Two days later

Gabby walked around the house, struggling a bit as she knew she had to go out, because she wanted to visit Shay's grave and bring some flowers there, but she was worried that she would see the black sedan again. Her feet were also so swollen and she was tired, but she wanted to go to her friend and bring her her favorite flowers.

It was her birthday after all.

She walked to her car and got in, driving to the cemetery. She didn't like being in the cemetery but she did like being close to Shay, it was like she was closer to her friend again and Ryan was kicking now…Gabby couldn't wait to tell him about the amazing woman he was named after.

Gabby walked to the grave and gasped then surprised as she saw it.

The candle that she had put there the last time she was here was thrown aside and the glass container it had been in was in shards on the grave. The flowers were tossed around and the picture was broken was well and even scratched with a pen. Gabby put her hand in front of her mouth and looked upset, shaking her head. How could somebody do this?

Upset she walked back to the car, as fast as she could and drove to the firehouse, running inside, even running past all the other people that were calling her name.

She ran inside the office, Matt sitting there and he got up a bit surprised when she just pressed herself against her.

''Hey, hey, I am here, what is wrong? Talk to me.'' Matt said worried as he took Gabby in his arms and caressed her over her back.

''Somebody trashed Shay's grave….'' She sobbed against him and he just held her, biting his lip as he was pretty sure that it was the gang and it made him so angry.

''Shhhhh….I am so sorry, we will clean it up later….'' He said and laid his hands then around Gabby's jaw, cupping her face in his hands.

''Shhh, I know…Shay doesn't deserve this…. The person who did this is terrible….I will help you clean it up.'' He said then but she pulled back.

''how can you say we will just clean it up. People damaged her grave! They damaged it!'' She said upset.

''I know-''

''Then why are you saying that we can just clean it up!'' Gabby yelled upset.

'''Gabby, I am sorry.'' Matt said then, not sure what he should say or do.

''And I feel you are hiding something from me!'' She said then, even more upset.

''Gabby…'' He just said softly as he tilted his head and then she shook her head, angry.

''I am leaving Matt!'' She said angry and walked out and he wanted to walk after her but as she got so mad, he just walked back to his office.

He sat down, bummed but sighed relieved as he got a phone call from her just a few minutes later an she had come home safely.

''Matt I am sorry, I was a bit emotional – Have you told Severide yet?''

''No…'' Matt said then. ''It is fine, I am sorry.''

''Go tell him and we can talk when you are back from shift…''

''Okay, whatever is best for you.'' He said then and she made a smoochie sound on the other side of the phone and Matt got up then, took a deep breath before walking to Severide's office and he knocked on the door and walked in then and looked as friend. So sad he had to bring this news.

''Gabby went to the cemetery to put some new flowers by Shay's grave…and when she got there the grave was trashed. The flowers were thrown around and so did the candles…''

''What!'' Kelly yelled angry and Matt backed off, knew that his friend would be so angry and Kelly shook his head.

''How can they do that, don't they have any respect!''

''We will clean it up, me and Gabby will go there later…I am so sorry.''

''It probably was the gang.'' Kelly gritted his teeth.

''Probably.'' Matt said then as he was thinking the same.

''We should have stayed out of this…but you pulled me in on this investigation….'' Kelly shook his head.

Matt huffed, really angry now because Kelly was blaming him while he had been trying to get out. Now Kelly said that he had brought Kelly in? Kelly had been the one that kept pushing him back in and now he blamed him? Matt tried not to get Matt because Kelly was also upset about what happened to Shay's grave but he was still angry now. Really angry.

''You are an idiot! I told you we should stay out of this but you pulled me into it! I never wanted to get into this mess and after my truck got keyed and wanted to leave it for what it is, and now you say this is my fault! My wife is pregnant, I wanted to get out but you felt too important to leave this for what it was!'' Matt said angry.

''I am in the idiot here? You know what, whatever!'' Kelly said angry and Matt just shook his head and walked out. He walked back to his own daughter and smacked the door close behind him. He was so angry and Cruz sat up from his bed in the room there and looked at Matt. Angry Matt just waited for shift to be over and was so relieved when it finally was.

After shift, he went home and took Gabby in the truck to the cemetery, looking if they could clean up at the grave a bit. He parked the car and helped her out of the truck when he saw Kelly cleaning up there as well as they walked closer.

''You know what, I will wait in the car until you get back.'' He said then and Gabby looked up at him, a bit surprised.

''Why?''

''me and Kelly had words at work about an arson case and I don't really want to talk to him. Not here, I don't want to get mad at him by Shay's grave.'' Matt explained and Gabby nodded. She pressed closed against Matt and grabbed his hand then as they walked back to the car.

''You know what, we can go back later…I don't want you to feel awkward…but please make it up with Kelly, I know you always do, I don't like you fighting.''

Matt nodded and they got back in the car and he kissed her.

''I love you, you know that right?'' He asked then.

''I know, it was just the pregnancy hormones…and that was I so upset about what happened to Shay's grave.''

''All fine.'' He said then and kissed her again and they shared a small hug before driving home.


NOTE: Gabby wanted to visit her friend for Shay's birthday but found out that her grave was trashed and went to Matt, really upset and had to tell Kelly then but Kelly and he got in a fight.
