Hi Readers: My apologies for the long delay in getting a new chapter out to you guys, but I decided to take a break in between chapters to think about what I could include on the walk if I wanted to go for another chapter with it. And the truth is, I decided against covering the walk. So, I am instead just going to concentrate on what happens when they get back from the walk.

Chapter Three Hundred and Sixty-Nine
Happy Birthday Baby, Part Nine

Want to know the best way to say happy birthday to your dad? Well, that would be to have a diaper explosion all over him while he's changing you shortly after getting back from a walk; changing you so that you can take a nap right after he gives you a bottle (while also eating lunch with your mother and brothers). But no, daddy's little princess Sofia had other plans; plans that now require him to take a shower, so that he can clean off the poop that came out of her little body. I mean, how does a little body like hers make that much poop? Well, at least there's one thing that he can be happy about; and that would be that his lunch didn't come rushing back up. No, the pizza that he had for lunch somehow managed to stay down; unlike Gabby, who decided to come upstairs and be with her husband. But not only was she going to come be with him in bed, but she was also going to come help him wash up, which is something that Matt will appreciate. He just didn't know that it was going to happen yet, as she wasn't in the shower with him yet.

Rather, she was taking her time walking into the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body; a towel that will only come off once she's completely ready to get in the shower with her man. She just hopes that she has enough time to get in with him, as she ended up taking much more time than she expected putting both of the twins down for a nap; and talking to her mom and asking her to take care of them when they wake up. And she right away agreed, due to the fact that she knew that her husband was going to be a bit agitated after what happened; and because she also knew that her daughter wanted to do something with her husband…she just didn't outright say that, due to the fact that it would be creepy. After all, she is her mother; and she would've been talking about her daughter's sex life with her husband. But at the end of the day, Camila knew that she needed to do what she needed to do; and right now, that was to take a shower with her husband before they relax in bed with each other for a while. Something Gabby liked.

She loved the idea of just spending some time with her man, as she gave him some of what he wants; her. He wants her to run her hands all over his body, as they take things nice and slow with each other, which is precisely what Gabby plans on doing with the man of her dreams today. She plans on taking things nice and slow with her husband, as they take it easy with each other in bed. But first, she needs to get in the shower with her husband, which was an action that surprised Matt, who turned to look at Gabby the moment he heard her open the door so that she could join him in the shower this afternoon. "Hey, what are you doing in here? I thought you would be with the kids?" Gabby shook her head, as she wasn't going to be with the kids for a while. "No, I'm not with the kids." Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, as he could clearly see that was the case. "I can see that." Gabby nodded, while getting close.

She then proceeded to wrap her arms around his neck, while Matt moved his hands to her sides as he cuddled up to her and leaned in to kiss his gorgeous wife softly. "God, I am so lucky." Moving her hands to Matt's chest as she stepped close to him, Gabby smiled as she ran her hands down his chest and kissed him once more. "To have me in your life?" Matt nodded, as that most certainly was the thing that made him a lucky man; the fact that he was married to her. "Yes ma'am." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before kissing him softly once more. "Well listen, I have some changes to our schedule." Matt was a bit confused as he heard Gabby say that, before bringing her body against his chest; after which, he bent down and kissed her neck softly. "Oh, you do now?" Grabbing the back of Matt's head, Gabby moaned as she agreed with her husband. After which, she turned her head and kissed his neck softly. "Yes, I do. Because I spoke to my mom downstairs, and she said that she can watch the kids for us." Leaning back, Matt smirked at his wife.

The wife who stepped close to him again, while wrapping her arms around his neck and leaning in to kiss him softly, while her husband also wrapped his arms around her at the same time. "Which means that I'm in no rush to be anywhere, and that I have time to be with my husband if he wants me in bed for a bit." Gabby then stepped close to Matt, pressing herself against his body. "Oh baby." Moving her hands to either side of Matt's face, Gabby agreed with him before leaning in and kissing him softly. "Oh, I have a feeling that you just love that." Matt nodded, as he most certainly does love the feeling of his wife pressing herself against his body. "Are you kidding me? That was fuckin' hot baby!" Gabby agreed with her loving husband as he said that, while continuing to take things nice and slow with the man of her dreams; the man she plans on spending some time in bed with, rather than with their children. "I mean, if that's what you want. If you want the kids then…" Matt shook his head, as he most certainly does want to be with his wife.

