Chapter Two Hundred and Ten
The Caseys Celebrate Three Years, Part Six

They decided to wait until they were on the beach with each other for them to talk to about the question that Gabby asked him, as that was something that Matt felt like he needed; he needed to take a moment to think about what he was going to say to Gabby, and just what the answer to the question she asked him: "Matt, when you say his name; does it ever make you think about our late friend Andy?" Because that was something that Matt really needed to take a moment to think about, his answer to the question. And now, that's exactly what he's ready to answer. He wants to answer the question, as they sat with each other in the sand and held each other close. Because that most certainly was where Matt liked to sit when he talks about hard things, and it was helping him due; especially when it came to the sounds of the waves, which are very helpful. They are so relaxing, and it just calms Matt down so much; and he's really happy over the fact that he and Gabby are here as they get ready to speak about this topic, which is hard for him honestly.

Anything that deals with Andy is always a hard topic, well the other Andy; not Andy the dog, who is currently in the midst of running in and out of the ocean as he chases after a ball. And now, that was fun; and he was seemingly quite happy as he ran after the ball, simply because he was running. And the truth was, Matt was happy as well due to the fact that he was holding Gabby in his arms as he moved his hand to her stomach and stroked it with his thumb. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he looked down at his beautiful wife as he could tell that she was really comfortable; after which, he turned his head and then kissed her forehead softly. Stroking her baby bump, Matt smirked as he looked at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "Comfortable?" Looking up at Matt, Gabby agreed with him and smiled; after all, she was extremely comfortable. "Oh, I am extremely comfortable." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before bending down so that he could kiss her softly; taking things slow with his wife, Matt just smiled at her.

"God, I love you so much; and I am so glad that this is what we're doing right now. That we went outside and are just playing with…" Turning his head, Matt saw that Andy was barking at somebody. "ANDY!" Turning his head, Andy saw that Matt was not happy; after which, Matt pointed to the spot that was right next to him (to get him to come join him). After which, Andy started to make his way back over to Matt so that he wasn't in trouble anymore. After all, that was exactly what he needed to do right now. If he was told to come be with him, then that was something that they needed to do; and he did it right away, as he ran back over to Matt like he told him to do. He then made his way up to Matt before shaking (since he was wet), and that most certainly was not something that Matt and Gabby enjoyed. Sitting up, Gabby looked at the dog; and boy, she wasn't please. "Andy!" Andy then proceeded to get close to Gabby before going to lick her face, which was his way to get back on her good side. "Okay, calm down Andy; it's okay."

Andy agreed with Gabby as she said that, before going to go lay down on the beach next to Matt and Gabby; at the same time, Gabby went ahead and laid back down against Matt's chest (wrapping her arms around his torso at the same time). After which, Matt wrapped his arm around her back and smiled as he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly; and that was exactly what Gabby wanted, especially due to the fact that it was so sweet. It's so intimate, and just so relaxing when he holds her close to her this way; and the truth is, she's really happy over the fact that they are together right now. It's exactly what they both want to do right now, and they just want to hold each other close. "Are you happy that this is what we're doing right now?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before smiling due to the fact that this is exactly what they're supposed to be doing right now. "This is the perfect way for us to celebrate our anniversary." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, smiling at his beautiful wife. "How long are we staying?"

Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, before looking up at the man she loves; after which, she moved her hand to her stomach as she started to feel the girls kicking a bit. And god, she is so glad that this is what she's feeling; and for it to happen on their anniversary, well that's even better. After which, she grabbed his hand and moved his hand to her stomach. Just looking at his wife as she did that, Matt was confused; that was, until he felt the girls start kicking. "Oh, now that's something that I love the feeling of." Looking up at the man she loves, Gabby smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what they both want to do right now. They want to hold each other close, as Matt puts his hand on her stomach; after which, he bent down and proceeded to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves. And let's just say that's exactly what 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 hold each other close, everywhere that they're cuddling up to each other right now.

