Chapter Seventy-One
The Shirtless, Boxer-Clad Chef

The couple ended up taking separate showers this afternoon after having made love to each other shortly after getting back from the beach, mostly due to the fact that Gabby was being a bit lazier than Matt. Yes, the couple ended up falling asleep after they made love to each other; after all, that was something that the couple has done on a regular basis ever since Gabby learned that she was pregnant (her being more tired than her husband of course). However, that didn't mean that Matt wasn't happy with the fact that they ended up falling asleep after making love to each other; rather, he was completely fine with Gabby falling asleep after they make love as it means that she's getting the rest that she needs in order for her to have a safe and healthy pregnancy. And a safe and healthy pregnancy, means that they are going to have healthy babies when they're born in a matter of months. But there were reasons that Matt is fine with letting his wife take it easy.

The couple ended up taking their time getting out of bed, and taking some showers this afternoon after having made love to each other shortly after getting back from the beach; and that was mostly due to the fact that Gabby was being a bit lazier than Matt. While Matt wanted to get up and get to doing stuff, Gabby wanted to stay in bed with him some more; but just ended up staying alone for a while, but not Matt. No, he decided to let her rest in bed while he took a shower. But there was a reason that he decided to get up and leave Gabby in bed to rest in the process. That reason being that it allows him to get some work done around their home while she rests. The current task that Matt's in the midst of doing while his wife gets some rest? He's currently standing on the back porch of their home, still clad in nothing but his boxers as he works on making them some steaks at the barbecue. Sure, he may be a wealthy man now; but that doesn't mean that he's going to go all out like other millionaires and get himself his own private chef.

Rather, he's going to cook for his wife; and he's going to make sure that the food is up to her standards, the standards that are much higher than his standards based on the fact that she's the one who is currently pregnant with their children. And let's just say that being pregnant with his kids has been really nice, as it means that her hormones are quite high; which means that he gets a lot more sexy time with his wife, both in bed and out of bed. God, the lingerie that she likes to wear for him. That's how he knows that she's feeling good, and hormonal; if she's wearing lingerie, it means that she can stand being out of bed for a while and that she doesn't believe that she's going to need to throw up much. Well, either that or she just wants to tease him. Yes, there are times where she just wants to tease him; and that means that she's going to look all hot and sexy in some nice lingerie that she wears for him. I mean, not that he's complaining of course; he never will.

If Gabby wants to wear lingerie for him, then she can wear lingerie for him all she wants. That's one thing that Matt will never do, he will never stop his wife from wearing sexy lingerie for him as she walks around their home; especially when it turns him on more than anything in the entire world. Gabby is so damn sexy, and he wants to see her wearing lingerie whenever she wants to wear it for him; and that includes right now, as it's exactly what she's doing for him as she makes her way out of their room. Walking out of their bedroom clad in some very sexy lingerie, lingerie that hugs her baby bump very well; Gabby Casey smirked as she looked at the man of her dreams as he stood in their kitchen clad in his boxers, the boxers that hugged him very well too. And God, did her husband look good when he was wearing them; which was definitely something that she was going to enjoy. The sight of his ass in those tight boxers was something she enjoyed.

And it was also something that she was going to make sure that she enjoyed as long as she could, which meant that she needed to be quiet as she made her way out to the porch; that way, Matt wouldn't turn around and face her as she walked over. Then again, that wouldn't be all that bad either as it meant that she would be able to see the other side of his boxers; the other side that was just as tight as his behind, as it hugged the other part of his body that she loved looking at. The part of his body that got her pregnant with their twins in the first place. Just making her way over to the back porch, Gabby smiled as she slipped thought the back sliding door before making her way out behind her loving husband; placing her hands on his hips, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around his torso from behind, kissing his back in the process. "Hi handsome." Matt smirked when he heard Gabby tell him that, before turning around to face her. And boy did he like what he saw, the sight of his wife in a bathrobe and lingerie is always incredible; and Gabby knows that he likes it.

