Chapter 6

From the hallway Gabby saw Matt talking to Violet; she began to cry and he immediately pulled her into his arms and hugged her. As much as this was a sad moment it also warmed Gabby's heart. One of the things she loved about him was the compassion he showed to others, especially his family and friends. She also loved how good he was with children and she knew that he would be a great father to their child.

She watched him leave and decided to go and keep Violet company, maybe show her around. "Hi Violet," She smiled as she approached her.

"Hi Gabby," She looked up briefly; her attention then went back to the video she was watching.

"What are you watching?" She sat down beside her.

"My friends from my old school made me a video before I left. I really miss them."

Not sure what to say, Gabby sat down beside her and looked at the video, "They seem like great friends."

"They are." She replied sadly.

"Do you want me to show you around, or was Uncle Matt going to do that?"

"You can show me around," Violet tucked her cell phone away and turned to her soon-to-be aunt.

"All right I will; First though I have something to tell you," She looked around and saw Matt walking towards them.

"Ah," He smiled widely, "Two of my favourite girls. Wanna take that tour now Violet?"

"Gabby was just telling me something."

"Oh?" Matt raised any eyebrow, then meeting Gabby's gaze smiled.

Knowing she and Matt were on the same wavelength she continued, "Your Uncle and I are expecting a baby."

"You're pregnant?" Violet gasped.

"Yeah," Gabby nodded, unsure of what the girl's response would be.

"That's great," She hugged Gabby then stood and hugged her Uncle.

"Yeah?" Matt checked, getting a sense that she wasn't really s happy, as she appeared to be,

"Yeah," She nodded again, "Can you take me on that tour now?"

"Of course."

Christie arrived around an hour and a half later to find Violet sitting on the floor in the common room; she was playing with Pouch and watching TV.

"Hey sweetie,"

"Mom!" Violet jumped up to hug her mother. Gabby and Matt standing up as well.

"Hey, how did your test go?" Matt asked after giving her a hug.

"I think it went alright. I find out in a few weeks how I did. Then I'll go from there."

"I'm sure you did fine."

"Mom, Uncle Matt and Gabby-" She stopped midsentence realizing it would be rude to tell her their news.

"What Violet?"

Knowing that they wanted to tell Christie anyways Matt picked up where Violet left off, "Gabby and I are pregnant. We told Violet earlier."

"You're pregnant?" Christie smiled, "That's great. Oh, Matt you're going to be a great father," She hugged her brother.

Matt hugged her in return, "Thanks Christie."

Smiling Christie turned to hug Gabby, "Congratulations,"

"Thanks."

"You know," Christie lowered her voice to a whisper, "He'd do anything for you. You're the bets thing that's ever happened to him. Don't hurt him."

"Never. I love him." Gabby assured Matt's older sister.

Less then a week later Matt and Gabby drove to Christie's house to check-up on her and Violet. After calling ahead to make sure it was a good time Matt was happy to report that his sister seemed to be in a good mood. Twenty minutes after leaving Firehouse 51 they arrived at the house. Christie let them in, after a quick hug she told them her news.

"Jim stopped by today. He doubled the original offer of child support per month, said he'd pay for Violet's schooling and he's taking the house off the market. We can move back in. It's over, it's all over."

"Good" Mat thought to himself as he went up to hug her. He was hoping that the piece of information he'd found out would help persuade him. "That's great Christie. Violet must be so happy she gets to so back to her old school."

"Yeah she is; she's upstairs waiting for you to tuck her in. It'll be good practice for you."

"Yeah," Matt smiled brightly at the thought of tucking in his and Gabby's child. "I'll go up and see her. Gabby you want to come?"

"No. You have some alone time with her. Just tell her goodnight from me."

"Alright," Matt began walking up the steps.

"Hey Matt," Christie's voice stopped him, "This whole thing ended kind of like you said it would. You didn't have anything to do with it, did you?"

He didn't respond, he simply shrugged his shoulders and went upstairs. Finding Violet's bedroom he knocked on the door, "Violet?" He called as he walked into the room. He saw her just finishing up brushing her teeth.

"Uncle Matt," She walked out of the washroom; she hugged him and smiled. "Did Mom tell you?"

"Yeah she told me. That's great you get to go back."

"I'm so excited!" She climbed into bed and under the covers, "It's so great."

"I know."

"Uncle Matt," She changed the subject, "I'm happy Gabby's pregnant," She began slowly, "But-"

Matt stopped her, he knew what she as going to say she he didn't want to hear it, 'Violet I will always love you. I know it seems like we've only just started to get to know each other but I promise you I'll always be there for you. I love you. Plus, Gabby and I might need some help with the baby. Think you'd be up for helping out?"

"Yeah I guess," She nodded, "Maybe but not all the yucky things."

Matt laughed, "Okay," He kissed her forehead, "Gabby and I both love you."

"I love you Uncle Matt, and I guess I'll love Gabby too."

"Yeah," Matt nodded and smiled, "She really likes you Violet. You know what she keeps saying?"

"What?"

"She has an eight year old nephew and a fourteen year old niece; she keeps saying we should get you three together and let you all hang-out."

"Really?"

"Yeah, what do you think about that?"

"Maybe."

"Good," Matt stood to full height, "I'll tell her you said that. Now get some sleep alright?" He turned off the lights in her room and closed the door.
