….
Strolling into the firehouse the next day, Antonio seeks out his sister.
Sitting on the bench outside of the firehouse, they start eating the subs that Antonio had bought for them to have for lunch.
"So where's Brett, I thought you'd be spending as much time as possible with her until you have to go back to work." She asks.
"She's got an appointment with Dr Charles right now, so I thought I'd come have lunch with you whilst I wait before head over there to have my appointment and pick her up, plus I have a question for you." He states as he has a sip of his water.
"Shoot." Gabby replies.
"What was with the smirk last night?" he asks.
"Just how you were looking at Sylvie with all of that admiration and love, I saw how you couldn't take your eyes off her when she was holding Louie." Gabby says.
"What of it?" He asks.
"I think it would be great if you two had a kid together, you looked like a real family last night with Louie and it was good to see." She tells him simply.
"Well having a kid is not going to happen Gabby, I've just recently finalised the divorce with Laura and the custody of the kids, I don't need a third kid right now, Sylvie is focused on her career at the moment and with my hours I wouldn't want to leave her with all of the responsibility of the kid, I learnt that from Laura, I'm not going down that road again." He says scrunching up his rubbish and leaning back into the bench and turning to face her a bit more.
"Don't give me that crap Antonio, Sylvie is not Laura and you know that, you need to have some trust in her and that she won't treat you like Laura did, Sylvie would move heaven and earth to be with you, I know she says she doesn't need a kid and she's happy with Eva and Diego, but their teenagers now, and you both deserve some happiness in life, look at me and how hard I had to fight for Matt and Louie because I dragged my feet with things." Gabby says.
"That's all well and good, but if I'm having a kid with Sylvie that's something that we both have to want, and right now definitely isn't a good time for that." Antonio says.
"I know, just think about it Tonio, I'll talk to you later, love you." Gabby says as she leaves her rubbish with him, quickly places a kiss on the side of his cheek and runs towards the ambo as the overhead paging system goes off.
Picking up their rubbish, Antonio puts it into a nearby bin and heads towards Chicago Med.
….
"So how are you feeling?" Antonio asks as he drives them back to their house whilst holding onto her hand.
"Good, speaking to Dr Charles helped me to process things and he gave me some good techniques to manage my anxiety that I have been experiencing lately, he think's I'll be fit to go back to work within the week if I maintain my therapy sessions, what about you?" She asks watching him focus on the road ahead of him.
"Look, I won't lie I do still feel partly guilty I wasn't here to protect you or there to support you but that will be something I'll have to continue working on." He says raising her hand up to meet his lips as he places a gentle kiss to it.
"How did lunch go with Gabby?" Sylvie asks as he parks the car and gets out of the car.
"It was good, interesting." He says as he opens the door for her and follows her into the house.
"What did you guys talk about?" Sylvie asks as she puts her things away.
"We talked about how good you are with Louie and how great you looked holding him." He says before sitting down on the couch.
"Oh yeah." She says with a hesitant smile.
"She also made me realise that we should discuss our future a bit more, around marriage and kids." Antonio says.
"What do we need to talk about, we have everything we need, we have the house together, we have the kids now that you have sorted out the custody with Laura and your divorce, we have each other, I'm happy with what we have, aren't you?" Sylvie asks worriedly.
"God, of course I'm happy Sylvie, I love you and I love our life together, but after seeing you with Louie, especially recently, I know that I'd like to have a kid with you, the kids are growing, and I think you'd be a great mum and I'd like to have at least one more, I'm not exactly getting any younger, and eventually I'd like to marry you." He says holding onto both of her hands whilst looking into her eyes.
"You really want a kid with me and eventually have me as your wife?" she asks shocked.
"Of course, you amazing and I know you're here to stay, you're the love of my life, I can't imagine my life any other way but with you in it." Antonio says kissing her lightly on the forehead.
"I'd love that." Sylvie replies with a big smile on her face.
"Then how about we make the most out of our remaining time off together and get in some baby making practice?" Antonio asks with a smirk.
"I like the sound of that." Sylvie replies grabbing onto the edge of his jacket and pulling him in for a heated kiss.
"God I love you baby." Antonio says.
"I love you too." She replies before squealing as Antonio lifts her into his arms and carries her towards their bedroom.
