Chapter Three Hundred and Fourteen
Ryan & Sarah Miller are Expecting
Sarah Miller E-mail:
From: Miller, Sarah
To: Casey, Matthew; Casey, Gabriela
CC: Kidd, Stella; Jacobs, Simon; Miller, Ryan
Subject: COVID-19 Job Waiver
Hi Mr. & Ms. Casey:
I would first like to let you know that I have also included Ms. Kidd, as well as Mr. Jacobs in this e-mail as they will be required to get the same message. But now, time to get to the reason for which I am e-mailing you. The job waiver. First of all, I want to say this. Working for Casey has been a great time, and I promise you that I do not want to leave the company; nor do I plan on leaving the company, as that is not the reason I am requesting a waiver. The waiver is for me to continue getting paid, while I can't model.
And the reason for which I can't model, is due to the fact that I have just learned that I am currently six weeks pregnant with me and my husband's first child. And based on the outlook right now, that would mean that from not until the end of the year (at least) I am going to need to be out of commission when it comes to modelling; after all, me and my husband need to prioritize our child's safety. And based on the fact that you just came out of the hospital, I truly believe that you will understand. Thanks again.
Stay Safe.

Casey Home – To say that the e-mail that Gabby just received brought a big smile to her face was an understatement, as it was exactly what she needed at the moment; a real reason to smile, because that's just what this e-mail allowed her to do. It allowed her to smile, even during this hard time that her family (and the company) now find themselves in. And that's simply due to the fact that some of her employees are expecting their first child. And just like Sarah said, she most certainly does understand the urge to stay safe during the pandemic; to keep your child safe, as well as prioritizing your own health. And that was why Gabby was currently on the phone with Simon Jacobs, the chief photographer for the company. "Yes, so I can only assume that you saw the e-mail?" Simon agreed.
Because of course he saw the e-mail, how could he miss the e-mail when it has such spectacular news for one of his fellow Casey employees. "Ms. Casey, not to be rude; but how could I miss the e-mail? I am thrilled for them, and I am so glad that they are expecting." Gabby agreed with Simon as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Well listen, I know that your job is to set up photoshoots when we need it. But, I am calling to let you know…" Before Gabby could even finish her though, Simon finished it for her. "You want to let me know that I'm to take Sarah Miller off my roster, and to not even consider her for photoshoots during the pandemic." Gabby agreed with Simon, as that was exactly what she was going to tell him as they need to keep Sarah safe right now.
They need to keep her safe, and away from COVID for both her sake; and for the sake of her and Ryan's first child, which is always something that people enjoy. And while she wishes it wasn't happening during COVID (for Sarah's sake), it just meant something else to her; and that would be that she needs to help her in whatever way she can. And right now, she can help her by ensuring that she's safe (hence the call to Simon). "Well, that's exactly what I was going to tell you. Tank you so much for understanding." Simon agreed. "Anyways, I am actually looking for ways we can do photoshoots from the safety of our model's homes. Maybe they can do it through a camera that we send them, and we can take the pictures wirelessly or something from a distance." After hearing that, Gabby smiled.
And after thinking about it for a moment, Gabby truly did like his suggestion. "Wow, I didn't even think of that Simon. Thank you so much for thinking about that idea." Simon agreed with his boss. "Hey, that's my job. I need to think creatively on how to do my job. How to get a photoshoot completed, on time, and within a budget. But you of course, need to make sure that we can get this all set up." Gabby agreed with Simon. "Simon, how about you do me a favor. You do some research on how you can do this, and what cameras and software we would need to be able to do that; and then write me a report that I can consider. Please make sure that it's cost effective though." Simon agreed with his boss, as that most certainly was something that he was going to do.
After all, he knew that they had to save resources during the pandemic. "I promise, I will do this research on my own time." Gabby laughed. "Simon, you will still get a salary. We are going to contact some of our people who have contracts for equipment with us and see whether they can pay more of their contract rather than just the deposit that they have to pay." Going to open a note on her iPad, Gabby proceeded to write that down so that she could make sure that she spoke to Matt about that. 'NOTE: Speak to Matt about reaching out to people we have contracts with, get them to pay more of the money rather than just in installments.' After which, she returned to the conversation she was having with Simon. "Well, that might be a problem." And that concerned her.
