Heya guys. So since my other The Ball got deleted due to unknown reasons I thought i would rewrite it with different character going after Gabby. Hope you enjoy.

"Antonio." She rasped, opening her eyes the best she could.
"Hey. Stay awake for me ok." He said, sitting her up a little more.
"I'll try. Everything hurts." She said, closing her eyes.
"Gabby! The ambulance is nearly here. Stay awake for me!" He yelled, shaking his sister a little.
"Come on Gabs don't give up." Shay said, loading her into the back of the ambulance before jumping in with her. "Drive as fast as you can to Lakeshore."
"We need to intubate her." said Dawson's shift replacement.
"Do it." Shay said, checking her BP and pulse. "BP is 150 over 60, pulse is weak but there."
"How much longer?" the girl said, checking to make sure that the tube was in the right spot.
"Five minutes." Antonio replied, from the front, driving as fast as he could before hearing a long continous beep. "Whats happening?"
"She's crashing. Charge to 300...Clear." Shay yelled, as the shock went through Gabby.
"Wait...She's got a pulse. How much longer?" the other girl said, feeling Gabby's neck.
"We're there." He said, pulling up and jumping out and running around the back just in time to see her disappear behind the doors.
"Come one, let's go see what we can find out." Shay said, slightly pushing Antonio towards the door.
"We're looking for Gabriela Dawson. She was just brought in." Shay asked at reception.
"Yeah, she has just been taken into surgery to repair some internal damage." The woman said, looking up at them.
"Thanks. Come on let's go sit down and wait. You going to call Laura?" She asked, as they walked into an empty waiting room.
"Yeah." He said, being drawn out of his trance of staring at the wall ahead.
20 minutes later
"Where is she?" Casey asked, running into the waiting room.
"Surgery." Shay replied, looking up at him.
"How you holding up?" Boden asked Antonio patting the man on the back.
"I'll be fine when I hear news on Gabby." He replied, offering them all a small smile, as he wrapped his arm around Laura.
"She is going to be okay baby." Laura said, kissing his cheek.
"She's a fighter. Remember when the car hit her, she fought then and she will fight now." Herrmann said, the rest of the crew nodding in agreement.
"Thanks guys." Antonio said, smiling at them all.
2 hours later
"You all here for Gabriela Dawson?" Dr Holland, the doctor that treated her the first time and Antonio when he got shot.
"Of course. Is she okay?" Antonio said, standing up with Laura standing behind him.
"We have put her into a medical induced coma to let her body heal from the trauma. She had a small rupture in her abdomen. We are mainly concerned about the head trauma she has suffered. It was quite a blow to the head she received, we will know more when she wakes up in the next couple of days. Two visitors at a time to start with." She said, before taking her leave.
"You guys go first. Laura and I will wait, cause we will stay tonight." Antonio said, even though he wanted to see his baby sister so much.
"Thanks. We won't be too long." Casey said, as he and Shay entered the room.
Gabby's room.
"Hey Gabs, wake up soon sweetie, I need my best friend and partner back." Shay said, kissing her cheek before leaving Gabby and Matt alone.
"Hey babe. You need to wake up. I love you so much baby." He said, kissing her on her cheek before also taking his leave and sending in Cruz and Otis.
Waiting Room
"If there is any change you let us know. If there is anything we can do for both of you, you call us." Boden said, pointing to both Antonio and Laura.
"Yes sir. Thankyou." Antonio said, as they entered her room.
Gabby's room.
"Hey sweetie. You gave us a quite a scare there, you need to wake up Eva and Diego want to see you. And I need your help in the bakery as well." Laura said, taking a seat next to her bed.
"Hey little sis, never do that to me again. I need you to pull through this, I can't lose you either. You have a amazing, supporting family surrounding you who need to see you pull through this and we know you will." Antonio said, holding her hand.
"She is going to be okay baby." Laura said, sitting on his lap.
"She's always been a fighter. I remember when she was little and we were on the trampoline and she fell off." Antonio said, smiling at the memory.
"What did she do?" Laura asked, looking at him.
"Got right back on even though she needed stitches from a cut on her arm." He said, laughing slightly.
"Of course she did. Just like she did when Shay and her were in the ambulance accident." Laura said.
"Yeah, back to work just one day after. Stay here with Gabs. I'm going to go pick the kids up and I need to go interrogate Voight." He said, standing up with her.
"Okay. Love you." She said, kissing him.
"Love you too." He replied, kissing her and then kissing Gabby's cheek. "Love you sis."
District 21
"Detective Dawson, how is your sister?" Officer Atwater asked, following him down to the interrogation rooms.
"Medical induced coma, considering they are worried about the blow to the head she copped from her beating." He said, walking through a door to the viewing room.
"He hasn't said anything. He's been waiting for you to come in." Officer Burgess said, standing next to Atwater.
"Thanks guys. I will take it frome here." he said, walking into the room to relieve Halstead and Lindsay.
"So how is she?" Voight asked, smirking a little.
"She died once on the way but we got her back. But from the beating you gave her she is in a medical induced coma. So why did you do it?" Antonio asked, looking him square in the eye.
"Hm, I thought that blow to head would of done it. I did it because I know she is close to Casey. He put my son in jail for no reason. He didn't know it was wrong." Voight said.
"Bullshit! You've been bailing your son out since the kid was fifteen. He just had to hit rock bottom before he killed or seriously injured someone, which he did. He caused a 16 year old boy to be paralyzed from the waist down." Antonio said, flipping the chair next to him.
