Hushed whispers woke Gabby up the next morning. She let out a groan and the whispers stopped. When she opened her eyes she was met with Antonio and Laura in her room.

"Hey, baby sis, how are you feeling?" Antonio asked, a concerned look on his face.

"I'm not a baby, Antonio." Gabby mumbled. "I'm fine."

"You know that's not what he's talking about, Gabby." Laura spoke up.

Gabby sighed and felt a tear escape her eye and roll down her cheek. "I don't know how to feel. I went to visit him yesterday and I just couldn't. A day ago he knew who I was and then I walk in there and he doesn't know who I am. Dr. Halstead said it would be best if Matt came home with me."

Antonio frowned. "It would be best? If anything this is going to hurt you more. Why doesn't he move in with Kelly?"

"Because the past months he spent most of his time with me and living in our apartment together. Dr. Halstead believes if we keep him around people he spends a lot of time with and around places he knows best that it could help him remember. I think the hardest part is gonna be having to hide everything in our apartment that shows we're together."

"Why would you need to do that?" Laura asked.

"He doesn't know me, Laura. He doesn't know who I am. If he doesn't get his memories back, there's no telling if he's going to fall in love with me again. And if he sees those pictures and everything else he's going to feel forced to be with me and I don't want that."

Laura reached over and grabbed Gabby's hand. "Gabby, I know Matt is going to get his memories and I know that until then, that man is going to fall head over heels for you all over again. The love that exists between you two doesn't just disappear."

"Laura's right," Antonio said, "You know I get very protective over you. Especially when it comes who you date. When I realized you had feelings for him and then you told me that he was taken I was worried. I was worried you would get your heart broken and would put those walls of yours up again. Later on I realized that Matt actually had feelings for you while in a relationship and I just hoped he could get his feeling sorted out without hurting you. When you two finally got together I knew he was the one for you. He looks at you the way dad looks at mom, ever since you were a little girl you said you wanted a love like that. You have it Gabs, this is just another obstacle being thrown at you two and you both will make it through this and come out stronger."

"Thanks, Tonio. You too, Laura. I don't know what I would do if it was just Matt and I. Um, also I wanted give you guys some news," She placed a hand on her stomach and smiled. "I'm pregnant."

A smile grew on Antonio's face and tears flooded his eyes as he pulled his sister into a hug the best way he could while she was in the bed. "Are you serious? I'm going to be an uncle finally!"

"Congratulations, Gabby! I'm so happy for you two." Laura said, also pulling her in for a hug.

"Does Matt know?" Antonio asked and felt his heart break for his little sister when the smile on her face fell.

"I was going to tell him, but like you know these past weeks were tough and was just constant arguing. I told Chief I wasn't sure if all that was going to end with a break up and I didn't tell him because then he would just be with me because of the baby. We finally talked everything out and just when I was going to tell him this happens." She explained, tears once again making their way down her cheeks.

"He's gonna remember, Gabs and you will have the chance to tell him. He's going to be over the moon when you do." Antonio reassured.

"That's what Shay told me." Gabby smiled and pushed the blankets off her and sat up. "I told him I would visit him so I think i'm going to head there." Gabby stated as she got up from the bed, shaking her head when Antonio asked if she needed help getting there. When she got there she saw that all of his things were still there but the bed was empty and began to panic. Quickly she made her way back out and found April.

"April! Where's Matt?"

"He was taken for a CT scan to see how his head injury is progressing. They should be back with him shortly, you can wait for him in his room if you want." April explained before making her way to Maggie who was calling her.

Gabby let out a breath of relief and walked back into the room and instead of taking a seat she went to where his turnout gear was and grabbed his jacket. She ran her fingers over the burn marks on it and was glad that Matt was lucky enough to not have suffered any burns. She dipped her hands into the pockets to make sure nothing was left in there and frowned when she came in contact with a piece of paper. Taking out the paper and unfolding it, a watery smile broke out on Gabby's face when she realized it was one of the notes she would write to him once in a while and slip into his bag. She never knew he put them in his jacket. The note had a simple 'I love you' written on it.

