Hey! This is a new short Dawsey story about their relationship at the job and the difficulties with that. I am planning on 5 chapters but if you really enjoy it I will see if I can expand it. Anyway, please do enjoy the first chapter and do let me know what you think while you are done reading so I know if you want more!


Truck 81 rushed to a scene they were called for. There was a house fire they were called for and the truck stopped by the scene then, all of them jumping out and Gabby looked at Matt as he jumped off the truck. Even though she was very professional at the job she did get a bit warm inside when she saw him jumping of the truck, ready to save people and lead.

After his orders they ran in and she helped getting the couple outside and she walked with the mother, helping her to a gurney when the woman pulled her jacket.

''My little girl is in there!'' She said with a raspy voice because of the smoke.

''Casey, we might still have a victim inside there.'' Boden said over the radio.

''On it.'' Casey replied over the radio as he was the last one in there. Mouch and Jimmy were venting the roof, Gabby and Herrmann already outside an Otis on ladders so he knew that it was on him to find the child. He searched around the house, the flames and smoke getting worse.

''Casey, the smoke is turning black, get out there!'' Boden ordered as Matt was almost at the door with a name plate with a girl's name on it.

''My little girl is still in there!'' The mom cried and Matt jolted towards the door.

''Casey!'' Boden yelled over the radio. ''Get out of there.''

''I am almost at her room.'' Gabby heard as she stood close to Boden over the radio. The smoke was turning black and while everybody else from truck was out and save, Matt was still in there and it made her so scared. She tried not to worry about him because it was the job and she was used to working with him. He was a good lieutenant and firefighter but it still worried her. Just because she loved him.

Gabby sighed so relieved when Matt came running out, carrying the little girl in his arms and he put her on a stretcher, grabbing his mask of then and she ran his way.

''Casey, are you okay?'' She asked as she didn't want to yell his first name on the job. He looked up at her and nodded and grateful took the bottle of water that she handed him.

''I am fine.'' He said then and they walked back to the truck soon, going back to the firehouse and he was writing his report in his office when Gabby knocked on the door and walked in.

''Hey, I don't want to disturb you, I just wanted to check if you are okay.'' She said concerned and he turned his chair, smiling at her.

''I am really okay, I promise.'' He said then, ''I just stayed in the building a bit longer...but Brett said the girl was doing relatively well when she arrived at the hospital so I just hope that is okay.''

''Okay, I was just a bit concerned...and really scared while you are in there.'' She said then as she was still leaning in the doorway.

''I know, but it's the job.'' He said a bit annoyed and she nodded, didn't want to get in a discussion with him, especially since he still was her lieutenant and since he still was her superior on the job and she didn't want to get in trouble over that. That was why she was careful with talking back at him and getting into discussion. Because of their relationship they were more emotional together and that just ended in discussions sometimes.

''Okay, shift is almost over.'' She said then and he smiled at her as she closed the door and he finished the report and when shift was over they went home.

At home he kissed her, laying his arm around her, kissing her in her neck.

''Matt!'' She chuckled.

''What, we are not at the firehouse anymore. I can kiss you all I want now!'' He smiled and he took her bag then, walking to the laundry and he put their uniforms in the laundry while she was making a late breakfast for the both of them. He sat down, starving for breakfast and he would just take a shower after this, going to his construction job then. He had been asked to help with fixing the roof of a shed and even though he had wanted to keep this day off, they had offered good money and he and Gabby wanted to get some stuff done in their own apartment, so he gladly took the job.

''Hmm, how late will you be done?'' She asked as she caressed his hand as they were having breakfast.

''I think I should be home about three, shouldn't be too long of a job so we could do something fun tonight?'' He smiled then and she nodded.

''That sounds good. I will clean the house and do some groceries - anything you want me to bring?'' She asked then as she walked to the broad roaster to grab the toast that was done now.

''Hmmm...can you bring some smoked salmon for my sandwich? To take for lunch tomorrow?'' He asked as he had another construction job and she smiled.

''Sure, no problem...will also take the cream cheese and lettuce.''

''You are amazing!'' he smiled then and they finished breakfast and Matt got up to shower so he could leave soon.

''Let me join you.'' She smiled then and they went into the shower together, cuddling and she had her hair against his chest.

''So what do you want to do tonight? I am going to take you out, but want to do something you like.'' He smiled as he kissed her on top of her head.

''Hmmm...just being with you is fine.'' She said then and he sighed.

''You are making it hard woman - alright how about we go to your favorite Mexican restaurant and go to the cinema then? Any movie you want to see?''

''That sounds amazing...yeah there is a movie I want to see.'' She admitted and he put the shower out as he really had to get going.

''Sounds good.'' He said and they got out of the shower, Matt wrapping his arms with a towel around her.

''Hmmm I wish I could stay with you all day.'' He sighed then ''but tonight is our night.''

''Yes!'' She smiled and he smiled back but also saw that something was off.

''What is wrong?'' He asked then as she looked at him with a frown.

''I am just a bit angry that you were so reckless on the job today.'' She admitted then and he sighed.

''Really, Gabby? We talked about it!'' He said angry as he got dressed.

''I am just scared to lose you or that you get hurt!'' She said.

''Gabby, if I hadn't gotten in there, the girl would have died and I knew I was going to get out in time!'' He said as he pulled his pants up and got his shirt on.

''You never know Matt. What if something would have gone wrong!'' She said then as he walked past her, to the kitchen as he grabbed his stuff together.

''Don't ignore me Matt, I am just concerned about you.'' She said as she was a bit angry because of his response because all she tried to say was that she didn't want to lose him and when he was doing dangerous rescues like that, she was just so scared something could happen to him. Maybe she shouldn't tell him again but all she wanted was to keep saying that she cared about him and he should be careful.

''Stop it Gabby! I am not trying to kill myself, I was doing my job and if you don't mind I am going to do that now again!'' He said angry as he grabbed a bottle of juice from the fridge.

''Whatever!'' She said then and angry he walked towards the door.

''Bye!'' She yelled angry as the door closed and upset she threw the dishes in the sink, cursing something as she angry. But all of the angry only came from love and concerns.
