Chapter One Hundred and Eleven
New Year's Day – Part Five
Shortly after having the breakfast prepared for them by his mother-in-law, Matt Casey smiled as he looked at his wife one last time after he made his way back over to her with the water bottle that he just filled up to her. While she hadn't gone upstairs yet, she was standing; and that made the husband believe that she and her best friend were now on their way upstairs so that they could work on their fashion life together, not that he was complaining. If this was going to make his wife happy, then he wanted her to go design to her heart's content; anyways, he has other things to do. However, that didn't mean that he wasn't going to be worried for his pregnant wife; which was something that he was making clear to both her, as well as her best friend (who was going to be taking care of her) while he works with her husband in his office. Just stepping close to Gabby, Matt smiled as he put his hands on her stomach and just held her close to his chest.
Looking up into her loving husband's eyes, Gabby smiled as she wrapped her arms around him and held her loving husband close to her; which was something that her best friend was doing as well, her seemingly addicted to him ever since they got married. But she was happy for her friend, as she knows that they are both madly in love with each other. Stepping close to Matt, Gabby smiled as she laid her head down on his chest and just smiled at Stella. "So, how long are we both just going to stand here with our husbands? Stand here with them as they wrap their arms around us?" Stella laughed when Gabby asked her that, well aware of the fact that she wanted to go upstairs with her right now. She can just see what's going on in her best friend's eyes, and that's the start of her urge to create. The urge for her to work on the designs that they plan on making for their clothing company, ELLA Apparel. God, she still loves the name that they chose; and she's excited.
Looking down at Gabby, Matt smiled as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly. "Listen, as much as I want to keep holding you; I think that both of our friends want us to let each other go, and they want to go our separate ways. Kelly wants to go work in the office, and Stella wants to go 'design' with you." Stella looked at the future CEO when he said 'designs' in a way that made her believe that was not ALL she wants to do with her best friend, which technically was the truth. "I mean, don't tell me that you and Gabby aren't going to shop a bit too for the babies." Gabby smiled when Matt said that, well aware that she and Stella were definitely going to do that. She just knew that she wasn't going to be able to resist wanting to shop for the twins as well. I mean, they both want to get things for their twins. Just looking at his wife, Matt smiled as he pressed a kiss on her forehead softly. "Listen, I am going to let you go before I get too addicted to be sharing some kisses with you."
Kelly laughed when he heard his best friend say that. "Get too addicted? I think you're already a bit too addicted my friend." Turning his head, Matt looked at his best friend. "Well, I think that's our cue to leave. We need to go get to work before we both want to take out wives to bed, especially me with my hormonal pregnant wife." Gabby shook her head when Matt said that, starting to pull away from him. "I think it's more my husband who's the hormonal one." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling as he grabbed her hand. "Listen, promise me that you take it easy today? Just relax, and make sure that you concentrate on taking it easy. That's what you want to do today, as you shop for the twins." Gabby agreed with her loving husband when he said that, smiling at him. That's when she turned to look at her best friend. "Sorry Kelly, but I think it's time for me to steal your wife from you so that we can go get to work." Stella agreed with Gabby, smiling at her friend.
"Let's get out of here girl, I want to get to work with you so that you can relax too. I promise Matt, I'm going to make sure that your wife takes it easy. I know that's something that you're always worried about." Matt agreed with Stella as she said that, agreeing with her as he gave her a nice smile. "Thanks Stella. We'll talk sometime soon. Now listen, how about you go have fun. Meanwhile, me and Kelly are going to get to work in my office." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that. "Remember what I said, you can always call me if you need me." Gabby nodded as she heard Matt say that, smiling at him. "I promise, I'll call you if I need you. Just go take care of the corporate stuff." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, turning to look at his best friend. Getting close to him, Matt smiled as he put his hand on her back and let him away so that they can make their way to his home office together. "You're going to enjoy this punishment, aren't you?"
Turning his head to look at his best friend, Matt laughed when he heard Kelly say that. "I hope you know that we're not just finishing up the incorporation plans, we're also going to do some basics. The girls already have their business plans, I want to work on ours. We need to know what we're going to do." Kelly laughed as he heard his CEO say that. "I thought that was your job." Matt nodded. "I know, but I want to do it with your help since you need to know too; then you don't always have to talk. However, that doesn't mean that we aren't going to talk about my Tesla." Kelly gulped when he heard his friend (and CEO) say that, well aware that he's still mad at him over what he did to his Tesla. "Did you really think that me sharing a kiss with my wife will make me forget what you did to my car?" Kelly agreed with his CEO when he said that, well aware that was not going to be the truth; I mean, this is his best friend after all. So, he's ready to get yelled at by Matt today.
