Hey guys! Sorry for barely being able to post. New job, new country and new life have me very busy, but I really hope you are still interesting in my writing and I am going to try to update more often!
Gabby left Matts arms and got out of bed, wanting to get to shift but do it without waking him up, but as soon as she slipped from between his arms, he woke up as well.
''Oh hey.'' She said, kissing him on his forehead.
''Morning,'' He grumbled softly and she caressed over his head.
''Are you feeling okay?''
''Yeah, just groggy.'He smiled then and slowly he got up from the bed, Gabby helping him up.
''If you don't want me to go to shi-''
''No, please. Just go. I will be fine.'' He smiled then as he walked to the kitchen with her, Gabby making sure he was taking all his medication.
''I know. Just love you. Just worried.'' She smiled, hugging him then.
''I know. I love you too.'' he said, caressing over her hair and kissing her on her forehead then.
As she was getting ready for the day, Matt just got dressed in lounge wear as he was going to be home for the day and curled up on the couch, already tired but it was better than being in the hospital and rolled up under a blanket, Gabby walking in ready for shift then.
''You sure you are going to be okay?'' She asked as he sat up to kiss her.
''Oh stop it, I am going to be good!'' He smiled then.
''I love you.'' She smiled then, kissing him again and walking out then. Matt laid down again, taking nap a bit longer but just happy to be home and excited to see her again after shift.
Kelly pressed the doorbell, the door still not opening and concerned he knocked on the door but the door opened three seconds later, Matt standing in the doorway, looking a little bit better than he did the last time Kelly saw him. He was still looking tired and pale but Kelly knew he was on the mend and that was all that mattered right now.
''Can't sprint to the door, calm down.'' Matt shook his head, acted to be very disappointed with his friend.
''Sorry, just wanted to make sure you wouldn't leave me here with this delicious lunch I brought you.'' Kelly smirked, happy to see his friend.
''Shouldn't you be on shift?'' Matt said a bit surprised as he let Kelly in.
''No, chief asshole decided I am suspended for this shift, probably because I got better looks.'' Kelly stated dryly as he walked after Matt to the kitchen and put down the take away bag.
''Hope you got some greasy good take away.'' Matt said as he looked as Kelly grabbed some plates.
''I went to the salad bar.''
''Oh dear-''
''For you.'' Kelly said, plating the salads.
''I am surprised you knew where to find it.'' Matt said, finding it funny that Kelly had gone to a healthy restaurant only for him.
''Shut up.'' Kelly mumbled as he put down the plate in front of Matt, grabbing some water for the both of them and sitting down then.
''So how are you really doing?'' Kelly said then, digging into the pile of quinoa and other stuff he had never had before and never expected to have.
''It's alright. Arrhythmias seem to be gone completely now. Medication is doing what it should and the doctor says all there is left is slowly building down the medication and building up my stamina''
''That sounds good. So when I can stop feeding you the diet of a bunny?''
''Hopefully soon. I mean, the doctor said I can slowly start eating what I want again. I just don't want to risk it.'' Matt said then.
''That is good.'' Kelly nodded, scoffing the food down, not even sure if he knew everything that was in there.
After lunch they sat down on the couch.
''Do you want to go for a walk later?'' Kelly asked then, wanted his friend to stay moving and go outside even if it was a short walk.
''Yeah, that sounds good.'' Matt said tired, but knew his friend was right and they watched part of a movie.
''I am alright, you don't need to stay, really.'' Matt said as he didn't want his friend to feel like he had to stay to keep an eye on him.
''I don't mind, really. I do mind Gabby killing me if I leave you alone tonight.''
''Knew this was her plan.'' Matt groaned. It was cute she was concerned about him, but he didn't want her to worry when she was on shift.
''It was an idea of the both of us.'' Kelly assured him.
''Well, fair enough then.'' Matt smirked.
Boden walked into the firehouse, greeted like a true champ by the others. With Jordan being so terrible to him again, it was great to see him here. After talking to all of them, he walked to the replacement chief.
''Where is Kelly Severide?'' Boden asked, pretending he didn't know.
''OhI dont want any disrespectful firefighters serving under me.''
''Hmm...Kelly Severide is disrespectful? Hmmm, wouldn't say so.'' Boden said and all of the firefighters looked as Boden was clearly intimidating the man. It was not helping chief Jordan that Boden was at least a full head taller then him and was not almost leaning over him.
''He was disrespectful to me.'' Jordan huffed.
''Kelly Severide made a video of a dying man in a building collapse and showed it to the woman. He took care of a boy while his mom, a detective, got shot. Kelly Severide is one of the most considerate and respectful men I know.'' Boden said calmly.
''not to -''
''Then maybe you are the problem.'' Boden said an for a second Jordan opened his mouth but closed it again then.
''Fine...fine. I will be happy when I am of here.'' Jordan said then, walking off to his office.
''I think we all will be.'' Herrmann shook his head, getting nods of approval by the others.
Gabby sat on the bench in the locker room. After the hectic call she had felt like changing her shirt but being in the locker room was still something that made her heart jump. She just wanted to get away from here cause every time she was here, she could just see Matt bleeding out on the floor again.
Slowly she took her phone from her pocket and tried to call him. Matt did not take off the phone then and she was worried about it.
Calling Kelly, he took of the phone then.
''Hey, is Matt okay? He didn't take off the phone.'' Gabby said concerned then.
''Oh, we went for a short walk in the afternoon. He is crashed on the couch. Moved him to bed but he is exhausted.'' Kelly smirked.
''I was worried.''
''Oh stop being that, he is going to be fine. He was cracking jokes today. I know it is rough what has happened. But it is all going to be okay now. Heard I am on again next shift so it will ready be okay. I am sure.''
''Yeah, me too.'' Gabby said with a smile then.
''Alright, I am going to sleep soon, don't worry, I am going to stay in case Matt needs me.''
''Sounds good, thanks so much.''
''Ofcourse.'' Kelly said and they hung up then, Gabby smiling as she walked to the common room.
''Why are you smiling from ear to ear?'' Herrmann smiled, glad to see her so happy. He still care so much about her and it was good to see her smiling.
''Matt is doing great, that just makes me happy.'' She smiled.
''That is great you have been through a lot after the shooting and seeing you smile, makes me so happy.''
''It is all going to be fine.'' Herrmann promised her then.
''I just know it will be.'' Gabby smiled then and for the first time she was absolutely sure about that.