"You came back." Matt's voice startled her, she shoved the note in her own pocket and quickly wiped her tears before turning around to face him.

"Yeah, I did. How did your scan go?" She asked once he was situated in his bed and she was sitting next to him.

"Pretty good I think. Doc should be coming in with the results in a few minutes. What about you? You feeling better?"

"A lot better, I should be getting discharged today."

A disappointed look crossed his face but a small smile quickly appeared. "Oh, that's good. I still have another two days before I can go home. You know, one never realizes how great fresh air is until you spend hours stuck in a hospital room."

Gabby laughed at his comment. "That's what everyone says after spending one hour in a hospital room. Looks like you're a champ since it took you a whole day to say that."

"I was unconscious for the most part so I can't get that much credit. I'm sure I said it somewhere in my subconscious." Matt responded, a smirk plastered on his face.

"Whatever you say. Has anyone else came to visit you?"

"Just you and Kelly. He said everyone else would be stopping by after shift. Can I ask you something?"

Gabby's nodded immediately. "Yes, of course."

"Why are you and the other guys from the firehouse the only ones who visit me? Surely my parents already know about my accident right? My wife or girlfriend if I have one also should've been told too right? Where are they?"

The question was going to be asked at some point but Gabby didn't think he would ask this soon. She should've known with how observant Matt was that this wouldn't have gone unnoticed. Her mouth opened and closed a couple times as she tried to come up with an explanation. A knock on the door startled them both and Antonio came into view as the door opened.

"Hey Gabs, Matt," He greeted and then stretched out his hand towards Matt which he took and shook. "I'm Antonio, detective for the 21st district and sadly the brother of this knucklehead."

"Watch it, Antonio." Gabby snipped.

Matt chuckled. "Nice to meet you. Again, I guess."

Antonio redirected his attention toward his sister. "Gabs, Doctor needs you to have your blood pressure checked one last time and then for you to sign your discharge papers."

"Okay, i'll be there in a sec."

With that, he left the room and it was just Matt and Gabby left alone again, Gabby desperately prayed that Matt wouldn't continue the conversation.

"You should go have your blood pressure checked so you can go home." Matt suggested, his words almost sounding bitter and cold.

Gabby knew the reason his mood had suddenly changed was because she had family visiting her while he was alone. Her lower lip quivered and she quickly pressed her lips together to make it stop. She cleared her throat and stood up. "I'll try to visit you later, if not tomorrow. I hope your test comes back well."

Matt turned around in his bed and stayed silent as she left his room. She made her way back to her room and was surprised she made it through getting her blood pressure checked and signing the papers without breaking down. Once she was done she walked out with Antonio and instead of going back to her and Matt's apartment she went to the firehouse. When she arrived, the only trucks in the garage were chief's and engine. She continued her way up the driveway into the common room which was empty and then proceeded to enter Matt's office. She stood in front of his desk and took a moment to look over all of the pictures he had hanging above his desk and the ones framed on is desk. Most of them were of him with the guys from truck or from when the entire firehouse got together, but there were also a few of just him and Gabby. She wasn't sure if she should take those down since they didn't look much like a couple in them but also knew he might question why he only has pictures of him with her and not Shay. The one she would have to take was the one sitting on his desk. It was picture of them two kissing that Shay had sneakily taken during a christmas party that they had thrown at the firehouse.

The door to his office opened and on the other side stood Chief Boden. "Gabby? What are you doing here I thought you were still at the hospital?"

"I got discharged this morning and I didn't feel like going back to the apartment right now." She explained.

Chief walked into Matt's office, closing the door behind him. They were both silent for a few seconds as he observed Gabby. "How are you holding up?"

