When Matt came to Chicago Med, Gabby and Shay were waiting for him. "Hi. Where is she?"
"They're gonna do a CT scan. She fell and hurt her forehead, but she was conscious when we found her" Shay said.
"Okay, thanks for taking care of her" he said and run a hand through his hair. Gabby felt bad for him.
"Matt ..." she said in a low tone, but still he heard her. "She'll be fine, trust me" he looked at her and nodded. He kept looking and Gabby didn't look away. Shay cleared her throat trying to break that stare between the two, she and Gabby needed to return to the station.
"We have to go, but anything you need you can call us, okay?" She said and gave him a hug. "Gabby, I'm waiting for you outside" and Shay left them alone.
"She was drunk?" Matt asked.
"Matt ..."
"She said she was going to my sister's house, I should have known it" he said glancing her. She approached him and stood before him.
"Don't blame yourself. Maybe she was going, I don't know, but just ... you know." Matt was holding his anger for not explode in front of Gabby, it would be wrong to discount all his frustration on her. Gabby took a few steps forward and put her hand on his face.
"I'm sorry" he said sadly.
"Hey, don't say that. Listen, she'll be fine, okay?" And she did wanted to do since he had arrived there, she hugged him. He held her tight, as if his life depended on it, that moment, that embrace. It took a few minutes and Gabby looked at him. Their faces were separated only by a few centimeters. She ran a hand through his hair and he didn't take his eyes from her lips. "I have to go" she said. She kissed his cheek and left.
When Gabby came outside, Shay was leaning against the ambulance. "So, how was everything there?"
"I don't know ... I ..."
"Gabby, Matt is a good guy" Shay said, trying to reassure her that she could trust him.
"On my first day in the 51 ... when I was heading toward the station, Matt hit my car. And we kind of discussed, so our relationship is... a mess. And then came another situation that made it worse, and he wants to fix it. I don't know, I really don't know, "Gabby said.
"You don't want to give in?" Shay asked putting her arm around her friend's shoulders.
"What do I do, Shay?"
"I honestly don't know." After returning to the station, Shay and Gabby went to the kitchen to eat something and then they went to their bed to get some sleep. But Gabby couldn't sleep immediately. She was really worried about Nancy and Matt. Finally the end of the shift came.
"Let's have breakfast?" Shay asked Gabby while waiting in front of the station.
"I have to go somewhere, sorry," Gabby said.
"I know ... gave him a hug for me."
After a few minutes Gabby parked her car at Chicago Med. She went to the reception and then directed into the room where Nancy was. She knocked on the door and opened it, she found a blonde girl sitting in the chair beside the bed.
"Good Morning! My name is Gabriela Dawson."
"Good morning!" Said the woman getting up.
"I work with Lt. Matthew Casey. My friend and I ... brought Ms. Casey yesterday. I ... I came to know how she is." Gabby was a bit nervous.
"Oh, my name is Christy, I am Matt's sister. Thank you for your concern. My mother is better, thank God tomography revealed nothing serious, but she will be a few hours under observation."
"I'm glad she's okay. I just got out of my shift and I'm going home, but if you need anything Lieutenant Casey has my number."
"Thank you! I tell him." When Gabby opened the door, she ran into Matt.
"Hey" he said.
"Hey" she replied. He had a cup of coffee in his hands.
"Your sister told me that your mother is under observation for a few hours." Christy was watching them in the door talking.
"Matt?" Christy said.
"Christy, this is Gabriela Dawson ..."
"Yeah, we just got to meet" actually Matt had already been talking about Gabby for Christy, so when she saw Gabby there, she was happy for his brother. She hadn't seen him with anyone a long time and his brother was a great guy, he deserved to find someone special, so she decided to give a little push.
"Gabriela, I know we hardly know each other, but could you do me a favor?"
"Sure" Gabby said.
"My brother needs to rest, he spent the night here in this uncomfortable chair and ate nothing decent so far, could you help him with that?" Gabby was embarrassed and Matt too.
"I ... I can handle it." She blushed.
"Christy!" he said. "Gabby, I'm fine, don't care my sister."
"I'll take Mom home, then you can go there to see her. Remember I am the big sister here, then do what I am saying and get some rest." Gabby was in silent. Matt realized what her sister was doing and she wouldn't give up her plan.
"All right. Please let me know when once you get home" he said. Matt went to his mother and gave her a kiss on the cheek and then gave one kiss in his sister.
"Sorry for my sister, sometimes she likes to be bossy" Matt told Gabby after leaving the room.
"Okay, in fact I liked her." The rest of the way to the parking lot was done in silence.
"See you then at work?" Matt said when they got near Gabby's car.
"What? I told your sister that I would take care of you." Matt gave a half smile.
"Gabby, you don't need..." But Gabby interrupted him.
"Matt, you know where I live, so see you there" she said before getting in her car. Matt said no more and entered his car and went to Gabby's house. They arrived almost simultaneously. Gabby opened the door and they entered.
"Make yourself at home" Gabby said taking off her coat.
"Your house is very beautiful" he said.
"Thanks! I'll prepare breakfast for us" and she went into the kitchen. Before following her Matt found himself looking at the Gabby's pictures with her family, after a few minutes he went into the kitchen.
"Want some help there?"
"No thanks." Gabby saw Matt yawning a few times. He looked pretty tired. Gabby tried to do everything very quickly so he could take a nap. They had breakfast and exchanged a few words. Matt said he was going to wash the dishes, but Gabby didn't allow it and took him to the guest room to get some sleep. She returned to the kitchen and washed the dishes. Once finished she went to her bedroom, changed her clothes and lay down.
When she was falling asleep she heard a knock at her door. It was Matt. He stood there, waiting for some sign of her. Gabby thought wouldn't be a good idea he entered her bedroom, but it was too hard to resist his almost pleading. Then she pulled back and hit the bed. That was the sign he expected. He lifted the blanket, approached her and they were facing each other. Gabby ran a hand through his hair, which she increasingly enjoyed making it. Yes, she was in trouble.
"Let's get some sleep?" she said and he just nodded. She turned and stood with her back to him. He put his arm around her waist and rested his head close to her back. And almost immediately they fell asleep.
