Hi Readers: What did you guys think of the first chapter for today? Does it remind you of the old story? Do you think that it's living up to the old hype of the previous story under this title? Well, I hope it does due to the fact that I hope to write this story for a very long time. Thanks again for reading, and I hope that you stick around for this new version of the story. Now, let's get to the next chapter.

Chapter Three
Beach Day, Part 1

The beach bag was all packed and ready to go with all the essentials that one may need at the beach. Sunscreen? Check. A good book to read? Check. Their towels? Check. Now, there was just one more thing that Gabby needed to do; however, it wasn't something that she needed to pack. Rather, it was something which was going to infuriate her husband, which would be to walk downstairs in the sexy swimwear which she decided to wear to the beach today, the sexy swimwear that he didn't get to help her put on. Oh, and how he isn't going to get to run his hands all over her body in it until AFTER he goes surfing; then again, that was his mistake as he was the one that chose to go surfing first. So, he's going to be the one that suffers while she wears a tight bikini that perfectly hugs every inch of her skin; while also leaving her back completely revealed so that he can leave kisses on it. Then again, this is also the perfect swimsuit that she can wear to get revenge on him. After all, she's already seen the wetsuit that he's going to wear while he surfs (as she was there at the store with him when he bought it and his surfboard); and let's just say that it's very tight and shows him off down there.

In fact, it shows him off very well, which is a huge turn on; so, this is not just to torture him, it's just making things even in her opinion. I mean, why should she be the only one who has to watch their spouse walk around the beach in something tight; something which is hard to take off, which means that they can't have sex that easily. Oh, and add on the fact that she's the one who's pregnant (and is very hormonal); and that just makes the swimwear she's wearing the perfect way for her to get revenge on her husband. So, she's more than ready to hear her husband complain; because Matthew can complain all he wants, but she's not changing out of this swimsuit. And that's precisely what Gabby was thinking as she made her way downstairs from their room, only to see her loving husband standing in the kitchen with his wetsuit at his waist at the moment, which he only did after she told him to do that, as he was originally going to wear it zipped up from the start. But, not on her watch; he can wear it at his waist for the time being, especially since it's such a turn on. Then again, some men just don't realize that it's better to stay like that if they want to have kisses.

Especially from their hormonal wives, as just seeing their toned, shirtless chest makes them go wild, which is the entire reason why she told Matt to wear his wetsuit like that for a while. Still, she has to admit that he's pretty dumb sometimes; and he knows that, because he realized the mistake he was originally going to make when he saw Gabby come downstairs in her tight swimwear. Damn, now that's a real turn on and he's so glad that she came down wearing it; as it meant that they were equally turning each other on at the moment, with her wearing that nice swimsuit. Meanwhile, he was wearing a nice wetsuit (up to his waist); which Gabby also had to admit was really doing him justice, which is going to lead to them having sex at some point. That's something that Gabby just knew and couldn't be denied. I mean, he's really turning her on at the moment; but not enough to make her want to tug him back upstairs and force him to make love to her yet. Rather, she's more than okay with just taking it easy and relaxing with each other right now; that and sharing a sweet kiss with him in the kitchen. Whether she stars it, or he does; she doesn't care who starts it this morning.

All that matters to her is that they get to share a nice kiss with each other, a couple kisses with each other to be precise. But first, how about they just start with some fun? And what type of fun might she be talking about? Well, that would be the fun that comes with teasing her husband. The man who just so happens to also be (a) the man of her dreams, and (b) the father of her child at the same time; and that's really something that Gabby can't wait for. To see Matt as a dad, as she already knows that he's going to be a formidable father; and as painful as it may be, she really can't wait to give birth so that he can officially have the title "daddy" again. That's going to be perfect. But right now, she doesn't need to concentrate on that. Rather, she needs to concentrate on making her way to the kitchen so that she can have breakfast with the man of her dreams; the man who is really teasing her right now with the nice sight of his (muscular) chest which she loves to sleep on. She just hopes that she can do that for her entire pregnancy.

And that's because of what she gets to listen to when she sleeps on his chest, and that would be the glorious sound of his heartbeat under her ear; it always soothes her so much, and just makes her fall asleep very quickly. It's paradise to her, and precisely what she wants to listen to each and every day for the rest of her life. But right now, she can do without it due to the fact that she's not going to take a nap or sleep overnight; rather, she's going to have breakfast with her husband. Something which she already knew was going to be ready the moment she made her way over to the kitchen, as Matt always makes sure that (at least her) breakfast is ready when she comes downstairs. Matt just wondered why it took her so long, as he just heard her flip flops start hitting the floor now. "Hey, what took so long? I was starting to get worried." Gabby sighed as Matt asked her that question, which only made Matt realize just what happened in between the time he left her upstairs and she (finally) made her way down here: she had morning sickness.

