Hello Readers: And welcome to a new story, somewhat. The truth is, I have already written a similar version of this story…but, just not where I hope to write this story. And just where do I hope to write this story? That would be in Florida. Hopefully, you guys enjoy this new version of the story…which will begin in Chapter 65 of the original series. Thanks again for reading, and I hope you enjoy it.

Chapter 1: Welcome to the Sunshine State

December 1, 2018 – Casey Home, Ft. Lauderdale – Gabriela Casey still couldn't believe that this happening; no, not that she miscarried the precious twins she and Matt have always wanted. But rather, it was the fact that she got the lifelong Chicago resident out of that cold, windy city once more for the second time in three months…which was quite impressive considering Matt never thought he'd ever want to leave Chicago. On the contrary, he wanted to be a Chicago guy for the rest of his life. Though, in reality, that was never going to be the case due to the fact that he's only one type of guy: he's Gabby's guy. He's Gabby's husband, which is precisely why he left Chicago once more: for her health, as well as the health of their unborn children. This was what she needed in order to have a successful pregnancy: being here in the sun, where they can be with each other as they start a family.

Plus, it doesn't hurt that she's quite close to Puerto Rico, which means that she could easily visit whenever she wanted; just, not right now, not when she's pregnant with their twins…he's just glad that Gabby agrees with him when he says that, due to the fact that he had no intention to have a fight with her about it. Though, if it came to that, then he was more than ready to put his foot down and tell his wife that she's not going there when she's pregnant with their child. He just hopes that won't wreck his marriage, which they've made a lot of progress on. So much so, that Matt just knew in his heart that this was the right decision the moment they made it; after all, he could just see that it was what Gabby needed based on the look in her eyes when the topic of them leaving for somewhere warm came up after the fire which torched her mother's home…something that truly scared Gabby.

So much so, that she just didn't feel safe in the city they used to call home anymore, which is the entire reason they left: so that Gabby could feel safe as they prepared to welcome their children; while also ensuring that her husband is safe as well, which is why she specifically told him that he wasn't going to find a job here in Florida which dealt with fire. With them not knowing anybody here, she needs him to be safe in the case the worst happens (not that it will, considering it turned out that the doctor was wrong). God, that still pisses Matt off to this day: the fact that the doctor they went to for help in starting a family misdiagnosed Gabby with an aneurysm, when she didn't have one whatsoever; something which could've easily led to them getting divorced, but which has been fixed due to the fact that they were having twins. They were going to have two little girls next year, and Matt couldn't wait.

Which was just one of the many reasons he told the CFD that he didn't know what the future held for him, due to the fact that he had to take leave again; though, he was pretty sure that wasn't going to last for long considering the new wealth he's recently inherited. Yes, it turned out that Matt's family has wealth…more specifically, his late grandparents; the ones he never knew lived in Chicago, in the same condo building as his mother-in-law. And that was precisely what Matt was thinking about at this very moment, as he laid down in bed with his wife in his arms, all cuddled up to her as he tried to get some rest at 5:30 in the morning. However, Gabby knew the reality…Matt wasn't sleeping right now, he was wide awake and thinking about that last fire he worked in Chicago. "You still thinking about that fire?" Looking down at his wife, Matt was surprised to hear Gabby's voice. "Hey, what are you doing up?"

Gabby smiled as she looked at the man she loves. "I asked you a question first, so open up to me Matthew." Matt sighed as he looked down at his wife. "I guess, it's just about how everything has changed again. How your mom almost died, in the same fire that my grandparents died in." Gabby agreed with her husband, as she had a feeling that he was thinking about that at this moment. "You're still in shock, aren't you?" Matt sighed as he looked into Gabby's eyes. "$250 Billion? Yeah, that's a lot. Add in the fact that your mother almost died, then that just adds so much more. I hate that this is how things turned out, as I just can't…" Gabby sighed as Matt told her that, well aware that he was overwhelmed at the moment. He had so much on his mind, that he could easily burst if that happened. Right now, he just needed to take it easy and relax, due to the fact that he had a lot on his mind. "And then, our condo."

Matt said, prior to sighing as he thought about something else that happened lately: their condo burned down; though, it seems like he forgot to tell Gabby that. "What about our condo?" Gabby said, as she pushed herself off Matt's chest and rolled over so that she was laying down on her side; meanwhile, Matt rolled over onto his side and smiled as he brought the woman he loves close to him by tugging her body against his chest. After which, he wrapped his arm around her back and smirked as he leaned in and kissed her softly. "Good morning." Gabby agreed with Matt, prior to placing her hand on his face and kissing him again. "Good morning is right. I mean, it's still early, but good morning." Matt agreed with his wife and smiled, only to run his fingers up and down her side. "How you feeling? I know you had some trouble last night with the turbulence." Gabby agreed with her husband, as that was true.