"Oh, you best be moving in front of me Ms. Casey; because that's where you belong when you look this sexy." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt tell her that, as that's exactly where she wants to be as well; she wants to be in front of him so that she can put her hands on his chest, and rub it while they share a kiss this afternoon. Oh, and she wants to tell him how good he was in bed. Damn, he was just amazing; and she's so glad that they made love to each other after getting home from the beach. Gabby loves her husband more than anything, and she can tell by the way he makes love to her that he feels the same way. Just moving close to Matt as soon as she was in front of him, Gabby smiled as she put her hands on his abs and stroked them with her thumbs; moving her hands up his chest, she then wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled as she stepped close to the amazing man whom she has the honor of calling her husband. And she truly meant that.

At the same time that Gabby was stepping close to him and wrapping her arms around his neck, Matt set the tongs down on the side of the barbecue and proceeded to open her entire bathrobe that he could see much more of her lingerie. Smirking as Matt did that, Gabby put her hands on his chest and then kissed him once again. "God, I love you so much; and I am so glad that this is the life we now share." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that, before looking at the lingerie that she was wearing; yet, she was still wearing the robe that he hated. "Can I get this off your arms?" Gabby agreed with Matt as she moved her arms away from his body, giving him the opportunity to take off her little robe so that he can have his hands on her entire body. Throwing it onto the couch that they have on the back porch of their home, Matt smirked as he put his hands on the lingerie that his wife was wearing for him before leaning in and kissing her softly.

At the same time, Gabby closed her eyes as she took tings slow with Matt before whispering to him. "That's all for today, okay baby? I want to rest now, and I just want to take it easy with you. I'll stay in the lingerie, but I'm done with sex for today." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that, completely understanding that she's done with sex. "Hey, of course babe; I don't need to always be all over you. Sure, do I like being all over you all the time? Of course, I do because you're beautiful and very sexy. But I don't need to be all over you, all the time; because I love you, and I want what's best for you and the twins. And if that means calming things down in our sex life, then we can do just that. I want what you want baby, and I want you to have the best pregnancy possible." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt tell her that, because he truly is such an amazing man. Wrapping her arms around his neck again, Gabby smirked as she kissed him nice and slowly.

"And that's what makes you such an amazing husband, you do whatever you can to make sure that you take care of me." Matt smiled as he leaned in, proceeding to kiss his beautiful wife once again; he then took things nice and slow with his beautiful wife. "Listen, do you want me to help? I can go make a salad or something. Maybe I can get you a t-shirt while we eat out here?" Matt smirked as he wrapped his arm around his wife, and just held her close to him. "I love holding you here, and I love the idea of being shirtless; because I know that it teases you more than anything in the entire world, and that's what you do each and every time that you stand close to me. You are just so damn sexy, and this baby bump of yours makes me want to touch you all the time." Gabby smiled, blushing as she heard Matt tell her that; but, at the same time…she knows that they need to relax with each other. "Baby, we need to take it easy with each other and just relax honey."

Matt agreed with Gabby when she told me that. "So, what are we doing? Am I going to put a shirt on?" Gabby bit her lip when Matt asked her if she wanted him to put a shirt on, because she wanted him to stay shirtless. However, she knew that they needed to relax; and that meant that the both of them should rest. "I think that we can just rest in bed and cuddle. I want to share a kiss with my loving husband, but not sex; that's why I decided to wear this tight lingerie, as it was going to make things much harder for us to have sex with each other." Matt agreed with Gabby when she told him that, still hating the fact that she felt like she needed to wear something that made things harder to have sex. "Baby, is there a reason that you want to always have sex? I feel like something's going on." Gabby took a breath. "Matt, this is a new life that we have; this isn't my money though. What if you meet some sociality and…" Matt was shocked. "Hey, look at me Ms. Casey!"

Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her to look at her, staring into his eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Baby, I am your husband for the rest of my life; that's something that you never need to worry about because we're going to be having children together. Baby, I love you; and we are never going to be apart. I love you, so please don't think that I will ever want to be with anybody else. Please baby, promise me that you know that." Gabby took a breath, agreeing with her loving husband when he told her that; wrapping her arms around his neck, Gabby just took things nice and slow with the man of her dreams. The man that she loves more than anything and feels like such an idiot for even thinking this way. "Baby, let's have some lunch; then we can go lay down in bed, we'll hold each other and we can talk okay?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, ready to do just that as she seemed to be quite worried. I mean, she feels like such an idiot too. I mean, why wouldn't Matt still want to be with her just because he has money? That's never going to happen, and she should've known that. God, this is so stupid that she's even thinking this way right now.

