Hi Readers: Sorry for the delay in getting this chapter out to you guys. I got distracted, started to do something else for a bit, and then I went to make myself supper. But now, I'm back and I'm ready to write you this chapter. So, let's get to it.


Chapter One Hundred and Twelve
New Year's Day – Part Six


An Hour Later, 11 AM – Casey Primary Suite
Her best friend ended up falling asleep as they sat in bed together and worked on some designs, which was something that the co-founder of ELLA Apparel hadn't yet noticed; that was, until she felt a tug on the blankets that she was sitting on top of. Turning her head, Stella then took notice that Gabby was asleep; shaking her head, she smiled as her best friend truly looked adorable while she slept. As much as she wanted to work on the clothing line with her, she just had this feeling that this was going to happen. And let's just say that it was quite adorable, she was quite adorable; the way she was sleeping just made her smile. She just looked so peaceful this morning, and she hated the fact that she might have to wake the future mom up when she got up out of her bed. The bed where her and her husband might have had fun in the night before. Then again, she could only assume this based on how tired her friend was. But back to what she's in the midst of doing now.

Quietly getting up out of the bed, Stella smiled as she took one last look at her best friend so that she could let her best friend rest. Grabbing her sketch pad from the bed, Stella was about to walk around the bed so that she could close the blinds until she heard Matt. "Hey, what are you doing?" Turning to look at the man she sees as a brother-in-law, Stella smiled at him before once again turning to look at her best friend. "Uhm." Matt then realized something. "Oh, did she fall asleep?" Stella nodded as Matt asked her whether his wife fell asleep this morning. "How's the incorporation papers going?" Matt snickered. "It didn't take as long as I thought, which is good for you…but not as good for me. I hoped that I would force Kelly to work longer than it took." Stella agreed with Matt when he said that, snickering a bit. "Let me guess, you just wanted to spend a bit of time with Kelly?" Matt smiled, agreeing with the newlywed as she asked him that.

"Yes. But, I can now tell you that your husband is waiting for you in bed." Stella smirked when she heard matt say that, well aware of just what he was trying to tell her. "Ok. Well, I'm going to get out of here, then you can spend some time with her. Just let her rest, and make sure that she takes it easy." Matt agreed with Stella when she said that, smiling as she walked up to him. "Trust me, I'm going to do just that. I know what to do Stella, this isn't the first time." Stella nodded when the CEO said that, smiling as she walked up to him. She then proceeded to hug him, smiling as Matt did the same this morning. "Well, I hope that you can try and get in bed with her without waking her up." Matt agreed with Stella when she said that before a smirk appeared on his face. "Oh, I have my ways." Stella shook her head when she heard Matt say that, really not interested in what those 'ways' were; after all, she thought that they were sexual ways (they aren't just to be clear).

"First of all, I am not talking about sexually. Just take it easy and go see your husband." Stella agreed with Matt, before walking out of the primary suite so that she could give the couple some privacy; privacy that was welcome as Gabby was tired, and she (probably) wanted her husband to join her in bed.. After all, what wife doesn't like to sleep in her husband's arms when she's tired; so, that's exactly what Matt is going to allow her to do. However, he was also going to try and get in bed with her while also trying to keep her asleep. But the truth was, Matt had a feeling that he would end up coming up here to be with her; that's always the case anyways, because he loves spending time with his wife. Now, time to do whatever he needs to do in order to keep his gorgeous wife asleep; however, he couldn't help but take a glance at her first. God, she truly is just the most beautiful woman in the entire world; and that's even more the case when she's pregnant.

And that's something that he's never going to let his wife argue with him about, as he really believes that she's beautiful while she's pregnant; she's the most beautiful thing in the entire world (in his opinion), as it allows him to watch his beautiful wife create their children. The children that they will love more than anything in the entire world, and only grow to love more each and every day. Smiling at his wife, Matt when went ahead and thought about how to get in bed with his girl; and he also tried to figure out what she'd want him to wear right now? Would she want him to stay dressed, or would she want him in his boxers? Then again, she's still dressed, so he might as well stay dressed; that way, he can make sure that she rests. Ok, it's decided. He's going to stay dressed as he gets in bed with his beautiful wife, and just hold her in his arms. Making his way over to Gabby's side of the bed, Matt smiled as he took his phone out of his pocket this morning.

Setting it down on her side table, Matt smiled as he proceeded to take off his sandals while opening the covers to his and Gabby's bed; moving close to his wife, Matt smiled as he laid down in bed with her. After which, Gabby cuddled up to him instinctively (and without skipping a beat) while also moving her head on his chest; which was her way to acknowledge that yes, she knew that Matt was there with her right now. Grabbing the blankets, Matt smiled as he tugged them up on top of the both of them and wrapped his arm around her back. Putting his hand on her stomach, Matt smiled as he kissed his beautiful wife's forehead this morning as he gave her a chance to sleep in his arms. "What are you doing up here? Where's Stella?" Matt smiled as Gabby asked him that, kissing the top of her head once again. "I just came up here to check on my girl and her best friend. Then, I noticed that you fell asleep; so, I decided to send Stella downstairs to be with Kelly."

Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling at him. "Then, I joined you in bed since we already finished the documentation." Smiling when she heard that, Gabby stroked Matt's chest as they held each other close. "Sorry I fell asleep." Matt shook his head when he heard Gabby apologize for falling asleep, not wanting her to apologize when she's tired. "Hey, what did I tell you baby?" Rubbing her back, Matt smiled as he kissed the top of her head once again. "I told you. If you're tired, then you should fall asleep and rest." Gabby agreed with her loving husband when he told her that. "Yeah, I know." Matt then turned his head, kissing her forehead softly. "I just thought that I'd let you know that I already uninvited your brother, and my sister from supper; I actually cancelled it, and we're going to get pizza delivery for lunch. Oh, and we're also going to get Chinese delivery for supper." Gabby smiled when she heard her husband say that this morning.

Running his hand up and down her back, Matt smiled as he kissed the top of her head once again; and let's just say that made Gabby grin because she always loves it when Matt kisses the top of her head, especially when she's cuddling up to her hunk of a husband. "Well, that sounds delicious." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, moving his hand to hers. Putting his hand on top of hers, Matt smiled as he stroked it with his thumb before turning his head; pressing his lips to her forehead, Matt smiled as they held each other close. "So, how much do I have to beg for you to take off your shirt?" Laughing as that question came out of the blue, Matt just smiled and then kissed her forehead softly. "Last time I checked, I'm going to have to go downstairs and get you lunch. However, I promise that I'll get undressed after lunch. Then, we can cuddle up to each other for the rest of the day." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling at the idea of them cuddling in bed.

"I'm glad that's what we're going to do, even though I know that we should be with our friends but…" Matt sighed when he heard Gabby say that. "Honestly, I'm happy that this is what we're going to do too; I was still having some trouble being with Kelly after what he did to the Tesla." Gabby agreed with Matt when he mentioned that, completely understanding why that would be the case. "I get that, but can we not talk about it? I would rather just cuddle up to my hunk of a husband, who just so happens to also be the man I love more than anything in the entire world." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that, running his hand up and down her back while she looked up at him. Afterwards, Matt just smirked as he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly this morning. At the same time, he let Gabby lay her head down on his chest; after all, that was exactly what he wanted right now. He wanted to hold his wife close to him as she rests in his arms right now.

Another thing that he wants right now? He wants Gabby to know that she can always get the rest that she needs right now. "Babe, you know that you can always tell me that you want to sleep in my arms right?" Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling as he told her that; Matt then proceeded to turn his head and kissed her forehead softly. Just holding his girl in his arms, Matt smiled as they just ended up laying there in silence; and the truth was, that was exactly what he wanted to be doing with Gabby right now. However, Gabby felt bad for just lying here in silence. "Sorry I'm just laying down here in silence." Shaking his head, Matt didn't want to hear any apologies from her at the moment. "Hey, don't you dare apologize for just laying down in my arms and resting. If you need to rest, then I'm glad to be holding you in my arms as you sleep." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling as he proceeded to kiss her forehead softly this morning.

"Just curious, have you been tired all day?" Gabby took a breath. "I don't know, but I just felt exhausted today." Matt sighed when he heard his girl say that. Just rubbing Gabby's back, Matt looked down at the woman of his dreams. "Baby, what's wrong? You seem to be off right now." Gabby took a breath when Matt told her that. "I was just exhausted after last night. I woke up in the middle of the night as I heard some fireworks until like 2 am, and they were nice; but you slept right through them." Matt looked down at his wife when she said that, shaking his head before kissing her forehead softly. "You should've woken my up baby." Gabby sighed when she heard Matt say that, before agreeing with him. "I think I would've liked that to tell you the truth, because then we would be tired together." Matt nodded, agreeing with his beautiful wife when she said that; kissing her forehead, Matt just smiled at the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world.

"This is nice you know? Just the two of us holding each other close." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, feeling the same way. "Yeah, I feel the same way; there really is nothing like the two of us holding each other close in bed." Looking around their room, Matt thought about something before blurting it out. "You know, we could always work on the nursery while we're laying down in bed together." Gabby laughed when she heard Matt say that, well aware that was the truth. "Not right now, I just have so much on my mind." Getting a bit worried when he heard that, Matt looked down at Gabby with the hopes of figuring out just what was bothering her right now. "Hey, what's wrong baby? Talk to me and let me know what's going on." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, taking a breath as she looked up at the man she loves. Just staring into his eyes, Gabby smiled at him. "Listen, I think we both know what I want to do right now."

Matt was a bit confused when he heard Gabby say that. "I am not giving you sex." Gabby snickered a bit, before shaking her head. "No, that's not what I'm thinking. I'm thinking about how I'm probably going to fall asleep again, so I need to eat. Can you get up and go get me food? And I don't want to fall asleep with you wearing a shirt, as I would get sweaty." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that, kissing her forehead softly. "Well, we were going to order Pizza Delivery for lunch, and then Chinese Food for supper tonight." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smiling at her loving husband. She then turned her head and smirked as she leaned in, kissing him softly. Taking things slow with Matt, she just smirked at her man. At the same time, Matt smiled. "Listen, I am going to get you food; and then we can relax in bed." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling as that was exactly what she wanted to do with her loving husband today.

"Can we maybe do something before we take a nap though?" Matt looked at Gabby when she asked him that. "What do you want to do?" Gabby smirked when Matt asked her that. "You."