There was just something about the way she was acting right now that confirmed it, before she even had to tell him that happened; something which Gabby really did love about Matt, how he can already know some things about her pregnancy even before she had to tell him. And it even led him to extend his hand, while motioning for her to get close to him as he asked her the question he already knew the answer to. "Did you have morning sickness?" Gabby sighed, before nodding as Matt asked her whether she had morning sickness; after all, that's precisely what she just had. And right now, that was the last thing she wanted to have when she instead wanted to feel nice about being pregnant; something that she always feels when she's close to Matt. So, she decided to get close to him and wrap her arms around his muscular torso; an action which Matt loved the feeling of too, as he wrapped his arm around her waist and pressed his lips to her forehead. Meanwhile, Gabby set their beach bag on the ground and just pushed it aside.

Not that she needed it at the moment, not when she'd rather have Matt hold her in his arms, which is precisely what he was doing now that he had both of his arms wrapped around her, with his lips pressed to her forehead. And damn, does she love this feeling. It's truly the best feeling in the entire world, and she especially loves it when they're cuddling up to each other like this in bed. It always makes her smile, especially since she always cuddles up to the man of her dreams like this; the man she's proud to call her husband. The man who just bent down and started to kiss her softly, until he pulled away and spoke to her. "How are you feeling Gabby? Are you sure that you want to go to the beach babe?" Looking up at Matt, Gabby smiled as she most certainly did want to go to the beach. "Never ask me that question again, because we're going to the beach; especially when you're already teasing me like this." Placing her hand on Matt's chest, Gabby smirked as she ran her hands around Matt's abs; as well as his gorgeous, muscular chest she loves.

But not as much as him in general, as he's the love of her life. "You re so damn sexy, and I just want to run my hands all over your body whenever I can." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, smiling as he placed his hands on her hips. "I feel the same way, especially when you look this sexy; and I'm not just saying that because I want to have you again later." Gabby laughed as Matt told her that, because she loves him so much. After which, she leaned up and kissed him softly. "Listen, I'm going to go sit in the living room. Make us breakfast?" Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that she was going to sit in the living room, before asking him to make them breakfast. "I'm already making us breakfast; and, of course babe, go relax and take it easy. I'll see you in a bit." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as she walked away so that she could do as he told her to do take it easy and relax as she sat in the living room; while also waiting for him to join her so that they can have a nice breakfast with each other this morning.

Before we continue: If you forget, this is the chapter where I first mention the money that Matt now has in the original story; and I am going to do the same in this story. But first, I am going to put in the caveat that I know that this isn't the most realistic thing; but, I am not sure how else to do it since it was such an integral part of the story going forward. Therefore, I am going to keep going as is. Thanks again for reading this new version of the story, and I hope that you guys truly enjoy it just as much if not more than the last.

Quick Note: I am not sure if you remember this from the last time I wrote this story, but Gabby had a blog in that story; I am going to continue that part of the story in this story, with new blog posts that I may write in the future. Thanks again for reading.

Matt's POV: Shortly after making me and Gabby breakfast this morning, I smiled as I made my way over to her in the living room so that we could eat. However, only after I did something first, which would be to make sure that the proportions that I give her aren't as big. And that's due to the fact that I've recently come to the realization that the more food I give her, the more likely she is to have morning sickness. So, I'm trying not to give her too much; and then, she tries to snack as much as she can during the day. I just wish I knew where she kept all of her snacks, especially when she's sitting out here in our backyard living room, which she moved to rather than sitting inside, due to the fact that she wanted to start getting her fresh air sooner. However, that wasn't the entire reason why Gabby was outside at the table; as she was also out here as she wanted to work on her Microsoft Surface, on her blog more specifically. "What's the new name this time?" Turning her head to look up at me as I brought breakfast outside, Gabby smiled.

After all, she was quite happy that I brought her breakfast. "Thanks baby." I nodded, agreeing with the woman I love as she thanked me for bringing her breakfast; after which, I set the tray of food down on the table (while also leaning over her and kissing her). A kiss which most certainly was reciprocated by the woman I love, as she placed her hand on my face and took things nice and slow with me. "God, I love it when you kiss me like that." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smirking as I kissed her once more. "And I love it that we're here in Hawaii." I nodded, as I felt the same way. "I feel the same way. I feel like this is exactly where we need to be. We need to be here with each other as we relax and take it easy with each other." Gabby agreed with me, smiling as I told her that; while I went ahead and sat down next to her at the table with my plate, as I wanted to eat with her this morning. But first, I took a moment to look at her blog. "Oh, you decided not to change the name?" Gabby laughed, as she didn't change the name this time.

After all, it's been through a couple re-iterations recently. "Yeah, I decided to leave it as 'The Casey Family Blog' rather than change it all the time." I agreed with Gabby as she said that. "Good, because I like that idea. It's nice and just perfect. However, I thought it was just for our road trip?" Gabby shook her head, as it changed. "I changed my mind." However, I was confused when Gabby said that; so, I decided to dig deeper as to what she meant, while also taking a bite of breakfast. "Care to share why?" Gabby smiled when I asked her why she likes the idea. "I want to journal more. I feel like, if I have this as a journal…then people can give us help if they see we're having problems. And they don't need to ask us what's going on, because it'll be laid out on here." I agreed with gabby when she told me that. "Yeah, so I am just going to try and keep it positive though." I shook my head, as that was the last thing I wanted. "No, just post whatever you want. I promise that we can do that, and you can tell me whenever you post." Gabby was confused but listened.