He then tugged her body against his, kissing her once more as he went ahead and spoke to her. "Shut up, as that isn't what I want. I want you in bed with me." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, taking things slow with the man of her dreams. "I had a feeling that was going to be the case." Matt smirked due to the fact that it most certainly was the case. He wanted his wife to be in bed with him, as they held each other close and took it easy; now that was the perfect way for them to spend his birthday. Anyways, they still need to talk about something. "Anyways, we still need to talk about something. I mean, we never got to it on the walk after all." Gabby agreed with Matt as she went ahead and pushed him against the wall, which really turned Matt on. So much so, that he tugged her body against his chest and then leaned in to kiss her softly. "Now that was fuckin' sexy." Gabby agreed with Matt, well aware that he most certainly did just love what she did for him. I mean, what husband wouldn't love it when his wife pushes herself against him.

But at the end of the day, that's not what makes him smile; rather, it was just her being here in the first place. That's what made him happy, not the sex; that was just a bonus. "I hope you know that just you being here makes me happy." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she was well aware that her being here with him was what made him happy. "Of course, I know that baby." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, before leaning in and kissing her once more. And god, was that the best feeling in the entire world. The feeling of her soft lips on his, as they held each other close in the shower and got very close to making love to each other in the shower. But they didn't, as Matt wants to save that for later. If he's going to get sex on his birthday, then he's going to get it later when they are ready to go to sleep. "I hope you know I don't want sex yet." Gabby was confused as she heard her husband say that, quite surprised.

I mean, she thought that he would want her in bed now that they're alone. "Really?" Matt nodded as he leaned in and kissed her again. "I want to fall asleep with you, naked in my arms after I make love to you." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as that was exactly what she wanted as well. She wanted to take things slow with her man later, before falling asleep in his arms, which was why she just went ahead and kissed his neck, to show him that she was okay with that plan. While at the same time, she also turned her husband on as it meant that their bodies were right against one another's in the shower. And damn, did that really turn Matt on as he turned his head and leaned in to kiss her neck. "Fuck, now that's a real turn on baby." Gabby agreed with her husband as he said that, well aware that was the case. "I know, and that's why I'm in the midst of doing this right now; how I'm currently teasing you like this." Matt smirked as he turned his head and then proceeded to kiss the woman he loves softly. "Ahead of lingerie time." Gabby smiled.

Turning her head while continuing to smile, Gabby decided to ask her man whether that was what he wanted. "Is that what you want?" Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around her back and kissed her softly, before picking her up in his arms and wrapping her legs around his waist; that way they could hold each other close even more. "God, you are so damn sexy. And I am so glad that you're my wife." Gabby agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case as she leaned in and kissed him once more. "You don't think you've told me that enough times?" Moving his hands up and down Gabby's back, Matt proceeded to turn around and push her against the wall of the shower; he then leaned in and kissed his gorgeous wife, while taking things nice and slow with each other here in the shower. "God, you are so damn sexy." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that he thinks that she's sexy. "I know you think I'm sexy, as you say it whenever we're doing stuff like this." Taking a breath, Matt turned to look at his wife today.

"Do you think that we do this too often?"

Turning her head to stare into Matt's eyes, Gabby was shocked that he even asked her that question. "Who are you, and what have you done with my husband?" Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, before leaning in and kissing the woman of his dreams nice and slowly. "God, you are so damn sexy when you say stuff like that." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, well aware that he finds her sexy when she says stuff like that. "And that's why I say it, because that way you're turned on and call me sexy." Matt snickered as he stared into Gabby's eyes. "I miss this side of us, the fun side of us sometimes." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. But right now, he doesn't need to worry about that. "Listen, we are having fun right now; and that's all that matters birthday boy…" Gabby then leaned in and kissed Matt once more. "Happy birthday, by the way." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him happy birthday, even though she's already said it to him. "You already said it, but thanks." Gabby agreed, smiling.

"Heck, you've said it hundreds of times already today."

Gabby was confused as she heard Matt say that, unsure of just why he said that. "Ok. I need an explanation." Smirking, Matt leaned in and kissed the woman he loves to show her what he means. "Every time you kiss me, you tell me happy birthday one more time." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, as that most certainly is the truth. Her kissing him, well that's the best way for her to say happy birthday to the man she loves as it's one of the sexiest ways that she can do it. By taking things nice and slow with the man of her dreams, whom she loves more than anything in the entire world. "I love you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that was the case. "I love you too, and I am so glad that this is what we're in the midst of doing right now. Just taking a nice shower with each other, as we have fun on my hunky husband's birthday." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before kissing her again. "I love you so much." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her I love you, nodding as they both continued to take things slow.