Though, she was feeling better. "It's been a whirlwind to say the least. Though, I have to say, your grandparents had some good taste. This is a great place down here, and I could easily see us living here." Matt smirked as Gabby said that. "Might it have something to do with the fact that we're 20 minutes away from Ft. Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport." Gabby laughed. "C'mon! It's a 3-hour flight to San Juan. I can go there every once and a while…we can go there, which is something I always wanted. And don't you dare say it's too expensive to go that often. If we can live in a $50 million house, then we can go to Puerto Rico quite often." Matt agreed with his wife, as that most certainly is the truth: they can go to San Juan every once and a while, just not yet. "Not yet. Right now, we need to concentrate on our little ones." Matt said, as he placed his hand on Gabby's stomach and smiled as he stroked it with his thumb.

Meanwhile, Gabby placed her hand on his and smirked as she stroke it with her thumb and leaned in to kiss her loving husband softly. "I love you, and I love our new life. This is everything we need in life: each other." Matt agreed with his wife, prior to adding on. "And our girls." Gabby smiled and agreed, as that most certainly is the truth; each other and their girls, who he's going to be the best father to. "You're going to be the best dad in the entire world, I already knew that." Matt agreed with his wife, only to smile as he leaned in and kissed her softly as they held each other close in the comfort of their bed. "God, you are so sexy, and I love you more than anything." Gabby agreed with Matt, well aware that was the case. "So, you going to miss being a firefighter?" Matt shook his head. "Not a chance. You mean more to me than a city, or a job. Plus, I can make a new job for myself with this money." Gabby agreed.

After all, she had a feeling he may want to create a company. "Construction full time?" Matt shrugged, as he had no idea what he was going to do in the future; but for now, he was just going to take it easy and concentrate on her. "Right now, I'm just going to concentrate on you. And that's why I'm glad that my grandparents had a place here in Florida already, as it took away the stress of us having to find a new place." Gabby agreed and smiled due to the fact that it felt great. "I love that, too. And I think we can easily call this our forever home, so you can go ahead and unpack; meanwhile, I can start ordering things for the twins." Matt snickered as Gabby said that. "Of course, you're already thinking about that." Placing her hand on the side of Matt's face, Gabby leaned in and kissed him softly. "And things for me to please you. Sexy things I can wear." Matt smirked as he got close to Gabby and kissed her.

Meanwhile, Gabby smirked as she placed her hand on his face and took things nice and slow with the man of her dreams; though, she was much more interested in having sex with him. "Do you want me?" Matt smirked as Gabby asked him whether he wanted her, as he most certainly did; though, he thinks he should be the one asking her that question. "I think I should be asking you that question, considering you've been under a lot of stress lately." Gabby shook her head, as she could say the same about him. "Matt, your grandparents just died…and Benny just died too. We both know that's a lot for you to deal with as well, just like how we don't even know how long we're going to be here in Florida." Matt shook his head. "Hey, don't even think that way. We can be here for as long as we want to, as this is our home. I inherited it, while my sister got their home in Hawaii. So, this is another home for us."

Gabby shook her head as Matt said that, as she didn't know whether she could ever call Chicago home again. "I'm not sure whether or not I can call Chicago home anymore." Surprised to hear Gabby tell him that, Matt grabbed his wife's hand to listen to her. "What do you mean, Gabby?" Gabby sighed. "Matt, my mom almost died there. You almost died there a year-and-a-half ago. We lost Louie and our first child there. Do you really think that Chicago is a good place for us to be when we've been dealt with so much loss and pain there? When we've lost our best friends and our children there? Hell, that was one of the reasons why I wanted to leave in the first place…because I was scared that we would lose the twins if we stayed there." And the moment Gabby said that, Matt moved close to his wife and brought her body against his chest; meanwhile, Gabby wrapped her arms around his back as she held him too.

It was exactly what she needed right now: to be held by the man she loves, as they took in everything they just mentioned to each other. "Sorry, I didn't mean to be so dark." Matt shook his head, as it was fine. "No, it's fine. I get it. I know that we've been through a lot there, and I agree with you. I get that we can't call Chicago home anymore, so we aren't." Gabby was surprised to hear Matt tell her that, only to look up at the man of her dreams. "You mean that?" Matt nodded as he turned his head and bent down to kiss the woman of his dreams, the woman he loves more than anything in the entire world. This is where he wants to be: with her, in Florida, where they can have a wonderful life with each other and their children. And that all starts with them sharing a sweet kiss with each other in the comfort of their bed, which is precisely what they started to do with each other this morning prior to falling back asleep.

