Matt stooped at the SUV that was tetering on it's side the driver pinned to the cement the car rested on." Can you here me sir?" Matt shouts kneeling down in front of the shattered windshield. "Sir can you hear me?"
"Help. Help me?" A frantic women's voice called from the other car. Matt lifted himself over the mangled hood to the driver door of other car." Help me?" The women cries out making eye contact with Matt.
"Where does it hurt miss?" Matt tries pulling the door open.
"Ambo is 5 minutes out."Severide meets Matt as he put his phone back in his pocket." What do we have Casey?"
"Man pinned in other vehicle, unresponsive pinned to the ground." Matt nods his head to other car." I got her get the other car."
"Got it." Severide pulls himself up on top of the flipped truck kicking the passenger window out allowing access as he slides down in to the vehicle." Sir I'm here to help." He tells the man who is starting to come to.
"I, I where am I?" The man slurs his words." My chest ah." He clutches himself in pain.
"Can you tell me your name sir." Severide asks as he watches Casey run to the back of the other vehicle and reappear with a crow bar." Casey I need that here." He calls seeing the man next to him pass out." I think this man is having a heart attack."
"Miss I'll be right back." He stops at her window.
"No no don't leave me." She cries out.
"I'll be right back." Matt spoke calmly to her instantly calming her." I promise." He says before rushing off to Severide." Here." Matt climbs up on the vehicle passing the crow bar thru the window.
"Wait there." Severide takes the crow bar and tries prying the steering wheel away from the man's abdomen. After a few tries he frees the obstruction just as a familiar fire truck pulls up to the scene. Truck 66, as Lt. Welch jumps out of the passenger seat.
"Well isn't it Matt Casey." He says smug." What are you doing here?"
"Don't worry about me." Matt shouts." Get that women out."
"Always so cocky." He smirks as he and his men free the women, and Casey and Severide pull the man out." We got it from here." Welch snaps at both men who just brought the man to an awaiting ambulance.
"Your welcome." Casey snaps at Welch before turning to walk away." Oh by the way that man is probably gonna live because of us." Matt stopped facing Welch again.
Welch stood his ground moving a few steps closer to Matt." Well aren't you lieutenant of the year." He smirks cocky." Hey how's that fine candidate you took away from me?"
"Watch it." Matt points at him
"You still tappin that?" Welch asks with pure venom in his voice." I heard she ended up on 81 under your command, wouldn't headquarters love to know about that."
"You don't know anything." Matt chuckles before turning his back to walk away.
"I could see why you kept her near you though she was some piece of ass." He chuckled.
Matt stopped dead in his tracks listening to Welch's banter.
"Give her a kiss for me." Welch says now causing Matt to now turn around with Severide hot on his heels lunging forward swinging his fist connecting to Welch's eye before Severide could pull Matt back. He stood there smirking holding his eye." Lucky shot." Welch chuckles before lunging forward hitting Matt's mouth with his fist now as he was still being restrained by Severide unable to block the punch.
"You can't even fight fair." Severide shouts letting go of Matt's arms.
Matt spit the blood pooling in his mouth at Welch's feet now." Your not even worth it." He says calmly before turning to walk away ignoring any more of Welch's banter." Shit we're late." Matt looks at his watch bringing himself back to reality." Let's get out of here."
"Why is there always drama in our lives on important days?" Severide chuckles as they get in his car." But god I love what we do."
"Just get me to the church." Matt rolls his eyes before glancing back at Welch still standing there." But it sure felt good, that guy had it coming." Matt smirks as Severide peels out down the street.
Shay paced the floor at the back of the church as Casey and Severide run thru the doors fixing their suits." Where have you two been." She huffs quietly." And what happened to you?" Shay looks at Mattt's fat lip.
"Long story." He smirks." Is Gabby pissed?" Matt asks worried.
"No." Shay pins the flower to his jacket." I told her the priest was running late." She smirks." I didn't want to upset her today, unless I thought it was necessary, now go before she starts panicking on her own. "
"Thanks." Matt smiles.
"Let's get you hitched...again." Severide claps his shoulder.
"Oh Casey." Shay gets his attention back to her." She looks absolutely radiant."
Matt just smiles with a quick nod unable to find the words knowing how beautiful she always is before rushing off towards the alter. Shay moved to a door in the back of the church slipping thru the door finding a very calm Gabby sitting patiently waiting." It's time." Shay announces .