Yet at the same time, Gabby still had something on her mind; and that was the fact that Matt said that he wants to bring the headquarters here to Illinois. But she just doesn't know exactly what that means. "Think we can just cuddle in bed for a bit? I want to talk to you about something." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that. "You want to talk about the headquarters stuff?" Gabby was shocked, as she was surprised that he already knew what she wanted to talk about. "How did you…" Matt laughed as he looked at Gabby. "Because we were going to talk about it on our walk, but we never did." Gabby agreed with Matt. "We had the kids, and we had Andy." Matt agreed with Gabby, before leaning in and kissing the woman he loves softly. "At least we already started the conversation." Gabby agreed with Matt. "Then let's just share a kiss here in the shower, then we'll get dressed and continue the conversation together in bed." Matt agreed with Gabby. "Deal." He then leaned in and kissed her softly this afternoon in the shower.

He came out of the washroom faster than she had expected him to come out, as she was hoping to get her shirt on before he came out; that way he wouldn't have a chance to see it and get some ideas in his heads. Ideas like the one he just mentioned to her. "You know, you don't have to wear a shirt, if you don't want to." Looking up at the man of her dreams as he tugged his shirt down over his muscular body, Gabby shook her head as that most certainly was not going to happen. She was going to be wearing a shirt, and that was not going to change. "I love you, but that isn't changing baby." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Hey, I tried. And at least you aren't wearing a bra." Turning around to face her husband, Gabby smirked as that was something that was always going to happen. "Oh, you had nothing to worry about when it came to that. I was always going to be braless." Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, while making his way over to her at her dresser this afternoon. After which, he put his hands on her hips.

Moving her hands to Matt's face as soon as he was standing in front of her, Gabby smiled as she stroked his cheeks and then stepped close to him. Doing the same, Matt wrapped his arms around Gabby while bending down and kissing the woman he loves softly. The woman of his dreams, whom he craves all the time. "God, you are so damn sexy." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that. "How did I know that you were going to say that?" Matt smirked as he leaned in, kissing his gorgeous wife once more. "Because you love me more than anything, and you're happy right now." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she most certainly is happy right now. She's always happy when she gets a chance to be alone with the man she loves. "I mean, why wouldn't I be happy? I have a chance to be alone with the man I love." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, while wrapping his arms around her waist; meanwhile, Gabby put her hands on his arms and just smiled as she stroked them with her thumbs while staring up into his eyes this afternoon.

"You look handsome, for us just cuddling up in bed with each other."

Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that. "And you look very beautiful, as you always do." Moving her hands to Matt's chest, Gabby smiled as she leaned in and kissed the man she loves softly. The man of her dreams, her husband Matthew Casey. "God, you are such a tease Matthew Casey!" Matt agreed with Gabby as he ran his hands up her back, while also continuing to take things nice and slow with her. "Want to take this to bed? We can hold each other and just take it easy with each other right now? Maybe we can talk about things that I want to talk about?" Gabby agreed with Matt, well aware that he wanted to talk about that. "I mean, if you're okay with us talking about it." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she was more than okay with talking about it. "Hey, it's your birthday at the end of the day." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, well aware that was the case. "And so far, I have loved every minute of it." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before her husband picked her up in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist.

Cuddling up to Matt as he did that, Gabby smiled as this was perfect; both the fact that they were alone with each other, and the fact that she was currently being carried to bed by her husband…as he ran his hands up and down her back and left soft kisses on her neck. "Oh, now if that isn't a sweet tease that I'm most certainly enjoying right now my dear husband." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, well aware that was the case. Well aware that what mattered to her, was that they were just holding each other close in the first place; and that this is what they are going to be doing for a while. "I'm glad that this is what we're doing now on my birthday. As much as I love the kids, I love being with you on my birthday right now." Gabby agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case as she felt him carry her towards the bed where they were going to hold each other close today; where they would relax with each other as they cuddled in bed while sharing some kisses…as she knew that Matt wasn't going to resist giving her those.

They decided that they were still going to lay down close to one another in bed, as that was something that they always loved doing with each other; laying down right against one another under the covers. Plus, it was a way to keep each other warm in bed; not that they were going to be cold, as they were wearing their sweats. More specifically, they were both wearing some of Matt's sweats; and that was something that he really liked the sight of. There was just something about the sight of his wife wearing his sweats that really turned him on. And it will always turn him on, due to the fact that it was something that he loved to see; especially since he knew that it also made her feel comfortable and even safer in his arms (if that was even possible). And there was a reason for that, which was that (by wearing his clothes) he was everywhere with her in a way; so, Matt most certainly was not going to say no to her wearing his clothes if it made her feel safe, as that was everything that Matt wanted in life. For his wife to feel safe, even when he's not around.

