Gabby's POV
It's been three months. Three months since everything went down with Ben. Three months since I almost left behind the people who cared about me most. I was at my brothers house that day celebrating my nephew Diego's 9th birthday. Antonio was at the grill talking to Erin, Jules and Jay, My parents were there along with some guys from intelligence. Matt was also there, Matt and I had been dating for three months but it felt longer than that. Matt had been my rock throughout this whole ordeal with Ben. I knew there wasn't anybody else. Matt was the one and I knew it. I watch from my lounge chair as Matt played in the pool with Eva and Diego I smile graced my face.
"He's good with them?"
I look up to see Laura standing next to me pointing towards where Matt was with Diego and Eva
"Yeah" I agree as Matt looks up at me and waves. I wave back before turning to my sister in law who took a seat next to me.
"Matt's a good guy" she says "Antonio even likes him and he doesn't like any of the guys you date"
"Yeah Matt's great" I say looking back towards the pool where Matt had Diego over his shoulder Diego was laughing I smiled and pulled out my phone to take a picture.
"Aunt Gabby help us" laughed Diego and Eva as they came running over to me with Matt right behind them
"Oh no your aunts not gonna save you now" says Matt as he lifts Diego and Eva up they start laughing and calling me to help
"Sorry guys your on your own" I say laughing as Matt throws both Eva and Diego into the pool. He them walks over to me and sits on the edge of the lounge chair
"How are you doing?" He asks even after three months he was still worried. I don't blame him though as I had been having nightmares
"I'm fine" I say
"Good" says Matt as he goes to lean in to kiss me but as he does he feels water hitting the back of his head "what the?" He says turning around to see Diego laughing holding a water gun "oh it's on now" says Matt getting up and going after Diego I laugh as I watch them. Before picking up my magazine but as I'm reading I get squirted with the water gun
"Ahh" I cry out putting the soaked magazine down. I look up to see Matt hand over the water gun to Diego and look away laughing "oh you think this is funny" I say as I get up and walk towards them
"No of course not" says Matt trying to surpress a laugh
"Uh huh" I say before bending down and whispering in Diego's ear. Diego smiles and nods eagerly
Matt notices this. "Whats he smiling about?" He asks but I just smile and shake my head before Matt can say anything Diego starts squirting him with the water gun. "Okay okay I surrender" says Matt holding up his arms.
"Okay Diego I think Mr. Tough Fireman has had enough" I tease as I take in a soaking wet Matt.
"Oh your funny" he says
"Very" I say laughing "oh no" I say noticing Matt with his arms out like he wants a hug I turn and start running but Matt catches up to me and pulls me into a hug. "Matt your a wet" I try to pull away but Matt hugs me tighter.
It's ten minutes before Matt pulls away and when he does I'm soaking wet. "I hate you" I say
"No you don't" says Matt smiling I can't help but smile back
"Your right I don't but I will get you back for this" I say pointing at my shirt that was now wet. I hear Antonio call us telling us dinners done.
"Looking forward to it babe" he says
giving me a peck on the lips before walking off.
I shake my head before following him.
Matt's POV
After we had eaten and sang happy birthday to Diego, the adults were hanging out on the porch while Diego and Eva were playing in the yard. I looked over from where I was sitting with Antonio at Gabby she was talking to Jules and Laura. Laughing at something Jules said I couldn't help but smile at her I loved seeing her smile it brighten up my day as I watched her I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her I run my hand over the pocket that held the ring. "It's now or never" I think to myself "I will be right back" I tell Antonio. Antonio nods before turning back to talk to Jay. I walk over to Gabby. "Excuse me ladies can I take Gabby here" I say
"Sure" says Laura smiling as she knows what I'm about to do "I have to get the kids ready for bed anyways" she gets up and goes to grab the kids
"Yes?" Asks Gabby once were alone
"Let's go for a walk" I say she nods and gets up from her chair. I lead her over to the pool the glare of the moon bounces off the pool
"What do you want to go swimming again?" Gabby asks looking at the pool "Matt?" She turns around but when she does I hear her gasp "Matt whats going on?" She asks
"Gabby the moment I first saw you step into that firehouse I knew you were the one. I fell in love with you, and after everything that happened with Ben I know no one is guaranteed tomorrow. You are the most strongest and singleminded person I know. I love you Gabriela Marie Dawson and I would love to spend the rest of my life with you. Will you marry me?"
Gabby has tears in her eyes before she nods her head. "Yes. Yes" she says nodding furiously
I smile as I place the ring on her finger before pulling her in for a kiss we hear clapping in the background. Gabby and I look up to see everyone on the porch watching. A smile graces Gabby's face as I wrap my arm around her. Glad to finally be with the women I love.