"Do you want a confession?" Voight asked, looking up.
"You betcha I do. Scum like you deserve to be behind bars." Antonio said, getting in his face.
"I, Hank Voight, confess to attempted murder of Gabriela Dawson." He called out, as Burgess and Atwater walked into the room.
"I will see you at the trial." Antonio said, watching as they pulled him out the room.
Lakeshore
"Any changes?" Antonio asked, walking into his sister's room with Eva and Diego both carrying handmade get well cards.
"No. I know if you talk to her, her vitals spike. The doctor says it a good thing." Laura said, hugging both her children.
"That's an improvement in my books." He said, sitting down in the spare chair next to ther.
"Aunt Gabby please wake up soon. We love you." Diego said, hugging her slightly.
"See." Laura said, pointing to the spike in her vitals.
"That's a good sign so don't worry." Dr Holland said, coming in checking her charts.
"So she could wake up sooner than you thought?" She asked, looking up.
"Depends on her body and how fast she heals from the trauma to her body." Dr Holland said. "I will be back in a couple more hours."
Firehouse 51
"She better wake up soon." Mouch said, as they all sat around the table.
"Well if its good news, then Antonio messaged me saying that we should talk to her when we visit. Her vitals spike in the good way whenever you talk to her." Casey said, looking around the table.
"That is good news." Herrmann and Otis said, as they started another game of poker.
Lakeshore
"I suggest you go home and get some sleep. Come back tomorrow." Dr Holland said, making the last of her rounds that night.
"Come on. I'll come sit with her tomorrow when you're at work. Claire can look after the shop for a couple of days." Laura said referring to her assistant while standing up and picking Diego who was asleep up.
"Yeah. We're are no use to her if we are tired." Antonio agreed, silently wishing that he could stay all night.
Next day
"I can take the day off." Antonio said, following Eva and Diego into the kitchen.
"No. It was decided on last night. You take the kids to school before going to work, while I check in on the shop and head over to the hospital." Laura said, placing a plate of pancakes on the table.
"Yeah, well those pancakes better be to go because you two are going to make me late for work." Antonio said, watching them quickly grab a couple before running out the door with there school bags.
"I will let you know if there is any changes. Now go. Love you." Laura said, pushing him towards the door.
"Love you too." He replied, closing the door behind him.
Lakeshore
"How is she?" Matt asked, walking into Gabby's room.
"No changes since yesterday. They said when she comes out of the coma they will do a CT scan or and MRI scan." Laura said, sinking further into her seat to get comfortable.
"Have you eaten?" He asked, noticing it was after lunch.
"Yeah. I need a coffee though. You want anything?" She asked, standing up.
"No I'm right thanks." He said, taking the other seat next to Gabby's bed.
"I'll be back soon." She said, before leaving through the door.
"Hey Gabs. Everyone misses you at the firehouse. You will be back in no time, cracking jokes with Otis and Cruz, cooking with Mills, fighting with Severide and Shay. Just wake up soon." Matt said, kissing her hand and watching her vitals spike as he talked to her.
"Matt?" She whispered softly, as her eyes fluttered open.
"Hey. I'm glad to see you awake. How do you feel?" He asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"Sore." She replied, closing her eyes against the brightness of the lights.
"Gabby, glad to see you awake." Dr Holland said, walking into the room and checking her charts. "We are going to take you for a scan and see what damage is there and what you're path of recovery we need to take."
District 21
"Anything on your sister yet?" asked Julie, Antonio's partner.
"Still in a coma. Her vitals spike when you talk to her though." He said, as they sat at their respective desks and filled in the paperwork from their last case.
"At least she can hear you." She said, as his phone rang.
"Dawson...I'll be there as soon as I can. Thanks Matt." he said, standing up and pulling his jacket on.
"What's happened?" Jules asked, following him out to the car.
"She woke up." He replied, getting into the drivers side, while she got into the passenger seat.
Lakeshore
"Hey. Where is she?" Antonio asked, walking into her room.
"Scans. She will be back soon." Laura said, hugging him.
"Can I ask you all to wait outside please." Dr Holland said, walking into her room.
"Is everything ok?" Matt asked, as they walked outside the door.
"Everything is perfect. No lasting damage at all. We just need to settle her back into her room." She said, as they watched her be wheeled back in. "You can come back in, in about five minutes."
Five minutes later
"You can go in now. She is going to be a bit groggy from the pain meds." Dr Holland said, watching as the family walked inside.
"Hey." Antonio said, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
"Hey." She replied, opening her eyes slightly.
"How you feeling?" Laura asked, sitting down in one of the chairs.
"Like I've been hit by a truck." She replied, getting a laugh out of all of them.
"Voight has been put away. We are waiting to hear on a trial date." Jules said, from the back of the group near the wall.
"I'm glad you caught the bastard." She said, smiling a little.
"I think we should let you rest." Laura said standing up and kissing her cheek, noticing that her eyes were drooping slowly.
"Good idea." Antonio said, also noticing, he also stood up and kissed her cheek. "We will be back later with the kids."
"I'll see you later. Going to go inform the guys." Matt said kissing her forehead.
"I'll come back tomorrow. Get better soon." Jules said, squeezing her hand and following her partner and everyone out of the hospital room as Gabby fell asleep.
Firehouse 51
"She is awake. There is no lasting damage and she should be home by next week." Matt said, walking into the common room where all the men were sitting.
"Ay! Thats great." They called with big smiles on their faces.
