The next morning

''Please Gabby…it is the last shift….'' She heard Matt say on the other end of the line, his voice breaking.

''Matt I can't come pick you up.''

''I will ask the nurses to get me ready so you can take me and it will only take a few minutes to walk here with me.''

''Matt it is not about the time, it is about you, I don't want you to be in pain.'' She said.

''Gabby I feel hurt not being there.'' He said and his voice sounded so sad it hurt her too.

''I got to go for a bit.'' She said then and hung up, as she didn't know what to say to him and laid her hands on her face. Kelly sat beside her and his phone started to shake now.

''If it is Matt, you are not going to pick up.'' Gabby said, pointing at his phone and Kelly looked at the display.

''Matt.'' He said and Gabby shook her head.

'He keeps calling me to come pick him up so he can be with us the last shift. I get that he wants to be here but yesterday evening they had to sedate him because he was in so much pain so I don't want him to come here today, because it will probably only will make it worse.'' She said concerned.

''If he really wants to come, who is going to stop him? He is probably tearing down the hospital now….'' Kelly said.

''If he wasn't immobile, there would be sterile furniture flying to through the room now.'' Herrmann said as he butted into their conversation.

''Okay, I will pick him up….I will ask the nurses for some pain killers.'' Gabby said.

About an hour later, after the nurses had gotten him ready she had picke dup very fast, but luckily there hadn't been many calls yet. She pushed the wheelchair towards the driveway and the young girl with the cookies came running towards them.

''Did ou eat the cookies.''

''Oh…yeah..they were really good, thank you.'' Matt lied. They were in his rooms and ht enurses and enjoyed them but he still couldn't eat.

Matt looked at the CFD man that came here to see the protestors all again.

''Please let me have a word with him.'' Matt said then.

''That doesn't seem like a good idea.'' Kelly said but before he could really do something, Matt's right hand grabbed the wheel of the wheelchair and with the little power he had in his arm he started to wheel towards the man, his left not even wanting to move a tiny bit and he sighed.

''Matt, stop it.'' Gabby said then but she pushed the wheelchair towards the man so Matt could talk to him and the man was turned away from him, Matt cleared his throat and the man looked behind him then, at Matt.

''You shouldn't close this house, look at all these people here, who will help them? A truck that has to come from another neighborhood? That could cost lives, what is more important, money or lives?'' Matt suddenly said then and Gabby and Kelly looked a little shocked as he sounded so angry.

''When I fell from that window, I was saving a girl that almost died in that fire, if the fire department had arrived later, she would have been dead now…is money really move important?'' He said then and the man of the CPD seemed really displeased by Matt raising his voice at him.

''Good luck with your recovery, again.'' The man just said and Matt gritted his teeth.

''What a moron, what a freaking moron.'' Matt said then, almost so loud that the man could almost hear it. Gabby pushed the wheelchair inside and looked at him.

''Calm down, I don't know you like this.'' Gabby said, almost scared.

''I don't want to be worthless and in the hospital while they shut this firehouse down.'' He said then and Gabby shook her head, kneeled down on her knees so he could look at her and shook her head again.

''You are not worthless, can you stop saying that? Because you know it is not true.'' She said then and he tried to nod, but was not able to and she smirked as it looked pretty silly and he laughed as well and she was glad to see him laughing again. He realized again that as long as they were smiling and laughing, they would get through it. That he had to cheer up and tell himself that he was not worthless.

''Can you come to the hospital tomorrow morning after shift…I need to talk to you…about what has been bothering me.'' He asked then and she nodded, kissed him and knew it was time to bring him back to the hospital because he seemed to be struggling now.

''Come, I will give you the shot.'' She said and she took the bag of his wheelchair, taking the painkiller and the syringe out and was very careful before injecting it.

''don't push air in please.'' He said dryly.

''Would be an easy way to get rid of you.'' She smirked but kissed him then as she injected the painkillers, hoping it would help him a little.

''You could also just push me in front of the trucks.'' He said dryly and she pushed the wheelchair, softly.

''You call that a push? Jee, I have to be your lieutenant again, candidate. That is not a push.'' He smirked and they shared a kiss, ready to get outside again. She was glad he was finally opening up again. Kelly was right, it was good to take him here after all, no matter if this was the last shift.

As she pushed the wheelchair outside to bring him back to the hospital, a young girl came running their way and Matt frowned as he was pretty sure he would have to know her but he could not remember from what.

''I am Julie, the girl you saved from the building.'' She smiled and Matt smiled back.

''How are you feeling, Julie. I am so happy to see you.''

''I am fine but you look hurt.'' She said sad.

''I am, but I will get better.'' He said then and as he said so, he looked up at Gabby as he was making a promise to her. He really had to recover, for Gabby and even if the voice in his head kept saying he was worthless, he still had to fight because finally he realized that that voice in his head, was his dad and his dad was gone. He had to start rebuilding and talk with Gabby about it.

The man of the CFD got ready to walk to the car when he suddenly saw that the little girl hugging the injured firefighter. He stopped with walking, his colleague told him to keep walking but he kept looking.

The little girl held the firefighter as well as could and he had his arm around her.

''Thank you for saving me.'' She said then and the CFD man felt some tears in his eyes as this moved him.

''You know what…maybe we should find a way to keep this house open. That we don't have to close a house at all this time.'' The man said then, realizing that what the injured firefighter had said was right. It shouldn't be about the money but the lives they saved.

NOTE: Gabby was on her last shift at 51 and Matt kept calling her that he wanted to be there and called Severide as well and finally they brought him there and he talked to the man of the CFD but the man didn't want to listen to him. Gabby finally got through to Matt and he promised they would talk. After that h met the girl he saved that was there to protest as well and they shared a hug and it finally changed something for the CFD man.

Upcoming: the visit takes its toll on Matt. Matt talks to Gabby though, the firehouse hears news from the CFD.
