Chief Casey Season 1: Chicago's Newest Chief (Dawsey)

Chapter 164

30 minutes later when Gabby has finished feeding the kids:
Matt's POV: As I walked back into the house after loading up some of Matteo's toys and stuff, I walked in to see Gabby wearing a tight dress. "Woah." Gabby then smiled when I said that before going to give me my bag. "Your uniform and stuff. I want to practice wearing this. I am never sure when there is going to be a charity event and you promised we could still go to them." I nodded and smiled while walking up to her. Grabbing her butt, I then brought her close to me. "A night with my gorgeous wife wearing a tight dress like that? Count me in." I then went to kiss her.

Laughing as I kissed her, I smiled as me and Gabby held each other close. I then remembered that we had the kids to put in the car. "Where are the babies?" Gabby then pointed down at them and I smiled. "Just to let you know, I texted my mom and she is making us breakfast. I also told her that I am not wearing my uniform yet because I don't want to wear it our of the firehouse. I want Matteo to feel like he can play with me until we are at work. I think the uniform makes him more nervous around me." Gabby then sighed. "I noticed that too."

I then sighed as I went to grab her hand. "Listen, tomorrow...I want to just sit with Matteo and talk to him. I want to figure this out. His questions, your concerns and I want to just try and find this...understanding between the three of us about what we need to try and achieve. If he feels part of the conversation, maybe then he might be easier on you and we can try and explain stuff to him." Gabby smiled when I said that before stepping close to me. She then put her hand on my cheek and kissed me softly. "If you ever doubt your leadership skills, don't. You are great."

Gabby smiled as she went to grab one of the babies' car seats. Doing the same I then went to grab my car keys before grabbing her hand and intertwining our fingers. I then went to lead her out of the house while turning around and going to lock the door. "Oh and tonight, we do a movie night with him until he falls asleep." Gabby smiled and turned me around. She then got close to me and kissed me softly. "Matteo will love that. Especially because he is going to be able to cuddle up to his daddy." I smiled when she said that and nodded.

I smiled when she said that and nodded. "Listen, let's get going okay? We have to head to my mom's place and get him before work." Gabby smiled and agreed as we made our way to the van. Opening the back doors, I went to set my bag down before putting Ella in her car seat. Locking her into place, I then looked at Gabby when she opened the door to Wally's car seat. Doing the same as me, she then looked up at me. "Why do you always stare at me when we are looking at each other like this." I then smiled. "Because my wife is gorgeous."

Gabby then stared at me and shook her head. "Calm down, Matteo is home with us tonight and that means that you aren't getting any action." I nodded and understood before going to get in the driver's seat. Gabby then did the same with the passenger's seat. I then went to push the button to close and lock all the back doors as I turned to look at Gabby. Leaning over the center console, I went to kiss her softly when the phone interrupted us. Seeing it was my mom, I answered while pulling out of the driveway. "Hey mom, what's up?"

My mom then sighed. "Matteo isn't awake yet and I am not sure whether to wake him up or not? I know that might make you late but..."  I then sighed and turned to look at Gabby before biting my lip. "Mom, just leave him be and I will wake him up when we get there. We have time for a quick breakfast. We already fed the kids but, we didn't eat. Can you throw together some toast or something? That should be good. We have more food at the firehouse." My mom agreed with me. "Sure thing now, I did give him a bath last night so don't worry about that."

I agreed and smiled. "Good, now where is he right now anyways?" My mom then laughed. "He's in your old bedroom. I told you that I got your childhood home right?" I then turned to look at Gabby. "I knew I recognized the address! I am going to have to come back and explore more. Are the drawings and stuff still there? Oh and my height stuff." My mom laughed and agreed. "That's the only reason I was okay with getting this house. The good memories outweighed the bad memories." I laughed and understood. "This is going to be awesome. See you soon mom."

I then went to hang up and just laughed. "She seriously bought your childhood home?" I nodded and smiled. "The address just hit me. God, this is crazy. I haven't been there in years. I thought it burned down or was torn down." Gabby smiled. "Looks like we have a good reason to go to your mom's place more." We then both looked at each other when she said that. "That's why she bought the place. To make sure we come over more." We then both laughed when I said that and nodded as we prepared to drive to my childhood home/my mom's place.