Which prompted me to (keep) explaining what I was trying to tell her. "I can read your side, and then come to understand more of what the problems are in our marriage; then, we can fix things quicker." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, before also grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers. "Do you think we still have problems in our marriage?" I took a breath when Gabby asked me that question, as I should've known that was going to come up. "Gabby, we still have decisions to make for the future; and that's going to cause issues between us. Add in the hormones, and I might be scared to talk about some things so openly." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, understanding. "By the way, have I told you just how much I appreciate all you've done for me over the past couple months? First, the road trip; and then, us moving here for my pregnancy. I know it's expensive." Grabbing Gabby's hand once more, I intertwined our fingers and kissed the back of her head. "Hey, look at me baby." Gabby agreed as she turned to look at me.

"Baby, money is no problem. Apparently, my dad had two life insurance policies on him since he worked in electrical, and he secretly came from a rich family. Me and my sister recently got our inheritances after the court finally figured things out. About $15.8 million each. Not sure what happened, and I'm looking into it." Gabby was shocked. "What?" I nodded, before continuing. "Me and my sister both got $10 million each from life insurances too. There was a provision in his will saying that me and Christie weren't to get the money until 20 years after his death, which was this year." Gabby was still shocked. "Wait, are we…" I smiled as I leaned in and kissed the woman of my dreams softly. "We're millionaires and you get $12.9 million today is you decided to divorce me." Gabby was shocked when I said that, before smiling at me. "Well, we'll have to think about you going back to the fire department now. And we'll have to buy this place." I smirked. "About that." Gabby just looked at me. "You're kidding!" I smirked when Gabby (indirectly) asked me that. "Happy anniversary baby." Gabby smiled when I told her that, before kissing me softly. "Let's eat, then we can talk about that…and what it means." I agreed with Gabby, before stealing another kiss from the woman of my dreams.

Gabby's POV: I was still trying to wrap my head around what Matt just told me. First, he told me that it was the 20th anniversary of his father's death. And then, his father has a life insurance policy worth $20 million, and that we got $10 million from it due to the fact that split it with his sister; then, we also got an inheritance of $15.8 million (meaning his dad was secretly worth $31.6 million). In total, that's $25.8 million. We're millionaires, and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. But one thing that I'm glad about, is that it means that we don't need to work anymore (though, we want to). This is crazy. Oh, and we have a home in Hawaii now. Best anniversary gift ever. I really love matt, and I am so glad that we don't need to work anymore. This is the perfect life, and I am so glad that this is our life; oh, and that we're going to have a baby. However, I am not too sure whether I'm ready to stop working. But for now, I don't want to talk about that. I want to just take it easy and concentrate on my husband, as well as our baby.

A baby who will be born into money. Wow, that's crazy; but, we need to keep this private for now. Something which I was still thinking about, even as Matt came out of the house still clad in his wet suit while smirking at me. "I can see the wheels rolling in your head." I took a breath, nodding as I looked up at Matt. "Yeah, this is a lot to take in." Matt agreed with me as I told him that, while also carrying our water bottles over to me. Sitting next to me, he smiled as he wrapped his arm around me. "Nothing has to change." I smiled as I placed my hand on his leg and looked at him. "Other than the fact that we can live here for a while." Matt smirked. "You okay with the house I bought?" I agreed with Matt when he asked me that. "Depends, are you still going to work at the CFD?" Matt smiled. "Maybe, not sure what I'm doing yet. If anything, probably just the academy. The virtual course. Well, for now at least." I agreed with Matt, smiling as I liked that idea. "I like that idea." Matt smiled, agreeing with me as I told him that; after which, he leaned in and kissed me.

And damn did I love the feeling of his soft lips on mine, I always love this feeling. "You know I love you right?" Matt was a bit perplexed when I said that, as it was out of the blue. "What do you mean?" Taking a breath, I stared into his eyes for a moment. "I want to make sure that you know that I love you for who you are, not because of…" Matt was shocked that I even thought that way. "Gabby, we got married and got pregnant before we learned about the money. I know that, and you have nothing to worry about when it comes to me not knowing that you love me for who I am." I agreed with Matt, as that was the truth. "You have no need to worry about that." I smiled as I placed my hand on his face once more, before kissing him softly; while he placed his hand on my stomach and stook things slow with me. However, it wasn't long before my hand was on top of his. Smiling at my husband, I smirked due to the fact that he's very sexy; and due to the fact that this is all I want to do right now, take things slow and slow with my loving husband.'

So, I placed my hand on his neck and smiled as I took things nice and slow with him. "I love you so much." Matt agreed with me, smiling as I reminded him that I love him more than anything. "I love you too Gabby, forever." I smiled, agreeing with Matt as we both took things nice and slow with each other while sitting close to one another this morning; while we held each other close and started our new life in paradise.
