Thank you so much for all your response on the first chapter and I am so glad you like the idea of this story. I know I was only going to post the first chapter until Pink and Blue makes purple was over but I just really wanted to write and update the second chapter. I hope you will enjoy this chapter as well…and will see if the next chapter comes before the end of Pink and Blue makes purple. Please do leave a review with what you think.
Matt and Gabby walked into the hospital after shift. He held her hand and thought about the time they had been in here so many times the past few months.
''Hey, let's buy something.'' Gabby said then, pointing at the gift shop and they walked in. Matt was looking at some plushies while Gabby came walking back with a little pink blanket.
''How do you know it is a girl?'' Matt asked then. After the little girl had been brought to the hospital by the ambulance, he had not seen the baby anymore and now they were here to see how the baby was doing. Something they didn't usually do but there was something about this baby…the baby was so alone in this world and he needed to make sure she was okay.
''I took care of her. It's a girl.'' Gabby smirked then, patting him on his head. ''You are getting more stupid with the day.'' She smirked then and kissed him on his cheek.
''That is because your prettiness is killing my brain cells.'' He said then and kneeled down and picked up the Mickey Mouse plushy.
''I thought a bear might be nice.'' Gabby said then, pointing at the bear and he looked at the other plushy in his hand.
''That looks like the one we bought for –''
''You are right, Mickey is fine.'' She said, laid her hand on his back as they walked to the counter. They paid for the gifts and were brought to the pediatric floor then and to the room the baby was in Matt had saved on the call.
She laid in the crib, looking at them with her big brown eyes. Matt and Gabby stood by the crib and Gabby laid the blanket over the edge of the crib, looking at the little girl and she glad that the girl was okay.
The little girl stretched her arms out as Matt handed the plushy to her and she took it in her arms. He was so happy he was able to save her.
''Gabby, this could be our chance to be parents.'' He said then, looking at the little baby. They had wanted a baby so bad and after trying for half a year, they still were not pregnant. As they went to the doctor, it turned out that Matt wasn't fertile enough. His sperm wasn't strong enough, it was slow and he hated it, because he really wanted a baby with her. They had kept on trying and trying though. Then, finally -
''I want a baby of our own.'' She said then, looking at him, disrupting his thoughts. It was not this baby's fault and this baby deserved a good home. Matt took the tiny hand of the girl in his hand.
''You are the first ones to visit her.'' The nurse said as she smiled at Matt and Gabby.
''She is doing pretty well. She will be able to go with child support really soon.'' The nurse said, looking at the little girl in the trip, that was holding on to Matt's finger and he hoped this little girl would be okay.
''How old is she?'' Matt asked then, looking at the nurse.
''We think she is about 8 months. But we are not sure, it is hard to tell.'' She said. The little baby kept looking at Matt and Gabby, holding the little plushy and the nurse looked at them.
''Maybe you want to hold her?''
''She is not our baby.''
''She is nobody's, but she still wants to be hugged and loved.'' The nurse said and she lifted the girl out of the bed. Matt took her in his arms and held her. Gabby caressed the little girl through her hair as Matt held her.
''You are the firefighter and the EMT that saved her, right?'' The nurse asked then.
''Yes.'' Gabby said, nodding.
''She really seems to love you.'' The woman said then as the little girl was grabbing Gabby's hair.
''She still needs a name. Since she has no papers…and her parents are gone…all we can do now is give her a name and I think the firefighter and EMT that saved her should think of one.''
Gabby looked at the ground. Thinking about a name.
''Ember.'' Matt said then.
''Amber?'' The nurse asked.''
''No, Ember. With an E.'' Matt said then and Gabby shook her head.
''That is not a good name, Matt. Just call her Amber then.''
''No, Ember. Ember because she was found in a fire, because she seems like a powerful girl that can start a fire.'' He said then and Gabby nodded then.
''I think Ember is a nice name.'' The nurse said and as visiting hour was over, they had to leave the girl behind again and headed home.
''I finally felt like a parent, holding Ember.'' Matt said then, walking into their home and they sat down in the living room, sitting on the couch together, looking at the row of pictures on the dresses. The little picture that showed a picture of an ultrasound.
''We could have had a kid by now…but…'' Gabby said then.
''You say this is my fault?''
''The doctor said you are the infertile-''
''I am not infertile.'' Matt said then, looking down at the ground, knew she was sort of right. It was his fault it was harder for them to get pregnant.
''You know Elli's death had nothing to do with my condition.'' He said then, angry.
''Don't you think I blame myself every day! You don't have to rub it in.'' She said then, looking at the small picture on the dresser.
''I am sorry babe.'' He said then, looking at the ground and looked up at her again.
''You shouldn't blame yourself, none of us is to blame for what happened.'' He said then, kissing her on her cheek and she looked at him.
''Maybe we should think about this one more time. I want to start a family with you and if we can't start one because of me, I think that we should adopt this girl.'' Matt said then and she nodded, slowly.
''I want to think about it first.'' She said.
''It is not just something you can decide within a few days. I know. Think about it.'' Matt said then.
''You seem so sure.'' She asked, laying her head against his chest.
''I think we would be great parents. That this an opportunity to have a baby…even if not our own. The little girl deserves a nice home…loving parents.'' He said, holding her and she nodded.
''We can both think about it.'' She said then, holding him, hoping they would have their own little family one day.
NOTE: Gabby and Matt visited the little baby he saved in the hospital and she is doing fine. They bought gifts for the little girl and even were allowed to pick a name for the girl and they called her Ember. We also got a little insight on their problem, that Matt has problems with his fertility and….who is Elli?
Thank so much again for all the reviews on the previous chapter and that you liked this chapter as well and that you will also leave a review on this one because I really wonder what you are thinking about this story. Do you think the storyline with Matt and Gabby's problem is good enough or not? Really wondering what you think about this and hope you will keep following. Thank you again!
