Chapter Eighty-Three
The Arrival of Kelly & Stella
Casey Estate, Honolulu – The couple were in awe as they pulled up to the Casey Home, looking out of the window as they were both shocked that this was the home that they were going to be staying at during their stay. The home was large, expansive; and it was much bigger than what they expected based on the conversations that the couple had with their best friends since they moved here to Honolulu. It was very large, and it was more like and estate than just a home, which is exactly what Stella decided to say to her host as they pulled up the long driveway that led them up to the home. "So, this is your home; this is your house." Matt agreed with the woman who was sitting in the front seat, smiling. "Yes, this is my home." Stella laughed. "This is more like an estate." Matt agreed with Stella when she mentioned that they live on an estate rather than home. "That's exactly what we live on, an estate." Stella was still a bit shocked when she heard Matt say that.
"Wow, so you guys are really living the high life." Matt agreed with his wife's best friend, smiling as he drove over to his garage before opening it with the remote; making sure that he was in front of the right garage door. Seeing that there were no wheels as the garage door started to come up, Matt was relieved. "Thank god." Kelly was a bit confused when he heard Matt say that. "Okay, why exactly are you relieved about the garage opening?" Matt laughed. "I was just making sure that this was my parking spot, rather than it being Gabby's spot." Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, understanding why that was the case. "Let me guess, your Tesla needs charging?" Matt shook his head. "No, it's because this is the car that we've designated as our emergency car that will take us to the hospital if required. I taught my mother-in-law how to drive it and everything." Stella agreed with the pending father when he said that, well aware that was a possibility right now.
"Now listen, how about we stop talking about cars; I want to go inside and go see my girl." Matt agreed with Stella when she said that, well aware that was the case. Going to grab his keys, Matt smirked as he went ahead and proceeded to put his keys out for Stella to grab. Turning her head, Stella was confused when she saw Matt do that. "Why exactly are you holding your keys out to me?" Matt smiled. "I locked the door when I left to go get you guys, and I highly doubt that Gabby already unlocked the door; well, maybe she did. If she didn't…then you're going to need this to go inside as I want Gabby to rest. If she's in bed…" Stella agreed with Matt when she said that, proceeding to swipe his keys from his hands so that she can make her way inside without Matt having to unlock the door first. But unfortunately, Stella also did something else while she swiped they keys from Matt's hand; she ended up pressing the alarm button that he has on the car remote.
Putting his hands over his ears, Matt sighed before going to grab his keys from Stella's hand. He then went ahead and hit the unlock button so that the alarm could stop, him not wanting to scare Gabby. But unfortunately, that was exactly what happened. Seeing her call, Matt took a breath as he continued to hold the keys in his hand and just went to answer the call on Bluetooth. "Hey babe." Gabby then spoke to him, clearly worried. "Baby, I just heard an alarm outside. Are you…" Matt then went to make sure that she calmed down, by telling her what it was. "Baby, it was just Stella trying to swipe the car keys out of my hands." Gabby just sighed. "Girl, don't scare me like that!" Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that. "Of course, I'm sorry Gabby." Gabby agreed with Stella when she told her that. "I'm upstairs, primary suite drinking my tea." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that. "I'll be right up girl." Gabby loved the sound of that, agreeing with her.
"Baby, put them in the room down the hall please." Gabby then proceeded to hang up, obviously done with speaking to the both of them. "Of course. Now, you go inside and go see my wife. Put the keys down in the bowl next to the door." Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling at him as he went to get out of his car to go inside and see her best friend. At the same time, Matt took a breath as he looked at his best friend. "Wow, that's a lot of sass already." Matt agreed with him when he said that, taking a breath as he went ahead and opened the trunk of his Tesla. "Let's just get out of here, and then we can go inside so that you can say hi to Gabby." Kelly agreed with his host when he said that, smiling at him before going to get out of the car. At the same time, Matt did the same thing so that they could both bring his and Stella's bags into the house now that they're here. And let's just say that they were both very happy to be here right now.
