Dawsey: Starting a Family Part 3

Chapter 327

Antonio's POV: Once the rest of the intelligence unit got off the call, I made my way back to the living room so me and Gabby could speak to our sister and her husband together. "Sorry guys, do you mind if me and Gabby have a minute?" Gabby then turned to look at Matt. "Matt, how about you go show Christie and Heather around? Show them the nursery and stuff. I am going to talk to my sister okay?" Matt nodded and agreed with Gabby. "Sure thing, have fun." He then went to get up and looked at his sisters, smiling. "C'mon ladies, let's go to the nursery."

Gabby then smiled as he walked away before turning her attention back to our half-sister and her husband. "So, that is your husband Gabriela?" Gabby smiled when our sister said that. "Yeah, he's the best. His name is Matt. And pleases, call me Gabby." She agreed and smiled when she said that. "Of course Gabby. How is your pregnancy going along?" She smiled when she asked. "Really good. We are having twins." Gabby then turned to look at me. "Actually, did you know that Matt was supposed to be a twin? His sister died at birth." I was shocked.

"Wow, that's something." Gabby nodded when I said that. "Yeah, he was shocked. It was a sister. She was going to be named Hannah. So, we are going to change our daughter's name to Hanna without an -H." I nodded and agreed with her when she said that. "That sounds beautiful." Sofia agreed with me when I said that. "That really does sound beautiful Gabby. Now, how far along into the pregnancy are you now?" Gabby smiled and then went to rub her stomach. "I am 16 weeks along." Sofia smiled when she said that. "I will get you a gift, I promise."

Gabby shook her head when she said that. "Don't worry about it Sofia. We barely know each other." I agreed and nodded before going to grab Gabby's hand. "Gabby, just say yes. If she's anything like dad..." Gabby laughed and nodded when I said that. "Then she's going to push." Sofia agreed with the both of us. "Let me guess, Ramon is very pushy at times?" Me and Gabby both laughed when she said that. "Oh yes, very pushy." That's when Louie ran over to Gabby. "Who are you talking to mommy?" Gabby then smiled as she picked him up.

"That's your aunt Sofia." Sofia then looked at him and smiled. "Who's this Gabby?" Gabby then smiled. "This is me and Matt's adoptive son. His name is Louie. Can you say hi aunt Sofia Louie?" Louie then got nervous and cuddled up to Gabby. That's when Matt came downstairs. "How did I already know you were coming down here bud?" Gabby then nodded up at him and smiled. "Matt, sit down. I want to introduce you to somebody." Matt then nodded as he went to sit next to Gabby. "Matt, this is my half-sister Sofia and her husband Pedro."

They then both waved to Matt and smiled. "This is weird, we both meet our half-siblings today." Gabby nodded and agreed with him when he said that. "Go keep giving Heather a tour okay? I got him. I having cuddled up to Louie in a while. However, after lunch I want more alone time." Matt nodded when she said that before going to kiss her softly. "I promise." Gabby nodded and smiled when he said that before watching him get up. She then looked at Louie and smiled at him. "You need to relax or go upstairs with daddy okay Louie?"

I then turned to look at Gabby. "Here, hand him over to me. He can sit back easier on me instead of you...you are pregnant." Gabby agreed and nodded. "Here Louie, go see uncle Antonio." Louie nodded and agreed as he went to sit in my lap. Wrapping my arm around him, I smiled and kissed the top of his head. "Oh, Pedro and Sofia...remind me to introduce you both to my kids Eva and Diego while you are here." They both nodded. "If it's safe. We may just stay apart. COVID is much worse down here than it us up there in Chicago." I then thought about it and sighed.

"Then maybe us meeting isn't the best right now. I really want these twins. We already lost one of them. It was originally triplets." Pedro felt bad when he heard that. "I am so sorry Gabby, how are you doing?" Gabby sighed when he asked her that. "I am taking it one day at a time. It still hurts considering this isn't the first time we lost a child but...it's getting better. Matt has been such a great help and we are just grieving together. Honestly, I am just glad we still have twins. I am going to be giving birth this August." 

Sofia agreed when she said that. "Honestly, enjoy it when they are young...then they get annoying." I laughed when she said that. "I can attest to that. I have teenagers." Sofia then laughed when he said that. "Well, I feel bad for you considering that we are not there yet." I then turned to look at Gabby and she smirked. "I still think I am going to have the hardest time raising kids. I mean, I am having twins!" I nodded when she said that. "Not that it's a competition but, I can't help but agree!" Gabby nodded and smiled as we both took time to speak to our sister.
