2 days later

Matt sat down on the edge of the bed, a little tired from the physical therapy session he had had this morning and he was a little nervous because he knew Gabby and Kelly could be here any minute to walk outside with him. He had been training a lot with the walking and the walking was going really walk, although he could not talk too much while walking, because then he did not get enough air. He looked at the black backpack that was on the floor, Gabby had brought it yesterday as she had gotten it for him so he could go home soon, because he had his own portable oxygen.

Struggling a little bit as he was getting his sweatpants and shirt on, he get ready for them to come because he was really excited to go outside with him. Although he was still recovering he wanted to do as much as he could so he could go home as soon as he could because he was not getting better any time soon, but it would be nice to be home.

A nurse came in and helped the cannula connect to the tank in the backpack. Matt was glad he was mobile now again.

Kelly and Gabby walked in and Gabby looked at the tube that was connected to the backpack now. She also tied his shoelaces as he could not bend forward so far to do it himself yet but he hopes he could soon.

''This works.'' Matt said as Gabby helped him get the backpack on his back. It had a tank of oxygen in it and he had expected it to be a lot heavier, more like his bunker gear. The cannula was connected to the backpack now and he knew he would be stuck with this for a while.

''You look like you are back in middle school.'' Kelly smirked, pointing at the backpack as Matt climbed off the bed with Gabby's help and Matt smirked back, pulling the straps a little shorter so it was even high now.

''Nów I look like I am back in middle school.'' He said with a smile and Kelly laughed, glad that his friend was making jokes again. Kelly then took the bag of Matt's back then so he could get his jacket on as they were going outside for a bit, to the small garden by the hospital. Kelly support Matt as they walked onto the hallway. Gabby walked in front of them, wanted to get a wheelchair for Matt for when they would go outside.

They walked to the elevator and to the ground floor then. Gabby helped him sit down in the wheelchair and he put the backpack on his lap. It was good since to walk but it was good to sit down again because he was already running out of breath again and he couldn't talk with Kelly and Gabby when he was walking. Kelly pushed the wheelchair outside and Matt enjoyed being outside. He could look outside from the window but it was not the same.

It felt good to be outside and he really enjoyed the small round through the garden.

''This thing is going with us now every time.'' Matt said, looking at the bag on his lap.

''We should give it a name.'' Matt smirked then.

''Jenkins the piss guy does not apply now, does it?''

''No.'' Matt smirked. ''Well if you come up with something, tell me.''

Kelly was so glad his friend was laughing and joking again. They went back inside with Gabby and she supported him as they walked back to the room.

''hey Anna.'' Matt said surprised as the saw the little girl and the father waiting by the door of his room and he was very surprised to see the girl and her father. Matt walked to the edge of the bed and wanted to sit down when Anna hugged him.

''You are not asleep this time.''

''No, I am awake now and I am so happy to see you.'' Matt said and he sat down on the edge of the bed.

''My drawing is there!''

''Of course, it is very pretty.'' Matt said with a tired smile. ''Thank you.''

''I made you another one!'' She said as she handed him another one and Matt smiled.

''That is really pretty.'' He said, thanking her. Her drawings were the only ones, now Violet and Eva and Diego were too old to make drawings.

''I will be back in a few minutes.'' The dad said so that the room wouldn't get too crowded. Kelly helped get the backpack from his back and the get him back on the machine here, but Matt signed him to stop, before Anna would really notice and ask questions. He did not want the girl to know he was sick. She did not seem to notice anything now.

''When will you be going home?'' Anna asked as she climbed on the bed beside him and sat beside him. Kelly and Gabby just waited in the room, endeared by how the girl just talked to Matt like nothing was wrong and Matt was smiling.

''In a few days.''

''That is good, because then you will be all better.'' Anna smiled and matt nodded slowly as he couldn't tell her the truth.

''And it is nice because we have him home.'' Severide said. ''Then I don't have to do the dishes anymore.'' He said with a silly face and Anna laughed.

''The hero doesn't have to do dishes.'' Anna said and Kelly shrugged.

''Maybe you are right.''

Anna nodded and Matt smirked, nudged her against her shoulder.

''Can you tell Gabby I don't have to do..'' He had to stop for a while, just pretending he had to sneeze because he didn't want Anna to hear him grasping for air. ''that I don't have to do the laundry.''

''He doesn't have to do it.'' Anna said and Gabby laughed.

His dad walked back into the room and saw his daughter sitting next to the firefighter, but the firefighter seemed really worn out and tired.

''Anna, I think it's time to go home.'' He said as he looked at Matt. ''I think Matt is a little tired.''

''Just a little.'' Matt said and he hugged Anna as they left.

''I will get a nurse for the tube.'' Gabby said as they had left and she walked out.

''She is a sweet girl.'' Severide said, thought Anna was so cute for visiting Matt, even while it was brief.

''Yeah, she is. She is worth saving and I was glad I was able to…''

''It's okay, we can talk tomorrow.'' Severide said but Matt shook his head.

''No I am glad I saved her.'' Matt said then. ''She is not one of the forty-seven victims.''

Kelly nodded with a smile. But he just thought it would have been better if Matt had come out safely as well. He felt bad Matt was in a bad state now, waiting for a long time.

''I wouldn't have done it any other way…..even if I could go back.'' Matt said then, glad that the girl had been here to remember him to that again.

NOTE: Matt walked around and went outside thanks to Kelly and Gabby and after they went outside, Anna paid him a visit too and Kelly and Matt talked but he would not have done it any different if he could go back, because he saved that little girls life.
