" All of the models then put on their biggest smiles, as they wanted to be good for their bosses; whom they can only assume are going to be monitoring the shoot for a while.

And that's something that they're okay with, due to the fact that it's something that they're expected to be okay with; and they in fact signed the agreement to be recorded when they signed their employment contract. But right now, they are being recorded anyways; as they are currently on the rooftop pool area of the headquarters, which has just been opened to the staff to use. Previously, it was just reserved for the executives (and their families) who live here at the office; but since they've all recently gotten a house elsewhere on the island, they've been spending less time at this pool. And that means that staff can use it to collaborate, and to just work out at times. And let's just say that Mario and Bella both truly enjoy that, as it gives them chances to be together in the middle of the day; in fact, they've been getting together at lunch every day and coming to take a swim together. But that's all they do, nothing more. While it's very tempting for Mario to try and get his wife pregnant in the pool, they know that they can't do it here at the office.

That's something that's reserved for their pool at home, which they most definitely do enjoy spending time in; and that's due to the fact that they always get really sexy with each other, like they're going to be for a second right now as soon as Mario walks up to Bella. After all, they do have a quick chance to stand together while she isn't shooting; and they also get a chance to practice doing some poses, as Mario has already been promised that he's going to be the only man who poses with this gorgeous wife of his during the photoshoot. She's a married woman, and he's here; so that means that he can be here to help during the photoshoot and continue to be the only man who puts his hands on her body. And god does her body look good, but not as good as it was last night; when she was naked under him, as they tried to have a baby once again. And that's exactly what Mario was currently in the midst of thinking about as he made his way over to the woman he loves, and wrapped his arm around her waist; while placing his hand on her butt.

Feeling Mario put his hand on her butt, Bella smiled as she put her hand on his toned chest and turned her head to look up at him; at the same time, Mario put his hand on hers and looked down at his gorgeous wife. Bending down, Mario smirked as he proceeded to kiss her softly; after which, he started to take things nice and slow with the woman he craves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Bella agreed with Mario as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too Mario, but you can relax." That's when Stella came to walk over towards the front. "Okay everybody, I know that you guys are all high on hormones due to the fact that most of you are couples; and I have to say, some of the guys are looking really nice in their swimwear." And that's when some of the problems started, when Kelly Severide came upstairs to watch Stella at work. "What's that Ms. Severide?" Turning around after hearing Kelly's voice, Stella took a breath as that was not what she wanted to hear. "Oh, calm down Kelly and relax. Stop being jealous."

Rafael (Solano) soon agreed with his fellow executive, as he stood close to his wife this morning. "Exactly what Ms. Severide said Mr. Severide. We're all married here, I have a child with my wife…" Rafael then turned his head, before looking at the Jacobs. "…and my friends Mario and Bella over there are trying to start a family of their own." Mario just looked at Rafael as he said that, as that's not something that he thought that the company should know; but that didn't mean that they didn't already know, which was something that Bella went ahead and reminded her husband. "Mario, take a breath and relax. Remember, I already told Ms. Severide that while I learned the news that I was going to be the head of the lingerie line next year." Stella agreed with the model this morning, before smiling at her. "Yes, and I completely understand." After which, Stella turned to face her husband. "And nobody should need to remind my husband that he has no reason to be jealous, when we have two children together!" Kelly gulped and agreed with his wife.

That's when Matt (back at home) hit the button on his iPad to speak. "Kelly, this is probably your cue to just shut up and leave, before you get in shit with your wife; because then, you might not get a chance to try for a daughter anytime soon." And let's just say that Kelly was a bit shocked when he heard his friend say that, as he didn't see him up here. "Matt?" Matt agreed with Kelly as he said that, before explaining. "We're watching the live feed, so shut up and go downstairs to work, if you're here get some work done and don't distract your wife; I would rather not have some complaints of heatstroke during my wife's first photoshoot!" Stella agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that's a possibility. "And that's why I need to get back to work, so get out of here Kelly." Kelly agreed with Stella as he said that. "Happy anniversary Matt and Gabby." Kelly then walked up to his wife, and smiled as he proceeded to wrap his arm around her; kissing her softly, Kelly smirked before walking away. "See you later." Stella agreed, making him leave today.

At the same time, she turned around to look at the models that she assembled. "Now, I first want to thank you gentlemen Mario and Rafael to come join us; because I know that you have other things to do, but we needed male models." Rafael laughed as he heard Stella say that, well aware that was the case. "Not that I would want to have someone other than myself touching my wife, as she wears something as sexy as this." Turning to look at Rafael, Jane just rubbed his back to try and get him to relax, which is something that he really needs to do, rather than be jealous right now. "Can you please not be jealous right now Raf?" Rafael agreed with his wife as she said that, before turning his head and kissing her forehead softly; after which, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and went ahead with intertwining their fingers. And let's just say that Jane loved the feeling, as it was exactly what she wanted; to be held close by her husband, as they work together for the first time in a while. "Okay, now let's just get this started. Who's first?"

Looking at Bella, Mario smirked. "How about Jane and Rafael go first? They have a kid, and we both know that daycare costs are expensive." Turning her head, Stella looked at the couple. "You didn't use the daycare that we have here at the office?" Rafael looked at Ms. Severide as she asked him that, unaware of a daycare that they have here. "What daycare?" Stella sighed as she looked at the couple. "They have a daycare in the gym. 5th Floor, where you go in. They have a daycare there too as part of your employee benefits."

Note to Readers: I have decided to add that, as I wanted to have daycare at work; I hope that you understand and are okay with that, as it makes things easier. I may end up setting up the kids there too, not sure yet. Thanks again for reading and continue to enjoy.

That's when Gabby yelled out. "I forgot we set that up! We can send the kids there to play while we're working!" Matt laughed, agreeing with his wife as she said that, well aware that she was excited for this. "Okay, calm down Gabby and take a breath. You need to relax right now, and just take it easy. Let's just enjoy this, and we're going to make sure that they do a good job." Everybody agreed with the boss as he said that, because they are going to do a good job for him; that's one thing that they all knew. Stella then proceeded to look at the women as she wanted to get started. "Okay, let's get this started. Let's get Jane and Rafael on the stage so we can take pictures. Mario and Bella, go ahead and take a swim; we can do you playing in the pool after we do them, and then you can be wet for the first part of your shoots." Both of the couples agreed with Stella as she said that, following their orders; with the Solanos going to get on the stage so that they can take pictures, while Mario and Bella made their way into the pool for fun time.
