"Oh my god your bleeding." Shay shouts.
"Go get Matt please." Gabby speaks with sheer panic in her voice." Please be ok, please be ok." She says out loud as tears begin to fall. She slowly turns her body around knocking one of the boxes to the floor with her hand to give herself a spot to sit.
Shay runs through the front door screaming." Casey, Casey." With sheer terror in her voice as both men shot up from the couch running into the foyer meeting her there.
"What is it, where's Gabby?" Matt says with wide eyes already moving past Shay handing his beer off to Severide.
"Baby, she's bleeding." She stuttered out causing Casey to pick up his pace running out the door.
Gabby watched Matt run out the front door toward her their eyes locking instantly before his drop down to her blood stain pants, as his face turns to a pale white color as complete fear courses thru his body." Call an ambulance." He shouts back to Shay and Severide directly behind him as he reaches the car now." Baby are you in pain?"
"No." She cries out still emotional." Just get me to the emergency room."
"Casey how far is the nearest hospital?" Shay asks hanging up her phone before dialing." Dawson can you move?" She looks passed Matt getting a nod from Gabby.
"Lincoln memorial, it's about ten minutes." He says glancing back
"Just drive her, don't wait for the ambulance, they can help herbetter there." Shay tells him.
"Give me your keys Casey." Severide yells." I'll bring it around ."
"Shay Matt, I fell earlier this morning." Gabby whispered ashamed ." I hit my stomach on the steps back at the apartment."
"You're just saying something now." Matt snapped but it was out of pure worry." Why did you not say anything?"
Shay moves in closer as her paramedic instincts kicked in." Not now Casey." She tells him tapping his shoulder." Gabby where did you hit?" Shay kneels down as Matt out of her way." I'm gonna lift your shirt."
"Yeah." Gabby gives permission." Right here." She points to spot after Shay lifted her shirt.
"Alright you have some bruising here." Shay tells as she gently touches her stomach feeling around." Have you felt the baby at all?"
"I should have waited for you to leave together." Matt says turning his head looking away diverting his eyes from her bruising.
"I'm scared, I have not felt anything all day, now that I think of it?" Gabby cried harder as Severide pulled up with Matt's truck. The quickly helped Gabby in before Matt jumped in the drivers seat speeding off, leaving Shay and Severide standing there looking at each other in shock.
Six hours later Matt and Gabby walked thru the front door of their house, his arm around her shoulder, and hers wrapped around his torso." Why don't you go lay down in bed." Matt whispers kissing the top of her head." Shay said she put sheets on the new mattress."
"I would prefer being on the couch right now." Gabby says wiping her tears." I don't want to lay down."
"Ok." Matt says walking her in the family room sitting her down." I think the blankets are in your car." He says starting to walk away.
"Matt." Gabby whispered causing him to look back." I'm sorry."
Matt walked over to the back of the couch." It's ok." He says with a quick smile brushing her hair back before leaning over the back of the whispering ." I love you." Before kissing her cheek." I'll be right back in." He says wiping her tear before leaving the room.
A few minutes later Matt comes back with a box and a fleece blanket laying it over Gabby." Are you hungry babe?" He asks as he tucks the blanket under her wrapping her in." Or thirsty?"
"What's in the box?" She asks pointing .
"It's the cable wires I thought I would hook up the tv for you." Matt says walking over over to the box picking it up walking to the tv that is already mounted above the fireplace." It's Saturday night maybe there is a good movie on." He says looking back smiling before pulling out cables from the box.
"Matt I don't need tv right now." She tells him getting no response." Matt over here." Gabby says waving her hand to get his attention.
"You don't." He says looking back before getting up walking over to her." Do you want me to go get you some ice cream, I can do that?"
"Babe can you please sit down?" Gabby asks moving her legs patting for him to sit next to her." Please." She says again seeing him hesitate." I'm really sorry."
"Gabby I'm not mad." Matt says finally sitting down next to her putting his arm around her shoulder."You really scared me today."
"I know Matt, I did plan on telling you when I got here, I didn't want to tell your voicemail." She tells him as she plays with his wedding band." I just got tracked."
"Really Gabby." Matt snaps." That's what gets me annoyed, thinking it's ok to not tell me right away if your hurt."
"Your right I'm not denying that."
"Maybe you could have prevented this if you told me sooner." Matt's voice cracks." We could have gone sooner."
"Matt it was going to happen no matter how quickly you got me there." Gabby grabs his face to look at her." I was stupid, clumsy, and I'm so sorry I scared you, I scared myself too."
"I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you." Matt says placing his hand on her stomach now." Or our son."
"He's fine." She says placing her hand over his." You heard the doctor, I just ruptured a blood vessel in the placenta."
"I know." Matt says letting out a deep sigh." It 's just two times too many." He says referring to her first accident..
"I promise to be more careful, and listen to the doctors orders to take it easy for the next 48 hours to make sure I don't bleed again."
Matt turned his body to face Gabby placing his hand on her shoulder." Will you do me a favor?" He asks looking her in the eye." Will you go lay down in bed for my peace of mind."
"I will on one condition." She smiles placing her hand on his cheek." You come with me, but after you get me that ice cream you offered?" Gabby asks batting her eyelashes.
"Well how could I say no that beautiful face." He smiles leaning in to kiss her lips before bending down kissing her stomach." The usual?" He asks standing up getting a nod from Gabby before he heads out to the store.
They sat together eating their ice cream in silence." I will get the tv hooked up in the morning for you." Matt tells her taking her empty cup to throw in the garbage as she takes her last bite.
"Thanks that was so good."
"Come on let's get you two to bed." Matt says returning from the kitchen taking her hand walking upstairs shutting the lights off in each room as they go." I'm actually really tired." He says pulling his shirt off as he stands on his side of the bed watching Gabby change into her nightgown that Shay left unpacked for her earlier in the day.
"Good because I like your company." She teases snuggling into his chest as they climbed into bed now." I love you." She whispers kissing his cheek squeezing her arms tighter around him.
"Good night, I love you too." Matt says kissing her forehead placing his hand on her belly as they closed their eyes falling asleep together their first night in the new house.
