Hi Readers: Sorry, that I decided to delete some of the chapters I recently wrote, as I have decided to switch some things up. But, before we continue with the new chapters that I plan on writing for you guys; I wanted to explain the reasons why I decided to do that. The truth is, I am not just the author of this story. Rather, I am also a reader of this story. Each and every night, I read the chapters that I write for you guys as I try and think of more ideas that I can put in the chapters that I write for you guys the next day. And, after I read the chapter last night; I realized that the chapter just didn't fit in my story, nor did I feel like I did the chapter justice based on how short the chapter was. I would rather have very long chapters than have those short chapters. So, I have made the editorial decision to delete the chapter, and just no longer include the chapter in my story for the time being. However, I may write a similar chapter for you in the future. However, it will not be in the story for the time being. But for now, I have another chapter for you guys related to the end of the last chapter.


Chapter Twenty-Nine
A Dawsey-Stellaride Video Call


"WHAT'S THIS ABOUT YOU BEING 6 WEEKS PREGNANT WITH TWINS YOU HAVEN'T BEEN GONE THAT LONG!" -Lieutenant Kelly Severide, Rescue Squad 3

The rooms were quite for a while as the married couple tried to figure out what to say to the question that Severide just asked the both of them, how exactly they were going to explain the fact that they are currently 6 weeks pregnant with twins. They didn't exactly think about how they would explain to their friends just how this was possible, nor did they really want to talk about how this all happened by accident. I mean, they didn't really want to think that this fact was all an accident; because in their minds, this was faith. They believe that it was faith for them to get pregnant with their twins already. But now, they have no idea just what they're going to tell their friends when they ask them about these questions. Taking a breath, Matt was about to speak; when Gabby first decided that she was going to make sure of something. "Okay, before we even talk about this; can you guys tell us where you guys are in the firehouse? Like are you…."

Stella then proceeded to tell Gabby exactly where they were, as she obviously knew what she meant. "Oh, we're in Kelly's office. By the way Matt, you need to avoid your old office if you ever visit. It's a mess!" Matt got nervous when he heard that. "Who took it over?" Kelly laughed. "Herrmann took it over as soon as you said that you were leaving permanently. Pelham, the new guy, tried to take it. But he was like, nope…I am taking it because I have been waiting to be a Lieutenant for like 15 years." Matt just laughed when he heard Kelly say that, well aware that was the case. "Oh god, that was definitely the truth. I mean, didn't he and Boden start their CFD service at the same time?" Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that. "Yeah, they did start working at the same time." Matt laughed. "Then they definitely have been serving for the same amount of time. Honestly, I believe that he should've been a Lieutenant before us." Gabby shook her head.

"Okay, listen. I get that you guys miss each other, and I get that you guys want to talk about all of this. But aren't we here to talk about something else? Last time I checked, we're here to talk about something that is much more important right now. Specifically, we're here to talk about the fact that we're going to be having a baby, or two exactly." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby say that, running his fingers up and down her spine. Afterwards, he turned his head and kissed the top of her head. And let's just say that this is exactly what Matt wants to be doing right now, he wants Gabby to lay her head down on his chest and just cuddle up to him as she gets comfortable. "How are you feeling right now babe?" Gabby looked up at Matt when he asked her that. "I feel fine Matt, you don't need to worry about that." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that. "Oh baby, I'm always going to worry about you." Gabby nodded, agreeing with the man of her dreams as he said that.

He then bent down and kissed her forehead softly. Putting his hand on his wife's back, Matt stroked it with his thumb and just made sure that she relaxed right now. "So, how many fires have you guys been sent on today?" Kelly groaned. "This is our first time off in a while, so we are not really ready to talk about that since we don't want to jynx it." Matt agreed with his friends when he said that, well aware of exactly what they are talking about right now. There's this superstition in the firehouse that if you mention that you're about to get called out, then it's going to happen. And right now, Matt and Gabby actually want to talk to their friends; so, they don't want to have to send them out unless they have to. "So, what are you guys doing right now? Just working on paperwork?" Stella laughed. "Kelly was, but I distracted him after we got the text. I was in here resting on his bed. I swear, I can't wait to become a lieutenant." Gabby agreed with Stella when she said that.