His hand was smooth as they sat down on the back porch of their home, the couple having decided to cuddle up to each other on one of their chairs back here so that they can talk. At first, they were going to lay down in bed to talk about this; but they are also going to talk about this here first. More specifically, about the fact that there's never going to be another day where he wants to be with any other woman than her; that's not going to change just due to the fact that he's wealthy, because he doesn't want to change either. Stroking his wife's leg as he kissed her forehead, Matt smiled as he looked down at Gabby before speaking to her. "Listen, I need to talk to you about this okay Gabby?" Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that. "Baby, I am not going to want to be with anybody other than you. I want to be with you because you're my wife. I married you, and I promised to love you until death do us part." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that before sighing.

"Yeah, but that was before you came into…" Matt looked at his wife when she said that once again, not wanting her to think any other way. "I said until death do us part. For richer or for poorer. Gabby, you're the mother of my children; and you're of the love of my life. You helped me get out of the darkest times in my life, Hallie's death. Without you, I wouldn't be the man I am today; and that man is still the man who's that firefighter that you feel in love with. Sure, I inherited this nice place from my father; a home that I never knew about. But baby, this is our home because we needed to get away. I could live in a condo and be happy because I'm your husband. Baby, I left the CFD for you; that was my dream job. I always thought that was my dream job. But it's not my dream job, my dream job is being your husband." Gabby looked up at Matt when he told her that, before feeling him bend down and kiss her softly; taking things slow with his wife, Matt smiled.

"I love you baby, and you're mine for the rest of my life." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling as she cuddled up to each other once again; she then wrapped her arms around his torso, while feeling him move his hand to her back and kiss her forehead softly. Running his hand up and down his wife's back, Matt smiled as he made sure that she knew that she truly was the woman of his dreams. "Do you want to go lay down in bed, and we can just hold each other close? I can promise you to not take off this lingerie, because we've done enough sex." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that. "Good, because I just want to cuddle up to my millionaire husband." Matt laughed when he heard Gabby tell him that, proceeding to kiss the top of her head. "I want to do something with my money though, not just let it sit." Gabby agreed with Matt when her told her that, stroking his chest. "We could always start a business with the money."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, smiling as he really liked that idea. "I like that idea. However, I think right now we need to concentrate on something else." Gabby looked up at Matt when he told her that. "And what might that be?" Matt smiled as he bent down and kissed the woman of his dreams once again. "I want to concentrate on us getting ready to be parents, and I want to make sure that we both just remember that we're going to be parents first; and that's our dream come true after all." Gabby agreed with me, smiling as Matt told her that. Afterwards, Matt kissed her forehead once again. "What do you say we just go relax in bed?" Gabby nodded as she heard Matt ask her to go relax in bed. "And I also want to make sure that you rest as much as possible. If you want me to wear a shirt, then I can. I'm at your service, and always will be at your service." Gabby smiled when she heard Matt say that, agreeing with her husband as she kissed his chest.

Running his hand up and down Gabby's arm as he felt her kiss his chest, Matt smiled as he bent down and kissed the top of her head. God, this is perfect; and he's so happy that this is their life. "You want to go now? Or do you want to just stay here for a while?" Gabby looked up at Matt when he asked her that. "I think that I would like that. I just need to take it easy with my man, and we also need to relax with each other. No sex, no nothing." Matt nodded as Gabby told him that, kissing the top of her head once again. "How about you get up? Then, we can go inside and make our way to bed." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her to get up, before smirking as she went ahead and did it quite sexually for him; and that was definitely something that really teased her husband due to the fact that her body looks incredible in the lingerie that she's wearing. Just shaking his head, Matt proceeded to get up as well so that he could get close to his girl; his beautiful wife.

Stepping close to her, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arms around her this afternoon.