After all, problems are not something that she needs right now. "Okay, you can't just say that and expect me to not want to know just what you mean Simon. So, speak up." Simon agreed with his boss as she said that, before going to do just that. "Who knows what type of resources the cities are going to need? I mean, you've seen how bad things are in Italy. Apparently, people can't sleep there with how many ambulances they have running around the streets all the time." Gabby thought about it, and agreed with Simon as she did see that on the news. "Yeah, I saw that on the news." Simon agreed with his boss and laughed. "Listen, I am going to let you think about how we can do it; and you can let me know." Gabby agreed with Simon as he said that. "Get me recommendations please."
Simon agreed with his boss as she said that, well aware that he was going to have to do just that; not just because it was to help make his job easier, but due to the fact that it was an order from his boss. "Of course, Ms. Casey. I will do that for you as soon as I can." Gabby agreed with Simon as he said that, glad that was the case. "Okay. Well listen, I need to write an e-mail to Ryan and Sarah. And you need to get to work on what you need to do. Thanks again Simon, and I can't wait to see what you come up with. Thanks again." Simon agreed with his boss as she told him that, before hanging up the call that he was having with her; after which, Gabby proceeded to grab her iPad once more and hit the reply button on the e-mail that she just got from Sarah to write her back.
From: Casey, Gabriela
To: Miller, Sarah; Miller, Ryan
Subject: RE: COVID-19 Job Waiver
Hi Ryan and Sarah:
First of all, I want to send you my congratulations on behalf of both me and Matt. We are both thrilled for you guys, and we can't wait for you guys to get a chance to experience parenthood. We already love it more than anything, and we already know that you guys are going to love it too. Now, when it comes to the waiver; you're guaranteed a waiver, because I am not going to let you get COVID-19 when you're pregnant. Just work from home, and maybe even help Ryan as his personal assistant; that's how you can get your salary.
Stay safe.

Hitting send on the e-mail that she just wrote to Sarah, Gabby smiled as she was really happy for Ryan and Sarah; they are such an adorable couple, and they really do deserve this more than anybody. Heck, everybody deserves a chance to experience parenthood. But one thing that nobody deserves to experience, is the experience of being scared by your husband as he comes upstairs and speaks to you when you're not paying attention. "I guess you decided to do some work after all?" Feeling her heart jump out of her chest after being startled by Matt, Gabby turned her head and looked at her husband as he stood there after coming out of the washroom. "SHIT! You scared the living bejesus out of me." Matt agreed with Gabby as he made his way over to his side of the bed.
While at the same time, he apologized for doing just that. "Sorry baby." Gabby agreed with Matt as he took a breath, before moving to close her e-mail on her iPad; after which, she closed the case (which just so happens to also have a keyboard that she can use to write e-mails on her iPad. And that was how Matt knew that Gabby did just that, she just wrote some e-mails on her iPad; because whenever she's used her iPad recently, she's always taken her keyboard off and put it to the side. But this time, she kept it on, which means that she just read and wrote some e-mails. "Okay, so you can do work; but I can't do work?" Gabby snickered as she heard Matt say that, well aware that she was being a hypocrite. "Oh, shut up, and just lay down; I'll explain when you're in bed." Matt agreed.
After all, what's more comfortable than cuddle up to the woman you love in bed? But first, Matt still had to do something. And that would be to make his way over to his baby girls so that he could check on them, which is something that he does whenever he's standing; and Gabby most certainly doesn't mind at all, due to the fact that it makes him the best father in the entire world. Plus, she loves to stare at that ass of his (which just looks so much better in those tight boxers that are a real turn on). "God, I love that ass in those boxers." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I most certainly do know that." Smiling as he walked up to the girls, Matt proceeded to check on both of his beautiful daughters this afternoon.
"So, a lot of e-mails?"
