Here is another update, the next chapter will be longer. Thankyou for your patience and reviews :)

5 hours later

"Upstairs, and get ready for bed." Laura said, as they walked into their house later that night and hanging up their jackets.

"But-" Eva started, but her Mom sent her a warning look and she knew she shouldn't argue and went upstairs without further argument.

"Damn," Antonio muttered as he pocketed his mobile and grabbed his holster and badge.

"Case come up?" Laura asked, turning to look at him as he shrugged his jacket back on.

"Sorry babe," Antonio said, going to kiss her but she turned on her heel and walked off towards the kitchen. "Laur,"

"I will see you when you get home." She simply said before he sighed in defeat and walked out the door.

Gabby's Apartment-Gabby's POV

I walked around my apartment, thinking. I couldn't sleep, if I sleep I would have nightmares about that call again. And I've cleaned my apartment till its spotless then there was a sudden knock on my door.

"Gabby! Open the door!" Lindsay's voice boomed through the door as she continued to hit it.

"What? Is Antonio okay?" I asked immediately as I opened the door quickly.

"What? Yeah he is fine. I'm here to check on you, with the request from your brother." She said, walking into my apartment and looking around. She thought I would be in a corner somewhere drunk as a skunk and the place not spotless. Well.

"I'm fine, just a bad day at work." I simply said, closing the door and turning to face her.

"Want to talk about it?" She asked, sitting down on my couch and making herself comfortable.

"Shouldn't you be at work or home?" I asked, changing the subject and sitting next to her.

"Don't change the subject, tell me about it." She said, her serious face not budging from her face.

"Promise you won't tell Antonio?" I asked, looking down at my hands with tears forming in my eyes.

"Promise." She said, squeezing my knee as I started my recount of that day.

"We got called to a car accident...Drunk driver of course...A family was on there way home when he crashed into them...He killed the parents instantly but there was a boy and a girl..." I started before choking up on my own words and she gave me a reassuring squeeze on my knee before I continued my story.

"They didn't make it...We couldn't get them out in time. And it's been eating away at me for the last two days. I can't sleep, I have nightmares." I finish as I wipe away the tears that were making tracks down my face.

"Oh Gabby, why didn't you tell anyone. We could of helped." Erin said, hugging me close as I cried for the lives we couldn't save.

"I didn't want to worry anyone," I said, grabbing a tissue out of the tissue box on the coffee table in front of us and wiping my eyes and blowing my nose.

"Gabs, you could of come and talked to me if you really need to. How about we head down to Molly's tonight and we can talk?" Erin suggested, as she hugged me.

"Sounds like a plan, thankyou." I said gratefully, hugging her again as she stood up to get ready to leave.

"I will see you later," Erin said, before leaving and I knew I had to go talk to my brother about what was going on. I had to talk to someone other than Shay and Erin. I quickly put on my sneakers and grabbed my jacket, purse and keys before locking my apartment and headed outside towards my car as thunder rumbled in the distance.

District 21

I quickly walked inside as the rain poured down out of the sky. I walked up to the desk sergeant, Trudy Platt. From what my brother has told me, she can be a bit of a grump.

"I'm looking for Antonio Dawson." I said, as I stood in front of her nervously as I rung out my wet hair.

"And you are?" She asked, not bothering to look away from the computer screen in front of her.

"Gabriela," I replied, as she turned her head and looked at me before picking up the phone.

"Go sit over there," She replied dully as she pressed a button and held the receiver to her ear.

5 minutes later

"Gabby, are you okay?" Antonio asked, as he ran down the stairs and stood in front of me.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I thought if you had some time, we could talk." I said, standing up and hugging him tightly as more thunder rumbled outside.

"Yeah sure, there's a coffee shop down the road. Tell Voight, I'll be back soon." He said, towards Platt before we walked outside into the rain and down the street to the coffee shop. We walked inside and placed our orders before sitting down in one of the booths. "What's up Gabs?"

"I talked to Erin earlier," I started as a waitress handed our coffees before leaving us alone again. He waited for me to continue talking. "And we talked."

"About?" He asked, leaning back in his chair and looking out the window as the rain pattered against the panes.

"Lots of things." I replied, shortly, looking down at my hands before looking out the window.

"Gabby, what's going on? You seem withdrawn from the family? You're not pregnant are you?" He asked, looking at me with a concerned expression on his face.

"Oh god no. You don't need to worry about that yet Tonio. It's a call Shay and I went on." I said, my head snapping up to look at him before I looked back out the window and continued with my story. "Drunk driver thought he was okay to drive home...He hit a family. Parents died on impact and the kids died on scene. It was horrible Antonio, I couldn't stop thinking about you, Laura and the kids. Or Mom and Dad."

"Oh Gabs, you should of said something sooner instead of keeping it bottled up." He said, coming around to sit next to me and hugging me close while I cried.

"Thanks Tonio, you should get back to work before your boss kills you." I said, as we stood up and walked out of the coffee shop and back towards 21.

"And you should get ready for you double shift." Antonio said, hugging me one last time before we went out separate ways.

Firehouse 51

"Hey girl, you're looking better." Shay said, wrapping her arm around my shoulders as we walked onto the Apparatus Floor.

"I am, I talked to Lindsay and Antonio. So I'm feeling much better, I will meet you out at the rig. I need to get dressed." I said, before making my way to the locker room where Matt was pulling his shirt over his head.

"Hey Gabs, how you doing?" He asked, looking over at me as I put my backpack away in my locker and grabbed my work shirt.

"Better, after shift do you want to grab a couple drinks at Molly's with me?" I asked, hoping he wasn't too busy with Hallie.

"Tomorrow night, Hallie and I are going to her parents place for dinner. Sorry Dawson," He said, before leaving the locker room to myself and my thoughts.

'Yeah, no problem,' I thought to myself as I finished getting dressed and slammed my locker closed before making my way out to the rig to get started for the day.

For next couple of chapters, Hallie will be in the story until the fire and then I will work on getting Matt and Gabby together. I hope you enjoyed this update. Please read and review :D
