It's labour day weekend and Matt and Sylvie have packed up Matt's truck and on their way to fowlerton.

It's been since the whole Kyle thing since Sylvie has been home and she wants Matt to meet her parents before the wedding.

Also Sylvie's brother Josh is home for the weekend, Josh is in the navy.

They finish getting their bags in the truck and get in. Matt can see something's bothering Sylvie with how she's fidgeting with her fingers.

"Hun what's wrong?" Asks Matt as they pull away from the curb.

"It's just I haven't been back since I lived with Kyle and knowing I might run into him or hope-" Sylvie pauses for a minute then adds "god I could even run into Harrison." She says putting her head in her hands.

"Babe, don't worry. I'll be by your side no matter what." Matt says taking her hand and kissing the back of it.

"I know and I love you for that. I just hate being the fowlerton screw up."

"Sylvie Brett you are not a screw up by any means. You are so bright and intelligent, loving, caring, compassionate and kind. You are my world and I won't let anything or anyone make you feel anything less than what you are and that's amazing. You Sylvie are amazing."

"Thank you Matt, that means the world to me." Sylvie says leaning over and kissing his check."

They drive and chat for the next few hours, they reach the outskirts of fowlerton,when Brett takes a deep breath in.

"You got this babe." Matt says reassuringly as he parts her bare knee. She's wearing mid thigh shorts and a navy blue V neck halter top that's a little snug in the abdomen from her being pregnant.

She's starting to show now at 17 weeks.

She's almost at her cut off for work and she hates that but she wants to do everything in her power to keep these babies healthy.

They finally pull up to the Brett's farm.

Matt and Sylvie climb out, Matt grabs their bags then grabs Sylvies hand .

Sylvie smiles up at Matt and says "this is it." "It's a beautiful place." He tells her as he softly kisses her hair.

They reach the front door and Josh opens it and pulls Sylvie into a bear hug. "Hey be careful there's two little beans in there." Sylvie says smiling and Josh pushes Sylvie at arms length away and looks at her.

"Your glowing sis." Josh says and Sylvie blushes.

Matt rests his hand on the small of her back making her remember he's there.

"Oh umm Josh, this is my fiancé captain Matt Casey." Sylvie says proudly. Josh and Matt shake hands.

"Nice to meet you I've heard a lot about you, and I mean a lot. Even before you two were a couple." Josh says teasing his little sister.

Sylvie playfully smacks Josh's arm and says "okay so I had feelings for you for a long time." She admits and they all chuckle.

When they head into the sitting room Lucy and Kevin Brett were both reading, Kevin was reading the newspaper and Lucy was reading a book.

They look up to see Sylvie and smile "sweetie you look absolutely beautiful." Lucy tells her daughter as she sees her bump.

"Thanks mom Sylvie says as she sits next to her mom on the sofa.

"Mom, dad this is my fiancé, Captain Matt Casey." Sylvie says just as proudly as she did when she introduced Matt to josh.

"It's very nice to meet you Mr, and Mrs Brett." Matt says politely and shakes Kevin's hand and Lucy pulls him into a hug.

"Oh please call me Lucy." Lucy says smiling softly at Matt.

"You can call me Kevin as well." Brett's dad says, clapping a hand on Matt's back.

"Thanks, you both have raised an amazing, wonderful beautiful Woman." Matt says smiling fondly at Sylvie.

"Thank you son, we think we have." Kevin replies.

Lucy can see the adoration on Matt's face for her daughter and lights up.

"So we have a surprise for you Sylvie." Lucy says smiling.

Sylvie looks to Matt who smiles fondly.

"Are you in on this?" Sylvie asks.

"Yes, I've been talking to your mom for a few weeks about this now." Matt confesses.

"Okay so what's the surprise?" Sylvie asks nervously.

"We are throwing a BBQ tomorrow for you guys to Celebrate you guys and the baby's." Lucy tells her and Matt can feel her tense by his side.

"Oh.." Sylvie says looking at Matt and he sees her hesitation, Matt speaks up and says "your parents wanted our firehouse family to come to so they are, chief and Donna, mouch and Trudy, Herman and Cindy, Cruz and Chole, Kidd and severide and foster and her flame of the week Are all coming " Matt says and they both chuckle and Sylvie says "awe thanks that means a lot to me guys." Matt told sylvies parents that it would be easier for her to confront the people of fowlerton with her Chicago family by her side and they agreed.

"Okay so when is this party happening?" Sylvie asks as she notes the time and it's getting late, the sun is soon setting.

"Tomorrow, so we need to get some rest so we can get up early and set up." Lucy says smiling.

"Okay, but first please tell me you have mint chocolate chip ice cream." Sylvie asks as Matt chuckles he knows her cravings have been for that said ice cream for a while now.

"No sweetie, why?" Her mom asks questioningly.

"Because it's what I've been craving, and that craving is very bad right now." Sylvie answers her mom.

"I'll run to the store to get you some babe." Matt tells her with a swift kiss on the check.

"I'll go with you for the drive." Sylvie says then adds "is there anything we are going to need for this party tomorrow?"

Lucy nods and goes to give Sylvie a list out of her pocket and her credit card off of the stand.

"Here we need all of this for the party and get whatever you to want it's on us." Her mom says sweetly.

"Thanks mom." Sylvie says and hugs her mom tightly.