"Oh, I can see that happening. I want to be there when you get promoted to Lieutenant Stella Kidd." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that, smirking. "Well, that's if it happens before you have kids. Not too sure if you're going to be able to come when you have two kids running around the house." Matt shrugged when he heard Gabby say that, running his hand up and down Gabby's back. "Oh, I am sure that we can figure it out. All I am worried about is the fact that they would be too crazy." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that. "Oh, I can see them crazy just because of the ethnicity of your wife." Gabby then looked at her husband's best friend. "Did you just say that me being Latina means that they're going to be crazy?" Matt just bit his lip when his wife asked him that, looking down at his wife. "Careful Matthew, remember that hormones are wild during pregnancy." Matt agreed with his wife when he said that. Kissing her forehead, Matt smirked.

"I see a lot of sex in your future Captain." Matt just stared at his best friend when he said that. "Did you really just say that!" Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, turning her head to look at her boyfriend. "Yeah, are you trying to say that my best friend is a slut?" Gabby then went to speak to her best friend. "Oh honey, I hate to say this but…I am a slut. God, I was in the shower with my man this morning. Heck, I think I am going to be wanting to take a shower with him every day until the end of my pregnancy." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby say that. "Maybe we can even take a shower after the end of this phone call." Stella laughed when she heard Matt say that. "Oh calm down Captain, we're still on the call with you guys last time I checked. And I would rather not hear about my best friend's sex life." Matt just laughed when her heard Stella say that. "Oh, that's the biggest load of BS that I have ever heard of. I have seen the texts you send Gabby."

Gabby turned to look at her husband when he said that. "You look at my text messages?" Matt laughed. "Just the ones that pop up on your screen when you're fast asleep on my chest." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smirking as he said that. Feeling him leave some soft kisses on her forehead, she almost moaned as he went to move his hand to the inside of her thigh…very close to her place of pleasure. "Okay, calm down baby. Last time I checked, we do have our friends on the call with us right now." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smirking as he told her that. "Okay, I get that. But, at the same time; I do have double the hormones because of twins." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that. "I'm not sure that it words that way." Matt then went to snap at her a bit. "Stella, shut the fuck up. More hormones means more fun for me." Gabby laughed as she felt Matt run his hand up and down her back as they hold each other close, just taking it easy.

"For me too, as I am the one who needs to be relieved last time I checked." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby say that, turning his head to kiss her forehead softly. Afterwards, he looked down at the woman of his dreams while running his fingers through her hair. "You need anything babe?" Gabby looked up at Matt when he asked her that, smiling. "Baby, we just had lunch." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that. "Yeah, I know that you did just eat; but I do know that you may need something too. Who knows whenever you may need something. Remember, this is my first pregnancy." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, before hearing Kelly say something. "I'll have to send you some resources that I have still bookmarked on my iPad." Gabby was confused. "Why do you have resources bookmarked on your iPad." Kelly sighed. "Uhm, I don't know if you remember…but me and Shay were thinking of…" Gabby took a breath when he said that.

She then started to think about her best friend, the best friend who's never going to meet their children. "You need to talk to me alone?" Gabby bit her lip as she laid her head down on Matt's chest. "I can wait." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, feeling her lay her head down on his chest. Afterwards, he felt her stroke his chest while bending down to kiss his chest. However, it's also a bit worrying; and that's due to the fact that Matt will always be worried for his wife. "I might go get us some water." Gabby then got up out of bed so that she can get them some water. "Baby…" Gabby just went to get up and grabbed her water bottle (even though it was still full). Sitting up, Matt looked at his wife before turning his head to look at his best friend. "I screwed up didn't I?" Matt shook his head when he heard Kelly say that. "No, I think it's okay. I think that she would've gotten emotional about this at some point anyways." Kelly agreed with his best friend, sighing.

"For what it's worth, I miss her too." Matt nodded. "I know you do. But I think that this is also related to her hormones." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that. "You're screwed." Matt took a breath. "Tell me about it. But I would rather she be pregnant than not pregnant, as I want to be a dad more than anything in the entire world. Now listen, I need to let you go so that I can go talk to my wife; and I need to make sure that she's okay right now." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that, well aware that he needs to get up and go check on Gabby; that's just something that a good husband does. And Matt definitely is just that, a great husband who wants to do whatever his wife needs him to do.


