Hi
How are you?
Finally, the waiting crossover between Chicago P.D. and Chicago Fire is on the TV. I couldn't see the episode of the last night of Chicago Fire yet, because it's really late when NBC trasnmite it in televesion (I think that where I am it could be really early in the morning) so I have to wait a little bit =)

Chapter 10: The right thing
It was amazing to be with his friends again after one week of not seeing them. They told him everything that happened in the firehouse during his absence, some of the funniest call and why they didn't go to visit him in the hospital.
All of them knew that in the past he had some problems with his sister and mother. So, when they saw that they were there for him, and how much they missed him, all of them thought that it would be better give them some time. However, everyday at least one of them called his sister and asking how he was doing.
Few hours later of the little surprise, all of them thought that he needs to rest. Thus, they were leaving not without promised that they will come back to visit him or maybe they could take him to the firehouse one day.
"Matt" chief Boden said "I am glad that you are fine and with your family again. You deserve to have some time with them" he, a part of Severide, Gabby and Shay, was one of the person how knew why his mother was in prison.
Before he arrived to the firehouse, the deputy chief told him that he was a troublemaker guy that during his instruction at the academy punched someone in his face. They didn't know what the reason was.
However, as soon as he entered by the first time in his office he asked him what happened. At the begging he refused to tell him the truth but finally he told him what happen.
Flashback
It has been one week since Matt started to work as a candidate in the firehouse fifty-one. In reality he should have started one month ago, but he was suspended after he punched Ted Griffin, other of the candidates.
He wasn't the kind of person who punched someone without a reason. He doesn't know how but Griffin discovered that his mother was in prison after she killed his father, and he told to everybody in the academy. Bother by his comment he punched in his face in the locker room. In that moment he didn't mind if they suspended him, all that he wanted was that he stopped of saying that comments against his family. And it worked, the next day and the following everybody acted like nothing happen and never say any word about his family.
"Candidate Casey" chief Boden said since his office "to my office now"
"Chief" he said entering in his office "do you wanted to see my?"
"Have a sit" Matt sat in front of him feeling nervous. He thought if he could have done a mistake in their last call but he didn't anything wrong and his lieutenant doesn't complain. "Do you mind to explain me what happen one month ago in the academy? The deputy chief told me that you are a troublemaker and if you are then we have a problem. I don't want troublemaker in my firehouse. So tell me"
"I am sorry sir, but it's not of your business"
"If you stay in my firehouse your personal problems are my problems too" he said "so tell me or leave"
"Sir, it's personal" he thought that in the firehouse he could have a fresh start since nobody know about his past except the two other candidates that entered one month ago.
"Nice to meet you. Clean your locker and leave. They will send you to another firehouse"
"what?" he said not couldn't believe what he said "Why? I didn't do anything wrong
"this is a dangerous job and you need to trust in your partner. You punched to a brother firefighter"
"Chief" he said "My mom is in prison" he said ashamed looking to the floor "she killed my father two years ago. The guy that I punched, Ted Griffin, I don't know how but he found out and started to say thing about my family and about my mother" Chief Boden rose from his chair and sat in his desk in front of him "I just wanted to he stopped to say this kind of thing"
"firehouse fifty-one is a big family. We take care one to each other, here nobody is going to say anything about your family. You have my word" he squeezing his shoulder "And now, I think that shower need a good clean" he said smiling
"Thanks, sir"
End of the flashback
"Thanks chief" he said smiling
"Give a call when you see your doctor again and say me when you have rehab, ok? I need to do some informs about your injury for the insurance"
"Yeah. Sure I go to his office in three days; I will ask him when I can start with it"
"Get well" and he offered him a handshaking and a hug "And see you soon"
"We are living too" Kelly said with Shay near to him
"We are really glad that you are fine Casey" and she kissed him in his cheek
"Thanks for coming and for that" he said refereeing to the party and the ramp
"You are welcome" Kelly said "I think well I am asking me if" he made a little pause necking in front of him to make eye contact "Would you like that one of this days I pick up you and we have a guys night, like in the past. I own you an apologized. A big one" he said smiling
"Yeah. That would be great" he said happy "But you are not the only one who own an apologized"
"Good. I will text you or call you in a few days" and both of them hugged him before leave "take care"
"You too"
"Hey! How are you doing?" Gabby asked
"A little overwhelmed" He recognized. She was the only one in which he could trust about his real feeling, more than with Hallie and he doesn't know why "I mean until the accident I was nobody for them, they gave me silence treatment and now it's like something happened"
"I know. I also did it"
"I am not going in that way Gabby" he said holding her hand "it's good that everything come back to be like in the past. And we started to talk to each other again. I missed our friendship"
"Ditto" she said laughing "I have to leave now but I will come back tomorrow and cured your burns"
"You don't have to do it. I can do it by me own"
"I would like to see how you cure your injuries" she said ironically "I want to do it" she hugged him and kissed him in his check "See you tomorrow"
"Are you leaving Gabby?" Christine asked behind her. She overhead part of their conversation and she thought that need to spend more time together. Maybe his brother could say her how he felt about her. She was sure that his brother loves her but he was always a little shy in question of love.
