Hi Readers: Before we continue with this story, I wanted to let you all know that I have just posted a quick 1,000 word one shot to my one shot book if you want to read it. It's a follow up to another one of them, and I just thought about it and wanted to write it. It's not at all related to this story. But, I just wanted to let you know if you wanted to read it. Let me know if you guys have ideas for any other one-shots that you want me to write. Now, onto Chapter Thirty-One.

Chapter Thirty-One

The lingerie that his beautiful wife was wearing as they held each other close in bed this afternoon was incredible sexy, her husband compelled to keep his hand on her side the entire time as a way to both keep her as close as possible to him; and it's also a way for him to enjoy the most of the sexy lingerie that his beautiful wife was wearing for him. As much as she wants to say that she's just wearing it because it's comfortable, he knows the real reason that she's wearing it is due to the fact that it's incredibly sexy; and that she's guaranteed a bunch of time with his hand on her body if she's wearing lingerie like this. And that was a fact that he could confirm, as Matt's hand had yet to leave her side since they got in bed with each other. In fact, he is so turned on by this lingerie, he's having to hold back what he wants to do. He knows that, at some point, he's going to want to take it off so that he can take her in his arms. But that was not what he planned on doing today. Rather, he's just going to take it easy with her and make sure that they both relax; especially since Gabby's pregnant with their twins. God, just the fact that she's currently pregnant with their twins is incredible; and it really makes him smile.

It makes him smile so much, that Gabby doesn't really know just what he's smiling about at times. If he's smiling because of the lingerie that she's wearing right now, or if it's because of the fact that they're holding each other so close; if he's smiling because he loves her, or if it's due to the simple fact that she's pregnant with their twins. But the truth was, it was all of the above. He was smiling because he had the woman of his dreams in his arms, with their children safe in her womb; the womb where their children where safely growing inside of her. And even better, both she and their twins are currently laying down extremely close to each other; with his gorgeous wife's legs slipped in between his as another way for her to turn him on. Oh, the way she slips her legs in between his definitely turns him on; and Gabby is well aware that's the case due to the fact that her legs are also touching something else that he wants to have as close to her as possible. Heck, he would love to have it inside of her if she would bless him with the chance; but he knows that's not happening today.

The reason? Gabby already told him that she plans on wearing the lingerie that she's currently wearing for the rest of the day. And that means that Matt isn't going to get a chance to make love to his wife all day. But the truth was, he was fine with that; he truly was, because of how much he loves Gabby. At the end of the day, all that matters is that he gets a chance to hold her in his arms and keep her close to him. And that was exactly what she was exactly what he's in the midst of doing right now. He's holding her against his chest, as they just lay down in silence for a moment; and that was all they needed to do right now. They may be laying down in silence right now, but it was not awkward silence. Rather, it was comfortable silence; silence that they could only get right now, since they put their phones on silence (other than their emergency contacts). That meant that nobody was going to bother them as they just took it easy with each other at the moment. And honestly, that was exactly what the couple wanted. They just wanted to take it easy with each other and take a breath.

With all of the moving, and the stress that they've had to deal with recently; it's just nice at times for them to have a chance to lay down in bed together in silence. It meant that they got a chance to relax, with nobody disturbing them. And with them currently on leave for the charity, it also meant that they are going to be taking it easy for a while; and that's exactly what they both need to do. They need to relax and just take it easy with each other as a way to make sure that Gabby gets all the rest she needs for the sake of their twins, which Matt still can't believe he gets to say; that Gabby needs all the rest she can get for the sake of their twins. He never imagined that he and Gabby would ever have twins, but he still remembers what he said at the doctor. And he can't help but wonder, is Gabby worried about the fact that they're going from 0 kids to 2 kids all at once? They haven't exactly talked about it yet, but Matt definitely does want to talk about it. How they're going from 0 to 2 all at once. It's going to be a big change, and they both know that it will be a big change in their lives.