Gabby's POV:
Looking up at Matt as he stepped close to me this afternoon, I smiled as I put my hands on my arms and then just felt like he wanted to kiss me (I mean, of course he wants to kiss me). Matt always wants to kiss me, because he's addicted to kissing me. And the truth was, I was addicted to kissing him as well based solely on the fact that he has such great lips. Moving my hands up his chest, I smirked as I went to wrap my arms around his neck so that he can hold me even closer; but what I didn't expect was that Matt would want to pick me up in his arms, something I didn't want. As much as I trust me husband, I'm starting to get worried about that. "Can you not baby?" Matt looked at me when I asked him that. "Hey, is everything okay?" I took a breath. "I'm just starting to get more nervous about that." Matt agreed with me, seemingly understanding that I was starting to get more and more worried when he picks me up in his arms. "I understand."

Still, I was a bit taken aback when he told me that he understood. Moving my hands to his arms, I looked up at him. "You do?" Matt nodded as I asked him if he really understands. "Of course I understand baby, and I don't want to do anything that will make you worry about how I might drop you. If you're worried about that, then I am not going to pick you up in my arms; rather, we're going to walk up to bed together while holding each other's hands with our fingers intertwined." I smiled when I heard Matt tell me that, before moving close to him and then leaning up to kiss him softly. "Best, and sexiest husband in the entire world." Matt laughed when I told him that. "I mean it baby, I find it very attractive when you're just wearing your boxers." Matt agreed with me as I told him that, grabbing both of our water bottles for us; after which, he grabbed my hand and intertwined our fingers so that we could make our way inside together. "Well, you're sexy too."

I smiled when I heard Matt tell me that I was sexy, because I just loved the way that he told me that. Matt truly is an amazing man, and I love the fact that he's my husband. I then decided to wrap my arms around his bicep as we walked inside together, laying my head down on his arm while stroking it. "So, I'm wearing a shirt inside?" I took a breath. "I will too. Sorry, I want to tease you in this but…" Matt just looked at me as I told him that. "Hey, if you aren't comfortable in this; then I want you to wear what makes you comfortable." I sighed. "I think I want you shirtless though, I changed my mind." Matt shook his head when he told me that. "I'll wear a t-shirt, and you can wear one of my t-shirts. I just want you to be comfortable, and I want you to take a nap if you need to baby; and I mean that from the bottom of my heart." I smiled, agreeing with Matt before going to kiss him softly. Best husband in the entire world. "God, I love you so much."

Matt agreed with me as I told him that I love him so much. "And I love you, which is why I never want you to feel like you're obligated to wear something that you aren't comfortable in baby. If you aren't comfortable in what you're wearing, then you can go right ahead and chance; what matters to me is that you're comfortable in what you wear while you're pregnant with our twins." I smiled, agreed with Matt as he told me that as I am still shocked that I have the honor to call this man my husband. Stepping close to him, I smiled as I put my hand on his abs before leaning up and kissing him softly. "I swear, I am not worthy of having you as my husband." Matt shook his head when I told him that. "Correction, I am not worthy of having you as my wife." Matt then brought my hand to his lips, kissing it as we both continued to make our way inside together. "You want to start shopping for the nursery?" I laughed, smiling at Matt. "Let's wait for the other stuff to get here."

Matt nodded as I told him that I wanted to wait for the other baby stuff, the baby stuff that I already ordered, to arrive at our new home. "Also, I want to talk to you about something. I've been thinking about a way that we might be able to put that money we inherited to use." Matt looked at me when I said that, snickering a bit. "What's so funny baby?" Matt just smiled as we both made our way to our room. "How much do you want to donate?" I was shocked when he assumed that was what I was talking about. "Oh, you thought I was talking about that." Matt just looked at me as I told him that. "Is that not what you're talking about?" I bit my lip. "No, I…" Matt then got close to me, wrapping his arms around me. Afterwards, he leaned in and kissed me softly as he could clearly tell that I was getting a bit tongue-tied. "Baby, breathe for me." I agreed with Matt when he told me to breathe, doing just that for the man I love. "Just relax and look at me."

I nodded, looking up at him. "What's on your mind baby?" I took a breath when Matt asked me what was on my mind at the moment. "I'm thinking about some things. Things that we can do with our money, stuff that I don't just want to let it sit. We want to make it grow." Matt laughed. "Let's take a breath, take it easy…and we can talk about it upstairs in bed okay baby? That's what we need to do right now. We need to get you in bed so that you can relax. We can talk about it there, I promise." I agreed with Matt when he told me that. "Is there any way that we can do it with more clothes on?" Matt looked at me when I said that, smiling at me. "I can wear a shirt, or I can stay in my boxers." I looked at my man when he asked me that, smiling at him. "I think a shirt can work after I take a nap, or before." Matt smiled as we both walked upstairs.