"He asked me why his family and wife or girlfriend weren't visiting him." Her voice trembled as she spoke. "I didn't get the chance to respond but god I just wanted to tell him that his girlfriend was there. His girlfriend and his baby were there visiting him. But I couldn't."

Chief pulled Gabby in for a hug and let her cry it out. When she managed to calm down everyone else was already coming back from their call. She smiled and nodded at Chief, letting him know she was okay and walked out to the common room where she greeted everyone.

"How are you and baby Casey doing?" Otis asked.

"Everything's looking good, just have to keep my blood pressure normal and stress level minimal."

"Looks like you need to find a new job, Dawson." Cruz joked.

"I think I just need to find myself some new friends." Gabby grinned, sending the entire house into a fit of laughter.

After that encounter, they each went on to do their own thing and her and Shay left to the sleeping bunks where they sat down and talked.

"How has it been with McCauley?" Gabby snickered.

Shay groaned. "Don't even get me started. I wanted to throw myself in front of one of the trucks when Chief told me he was going to be filling in for you. What about you? How are you doing?"

"I am so tired of people asking me how i'm doing first of all. I guess i'm doing the best I can. I just hate having to lie to him about everything. He asked me about his family and wife or girlfriend today."

A sorrowed look crossed Shay's face and she placed her on top of Gabby's. "Oh my god, Dawson, what did you say?"

"I didn't get to say anything because Antonio interrupted us and I left afterwards. Im not sure if he still wants to see me actually."

"Why wouldn't he?" Shay frowned.

Gabby sighed. "He didn't say anything when I told him I would probably stop by later or tomorrow. And when he told me that I should go home since Antonio had told me I needed to sign my discharge papers, he sounded mad."

"He's probably upset at the fact that his family isn't there. Or at least the family he has pictured in his mind. But I think as long as week keep visiting him he should be okay. I heard all the guys say they were going to visit him later today, maybe we could go then?"

Gabby nodded. "Yeah, the way he was when I left keeps bothering me and I just need to know he's going to be alright." She paused for a second and took a deep breath. "Can you come with me to our apartment and help me with putting away everything the shows we're together?"

"Yeah, of course, but why are you doing that? You two didn't break up before this and hide it from me right?" Shay asked, wondering if she had missed something. Both her and Gabby stood as shift was over and made their way to the locker room where they grabbed their stuff.

"No, but I was telling Laura that if Matt really does fall in love with me again, I want it to be real and not have him see that we were together once and feel forced to be with me." Gabby explained.

Both girls walked out of the locker room and headed out to Kelly's car since Shay had rode with him that morning. The drive was silent and once they entered the apartment Gabby let out a sigh as she looked at the mess that was left from the morning she and Matt were leaving for shift. Their blankets were both strewn on the back of the couch, mugs sitting on the coffee table as well as on the kitchen counter with their plates from breakfast.

"I'm sorry about the mess. Wasn't really planning on having any visitors. You want some coffee and something to eat?" She offered

"I'll take some coffee, thanks." Shay responded.

Gabby started the coffee machine and then got to cleaning around the living room and kitchen with Shay's help. Afterwards they sat down and had their cup of coffee and tea while Shay talked about her shift. When they finished, Gabby began taking down the frames from the wall and off the furniture, putting them in the box she had found up in the attic. She left the ones with the entire firehouse up and even though in all of them he still had his arm around her she hoped he didn't think much about it.

The hardest part was cleaning out things in their bedroom. She put all of his clothes into boxes so it would be easier to take to the guest bedroom. When she finished packing the clothes in the dresser she bent down to pick the box up when she heard the voice of her best friend.

"Gabriela Dawson, you even attempt to pick up that box and I will kick your ass. You know better than to pick up heavy things." Shay called her out.

"Shay, it's fine. It's not that heavy."

"Ah, I don't wanna hear any of that. Go pack something else and i'll take the boxes to the guest room."

