Chapter Two:
She kept on contemplating if calling him was a good idea. She doesn't know if he could help her in anyway but she had no one else now. She wanted to return home, she wanted to create the life she had always pictured for herself after High School. She just needed to hear his voice, needed to tell him she needs his help. The phone rung for a few seconds until she heard an all too familiar voice and instantly her eyes teared up and memories from the past came crashing back. "Antonio I need your help."
Walking up to the Firehouse she felt her stomach tie themselves into knots. It has almost been six months since her last stable job at a Firehouse, her old Chief has been very supportive of her decision to move back to Chicago and right away made calls to help her get in an Firehouse he found she would fit in instantly. Walking up she saw two rather tallish guys bittering about this month's rent, when half way through a sentence the more tanner guy just stopped and stared. " Can you guys point me in the direction of Chief Boden's office please?" "And you are" one of them asked rudely with a shy grin to their face. "Gabriela Dawson new PIC of Ambulance 61 and you must be..." "I'm Brian Zvonecek" he said with a straight face. "Just call him Otis none of us can say it either and plus the CFD knows him as Otis. Very nice to meet you Dawson i'm Cruz, Joe Cruz to be exact." " Me too Otis , Cruz that can't be to hard to forget right?" a little chuckle left her lips. " I will take you- " " Gabby or Dawson is fine unless your like a Chief or Commander" We all laugh at the same time. "Okay well here you go Dawson I guess we will be seeing you around" She knocked on the door and within a instance she was approved but a large hand waving her in. " You must be Gabriela Dawson. Chief Turner has told me to expect high things from you" He said as he shook my hand. " Yes Sir I will live up to your expectations of a female PIC" "Great wait here while I find you partner to give you a tour and one my thing, don't call me Sir it makes me feel old" With a little laugh she replied with " Of course Chief" and with that he had disappeared leaving her by herself. "Gabriela this is your partner Leslie Shay, Leslie Shay this is your new PIC Gabriela Dawson" With a few handshakes and hellos the two ladies got up and started their tour.
" Shay. Everyone calls me Shay" "Gabby or Dawson not Gabriela it makes me feel like I am always in trouble " Within a few minutes they had finished the tour and had resided back in the Common Room where everyone was hanging. " Guys this is the new PIC Gabriela Dawson. SO over there is Christopher Hermann, Otis, Cruz , Peter Mills, Mouch" "Mouch?" "Half Man Half Couch and the Truck Lieutenant is somewhere in the Firehouse" "Okay Hi " "Over there is the Squad 3 guys, Capp,Tony,Clarke and yeah that's the house except for the Lieutenants which you can met later. Did you see that Boys Gabby is a women not a male which means you owe me 50 all of YOU" Shay said proudly while Gabby gave her a confused look " All my last partners have been Male and all of these guys thought they would be another guy so we made a bet to see who I would get. Not is it really good I got a girl but I have heard a lot of good things about you so that is a plus "
" Severide, Casey this is our new PIC Gabriela Dawson. Dawson this is Lieutenant Severide of Squad and Lieutenant Casey of Truck." "Hi Dawson just a heads up don't go out drinking with Severide it never ends good" " I will take that into consideration" "Well I wish we could sit around her and talk about our periods but some of us have to do inventory so come on Gabby let's teach you how 61 does Inventory." And without another word Shay pulled Gabby away from the two Lieutenants and headed towards the back of the Ambulance.
"So did you see the way Casey was looking at you ? He is so into you and-" " Shay I have just gotten out of a pretty bad relationship and just started to get my life back on track I don't think having a fling with a co-worker is at the top of my to-do list right now. I just want to focus on myself and try to put my life back together" "Yeah of course you can tell Casey that though. We should get breakfast once shift is over. I know this really good place down from 51 called-" "Winnie's?" "Yes yes yes how did you know that?" "My Dad was a detective like Antonio over in Intelligence and Mom was a Nurse over at Chicago Med so whenever one of them was working later or doing night shift they would always make sure we had breakfast together like we used to we Antonio used to live with us" "Do you guys still do that as a family? I mean have breakfast together?" " Not anymore they uh uh passed away a few years back, well really a decade ago." "Sorry to hear that Gabs" "They were the reason I became a Paramedic in the first place, whenever Mum had the free time she would lean me her study books from medicine school and help me anyway she could. They were both really supported of my decision and helped me anyway they could." "They would have been really proud of you Gabby" " I moved to Indiana or morely I ran away to Indiana with my boyfriend at the time Ryder, it was good for the first six months and then things went sour but I always told myself that he would treat me right and he didn't mean what he said, so I stayed for a whole ten years and then I got the balls and pack everything up and came back home. I really don't know how me telling you about my personal experiences with Winnie's turned into my life story. Sorry about that." "It's okay Gabs I know how you feel. Maybe not the exact same but similarish.
A few days had passed since starting at Firehouse 51 and Gabby has made a wonderful group friends mixed of Firefighters, Officers and even some Doctors over at Chicago Med. She can now say she is very happy with her decision the have had left Indiana and come back home to Chicago. "Tonio I told Hermann and Otis I would help out in the bar tonight, will you be coming over to Molly's tonight or do you plan on carrying on being a traitor and heading over to Game Day?" "Gabriela that was a one time thing and you know it" " So I guess I will see you around 9. Love You Tonio" and with that she lent down kissed him on the cheek and disappeared.
" Hot stuff give me your ass-I mean beer" a random stranger asked. "Here's your ass- I mean beer drink it's called water and it's also the closer thing you have to touching my ass pervert! Enjoy the night" She hadn't realized the Matt had watched the entire encounter she had with a drunken customer who had gotten just a little close to comfort. "You really know how send them lads running" "Oh what do I have the honor to serve the one and only Matthew Casey. What do you want?" She starts to grin widely. "Surprise me Dawson" A few minutes later she arrives back with twos beers which hasn't been stocked in Molly's before. " Hermann order them in from somewhere and since he is to much of a chicken to try them himself who is better at judging things like myself and who likes alcohol as much again myself but you will do" "If I didn't now any better I would think that is a compliment" " Don't flatter yourself Casey, it was a compliment just not for you. So drink up I have people to serve" With a few gulps they both mirrored the same look the other had which a scrunched up with disgust to the liquid that had came in contact with their taste buds.
A few hours later Matt and Gabby were locking up Molly's. " So Dawson I was wondering if you are going to the CFD/PD barbecue this weekend?" "Uhmm yeah I thin I was why?" "Well I was wondering if you wanted to go with me. If you didn't already have a date?" "Yeah you sure you can handle me. According to some I can be really judgie and apparently I am a total bitch when I am drunk" She winked at him as they turned the lights off and headed towards the back door where Matt held it open for her. "Gabby you don't think I was actually asking you out do you, I thought with all the hot Cops around you could get quite envy and wished you would have said yes to that drink with me?" " What drink?" "A drink with me after the barbecue but if want me to go off with a hot cop for our drink that's cool as well." "Casey it's just going to be a pity drink though" With that Gabby leaned up on her tip toes and kissed his cheeks."Goodnight Casey see you at work" "Night Dawson"
