She was currently in bed with her husband, laying down in his arms as they cuddled up to each other. With her arms wrapped tight around his torso as she tried to concentrate on the movie that she and Matt were watching, supposedly together; but the truth was, she couldn't think about anything other than what she learned over the day. The things that she learned about her best friend, about the fact that she miscarried their first child. She knew that pain all too well, and she couldn't help but think about the memories the came with the idea of a miscarriage. More specifically, the pain that came with remembering that they lost their first child. And Matt knew that, he knew that his wife was hurting at the moment as she was thinking about the fact that they lost a child together; which was the exact reason why he made a promise to Gabby that they would just hold each other tonight, and that he wouldn't try anything with her this evening.

And she appreciated that, as it allowed her to do what she wanted to do tonight. She wanted to think about her best friend, and how she could help her; which was something that she was going to do regardless of whether they were just holding each other like this in bed, or if they were making love to each other in bed. So, that was why she asked Matt to not have sex tonight. If she was having sex with her husband, she wanted all of her attention to be on him rather than anybody (or anything) else; and that turned up to be the case, as you are very well aware of since we already told you what Gabby is thinking about at the moment. She's thinking about her best friend, and her boyfriend. But what Gabby didn't know, was that Matt was thinking about the same thing. He was thinking about Kelly and Stella right now, and how much he's really hurting for the both of them right now. Taking a breath, Matt looked down at his wife and just knew that she was doing it.

He knew that she was thinking about the same thing as him, so that was what they were going to talk about at the moment; which required him to pause the movie so that he could talk to her, while continuing to lay down with her on his chest like this. Well, not exactly ON his chest; she's just on his chest as much as she can, and that was due to the fact that she was pregnant with their twins. But that was not what he was thinking about right now, as he was concentrating on making sure that he and Gabby spoke about this before they fell asleep in each other's arms. He just wanted to talk to her, and made sure that they relaxed with each other this evening. Looking at his girl, Matt ran his hand up and down her back while whispering to her. "Hey, you want to talk tonight?" Gabby took a breath as her husband asked her whether she wanted to talk right now, well aware that he knew the exact thing that she was thinking about at the moment; their best friends.

"Having gone through this in the past, I just feel so bad for the both of them." Matt agreed with his beautiful wife when she said that, pressing his lips to her forehead as they both held each other close. This is exactly what they both needed to do at the moment, and they just needed to relax with each other as they spoke about this before they headed to bed this evening; as if they didn't speak about it, she was just going to think about it all night. "And I hate that there's nothing that we can do to fix this. I hate that we can't do anything to help them, when I want to do just that. I want to help her more than anything in the entire world." Matt knew that was the truth the moment it came out of Gabby's mouth, taking a breath as he went ahead and pressed another kiss to her forehead this evening as a way to get his wife to calm down; after all, that was what she always needed to do when they laid down in bed together at night before they fell asleep.
