Chapter 4: Boden tells the Fire Department and Gabriela's family gets the surprised of their life
Once Boden gets done talking to Leslie he has the task of tell the rest of the fire department was is going on. He slowly walks towards the common room and finds truck 81 just sitting around the house and the same was for the squad team in the garage. There was one person that was usually with the squad was the other lieutenant. Boden asked one of the squad members, "If they knew where their lieutenant is?"
The first to speak up was Cruz, "We have not seen him since this morning."
Boden knew that both of his lieutenants in the beginning did not get a long, but that has changed now and they were like brothers. The lieutenants would back the each other up when needed. He knew that without his truck lieutenant his squad lieutenant would possible go downhill.
Boden knew that he needed to find his squad lieutenant and explain to him what is going on before he finds out from someone else and does something stupid. The first place that he looked was in the office that belonged to his squad lieutenant and when he did not see him in there he looked in the only other place which was his Matt's office.
In Matt's office, on the bed sat Kelly Severide doing something that he never did in public he was crying. When Boden walked in Kelly did not even look up or acknowledge him. Boden sat down at the desk chair and asked, "Kelly, you talked to Shay yet?"
Kelly looked at his captain and nodded his head and said, "Yeah I have and she told me that right now there was nothing that I could do right now and that I should stay right where I am for now."
Boden knew Kelly way too good to know that he would not just sit at the firehouse when his best friend's life is in the balance. Boden knew that Kelly would not be at his best so Boden said, "Kelly as much as I want you to stay here until shift is over I know that you will not be at you best so go and be with Matt, Shay and Dawson they need you more right know. You are the only one that helped Dawson out when Matt's life was on the line after the fire and now is no different."
Kelly looked at his boss and said, "Captain this is different because he would not be in the situation he is in if it wasn't for Voight. Voight and Antonio promised Gabriela and Leslie that he would make sure that nothing would happen to Matt and now his life is on the line. So you explain to me the way this is not different from the fire he save the baby from."
Boden knew that Kelly would try and turn this back on Voight and Antonio but he knew the really reason why Matt wanted to go undercover and that Voight and Antonio did not have anything to do with this. Boden tried to explain the reason by telling Kelly, "Kelly I understand that you want someone to blame for the situation Matt is in right know but you have to realize that it was not Voight's or Antonio's decision it was Matt's idea. Matt came to Voight, Antonio, and me and explained that he wanted to go undercover because he wanted to bring Nesbit down for sex trafficking. He knew that Nesbit and his men were bring women over from Russia and wanted to catch Nesbit and his men in the act."
Kelly looked up at Boden with wide eyes and said, "So what you are trying to tell me is that if I want to blame anyone it should be Matt."
Boden looked at Kelly and said, "What I am trying to say is that Nesbit is the one you need to blame for the reason for the situation Matt is in." Boden walked out of Matt's office leaving Kelly even more confused.
Kelly could not believe Matt would put himself in that type of situation unless he was being threatened. Kelly realized something that Matt said the week before he went undercover. Matt told Kelly that he was going to try and bring Nesbit and his men down. Than Matt asked Kelly that if something were to happen would he watch over Gabby and tell her that he love her.
Kelly ran out of Matt's office and started to run to his car when he almost collided with Leslie. Leslie had to jump out of the way just so that Kelly would not knock her down. She knew that he was in a hurry to get to wherever he was going. She started running after him she caught up to him at his car. She asked, "Kelly, where are you going? I hope you are not going to the hospital right now because Matt is still in surgery and would be there for another five hours."
Kelly looked at Leslie with wide eyes and asked her, "If he is still in the surgery why you are not there with Gabby? I know why am not there yet I just found out about twenty minutes ago and Boden was talking to me. The reason why I am going now is because I made a promise to my best friend before he went undercover to take care of Gabriela."
Leslie looked at her best friend and said, "Okay I know something that you and apparently Matt do not know and she has not even told her brother about yet because she wanted Matt to know before her brother. The only reason why I know is because I managed to blackmail her into telling me."
Kelly told Leslie that, "Thing that you don't know about Matt is that he had a suspicion about something. He did not say anything about it in case it was not true."
Kelly got in his car and drove away from the firehouse. He drove to the place that he could get away from the world and got out of the car and walked up to his and Matt's home away from home. He pulled out his keys and unlocked the door and went inside. He sat down on the couch and broke down. The next thing he knew he was talking to himself, "Matt you promised to be there for me but mostly Gabby. I just hope that you make it through because Gabby has something that she needs to tell you. I was just remembering what you told me our first day of academy you said that we are brothers Andy, me and you. We already lost one brother we are not losing another."
Lakeview hospital
Matt's family and Gabriela was waiting for the doctors to come out and tell them that Matt was going to be okay. Finally when the doctors asked for family of Matthew Casey Gabriela stood with Matt's family and the doctor said, "Mr. Casey's surgery went as well as can be expected. When he came in he both of his lungs collapsed, five ribs, his nose, his jaw, both of his arms, and both if his legs were broken not to mention he had be shot in both of his knees. When we took him in to surgery we were able to repair his collapsed lungs, his nose, his jaw, his arms and legs."