Not that he's going anywhere anytime soon, as he has nowhere to go during the pandemic; nowhere that they can't go together. Especially not when he wants to keep his family safe. And for them to stay safe, then he has to stay exactly where he is right now. "Now, this is exactly what I want to be doing right now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case; that this was precisely what he felt like doing right now. Just laying down in bed together, as they held each other close and relaxed. "I can only assume that you're very comfortable right now?" Matt agreed with Gabby as he ran his hand up and down her back, as that was exactly how he felt with his wife in his arms. He felt comfortable as they held each other here in bed. "I mean, you are pretty cozy here; and that's all that matters to me at the end of the day. That we're both comfortable, here in our bed." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, while also turning her head to look up at the man of her dreams. The man she loves more than anything in the world.

After which, she watched as he bent down and kissed her softly, while also placing his hand on her back and stroking it with his thumb. "I love you." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, well aware that she loves him as he loves her too. "I love you too. Now, I think we had a topic that we were going to talk about as we laid down here in bed with each other." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as they most certainly did have something that they wanted to talk about as they laid down here in bed with each other. Something related to what they want to do, when it comes to the new Casey Headquarters. Or is it just an office? That was something that they still had to nail down. "So, listen, I think first we need to figure this out. Are we considering this our new headquarters?" Matt agreed with Gabby, as he was going to be considering this the new headquarters. "It's the office that's closest to our home, so yes it will be our headquarters." Gabby agreed with her husband as he said that, before looking up at him. "Are we going to just plan for a bit?"

Matt bit his lip, as he wasn't sure. "I know, it's a lot of money. Do you think that we're going too far, too fast?" Gabby sighed. "That's what I'm worried about. That we're going to go too fast, and just rush it." Matt shook his head. "I think I want to take time and think about it rather than go too fast. I think we made that mistake last time." Gabby was confused as she heard her husband say that. "What are you talking about?" Matt sighed. "If I could go back, I think I would've gotten land and done a wider building; rather than have a taller building." Gabby agreed with Matt. "Then we would only have maybe 3-4 floors. Maybe now we would have 5 floors at the most." Gabby agreed with Matt. "One floor per division." Matt agreed. "Can I list the floors idea then?" Gabby agreed.

"Main floor: Entrance, Executive Offices, and Boardrooms. Second Floor: Casey Apparel design space, and manufacturing. Third Floor: Casey Fire and Casey Training, Fourth Floor: Casey Training and Casey Police, Fifth Floor: Casey Health. Sixth Floor: Extra Offices."

Gabby agreed with Matt. "Yeah, I think that six floors is enough for what we need." Matt nodded. "But then we make it like a campus in the future, adding on as we need it. I mean, with the exception of Casey Training. That would be done elsewhere on the plot of land in it's own facility." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that really did make sense. "I'm glad that you gave Casey Apparel it's own floor." Matt snickered as he heard Gabby say that, before moving to grab her hand and stroking it with his thumb. "That was always going to be the plan. I was always going to give each division their own floor. Anyways, I want to make it very wide rather than tall." Gabby agreed with her husband as he said that, before leaning in and kissing him softly as she put her hand on his face; meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around her back as he took things nice and slow with the woman he's crazy for at the moment. "I am so glad that we decided to do this right now." Gabby agreed with her husband, feeling the same way about that.

"Honestly, I had no doubt in my mind that we would end up here at some point today."

Matt snickered, well aware that was the case. "I think that's all we needed to know when it came to what we wanted here." Gabby agreed with her husband, before smiling as she leaned up and proceeded to kiss him softly; just taking things nice and slow with the man she loves more than anything in the entire world. And that man would be her husband, and the father of her children, Mr. Matthew Casey. "God, I love you so much." Matt agreed with Gabby, as he loves her too. "I love you too, and I am just so happy that we're on the same page when it comes to the office." Gabby agreed with her husband, before taking a breath. "Well, there might be one thing that we might now be on the same page on." Matt was confused as he heard Gabby say that. "What are you talking about?" Gabby sighed as she looked up at Matt. "Well, it's the timeline for it." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that. "What timeline are you thinking for it?" Gabby bit her lip, before going ahead with telling Matt when she thinks they should do the new office.

"I think we should wait at least two years before we do that."