Taking a breath, Gabby agreed as there were a couple e-mails. "Oh, just one with some good news." Turning his head, Matt smiled. "Did that company get back to you, and agree to send you the shipment early so that it doesn't get stuck in the COVID shipping mess?" Gabby wasn't even thinking about that and knew that she was going to have to check on that at some point. "Oh god, I didn't even check on that; as that was not the reason why I was reading my e-mails, because I had another e-mail to read." Matt was a bit perplexed as he heard Gabby say that. "Okay, I am going to just ask you this; is it business related, and do we have a waiver to talk about business if it brings something up that we need to talk about?" Gabby sighed, as she knew that he had to ask that question.
And the answer is yes, as it is related to business; but in a good way, because this is good news. "Yes, it's related to business. But no, it's not important enough for us to have a long conversation about business. We're still going to relax, and just take it easy as we hold each other in bed." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as the last thing he wanted to do was make her mad; but still, he does love the last part of what Gabby wants to do. After all, he loves to hold his gorgeous wife in bed. "Then, how about you tell me the thing you need to tell me?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before doing just that.
"Ryan and Sarah Miller are expecting."
"Ryan and Sarah Miller are expecting."
Turning his head as he heard Gabby say that two of their employees, who are still basically newlyweds, are expecting; Matt couldn't help but smile as that was some of the best news that he could hear. I mean, who wouldn't be happy for a couple when they're expecting their first child. "Well, that's great news for them." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that most certainly is the truth. "Maybe great enough news, that it can be celebrated between us with a kiss?" Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, as that most certainly was something that he wanted to give his wife; he wanted to give her a kiss, so that she can be happy as they cuddle up to each other in bed. "I think that can be arranged." Gabby smirked as she heard Matt say that, glad that he was going to give her one.
I mean, not that she would ever expect her husband to not want to give her a kiss, because he's addicted to her; he always wants to kiss her, and she always wants to be kissed by her dreamy husband. And that's exactly what Matt's on his way to do right now, while also climbing into bed with her. "God, you look pretty comfortable there Ms. Casey." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, that's due to the fact that I am very comfortable." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, while continuing to make his way over to his gorgeous wife; whom he's more than ready to hold in his arms, as they share a sweet kiss with each other. "How about you slip over? That way, I can get in bed a bit easier." Gabby agreed with Matt, doing just that.
After all, she wants to make it easy for Matt to get in bed with her. To wrap his strong arms around her and hold her close to him for the rest of her life. Because damn, does she just love the feeling of Matt's strong arms around her more than anything. "God, you look so sexy as you make your way over to me like that." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, clearly able to see that she was turned on as he made his way up to their bed; after which he leaned over her when he was standing right next to her and placed his hand on her neck. "Well, I have to say this. I have a damn sexy wife, and I am so glad that she's back in our bed where she belongs." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as she feels the same way; she feels like she belongs here, as she does belong here.
She belongs in her bed, with her husband where he can hold her close to him day and night. And that's exactly what Matt plans on doing today, as they cuddle up to each other and just hold each other close. "Well, what are you waiting for? Last time I checked, we both want to be in bed with each other." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, while looking at the woman he loves; after which, he proceeded to climb into bed with her so that he can hold her close to him, just like they both want. They both want to be in each other's arms, as they cuddle up to each other in bed; because the truth is, that's where they're both very comfortable. "Come here handsome and get close to me." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, as that's what he wants to do.
Especially due to the fact that she was topless and looking incredibly sexy right now. "I have to admit, this is a real turn on; you being topless in bed." Gabby agreed with her man as he told her that, well aware that was the case; after which, she proceeded to cuddle up to him and just smirked as she slipped her legs in between his. I mean, what's better than the feeling of his wife cuddling up to him in the sexiest way possible? In Matt and Gabby's opinion, nothing is better as it makes them both feel incredibly loved and comfortable. But what makes Gabby even more comfortable, is when Matt puts his strong hand on her hip and turned his head to look down into her eyes; because now that's something that she always enjoys, and it's why she just put her hand on his face.
