Chapter One Hundred and Thirty
Valentine's Day – Part Three

"You're conflicted on what to tell me when it comes to whether I did the right thing or not; aren't you?" -Matt Casey

The room went silent for a bit, as Gabby needed to think about how she can answer this question to the best of her abilities; more specifically, so that she doesn't hurt her husband's feelings. But the truth was, there was no reason for her to have to worry about hurting his feelings; especially since they understand each other so well, and they just have such great conversation skills now. So, Gabby is just going to tell her husband the truth as to what she thinks. "I think that you did the right thing, because she deserved to know what her sons were thinking; sure, it might've been better for them to tell her themselves. However, I can see that they were worried based on how you're describing things; and that means that you needed to just tell her what her sons were thinking, because that's your job as their godfather/surrogate father figure."

Matt smiled when he heard Gabby say that, before feeling her slip over in bed some more. "Do you want me to slip down in bed some more? Then we can cuddle up to each other a bit easier?" Gabby laughed when Matt asked her whether she wants him to slip down in bed, which was exactly what she wanted him to do; as she just wanted to have him hold her in bed today, all day until they fall asleep in each other's arms (with the exception of when Matt has to get her food). And the truth was, Matt loved that idea just as much as his wife; as it was what he wanted to do with her as well, as he loves holding her in his arms. Gabby is just the most beautiful woman in the entire world, and he is so proud of the fact that he has such a gorgeous wife to spend today with. "You want to lay down on my chest, in between my legs today?" Gabby smirked at him.

"I think that's more what YOU want me to do, rather than what I want to do; I mean, that will allow you to put your hand on my stomach much easier." Matt laughed as he heard Gabby say that, as that was the truth; he wanted to put his hand on Gabby's stomach, and he wanted to cuddle up to her today. I mean, what husband isn't going to want to cuddle up to his wife on Valentine's Day? Just crawling over to her husband, Gabby smirked as she went ahead and laid down in her loving husband's arms. Grabbing the covers, Matt proceeded to tug them up on top of the both of them; after which, he wrapped his legs around hers and put his hand on her stomach. And that feeling that she was having right now, the feeling of love from her husband; it was everything that she wanted to feel right now. She just wanted to hold her man close to her today.

Laying her head down on his chest, Gabby smiled as she put her hand on Matt's chest; after which, she stroked it with his thumb before kissing it softly. Matt then wrapped his arm around her back, smirking as he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly. "God, I am so comfortable; and I am incredibly happy over the fact that I am currently holding my beautiful, pregnant wife in my arms right now." Gabby agreed with Matt when he said that, smiling at her. "Oh god, I feel the same way; I love it when my husband holds me in his arms, and I am so glad that you came home." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling as he felt the same way; more specifically, about the fact that he was came home. "Oh, I am so glad that I came home too. There's nowhere that I would rather be other than with my wife in my arms right now."

Gabby smiled as she heard Matt tell her that, as she knew that was the truth; after all, he has been holding her in his arms ever since he got home. And there was nothing better than the feeling of his strong arms around her, especially when it feels like he may have worked out recently. "Speaking of your arms, it seems like you've been working out recently baby; did you go to the gym while you were on your trip? Because you seem a bit more buff." Matt agreed with Gabby when she asked him whether he went to the gym while he was on this trip. "Yeah, I did. Whenever I missed you, I went to the gym and spent some time there; then I was distracted, and just doing stuff that can help with my help. Plus, Jay was having some PTSD while we were in New York City; and I helped him deal with it." Gabby smiled as she looked up at Matt, proud of him.

"Did I ever tell you just how proud of you I am? I mean, you want to help Jay with his PTSD; and you do that, even when he's my ex." Matt laughed. "It's more for my benefit, as I wanted him to be at his best when he was in the meetings with me. I mean, I didn't want him to be completely exhausted after having PTSD all night. Plus, I made him promise me that he would call Alex after we worked out; and he did call her, so I am positive that they are currently in the midst of talking about it right now." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, glad that was the case. "You remember that dream you had, about the PTSD health centre you were going to create at the hospital?" Matt took a breath when he heard Gabby say that, as that was still something he wanted to do. "Yeah, that's something that I still want to do." Gabby agreed with Matt, smiling.

