Matt's POV: After (quickly) checking on our girls on my way to bed, I smiled as I looked at Gabby while she waited for me to get in bed with her. Based on the look in her eyes, I could just tell that she was very attracted to what I was wearing right now. I was just wearing my boxers and I knew that it was exactly what Gabby wanted me to be wearing right now...and I wasn't in the mood to argue with what is the right thing for me to wear. Walking over with my phone, I smiled as I set it down before going to lay down in our hospital bed (real bed luckily) to cuddle up to Gabby. She needed to relax...and I was going to help her do that. Watching me get in bed with her, Gabby just smiled before coming to cuddle up to me and laid down on my chest. "How you feeling?"
Gabby smiled when I asked her that. "Honestly, I'm feeling pretty good for what happened to me today." I nodded and agreed with Gabby when she told me that. Putting my hand on her back, I went to stroke it with my thumb and smiled. "First time we've slept without kids in between us since we had the boys." Gabby laughed and agreed with me when I said that before going to rub my chest. "Matt, can I ask you something?" I nodded when Gabby asked me that. "You can ask me anything baby. Is there something on your mind?" Gabby sighed when I asked her that. "Talk to me Gabby. Remember, I'm here for you." Gabby sighed and agreed with me, still nervous. "I did the right thing right?" I looked down at Gabby when she asked me that, confused. "What?"
Gabby sighed when I asked her that. "Matt, we got pregnant with the girls so soon after we had the boys...I can't help but wonder if that led to me giving birth early." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that. Going to kiss her forehead softly, I just held her close to me while I felt her slip her legs in between mine. Putting my legs up, I smiled at her. "Gabby, I am never going to say that we went too fast. I love the girls already and I am so happy that we have them. I mean that with my entire heart and you can't tell me that we did anything wrong. Nothing will ever change my mind about the fact that we did the right thing for us." Gabby smiled and agreed with me after I told her that. "Good, because I feel the same way." I smiled and agreed with her.
Turning my head, I smiled as I went to kiss Gabby's forehead softly. I just want her to relax since that's what she needed to do right now. "Uhm...I have some news." Gabby nodded when I said that. "Good news?" I sighed. "A bit of both." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that. "We have to spend the next 7 months here in the NICU with the girls." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that. I then went to kiss the side of her head and just took a breath. "So, we aren't released until my birthday." Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "Good birthday gift." I agreed with her. "Literally though. They want to release us February 12th." Gabby laughed. "We can spend our anniversary at home maybe. Maybe my mom can spend the night with the kids."
Feeling Gabby wrap her arms around my waist, I agreed with her. "That sounds nice...but that's 5 months away. Right now, I just want to concentrate on the now." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that. "So, who did you have lunch with? I know you weren't going to do it alone." I smiled and agreed with Gabby when she asked me that. "Boden, Walker and Kelly." Gabby agreed with me when I said that. "Right, they are still here with their boys." I nodded and agreed with Gabby when she told me that. "In fact, they are in the room next to us." That's when I heard Kelly at the door. "Just wanted to send our congratulations in person Gabby." Gabby then smiled. "Kelly, I'm smiling. But you wake up our girls and I'm cancelling the arranged marriages."
I looked down at Gabby when she said that. "Can you please not mention anything about my baby girls getting married this soon after they are born? Heck, let's at least get them home before we start dreaming of that." Gabby nodded and agreed with me when I told her that. "Hey Chief, do you want me to tell the firehouse what happened?" I looked up at Kelly when he asked me that and bit my lip. "Uhm, could you tell Herrmann? He can send the message around please." Kelly agreed with me when I asked him that. "I'll talk to Boden and make sure that I can take charge." I sighed when he said that. "Dude, I have newborn twin girls, my wife is tired...and she's semi-naked on my chest here in bed. Do we really have to talk about work now?"
Gabby smiled when I said that before going to kiss my chest softly. "You like it when I'm semi-naked on your chest don't you?" I nodded and agreed with Gabby when she asked me that. Going to look down into her eyes, I smiled before going to kiss her softly. Just taking it slow with her, I smiled because I was so grateful that she was okay and safe in my arms right now. "God, I am so comfortable right now." Gabby laughed and agreed with me when I told her that. "Of course you are...I'm semi-naked on your chest." I agreed with her when she said that before going to kiss her forehead softly. That's when I turned to look at Kelly and smiled at him. "How's your life as a dad going?" Kelly laughed when I asked him that. "We already spoke at lunch man."
I nodded and agreed with Kelly when he told me that, going to wrap my arm around Gabby's head before going to kiss her forehead softly. "Guess I'm a bit distracted." Gabby nodded and agreed with me when I said that, going to lay her head down on my chest more while she cuddled up to me and just listened to my heartbeat. "Do you guys want some alone time?" Gabby nodded when Kelly asked us that. "If that's okay Kelly...I promise that we can talk in a few days. Right now, I just need to digest what happened to me again." I agreed with Gabby when she said that, going to turn my head to look into her eyes. "You want to talk?" Gabby nodded when I asked her that. Turning to look at Kelly, I smiled at him. "Can you close the door?"
He agreed with me and just nodded when I asked him that. I then went to look at Gabby and took a breath once we were alone. That's when I felt Gabby just start to cry in my chest. Going to rub her back, I just knew that she was not doing good right now. "Hey, I'm right here. Just let it out babe." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that. "Matt, I'm scared. How did this happen again? How did I give birth to twins premature again?" I sighed when Gabby asked me that. "I don't know Gabby...and that's the honest truth." Gabby nodded and agreed with me when I said that, knowing that I wouldn't lie to her. "Gabby, all I know is that I am going to do everything in my power to get you and our girls home as soon as possible." Gabby agreed with me.
Going to rub Gabby's back, I tried to calm her down as much as I could. "And you mean it when you say that you're going to say here the entire time right?" I turned my head to look down at Gabby when she asked me that and nodded. "Hey, of course Gabby. Believe me when I say this...there is nowhere I Would rather be right now than here with you in bed. I want to hold you close to me so that I can make you feel better." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I told her that. Meanwhile, I went to kiss her forehead and just held her real close to me. I knew that Gabby was really scared after her last experience here with the boys...and I was not going to let history repeat itself. I am going to make sure that this goes much better for Gabby this time.
NOTE TO READERS: I know this was out of the blue but...I just wanted the girls here so that I was done with the kids. However, I am now going to do something I did in a previous story...more specifically, journal entries. That is how you are going to find out what happened at the hospital. However, there will also be a few chapters where I actually do a chapter like normal. Thanks again for reading and I hope you enjoy.