"God, I love it when you kiss me like that." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before kissing her forehead; after which, he smiled as he looked at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. After all, what's better than the two of them just holding each other close; but what's even better is when they are going to be doing it in bed, which is something that they're more than happy to do. "God, I am so comfortable right now. But not as comfortable as I am when we're in bed with each other." Snickering a bit as he heard Gabby say that, Matt was well aware of what she wanted right now; she wanted to go home, and she wanted him to hold her in bed. But at the same time, they both knew that they also need to do something else; and that would do some romantic stuff on their anniversary. "I think we both know that's not all we need to do, because we actually have some other plans; didn't we agree to do something, when we get home from the beach?" Gabby smiled due to the fact that she remembered that now. "Oh, I love that idea."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before bending down so that he could kiss her softly once again. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what they both want to do right now. They want to hold each other close, and they just want to take it easy with each other; they want to relax, and make sure that they are both holding each other close. And that most certainly does include when they're in bed, or in the bath with each other. And that's most definitely something that they want to do. "Do you need me to help you up?" Gabby laughed, agreeing with the man she loves as to whether she needs some help getting up; and that was due to the fact that she really does need help getting up, and will always need some help getting up. "Listen, how about I move out of your legs? That way, you can get up?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before watching as she went ahead and did just that. After which, Matt proceeded to get up for his beautiful wife as she asked.

Getting up, Matt smiled as he looked down at the woman he loves because she just looks so beautiful; and he is so glad that this is exactly what they're both doing right now, they're headed home so that they can spend some more time with each other. But first, they are going to make sure that they are off the beach, which is something that is quite hard for Gabby to do, now that she's so far along. In fact, she's now twenty-three weeks pregnant with the girls; and that's something that they're both extremely happy about right now, simply because they can't wait to meet the girls. And while it is hard for Gabby at times (when it comes to the fact that she's also carrying their unborn son), she's doing much better; and that's actually something that Matt wants to check on quickly, as he holds Gabby close to him. Stepping close to the woman he loves, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was happy right now; he's always happy when he and Gabby are together, and always will be happy when they're together right now.

Moving his hand to her stomach, Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves; after which, Gabby put her hands on his chest and just smiled as she looked up at the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. After which, Matt wrapped his arms around her and kissed the woman he loves on their anniversary. "Happy anniversary Gabby. I love you, and I am so glad that this is how we are spending our anniversary." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as she felt the same way; after which, she wrapped her arms around him and just held him close to her. Meanwhile, Matt putt his hands on her arms and leaned her forehead against his; after which, he just smiled as they both held each other close…because this is exactly what they both want to do right now. They want to hold each other close, and they want to make sure that they take it easy with each other. And boy is Matt glad that they are in the midst of making their way home, because he loves being alone with Gabby; but Matt wants her to relax and take it easy with her.

And not just because he wants to run his hands all over that lingerie that she's wearing once again, but because it's what Gabby needs to do; she needs to take it easy, as she relaxes in bed with him today. So, that's exactly what they're going to do. But first, Matt and Gabby are going to do something else, which was the entire reason why Matt and Gabby were actually out of the house for a while, and that was due to the fact that he needed to give his team some time to make sure that they can set something up for him and Gabby. More specifically, he needs them to get home so that they can have supper; yes, supper. He decided that they are going to have an early supper, which he just got a text saying that it was done. Yes, it was done because he wasn't the one that cooked their early. Dinner. Rather, he had a private chef cook it for them; and he just believes that Gabby is going to love it, because it's going to be extremely romantic (even though it's only mid-afternoon). But he thought this would be the right time to have a big meal.

And that's due to the fact that it's what Gabby needs. She needs to eat at this time, and she needs to relax as they take it easy with each other; after which, they can have a snack later. And they can just spend the rest of the day in bed, and they can have fun with each other, which is exactly what they both want to do, spend the day with each other in bed. And Matt can't wait to do that, simply due to the fact that he loves Gabby more than anything in the entire world; and he's ready to just spend this quality time with Gabby, and he just feels like Gabby feels the same way. Turning his head, Matt smiled as he proceeded to wrap his arm around her shoulders and cuddled up to her; at the same time, Gabby moved to grab Matt's hand and intertwined their fingers. Kissing the side of her head as they started to make their way home, Matt smiled as he proceeded to whisper into her ear. "I can't wait to celebrate out anniversary at home." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Same here baby." Matt smiled.

"And I can't wait to see what you think about what I'm going to be doing for you when we're home." Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, as she was unaware of what exactly he was talking about. "What are you talking about?" Matt smirked as he heard Gabby ask him what she was talking about, as he was keeping her in suspense. "That's for me to know, and for you to find out."