Matt's POV:
Walking out of me and Gabby's bedroom this afternoon, I took a breath because I could just tell that something's up with her. She wants to talk to me about Shay…or maybe not. The reason I feel that way, is due to the fact that she misses Shay more than anything in the entire world. So now, she's going to want me to be here for her. So, that's exactly what I'm going to do. I'm going to be here for the woman I love as I hope her close to me. I want her to know that she can lean on my, and just be the man that she needs me. She needs me to hold her, and she needs to relax. However, she also needs to take a breath for me. That's just a fact, and I'm glad that she's going to have me here with her. If she needs me, then she's going to get me. She's going to relax, and she's just going to take it easy with the woman of my dreams. Looking at my wife as I walked into the kitchen, I proceeded to grab a glass so that I could give some to Gabby. Walking up to the sink, I sighed.

The sigh was due to the fact that I could see the sadness in my wife's eyes. And that was why I was filling up a glass of water; as that is what Gabby needs right now, she needs a glass of water to calm down. Afterwards, I went ahead and proceeded to walk over to the woman of my dreams. I want her to know that I'm here for her, but she probably already knows that's a fact. I mean, I have been here for a while; and I plan to be here for a while. Just making my way over to her, I smiled due to the fact that Gabby needs to relax. I then went ahead and proceeded to put Gabby's glass of water out for her to grab. "Here, I got you a glass of water for you to enjoy." Turning her head, Gabby looked at me before taking a breath. "Sorry about all of the drama that…" I shook my head when Gabby said that. "It's fine, you were provoked; and I understand that. But now, I want you to just take a breath and drink this water for me." Gabby agreed with me. "Can we sit out here as I drink it?" I nodded, agreeing with Gabby when she asked me if we can sit out here as she drinks her water right now.

"Of course, we can baby. We can drink water out here, but you need to promise me to breathe. Or we can go back to bed. But, at the same time, we're done speaking to our friends because you're getting too emotional right now." Gabby laughed a bit when she heard Matt say that. "Maybe you can do me a favor while I'm drinking my water?" I looked at Gabby when she asked me that. "And what would that be?" Gabby smirked. "Maybe you can go run me a bath?" I smiled when Gabby asked me that. "Oh, so you want to take a bath?" Gabby smiled when I asked her that. "I wouldn't mind some company too." I smiled when Gabby said that, deciding to sit down next to her on the couch for a minute. Wrapping my arm around her, I smiled when I felt her put her feet up in my lap. Putting my hand on her leg, I smirked as this is comfortable. "You okay?" Gabby sighed when I asked her if she was okay right now, before shaking her head. "I really miss her baby." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, well aware of the fact that she was really missing Shay right now.

"She's missed a lot of milestones in our lives. Us getting engaged, us getting married, you getting pregnant." Gabby smiled, agreeing with me when I said that. "Meeting Louie, god I would've loved that." I smiled a bit when she said that. "God, if only she was there when you first started that; I would've jumped on board much sooner." Gabby turned her head when I said that. "Really?" I just gave her a bit of side eye, trying to remind her who Shay was; and I also wanted her to remember that she was not afraid to speak her mind. "Last time I checked, she wasn't afraid to speak her mind; even when I was a Lieutenant, and she was just a paramedic." Gabby thought about it, and just agreed with me before laughing. "She probably would've gotten to you before Antonio got to you." I smiled at her when she told me that. "She would've gotten to me before you moved into Herrmann's house." Gabby snickered a bit when I said that, agreeing with me completely.

"Oh definitely, she would've chewed you out." I nodded, agreeing with the woman I love. "You want to know something else she would've done for us?" Gabby turned to look at me when I said that. "What?" I took a breath and looked down. "She would've sat us down, and she would've made it her business to make sure that we were okay; she would've made sure that we were talking, before you even had to leave. She would've also stopped me, even though I thought I was doing the right thing at the time." Gabby took a breath when I said that. "Do you ever regret not getting a second opinion?" I took a breath when Gabby asked me whether I regret not getting a second opinion. "To tell you the truth, I ask myself that question every single day; whether we should've gotten a second opinion. Maybe then, they could've told us the truth that you didn't have an aneurysm. Then, I would've taken your advice to just stay the course." Gabby agreed with me.

"Then again, we wouldn't be here right now; in this lovely setting, in a place that we can really enjoy on a daily basis." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smirking as I knew that we are both really enjoying us living here; in Puerto Rico where we really have fallen back in love with each other. The place where we keep falling back in love with each other more each and every day. And that's exactly what I want for the both of us. Leaning in, I proceeded to kiss the woman I love more than anything in the entire world. "Want me to go run us that bath now? Then, we can take it easy? Or do you want to take a shower together?" Gabby smiled. "Can we take a bath?" I agreed with Gabby when she asked me whether we can take a bath together. "Of course we can, and we will; I promise." Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "Go run it?"

