Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.

A/N: Ok so this idea came from a friend of mine on twitter who wrote a little fic on Tumblr about a heat wave. I decided to write this three piece one-shot story about a heat wave in Chicago. And since I ship many couples across the three shows, I decided to write about my three favourite ones. So I know that not all my readers ship the same ones, and some of you don't ship them at all, you can either read these three chapters together OR individually. They stand alone but I put a few lines that kind of tie the timeline together for all three of them In case you read all three chapters. I hope you guys will like it. (Whichever version you choose)

Chicago had seen hot summers in the past but this one was proving to be one of the worst heat wave the city had seen in more than fifty years. Firehouse 51's apparatus doors were wide open and even though generous gusts of wind blew through the house, every able body was looking for a way to keep cool.

Matt walked through the bunk area and passed Sylvie on the way to his office. She was lying in bed, phone in hand and a fan sitting next to her cot, trying to stay cool too. He closed his door and took a seat at his desk, ignoring the person sitting in his cot.

"I swear, I'm just about ready to get out of here." Gabby exclaimed dramatically, lying down on the cot.

"It's almost over baby, we'll be going back to out a/c filled apartment." He chuckled, leaning down over some of his Captain paperwork that he had gotten behind on that week because of heat related calls all week.

"It can't end soon enough." She sighed, trying her best not to move, reducing her bodye energy as much as she could.

"Third watch is coming in." He could hear the commotion as the other shift made their way inside the firehouse. "Only a few minutes still." He put his pen down and turned to face his wife. "Go change out and we'll leave as soon as you're ready." He chuckled as she pulled herself up at lightning speed and rushed out of his door without another word.

"The a/c is working right?" She poked her head back in the office.

"Yeah, the a/c is working." He laughed, standing up and grabbing his own things. "Come on, let's go." He walked out behind her and they went out to change in the locker room.

"Oh my god, it's soooo hot outside." Sylvie lamented from the bench as she removed her shoes.

"You too huh?" Matt laughed as he looked at his wife's paartner.

"Come on Casey! Don't telll me that you can stand this heat. It's killing me."

"We've seen worst." He shrugged, closing his own locker shut. "Ready baby?" He asked as Gabby came back in his line of sight.

"Definitely. What's your plan today?"

"Heading over to your brother's house, where there is some a/c. Mine is broken."

"Yeah." She chuckled as she simply wrapped her arm around Matt and they both walked outside towards his truck.

The drive back home was quiet as Gabby enjoyed the cool air of the truck. She knew that it was only for a short while and that the one in the house would already be cool but she was more than grateful to step out of this scorching heat. It was one thing to live it while doing not much of anything but working for the fire department and having to be in hotter situations as a living was too much for her body to handle.

"So, what is the plan?" They sat a few minutes in the car before Matt turned the ugnition off.

"Sit on the couch, with a cold beer in hand and do NOTHING. Are you with me?"

"Oh, I'm definitely with you there." They both hurried out of the cold into the heat, wanting nothing more than to return to the cool of their place but as soon as they stepped inside, they were attacked by a bubble of heat.

"What the hell?" Gabby cursed as her chest constricted from the heat.

"It was working this morning." Matt said, remembering closing every window and making sure the cool air was coming out of the a/c unit, knowing it would be another scorching day in Chicago.

The two of them walked inside and Gabby, without another word, headed for their room for a fresh set of close and headed into a cold shower, knowing it was the only way that she'd stay cool today. Matt proceeded in looking the unit a once over, hoping to be able to fix it himself. When Gabby returned with a tiny tank top and boy shorts, Matt was still diligently working on the broken a/c.

"Any luck?" She questioned as she put a cold beer in his hand.

"No." He took a swig and let the cold liquid go down his throat. "And we can forget about getting someone here in the next couple of days. Every place I called said that they were totally swamped with calls."

"Great, I'm taking this outside." She huffed, leaving him there and going for the patio set and hopefully a breeze of some kind to prevent her from going totally insane. Matt gave up on the a/c about fifteen minutes later, sweat literally soaking his shirt. He took Gabby's lead and made it to the shower, the cold water the only thing to lower his body temperature. Goosebumps formed along his skin and although he hadn't really admitted it to anybody, the heat was killing him too. He stayed in there probably longer than he should have but he didn't really want to go back out in the heat but at the same time he didn't want to leave Gabby out there alone so he turned the tap off and dried off. He walked in their small seating area outside and he was thankful that they had a small patch of grass and the breeze that they seemed Lucky enough in this heat. His shorts were hanging low on his hips and he still had a little bit of water dripping down his chest and he simply leaned against the frame and watched Gabby. All he could see were her long, toned legs propped up against the furniture and the beer she had in her hands and it already tightened his shorts. He eyed the hose on his right and his smile turned into a smirk, an idea forming in his mind. He moved silently and turned the tap in hopes that she wouldn't notice but she was probably too hammered by the heat to move so he let the spray of water fly and waited. Gabby's yelp made him roar with laughter. "Matt Casey." She pushed herself down behind the chair she had just vacated.

