5 days later

''Casey is coming back on shift today.'' Otis said and Mouch nodded as they walked towards the firehouse. The other shift just came walking out and laughed as they overheard it.

''Don't worry, Casey is already there.'' They laughed and curious Otis and Mouch walked inside the common room, saw their lieutenant on the couch, fast asleep and snoring loud.

''Should we wake him up?'' Otis whispered softly.

''Well, he is on my couch and I need to sit here?'' Mouch whispered back.

''I know something, but we will need more manpower.'' Otis whispered and they walked to the lockers to get changed, the other man joining them and they walked to the couch then, Cruz, Otis and Capp ready to lift up the back of the couch and they slowly started lifting the back off, Matt tumbling off the couch, falling onto the floor, the men laughing.

''Not funny guys.'' Matt yawned.

''You have to lieutenant the shit out of truck again, not sleep on the Mouch couch.'' Kelly teased him.

''Sorry, the babies kept me and Gabby up most of the night.'' Casey said then as he sat up and they immediately felt bad for waking him up like this. They all laughed then, Matt as well.

''Casey, my office!'' He heard then and he walked after Boden.

Casey sat down across the desk and looked at Boden.

''Are you sure are ready to come back to work?'' Boden asked then. He was concerned because Matt looked really tired. He had dark bags under his eyes.

''I am good chief.'' Matt said, even though he was tired.

''Are you sure, because if you are too tired, there is no shame in waiting a few more shifts.''

''No, I want to come back.'' Matt said then, ''and I do feel good enough. I need to get back to work.''

''Okay, but please make sure that you are not too tired, I don't want you to put the men or yourself in any danger because you are tired.''

Matt nodded understanding.

''Anything else?'' He asked then as he was also worried that he might get in trouble if he kept asking.

''No. good you are back.'' Boden smiled then and Matt nodded, getting up and walking to his own office then. They needed the income of his work so it was time he needed to get back at work.

Gabby sat on the edge of the couch by the playpen. She had her arms on the side of the playpen, her chin on her arms as she looked at them. It had been hard these weeks now her mom was not here and now Matt was gone to shift. But she also didn't want to keep stressing all the time, she wanted to enjoy being a mom now. But with these cute babies, it was also not too bad.

Aaron was looking at her with his big blue eyes and even though she knew the eye color of the babies could still change, she hoped that it would remain like this because he had the same big blue eyes as Matt and with his blonde hair, he would possible look a whole lot like his daddy.

Suddenly loud music started again with the neighbors and Gabby sighed upset as she also knew it was because of the babies crying at night and keeping them away, they now did the same to get back at them.

Upset she cuddled with the babies, trying to comfort them.

The next morning, Matt came home from shift. Even though he was really tired he was also excited because of the shift because it had been good and because he was excited to see the babies. Walking inside, he saw Gabby sitting on the couch with Kylie in her arms and he was worried, but Gabby was smiling at the baby girl, so in love with the little girl and caressing over his cheek.

''Hey babe, I am home.'' He whispered as he kissed Gabby, Kylie still asleep in her arms.

''How was shift?'' She whispered as she sat down and smiled, glad that he was back.

''It was good, how are you? How was it to be alone with the three?'' He smiled.

''It was good.'' She smiled.

''Really?'' He asked concerned because she didn't seem honest.

''I haven't slept, the babies kept on crying and the neighbors were so annoying.'' She admitted then and she tried not cry but Matt was so sad when he saw his wife so sad, tired and angry with the neighbors.

''What did the neighbors do?'' He asked concerned, wishing he could hold her but with Kylie still in his arms that would have to wait.

''Loud music, yelling, in the middle of the night they were throwing with their doors.'' She said then.

''Oh, they have to stop!'' Matt said angry, ''They are getting back at us because our babies cry but they are only making it worse, for themselves and for us.''

''I know but I couldn't leave the twins alone to get angry at them yesterday.'' Gabby said sad.

''Oh no.'' He said sad and she tried to give him a sad smile.

''I mean it was a good time with the twins. I - I just wonder why the neighbors suddenly feel like they need to get to us.'' Gabby said.

''Me neither, but i am going to find out.'' He promised as he handed Kylie back to her and ran to the door.

''Matt, don't make it worse!'' He heard behind him but he walked out of their apartment, taking the stairs instead of the elevator and saw the neighbor towards the elevator.

''Hey, sorry.'' Matt said as he just walked his way.

''I need to get the work.'' The man, said turning away from Matt.

''Oh no, you wait.'' Matt said then. ''I hope that I won't hear again that you bother my wife and our three babies while I am on shift. We are trying to take care of three babies and you are making it a whole lot harder.''

''We get to listen music in our own apartment, don't we?'' The neighbor huffed.

''Well you can but if you put it on so loud it wakes up the babies and they start to cry, you make it a whole lot harder for us -''

''I don't know what your problem is man! Cause our problem is your babies crying!''

''Cause you are making it ever harder!'' Matt said angry and he wanted to get so angry also trying to stay calmed when the neighbor pushed past him.

''Whatever.''

Matt wanted to walk after him but also realized he would only make is worse and he ran up the stairs to their own apartment, walking back inside and Gabby shook her head.

''Please tell me you didn't kill him.''

''No, but I wish I could. I am so angry that he made it so much harder for you.'' Matt said then, ''you should have been able to have some good time with the triplets instead of having to be angry about those stupid neighbors. I am sorry.''

Gabby gave him a small smile. ''It's okay, I still had a good time with the triplets. I cuddled a lot with them, bonded with them. Christon loves his pacifier, Aaron prefers my finger and Kylie doesn't want to suck on anything. All three cute, all three born at the same time and siblings, but all three so different.'' She smiled and Matt smiled then, loved hearing this.

All three babies were swaddled in their own little blanket Nancy Casey had knitted for them, all three in a different color but all peacefully asleep.

Matt and Gabby laid together and leaned closer to the playpen.

''I can't wait to see how they end up. I mean, Aaron looks a lot like me..maybe he will become a firefighter... and Kylie looks like you...she will become a badass and Christon...with his balled fists he should become a boxer, like Antonio.'' Matt said then and Gabby smirked, though it was funny and cute what he said.

''Oh but if she becomes a badass like me? What will she do? What do badasses do?'' Gabby teased him then.

''They are amazing women, like you. And everything they do is perfect.'' He smiled then.

''Now you are just talking nonsense.''

''Probably because I am so tired.'' He smirked and she laid her head on his chest as he laid down on the couch.

''Time to sleep then.''

''Yeah, you hear us babies, sleep.'' Matt said as he closed his eyes and they fell asleep, cozy on the couch together.
