Chapter one: The Morning

Gabby woke up in the late morning feeling like everything was finally right in her world; she couldn't believe how alive she felt as she stretched her legs. She turned to the other side of her bed to find it empty; she immediately picked her head up off of the pillow and glanced around the room for him. Confusion begin to sweep over her, but once she heard some pots and pans moving around, the smile that was on her face when she woke up resumed it place. Gabby quickly threw on a pair of shorts and a hoodie and made her way into the kitchen.

"Morning," Gabby greeted as she made her way into the kitchen as Matt's back was to her.

"Morning," Matt smiled as he turned around with the pan of eggs in his hand. Gabby watched as he put some eggs on two separate plates. Matt put the pan back on the stove and then handed Gabby a plate.

Gabby thanked him and then took a bite of her breakfast, "Wow, a girl could get use to this," Gabby said as she took another bite.

Matt smiled, "that's the point."

Gabby looked down at her eggs as she smiled at Matt's words. "So did you want to ride to work together?" Gabby asked still finding this all new to her.

"I would be up for that," Matt said as he took another bite of his eggs.

The rest of breakfast, they enjoyed each other's company. They talked about their families, friends, and work. Gabby began putting cleaning up, but Matt insisted that he could do it and that she should get ready for work. Gabby thanked him and walked into the bathroom and starting to get ready for her day.

The drive to work was the best one Gabby ever had, her and Matt held hands the entire time and stole glances at one another. When they pulled up in front of the firehouse both of them was disappointed. Each one quietly opened their door and began their short decent into the firehouse.

"Hey guys!" Otis called out as him and Cruz came around the corner.

"Morning," Matt said as he casually made some distant himself from Gabby. "How are the living arrangements going?"

"Good," Otis said as he swung his bag around to the other side.

"Did you guys ride together?" Cruz asked.

"Um…" Matt began to say but nothing was coming to his mind.

"My car is in the shop and Matt offered to take me to work," Gabby quickly said hoping that it was a convincing enough story.

"Speaking of when will your car be ready?" Matt asked playing along.

"Probably tomorrow after shift," Gabby answered.

"Oh if you want I can give you a lift."

"That would be great," Gabby smiled as she looked at Matt, his eyes holding the same know as her's.

As Gabby put her things in her locker, she couldn't help but think of last night events playing in her mind. She had been waiting so long for Matt and now that it was here, her emotions were all over the place.

"So I meant this girl last night at the bar and she is really cute, but when she asked for my number I gave her the wrong one," Shay said as she took a seat on the open bench.

"What?" Gabby asked as she shut her locker.

"We're you not listening to me?"

"Of course I was," Gabby stated as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I gave this girl a wrong number," Shay repeated herself.

Before Gabby could ask why, the alarms sounded off, "Ambulance 61, Truck 81, and Squad 3 car accident on Wabash and State."

Gabby was thankful that they got the boy to the hospital when they did, she knew that if it would have taken just a few moments longer then he would not have made it. Shay pulled the rig into the garage and put it into park.

"What is up with you?" Shay asked as she looked over at her partner.

"Nothing," Gabby replied shrugging her shoulders.

"Something just seems different, you seem spacey."

"I just have a lot on my mind," Gabby said as she opened the door and put her feet on the hard ground. She walked into the break area with Shay hot on her heels; she knew that if she said too much she would give herself away. She went directly for the fresh coffee, hoping that Shay would let it go, but when she turned around Shay was directly behind her.

"Spill it."

"There is nothing to tell," Gabby said as she took a drink of the warm liquid. Shay rolled her eyes.

"Dawson," Capp said as he entered the break room, "there is a visitor here for you."

"Okay, thanks," Gabby said as she set her coffee mug down and moved around Shay. She could feel a pair of blue eyes on her as she made her way out of the room.

Gabby walked out onto the floor and knew immediately who it was, she wasn't quite sure what he wanted, but she thought she was very clear.

"Hey Jay," Gabby said as she approached him.

"Hey Gabby," He said. "How are things?"

"Things are going good. How are you?"

"I have been busy with work."

"Are you still doing undercover?" Gabby asked as crossed her arms and stood her ground.

"Yes and no. I work for the intelligence unit now. Didn't Antonio tell you?" he asked.

"Antonio doesn't say much about work anymore," Gabby replied still unsure of what Jay was doing here. Instead of beating around the bush Gabby just decided to answer him point blank, "What are you doing here?"

"I miss you," Jay stated as he watched her body tense up. "And I know why you thought things couldn't work out between us, but I thought may be we get try again."

Gabby took in a deep breath, "I with someone now."

"That was fast," he replied sounding surprised.

"I know it may seem like that," Gabby said.

"Well I guess I'll see you around," Jay said as he gave her smile and turned around before she could say anything. As she watched him walk down the drive, her phone sounded off in her pocket.

She saw that she had a text from Matt, You need to report to my office. Gabby smiled as she read the text again. She looked up from her phone to see Jay driving off. She quickly went back inside and went straight for Matt's office.

When she reached the closed door she noticed all the blinds were closed, she looked around to see if anyone was around and then she opened the door. Matt was sitting on his bed waiting for her.

"It took you long enough," he stated with a smirk as she made her way to him.

"Well if I would have run here, it would have brought some unwanted attention," Gabby replied as her lips crashed into Matt's. Matt quickly responded by pulling Gabby's body on to his. As Gabby moved her hips in a grinding motion she could feel Matt's excitement through her clothes.

"I have missed you," Matt said as he nibbled down her neck.

"I can tell," Gabby replied as she closed her eyes.

"So who was your visitor?" Matt asked as he moved his hands down to Gabby's belt and began to pull her shirt up.

"No one for you to worry about," Gabby answered as she sat up and lifted her arms high so that Matt could finish pulling off her shirt.

Author's note: So I have had this idea in my head for the last couple of days and so I thought that I would see where this would go. I hope you all like and please let me know. Thanks!
