"What exactly happened?" Voight asked as he looked up from his phone.
"Hey, can't we do this after. I don't want to miss the birth of my baby!" Matt yelled angrily.
"You didn't sound very vocal about it at the warehouse!"
"I...Jason was killed in front of me!" He yelled.
"So you didn't kill him?" Voight asked taking a seat.
"NO!" Matt yelled.
Voight looked closer at Matt as he looked at his hands. "You're not sure are you?"
Matt looked up. "No, it all happened so fast and...and...I...I...I was trying to pull the gun away from him and...and...the gun just went off. You were there!" he said in a small voice.
"When Gabby has had the baby we will ask her, she was there from start to finish. She saw it all go down." Voight said with a sigh. "Ok, look. I am going to make an acception-"
Matt looked up hopefully.
"We need to get you to the hospital. I just got a text from Antonio and he said that Gabby needs you." He finished. Just as he started to walk to the door, gesturing for Matt to follow him.
"Come on Gabby! You can do this!" Antonio said as he stroked her head.
"Antonio I...I can't do this!" She shouted, her face was covered in sweat. "I need Matt!"
Antonio's phone went off.
"Gabby, I gotta take this it's Voight and he has Matt. They are on their way!" Antonio said as he stood up and began to walk to the door. "Get me if anything changes" Antonio said the the nurse as she walked out the door.
When Antonio got to the waiting room it was full. Boden, Severide, Brett, Cruz, Herrmann, Mouch, Mills, Tony, Capp, Newhouse, Lindsay, Halsted, Atwater, Burgess, Olinsky and Ruzek were all patiently waiting for an update, worry and apprehension painted across their faces. Matt and Voight were still nowhere to be seen.
"How is she?" Herrmann asked standing up.
"She is still in early stages of Labour. It looks like she has a long way to go." Antonio said.
"Gabby is strong, she can do this." Lindsay said.
"She sure is." Antonio said in agreement.
Then suddenly Matt came running in, closely followed by Voight.
"Where is she?" Matt said panting.
"Follow me!" Antonio said as he jogged down the hallway and pushed open Gabby's door.
"God! Gabby!" Matt said as he ran over to her side.
"Sir, can i ask who are..."
"I'm her Fiance"
"Maaaaatt!" Gabby screamed as another contraction passed.
"Hey, Hey. Gabby look at me!" He said as he brushed some of her sweat drenched hair out of her face.
She looked at him.
"You can do this, Ok, Im here with you and i'm not going anywhere. I promise." He leaned down and kissed her.
"Matt!" Gabby said, her voice raising as another contraction came.
"You can do this!" Matt said as he grabbed her hand.
"I can see the baby's head! Its crowning." The nurse said excitedly.
"Come on Gabby you can do this!"
"One more big push and the head will be out!" The nurse said.
Gabby growling and she strained. Matt squeezing her hand.
"That's it! The head is out! One last huge push and the baby will be out!"
"Matt, I can't do this!" Gabby screamed.
"Hey, come on you're so close! Just one more big push!" Matt replied looking her right in the eye.
Gabby growled as she pushed. Then she suddenly heard a baby crying. She relaxed and threw her head back laughing a little.
"You've done it baby!" Matt said proudly as he leant down and kissed her.
"Does dad want to come and hold baby..."
"Casey" Dawson panted with a huge smile on her face.
The nurse wrapped the baby in a towel and passed it to Casey.
"I will give you to a moment" the nurse said with a smile. "If you want to put him down the cot is over there"
"I don't think i am ever gunna want to put him down" Casey said looking down at the baby and lightly running his thumb over his cheek.
The nurse smiled. "your a lucky man"
"You have no idea" Casey replied as she walked out the door.
"Gabby, he is beautiful!" he said as he slowly swayed. "Gabby?"
He turned round and his heart dropped. He ran over the cot and placed his son down then ran over to Gabby's side. Her head was back, her eyes closed and her mouth wide open. She was slightly blue.
"I need some help in here!?" Matt screamed as he started to take her pulse and start CPR.
Herrrman, Antonio, Lindsay, Cruz and Boden ran in along with four nurses and two doctors.
"What happened?" The doctor demanded but before Casey could answer the nurse that delivered the baby started to retell the birth to the doctor.
Matt felt helpless. he just stood there watching the the doctors swarm around here. Intubating her and carrying on CPR. They had given her two epis and a shot of adrenalin but her life was still slipping away from her at an unbelievable speed.
Then everyone stopped. The room was silent.
"Whats happening?" Matt demanded.
"Sir, calm down!" The doctor said.
"That is my fiance!" He shouted.
"Matt!" Boden paused. "They are doing everything they can!"
He retreated back with his hands up in surrender.
"Doctor. I've got a pulse!" A nurse called.
"Hook her up to the ECG and we can check her vitals." The doctor replied.
The machine started to beep at a familiar rhythm and everyone took a breath of relief.
"She is going to be ok. She will wake up soon. Her heart stopped due to the stress of the birth, thats all. When she wakes up she will be able to go home as normal but i will have to prescribe her some warfarin to keep her blood from clotting until she has fully recovered." The doctor said.
"Thank you so much!" Matt said as he held out his hand. The doctor grasped it and shook his hand.
"She will be fine. I promise" the doctor replied before he walked out of the room after everyone else.
Matt was now alone in the room with Gabby and his new born son. Matt walked back up to the cot and picked up his son and placed his hand on the babys. He wrapped his little fingers around Matt's, making him smile.
"Your mum is a fighter you know" Matt said proudly still looking at the baby.
"If you keep talking to him your ego is going to skyrocket you know" Gabby said sarcastically.
Matt turned around.
"Gabby, Oh My God!" Matt said walking quickly over to her side.
"Can I hold him?" She asked quietly.
"Of course." He replied with a huge smile.
He leant down and passed the baby into Gabby's arms. She looked down and he opened his eyes.
"Matt! Look, he has got your eyes!" Gabby said tearing up. "He has your beautiful blue eyes!"
"Well so he has!" Matt said with a little proud laugh.
"Jamie" Gabby said suddenly.
"Gabby, you don't..." Matt started.
"I want to! It's honouring your father. Also, he looks like a Jamie." Gabby said proudly, a tear rolling down her face.
"I Love you!" Matt said, tears now rolling down his face to.
"Later on we need to talk about the whole Jason thing coz-" Gabby started.
Matt leant down and pressed his lips against hers.
"We can leave it a while. We have better things to do" he said looking down at Jamie and stroked his head lovingly.
Gabby looked at him.
He looked at her.
"What?" He laughed.
"You're amazing. You know that?"
He leant in and kissed her just as everyone walked in.
"HEY! There she is!" Herrmann said as he walked in with the others.
"Hey guys!"
"Awww, he is soo sweet!" Brett and Lindsay said as they saw Jamie.
"He has your eyes Matt!" Severide said as he tapped Matt on the shoulder.
"He sure does!" Matt replied proudly.
"Can i hold him?" Brett asked.
"Yea" Gabby said reluctantly as she handed Jamie over and everyone swarmed around them.
Herrmann walked away from the group up to Matt and Gabby.
"Its a great thing that you guys have done. Parenthood is the best part of life."
