"Hey, what did happen to you? The way you talked to Otis wasn't very nice..." Hermmann stated as he closed the door behind him. Matt's head was down while he was sitting at his table in the office.
"I'm not in a good day, Herrmann" he answered as he was writing down something.
"Okay, I understand that, but he was trying his best there..." Herrmann was referring their last call, where Otis went back in the fire building because he thought he had seen someone through the window, however there wasn't anyone there. Then Matt called his attention for that, he had asked his men to walked out the building and against Matt's orders Otis walked in while Matt was helping a victim. Before everyone of 51, Matt yelled to Otis and gave him a ultimatum, he wouldn't give a second chance to him if it happened again. Otis didn't say anything, he just get together his stuff and got in the truck, all the ride was made in silence.
Matt shifted in the chair and faced Herrmann. "I... I had three arguments with Gabby in less of 24 hours..."
"Go on..." Herrmann encouraged him.
"Gabby thinks that Clarice, my client... She thinks..." Matt was struggling to say it.
"Clarice is interested on you..." Herrmann completed. Matt blushed, everyone noticed that, he asked himself.
"Yeah... and she even asked if I had sex with Clarice because I was kind of... avoiding sex with her... Look, I was trying to help her, that doctor recommend less sex because Gabby complained about cramps... the problem was she wasn't expecting have no sex, that was our second argument..."
"Matt, women know women... and everyone of 51 noticed your client has a thing for you..." Herrmann said the obvious.
"I'm not blind, Herrmann... however I'm not making of this a big deal... I love Gabby, just her, she owns me... and we have a baby coming, we need the money from this construction job..." Matt said explaining his point of view.
"I have no doubt that you love Gabby... Although don't get me wrong another woman between you two is not a good thing... and money... oh it's terrible..."
"I get what you want to say... and you are right my family is my priority, they come before everything... I don't like when I can't kiss, hug or cuddle with Gabby... and that what happened last night and as a result I threw my frustration on Otis..."
"You have time, you can talk to him later..." Matt nodded. "And what was the third argument?" Herrmann asked as he sat on Matt's bed.
"I disagree with her about a trip to Wiscosin without me, she would go with her yoga class and would take Anna. She is advanced in her pregnancy, she needs to be more carefully and when I told her it she understood everything wrong. That I called her irresponsible..."
"I'll be worried too... maybe it was just a problem of communication..."
"Definitely was... I'll talk to Chief Boden and try to change my shift to go with her and Anna, of course, if she accepts it."
"It'd be a good alternative..." Herrmann said supporting his decision.
"Thanks... if there is one thing that I can't negotiate the safety of my family, I know Gabby loves Anna, but this baby means so much for her, it's her miracle like she likes to say. It's my mission that our little bundle of joy be on her arms when the time comes..." Matt had tears rolling down.
"Wow... this baby has very luck for having you as her father" Herrmann got up and pulled Matt for a hug.
"Thank you Herrmann... thank you..."
During the day Matt called Gabby several times, though she didn't answer any one of them. After he and Anna left, she tried to organize the stuff of the baby, for now she would stay on Gabby and Matt's bedroom, they were still discussing to buy a new house soon. She get pretty tired and slept in the rest of the morning. Christie was going to bring Anna to home, as she was doing in the last terrible memories of her car accident in the past, pregnant, almost in her due time to delivery, made Gabby avoid to drive in the two last months. Later at the afternoon she received some flowers and a box. There was a card with Matt's name. She was still angry with him, so she didn't read the card, just put the flowers on the water and the box she kept it in one of her drawer.
Matt called Christie that day and asked her a favor, a favor she did before she walked out his house.
"Gabby... there is someone that want to talk to you..." Christie said giving her the telephone.
"Christie, no..." she knew that was Matt.
"Just listen to him for one minute, please..." Christie insisted.
"Okay... one minute..." and Christie left her alone and joined Anna and Violet at the kitchen.
"Hey..." he greeted her.
"Hey..." she said no as enthusiastic as him.
"I supposed you received my flowers and the box... I want you to apologize me... I never intended to hurt you..."
"Matt, please..."
"Gabby, I love you... there is no one else... you and the girls are everything to me... so I talked to Clarice..." Gabby cut him off.
"Look, I don't hear anything about this woman..." she run her fingers on her hair as she sat on the couch.
"I quit the job, I quit..." he told her quickly.
"You what?" she was in shock.
"I called her and said that I couldn't continue the renovation in her house... I asked a friend to assume it. He was needing it more than me, the money was good but not worth for me..."
"And she accepted your decision?"
"At the beginning no, but she didn't have a choice..."
"Wow Matt..." she didn't know what to say.
"Now I need to know about my delivery... I imagine that you didn't open the box..." he smiled.
"No, I was... I'm very upset with this whole situation..." she sighed.
"Please open it in the morning before I arrive at home at least... I have some plans for us..."
"Plans? What are you talking about?" she was curious.
"Open it and you will get an idea and make sure to do that alone..."
"You are scaring me, baby..." she noticed what she did.
"Baby, I love when you call me baby, baby..." she smiled this time.
"Our other baby, gave me a break today... she let me took a good nap..." Gabby caressed her belly.
"She is a daddy girl, she is obvious listening to me when I ask her to not kick your ribs... when you are asleep we have our best conversation..." Gabby laughed of him.
"I bet you are right..." the rings rang at the firehouse.
"I have to go... please say Anna I love her and I love you Gabby and our little bundle..."
"I love you, Matt and stay safe, baby..." Later the night, Gabby was on the bed and with the box on her hands, slowly she opened it... she didn't believed in what she was seeing... she laughed so hard and at the same time got really excited... she couldn't wait to see Matt at the morning...