"I don't care what I wear, as long as you're comfortable in my arms; that's the only thing that matters to me." I smiled as I heard Matt tell me that, before wrapping my arms around her. Afterwards, she laid her head down on my arm and just cuddled up to me. "We'll see what I want to do when I'm upstairs. I haven't really figured that out yet." Matt nodded as he looked at me, smiling as he proceeded to kiss the side of my head. Afterwards, he smiled at me. "I think I'll wear my shirt since if I'm shirtless, we'll just have sex." I laughed as I heard Matt tell me that, agreeing with him. "Good, because that's exactly what we both need to do right now; and I need to rest for the sake of our boys." Matt agreed with me, smiling as we both made our way up to our room where I planned on taking a nap in my loving husband's arms.

Matt's POV:
Walking out of my closet wearing a shirt, I smiled as I looked at my beautiful wife as I'm glad that we're going to relax with each other. This is everything that she needs due to the fact that she's pregnant, and I'm positive that she's tired; heck, I know that she's tired because I can see it in her eyes. And I just hate the fact that we've been downstairs longer than we should've been downstairs. We should've came upstairs much sooner so that we can relax with each other, and so that she can take a nap. "We definitely should've made our way upstairs sooner, you look tired as you lay down in bed wearing your shorts and a t-shirt." Gabby took a breath when I told her that, probably feeling bad about this. "Sorry, I decided to change out of the lingerie while I was in the washroom." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smiling at my girl as I made my way over to her; I just wanted to make sure that she didn't feel bad over the fact that she decided to get changed.

Moving to sit down on the bed next to Gabby, I looked at her and smiled as I went to grab her hand. "Hey, just look at me okay?" Gabby nodded as I told her to look at me. "Baby, you can always get changed to be comfortable; because that's the most important thing to me. If you don't feel like wearing lingerie, then you don't need to wear lingerie; I love you because you're sexy, and because you're my girl. I am your husband for the rest of your life. That's just a fact, and I can't wait to meet our children." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, smirking as she looked at me. She then went ahead and put her hand on my neck, leaning in to kiss me at the same time; after which, I decided that I was going to climb in with her so that she could rest. "Want to just kiss until you fall asleep?" Gabby smiled when I asked her that. "Can you stay in this for a while? I think I want to rest here. I really want to start figuring out this new life we have." I agreed with Gabby.

"And I promise that we will baby, we'll figure everything out. Gabby, I promise that we're going to figure this all out; and I'm going to be doing it with you. Please, don't ever feel like you need to not talk to me." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that she can always talk to me, which is something that will always be the truth. "Now listen, what do you say that I join you in bed? Then, you can relax and take it easy with me. And we can both just relax with each other." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she watched me climb into bed with her; after which, she crawled into my arms and smiled as she laid down in my arms right away. Wrapping her arms around my torso, Gabby smiled as she cuddled up to me. At the same time, I grabbed the covers and smiled as I tugged them up on top of the both of them; putting my hand on her back, I smiled as I kissed her forehead softly as we both just held each other close in bed. "Are you feeling okay baby?"

Gabby agreed with me when I asked her. "I am just very comfortable here in your arms, and I will always be comfortable in your arms." I smiled, agreeing with my beautiful wife when she told me that. Running my hand up and down her back, I smiled as I proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. "So, you want to talk? Or do you just want to try and fall asleep?" Gabby took a breath. "I just want to figure out what we can do with the money, the money that I want to use so that we can give back to the world. Heck, we can even do it to help more people." I smirked when Gabby asked me that, proceeding to kiss her forehead softly. "We can start a business." Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "Definitely. But we do it together." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smiling as I kiss her forehead softly. Afterwards, I just looked down at my girl before bending down and proceeding to kiss her softly. Just taking things slow with me, Gabby smiled.

And she smiled the entire time we shared our kiss, until we fell asleep in each other's arms.