Taking a breath, Matt decided to tug Gabby against his chest some more as a way to make sure that she's right against him right now. And let's just say that Gabby actually really liked that, because it meant that she (and their twins) are currently right against both the man she loves; and (for the twins), their future daddy. God, she still loves that title for Matt. Future daddy. Matt has earned that title for years now, and she can't wait for him to have it for the rest of his life. But right now, she can just hold him close to her and take it easy. Looking into his eyes, she couldn't help but feel like them being all quiet with each other was a bit awkward. But, at the same time, it was nice. They were probably both thinking that way, as it gave them a chance to digest all of the news that they've gotten recently; not just that they're pregnant, but that they've been pregnant for 6 weeks. And then, the fact that they've having twins is something that they are both really enjoying.

Yet, they have yet to talk about it. So, they're definitely going to have to talk about that before things get too awkward in the both of them. The truth was, all of this silence was deafening; and they needed it to stop somehow. So, Gabby spoke first. "So, looks like we might be travelling a lot more in the next couple months." Matt was confused when he heard Gabby tell him that, proceeding to grab his wife's hand. "Why would you say that?" Gabby shrugged when Matt asked her that. "I'm just saying something. I have no idea what we're going to do. All I know is that we need to talk about my job with the charity." Matt took a breath when he heard Gabby say that, putting his hand on her side (which is the only way that he could have his hand close to their babies). I mean, it's not like she has a baby bump that he can put his hand on yet. "Yeah, we do need to talk about that, don't we?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he asked her that. She then took a breath as she looked at him. "I'm going to want to still be involved." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that. "And I'm not going to stop you from being involved in the charity, at least not when it comes to doing stuff here in San Juan." Gabby sighed.

"So, I can't even go to construction sites or anything?" Matt took a breath as he proceeded to grab his wife's hand. "Gabby, we're not just dealing with any pregnancy here. We're dealing with a twin pregnancy. That makes things much riskier when it comes to you going places. And it doesn't matter than you don't have an aneurysm baby, it still means that there's more risk during this pregnancy." Gabby took a breath as she put her hand on Matt's cheek. Stroking it, she decided to get nice and close to him, as close as she could get now…and it felt perfect. Going to grab the blankets, Matt smirked as he slipped his arm under her head and then tugged the covers up on top of the both of them. Putting her hand on his face, Gabby smiled as she stared into his eyes. At the same time, Gabby felt Matt move his hand to her back. Meanwhile, Matt stroked her back with his thumb and bent down to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman he loves, Matt smiled as he was happy; extremely happy to have his girl close to him…and he was even happier over the fact that she's pregnant. How it happened so fast just blows his mind away, but he will never complain about that as it's a dream come true.

"I still can't believe that your visit to Chicago last month, the first one led to us getting pregnant." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt say that, well aware of just what he was talking about. "Seems like it was faith. Are you mad that we didn't stay there?" Matt shook his head when Gabby asked him whether he was mad that they didn't stay there, because he will never regret their move here. "Baby, I already love it here; and I am so glad that we moved here, as this is where I think we truly belong. I can see that you're happier here, and that's where we belong…together with our future children." Gabby agreed with her man when he said that, smirking as she was quite happy with what she's hearing right now. "Did you ever think that you'd be saying all of this when we were still in Chicago?" Matt laughed when Gabby asked him whether he thought he'd ever say this when they were still in Chicago. "Oh, definitely not. I never thought I'd ever say all of this in Chicago. But, living here now is a dream come true because I have you. And even better, I have you in a place where you're happy. Baby, you weren't happy in Chicago, and that's not something that I want for you. I want you to be happy where you live."

Feeling Matt run his hand up and down her arm, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around his torso and just cuddled up to him. Afterwards, she felt him leave a kiss on her forehead. "Comfortable here in my arms?" Gabby nodded when Matt asked her whether she was comfortable in his arms. "Oh, I definitely am comfortable in your arms. I will always be extremely comfortable in your arms Mr. Casey." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby tell him that. "Good, because I will always be comfortable with you and our children in my arms too Ms. Casey." Gabby smiled when she heard Matt use her married name. "I've really gotten used to using my married name here, it's really nice…and I just like how we're The Caseys now." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that. "You know, sometime…Ms. Casey is going to have to let Mr. Casey take her out on a nice sit down date." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt say that. "Baby, we don't need to go out on a date; other than the date that we already went on to the beach. That was fun, and I was so turned on by your wet suit." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that his wet suit turned her on. Oh, did it now?" Gabby agreed with him.