To keep his eyes on her, as they held each other close in bed. "Comfortable?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she asked him whether he was comfortable, as he most certainly is comfortable; and he'll always be comfortable if he's in bed with his wife, because he loves her more than anything in the entire world. "Believe me when I say this, you'll never have to ask me whether I'm comfortable when we're in bed with each other like this." Gabby agreed with Matt, and smiled as she kissed Matt once more. After all, this is perfect; and it makes her so happy to have the man she loves holding her in his arms while they relax in bed. But unfortunately, it wasn't going to last for long…and that's due to a certain baby boy who was currently crying after his brother hit him in the play pen.
Turning their heads, Matt, and Gabby both sighed as they knew what that meant; and that would be that Matt needs to get up again, so that he can go see what's going on with Matteo. "Sorry babe." Gabby shook her head as she heard Matt say that, as he had no reason to apologize for having to go be the best dad in the entire world. "Don't apologize, just go be the best dad in the entire world." Bending down, Matt smirked as he kissed his beautiful wife; after which, he rolled over and went to get up once more so that he could make his way over to the play pen. After all, Matt does need to comfort Matteo after he was hit by his brother with a toy.
Bending down to pick Matteo up out of the play pen, Matt took a breath as he held him close and just looked at him. "Hey Matteo, it's okay. Daddy's right here and he's got you." Cuddling up to his young son, Matt rubbed his back and just held him close; at the same time, he pressed some soft kisses onto his forehead to make sure that he was okay. "It's okay buddy, daddy's here and he's going to make you feel better." That was, until Gabby spoke up. "Or you can let mommy make him feel better, while you talk to Noah." Turning around, Matt agreed with Gabby as he carried Matteo over to his and Gabby's bed where he can cuddle up to her; meanwhile, Matt took a breath as he went ahead and looked at Noah, whom he has a feeling needs to just get out of the house.
"I think I know what I'm going to do with Noah."
Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that. "And what's that?" Making his way back over to the play pen, Matt smiled as he bent down and picked Noah up in his arms; after which, he cuddled up to him and kissed the side of his head. "What do you think of me taking a swim with our little guy, let him get some energy out while you take care of Matteo?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as that sounds like a lot of fun. "What do you think Noah? Do you want to go take a swim with daddy?" Smiling, Noah cuddled up to Matt as he held him close. Meanwhile, Matt turned to look at Gabby. "You okay with doing that with Noah?" Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling at the man of her dreams. "I most certainly am. I think you need to spend time with the boys." Matt agreed.
"Only until the girls need us, because I am going to help you with a feeding."
That was, until Matt heard Camila walk up to the door. "Or I can help her. And what event might have a time limit when it comes to how long you can do something?" Turning around, Matt smiled at Camila. "Me and Noah here are going to go take a swim, as I feel like he needs to get some of his spare energy out." Camila smiled as her son-in-law said that, as that most certainly sounds like a great thing to do. "I love that idea. But here, how about you give him to his abuela; I can go get him changed for the pool, while you do the same thing?" Matt agreed with Camila as she said that, as he loves that idea; after which, he proceeded to carry Noah over to Camila. "Noah, how about you go with your abuela? She's going to get you changed so you can take a swim with daddy." Camila smiled.
After which, she picked Noah up in her arms so that she can go get him changed. "Thanks Camila." Camila agreed. "It's no problem Matt." Meanwhile, Matt turned around to look at his wife once more. "You okay with this?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "Do me a favor?" Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that. "And what favor might that be?" Gabby smirked. "Grab me one of your shirts while you're getting changed in your closet? I'm going to cover up, and ask my mom to stay for a bit. I might as well take some time with her as you go take a swim with Noah." Matt agreed with Gabby, as that sounds like fun. "That sounds like fun." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, while watching her dreamy husband walk away to go get changed for the pool this afternoon.
Meanwhile, she turned her head and kissed Matteo's forehead. "What do you think of that buddy? Me, you, and abuela get to spend some time with each other as we practice your Spanish." Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, as that was adorable. "Take Andy out with you, okay babe?" Matt agreed with Gabby. "I will do just that." Walking further into their closet to his section, Matt made sur that he didn't take long to get changed; after all, who knew how long Camila was going to take with Noah. She's probably an expert.