Walking into his office this morning, Matt Casey took a breath as he just tried to calm himself down a bit as he didn't want to scare his best friend. He didn't want to make him feel too scared, but he did need him to know that this was still a serious thing. That was his car, and he really didn't have any right to drive it; especially not when he wanted to drive it with his kids first. Yet, he already yelled him; so maybe they can just talk about it first. Walking over to the desk that he has in here, Matt proceeded to take his phone out of his pocket and then set it down on his desk. At the same time, Kelly carried his laptop in and looked at the other desk that they have in the office. "Do you mind if I sit at this desk?" Looking up at his friend, Matt agreed with him. "Here's an HDMI port on the desk if you want to use the second screen. I like using it so that I can have my e-mails and stuff on it. I have worked on these computers before after all." Kelly sighed, agreeing with his friend.
At the same time, Matt opened his laptop to turn it on; however, it wasn't long after he did that before Kelly spoke to him. "Can we just get the conversation that we're going to have over with? I know that you're mad at me, and I just want to talk about it." Turning his head to look at his best friend, Matt just looked at him and then put his hand on his chin. "God, I have no idea where too start man. I mean, we're talking about my car man; the car that I bought myself. Why in the world did you do it?" Kelly took a breath when Matt asked him that, not sure. "I just wanted something to drive my wife in, I guess I didn't think about it. It's easier to drive, and I thought I was doing fine…until I heard the scratch." Matt just looked at him when he said that. "You heard the scratch, and you still kept driving?" Kelly took a breath. "I wanted to just get the car home before I did anymore damage to the car, and before you really noticed." Matt shook his head when Kelly said that.
"Kelly, I bought those cars for me and Gabby as anniversary gifts to each other." Kelly was shocked when he heard Matt say that it was an anniversary gift. "Hold on a second, that was an anniversary gift. That's really expensive man." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that, agreeing with him. "Yeah, I know that it's really expensive. Last time, I was the one who bought the cars." Kelly agreed with his boss when he said that, leaning back in the chair that he was sitting in as he was quite comfortable in said chair. "But still, I like the car; and I was just glad that we had it." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that, going ahead with turning on his laptop too before he plugged in the HDMI cable in so that he can use a second screen. "By the way, I just thought of something. What are we doing for e-mails? Do I need to create one for work?" Matt shook his head. "Nope, that's already going to be done in a moment. I am actually about to do that. It's why we're here."
Kelly was confused when he heard Matt say that. "What do you mean?" Matt smiled. "I looked this up last night after Gabby went to bed, and before I went to bed. So, I already started to set it up…and I have yet to figure it out. That reminds me, I need to ask them something." Going to grab his phone, Matt picked it up so that he could text his wife. 'I am going to set up e-mails. Website is . Do you want gcasey or gdawson? Does Stella want skidd or sseveride?' Setting his phone down, Matt smiled. "So listen, I already had some ideas for two places that we can start." Kelly looked at his best friend when he said that. "And what would that be?" Matt smiled. "Casey Fire and Police. We can do apparel, tools and training. Maybe I might even expand into vehicles someday." Kelly was shocked when he heard his best friend say that. "Really?" Matt agreed with his best friend when he said that, smiling at him. "I know, I have a lot of ideas now."
Kelly agreed with him when he said that. That's when Matt saw that his phone was flashing, which prompted him to grab it. Picking it up, he saw that Gabby just texted him back. 'I want gcasey. Stella wants skidd." Matt agreed. "Seems like your wife wants to use her maiden name doing business." Kelly just looked at his best friend. "Excuse me?" That's when Kelly got a text, which led him to grab his phone. 'I'm going by Stella Kidd for work. Don't question it. XO.' Kelly then sighed, turning to look at his best friend. "Let me guess, that was your wife telling you that she's using her maiden name for work?" Kelly sighed when he heard Matt say that, hating that he already know what was going on in his mind at the moment. "God, you are so good at reading me." Matt smirked when he heard his best friend say that this morning. At the same time, Matt got a text from his niece Violet. 'Happy New Year Uncle Matt.' Smiling when he saw that, Matt then texted her back.
'Happy new year Violet. Already missing you here in Honolulu. XO' Kelly then looked at his best friend. "What's with all the texting?" Matt smiled. "Niece just texted me happy new year." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that. "Which niece?" Matt smiled. "The heiress." Kelly just laughed when his best friend say that, loving what he just said. "God, that was funny." Matt agreed with him when he said that, smiling at him. "So, if we're starting a business…what are we thinking of doing?" Matt then proceeded to set his phone down, going to grab his laptop. Afterwards, he proceeded to make his way to a website maker that he already started last night. "So listen, I'm not saying that I have a website set up; but I think I an already create the e-mails." Kelly agreed with his best friend when he said that. "How about we just start with that?" Matt agreed with him when he said that, proceeding to do just that this morning so that they can get their e-mails set up.