"Yeah. It is a little late and I know that all of you have to be tired it has been a long week. So, good night"
"Why not you stay for dinner?" she proposed "And after all do you have did for us, I am not accepting a "no" as a respond"
"That would be nice but I don't know" she looked Matt who was smiling about the idea of she stays for diner. "Ok. Thanks"
"Jim is finishing the dinner; I am going help him to set up the table"
The dinner was perfect; it was the first time for Matt that he was enjoying a familiar dinner with his family just talking about everything without care about the problems. Gabby was sitting in front of him and sometime they share between them some shy smiles that weren't unnoticed by his mother. Matt even caught few times Gabby looked him while he speak with his sister.
"Did you like the dinner, Gabby?"
"It was really good. I have to recognized that it is the best vegetarian pasta that I ever taste"
"It was a Vegetarian-dish?" Matt asked shocked because he never thought that it was.
"Yeah. I am a vegan" Christine said "So we only cooked vegetarian dishes"
"Since when are you a vegan?"
"Nine years"
"Whoa" he said surprised "say me; it's that thing of the eggs?" he said joking
"I can't believe that you asked that" Christine said surprised
"No common on explain me" Both of them started to laughter. They missed their little jokes that they used to do when they were younger.
"You will discover what being a vegan mean in the next couple of days little brother" she said joking too. In the table of them started to laugh again. "Violet honey, have you finished your homework?"
"Almost" she said "I have to finish writing the story for the literature class. Grandma, do you want to help me?" she said surprising all the adults. It had been only a few days since she meet her in person but it's looked like if her grandma was there will her during all her life.
"I would love it" Nancy said after looked to her daughter and son-in law for their permission.
"Jim, why not we leave this two alone here talking while we clean the dishes?" she had the feeling that her brother need to speak with Gabby alone; maybe he was thinking about her all the morning and this was why he was so distractive. However, he needed a little push for do it.
"No. I will do it" Gabby said rising of her chair
"No. It is not necessarily, you are our guest" Jim said taking some of the dirty dishes
They leave the living room and Matt looked to her not knowing what to say. He rolled his eyes and said.
"Can I ask you something? I would appreciate your help in something"
"Yeah! Say me" she pull his wheelchair to the couch and she sat in front of him so they were in eye level again.
"I am in the middle of a big dilemma. And I don't know what to do"
"Maybe if you say me what your dilemma is I can help you"
"I am in a big problem" he said holding her hands "And I don't know what to do"
Their faces were separated only by few centimeters.
"I…I" he felt his month dry and he couldn't say anything. "It's complicated"
Gabby thought that he was so cute and sweet when he wasn't able to find the proper words. She liberated her hand and placed them in both side of his face and approached him to her kissing him in his lips.
Her lips tasted better than he ever thought, they were soft and warm. She ran her tongue over her lips requesting access to his mouth, while her hands gave little tugs of his short blond hair. Matt did not stay behind in the kiss and countered by changing the angle of the kiss. His hands were caressing her cheeks. Their hearts beat at high speeds on their chest.
Matt's cell start to sound making them to break the small kiss that they were sharing. Matt took it and saw that it was a text from Hallie. "Had you think about what I told you last night? I love you XOXO Hallie"
"I love you Matt" Gabby said placing her forehead again his "I have been since I met you in the locker room five years ago" she was to kiss him again but he moved back.
"This is a mistake. I can't, I am sorry Gabby" he said. He could see how her eyes were filling with tears "I can't do this"
"I have to go" Gabby said shocked not couldn't believe what he said some seconds ago. How he could play with her felling? If it was a mistake why he kiss me? He broke her heart again.
"Gabby, please don't go. You are my best friend" he hold her hand "And why you react like that? you are with Mills"
"Peter and I broke three weeks ago because of you and we were together just one night. I couldn't be with him while in reality my heart knows that I love you" she was ashamed. "Why it has to be always the same story?"
"What it's going on, guys?" Christine entered in the living room after heard the screams.
"Nothing" Gabby said "thanks for the dinner" she ran to the door drying her tears.
"Gabby wait?" Christine said running after her. She could not reach her, she was running down the street looking for his car.
"What happened, Matt?" His brother was looking to the floor deep in his thought.
"We kissed she said me I love you"
"and why is she crying?"
"I can't be with her"
"Why? She loved you and she is a nice girl. Your eyes shine every time you mention her name"
"Hallie is pregnant and I gotta do what I gotta do, the right thing. I am going to marry with her. The baby needs his father"
"Baby?" Christine said shocked
"Yes, Hallie is pregnant and I am the father of the baby" he repeated rubbing his forehead. Why everything have to be so complicated?
