''I love you.'' He kissed her on the temple and she handed Spencer back to him, sharing a kiss.

''Love you too, see you tomorrow.'' Gabby said and she swung her back around her shoulder, leaving then after waving and Matt looked out of the window as she got not he car.

He really hated how she was going back to work while there was nothing he could do for his family. He tried some more simpler constructing jobs, but without Kelly he barely managed. He just god tired and couldn't deliver the work that he wanted to for his customers.

But he hoped that that would get better, and he knew that if it was not going to improve, he had to go look at something else.

''Just me and you know, bud.'' Matt said as he walked back to the living room with Spencer and put him the playpen to pack up his stuff.

He had just had breakfast Gabby and he had to pack up his stuff to go to the hospital today for some check-ups and physical therapy. Even though he had tried to move it, he knew he had to go today so he was going to take Spencer with him.

Matt was packing his own bag as well as the bag for Spencer, to take care of him those hours that they were out.

''Just got to sit down for a minute.'' Matt said and Spencer laughed as Matt tickled him on his stomach. Soon he got up again to finish packing up the bags and they got on their way.

Even though he really wanted to drive himself, he knew that with the medication he was still on, it was not a good idea to he took the bus instead.

Arriving at the hospital he met with his doctor for some smaller check-ups and talked about the medication, going to physical therapy then and while he tried to work out – as much as his sore chest still allowed – Spencer stayed right asleep.

Even though Matt could feel that he was improving with the physical therapy, he tried not to get annoyed it took so long and even though that was not easy, he did try to stay positive and after running for a small bit today – exhausted after – he did feel achieved and soon he and Spencer where on their way out again.

''Let's go see how mommy is doing.'' Matt smiled and he walked to the firehouse. It was nice to be out and Spencer awake, grabbing at him with his little hands.

When he arrived at the driveway, he texted Gabby to make sure he was not interrupting anything or they were not out for a call and Gabby came walking outside.

''Hey, just thought we would drop by to see how you are getting on at work.'' He said and Gabby kissed him on his cheek, walking to the stroller then and picked up Spencer.

''Oh my little handsome boy.'' Gabby smiled, kissing him on his cheek.

''I have been replaced.'' Matt smiled.

''Was he okay being at physical therapy with you?'' Gabby asked then.

''Yeah, he slept right through.'' Matt smiled.

''Come on inside, I am sure they would love to see you and Spencer.'' Gabby smiled and he walked with the stroller as she carried Spencer.

Honestly, he had just wanted to see Gabby and he had not been so sure on meeting everybody in the firehouse since he did not want to interrupt them, and also that he no longer really felt at home here.

It had always been his home, but now it felt hard to be around there.

Walking into the common room though, even though he wasn't so sure at first, he was really glad to be here again. Even though he still had to get used to it no longer being his workplace, it was nice seeing all the people on shift and catching up with them.

Most of them were so glad to see Spencer as well and as he was growing up so quickly, a lot of them commented on that as well.

He walked to his old office for a second, knew it was no longer his office but he did not want to take his medication in front of everybody.

''You okay?''

Herrmann walked up behind him.

''Yeah, sorry I should have asked you, it is your office now, not mine.''

''It's fine.''

''Not really getting used to the idea that this is no longer my office.'' Matt admitted.

''That is not strange, and it must be hard.''

''Yeah, but you know, I have Gabby and Spencer and all of you, so it will be fine.'' Matt said then, getting up to walk back to the common room, not wanting to dwell on the past any longer.

He stayed just a bit longer but knew that it was time to go home. He was tired and his chest was getting sore, making it harder to breath, plus it had been a long day out for Spencer too now.

He called for a taxi and packed up his stuff, Gabby walked with him as he waited outside for the taxi to come get them.

''You going to be okay tonight?'' Gabby asked as he got ready to leave.

''We will be fine. Just going to take it easy tonight.'' Matt smiled and she nodded.

''Yeah, you look tired, take care.''

They shared another kiss and Matt got in the cab with Spencer.

At home, he sat down on the couch to bottle feed the little boy and even though he was tired, he was really happy he got to be his daddy, and that he had enough energy to look after his son now that Gabby was back at work. He watched TV a bit longer, taking Spencer to their bedroom then. He and Gabby and moved the lightweight crib back here again yesterday so it was a bit easier on him and he put Spencer down. Even though he was 3,5 months now, he did not sleep through the night yet but Matt hoped to get at least 6 hours of sleep before, so he could sleep a bit longer after.

He took his medication and laid down in bed then, Spencer asleep in the crib behind the bed and he switched the light off, falling asleep almost immediately.

It had been a good first day being with Spencer alone. It had not been easy, but it was so nice that he could take care of his son now and spend more time with him.

Suddenly, a bit later, he was awoken by his phone ringing on the nightstand and he woke up, Spencer awake as well when he switched on the light.

''Hello?'' He answered, sounding really sleepy.

''Did I wake you up?'' She asked worried.

''Yeah.'' He mumbled.

''I am really sorry.''

''Hey no that is fine. He just woke up too, laying looking at me.'' Matt smiled as he looked at the little boy looking at him through the bars. ''Better go give him a cuddle now.''

Gabby was so glad to hear that everything was going fine. Even though she was sure that it was going to be fine, she was a bit worried because he did get overwhelmed sometimes and even though he tried really hard, she knew it was taking a toll on his body today.

''Alright, I will let you go back to sleep then…glad to hear everything is fine.'' Gabby said then and they said goodnight, Matt falling asleep soon after Spencer was settled back in his crib again.

He woke up once more in the night as Spencer was crying and after bottle feeding him, he soon fell asleep.

Waking up in the morning, Gabby was sitting on the edge of the bed.

''Hey.'' Matt smiled, glad to see she was home.

''Hey.''

''How was your shift?'

''Ít was good. Nice to be back at home…and I am really glad everything went fine for you too.'' She smiled as she caressed the side of his face.

They shared a kiss.

It was different than how they had thought things would be, but it was nice that it had gone well the first time.
