Thanks again for reading and onto the next chapter. Here we go with part two of their anniversary.

Chapter Twelve
The Caseys Celebrate Two Years – Part Two

Making his way back upstairs shortly after making him and Gabby some breakfast this morning, Matt smiled as he walked into their room whilst carrying the tray he used to bring their breakfast upstairs. However, he wasn't exactly concentrating on the food at the moment as he was instead taking a moment to admire just how gorgeous his wife looks right now as she laid down in the comfort of their bed this morning; it truly is a sight to be seen, especially since he believes that Gabby is the most beautiful woman in the entire world. In fact, it's one of the reasons why Matt feels so blessed, lucky and honored to call Gabby his wife. She's extremely beautiful, and she's also pregnant with their baby. And that's precisely why they're going to just take it easy and relax in bed with each other today, as Gabby isn't feeling to best at the moment. And since that's the case, Matt plans on doing whatever he can to make her feel better; at least, things that are within his power and control at least. And honestly, that's all that Gabby wants today as well.

She was to be taken care of by her husband, as they hold each other close in the comfort of their bed; while he also loves her to the best of his abilities, which is the perfect way to celebrate a wedding anniversary (in he opinion). You celebrate you anniversary by spending it with the person you love the most, your spouse; and speaking of her spouse, she just realized that her loving husband was in their room once more when she (finally) heard him speak to her this lovely morning. "Well, if this isn't the sexiest sight in the entire world? The sight of my gorgeous, sexy, pregnant wife in our bed as she wears some sexy lingerie for me?" Gabby blushed as Matt called her sexy, while also enjoying how he just flirted with her; I mean, what wife wouldn't love it when her husband flirts with her. "Oh, you love the fact that I'm wearing lingerie; don't you Mr. Casey?" Matt smiled, agreeing with the woman of his dreams after she asked him whether he like the fact that she's wearing lingerie for him; and he most certainly does as she looks extremely sexy.

Yet, at the same time, he wants to make sure that she knows that she doesn't need to wear it for him today; because that's the last way he would want her to feel. If she'd rather they just wear sweats or something, then they can do that. They can wear sweats as they hold each other close and take it easy with each other, which is precisely what Matt decided he was going to tell her; just as soon as he set their tray of food down on their bed and made his way over to her, as he wants to sit down next to her and place his hand on her body as he speaks to her. Because as much as he loves the sight of her in lingerie, he doesn't want her to wear lingerie today if she doesn't want to. If she doesn't feel up to wearing it today, she shouldn't feel obligated to just because it's their anniversary; if anything, he'd rather she be comfortable in bed (so that she can feel better), rather than be sexy with him. Yet, at the same time, he also doesn't want to loose the sight of his very sexy wife in her lingerie right now, on the occasion of their wedding anniversary.

But still, he wants to make sure that she knows how he feels; as that's a promise which they made to each other, that they'd always share how they truly feel with each other. And that's precisely what he's going to do. "Of course, I love what I see Gabby. I love the sight of you wearing lingerie, but that doesn't mean that I'm not a bit worried over the fact that you're wearing lingerie." Gabby was confused when Matt told her that he was worried right now, which led her to sit up and invite her husband to come sit with her. "Come here baby. Come sit with me." Matt agreed with his wife as she said that, as that's precisely where he was headed; he was headed to sit down next to her so that they can cuddle and talk. But first, he grabbed the tea he brought upstairs for her; while also grabbing his coffee, which he was going to enjoy. "Here, slip over and I'm going to sit with you as I hold you close." Gabby agreed with Matt, as that's precisely what she wants to do. "Can you move the tray close to us? We can eat off of it. What'd you make anyways?"

Matt smiled. "I made us some banana pancakes, already cut up so that it was easier for us to eat." Gabby smiled, as she loved the sound of that; just like she loved the sight of Matt slipping the tray of pancakes closer to them so that they can eat. After which, she grabbed her fork and went to take a bit of the pancakes as she wanted to try them. "Oh, now those taste good." Matt smiled as he grabbed his own bite of breakfast, while agreeing that it was good. "So, I hope you know that I meant what I said downstairs; the whole me wanting to make sure that you feel better, because I know you've been feeling like crap lately." Gabby agreed with her husband, while also taking a breath. "Yeah, I guess it's hard." Matt agreed with his wife as he took another bite of breakfast. "Well, let's hope that your new medication helps." Gabby smiled, as she knew the exact medication he was talking about. At her last appointment, her OB/GYN gave her some medication to help with the morning sickness. "I already took them." Matt smiled.

