Gabby walked into 51 the next morning at the start of shift with a horrible cold." Damn you sound terrible." Shay walks up behind her as they made there way to the coffee." How have you been, you never called?"
"I'm sorry." Gabby turned giving her a smile." But I'm good, really good except for this damn cold." She coughs into a tissue now.
"Oh we are definantly going to buy some lysol for the rig." Shay chuckles just as Matt walks in the common room with a matching cough to Gabby's." Your sick too." She snaps at him." Isn't that a coincidence." Shay turns back to Gabby seeing her eyes on Matt." Did I miss something." She moves to Gabby picking up the ring that rested on Gabby's chest in her fingers.
"Don't." Gabby grabs Shay's hand with her left hand as Shay's eyes grew wide.
"What the hell." Shay grabbed her hand." Is it?" She asked with her eyes looking over to Matt.
Gabby pulled her around the counter by the sink as Matt watched shaking his head smiling." Keep it down." She whispered to Shay." I will tell you everything in the ambo, but for now just wait for us to announce it when everyone gets here."
Severide takes a seat next to Matt watching the two girls whisper from afar." What's up with those two?" He asks Matt pointing to the two women.
"You'll find out soon." He grinned before coughing again.
"Damn you sound horrible." Severide sits back in his chair just as Gabby starts coughing." Her too wonderful." He sighs as Matt shakes his head laughing." Hey what am I missing here?"
"Soon." Matt just grinned at him again.
"Oh." Severide claps his shoulder." You two." He motions between Matt and Gabby." You two got it on didn't you?"
"Something like that." Matt laughs.
"Hey I thought you were engaged?"
"Something like that?" Matt just grinned.
"Ok you are being way to criptic for me."
"Alright alright." Matt stands." Gabby." He waives her over."
"I knew it." Severide shouts.
"Knew what." Gabby smirks at him as she stands next to Matt at the head of the table.
"Seriously you don't know." Shay takes a seat next to Severide as everyone turns their attention to Matt.
"Please don't say we have drills today?" Cruz yawns putting his head on his hands flat on the table." I had a rough night."
"Rough night?" Otis yells ." You were in bed at 10:00 last night room mate."
"No I wasn't." Cruz pops his head back up.
"You guys bicker like a married couple." Mills shakes his head.
Matt clears his throat." Enough guys." He quiets down his men." Gabby and I want to tell you something. As soon as Chief gets in here." He glances out the door to his right seeing him coming out of his office.
Shay sat fidgetting in her chair pulling on Gabby's arm." Come on already." She beams wanting to celebrate the news.
"What is so important?" Mouch pulls his glass down to the tip of his nose turning around in his spot on the couch.
Boden walks in the room now as Shay yells " finally." Throwing her arms up in excitement.
"What did I miss?" Chief looks around the room.
"Casey and Dawson have something to tell us." Severide tells him nodding his head at them.
"Oh is it what I think it is?" Boden smiles.
"It's not what you think." Shay shakes her head making the chief look confused as his smile fell.
"Alright everyone." Gabby chuckles." Why don't you just let us tell you already."
Matt clears his throat as all eyes are on him now. He glances over to Gabby who's smiling before he proceeded." So as you all know Gabby and I knew each other as kids." Matt pauses as everyone sits on the edge of their seats." Over the years that friendship continued to grow."
"And we're getting married." Gabby jumps in holding up her hand showing off her ring.
Everyone sat quiet for a second except Shay who already had time to process the news.
"I didn't see that coming." Severide chuckles standing up." But I'm happy for you both truly."
That is when everyone else started getting to their feet hug and congratulating the couple.
"Honestly I'm not surprised." Boden points at both of them with a smile." I saw the way you two looked at each other. I just didn't think it would be this quick." He chuckles.
"Hey kid." Hermann hugs Dawson." Remember what you promised me."
"I didn't promise anything." She laughs looking at Matt's puzzled look." He wants us to name are first kid after him."
"Ah." Matt nods giving her a look as if to say tell me later.
"Hey lieutenant." Mouch moves up to them." I thought you were already engaged?" He asks as Hermann hits his side." Ow. It's just a question."
"It's a long story Mouch." Matt claps his shoulder." It would probably put you to sleep." He teases.
"Oh um one more thing." Gabby holds her finger up to keep everyone from walking away." The wedding is next weekend."
Shay spit out her coffee." What?" Everyone turned making a face at her." You left that part out."
"Well again it's another long story." Matt smiled to Gabby." But we don't want to wait."
"Hey just tell us where and what time." Hermann smiles as everyone nods in agreement." We will be there."
"Thanks everyone." Gabby wrapped her arm around his waist.
"We're family." Boden nodded as he turned to leave the room." Come see me after lunch give me all the info and I'll schedule some vacation time for you both." He walks out after a nod from Gabby and Matt.
"Sorry." Shay looks at Matt grabbing Gabby's arm." I have to steal her now. Girl stuff." She smiles as her and Gabby walk out of the common leaving Matt with his hands up not wanting to interfere with 'girl stuff.'