"You said you couldn't stand the heat anymore, I thought I would help." He took his finger off the hose gun for a second before she poked her head out and he pressed on the button again.

"That's not what I meant." Gabby moved her face mere centermeters on the other side of the chair so she took take a better look at the way Matt was settled, trying to find a weakness in his plan. When she noticed that he was still shirtless, she took it as her cue to stand up, Matt hitting her square in the chest.

"Don't do that." Matt immediately stopped hosing her down, scared that he had hurt her with the powerful jet.

"Don't do what?" She walked slowly in his direction, her hips swaying with each step.

"Are you ok?" He lowered his hand as Gabby made it to him.

"Why wouldn't I be?" She pressed a hand against his chest gently.

"Because I could have hit you straight in the face." He ran his fingers through her hair.

"Well maybe you should be more careful where you aim next time." She raised herself on her toes and teasingly kissed him.

"I didn't mean to." His thoughts were already a mess and never saw her next move.

"And maybe I did." She had pulled the hose gun from his hand and effectivly soaked him.

"Gabriella Casey, you are going to get it." He took a step in her direction to take the hose back but she dodged out of the way and aimed at him again, making sure he was soaked through and through.

"How about you put your money where your mouth is Casey?" She yelled over the water.

"You're on." Without even realizing it, he had moved away from the tap of the hose so he had to figure out a way to get close to her again to at least be able to grab the hose from her hands. He finally eyed the cussions on the chair and his best option was to use it as a shield to make it closer to her. Gabby moved around to get in front of the problem and get to him with the water jet but he managed to get close enough to her to outweigh her against the brick wall of the building.

"Matt." She screamed as he pulled the hose from her hands, dropping it against the floor.

"We never said we had to play fair." He framed her body with his arms and towered over her, the two peering in each other's eyes.

"But Matt." She ran a finger against his torso, hoping to distract him.

"It's not going to work this time." He lowered himself so he was at eye level with her and his eyes looked her up and down, her body dripping with water and her clothes clinging to her body. "You look so hot when you're wet like that." He couldn't help his toungue from licking his lips.

"Do you want to do something about it?" She teased back, her eyes trained on his mouth. He didn't even answer, he let his lips do the talking instead. They found hers in a hungry kiss, his right hand snaking under her wet tank top, making her moan.

"How about we take this somewhere else?" She whispered as the warmth of his lips left hers.

"We wouldn't want to give the neighbours a show now would we?" He lifted her shirt over her taunt abs.

"That wouldn't be good at all." She kissed him again, pushing him towards the inside of their apartment.

"Absolutely awful." He pulled her tank over her head as they moved inside the doorframe. She was fumbling with his shorts as she moved forward towards the room, no regards for the heat that was inside, or the trail of water they were leaving behind. "Losing your touch?" He chuckled as the back of his knees hit the matress.

"I'll show you losing my touch." She growled playfully and pushed him on the matress. She positioned herself betweet his parted knees and placed kisses along his torso, her fingers expertly undoing his shorts. He closed his eyes at her touch, Trying to Keep his composure. He could never hold it together under her touch and he wasn't planning to in this particular moment. She reached inside and took his length in her hand, Matt sucking a breath in.

"Gabby." His voice was almost pleading as she started moving her hand in a toturous up and down motion, Matt bunching up the sheets with both hands.

"Shhh, that's what you get for getting your wife all soaked." She smirked against his abs as she places a butterfly kiss there. His hand stilled hers and pulled her towards him.

"I'll show you just how soaked I'll get you." He whispered against her lips as he flipped them around, pinning her under him. He kissed a trail down her jaw as his hands raised her shirt over her body. She arched her chest so he could move it higher and his lips found the skin between her breast as he pulled it over her head.

"Matt." Her body was filling with goosebumps as Matt bit down on her hip, his fingers curling around the waistband of her shorts.

"Don't say a word, just let yourself go." He kissed her skin as he lowered both her shorts and her panties, leaving her completely exposed under his breath. Gabby shuddered under his hot breath and abandonned herself to him. His fingers curled just where she loved it and his lips and teeth nipped at her flesh as he worked her up in anticipation of the two of them being joined together depite the heat. Their bodies were already covered in sweat as Matt entered her all the way to her core, making her moan and arch her back. They met thrust for thrust as Matt moved in and out of her with energy, never getting enough of his wife. He felt her walls clench around him and he bit down on her shoulder, sending her over the cliff, joining her a few moments later.

Matt settled his weight against her body, both their hearts thundering under their chests. "This was, amazing." She exhaled as he rolled on his side and puller her to him.

"Who knew a heat wave could be this fulfilling?" He struggled to catch his breath.

"It's easy when you have a hot husband like you." She traced fingers against his chest.

"I think the attraction is mutual." He chuckled as she tangled herself with him.

"Maybe this heat wave isn't so bad after all." She kissed his chest just as they heard a thud in the living room and the a/c fan turning on.

"Oh god some cold air." Matt exclaimed as he pulled her closer to him and pulled the covers over their bodies. Gabby tangled her legs with Matt and they let the cool air lower their body temperature and allowing them to get a good rest from theeir shift and one the worst heat wave Chicago had seen.