After all, he's glad that she already took them. "I'm glad, because I know you want to feel better; and I think they will make you feel better." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, before setting her fork down and getting close to Matt; placing her hand on his neck, Gabby smiled as she leaned in and kissed the man of her dreams softly. "I love you, and I hope you know that I feel happy right now." Matt agreed with Gabby. "Good, because I want to hear that. I want to hear that you're happy as we have a great day." Gabby snickered as Matt said that. "Yeah, what's so great about spending our anniversary in bed?" Grabbing Gabby's hand, Matt stroked it with his thumb as he stared into her eyes. "Us spending our anniversary in bed sounds great, because it means that I get to hold the woman I love close to me as we celebrate how much we love each other. How you're the woman of my dreams, and how I truly know now that I can't live without you." Gabby smiled and agreed with Matt as he said that, while moving her hand to his face.

Leaning her forehead against his, Gabby smiled as she was very happy; while Matt placed his hand on her arm, prior to whispering to her. "Gabby, I love you; and I'm going to make sure that we gave a great day. Because a great day in my books…is any day that I get to spend with my beautiful wife and our future child." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, before stroking his cheek with her thumb. After which, she moved her hand down his chest and just cuddled up to him; while also making sure that she didn't kick the tray of food, something Matt helped her by holding it down. After which, he placed his hand on her back and smiled as he leaned his forehead against hers as they held each other close. "Did I ever tell you how lucky I am to be your wife?" Matt nodded, while also smiling at the woman he loves. "And I'm a very lucky man to be your husband, as I love you more than anything. Now, listen; we need to eat this food before it gets cold, then we can hold each other close all day." Gabby agreed with Matt, before smiling.

After which, she moved away from him a bit so that they could eat breakfast together this morning; ahead of them spending the day in bed holding each other close on their wedding anniversary.

The banana pancakes which Matt and Gabby just enjoyed with each other in the comfort of their bed were truly magnificent; and even better, Gabby didn't throw up after eating them. Rather, she was just taking it easy and laying down in bed as she waited for Matt to come upstairs from the kitchen once more. But, just why might he be downstairs in the kitchen, you might ask? Well, it's due to the fact that he just can't seem to leave dirty plates here in their room. Rather, he's always determined to bring them downstairs; and the truth was, that's something that Gabby's okay with because he does it while she's awake. Though, there are times where she's asleep by the time he gets back; but this wasn't one of those times, as she was still awake when she saw Matt come into their room wearing his tight boxers once more. "Sorry, I didn't mean to take that long; I wanted to come faster, but…" Shaking her head, Gabby smiled as she looked at her husband. "You just did the dishes, I understand Matt." Matt agreed with his wife as he smiled at her.

After which, he started to make his way over to Gabby. "Well, the dishes aren't going to do themselves." Gabby snickered when I said that, agreeing with me. "Though, you do know that I can go get you something if you need me to. Just tell me, and I'll go downstairs right now to get you something else, or something more for breakfast." Gabby shook her head, as she's good. "I know, you're worried that I got sick again; but, I didn't and I'm fine both when it comes to not getting sick and food-wise. I'm not hungry. However, I am hormonal and craving my husband." Matt snickered as Gabby said that, well aware that she was hormonal. Hell, she's been hormonal since the start of the pregnancy, which is precisely why he's more than okay with them staying in bed. "Well, I'm glad that means you want to stay in bed." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, as that's precisely where she wants to stay right now; she wants to stay in bed and just hold her husband close to her. And that's precisely what she's about to do as Matt walked up to his side of the bed.

After which, he smiled at the woman he loves while opening the covers on his side of the bed. "So, how am I getting in bed?" Gabby smiled as Matt asked her how he's going to get in bed with her, as he's going to get in bed laying down on his side so that they can cuddle up to each other and hold each other close. "I want you laying down on your side, so that I can cuddle up to you and share some nice kisses with you. Some nice anniversary kisses." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, smirking as he proceeded to climb into bed with the woman he loves, the woman he craves more than anything in the entire world, which is precisely why he got in bed with Gabby, so that he could hold her close and just take it easy. And that's what they're going to do now that Matt was in bed again, and the covers were closed on top of them both; well, just as soon as Gabby cuddled up to her man (which is precisely what she did the moment she had a chance). She moved close to Matt and cuddled up to him, while wrapping her arms around his torso.

Meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arm around her back and smiled as he pressed his lips to her forehead. "You know, I thought we were going to watch a movie marathon today on our anniversary." Turning her head, Gabby smiled as that was true. "Let me guess, the quiet is a bit boring for you?" Shaking his head as he adjusted the covers, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arm around Gabby and then leaned in to kiss her softly. "Nothing can ever be boring for me when you're involved." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, smiling as she looked up at the man she loves more than anything. After which, she placed her hand on his chest and smirked as she leaned in and kissed him softly; while Matt moved his hand to the back of her head and just smiled as he took things nice and slow with the woman he loves. "So, Hallmark Channel movie marathon?" Gabby agreed with Matt, as that's precisely what she wants. "Do you mind laying down on your back and then I can cuddle up to you?" Matt agreed with Gabby, smiling as he rolled over.