Making their way back home, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was really happy to be home with Gabby; but what he was even happier about, was the look on her face just as soon as she saw what exactly she was looking at right now. More specifically, how they are going to be enjoying a meal with each other; however, Gabby was also a bit confused as she turned to look at Matt (who was currently in the midst of unclipping Andy's leach). "Go lay down boy and get some water." Barking, Andy agreed with Matt before rushing away so that he can go get a drink of water; at the same time, Matt made his way over to the back door and hung his leach up on the handle. After which, he turned around and looked at the woman he loves; after all, she looks very confused at the moment. I mean, why in the world would there be a meal on the back porch waiting for them? And when did Matt get a chance to cook. "Okay, I am so confused. What exactly is happening here?" Matt laughed a bit as he heard Gabby ask him that, before getting close to her.

After which, he smiled and proceeded to wrap his arms around her; at the same time, Gabby moved her hands to his sides and smiled as she looked up at the man she loves. Meanwhile, Matt moved his hands to her stomach and looked down into her eyes; after which, he moved his finger under her chin and pushed her head up so that he was staring into her eyes. Bending down, Matt smiled as he leaned in and started to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world; and let's just say that Gabby was really happy that they are taking things nice and slow with each other, because this truly is exactly what the couple want to do with each other right now. They want to take things nice and slow with each other, and they want to be happy with each other, which they most certainly are. But now, Gabby needs an answer. "Okay, as much as I love kissing you; I need an answer baby, what's this?" Smiling at Gabby, Matt smirked. "I'm thinking about how tired you are at night." Gabby agreed with Matt.

"And I thought, maybe we can have an early anniversary meal; then we can just relax in bed for the rest of the night, while we have something easy later?" Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, really liking that idea as she got close to him; after which, she wrapped her arms around his back. Wrapping his arms around Gabby too, Matt smirked as he bent down and proceeded to take things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, which is exactly what they both want to do with each other. After which, Matt moved his hands to her sides and then looked down into Gabby's eyes. "I love you Gabby, and I am so glad that we're still married; and that we have this life with each other, and I'm not talking about the life that comes with wealth. I mean the life that we have with each other, because that's the life that I really love Gabby. The life that I have with you, as my wife; because at the end of the day, you're my entire life. And I just wanted to do something to show you that I love you so much."

Getting close to Matt, Gabby agreed with Matt and smiled as she wrapped her arms around him nice and tight; after which, Matt did the same and smiled at the woman he loves. Moving her hands to Matt's back, Gabby smiled as she just held the man she loves and cuddled up to him as she laid her head down his chest; at the same time, Matt wrapped his arms around her and pout his hands on her butt. Kissing her forehead, Matt smiled as he then went ahead and whispered to the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you Gabby." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. After which, she looked up at smiled at the man she loves. Bending down, Matt smirked as he then went ahead and started to take things nice and slow with his gorgeous wife; the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world, and the mother of his children. "I love you too Matt, and I am so glad that this is what we're going to do." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "And afterwards, we can take things easy."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as she felt the same way. That's exactly what she wants to do as well, and she wants to hold her husband close to her; but not when he's wearing these clothes, because she's going to want him to be in boxers. But also, these clothes are actually no longer going to be worn for the rest of the day; as Matt was not going to be wearing this outfit as they have a meal together, which is due to the fact that he plans on getting a little dressed up (to match her dress). And that was something that their chef already knew, a chef that they haven't seen in a while. Walking out, Pascale smiled when he saw his boss for the first time in a while. "Well, if it isn't our lovely anniversary couple?" Turning her head to look at Pascale, Gabby smiled as she then walked away so that she could hug him. "Pascale, how are you?" Smiling, Pascale made his way over to her and then went to hug her. "I'm doing well, and you look beautiful Ms. Casey." Gabby smiled, agreeing with Pascale as she put her hands on her stomach.