With a huff, Gabby left the box on the ground for Shay to take and grabbed another box for the clothes in their closet. The clothes in there wasn't as heard as in the dresser, she kept the clothes all in the hanger and just draped it over the edges of the box. Once everything that was his was out of the room she looked around and felt her eyes begin to water. She was going to be sleeping in an empty bed probably for the next few weeks and the room had little evidence that he had been staying with her.

She looked at the ring on her finger and brought her other hand up and began twisting the ring off her finger when two other hands came up to halt her movements.

"Don't take it off, Dawson. You can move and hide anything else you want, but don't take this off." Shay said.

Looking up at her best friend, she nodded and slid the ring back into its place. She then wrapped her arms around Shay and pulled in for a hug. Silently thanking her for everything she did today.

Gabby yawned. "I'm gonna take a nap. You're welcome to stay here if you want."

"Go take a nap. I'll see what I can entertain myself with while you sleep." Shay reassured.

With that, she exited the room and left Gabby by herself. Gabby walked out to the dresser and pulled out one of his old truck 81 shirts and put it in, needing the scent of him close to her so she could fall asleep. When her head hit the bed, she immediately began to sob, finally being able to break down properly. She sobbed in relief that he was alive and still with her but also for what was yet to come as they tried to get his memory back.

Her nap was interrupted when she felt her stomach lurch and was instantly running to the bathroom, barely opening the toilet lid in time. A knock on the door was heard and Shays voice came from the other side.

"Dawson, are you alright?"

"Yeah, just morning sickness." Gabby responded. She flushed the toilet once she was finished and rinsed her mouth with mouth wash before returning back to her bed and falling back asleep. She got up twice more during her nap but was well rested. She took a shower and brought her dirty clothes down to the washer and began a load. In the kitchen Shay was sat at the dining table having some toast and another cup of coffee.

Once she noticed Gabby she perked up. "Rise and shine baby girl! I was feeling generous enough that I prepared you a bagel and some oatmeal."

"Oh come on, you know you would make me breakfast every morning if you could." Gabby teased.

Shay grabbed one the grapes she had on her plate and threw it Gabby but grumbled when she managed to catch it. The two ate their breakfast together and got up when Kelly texted Shay letting her know they were all heading to the hospital to see Matt. When they got there, everyone was waiting for them in the waiting room.

"Hey guys." Gabby and Shay greeted.

"Have you all gone and seen him?" Shay asked.

"No, we were waiting for you guys." Kelly replied.

Together, they all head up to Matt's room. None of them say anything and Gabby felt herself become more and more nervous as they got closer to Matt's room. She and Shay decided the would let the guys visit him first while they stayed back and talked to some of the nurses and paramedics that came and went. Matt was lying down in the bed looking at the tv when they got there, though his mind seemed to be somewhere else. Kelly knocked on the door and held back a chuckle when the man jumped.

"You up for visitors?" He asked.

"Yeah, sure come in." Matt turned the tv off and his eyes widened at the amount of people who stepping into his room. He was sure that it was more than allowed. "I guess these are the people I work with huh?"

"Yeah, you mainly deal with these people though." Kelly pointed at Herrmann, Mouch, Cruz, and Otis.

"Hey, Lieutenant, i'm Hermann how you feeling?" Herrmann stepped forward.

"I'm ready to go home." Matt chuckled. "Also, i'm not working and you guys aren't on shift either, call me Matt or Casey or whatever you want to call me."

"Still have a sense of humor I see." Cruz piped up.

"Why do I get the feeling that you and him," Matt pointed at Otis. "Are always getting into trouble."

"That's because they do." Mouch responded, sending the room into laughter.

The rest of truck and squad introduced themselves and they all continued with small talk. Matt never questioned again why only they were the ones visiting and Kelly was glad for that. After a while they began to say goodbye and were walking about of the room.

"Kelly!" Matt called out. "Is Gabby here?"

The corners of Kelly's mouth quirked up. "Yeah she's outside waiting with Shay."