Matt's POV:
Walking into me and Gabby's home shortly after getting all of our friends' bags out of the car, I smiled when I came in to see Gabby hugging Stella and talking to her as if no time has passed. And that truly was something that I loved about our friendship with Kelly and Stella, that time doesn't mean anything to our friendship. Rather, they can just act as if no time has ever passed. "God, I love the fact that you guys decided to come here for Christmas. I know it's far away for you guys, so for you to make the trip is really sweet." I smiled when I heard Gabby say that, having already expected her to be thrilled over the fact that Kelly and Stella were here today. It's exactly what she wanted, and it makes me smile to see her smile like this simply because our friends were here for Christmas. "Girl, I have missed you too…and I really needed to come see this place of yours. You keep describing it to me and I needed to see it in person, so I better get a tour at some point."
Gabby agreed with Stella when she said that, smiling as that was definitely something that she was open to doing for her best friend. "Girl, I can definitely give you a tour. You want to go do it now?" I sighed when Gabby said that, seeing the enthusiasm that Gabby has in her eyes to really take Stella on a tour. However, I don't think that she should do it yet when she needs to rest. "Baby, you need to rest remember?" Gabby just looked at me when I said that, taking a breath. "Baby, I need to also get some exercise." I bit my lip when she said that, knowing that was the case too. "Can you at least do it later? I want you to eat breakfast first. I mean, if you haven't ate breakfast yet." Gabby laughed. "Baby, I've already…" That's when I saw Camila come out of the kitchen with some breakfast. "Gabby, I made you my eggs after hearing you come downstairs. Or would you rather Matt make you breakfast?" I just looked at Gabby when I heard that, smirking at her.
"Well, well, well…I thought somebody said that they already had breakfast this morning?" Gabby sighed when I asked her that, well aware of the fact that she just lied to me. I then turned to look at Camila, smiling at her. "Camila, how about you take Stella and the food to the living room and get it ready? Kelly, please leave those first bags there; and get the rest of your things so that I can take a minute to speak to my wife alone?" Kelly agreed with me when I said that, well aware that I was going to need to talk to Gabby alone right now. So, he set the bags down like I told him to and went back out to my Tesla; at the same time, Camila and Stella made their way to the living room so that Camila could set up the living room for her and Gabby. Afterwards, I walked up to my girl and proceeded to grab her hand. "Baby, what did I tell you?" Gabby sighed when I asked her that, well aware of just what I already spoke to her about a couple times recently.
"I know baby, I'm sorry." I nodded, agreeing with my beautiful wife as she told me that; moving my hand to the side of her face, I proceeded to kiss her forehead softly before pushing her head up to look into her eyes. Smiling at her, I was glad to be home with the woman I love more than anything in the entire world. Afterwards, I bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly. Taking things nice and slow with her, I smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what I want to do right now. I just want to take it easy with my wife, and I want her to take it easy with her best friend; which is exactly what she's going to do. "Baby, remember what we said on the phone?" Gabby agreed with me. "That I would take it easy, and just relax. I already had that quick snack…but now I need a real breakfast like the doctor ordered me to have more often." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smiling as I was glad that we weren't going to have to argue about this now.
"I know that's what I need to do, and I'm sorry." I agreed with my girl when she told me that, smiling as I got close to her and wrapped my arms around her. Wrapping her arms around my back, Gabby smiled as we both held each other close. Afterwards, she looked up at me and smirked due to the fact that this is exactly what we both want to be doing right now. Bending down, I smirked as I went ahead and kissed my beautiful wife softly. "I love you, and I want you to remember that when I tell you this." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, running her hands down my back. "So, I am going to remind you that you need to take it easy and rest for the sake of our twins. And right now, that means that you also need to eat. Today, we're just going to relax and take it easy. You and Stella can relax, and I can hang out with Kelly. But first, you need to eat breakfast in the living room with her. Can you go do that for me?" Gabby agreed with me, smiling as I asked her.