"And you, do you love her?"
"I don't know we broke because she didn't want that we have a baby. I loved her and now she is pregnant and I have to be part of the life of this baby" he was scared he didn't wanted to marry with her immediately but he felt that he have to do the right thing, after all, it was his fault that she was pregnant. Her family was very conservative and religious "I have to do the right thing, alright? You can't deny the truth and avoid its consequences"
"I don't ask if you love Hallie. I was refereeing to Gabby"
"I don't know I am confused. I loved her"
"how many months she is pregnant?" Nancy asked entered in the living room
"Mom" Matt said
"I asked how many months? Because when we met her in the hospital she don't look like if she was pregnant"
"Three and a half months" he said angry
"When was the last time that you guys?" Christine asked not couldn't believe that she was pregnant "you know"
"I am not going to tell you" he said rolling his eyes
"Respond the question Matthew"
"Between three and four months" he said ashamed
"It is impossible that she is pregnant. At that time you could notice her belly yet. Do you want that I show you all the photos that I have from when I was pregnant white Violet"
"One more thing if she is pregnant we she didn't tell you before?" she asked "I mean I discovered that I was pregnant of you when I had a delay in my period of five days. The day that I discovered that I was pregnant with you and with your sister, growing in my inside" she said touching her belly "were one of the best days of my life. Just thinking about it, I still could feel the anxiety and excitement of wanting to get home and tell it to your father"
"She just found it last week" he yelled
"She is a liar" Christine said "you know that you are pregnant when you have a delay"
"Who the fuck do you think you're for talking like that about her? You do not know her like I do. She would never lie to me with something like that knowing how important os for me to be a father" he yelled annoyed of her comment.
"Who I am?" his sister yelled "I am the one who looked how broken Gabby was after the surgeon told us that your chance of surviving was 20% and 10% in each surgery. She didn't leave your side in any moment during the two days that you stay in coma. In any moment. Hallie never was there"
"She said that you two didn't allow her to stay with me in my room?" immediately he regretted to say those words. After all that his sister was doing for him, he knew she did not deserve that he threw something like that in her face or yelled her. "I am sorry"
"Is not it time that you learn that sometimes people lie?" His mother said
"Who was the one who stayed with you while the nurse was curing your burns? She. She was there spite of not being able to see how much you were suffering. After you get your burns cured you were so exhausted that you fallen sleeping immediately, but she were so broken. Who was the one how looked after you during the night and you have nightmares? She. She was the first one who asked who you were after each medical test. And do you want to know why she did those things? Because she loves you Matt. And you blew it. It's time that you open your eyes"
There was a deep silence. Nobody knew what to say. Without knowing how, everything turned around 180 °. Which before was happiness for the getting back in touch with a brother, a sister or a mother that it was believed to have lost long ago, it was now anger, disappointment and sadness. Everyone was very hurt by the words of the other. Words were like swords. If you used them in the wrong way, they will become the worst weapons.
"Why not we go to bed and sleep a few hours? You can continue your talk tomorrow when all of you are calmer" Jim said rubbing her wife's shoulder
"Good night" Christine said still angry with her brother.
"Get some rest son"
Matt felt annoying, why everyone was angry with him? He was just trying to do the right thing.
"Are you alright Matt?" Jim said
"Yeah I am fine"
"Do you want to talk" he said sitting were Gabby was sitting before
"I am confused. Hallie and I broke few months ago she didn't wanted kids, but now she is pregnant and I don't know what to do. I love her, but" he couldn't explain how he feel.
"But not in the same way right?" he said finishing his sentence
"It has been three months since we broke. A lot of thing has happen in that time"
"You always wanted to have kids and you are going to have one. So, how do you fell about it?"
"Yeah, I wanted but like I said, Hallie no. And I know it since a couple of year after start our relationship. I think that I fell nervous and like if I doing the worse mistake of my life and I don't understand why. What do you think that I should do?"
"I can't say what you have to do. But if I were you I will talk with Hallie and find out the true about her pregnancy. After that I will figure out what I want to do with my life. Do you want to go to bed?"
"Yeah. I need to think about everything that happened today"
"I understand you. Some many things had happen today" he said pulling the wheelchair.
And slowly, as always, on the evening the street shine and people come out to play. However, Matt was again deep in thought before the accident he knew as fight with his problems, he did not care that no one spoke to him in the firehouse. But now, his world had overturned and he needed to find answers to your questions.
The sun moves and it gave way to moon and with it the night begins. The day finishes but not the problems. The problems are still there tormenting you until you find the answer;
Hello
I know this chapter has been very short and I'm not really happy with how I wrote it. I promise that in the next I will be much more drama between Matt/Hallie and Matt/Gabby.
Will Matt found what the true is?
Tomorrow I will start with a new chapter of "How to save a life".
Good night (or morning)