Laying down on his back as soon as he could, Matt smirked as he watched Gabby crawl on top of him and lay down on his chest before cuddling up to him with her arms around his waist; and Matt had to admit, that this is very comfortable and precisely what he wants to be doing right now. He wants to hold the woman he loves close to her as they cuddle up to one another in bed. And that's precisely what they're doing now that Gabby was on his chest. "God, this is comfortable." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife as she said that, smirking as he turned his head and pressed his lips to her forehead. "I'm sorry that this is all I want to do right now." Matt shook his head, as that's the last thing he wanted to hear. "Gabby, I already told you this before; all that matters to me is that you feel better. And if that includes a nap, then take a nap and just take it easy. I truly mean it when I say that babe. Take a nap and just take it easy." Gabby agreed with her husband when he told her that, smiling as she cuddled up to him and relax; until she fell asleep in his arms.

Waking up from her morning nap this morning, Gabby was a bit confused when she no longer felt Matt under her; rather, she was once more sleeping on their mattress with the covers on top of her. Hell, he wasn't even in bed with her as she couldn't feel his strong arms around her. So, she was just a bit lost and confused when it came to just where her husband is; that was, until she rolled over and saw him facing away from her while reading on his iPad. And just what might he be reading? Well, he's reading about how to start a company here in Hawaii, which is something that he needs to figure out; well, after they also figure out what they're going to do. He also wants to figure out ways to just start a company as easily as possible, though that wasn't going to happen unfortunately. Hell, based on what he's reading it seems quite hard; especially since he still needs to figure out a bunch of things. But hey, at least he can get started on some things, which is why he's currently downloading some documents which might help him out in the process.

And just what might those documents be? They would be the incorporation papers, which is what he needs to fill out if he wants to start a company in Hawaii; and he's noticed that there's a lot. And, there's also a fee that he needs to pay to start a company. But that's fine, as he has the money to start the company; there are just a lot of other things he needs to read about. Things such as: how to build a board of directors, employment regulations for the state of Hawaii, safety regulations, etc. That's probably just the tip of the iceberg when it came to what he needs to learn about, but he's just not sure what else there possibly could be at the moment. All he knows is that he's starting to feel a bit stressed and overwhelmed when it comes to what it means to start a business here in Hawaii, which is why Matt was actually quite grateful to his wife when he heard her speak to him. "You looking at how to start a business?" Turning his head when he heard Gabby, Matt smiled. "I was." Gabby agreed with her husband, smiling as she looked at him.

Meanwhile, Matt proceeded to lock his iPad prior to setting it down on his side table; after which, he rolled over and smirked as he moved close to Gabby once again. "Sorry about that, I thought you were asleep as you feel asleep earlier." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case. She then proceeded to cuddle up to him and smiled as she wrapped her arms around his back, while also slipping her legs in between his; meanwhile, Matt wrapped his arms around her and smiled as they both held each other close. "Hey, it's okay. Just talk to me and tell me what you found." Matt sighed. "I was looking at all the documents that I need…that we need to fill out so that we can start a company. Then, I saw something about a Delaware company, so I was just trying to figure out what that is." Gabby agreed with her husband, while also smiling at him. "I think it's something to do with taxation." Matt agreed with his wife, as that sounded right. "Yeah, because a lot of companies operate there. I think." Gabby smirked.

After which, she got even closer to her man; cuddling up to him nice and close, Gabby smiled due to the fact that this is very comfortable. Hell, she's always comfortable when they're in bed with each other. "Quick question, what time is it anyways?" Matt smiled as he looked at the woman he loves. "It's only 10. Seems like we always wake up at 8 since we moved here." Gabby agreed with her husband. "So, that's 1 pm Chicago time." Matt laughed and agreed with Gabby. "Yeah, that's always nice. Being able to sleep in, which makes sense why we both go to bed early." Gabby agreed with her husband, smiling as she placed her hand on his face before kissing him softly. "So, quick question…are you serious about this business thing? I'm just worried that it's going to be a lot." Matt agreed with his wife. "I think I want to do it, as it means that we can give back to others. We can make jobs for a lot of people, and it may mean that I can be at home more." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she likes the sound of that. "You want to be hands-on?"