Afterwards, I proceeded to leave a kiss on her forehead softly. "Gabby, I love you and I just want the best for you. And right now, the best is for you to take it easy and relax. So, can you please just do that for me and the sake of the kids. Plus, you had a hard night last night; so I want you to rest and take it easy today. You and Stella can stay in bed for a while and just relax, I promise baby." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she looked at me. Afterwards, I went ahead and kissed her forehead softly. "Okay, now listen…I need to get some more of our friends' things. Can you do me a favor and go sit with Stella? You can take it easy with each other, and she can make sure that you just rest for a while." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, smiling as we are both really happy with each other. "How did I get so lucky when it comes to having such an amazing husband? Oh, and the future father of my children." I smiled when I heard Gabby say that, proceeding to lean in and kiss her softly. Just taking things nice and slow with my gorgeous wife, I smirked as this is exactly what I want to be doing with her right now. I want to share a nice kiss with my wife, and I want her to relax with my best friend. "If you take it easy and relax, then you can do some shopping today." Gabby smirked as she heard me tell her that, glad that was the case. "Oh, that was always going to be the case." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, proceeding to kiss her once again; which is something that I absolutely love to do, especially when we take things nice and slow with each other. "Promise me that you take it easy today baby? It's what you need to do for the kids." Gabby agreed with me.
"How did I get so lucky to have you as my husband?" I smiled when Gabby asked me that. "I'm the lucky one baby. And I mean that. You are the love of my life, and I am so glad that we're married…and that we're still together." Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, smirking due to the fact that this is exactly what she wants to be doing today. She just wants to hold me close for a while, and I'm happy that she wants to do this. "Now, you know that you aren't going to see me shirtless as much right now?" Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, smiling at me. "Nor am I going to be able to relax with you in bed as much." I shook my head when Gabby told me that. "If you aren't feeling good, then we are going to take it easy in bed together. My job as your husband and the future father of the twins, that always comes first. Do you understand?" Gabby agreed with me as I told her that, smirking due to the fact that she is very happy at the moment. And so am I.
Leaning in, we both took things nice and slow with each other once more as we just stood together. "Listen, you need to stop kissing me and go help Kelly outside. And I need to go spend some time with Stella." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smiling at her. "And you will do that, as long as you take it easy with her. Now, I am going to grab the rest of Kelly and Stella's things to take them to their rooms." Gabby smirked when I said that. "Remember what I want to talk to you to Kelly about?" I agreed with Gabby when she told me that. "Tomorrow at the earliest. Right now, it's their first day and we need to relax. And you need to drink a bunch of water, I already told Stella that." That's when I remembered something. "Camila?" Camila then came out of the kitchen. "Yes Matthew?" I smiled at her. "So glad that you were here, thanks by the way." Camila agreed with me. "Of course, it was no problem." I smiled at her when she said that.
"Can you fill three of those bottles of water we have? One for Gabby, and some for our friends?" Camila smiled when I asked her that. "Of course, Matt, I promise. By the way, if you ever hire a chef…then I have a resume ready." Gabby laughed when her mom said that, getting out of my arms. "Mama, you aren't going to need to provide us with a resume if you want a job with us; Matt will hire you. Now listen, you keep going with the bags baby. Oh, and then you and Kelly can go out and run those errands." I sighed when Gabby said that. "Baby, I said that…" Gabby just looked at me. "Matt, my mom, and Stella are here. And you are a call away. My mom said that she needed some things for Christmas dinner since she wants to start cooking. Can you…" I just agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling as she walked away. "Okay." Walking away to the living room, Gabby went to go sit with her best friend. At the same time, Camila went to speak to me.