"You're just trying to figure out how you're going to do it." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, smiling as he was so glad that she understood him so well. "God, I am so glad that you just understand me so well." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that, smirking as that was exactly how she wanted him to feel. "Baby, I want you to always feel like I understand you; especially after we spent the past four and a half months really working on us." Matt agreed with Gabby when she said that, smiling at the woman of his dreams; afterwards, he turned his head and kissed her forehead softly…and let's just say that made Gabby smile; after all, there was nothing like the feeling of her loving husband's lips on her forehead. The feelings that come up when she feels his lips on her forehead, it's just incredible; and she loves it.

She loves it (almost) as much as she does her husband. There's just something about how her husband does this simple thing that makes her smile so much. "So, listen, back to the thing about whether I did the ring thing. I know that we already spoke about it, but I guess I just want to think about it again; especially as it relates to Valentine's Day. I'm not sure just what she did, if they broke up or not; but that brings a worry into my head." Gabby looked up at Matt when he told her that he might get worried about something, especially when it's Valentine's Day. "What are you talking about Matt?" Matt took a breath as he looked down at Gabby, wrapping his arm around her back in the process before kissing her forehead softly. "It would've been her first Valentine's Day in a relationship, shouldn't that come before her boys' happiness?"

Gabby sighed as she laid down on Matt's head, hating that she has to think about this. "Matt, I think that I can give you the right answer; especially since I have had those thoughts before." Matt looked down at Gabby when she told him that, confused. "What do you mean?" Gabby took a breath. "When I still had the aneurysm…I always thought about your life without me, and you moving on as you raised the kids." Matt sighed, but just agreed with Gabby as she said that; I mean, of course he understands how Andy might be feeling right now. She had to think about that before. "And the truth was, I would've hoped that you would put our kids first…and take what they think very seriously as to who you date." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, ready to hear exactly what she thinks about this sensitive topic.

"And the truth is, I would hope that you would take our children's opinions into real consideration when it came to who you spent your life with; as she would become a surrogate mother for our children." Matt looked down at Gabby when she said that, shaking his head. "Hey, look at me." Gabby looked up at Matt when he said that. "Gabby, I hate talking this way; but I am going to tell you this." Gabby agreed with Matt when he told her that. "Baby, our children would have one mother. The only mom that they would know, is you. I would make them treat my girlfriend as their aunt. Their mommy would be you, and only you. Nobody can replace you, and I mean that." Gabby smiled when she heard matt say that, looking up at him. "And that's something that you can tell Heather, that you need to tell her what I just said." Matt smiled at his girl.

"But when it comes to whether you date someone who my kids don't approve of, that would be a non-starter; and I would expect you to break up with her ASAP." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, smiling as he loved the sound of that. He then proceeded to kiss her forehead as they both held each other close in their bed, which is exactly what Matt wants to do right now. He wants to hold the most important woman in his life in his arms. And he's sure that it's what Gabby wants as well, as she looks very comfortable in his arms right now. Just looking down at his beautiful wife, Matt smirked as he kissed her forehead once again. "How are you feeling right now? Are you comfortable in my arms?" Gabby laughed as Matt asked her whether she was comfortable in his arms. "Baby, of course I'm comfortable in your arms."

Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, smiling as he turned his head and then kissed her forehead once again. "By the way, I have to say that I love this lingerie that you're wearing for me." Gabby laughed. "Thanks. I actually had my mom make this for me." Matt looked at his wife when she said that, shocked. "Wait, you mean…" Gabby smirked. "I designed this myself. I couldn't find sexy lingerie that was good for twins. They were all too tight, but this was sexy; and I liked the design I made. I think this might be another project that I start, Maternity Lingerie." Matt smirked as he heard Gabby say that, loving the idea of her having a line of maternity lingerie. "Or, you can just make all of your lingerie." Gabby smiled as she looked up at Matt. "As it would mean that you make the lingerie that you wear for me, and I know that's much more special."

Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that, as that would definitely be the truth. "I actually worked a bunch on some designs while you were gone." Matt smiled when he heard Gabby tell him that. "Do you mind if I go get them?" Matt agreed with Gabby when she asked him whether she can go get the designs that she made for the company, before kissing her softly. Afterwards, he bent down and proceeded to kiss her softly; taking things nice and slow with his girl, Matt smirked due to the fact that he was glad that this is how they are going to be spending time together. "Go get them for me." Gabby agreed with Matt when he asked her to go get the designs for him, getting up so that she can go do just that for her man. After all, that was exactly what she wanted to do for him as well. She wants to show the man she loves her designs.

Making her way back to bed shortly after getting her sketch pad, Gabby smirked due to the fact that her husband looked very sexy as he laid down in bed this Valentine's Day; a Valentine's Day that she didn't expect to spend with her husband. But now, it was time for her to get in bed with her husband; she was going to get in bed with him, so that she could show him the designs that she created. More specifically, the designs that she made for the company. She just hopes that he likes them because it's something that she really wants. Sure, Gabby knows that Matt will (obviously) like them as her husband; but she really wants to her his honest, unbiased opinion as the head of the company. She doesn't want to hear his biased opinion, the opinion that comes with her being her husband; especially since that's something that she already knows.

Gabby's POV:
Taking a breath as I walked up to the side of our bed, I looked at my handsome husband; the husband whom I love more than anything in the entire world, and who is incredibly sexy. "Listen, I need you to promise me something." Matt just looked at me when I said that. "And what would that be?" Climbing into bed, I went to lean against my pillow while holding my sketch pad close to me; after all, I didn't want Matt to grab it and look at my designs before I ask her this question. "I want your honest opinion, as the CEO; I don't want your opinion as my husband, as I already know that opinion." Matt laughed when I asked him that, before shaking his head. "Well, I hate to tell you this Gabby but…that can't happen." I was confused when I heard Matt tell me that, why can't he give me his honest, unbiased opinion as the CEO. "Why not?"

Matt sighed as he looked at me. "Babe, you know me. You know that I can't separate the two roles. Nor can I put my job as CEO first, when I made you the promise that I would always put my job as your husband before that as the CEO, which is the exact promise that you're asking me to break right now." I agreed with Matt when he told me that, as I knew that was the truth. "Right, that makes sense." Matt smiled when I said that, just looking at me. "But listen, how about you come sit with me; and I can look at those nice designs that you made for your clothing line? I can tell you my opinion as your husband because I am already proud of you." Crawling over to Matt, I smirked when he told me that; afterwards, I looked at the man I love while I sat down next to him. Putting my hand on the side of his face, I smiled as I leaned in and kissed him softly.

Just taking things nice and slow with the man of my dreams, I smiled as he really is perfect. This is perfect. Heck, us spending time with each other is always perfect; as it's always what I wanted to do, especially when we're in bed with each other. Pulling away from the kiss, Matt smiled at me before rolling over so that he was leaning back against his pillow. "Now, how about you give me that sketch book so that I can look at the sketches that you made?" I agreed with Matt, proceeding to give him my sketch book; that way, he can look at the designs that I made while he was gone. Just smiling at my man as he grabbed the sketch book, I watched as he went ahead and looked at the sketches that I made. "Now, please remember that these are just preliminary sketches; and nothing is final yet." Matt agreed with me, smiling at me.

Grabbing my hand, he proceeded to intertwine our fingers as he continued to look at the sketches that I made. Afterwards, he went to look at one of the most recent sketches that I made; one of some lingerie, which prompted Matt to run his fingers down the paper to really admire it. Taking a breath, I looked at Matt. "Okay, that one; I am not that sure about. I am just thinking about it, as I don't think that I could compete with the big names." Turning his head, Matt looked at me before bringing my hand to his lips. He then smiled as he kissed it and then leaned in to kiss me softly. "Look at me." I agreed with Matt as he told me that, smiling at my incredible husband. "Baby, these are beautiful; and I don't want you to think any other way. And I truly mean that." I smiled, agreeing with the man of my dreams as he told me that they look good.