At the same time, he turned to look at the couple. "And Happy Anniversary to you both." Matt smiled as he heard Pascale say that, before walking over to him; after which, he proceeded to shake his hand. "Thank you so much Pascale, and I am so glad that you came to help early." Pascale agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware of the reason. "Please, it was my pleasure. Now, I am going to go finish your food in the kitchen; please, take it easy and relax." Matt agreed with Pascale as he said that, before moving his hand to Gabby's back. "Actually Pascale, I am going to go get changed; how about you do me a favor and get my wife some water, and she can sit down for a bit?" Pascale agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling at him. "Of course, I'll be right back with some water Ms. Casey. Some for you as well, Mr. Casey?" Matt agreed with Pascale as he asked him whether wants to have some water as well, as he most definitely does. "Yes please." Pascale agreed, before turning around to walk away and finish getting their food ready.

At the same time, Matt turned to face his wife and got close to her; moving his hands to her arms, Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves. At the same time, Gabby put her hands on his chest and then leaned up to kiss him softly. "Thank you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before moving his hand to her neck. After which, he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. "It's no problem, and this is exactly what I want to do as well; because I love you more than anything in the entire world, and I am so glad that this is what we're doing right now. Now listen, how about you sit down and take it easy? You can relax, while I go get changed." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before going ahead with kissing him again. "Go get comfortable." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, before smiling as he moved his hands to her neck again; after which, he got close to her and then smiled as he started to take things nice and slow with his beautiful wife. "I love you Gabby."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, before moving her hands to his back; after which, she kissed him once again as they took things nice and slow with each other. "I love you too. Now please, go get changed; I want to get a bit of a massage as we wait for supper." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before smiling as he proceeded to walk into their home; that way, he can go get changed ahead of them having supper with each other. After which, Gabby smiled as she made her way over to the couch; that way, she can go relax and just take it easy as she waits for Matt to come back outside. And she most definitely is going to think a bit.

Gabby's POV:
Sitting down on the couch here on the back porch of our home, I couldn't help but just take a minute and breathe; and just think about what my loving husband has done for me, because it truly is romantic. It's exactly what we both want, and I am just so glad that Matt did this (with Pascale's help). God, I haven't seen him in a while; and the truth is, I have missed his cooking. He is such a good chef, and I am so glad that he's back to cook for us on our anniversary; because that most definitely is something that we both want to enjoy. And right now, that's exactly what I plan on doing; especially since Pascale has kids, and he must know what it's like to cook for pregnant women. And it's not like he hasn't cooked for me before while I was pregnant, and I am so glad that this is what's happening. But before he came back, it seemed like I was going to get a bit of company from somebody else; more specifically, Andy. Walking out, Andy was a bit confused as he didn't see Matt. "Hey but, you want to come over here and sit with mama?" Barking, Andy agreed.

After which, he made his way over to me and then went to jump up on the couch; after which, he walked over to me so that he could lay his head down on me. Moving my hand to the top of his head, I smiled as I scratched his head as we both held each other close; at the same time, he just smiled as he cuddled up to each other. After which, I heard Pascale come out with some water for me. "Well, that didn't take time at all." Pascale laughed a bit as he heard me say that, before walking over to me. "Well, I think we both know why that's the case. I don't really want to make my boss mad and let his wife overheat." I agreed with Pascale as he said that, before smiling due to the fact that this is exactly what we both want. "Trust me, everything is okay Pascale; and I will defend you if something happens." Pascale agreed with me as I said that, before going to give me the water. After which, I went to grab it and smiled at Pascale. "Thank you Pascale, for everything that you do for us." Pascale agreed with me, before shaking his head as he looked at me.

"It's no problem Ms. Casey, this is my job; and it's my pleasure to cook for you and Mr. Casey, you're my family too." I agreed with Pascale as he said that. "How's your family doing?" Pascale smiled. "They are all doing good, and we're all ready for Christmas." I agreed with Pascale as he said that, smiling at him. "Of course. Now, I am just going to relax and take it easy. Thanks again for all your help Pascale." Pascale agreed with me as I said that, before walking away so that he can continue making some supper for me and Matt; at the same time, I proceeded to take a sip of my water and just smiled. God, now this is the life; and I am so glad that this is what we're in the midst of doing, a nice meal with the man I love more than anything in the entire world. And not just due to the fact that he's my husband (and the love of my life), but also due to the fact that he always goes over the top when it comes to what he does to let me know that he loves me; and I am just so proud to have the ability to call him my husband, and to be his one and only.