I nodded, agreeing with the woman I love before leaning in and kissing her softly. "See you soon okay?" Gabby agreed with me, smiling as I told her that I would go run her a bath. Afterwards, I proceeded to get up and walked away to do just that.


Gabby's Thoughts:
As I watched Matt walk away to go run us a bath, I smiled due to the fact that I truly love that man more than anything in the entire world; he's just the best husband, and I am so proud of the fact that he's my husband. He just loves me more than anything in the entire world, and I am so proud that I am the woman who gets to call him mine for the rest of my life. There's truly nobody that I would rather be married to, and I am positive that Matt is well aware of that fact. I can just see the way he looks at me all the time, and it's if he knows that I just want to be married to him, and I do. I only want to be married to him due to the fact that he's my man. He's the man I love, and the only man that I can see myself having kids with. And he's also so attentive and loving. He just understands me more than anybody ever could, and I am so proud of the fact that we are going to be having kids. If only it was already that time in our lives, where we are already parents.

I want to be a mom more than anything in the entire world, and I just hope that our dream of having mixed-gender twins (e.g. a boy and a girl) comes true. I especially love the names that we've got chosen for our kids, because they are perfect. Well, maybe we can change the name for our daughter. If Matt gets a (somewhat) namesake, I want one too. And we're thinking; in our dreams…that we're going to have a baby named Sofia. But, what if we have a daughter named Bella? It's closer to my name (Gabri-ELA), and that would just make things fair. I will definitely have to bring that up to Matt while we're sitting in the bath together. Oh, the idea of us sitting in the bath as he gives me a massage; now, that's going to be paradise. I have been so stressed recently, and I just need that from my husband. I need him to run his hands all over my body and make me feel better. If he can do that for me, then I will definitely be one happy woman; and I need a massage.

Maybe a couple massages after all the drama that I've caused so far today. God, these hormones are going to be hell to deal with for Matt; and I am definitely going to have to thank him for having to deal with all these hormones for the rest of my pregnancy. However, I really doubt that he's really going to car when it means that he's (finally) going to be a dad. I know that it's what Matt wants more than anything in the entire world. He wants to be a dad, and I want to make him a dad. I want him to have children, and I want him to have that experience. God, just the idea of Matt having a daughter puts a smile on my face. I already know that Matt will absolutely love being a dad, and I can't wait for him to be one again. Sure, he was never Louie's legal father; but in my mind, that's what he was to him. He treated him as if he were his own, and that's everything that I ever wanted in life. For my dreamy husband to treat Louie as his own son, and he did.

But enough stalling. I already know that Matt is going to get impatient if I don't join him in the bath as soon as possible, because that's where he wants me. He wants me in the bath, holding me in his arms as we just take it easy. And honestly, I want the same thing. I want to cuddle up to my man as he holds me close to him, which is something that I plan on enjoying for the rest of my life; and Matt knows that, he knows that he's stuck with me for the rest of his life. And the truth is…I think he likes the fact that he's stuck with me for the rest of his life. It's no secret that he loves me more than anything in the entire world. Now, just to tease him enough so that he can have fun. I already know what he wants in life, and that's me and our future children. Now, I am just going to go join him in the bath; then, we're going to hold each other close as I enjoy his massage. God, he is so damn sexy; and I am so proud to call him my husband. That will never change, as he's mine.

To think, we almost got divorced in the past; but we both agreed that it's never going to happen in the future. We're going to be husband and wife for the rest of our lives, and I am definitely ready for that to be the case. Nothing like a loving husband who wants to be mine forever. Now it's really time to stop stalling, because I know exactly where Matt is; and if I take any long he's (1) going to get worried that I'm not alright (the pregnancy has really made him much more protective of me), and (2) he's going to come and find me when he should really be running us a bath. God, I love taking a bath with him; and I am so glad that we're about to do just that in the nice bath we have here in our home. It's absolutely stunning, and I am so glad that this is going to be our home for the rest of our lives here in Puerto Rico. (Maybe forever). That's yet to be decided though. But I have a feeling that's exactly how long we're going to be here, forever.