"Matt, I will give you my credit…" I then went to stop her. "Camila, nonsense. Just like the guest house that you're staying in on the property, you are not paying for food when you are my family." Stella looked at me when I said that. "Your mother-in-law lives here on your property?" I nodded. "I want her close by so that she can help me with the pregnancy. And, if I need to go out, then I had somebody that I trust here to take care of Gabby." Stella was a bit confused when I said that. "Meetings?" I nodded. "Gabby, how about you explain to Stella just what I am talking about?" Gabby agreed with me, smiling as she sat down in our comfortable living room. "I promise baby. Now, go work on getting Kelly and Stella's bags from their car please." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, going ahead with going to get their bags from our car.
Making his way back out to the Tesla, Matt smiled when he saw Kelly standing there, trying to get some more of his bags from the frunk. (Front trunk). To say that he was glad that he had that was an understatement, as it always made things much easier when he needed to get things out of the car (and into the house) much easier. However, the same couldn't be said for his best friend. Rather, it seemed like his best friend was having trouble getting things out of his car. It was taking him much longer than normal, and that must mean that he's struggling. Why he's struggling? He has no clue, as he would think that it'd be easy for him to get things out of the trunk. "You really needed to put things in here?" Laughing when he heard his friend say that, Matt just shook his head. "I had no idea that it was going to be so hard for you to get something out of here when it's very simple. I always put groceries in here." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that.
"That reminds me, we're going to have to do groceries together." Standing up, Kelly was a bit shocked when he heard his best friend tell him that. "You guys still do your own groceries?" Matt agreed with him when his friend asked him whether he still did his own groceries. "Yes, we still do our own groceries. That was something that me and Gabby agreed would never change. We would always continue to do our own groceries, as we want to make sure that we stay as normal as possible." Kelly just snickered when he heard his best friend say that, looking around his home. "Yeah, as normal as possible; because all of this is normal." The lieutenant said, looking at the house that his friend and his wife now inhabited. "Kelly, don't think that we can't also be normal at the same time; we're still your best friends." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that, well aware that was the case. He has always been there for him, and there's nothing better than that.
Matt then smiled as he continued to make his way over to his Tesla so that he could make sure that he grabbed all of his friends' things today. "So, are you going to just let us do our own things? Or are we going to be hanging out today." Matt smirked when he heard his friend ask him that. "I'm leaving that up to you. If Gabby says that I can go places, I would love to take you surfing so that we can just relax elsewhere." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that, smiling as he looked at him. "I'd like that I think." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that, smiling as he continued to grab the rest of the bags from his Tesla. "Okay, so now that we have everything…let's get inside so that we can go see your room." Kelly agreed with his host when he said that, smiling as he went to walk ahead of him. At the same time, Matt closed up the Tesla and started to make his way back into his home where he was going to show Kelly into his and Stella's room.
Kelly's POV:
As I walked into the home that Matt shares with Gabby this morning, I smiled as this was a really nice place. And the truth was, I'm really glad that my friend is so happy here. Sure, I may not be the happiest that I don't get to see him every day, but I am still happy for him. That's all I want for him, along with Gabby; and I can see that he's much happier here, than he's ever been in Chicago. And I honestly don't think that it has anything to do with the money that he recently inherited. Rather, I think it's due to the fact that he's just genuinely happy to be here with his wife as they start a new chapter. "So, you guys are really happy here I can tell." Matt agreed with me when I said that, smiling as we made our way into his home while we prepared to find me and Stella's room. "Yeah, we definitely are. This place is the perfect spot to start our family." I agreed with him when he told me that. "Still don't get why you couldn't do that in Chicago." Matt took a breath.
