One week later

Gabby walked into the firehouse. She had to talk to Boden about being not at work, she wanted to go back but she wasn't sure if she could leave Matt on his own because he wasn't mobile yet. But she could talk to him now.

Kelly also walked towards the firehouse, a bit nervous to get back but also excited. Matt had seemed a bit upset this morning that he got to go back while Matt was still stuck at home for at least one and half month.

As he walked into the common room, everybody seemed so happy to see him and relieved he walked to his locker, he just had been worried that the man would react differently to him but instead everything seemed like before and he realized that maybe he had been too worried about it. his friends always accepted him and he had been so worried and he felt stupid about it now. He felt happy about this shift and knew that it would be fine.

Gabby was sitting on the chair in front of Boden.

''Look, I know I can't keep staying away from chief, I know that. But I am also not sure if I can leave Matt alone while I am on shift.'' She said and Boden nodded understanding.

''How much longer do you think you will need to be off work.''

''At least…a week. We are hoping that next week his thigh has healed enough that the cast can go off, then hopefully he can change the cast for a leg brace. That would mean he would be able to get around on his crutches.'' Gabby said then.

Boden nodded and shrugged. ''Look, if you need more time off that is fine. I get that you want to be with Matt and if he needs you at home, that is the place you have to be.''

''I know chief…but I need to start working soon again.'' She said then. ''Financially it's getting a mess. Insurance covers his care but not me being absent.''

''I understand.''

''So expect to see me a back in a week. That should happen.'' She smiled and Boden nodded.

''I hope so, he must be going crazy, stuck sitting at home.''

''He is, and he is driving me a bit crazy as well.'' Gabby smirked although she wasn't upset he was stuck at home or anything. It was just that he could get cranky was he was bored and he always took it out on her. Not because he wanted to but he always took everything out on the person he loved the most.

She just walked to Severide's office, wanting to check how he was doing.

''hey, how are you far?''

''An hour back, but glad to be back.'' Severide said smiling and he thought it was nice Gabby came to check on him real quick. It was good to be back. The people here didn't care about the scar on his face.

''Good, will see you tomorrow morning.''

''See you Gabby…please just make sure Matt is okay, please? I think he is really upset I get to go back to work and he is stills tuck on the couch.''

''Yeah, I think so, but it will be fine. He will be back in a few weeks.'' Gabby said as she waved at Kelly and closed the door then, happy that Kelly seemed to be so content being back at work. She was sure that he would be fine and she was glad the he was starting to feel better and better.

She drove home and was surprised when she saw Matt was doing their administration on the couch.

''What are you doing.''

''Doing something.'' He sighed as he closed it.

She looked a bit surprised as he really hated administration and she always did it. She asked him many times to do it but he never did it.

''Finished.'' He smiled then.

''Are you really doing the administration?'' Gabby asked surprised, wanting to take the folder where they kept all their administration then.

''I am going crazy here.'' He said as he handed the folder then, sighing deep.

''I know, but next week you will be able to get around on crutches. I am sure about that.'' She said as she put it back in the cabinet where he had grabbed it. She walked back to the couch then and laid her head against his shoulder. She got that he was upset today,

He nodded and grabbed her hand.

''I hope so, one more week on this couch and I will actually watch the Kardashian reruns out of boredom.'' He smirked and they shared a kiss.

''Antonio invited us to come. They are going to interrogate him again before the trial. I wanted to bring it up during dinner but I knew Kelly wouldn't handle it well.'' Gabby said and Matt nodded.

''I want to go.''

''Are you sure? It might not be easy to listen to what he is telling.''

''It's almost five weeks ago. I can handle it.'' Matt said then and she nodded, wanting to go there with Matt since it would maybe help him.

Kelly walked to the squad table, joining the men for lunch.

''finally given up on catching up with all the reports?'' Capp smiled as he moved one of the pizza boxes on the table towards Severide.

''Yeah, you all did great saves though.''

''We are glad you are back now.'' Tony said and Kelly nodded.

''I am really happy to be back to.

The alarm bell went off then and as Kelly jumped up, he felt bad because there was something wrong, but he was also happy that he got to go on a call again, jumping into the squad truck as they drove away.

Matt was looking as Antonio was interrogating Patrick Johnson, he was cringing because he was shocked to see the man again. Matt tried to listen to all of the questions, but just looked Patrick Johnson made him angry. this man had tried to kill so many people and it upset him to see him again. He had through that they had gotten him but he had been one step ahead of them.

The interrogation was over and Antonio brought Patrick out and before Gabby could stop him, Matt moved the wheelchair towards the hallway.

''Hey Patrick.'' Matt yelled angry.

''Oh, look who is still alive.'' Patrick said and Antonio wanted to drag him on but Patrick didn't want to walk.

''Yes, I am and you are going to jail.'' Matt said then.

''Given the fact you are here alone I guess your other firefighter buddy is gone.'' Patrick smirked then. ''You thought you had it all figured out when you pushed me on the ground in the tower, getting me arrested but hell did you know it was only starting.''

''My friend is still alive, he got back on the job today.'' Matt said then, trying to keep his voice strong.

''That's a pity.'' Patrick just said. ''But I think I did more than enough damage. Sure looks like I did more than enough to you. Are you really sure you are so safe now?''

Matt shivered for a second, the man that had always seemed like a nice guy, acted like one, was so stone cold. Antonio took him away now and Gabby started pushing the wheelchair the other way,

''I am so angry about what he said, that he wanted us dead.'' Matt said, his hands shaking.

''Matt he is crazy.'' Gabby said then. ''He tried to kill so many people.''

She saw Matt was struggling after what Patrick had said now and they left the police station. She helped him back in the car and grabbed his hand.

''Hey, Matt, just forget what he said. He is crazy.''

''Gabby, he implied that we are not safe yet. What if he does have somebody that works together with him and that is still after us?'' Matt said then and she looked concerned as his eyes filled with tears.

''If he comes after us…and he hurts you, I will never forgive myself for getting involved in this.'' He said then.

''Calm down, I am sure that he was just trying to get to you.'' She said then and cupped his face in her hands and suddenly he started to cry, burying his face in her neck and she caressed him over his back. Maybe this had been a bit too much for him, although it had seemed that he was okay, there was still a lot going on under the surface and she was sure he was so angry with the man he was dealing with.

''It is going to be fine…Antonio heard him say it. I am sure Antonio would know if somebody was working together with him. We are going to be okay, I am sure.'' She said then and finally he nodded, drying his tears.

''Sorry.'' He sniffed then.

''It's fine. You know I am always here if you need to talk.'' She smiled then and they shared a kiss. She drove home, hoping he would really talk to her if he needed.

Kelly jumped down out of the squad truck, happy to be back at the firehouse, but the save had been such a good one – the situation had been terrible, but it had been great to save all these people. These people had been so happy to see him and the realized that the person that had the biggest problem with the scars, was himself.

NOTE: Kelly is going back to work which upsets Matt a bit since he is still stuck at home and he still will be for some time. That is why Gabby went to he firehouse to consult with Boden about when she can come back although Boden said she had to take the time that awes needed for Matt. Matt and Gabby went to the police station now and Matt saw Patrick Johnson and he got really upset then, Patrick pushing him onto the edge again. Kelly is doing a lot better now, happy to be at work.

Coming up: One week later, Matt has the X-ray that sees if he can get onto crutches, Gabby goes back to work and she and Kelly receive a call that is oddly familiar.