"Really." Gabby says excited jumping up." Did I just hear you talking to Matt out there?"
"Yeah he just came to let me know they were ready." Shay tells her as she fluffs her dress." You ready?" She hands off the bouquet.
"Silly question." Gabby chuckles as she opens the door finding her parents waiting for her and Laura holding Brianna. Gabby fought back the tears watching their faces look over her." Please don't, your gonna make me cry." She hugs her mother who is not holding back her tears." Mom this is not my first wedding."
"I know." She wipes her tears away." But you just look..."
"Stunning." Gabby's father finished the sentence." I know you and Matt are already married but I want you to know you will always have our blessing."
"Matt is like a son to us." Gabby's mother jumped in again.
"Thank you." Gabby wiped her own tears now before hugging both her parents as the church organ started to play.
Laura started down the aisle first holding Brianna in her arms and Antonio by her side. Matt gave a small nod with tear filled eyes seeing his daughter in her pretty pink dress. Laura walked up to the Alter as Matt stepped down the two steps kissing a gigglin Brianna when she saw her daddy." Hey pretty girl." He whispers before the move back to their spots and next Shay started her descend down the long aisle in her soft blue dress that fell to her shins identical to Laura's.
The music changed now as everyone stood from their seats turning their attention to the back of the room. Gabby appeared seconds later in the doorway with both her parents on either side of her. Matt's eye's met hers instantly causing tears to fall down both of their cheeks. Their smiles widened as Gabby's steps brought her closer and closer, as Matt's breath got caught in his chest as he overlooked Gabby's appearance.
The dress was strapless with a sweetheart neckline. Tiny pearls and crystals decorated the entire bodice of the dress that clung tightly to her body til it reached her hips. That is were the material flared out a soft chiffon skirt that moved with her legs as it fell floor length. Her hair was up in a soft bun with soft prices hanging around her face and neck where a simple veil was attached that flowed long landing on the ground behind her creating a small train .
Matt stepped down off the alter meeting Gabby and her parents. Her mother and father each gave her a kiss on the cheek before Gabby's mother turned kissing Matt's cheek. Gabby's father then shook Matt's hand before placing his daughters hand into his. Gabby and Matt's eyes never left each others as the walked up the steps to meet the priest who was awaiting.
Gabby and Matt now turned to face each other holding both hands together before Gabby reached up wiping Matt's tears from his cheek."Dearly beloved ." The priest started his sermon as Gabby's fingers travelled to Matt's fat lip before glancing back at Shay who just shrugs. Matt places his fingers under her chin bring back Gabby's eyes to his before kissing her finger tips bringing a smile back to her face." The couple you see before us have asked to share their love with all of you here today." The priest says now getting there attention ." They may be married but today they are becoming a single union before god. Today they will be vowing before god to love unconditionally, and they have asked to speak freely."
Matt cleared his throat meeting Gabby's eyes as his smile grew wider."Gabriela your love has made me a better man, and for that I thank you. You have given me more then I could have ever hoped or dreamed for. Our beautiful daughter for one." Matt chuckles glancing over to Brianna still in Laura's arms." So today I promise to love and honor you for as long as I live and prove to you everyday that I'm worthy of that love you show me."
Gabby wiped her tears looking down at their connected hands before taking a breath meeting Matt's waiting eyes." Matthew I have loved you for longer then I wanted to admit." Gabby smiles getting a few chuckles from the people sitting nearby as she glances out smiling quickly before moving back to his blue eyes." Somehow you managed to fall in love with me and since that day have made me feel like you are the lucky one here." Gabby's tears begin to fall again." The truth is we are both lucky and we will always be stronger together then we would ever be apart you are truly my better half, so today I promise." Gabby shakes his hand letting out a small chuckle ." To love you everyday and prove to you that I'm worthy of your love."
"So by the power vested in me before god." The priest raises his hands." You may kiss your bride again."
Matt placed both his hands on Gabby's cheeks as they smiled before he slowly brought his lips to hers. The kiss was soft meaningful yet filled their bodies with warmth as the room errupted into claps and cheers as everyone stood." I love you." Matt whispered inches from Gabby's lips.
"I love you." Gabby smiled back before meeting his lips briefly for another kiss.
"I now introduce Matthew and Gabriela Casey." The priest announces as Matt and Gabby turn to face their friends and family as she wraps her arms around his waist resting her cheek on his chest and he snakes his arm around her waist resting his hand on her hip as they stand smiling, happy and in love.