"There's a lot of baggage there, and me and Gabby just aren't comfortable with starting a new chapter in our life with all that baggage." I agreed with Matt when he told me that, well aware of just what baggage he's talking about. And honestly, I would never blame the man for wanting to start anew somewhere other than in Chicago. "So, that's why you decided to move all the way over here." Matt agreed with me as I told him that, smiling as that was the case. "The truth is, we just needed this. And we thought that we could stay in Chicago, but we can't as we just need to take it easy here in Hawaii." I agreed with him when he told me that, just wanting what was best for both my best friend and his wife. I then went ahead and walked in to see Gabby and Stella laughing. "Oh god, you're kidding me. Cruz fell on his face at the bar while trying to impress Chloe?" Stella agreed with her when she said that. "Yeah, it was hilarious." I thought about the time and agreed.
"Oh, that time was priceless." Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she looked at me. She then decided to get up and came to walk over to me. "Damn, talk about baby bump." Gabby laughed as she put her hands on her stomach. Afterwards, she came to walk over to me so that she could give me a hug. "I hope that you can set those bags down." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, going ahead with setting the bags I had in my hands down. Afterwards, Gabby walked up to me and just smiled as she came to hug me. "How are you?" I smiled when Gabby asked me that. "I'm doing much better." Gabby agreed with me when I said that, rubbing my back as we both just held each other. "I'm glad that's the case, because I know that you've been taking this hard." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that, smiling at her. "Yeah." Gabby then went to grab my hand. "I hope you know that you can always call us." I agreed with Gabby smiling at her.
"I know I can, and I am so glad that's the case." Gabby agreed with me, just smirking as she proceeded to look at me. Afterwards, she gave me one last hug. At the same time, Gabby put her hand on Matt's arm while rubbing it. "We can give them a tour as they stay. Right now, I just want to relax with Stella." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, smiling as he proceeded to get close to her. Afterwards, he went ahead and wrapped his arm around her before kissing her softly. "Me and Kelly are going to go run some errands after this." I looked at Matt when he said that. "We are?" Matt just looked at me. "I have to go get groceries for Christmas dinner, and you're going to join me before I know you're going to want to take a nap. Get a bit more energy out." I agreed with Matt when he told me that. "More like Gabby wants a nap."
Gabby's POV:
As I looked at Kelly when he mentioned that I will want to take a nap later, I just smiled. "Yes, I am going to want to take a nap later. And I love taking a nap with my husband, which is something that you're not going to stop me from doing." Kelly just gulped when I said that, well aware that he isn't really to question me. That, and he's also quite scared of me; and that's even the case when I'm pregnant. Well, not just me of course; he's also scared of Matt, as he doesn't want to make me mad. That will also mean that he'll be mad at him and then he'll hear it from Matt. That's when Matt looked at me. "Baby, you need to take it easy and just breathe. Remember that I got everything under control, and that me and Kelly have a bunch of time to do things. I may even take him surfing." I then looked at Kelly. "Does he even want to go surfing?" Kelly smiled when I asked him that. "I'd be interested." I nodded, agreeing with Kelly when he said that.
"Well, I'm glad that you guys are going to go have fun together. Right now, just get them set up okay baby?" Matt agreed with me as I said that, smiling at me. "I'll let you know before we go if you want to join us." I agreed with Matt when he told me that, smiling as I put my hand on his face before he walked away with Kelly so that he can go put Kelly and Stella's things down. Afterwards, I turned around and looked at Stella while she was eyeing my food. "I swear, if you touch my food; I am not going to be a very happy woman." Stella laughed when I said that. "Let me guess, you're hungry?" I nodded, agreeing with my friend when she told me that, smirking as I was definitely quite hungry right now. "Yeah, I am quite hungry. I mean, I am pregnant with twins." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she was really happy right now. "Are you guys ready to have twins?" I agreed with Stella when she asked me that, smirking as that was just the truth. God, I am so ready.