15 minutes later, when the e-mails are created:
Having just finished setting up their e-mails, Matt smiled as he went to write down some passwords for his friends and wife. Getting up, Matt proceeded to walk over to Kelly. "Here, this is your e-mail and temporary password that I just created. We can work on the website another time, but I was able to get these quickly." Kelly was shocked when his best friend said that, looking at him. "That was fast, how was that possible?" Matt smirked. "I wanted to get it done fast so that we can share documents easily. Also, we can do communications on these rather than through our personal e-mails. From now on, anything that's related to the business will be done through this e-mail." Kelly agreed with Matt when he said that. "Tell Stella hi for me if you're going upstairs." Matt agreed with Kelly when he said that. "While I'm gone, I want you to think of things that we can make or do on the fire front. We're going to do products." Kelly agreed with Matt, smirking.
"Ok. Wait, want me to reach out to Cruz and Otis to see whether we can make a deal with them? For their uhm…" Matt just looked at his best friend when he said that, snapping his fingers. "Yes, I want to get a deal with the Slamigan. Either we can share it, or we can get exclusive rights to sell it. Tell them that we need to talk about that, and we can do a call with them." Kelly smirked when he heard Matt say that. "I love that idea, take what one of my men created." Matt then looked at his friend. "Technically, it was one of my men first. Cruz was mine first, and you stole him from me." Kelly snickered when he heard that. "Dude, he was the one who decided to get his squad license." Matt agreed with his best friend when he said that, before making his way out of his office so that he can go see Gabby and Stella in bed and give them their e-mails.
After making his way upstairs to his and Gabby's room, Matt smiled as he walked in to heard Gabby laughing with Stella a bit. "God, that would be hilarious. But no, we are definitely not creating our own version of a speedo." Stella laughed. "Oh, I am pretty sure that you'd like to see Matt in one." Walking in, Matt just shook his head. "I refuse to ever be caught in a Speedo for what it's worth." Turning her head, Gabby smiled as she looked at her husband. "Hey, what are you doing up here?" Matt then smirked as he made his way over to his wife, ready to give her the e-mail that she needs for her work. "Well, you remember the whole thing about the e-mails that I wanted you guys to know about?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he asked her that, smiling at him; afterwards, Matt walked up to her and proceeded to give her the piece of paper with her e-mail and password on it. "Here, this is your e-mail that you can use for work. I already created it."
Gabby smiled when she heard Matt tell her that, looking up at her amazing husband. At the same time, Matt went to give Stella her e-mail. "And this is your e-mail that you can use for work. That's why I texted you remember?" Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she was glad that he did that for her. "What did Kelly think about the name that I chose?" Matt laughed. "He knows not to argue with his wife. But listen, I just wanted to run something past you. Me and Kelly were thinking about talking to Cruz and Otis. See if they want to get a deal with Slamigan. We can own part of it, and create it for them." Gabby smiled as she heard Matt say that, really liking that idea. "Now, there's my extremely smart husband doing his thing." Matt agreed with Gabby as she said that, proceeding to bend down and kiss her softly. Just taking things slow with her, Matt smirked as he's very happy with this gorgeous woman. "God, I love you so much."
Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, leaning her forehead against his. "Did you already talk to Kelly about…" Matt agreed with his wife when she asked him if he already spoke to Kelly about the whole Tesla situation, which he did. "I already did, I promise. Just take it easy up here. Now, I am going to go back down and work on the incorporation documentation. Maybe you girls can relax and just take it easy?" Stella smiled at Matt when he said that. "We were actually going to work on designs." Matt agreed with Stella when she said that, liking that idea. "Yeah, I like that idea. But listen, I am going to go back downstairs and keep working with your husband. I'll talk to you later." Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as she watched her best friend's husband (and her husband's best friend) walk away so that he can get back to work for a while. At the same time, she turned to look at her best friend; the woman who's madly in love.
"So, how long do you think that we're going to be working today? Or are we going to be working only until you get hormonal, and you want your husband in bed?" Gabby smiled when Stella asked her that. "I mean, that might happen; but I'm not sure what we're going to do." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that, well aware that her best friend is madly in love with her husband. "I know that you're madly in love with your husband, so I'm not going to complain if you want to be with your husband at some point." Gabby took a breath when Stella said that. "I think he's just doing this to punish Kelly for a while, but he's not going to be able to do it for too long; because I know that he's going to want to come up here and be with me eventually." Stella smirked. "More like with you under the sheets, since I know you guys didn't do shit last night." Gabby sighed when Stella said that because they didn't. "Yeah, I was exhausted." Stella agreed with Gabby.