–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

8:30 AM – They ended up falling back asleep in each other's arms after making love to each other this morning, which was just perfect due to the fact that Gabby needed some rest; and honestly, so did Matt. He just didn't need as much rest as she did, as evidenced by the fact that he was now downstairs in the living room of their home…using his laptop, rather than cuddling up to his wife in bed. The wife who just came downstairs from their room in lingerie, unimpressed over the fact that Matt was down here instead of in bed with her. "Seriously? I give you morning sex when I'm tired, yet you're down here when I finally wake up?" Gabby said, with her voice dripping in pure frustration; after all, she thought about going for another round with him this morning. "Oh, did you want me again?" Looking at her husband as she walked into the living room, Gabby nodded as that was precisely what she wanted to do.

She wanted to have him take her in his arms again, so that he can make her relax and take it easy; but, that wasn't going to happen now that they were downstairs. Rather, he was going to have to settle with touching her in lingerie. "You don't get me here, but you do get to touch me in lingerie." Smirking, Matt agreed with Gabby as she walked up to him in her lingerie, only to set his laptop down on the side table. "Oh, now daddy likes this." Gabby agreed with Matt as he told her that and smirked, only to sit down in his lap with her legs next to his; meanwhile, Matt placed his hands on her back as he brought here against his chest and leaned in to kiss her softly. "Good morning." Placing her hands on Matt's face, Gabby smirked as she leaned in and kissed the love of her life once more. "Good morning. Sleep well after our round?" Matt smirked, as he most certainly did. "Oh, you know I did; always do."

Matt said, prior to bending down and pressing his lips to her neck; only to suck on it, as that was precisely what Gabby wanted him to do. She wanted him to please him some more, as she had a lot of hormones to deal with right now. "God, I love it when you do that for me." Matt nodded as he sucked on Gabby's neck some more, well aware of just what she likes to get from him. "Oh, I already know that." He said, as he turned his head and leaned in to kiss the woman he loves. "I love you." Gabby agreed with Matt and smiled as she kissed him once more. "I love you too, but I missed you when I woke up in bed without you." Matt agreed, well aware that was the case as he ran his hands up and down her back. After which, he wrapped his arms around her and leaned back against the couch cushions while holding the love of his life in his arms. "Did you get any sleep again? Or, did you just stay awake and think?"

Matt asked his wife, hoping that Gabby would be honest with him, which is precisely what she did, as she knew that Matt was worried about her. "Not as much as I would've liked, but I think I slept. I'm not exactly sure whether I slept or now." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, only to run his hands up and down her back some more as he gave her a back massage; something which she needs much more often now that she's pregnant with their twins. "God, I love this. The way you're holding me, the way you're rubbing my back and kissing my neck. It's precisely what I need right now." Matt agreed with Gabby, well aware that was the case based on the fact that she was quite tight…at least, her muscles in her back were. "I can feel the tension in your back. It's tight, babe." Gabby sighed, as she figured he'd realize that sooner rather than later. "Yeah, it's because I was thinking about my mom." Matt agreed.

After which, he decided to offer to do something for her. "Do you want me to run you a bath?" Leaning back, Gabby was surprised as he's never offered to run her a bath before. "Sorry, what? Where did that come from? I've never heard you offer to run me a bath." Matt agreed with Gabby. "That's due to the fact that we've never lived in a place where the bath was big enough to relax in, which is precisely what the bath in our room is." Gabby agreed with Matt as she placed her hand on his chest, only to lean close to him and wrap her arm around his head; in the process, she stared into his eyes and leaned her forehead against his. "Did I ever tell you that I love you, and that I'm a very lucky woman to have you in her life?" Matt agreed with Gabby. "Every single day…especially when you offered to risk your life to make me a father." Gabby agreed with Matt as she leaned in and kissed the love of her life softly.

However, Matt soon decided that this wasn't the place where they were going to share a kiss this morning; rather, they were going to do so in the comfort of their bed. So, as he wrapped his arms around Gabby, he smirked as he picked her up in his arms and wrapped her legs around his waist to make sure she was holding on tight; after which, he placed his hands on her back as he got up and just took things nice and slow with the love of his life. "Where are we headed?" Smirking as he felt Gabby wrap her legs around his neck some more as she laid her head down on his chest, Matt soon pressed his lips to her shoulder and just smirked as he sucked on it. "I think we both know where we're headed right now." Gabby agreed with Matt and smiled, as that was precisely where she wanted to be: naked in bed with the man she loves, as he took things nice and slow with her in the comfort of their bed.

