Chapter 62

Matt's POV: As I walk out of the washroom after taking (another) shower, I smirked as I looked at Gabby as she sat down in bed with Marcus and breastfed him for the first time since he became our son. "Ok, I think we need to really calm down now that we have 2 kids." Looking up at me, Gabby laughed and smiled when I told her that. "Last time I checked, you were the one who initiated that." I smiled and agreed with her. "It was a celebration." Gabby agreed with me when I said that and smiled as she looked down at Marcus. "He's already taking to me. Really easy."

I smiled when she said that. "I'm glad. You want me to grab Sofia?" Gabby sook her head. "Just the three of us for right now." I nodded and smiled when Gabby told me that because I already liked that idea. "Sounds good." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I told her that. Going to walk up to bed, I went to open the covers (again) and then went to sit down next to her and Marcus. Meanwhile, she rolled over a bit so that she was facing me. God, I am going to like this. Sitting down comfortably next to her and Marcus, I slipped down and then closed the covers.

"I'll get Sofia when she wakes up ok? You just stay here and relax." Gabby smiled when I said that, nodding before turning her attention back to Marcus. Meanwhile, I went to kiss her forehead and just smiled because of how happy I was right now. This was perfect...me, Gabby and our son in bed together. I've always wanted to be a dad but...I didn't expect it to happen this fast. "I can feed Sofia after if you want. Or are you going to breastfeed her too?" Gabby bit her lip when I asked her that. "I'm not sure yet to tell you the truth. That'd be a lot of work no?"

I shrugged when Gabby asked me that. "Gabby, it's your choice as to whether you want to breastfeed her okay? I'm not going to make the choice for you." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I told her that. She then proceeded to lean up and just smiled as she went to kiss me softly. Taking it slow with her as I put my hand on her leg, I smiled and just looked down at Marcus while going to kiss his forehead softly. "Hi Marcus, welcome to the family." Gabby smiled when I said that. "You text your sister yet?" I bit my lip. "God, we really need to talk to them."

I nodded and agreed with Gabby when she told me that, going to kiss her forehead again as we both held each other close. "I'm just glad that we're both really comfortable right now." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I told her that. "Extremely comfortable." I smiled as I went to look down into her eyes before going to kiss her again. Taking it nice and slow with her, I smiled because I was really happy right now. "God, I love you so much." Gabby just agreed with me when I told her that and smiled. "I love you too. More than anything in the entire world."

I agreed with her when she told me that before going to kiss her forehead again. "Even more than our kids?" Gabby nodded and smiled when I asked her that. "Yes, even more than our kids. You're the one who gives me kids after all." I smiled and agreed with her. "Well, with the exception of Marcus here." That's when I heard somebody at the door. "Who's Marcus?" Turning my head, I smiled when I saw it was Stella. "Hey girl, what are you doing here?" Stella laughed. "Kelly called me and said you had another baby? I called the hospital to come visit."

I nodded and agreed with Stella when she said that. "Sorry for what I'm wearing." She shook her head. "It's ok. You're in the hospital. You mind if I come in and talk to my girl for a bit?" I shook my head. "Come in...and let uncle Matt hold lil' Andy." Gabby turned to look at me when I said that. "If you want to hold a baby, get Sofia." I shook my head. "She's asleep." Gabby nodded and smiled. Meanwhile, Stella went to walk over to the recliner we had in here. "Anyways, I have to feed Andy. So, you guys want to tell me why exactly you're feeding another baby?"

Gabby smiled when Stella asked. "So, this was a baby that Matt saved today...he went on a run. Both of his parents died in a fire." Stella was shocked when Gabby said that. "Oh god, is Marcus ok?" We both agreed when she asked us that. "Yes, he's fine. But, we're going to take him in as our second of three children." Gabby smiled when I said that. "Yes, we are still going to go for more kids later on." Stella agreed with Gabby when she said that. "Well of course you are going to, you love your husband after all." I smiled and agreed with her. "Yes, she does."

