Hitting Reset Season 6: The Pandemic Begins

Chapter 397

Meanwhile, with the Caseys as they stand in the bathroom:
Matt's POV: As I finished talking to Jay and Erin about the cabin, I just took a breath because me and Gabby were currently in the midst of doing something I never thought we would ever had to do again. What exactly am I talking about? Taking a pregnancy test. Gabby has been late recently and it's abnormal. And we are both scared. We do not think we can do 5 kids. And honestly, I really doubt it. That's when I felt Gabby walk out of the washroom because she was just too scared. "Babe, you okay?" Gabby just turned to look at me. "Matt, aren't you scared?" I sighed when she asked me that. "Gabby, of course I'm scared." Gabby just sighed and looked at me.

Gabby then took a breath and just went to stand at the end of our bed. "Matt, this is just crazy. We are talking about 5 kids." I agreed with her. "Within 2 years." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that and just sighed. "Matt, I'm scared." I agreed with her. "We've really gone fast aren't we?" Gabby agreed with me and just took a breath when I told her that. "Gabby, let's say we are pregnant...what do you want to do?" Gabby took a breath when I asked her that. "Matt, I would want to keep the baby. I can't do an abortion." I nodded and agreed with Gabby when she told me that. "I understand Gabby...and I would never make you do it." Gabby agreed with me.

"I would just hope that it'd be a single baby." I agreed with Gabby when she told me that. "Yeah, I can't do 6 kids. Heck, we can barely do 4 kids. It's hard." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that and just sighed. "Matt, I am just going to ask you a hypothetical...say you could go back and change things. Would you have rather we just have a single baby to start? And just take things slower?" I sighed when Gabby asked me that. "God, I hate that I am even thinking this. But it would've been so much easier. Heck, maybe we might not have had the girls." Gabby agreed with me when I said that and just took a breath. "God, I hate thinking about this. I'm sorry."

I shook my head when Gabby said that before going to get close to me. Going to wrap my arms around her, I went to go kiss the side of her head. "To tell you the truth, I have thought a few times about how much easier it might be." Gabby agreed with me when I told her that and just took a breath. Leaning back, I smiled as I went to kiss her softly. Taking it slow with her, I smiled because she is very beautiful right now. "Listen, do you want to think about this...or do you want to go back to packing?" Gabby laughed when I asked her that and just smiled. However, I couldn't help but think about the alternate version of our life that could've happened. Maybe it would've been easier on us.