"Oh, it definitely did; and I am so glad that I got an opportunity to enjoy the wetsuit that my man was wearing. It was really sexy, and I am so glad that you wore it." Matt nodded as Gabby told him that, moving his hand to her neck before leaning over her to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams, Matt just smirked due to the fact that he wants to make sure she knows that he loves her more than anything in the entire world (which she does). She will always know that Matt loves her more than anything in the entire world, as he shows it each and every day. He shows it by both his words and actions. God, the actions that he does for her are just as good as the words he tells her. "You know, I believe there was something that you promised me at some point." Moving his hand to Gabby's back once again, he stroked it with his thumb and smirked at his beautiful wife. "Oh, I promised you something?" Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling at him.

"I think I was promised a massage." Matt smiled at Gabby when she asked him for a massage. "Baby, I'm cozy though. I like you against my chest. I like the way I get to look into your eyes. Oh, and I especially like this…." Moving his hand to Gabby's side, Matt tugged her body against his and then leaned in to kiss her softly. Just taking things nice and slow with his wife, Matt smirked as he whispered against her lips. "I love being able to just tug you against my body and getting a kiss from you whenever I want one." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt tell her that, really liking that part too. "I have to admit, that part is really hot; and I'm happy that you're doing that." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that. "And I think the kids like that too." Gabby agreed with her loving husband when he said that, smirking as he mentioned kids…as in plural. God, to think that they're having two kids at once is still incredible, and it's something that she really loves to think about. "What are you thinking about baby? I can see your mind rolling there." Gabby smiled when Matt asked her that she's thinking about. "I'm thinking about were having kids, as in plural, rather than just having a single baby right now." Matt agreed.

"And you aren't worried about that?" Gabby took a breath. "I mean, am I going to say that I'm completely, 100% ready to go from 0 to 2 kids? Can anybody ever be ready to do that?" Matt shook his head when he heard Gabby mentioned that they can't exactly be 100% ready to do that. "But, we can try and be as ready as possible." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that. "Yeah, we can. And we can hope that we get a bunch of help from other people." Gabby nodded. "Are you okay with me inviting my mind to stay with us when the kids are born?" Matt nodded when Gabby asked him whether he was okay with her mom staying with them when they have the kids. "Speaking of which, I think we both have to do something. We didn't exactly have a chance to tell her yet, but we did tell our best friends; so we said that we needed to call her after our bath remember?" Gabby smiled when she heard Matt say that. "Yeah, we do need to call my mom don't we?"

Gabby's POV:
As I watched Matt come back to bed after putting a t-shirt on, I smiled as I was ready to video chat with my mom. We were originally going to just call her, but I thought about it and decided that I actually want to see my mom when I tell her this news. I want to see the reaction on her face that we're finally having a baby. I just hope that Matt's okay with his. I know he's comfortable when he's just wearing his boxers, but I would rather he had a shirt on when he's talking to my mom. Plus, I might take a nap; so, he might as well just keep it on. "This okay for our chat with your mom?" I smiled when Matt asked me how he looks. "You look fine baby. I was just thinking, maybe you can keep it on after. I know we celebrated and everything, and I'm wearing this lingerie but…" Matt then proceeded to walk up to his side of the bed, climbing in with me. Leaning over her, he put his hand on my neck and crashed his lips against mine as a way to shut me up. "Yes." I looked at Matt when he told me that. "Just like that?" Matt smiled at me, nodding. "I need to get used to it after all, kids in future."

I laughed when I heard Matt say that. "Yeah, you're not going to be wearing a shirt when we first have the kids; rather, you're going to have skin-to-skin contact." Matt agreed with me when I said that. He then went ahead and climbed into the bed with me, ready to just cuddle up to me as we spoke to my mom. Smiling at my husband, I smirked as I laid down on his chest and just cuddled up to him. I then gave him my iPad to hold. You're holding it." Matt laughed, agreeing with me as he went ahead and closed the covers on top of the both of us. Afterwards, he went ahead and held the iPad up so that I could call my mom. Going to find my mom's contact, I smiled as I went to call her on FaceTime so that we could tell her our news. At the same time, I laid my head down on Matt's chest while we cuddled up to each other. Afterwards, Matt turned his head and kissed my forehead softly. God, that is such a turn on; and I love it more than anything in the entire world. Looking up at Matt, I smirked when I felt him bend down to kiss me softly. And that's exactly what we did until we heard my mom.