"Good, because I was worried about that." Matt agreed with me as I told him that I was worried about how good the designs were. "Baby, you really have no reason to worry about how good the designs are. You are an incredible designer, and I am so proud of you." I agreed with Matt as he told me that, smiling as I went to cuddle up to him some more, which prompted him to wrap his arm around me and put his hand on my stomach, which is something that I know he loves doing. And the truth was, I love it when he does it too; as it was incredibly comfortable, and I am so proud of the fact that I am really comfortable with my man. God, he is just so damn sexy; and I am so proud of the fact that I am his wife. Just laying my head down on his shoulder, I smiled due to the fact that this is very comfortable. There's just nothing better than this.

The way that Matt holds me in his arms, is always perfect; for the simple fact that Matt is the man I love, and the only man that I ever want to be with…and that's not just due to the fact that he's the father of my children. Rather, it's due to the fact that he's the man I love. I just love him like crazy, and I am so proud of him. Turning the page to look at some more of my designs, Matt smiled as he wrapped his arm around me and then turned his head to kiss my forehead softly. And let's just say that it was quite comfortable, as I love it when Matt wraps his arm around me because it makes me feel safe; not that I don't have any reason not to feel safe when I'm with Matt, because he's my husband…and I know that he'll never hurt me, nor would he ever hurt our children. That's not the man I married, and I know that's the truth; and it'll always be the truth.

But right now, I definitely do not need to think about that; especially since Matt is not his father, nor will he ever be his father. This man loves me far too much to ever lay a finger on me, other than a finger in an intimate way; an intimate way that includes a bunch of sex, which might be something that I want….scratch that, that I will want later. God, just looking at my shirtless husband is driving me crazy; and it's making me want him to run his hands all over my body, and I'm sure that Matt will be more than willing to do just that later. Just daydreaming about him running his hands all over me, I didn't even realize that Matt just spoke to me. "Babe!" Turning my head, I looked up at Matt. "Sorry, what?" Looking down at me, Matt seemed a bit concerned. "Hey, are you okay?" I smiled when Matt asked me whether I was okay, which I was.

"Hey, of course I'm okay baby; I promise that I'm fine, I was just thinking about how much I love you. Oh, and how much I love it when you're shirtless." Matt laughed as I mentioned that, before bending down and proceeding to kiss me softly. And let's just say that I was very happy over the fact that he just kissed me, as I always love sharing kisses with my incredible husband; the way he kisses me is the best feeling in the entire world, and I am just so proud to have the ability to call his man my husband. And he's the only man that I want to ever call my husband, and I'm sure that Matt feels the same way about me being his wife. This is just incredible, and I am so proud of the fact that this is our life. Looking down at me, Matt smirked due to the fact that he's very happy right now; I can just tell that he's happy at the moment. I just know it.

"You're thinking about how sexy I look right now, aren't you?" Matt laughed when I said that, agreeing with me before bending down and kissing me softly; taking things nice and slow with me at the same time, Matt just smirked due to the fact that he's happy. "God, I am so glad that I came home to be with you this Valentine's Day." I agreed with Matt when he told me that, smiling as I felt the same way. I was very happy over the fact that he was home, and that we were together this Valentine's Day. "Which is where you should've been the entire time. Sorry, but I have to say this…I was a bit mad at you when you first went on a trip. I told you that, right?" Matt agreed with me as I said that, smiling as he bent down and kissed me once again. "Hey, of course I know that; and I understand that you were mad. Of course, you were mad." I agreed.

"And I knew that the moment I tried to book a schedule close to today, which is why I made sure that I could make it flexible; so that I could try and be here. Plus, I wanted to be here too; as there was no way that I was going to risk my last to have one last chance at having uninterrupted sex, without our children to interrupt us. I mean, I am going to love them at the end of the day; but still, I am going to want to have time with you." I agreed with Matt when he told me that, smiling at the man of my dreams as I put my hand on his chest; after which, I leaned up and just kissed Matt nice and slowly. "God, I want to take you in my arms and just give me exactly what I want right now." Matt laughed as I told him that, agreeing with me. "I thought we were going to wait to have sex until later?" I smirked as I looked at my loving husband. "I want you."

Matt agreed with me when I told him that, realizing now that it was clear that I was not going to be giving up until I got some intimate time with the man of my dreams; the man I love more than anything in the entire world. Anyways, not like he doesn't want me too.