He stepped outside and found Shay trying to comfort Gabby who looked like she was about to have a breakdown. "Dawson, Shay, Matt's waiting for you."

"Is he mad at me? Did he say anything?" Gabby bombarded Kelly.

"Calm down, he was the one who asked if you were here. Now go in there and see him."

They entered the room and a grin grew on Matt's face. Gabby felt the relief flow through her body at knowing he wasn't mad or upset with her. She stepped closer to him and noticed he looked less pale and looked more like himself. The lonely and lost look on his face wasn't there as much.

"Hey, glad to see you came back. For a minute I thought you wouldn't come and see me again." He said.

"Why would you think that?" Gabby frowned.

"The way I talked you this morning wasn't the best and I know you noticed it too. I'm sorry. It's just, knowing that you're brother was here while none of my family was here made me upset and I shouldn't have taken it out on you." Matt apologized.

Gabby smiled. "It's okay, I would be upset if I was in your position too. You're forgiven. Now, I would like you to meet, again, my best friend and partner on ambo Leslie Shay."

Shay stepped forward and shook Matt's hand that was stretched out. "Nice to see you're doing okay Casey. The firehouse has been different without you two."

"Nice to meet you again, Leslie, i'm glad Gabby has you as a partner. Make sure she doesn't stress so much so her blood pressure stays normal. She's too young for that."

Shay laughed. "Trust me, when she's with me, the last thing she will do is stress. Besides, she knows she can't hide anything from me. I practically know when she's not well before she even realizes she's not feeling well. Anyway, i'm going to join the guys so you can guys can talk."

"She seems like a good best friend." Matt said once she had left the room.

"Yeah, she the best. I couldn't have asked for a better one. You should see how she is with Kelly. Those two have such a strong relationship and I hope nothing ever breaks those two apart." Gabby sat down, subconsciously placing a hand on her stomach when doing so.

"They're together?"

Gabby chuckled. "Those two? Oh no, Shay is a devoted lesbian and Kelly loves spending his time with women. But hey no judging here."

Matt's eyebrow shot up. "Really? I thought those two were together. They really seemed like it by the way they act."

"I know! I thought so too when I first started at 51 and then I overhead an argument between them. Kelly was trying to tell Shay that she shouldn't be with the girl she was with at the time and she wouldn't listen."

"Wow." Matt shook his head. "I have news. The doctor said my scans came back clear and that i'll actually be discharged tomorrow morning."

Gabby's eyebrows raised and a smile grew on her face. "Matt, that's great! Um I actually needed to talk to you about that. The doctors think it would be best if you stayed with me to help get your memories back, so I wanted to see if you would be okay with that."

There was a moment of silence after and Gabby held her breath as she waited for him to argue with her and say he didn't want to stay with her. But that never came.

"Yes, of course. I trust you. Plus, I can't remember anything so i'm not sure living on my own would be such a great idea right now." He laughed.

"I'm not so sure either," Gabby laughed with him. "I set up the guest bedroom for you and Kelly brought most of your clothes over from your apartment to mines too. We can go back and get more if there's something else you'd like."

"Wow, you just got discharged today and you did all that already? How?"

Gabby swallowed nervously. "Uh, they told me about you staying with me the day you first woke up and I told Kelly and he started bringing your clothes over that day."

Matt looked at her curiously and Gabby averted her gaze so he wouldn't catch on that she was partly lying. He was about to say something when a nurse knocked on the door way and came in.

"I'm sorry for interrupting, but it's time we give Mr. Casey his meds and let him sleep some." She informed, walking to him with two cups, on with water and the other with his meds. He took them all and nodded gratefully at the nurse.

Gabby placed her hand on his shoulder and smiled at him. "I'll let you get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow morning okay?"

Matt nodded. "Alright. Thanks, Gabby, for doing all of this when you don't have to."

"You're my friend, Matt, I would do anything to help you get better." Gabby smiled at him once more before dimming the lights and closing the door.