Gabriela asked the question that was on her mind this whole time while she was sitting here and worrying about him, "Is he going to wake up?"
The doctor looked at his family and replied, "Right now he is sedated and on a ventilator so that his body can heal on its own right now. After about a week we will start slowly lowing the medication and after that it will be up to him from then on. Thing that I want to know is who is his next of kin?"
About that time Kelly came walking in the hospital and walks up to Gabriela and said, "His next of kin is Gabriela Dawson, his fiancé."
Matt's mom and sister gave Gabriela a look of confused because they did not know that Matt had a girlfriend or engaged for that matter. Matt's mom asked the doctor, "What made a difference who was his next of kin anyway?"
The doctor explained to Matt's mom and sister, "The next of kin has the power to make the final decisions."
Matt's sister finally spoke up, "Final decision about what?"
Kelly looked at Matt's mom and sister and said, "What is best for Matt. She has the right to let anyone she wants in there and she has the right to kick anyone out of the room. She also has the decision whether or not to pull the cord from Matt."
At this point Matt's mom looked at his doctor and said, "But I am his mother though."
His doctor looked at Matt's mom and said, "I understand that you are his mother but once he moved out of your house and made his will and gave the next of kin to someone else strips you from the power to make final decision and that is why I asked who was his next of kin."
Gabriela blacked out and fell to the floor hit her head really hard. The doctor paged for help and they took Gabriela too be checked out. All Kelly could do was star after her. He knew that if something happened to either one of them that would put him as Matt's next of kin and Antonio as her next of kin considering Matt was not in a place to say anything.
Kelly called Antonio and once he picked up Kelly said, "You need to get to the hospital right away Gabriela just fainted and they need you here."
Antonio knew that Gabriela put him as her next of kin behind Matt. He raced over to the hospital once he got there he walked up to Kelly and asked him what happened, "I don't really know the doctors have not came back to talk to us since they took her back."
By that time the doctor was walking up to them and asked for Gabriela's next of kin. Antonio knew that this was bad and wish Matt was here right now because something was wrong with Gabriela. Antonio looked back at the doctor and said, "That is me considering her boyfriend is unable to come since he was in the hospital himself."
The doctor looked at Antonio and said, "We need your permission to deliver her twin boys that are going to be about six weeks early. If we do not deliver right away than it could possible kill both of them."
Antonio looked at Kelly shocked but turned back to the doctor and said, "Deliver them and save my sister also.
Once the doctor left to start prepping Gabriela for an emergency C-Section. Antonio looked back at Kelly and asked, "Did you know that Gabriela was pregnant? Do you know how the father is?"
Kelly looked at Antonio and replied, "No I did not know she was pregnant and I might have a good idea who the father is. It is someone that is also in the hospital."
Antonio eyes were wide now when he said, "Matt is the father? I thought that they were not together anymore though. When this happen?"
Kelly just laughed at Antonio and said, "You call yourself a detective? How could you have not known that they were back together? The whole firehouse knew that they were back together. They got together a week before all this took place."
Antonio thought about that for a second and it dawn on him and he said, "When she called the police department when she was at Matt's house; I asked her why she was at his house and all she said was that she had to see him. That should have been a clue what was going on. I guess I was just so caught up in trying to be a cop that I did not put two and two together.
An hour later the doctor came out and said, "Family of Miss Gabriela Dawson." Kelly and Antonio stand up and walks to the doctor and said, "Gabriela and the triplets are going good for right now."
Kelly looked at the doctor and said, "When can we see her and Matt?"
The doctor said, "We don't normally do this but considering Miss Dawson was being stubborn and saying that she was not going rest until she see Matt we made sure that they are in the same room. So I will take you to their room. I have to remind you that Matt is still sedated right now."
Kelly and Antonio followed the doctor to Matt's and Gabriela's hospital room. When they got there nothing could compare to they saw. Matt had wires coming from everywhere. When they saw Gabriela she was just waking up.
Antonio and Kelly knew that once she is fully a wake she would be asking about the baby. They had the task of tell her that she had triplets. Gabriela finally looked at them and asked, "What is going did the baby make it?"
Kelly and Antonio looked at each other before Kelly finally spoke up, "Gabby the doctors had to deliver the babies early because it would have killed you and the babies. They said that your immune system was attacking your babies and making you sick in the process. That is why you passed out."
Gabriela looked at Kelly and Antonio confused, "Kelly, you said babies meaning that there was more than one?"
Kelly nodded his head yes and he said, "Yes, babies meaning that there is three. They did not tell us the genders yet. They wanted to wait until you woke up to tell you first."
Gabriela looked at Matt and was shocked considering this was the first time that she got to see him. She started crying. Kelly looked at Gabriela and said, "Gabby, you need to be strong for the babies. The doctors are going to wait to wait until next week to try and start waking him up."
Gabriela looked at her brother and said, "Now do you see why I wanted to wait to tell you until I told Matt. These babies are his and he might not even get to know his children."
Antonio dropped his head and said, "Sis I do understand but you have to stay positive especially now that babies are born. It is just not you and Matt now you have the babies that need you too.