"I'm definitely ready to be a mom as I have wanted to be a mom for years, and Matt's wanted to be a dad for years. So, for us to be having twins is great." Stella smiled when I said that, watching as I walked over to her. Afterwards, I proceeded to make my way over to the couch and just sat back down. Afterwards, I looked at my girl while I put my hands on my stomach. "So, are you ever going to share what's the gender of the kids that you and Matt are going to have? Or are you going to be keeping that a secret?" I laughed when Stella asked me that, well aware that she was really interested in knowing the gender of our children. The truth was, I am really ready to tell her what we're having; but I am just not sure if we're telling people. "I have to talk to Matt first." Stella just looked at me when I said that. "God, you guys know the gender." I agreed with Stella when she asked me that, smiling at my girl. "I mean, of course we do girl."
Going to sit on the couch, I smiled as I got comfortable and then went to grab the tea that was on my side table. Going to take a sip, I smiled as this is perfect; and I truly have the best friends to have decided to come join me. "Are you going to share?" I laughed when Stella asked me that, really wanting to tell her the gender of our kids. However, I am not sure what Matt wants to do. "I am just not sure if Matt wants to tell me. Girl, I really…" That's when I heard Matt yell. "Just tell her Gabby!" I laughed when I heard Matt say that, obviously well aware that we were currently talking about that. "Thanks baby!" Matt agreed with me as I said that, going to walk away. Afterwards, I looked at Stella and smiled at my best friend. "We're having twin boys." Stella smiled when I said that. "Aw, that's going to be adorable. They are probably going to look so much like Matt." I agreed with Stella when she told me that, smiling at my best friend. "I think so too."
Stella just agreed with me when I said that, smiling at me. "Oh, I can't wait to see you guys have kids; I know that you are going to be such great parents." I took a breath when I heard Stella tell me that. "I just hate that you're not going to see them every day." Stella agreed with me, taking a breath. "Hey, don't even worry about that Gabby. This is the life that you and Matt need to live with each other, and I think that you guys are having a bunch of fun." I took a breath when Stella said that. "Yeah, we just had a bunch of drama there; and we have so many bad memories there, both from our marriage and all the deaths that we've experienced there. I think it was really hurting is more than we really wanted to admit to ourselves." Stella agreed with me as I said that, well aware that was the case. And I think that she could tell that it was really starting to bother me. "Yeah, I can see that. Probably didn't help your marriage either." I sighed, shaking my head.
"No, it wasn't." Stella just looked at me. "I hate that you felt like you couldn't talk to me thought girl. And what Brett did to you, that was just horrible; sorry to bring it up because I shouldn't." I agreed with Stella when she told me that, nodding. "Then you don't bring it up. I'm just happy that you're here though." Stella agreed with me, smiling as I said that. "So, Matt says that you're staying in bed a lot." I laughed when Stella mentioned that because that was the truth. "Oh god, tell me about it. I know exactly what Matt is trying to say, because I am definitely having a nice time in bed with him." Stella smirked when I said that. "You're having a bunch of fun aren't you?" I smirked, agreeing with Stella when she told me that; well aware of what she was trying to say at the moment, because I was thinking about it as well right now.
"But I've just been under the weather right now, feeling like crap and…." Stella then finished my thought. "Been on a Hallmark binge?" I just looked at her when she said that. "Let me guess, Matt already spoke to you guys about that?" Stella nodded when I asked her whether Matt spoke to them about that, which he did. "Yeah, he did talk to us about it. But he said that he's loving the experience." I then decided to say something loud (intentionally). "He better enjoy it, because if he doesn't…then I might stop wearing lingerie for him!" Matt heard that and got nervous. "I love you Gabby." I just shook my head when he said that. "Yeah, yeah." Stella laughed when I said that, smiling at me. "God, I swear; you guys really are adorable." I agreed with Stella when she said that, smiling at me. "Yeah, we are adorable." Stella just smiled at me.