Walking up to Gabby at the end of their bed after putting some fresh deodorant on to make him smell better, Matt couldn't help but smirk at the sight of his gorgeous, sexy, pregnant wife as she stood at the end of their bed clad in some very sexy lingerie…lingerie which he has every intention of taking off momentarily. But first, he decided to savor this moment; he wanted to take it in as he concentrated on what truly mattered: just how much he truly loved his wife, and how glad he is that this is where they're living now. In a place where there's so much less stress, where they can live their life and have a great time with each other; after all, that's all he wants in life: to live a wonderful life with the love of his life…which is precisely what Matt was more than ready to show his girl as he made love to her in their new bed. The bed, which is quite comfortable, just like Gabby wanted it to be. "God, you're so sexy."

Matt said, as he walked up to Gabby at the end of their bed and placed his hands on her stomach; meanwhile, she placed her hands on his arms and smiled as she stepped close to Matt. "I can say the same thing about you, Mr. Casey." Smiling as he moved his hand to Gabby's neck, Matt agreed with his gorgeous wife as he leaned in and started to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams. "God, I want you in bed." Gabby agreed, as that was precisely what she wanted as well. She wants Matt to take her in bed, so that he can make love to her and make her feel his love for her; something he's an expert at, because they have a connection which she's never felt with any other man she's loved. "I want you too, which is why we're up here in the first place." Matt agreed with Gabby as she told him that, only to press on her side to get her to turn around. After which, Gabby did so in order to help Matt.

That way, he could easily undo her garment and get her undressed ahead of them getting in bed with each other; something Gabby wants desperately, because of how much she loves him. And that was precisely what Matt did the moment she turned around: he started to undo her lingerie, while also pressing his lips to her back as a way to please her. And that's precisely what he was doing: he was pleasing her, while also making her moan. "God, I love that feeling Matt. It's everything." Matt agreed as he slowly undid her lingerie, only to place his hands on her body inside of the garment; after which, he tugged her back against his chest and bent down to kiss her neck once more. "You're my everything, so I want to give you everything." Gabby agreed with Matt as he sucked on her neck, only to turn around and wrap her arms around his neck prior to kissing him; meanwhile, Matt placed his hands on her sides.

In the process, he kept her body against his chest just like he wanted to. "God, I love you so much…and I am so glad that you're 12-weeks pregnant with our twins." Gabby agreed with Matt, as she felt the same way; she was more than ready to have twins with him in the future, which is why she's so excited to have these kids. "Speaking of which, any morning sickness?" Gabby shook her head, as she didn't have any morning sickness. "None." Matt agreed with Gabby and smirked, only to bend down and kiss her neck softly. After which, he picked her up in his arms and wrapped her legs around her waist so that he could carry her to their bed; after all, he needed to lay her down if he wanted to make love to her. And that's precisely what he went to do as he opened the covers and proceeded to lay his gorgeous wife down in bed. "God, I love this sight of you in our bed like this." Gabby agreed as she looked up at Matt.

Upon doing so, she placed her hand on his neck and smiled as she kissed him softly. "It'd be much better if you were in bed with me, on top of me; that's where I want you to be right now, after all." Matt agreed with his wife, well aware that she wants him in bed on top of her; so, he went to do just that: he got in bed on top of Gabby, more than ready to give his wife the attention she craves. And the moment he did that, Gabby moaned; though, Matt didn't understand why she did that when he wasn't doing anything yet. "Why did you moan when I didn't do anything yet." Gabby smirked. "You squeezed my breast." Turning his head, Matt realized that his hand was on her breast and smirked as he laid down on top of her; after which, Gabby closed the sheets on top of them and placed her hand on Matt's face. "God, I love you more than anything, and I hope you know that." Matt agreed and smiled.

After which, he leaned in and smirked as he started to take things nice and slow with the woman of his dreams.

Gabby's POV:
As I felt Matt make love to me this morning, I truly felt his love for me in the way our bodies moved against one another's so perfectly. After being together for so long, he just knows how to touch me so that I'm pleased, which is precisely what he's in the midst of doing as he ran his hands up and down my body; meanwhile, I ran my hand around his strong body and moaned as he made love to me. "Fuck, Matt!" Smirking, Matt just knew that he loved how he was pleasing me right now, which I confirmed by turning my head and kissing his neck. "God, so sexy." Matt agreed with me and smiled, clearly more than ready to give me exactly what I want right now: him and the feeling of his body in our bed. And as he did so, I truly felt as though I died and went to heaven. Matt is truly the best in bed, and I always feel so pleased when makes love to me; especially when he pins me down in bed, like he just did.

And he did so by grabbing my hand and intertwining our fingers, only to kiss the back of my hand for a moment; an action which made me smile, as I moved my other hand to his face and stared into his gorgeous eyes. "God, I love it when you do that. It's extremely sexy." Matt agreed with me and smirked as he leaned in and kissed me softly, only to move his hand to my stomach as he continued to make love to me in the comfort of our bed; something I hope he'll do for a while, as this is precisely what I need right now: him.
