Gabby drove home after shift she had done at another firehouse. It had been terrible because her partner on the ambulance was not nice and she wanted to become a candidate soon. It was hard to work on another ambulance 61 and hoped that she could finally talk with Matt, that they would be good again. But it was hard because she wanted to be a candidate but she also wanted to be good with him because she loved him so much. She parked the car and walked inside, to see that the house was clean but empty and she wanted to call for Matt, but she realized there was a chance that he was not wearing his hearing aids so that he would not hear her.
She walked out of the house and walked to the shed, figuring he was working there and she was glad when she saw he was and she walked in, grabbed his arm and startled Matt dropped the hammer he held in his hand and turned around and looked almost shocked at her.
''Can you just say hi next time?'' He said startled and she shrugged.
''I didn't know you were wearing your hearing aids.''
''That is true, yeah.'' She said and he hugged her, glad she was home. He took her hand and walked back inside the house with her and while she down by the kitchen table and he started to make an omelet while she set the table.
''How was the shift on the other ambulance?'' Matt asked they started to eat lunch together and she shrugged.
''It was not good, was it?'' Matt asked as she could see it in her face and he looked worried.
''No, it was terrible. My partner was not nice, she barely talked to be and the firehouse is quiet, I hardly know any names, the guys don't talk. It was the longest shift I have ever done while it was full of calls. I really want to become a candidate now.''
''Please, just understand me. I don't want you to be unhappy but I don't want you to be in danger because it is a dangerous job and I am scared something will happen to you. I know the dangers, you know the danger and I don't want you to be in danger because if something happens to you, I will never forgive myself.'' He said as he laid her hand on her cheek but she looked away. Sad.
''But Matt, I want to be a candidate. I….I am not going to happy like this.'' She said and he got up, looking at her, hurt because of what she had just said. Apparently, she could not be happy with just him.
Alison and Shay were sleeping on the couch after the long shift. They had started watching a movie but had both fallen asleep and Shay woke up, looking as it was early in the afternoon and she got up from the couch, looking as Alison was still asleep.
''hey, let's go to bed.'' She whispered in her girlfriends ear and Alison looked up with a smile and followed Shay to the bedroom. Shay was undressing and Alison laid down on the bed, looking at her, looking at her with an inviting expression and Shay smirked.
''Or are you tired?'' Alison said.
''Never.'' Shay laughed as she jumped in bed, diving under the blanket with Alison.
Cruz and Mouch walked to the vet with Pouch and the dog wasn't really cooperating as Pouch knew this building was bad, because it usually meant shots.
''Come on Pouch.'' Cruz sighed and Mouch looked at Cruz.
''it's just one more shot.'' Cruz continued and before he knew what Mouch was doing, Mouch lifted Pouch up and the dog licked him in his face, seemed to be alright with Mouch lifting him up and carrying
''Pouch is a lady, she listens just as well to you as all the other ladies in your life.'' Mouch teased him as they walked inside and could immediately see the vet with Pouch. The vet was a woman of end twenties, her brown hair in a messy bun on her head and she smiled as Joe and Randy entered and put Pouch on the table.
''Is she your dog?'' The vet asked as she got ready to give the Pouch the last shot the dog needed and she looked at Cruz.
''Yes..no..she is from all of us.''
''All of you?'' She asked questioning with a smile and he blushed.
''oh, uh, firehouse 51. She is our dog. She lives at the firehouse.'' Cruz explained and the Vet nodded impressed; ''SO you are a firefighter?''
''Yes ma'am.'' Cruz said as Pouch got the shot.
''And what is the dog's name? Smokey?''
''No…Pouch.'' Joe said and Pouch looked up at Joe as if she thought he was calling her.
''Well, Pouch is ready to go back to the firehouse.'' She said and Joe smiled back with a cheesy smile. He lifted Pouch of the table and dog walked to Mouch.
''Oh see, the ladies like me more.'' Mouch smirked at Joe and Cruz just rolled his eyes as they were ready to leave.
''Do you think I could maybe get your phone number…for the dog of course…just a….checkup.'' The vet said a little nervous and Cruz raised an eyebrow, not sure if that really was her intention, but he wrote it down anyway and gave it to her.
''I am Olivia by the way, Olivia Greene.'' The vet introduced herself with a nice smile, which brought dimples to her cheek and lines under her grey eyes and Joe started to smile as well.
''Joe Cruz.'' Cruz introduced himself while he smiled at Olivia.
Pouch barked, almost like she wanted to go back to the firehouse and Joe had to come with them right now. They walked out and Joe waved at the lady on last time.
''This woman was a lady…and she wanted my phone number!'' Cruz said teasing as they got in the car back and Mouch just rolled his eyes while Pouch let out a howl, to show she still deserved a treat after all of this.
Alison woke up as somebody kept pressing the doorbell of her apartment and she wondered who would be at the door. Quick she dressed herself and walked to the door. She looked whom was standing at the door but she didn't know the girl and confused she opened the door, wondering if she was selling something.
''Can I help you?'' Alison asked confused.
''Yeah, actually you can.'' The girl at the door said. ''By staying away from my girl.''
Shay woke up in the bedroom, confused as she heard Devon's voice and as she thought she had just imagined it, she rolled over, only to found Alison was missing b her side and she heard Devon's voice again, worried when she thought Devon was really here. Then she saw Devon really standing in the doorway, almost ready to attack Alison.
NOTE: Matt and Gabby still haven't solved their problems and Matt is really hurt by what she just said and Gabby isn't sure if she can be happy if she can't be candidate. What will that mean for their relationship? Mouch and Cruz also had a little storyline in this and will Cruz see the woman again? Shay saw a woman she is not so happy about again. Will Devon do anything bad or will she leave Shafferty alone? Jon, I hope this was enough Shafferty for you ;)