Matt agreed with Gabby, as he does want to be a hands-on dad. "Of course, I do. There's nothing more important to me than being there for our kids." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, well aware that was the case as she felt him bend down and kissed her softly. After which, she placed her hand on the back of his head and smiled as she started to take things nice and slow with each other. "I'm so proud of you, I hope you know that Matt." Matt agreed with his wife., smiling at her. "However, I hope you know that you are going to be giving some money to the charity." Matt laughed, before agreeing with Gabby. "Oh, I already knew that. I promise, I'm going to donate; maybe yearly or bi-yearly. I just want to make sure that we grow our wealth, while creating a legacy for our child. I don't just want to be someone who has money and tries not to spend it; as that's going to get boring. Rather, I want to do something in the world." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, before looking up at her man. "I knew I married the right man."

Matt smiled as he heard Gabby say that, before turning his head and bending down to kiss her softly. "You know what, we can deal with this at a later date. I want to concentrate on you right now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he said that, smiling as that's what she wants as well. "Listen, let me put my iPad in my drawer." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling as she grabbed the remote and then went to turn on the on; while Matt rolled over in bed and opened his side table so that he could put his iPad in, but only after he noticed something. He noticed that he finally found something he's been looking for: the pregnancy test Gabby took while they were still in Puerto Rico. He swore he'd lost it, but now he's found it; and that's why he blanked out for a second, until he heard Gabby call him. "Matt, you hear me? I said comedy or drama?" And that's when Matt finally got tugged back to reality, while also rolling over in bed.

Matt's POV:
As I rolled back over onto my back with the test in my hands, I smiled as he took a moment to look at it. "Just put it on the Hallmark Channel again babe." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, while I sat up; an action which Gabby noticed. "Hey, everything okay?" Turning my head to look down at the woman of my dreams, I smiled when I showed her what I found. "Oh my god, is that the pregnancy test?" I nodded while agreeing with Gabby, who soon sat up with me and smiled as she looked at the test. "The first one we took together." I smiled and agreed with Gabby, as that most certainly is the truth. "Yeah, I am so glad we took it together." Gabby agreed with me and smirked as she leaned in and kissed me. "Listen, how about me and you lay down and just cuddle?" Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she slipped over in bed again; meanwhile, I went to set the pregnancy test back down in my drawer before closing it. "So, I am going to keep it there." Gabby agreed with me. "Good, because that's where I want it."

I agreed with Gabby and smiled as I slipped down in bed, before watching as Gabby crawled into my arms and then cuddled up to me; after which, I decided to just lay down on my back as that's what Gabby really wants me to do. She wants me to lay down on my back as we cuddle up to each other and hold each other close, just like we did (for a bit) while she took her nap. "Feeling better after that nap of yours?" Gabby agreed with me when I asked her whether she feels better after her nap. "Yeah, it was nice; and I think it was exactly what I needed. I needed to just take a nap and feel better." I agreed with Gabby and smiled as I ran my hand up and down her back, while also pressing my lips to her forehead. "God, you are so damn sexy." Gabby agreed with me, smiling as she bent down and kissed my chest. Meanwhile, I thought about something else we said we wanted to do. "So, are we going to do some shopping today?" Gabby laughed. "You want to start shopping for our little girl?" I agreed with Gabby and smiled as I loved the idea of that.

Of us shopping for our little girl. "I wouldn't mind it, but it's your choice." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she laid her head down on my chest and just cuddled up to me; meanwhile, I placed my hand on her back and stroked it with my thumb. "So, you happy we found the pregnancy test?" I nodded as I wrapped my arm around her back and smiled as I pressed my lips to her forehead. "Yeah, I am. But we don't need to concentrate on that right now. Right now, we need to concentrate on you getting the rest you need. You seem exhausted baby, are you okay?" Gabby took a breath when I asked her that question. "I've been having night sweats recently as part of my pregnancy." I took a breath when Gabby told me that she's been having night sweats, before pressing my lips to her forehead once more. "Why didn't you tell me Gabby? I would've woken up with you, and we would've slept more during the day. I don't care if you don't like doing it, I want you to get enough sleep for the sake of our baby." Gabby agreed with me.

After all, she knew how important it was for her to get the sleep she needs. "I know, and I'm sorry." I agreed with Matt, as I knew that she was sorry. "I know you are, just remember that you need to talk to me since we're a team when it comes to this." Gabby agreed with me, smirking. "The best team in the entire world." I agreed with Gabby and smiled as I pressed my lips to her forehead once more. "I swear, I am not worthy of a husband like you." I laughed when she told me that. "I feel the same way about you. Speaking of which, I wanted to let you know that we got some text messages." Turning her head, Gabby looked up at me confused. "From whom?" Smiling, I decided to go grab my phone so that I could show Gabby the text messages which we received.