"Hey, I'm sure that Matt understood?" Gabby agreed with Stella when she said that. "He did. But I am just hormonal. Heck, I am starting to wonder whether we should delay our supper with Antonio." That's when Gabby heard Matt. "Baby, if you want to do that; go ahead, I actually like the idea." Gabby laughed as she heard Matt say that, just knowing that he'd hear her say that. "Of course, you'd hear me say that." Matt agreed with his wife when she said that, smiling as he went back downstairs. At the same time, Gabby turned her head to look at Stella. "Matt, I think I'll delay it okay?" Matt agreed. "Call them for me then." Gabby agreed with Matt, proceeding to grab her phone so that she can do just that. "Do you mind?" Stella shook her head when Gabby asked her that, letting her make the call. "Just tell him that you didn't sleep well, because I know that you guys didn't." Gabby agreed with her best friend when she said that, doing just that.
Gabby's POV:
Once I finished speaking to my brother, along with Matt's sister; I took a breath because I was just glad that they understood that we might need a bit more time alone before we can see them, and now I just had to tell my mom…and that was why I called her upstairs. Little did I know, that Matt already told her. Walking into my room, my mom smiled. "Gabby if you're going to tell me that you cancelled Antonio, then I already know." I was a bit shocked when I heard her say that, unaware of how she knew that. "How'd you…" My mom just smiled at me. "Matt told me on his way down." I smiled, agreeing with my mom when she said that, glad that Matt did that. "I swear, I love that man more than anything in the entire world." My mom agreed with me as I said that, smiling at me. "I can tell. Now, do you girls need anything?" I shook my head. "No, we're good mom." My mom smiled. "Good, then I'm going to relax for a while." I smiled.
"That sounds nice. Have a good rest mom." She agreed with me, smiling as she walked away to go to her place. At the same time, Stella turned to look at me. "You seem happy that you aren't going to have to deal with your brother today." I laughed when Stella asked me that. "Trust me, there's already enough drama around here as it is." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling at me; after all, they did create some drama for us. "I still feel like an idiot for doing what I did to you girl." I agreed with Stella when she said that, smiling at her. "Just relax and take it easy girl." Stella nodded when I said that, smiling as she laid back against Matt's pillow. "What do you say we get to work on our designs?" I agreed with her, reaching into my side table to show her what I've already got. "OK. So I did this before you joined, but I want your opinion on them." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she went to grab the pad of paper so that she can look at the designs.
Opening the pad, Stella went to flip them over and just smiled. "This one of your baby designs?" I agreed with her when she asked me that, smiling. "Yeah. If you look at the flags though, there are some Puerto Rico and American flags." Stella smiled when I said that, well aware that I miss that place. "Do you think that you're going to go back someday?" I shook my head. "No, this is home now." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling as I said that. "I am so glad that we're living here together. I am so glad that we live here with you." I nodded, agreeing with my best friend as she told me that. "I'm glad that you're here too. Just keep your husband on a tighter leach." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling as she turned her head. At the same time, I put my hand on my stomach and just smiled as I felt the babies moving. It wasn't like kicking thought, as it was more like flutters. Just looking at me, Stella smiled as she knew I was feeling something with the babies.
"Are the babies okay?" I nodded, agreeing with my best friend when she asked me whether the babies are okay. "Yeah, they are. I just like the feeling when they move in my stomach, it's not kicking yet; but I can really feel it in there, and I just love it." Stella agreed with me as I said that, smiling at me. "Better that your first time around?" I agreed with her, smiling as she told me that. "Can't wait to meet them. They are going to be the best boys in the entire world." Stella laughed when I said that. "Just remember who their father is." I agreed with Stella when she told me that, smiling at her. "Oh, I am well aware that my loving husband is their father. And the truth is, I like spending time with him." Stella smiled when I said that. "How much time are we really going to work on this today?" I sighed. "I think we're just going to do like an hour. Then we go our separate ways and just figure it out. Not sure." Stella agreed with me, smiling. "Hey, whatever you guys want."
I smiled when my best friend said that, grabbing her hand as we both relaxed on my bed this morning. "Listen, let's just look at possible design inspirations; then we can see what happens. But if I want time with my husband today, no complains." Stella agreed with me when I said that, smiling as we both went to grab our iPads so that we could work on getting some inspirations for our designs.