Gabby then laughed and blushed when I said that before going to grab my hand, Looking at her, I smiled because we were both really happy. "So, you have 2 kids now." I nodded and agreed with her. "Yeah. It's great though. Means I get a bunch more time at home with Gabby." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I said that. "I'm just hoping that we can get out of here tomorrow. I want to be home in my bed again." I shook my head. "They said it might be a few days before we can take him home." Gabby shook her head. "No, that's because of the adoption."

Stella smiled when Gabby said that. "When does the adoption go through?" Gabby then laughed. "Actually, according to the law...he's our biological child." Stella was confused when Gabby said that. "Okay, how does that work? Last time I checked, you didn't give birth to him." I nodded and agreed with her. "We were the ones who signed his birth certificate. So in the eyes of the law, we are his birth parents...and the only people in the world who have the right to be called his parents." Going to kiss Gabby's forehead, I just smiled at the sound of that.

Stella then smiled at the both of us. "Well, that just sounds great. By the way, what does this mean for work?" I smiled. "I just got an e-mail from Boden. He's going to give me a double paternity leave. I'm out until the end of the year. Then, I go back to OFI for a bit in January." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I said that. "I love that idea. That sounds perfect." I nodded and just smiled when Gabby told me that before going to grab her hand. I then went to intertwine our fingers and smiled as I went to take it nice and slow with her.

"Okay, break it up you two. I'm not here to watch you make out with each other. Heck, I still don't like the idea of you just sitting down in bed while you're just wearing your boxers. But I know that you guys need to be comfortable right now and that's what matters." Gabby smiled and agreed with Stella when she said that. "Thanks girl." I smiled and agreed with Stella when she said that because I felt the same way. "Yeah, thanks Stella...we really appreciate that." Stella nodded and smiled. "Anyways, I would be doing the same thing if I was relaxing in bed."

I smiled and agreed with her when she said that. "So, how long are you guys staying here?" I smiled as I turned to look at Gabby. "Not sure. All I know is that we're going to be here for at least a night, maybe two nights." Gabby agreed with me. "But if we can get out of here sooner, then we will. However, we do not want any visitors yet. Marcus is pretty shy." That's when I heard Maggie come in. "Actually, I've been sent up to tell you guys that you guys can leave now if you guys want to." Turning my head, I was shocked. "Really?" She agreed and smiled.

"Yes. But you guys need to take it easy. You guys have two kids now. You might need to get another crib." Gabby agreed and sighed. "And we need to get a bunch of stuff for a boy." That's when we heard Antonio. "Actually, I may have done that for you guys." I just looked at him when he said that. "You did?" Antonio agreed and smiled. "Well, Jay and Erin did." I smiled when he said that. "God, you guys are the best." Gabby smiled and agreed with me when I said that. "We're just going to have to swap you guys to stuff for twins." I agreed and smiled.

"That sounds great. But actually, I have to go get dressed if that's ok?" That's when Antonio realized that I was just wearing my boxers "Oh, ok." I nodded and laughed when he said that. Going to get up, I went to walk over to our bags so that I can grab some clothes and get dressed so that we can take our family home. "So, we have everything for a baby at home?" Antonio shook his head. "Just a bit. You need to go shopping." I agreed with him. "I'm sure we can use some of Sofia's white onesies." Gabby agreed with me when I said that and smiled at me.

"Maybe we stop and get some diapers on our way home?" Antonio then went to speak up. "Want me to get them for you? You guys just head home and get your kids home." I nodded and agreed with Antonio. "Uhm, okay...question for a cop. Can you let Gabby carry the baby for the first ride home?" Antonio shook his head. "Uhm, I will help you guys out. I promise." I nodded and agreed with him. "Can you get our things? I need to be home right now." He agreed with me and smiled. "Does that mean I can come over tonight?" I bit my lip. "Gabby, can Antonio take you home?"

Gabby looked at me when I said that. "Why baby?" I took a breath and sighed. "I can go get things for Marcus." Stella then went to speak up. "I can go home with you girl. We can take care of our kids together. Maybe I can stay over and have dinner with you?" I shook my head. "Stella, we're just going to rest in bed with our kids." Stella agreed with me when I said that, realizing that. "Right, of course." I smiled and agreed with her when she told me that. "Thanks for understanding. Now, I'm going to get dressed. Then we can all get our of here."

Gabby agreed with me when I said that and smiled at me.
