Chapter 21

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Today Matt and Gabby were celebrating six months of dating and they chose Molly's to celebrate "This round's on me," Matt said after arriving at Molly's, he held Gabby's hand.

"Where is Shay, Kelly?" Gabby asked.

"She went to the bathroom."

"Okay, I want to make a toast to Matt and Gabby. Congratulations to the couple!" said Hermann behind the counter. All toasted, it was when Shay: "And there is the cutest couple of Station 51."

"Is she already drunk?" Casey asked, and laughed after.

"I guess so… she drank three beers, may be more" Severide said and Shay patted his head. Everyone laughed.

After a few hours chatting with her friends, Shay pulled Gabby aside to have a private conversation with her. "Listen: I will try to get pregnant," Shay said. Gabby looked Shay and for a moment thought she was joking, because she already have drunk too much.

"What did you say?" Gabby asked laughing.

"I want to have a child, that's it. Severide will help me. Next week I go to the doctor to get the whole process."

"Shay, I don't know what to say, I ..." Gabby didn't know what to say or what to think.

"I know, Severide had a similar reaction. But Gabby, I feel I'm ready. And it would be very important to me if I had your support."

"Of course, you can count on me I was just surprised, but sure I'm on your side." Gabby gave Shay a quick. "You will be a great mother."

"Thank you, Gabby!"

"You, excuse me just a minute? I need to go to the bathroom real quick" Gabby said.

"All right." Gabby went into the bathroom, bent over the sink and hung her head. Tears started rolling down her face.

Flashback

"Brian, what are you doing here?" Gabby said after closing the door of her house. She was going to spend the last weeks of her pregnancy in Anthony's house. They insisted that wouldn't be good for her to be alone when the time the baby comes.

"I realized I made a mistake and want you to give me one more chance, Gabby." He was drunk.

"Chance? I gave you all the chances. Now get out of my way," she said after getting off the ladder.

"You could at least get me some money?"

"Oh, that's the real Brian. I don't know if you noticed, but I'm pregnant. Ah, for you the baby even exists, right?" Gabby opened the door of her car and Brian approached her and pointed a gun in the direction of her belly. "Brian, are you crazy?"

"Give me the key now Gabby and enter, if you want this baby still exists."

"You're drunk, you can't drive."

"You really want to argue with me Gabby?" he now said, pointing the gun at her head. Gabby gave the key and got into the car. She started crying nonstop.

Brian started driving on high speed. "You will kill us. Stop this car, Brian, please!" Gabby cried desperately.

"Shut up! Shut up!" he said, turning to her and started swearing at her without paying attention to the direction. That's when it happened. They hit on the post, Gabby was immediately unconscious. Brian, after a few seconds he regained consciousness and run away. Gabby woke up in the hospital and to try to save the baby's life an emergency cesarean section was done, but the baby survived only for a few hours.

End of flashback

"Shay, where is Gabby?" Matt asked when he saw her approaching the group.

"She went to the bathroom, but it's been a while."

"I'll see if she's okay" Casey said. When Casey approached the bathroom, Gabby was leaving.

"Hi, how are good?" Casey asked.

"Yes, I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Are you crying?"

"My parents called me and you know. I miss them, they cried, me too." Matt thought that weird, but didn't want to push Gabby.

"Do you want to leave?"

"Oh, yeah" Gabby said.

When he reached the car Gabby asked Matt to take her home.

"I was thinking, maybe you could sleep with me today. Anna will be at home, but she is already feeling comfortable with you. In fact I asked Anna what she thought of you sleeping there and she thinks it's great."

"Matt, I thought we were going to ask that together" she said angry. Again Matt thought that Gabby's reaction strange.

"I know, it's that one day she said she missed you and I thought it was a good time to ask."

"You thought? I got it," she said upset.

"Gabby, what's happening?"

"Matt, I don't want to discuss it now."

"Discuss it? Gabby, I'm just asking you to go home with me."

"And I'm asking you to take me home Matt, please!" Sad Matt just nodded and they got into the car.

Please, review!