"And you guys are never moving back to Chicago?" I laughed when she asked me that. "Yeah, and back to the cold winters? Please, I am never moving back to Chicago." Stella agreed with me when I said that. "I bet that's one of the benefits of living here in Hawaii, the warm weather." I smiled at her. "Oh, it's more like a double edge sword of course. I'm sure that Matt already told you all about that though." Stella nodded when I asked her that. "Oh yes he did, he also told me that I have a job to make sure that you stay hydrated." I smiled when I heard Stella say that, well aware that's something that Matt would do. Then again, I wouldn't have it any other way as I love my husband more than anything in the entire world. "I swear, that's just something I love about my husband. He has the biggest heart in the entire world, and I just feel so damn lucky about him being my man." Stella agreed with me when I said that. "I swear, he needs to teach Kelly a thing or two."
I snickered when I heard Stella say that, well aware that was the case for her. "Do you think that you guys are headed for the altar?" Stella shrugged when I asked her that, not sure yet. "I am not sure to tell you the truth. But I just know that I'm glad that we're here with you guys right now. It's a great day, and I am so glad that we're here now. But seriously, you look great and it seems that you are very well rested for a pending mother." I agreed with Stella when she told me that, smirking as that was definitely the case for me. "Yeah, I am feeling great; and I am so glad that I just have you guys here now. I have been missing you, and I can't wait to just have fun with you guys while you stay." Stella smirked when I said that. "Matt already promised that we're going to have access to his credit card so that we can do some shopping together." I smirked when I heard Stella say that, loving the sound of us having access to the credit card to do some shopping.
"I swear, that husband of mine is really earning me later." Stella laughed as I said that, agreeing with me. "He says you've been feeling like crap though. I'm sorry about that girl." I sighed when Stella brought up the fact that I've been feeling like crap. "Hey, where's your head going girl? Talk to me."
Her best friend told her to talk to her. She wanted to do everything that she could to help, that was why she was here. And Stella could just tell that there was really something on her mind right now, which was why she wanted Gabby to speak to her. She didn't want her to hold it in, as she knew that would just cause he problems; and it would also cause her to be in trouble with Matt, as he would not be happy if one of their conversations led to Gabby being a bit sad or something. She needs to take it easy, and they both already know that's the case. So, she's trying to make sure that she does everything she can to make sure that she relaxes. That's when Gabby decided to speak up to Stella. "I just hate how I'm feeling like this all the time. I want to enjoy this pregnancy that I have always wanted. I want Matt to enjoy this pregnancy that we have both always wanted. Yet, we're not doing that as I'm feeling like crap right now; and I hate it more than anything."
Stella could see the pain in the future mother's voice as she just knew that this was really hard for her. It was hard for her to feel horrible like this, and she just didn't want her friend to feel this way. "Are you sure that you're really up for company girl? If you aren't up for this then…" Gabby just looked at her best friend when she tried to say what she think she's trying to say, not wanting her to think at all that she wasn't happy to have her here right now; because it was the complete opposite. She was thrilled to have her best friend here with her, as she's missed her like crazy. "Hey, don't you dare think that I don't want you here. Girl, I have missed you like crazy…and I have wanted to spend time with you like this for a while. I promise that will always be the case." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that, well aware that she was not going to be able to change her friend's mind about that case. She was going to want her here for as long as she can.
Just taking a breath, Gabby made sure to relax while she also took a sip of her water. "Listen, do you want me to go tell your mom that you need something to eat?" Gabby took a breath when Stella asked her that, thinking that it was a good idea. "Do you mind?" Stella shook her head when Gabby asked her if she minded going to tell her mom that she needs to eat. "Hey, of course not girl. I'll be right back okay?" Gabby agreed with Stella when she said that, watching her get up to go.
Stella's POV:
As I got up so that I could make my way to Matt and Gabby's kitchen, I took a breath as I just knew that Gabby was tired. I could hear it in her voice, and it just pains me that she was tired like this. Maybe us coming wasn't the best idea. Then again, it could also be a great idea. I am just not sure right now; and I am really just trying to figure everything out. I don't want her to be hurt, but I also don't want her to feel like she has to keep us here. If she's not feeling good, then she shouldn't have to stay here. Right now, she just needs to take it easy and relax for the entire time that we're here.