"Oh, don't mean to interrupt." I laughed when I heard my mom say that. "No, you're not interrupting mom." My mom agreed with me, smiling at Matt. "Hi Matt, you seem very comfortable with Gabby in your arms." Matt smirked when my mom said that. "Si abuela." I just looked up at Matt when he said that, not having expected him to tell my mom that way, but I thought about it and it was perfect. "Matthew, that's grandmother. Mom is…wait a second." I laughed when my mom started to think about it. "Okay, hold on a second and back things up. Is this really what you're calling to tell me. Gabby, are you pregnant!" I nodded when my mom asked me if I was pregnant with me and Matt's first children. "Yes. I am currently 6 weeks pregnant with twins." My mom smiled when I said that, until she realized that I just said TWINS. "Sorry, back up. Did you just say that you're having twins!" I nodded, agreeing with my mom when she said that. "Yes, we're having twins."

Matt smiled as he turned to look at me, kissing my forehead in the process. "We're hoping for daughters." I looked up at Matt when he said that. "We're not hoping for anything. If we have boys, then we'll be happy. But if we have girls, then we'll be happy." Matt agreed with me when I said that. "Right, of course. We're not hoping for anything." Matt then went ahead and mouthed to my mom. 'Daughters'. I just looked up at my husband when he did that, giving him a bit of side eye. "Uhm, you do realize that there's a picture down here that tells me what you told my mom?" Matt then realized that and shook his head, proceeding to kiss my forehead softly. "I love you." I agreed with Matt when he said that, turning my attention back to my mom. "Wow, so this is a bunch of news. Are you guys happy? Wait, did you guys already check…" Matt agreed. "Yes, we already checked that it's IUP; that's how we found out it was twins Camila." My mom agreed.

"Right, that makes sense. Sorry, I just…I just had to ask." I agreed with my mom when she said that, taking a breath. "Yeah, I know. I had to do that too. I was worried, so we decided to just get it over with. We wanted to know right away. It just turned out that we also found out that we learned that we were having twins at the same time. Sure, we weren't expecting to get that news; but it was welcome news…and we were not going to complain about the fact that we got the news that we're having twins. After having lost both our first child, and then Louie…" I took a breath, a bit emotional. "I feel like it's owed to us in a way." Matt then turned his head and kissed my forehead softly once again, well aware that this is a hard topic to talk about with me. "It's okay baby, you can do it. And you've got both me and your mom right here with you. You can take a breath and just relax. I promise, I'm not going anywhere while you talk to your mom." I agreed.

"I appreciate that baby." Matt nodded, smiling at me as he looked down and just made sure that I was comfortable as we both spoke to my mom right now. I just didn't expect that it would be so hard. Why did I even bring up Louie? I knew that it would bring up some issues. I just didn't expect that it would still be this hard to talk, or even think about after all this time.

Matt's POV:
After me and Gabby finished speaking to her mom (and sharing the news), I knew that Gabby was just going to need a minute to take it easy and relax. She needs to breathe and now worry about everything that's on her mind right now. With everything that's on her mind at this moment still bothering her, I knew that this was going to be hard. But all I can do is just be there for her as we hold each other close. And by me being here for her, it means that we can just relax and make sure that there's nothing that we're missing at the moment. And that's what Gabby needs from me. She also needs to know that she can talk to me. But that was not all she was doing right now. Rather, she was also running her hand up and down my shirt as we relaxed in bed with each other. And I couldn't help but wonder if she needed to get out of bed for a bit. "Want to go use the pool or something?" Gabby thought about it, agreeing with me. "I think that might help me take it easy."

I agreed with Gabby when she said that. "I think it would too. Here, let's get up and then we can go take a swim." Gabby smirked. "Not just a swim." I looked down at Gabby when she asked me that, before realizing what she meant. "Hell yes." Gabby laughed, smirking as we both got up to take a swim.
