Matt heard a knock on the door and when he answered it was a very crabby looking Gabby, "Hey come on in, Is everything ok?"

Gabby shook her head as she said ," It's been a rough morning with all of the morning sickness."

"Can I get you anything?" Matt asked as he watched Gabby.

"No, so is Kelly around I thought maybe we could talk about the baby and us." Gabby asked glancing around the apartment.

Matt rubbed the back of his head nervously, "No Kelly isn't here. But about that I actually talked to Kelly and told him about the pregnancy when we fixed the floor the other day."

Gabby turned red faced, "Matt, I thought we were keeping this between us for right not. My parents don't even know about the baby. The only one I told is Antonio. Seriously you should have checked with me first."

Matt stood silent for a moment a little taken aback but continued to listen to Gabby who said defensively as her arms crossed over her chest, "Dammit I wanted to sort us out before everyone knew."

At this point Matt answered loudly right back at her frustrated by her reaction since he had replaced the floor so quickly to make her more comfortable here, "Look, I needed to talk to someone about the pregnancy ok? Christine is still getting over her divorces and I can't talk to you either. Besides Kelly is my roommate and he isn't going to go blabbing around 51."

Gabby felt like Matt punched her in the gut since she used to be the one he talked to . However, she had left and therefore had no right to expect anything from Matt. Gabby spun on her heels and headed for the door as quickly as her feet could carry her. "I think we should just talk another time. I can't do this right now."

Matt let out a deep breath and counted silently and put a hand on Gabby's shoulder, "Gabby, come on, I'd like to talk now. I'm sorry but I just needed a guy to talk to. This is all new territory for me too. I am just trying to do my best for you and our baby."

Gabby turned with tears in her eyes, "Look I am sorry too. It's just that I thought we had things figured out from before . We were in a good place as friends and now I am not sure about anything. Don't get me wrong I mean I don't expect anything from you as far as me or us. I mean we were in such a good place before all of this."

Matt let his face remain unreadable but he was taken by surprise at Gabby's last comment. He wanted to maybe see how things worked out for them again. However, Gabby was emotional and Matt decided to just let the comment go for now. But if he spoke what ran through his mind now Matt missed Gabby in every way. Having her here again only reminded him of what they had lost when Gabby left. He missed her being there when he got up in the morning and their pillow talk after a long shift. But right now he brushed that fact aside since he didn't' want to pressure her with anything right now.

"Gabby, right now it's important for me that you and this baby stay safe and that you have a healthy pregnancy." Matt said as he saw a tear run down Gabby's face. He reached over and wiped the tear from her cheek and then tucked a hair that was in her face behind her ear. Right then Matt had the urge to pull her into a hug but the door opened and Kelly walked in.

"Hey guys," Kelly greeted Gabby and Matt as he walked past them to get something to drink. He glanced at them both and thought about how stubborn both of them were. He secretly wished that Shay were here to kick them both in the ass. He had offered his own advice the other day to Matt about giving things another try with Gabby. Beyond that Severide decided to stay out of their way and let them decide what to do next for themselves.

As he opened the refrigerator he saw Gabby turn pale, "Oh my god what is that horrible smell?"

Kelly looked and saw the left over Chinese food sitting in the refrigerator said as he tried to quickly shut the door, "Oops, sorry it's left over Chinese food."

Gabby turned pale again and headed to the bathroom as she covered her mouth with her hands, "Oh my God, please let me make it to the bathroom."

Kelly looked at Matt as he grabbed the leftover food and said, "You go take care of her and I'll get rid of the food."

Matt headed down the hall and entered the bathroom as he watched Gabby depositing the meager contents of her stomach into the toilet. He reached her side and held her hair back for her. After a few minutes Gabby sat down on the edge of the bathtub looking shaky and pale. Matt went to the sink and got her a damp rag to wipe her mouth.

"Have you been getting this sick all of the time? I mean is this normal?" Matt asked with a worried expression as he watched Gabby.

"I know Laura got really sick when she was pregnant with the twins? But I don't know but I will talk to the doctor when we go for our visit. I am a little disappointed it got postponed, I really want to see her." Gabby answered as she wiped her face with a cold rag.

"So have you and pickles had any cravings yet?" Matt grinned trying to lighten the mood a little bit.

"Yeah I have been craving anything spicy. I had scrambled eggs with jalapenos last night. I actually had 4 eggs last night" Gabby blushed a little as she shared this with Matt.

All of a sudden Matt burst out in laughter as his blue eyes twinkled in amusement, "Well then we are definitetly having a little girl. She is going to be a spicy Latina just like her pretty mama."

And there it was again the chemistry that was always there no matter what. Gabby's heartbeat sped up as she thought about how much she loved him. But now she had no right to expect anything from him. Besides there was the entire pregnancy to get through being friends in spite of her feelings that kept resurfacing. Gabby blushed and she saw Matt's blue eyes dilate with passion.

"Thanks Matt", as Gabby stood up with the help of Matt who grabbed her hand to help her stand up. For a split second Matt started to pull her close as he watched her brown eyes darken with something that looked like love. Kelly came down the hallway calling to them and broke up the moment . And he say Gabby pull away again when she heard Kelly call to them.

"Hey Gabby, Are you ok?" Kelly looked at Gabby as he stood watching her as she walked out of the bathroom followed by Matt.

"Yeah, I'm fine. But I am going to get going before the next wave of nausea. Matt we can talk later maybe, ususally I am ok by early evening and we can meet at Molly's." Gabby said as she headed toward the door. She was berating herself for nearly giving into the urge to kiss Matt and take him to their bedroom and not get up until tomorrow morning. . She thought to herself, Damn hormones."

"Sure Gabby, I'll talk to you later." Matt walked Gabby to the door the whole time berating himself for not closing the door, pulling Gabby into a hug and staying there until she listened to him. He wanted a family with her, not just friendship with their baby. But then Matt remembered how she insisted that she didn't expect anything from him, whatever the hell that meant. Right now he was mad at himself and Gabby for ever giving up on them last Christmas so easily. He walked past Kelly toward his bedroom without a word or glance in his direction thinking to himself it was going to be a long 9 months.