Walking out of the bathroom with a towel under his arm, Matt smiled as he looked at Gabby while she sat in bed with Matteo. "How do I look?" Turning her head to look at her hunk of a husband, Gabby smirked as she loved the sight of him just wearing his swim trunks. "Who's that? A hunky swimwear model, or my handsome husband?" Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before making his way over to his dresser; after which, he proceeded to grab some of his deodorant and put it on. "Okay, what's with the deodorant when you're going to take a swim?" Matt thought about it and agreed as he went ahead and set his deodorant back down. "Just a habit I guess. Come out of the closet, and right away go ahead and put some fresh deodorant on." Gabby agreed with Matt.
Meanwhile, Matt made his way over to her and Matteo so that he can check on him; and just make sure that his little boy is okay. But to do that, he had to sit down next to Gabby and him on her side of the bed. Not that Gabby really minds, as she loves the fact that Matt was sitting with her on her side of the bed. "Hey little man, you okay?" Leaning over Matteo, Matt smiled as he kissed his forehead softly. "Daddy's sorry that Noah hit you like that. But I promise that he's going to give him a stern talking to, as you take it easy with mommy. How does that sound?" Matt then proceeded to tickle Matteo a bit, which made him laugh. "Yeah, you like that." Matt then bent down and went to kiss his stomach and gave him some kisses as a way to make him smile, which it did.
It made a big smile appear on his face, which is exactly what both parents want to see on his face; they both want Matteo to have a big smile/grin on his face as they relax together as a family. And luckily for him, that's exactly what he's going to get for a while. After all, they are pretty much stuck here for a while. "Yeah, you're happy to have mommy and daddy home for a while? Aren't you Matteo?" Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as she really loved the way the man of her dreams was speaking to their sons. "I have to say, that I am so impressed in the way that you speak to the boys." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. "Well, I'm glad. Because that's how I want to speak to him. I want to speak to them in a way that they love and appreciate."
Gabby agreed with her dreamy husband as he said that, before moving her hand to his face; after which, she kissed him and smiled as they both took things nice and slow with each other. "Keep it up, and there might be a little something-something in it for daddy later." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, before leaning over her and kissing her again. "Now, you need to deliver." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, well aware of the fact that she needs to deliver for her man. "Just take a breath and take it easy before I kick you out of bed tonight." And that was something that ended up concerning Camila Vergel-Dawson as she walked back into their bedroom, as she thought that they were fighting. "Okay, seriously? You guys just got home, and you're already fighting?"
Turning his head as he heard Camila say that, Matt shook his head as that was not what was happening. "That wasn't fighting Camila, it was flirting." Camila then realized what they were talking about, and just shut up. "Yeah, you might want to shut up when it comes to that mom." Camila agreed with her daughter as she said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I most certainly will; but I am also here to tell you that Mr. Noah here is ready to go take a swim with his papa." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, before getting up and smiling as he made his way over to Noah. "Oh, is that right now?" Reaching out to Matt, Noah smiled as he wanted to go take a swim. Meanwhile, Matt picked him up and just smiled as he held him in his arms. "Hey you little man."
Bringing Noah close to him, Matt smiled as he was really happy to be holding his little guy; after which, he wrapped his arm around him and turned to look at Gabby. "I shouldn't be too long." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Oh, I know that. But still, have fun with him baby." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, before smiling as he turned his head and looked at Noah. "C'mon Noah, let's go take a swim together." Kissing his forehead, Matt smirked as he walked away to go take a swim with Noah. At the same time, Camila smiled at her daughter who looked quite comfortable in bed; but at the same time, she also wanted to do something else. And that would be to hold one of her granddaughters, as she spends time with her daughter.
So, she decided to first make her way over to them and look down at the little girls who were currently fast asleep. "God, they are both so precious." Gabby agreed with her mother as she said that, well aware that was the case. "And I am so glad that they are here with us. Now, do you want to hold one of them?" Turning her head, Camila smiled. "Can I?" Gabby nodded, before smiling at her mother as that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted her mother to get a chance to hold one of her Nietas (Granddaughters). "Bella is on the left; Sofia is on the right." Camila agreed with her daughter, before making her way over to the cribs so that she can pick up one of her granddaughters before making her way over to Matt and Gabby's bed so that she can spend some time with her.