Matt and Sylvie head to his truck and head towards the grocery store in town.

"Thank you for making sure our firehouse family would be at this party tomorrow to." Sylvie says, taking Matt's hand.

"No problem, i'll always have your back. I know it's hard for you to be here so I wanted to make you as comfortable and happy as possible." Matt says, putting his hand on her knee.

"Thank you, i love you so much matt."

"I love you very much to sylvie." Mat says and kisses Sylvie deeply, while they are at a red light.

They chat tell they get to the grocery store, once there sylvie tells matt "It's 7:30 already and everything in fowlerton at 8pm." matt raised an eyebrow at her and asks "really?" Sylvie mods then suggests "we should spilt the list in half so we can be quicker." Matt nods slightly and says "if your sure, I don't want you to be uncomfortable." "I'll be fine, if I run into someone I'll text you." She replies to his concern.

"Okay." Matt says and kisses her, Sylvie pulls away from the kiss and rips the grocery list exactly in half. She gives Matt the produce half and she takes the box aisle half.

They walk hand in hand in the store, Matt gives her hand a reassuring squeeze and heads to the produce aisle with a cart.

Matt's got everything they need for the party with in ten minutes, he's grabbing greasy strawberries and chocolate dip for him and Sylvie that night, when he hears a too familiar voice from behind him. The last time he heard that voice it was asking his soon to be wife to marry the voice.

"Casey?" Chaplin Kyle Sheffield asks surprised.

Marts hands tighten on the strawberries he's putting in the cart.

"Hi Chaplin." Matt says and nods in his direction.

"Hi, what brings you to fowlerton?" Asks Kyle then adds "I heard Sylvie is in town are you with her?"

With a frown.

Matt smiles at the mention of his fiancés name.

He nods to the Chaplin and says "yea, we are visiting her parents for the weekend." Matt says not giving any hints about the party cause he doesn't want the Chaplin there.

"Oh, umm are you two together?" The Chaplin asks.

"Yes actually we are engaged, the weddings a month and half away." Matt says smiling. Before Kyle can reply, they both hear Sylvie but Sylvie doesn't realize kyles standing in front of Matt, as she is going over her list.

"Babe, I couldn't find any mint chocolate chip ice cream, so me and these little babies decided to opt for homemade chocolate brownies when we get home, I got everything we need besides icing." Sylive says and then she sees Kyle and gulps.

"Hi." Sylvie says to the Chaplin as she reaches Matt's side and he brings her in close to his side.

"Hi, your glowing Sylvie, I didn't know you were pregnant." Kyle says looking hurt and wounded.

"Yea 4 months along. 17 weeks to be exact" she says happily. And she feels Matt bursting with pride and happiness beside her.

"Congratulations to you both." Kyle says a little sadly.

"How are you Kyle?" Sylvie asks tubing her baby bump absentmindedly.

"Good actually I'm glad I ran into you, I wanted to tell you hope and I are engaged." Kyle says smiling and sylive gasps slightl, only enough for Matt to hear and he pulls her closer, his hand in her belly now to.

"I.i didn't know." Sylvie says shocked.

"Yea we go together a little after you left." Kyle says smiling.

Matt's a little annoyed at how it seems like the chaplins trying to hurt Sylvie. He knows her past with hope.

"That's..that's good. Happy for you." Sylvie says fumbling over her words.

"Thank you. " Kyle says and adds "happy for you guys too."

They exchange smiles and Sylvie looks at Matt and says "I'm going to get the icing so we can head out ok?" She asks

"Sure, I'll meet you in the aisle in a sec." Matt says then adds "what aisle will you be in?"

"5" Sylvie replies and he nods. Sylvie gives him a quick chaste kiss on the lips then says goodbye to Kyle and heads towards the icing aisle.

Once she's out of earshot Matt turns towards Kyle and says "are you really with hope?"

Kyle looks confused at the question and asks "of course, he would I lie?"

"To hurt Sylvie." Matt replies shortly and a little tense.

"I wouldn't do that." Kyle says and pauses for a beat then adds "it's not like she didn't move on as soon as she left though, I guess the rumours are true after all." Matt gets wild at this point, he glares at Kyle and asks "what rumours?" But before Kyle can answe Matt's phone dings, he pulls it out of his pocket and sees its Sylvie.

HARRISON. AISLE 5. NEED YOU NOW.

Matt replies with

Be right there.

Matt glares at Kyle and says "Sylvie needs me." And heads towards aisle 5 and he hears Kyle scoff but he ignores it. Sylvie needs him.

Harrison is standing in front of Sylvie smirking at her.

"So, you got your self knocked up? what a mistake." Matt hears Harrison say and he's by Sylvie side in an instant.

"Babe you okay?" Matt asks Sylvie as he feels her vibrating by his side.

"No," she says and then turns towards Harrison and tells him "nobody calls my babies a mistake." Sylvies clenching her teeth and if looks could kill Harrison definitely be dead right now. Matt feels very proud in this moment.

Harrison rolls his eyes then addresses Matt. "Who are you?" Harrison asks gruffly.

Matt glares at Harrison and tightens his grip around Sylvie and says

"Sylvies fiancé and the babies father." Proudly.

"Your just going to be another failed relationship on her part she's to much of a tramp to hold onto anyone." Harrison says angering.

Now Matt's pissed.

Sylvies in tears and Matt won't stand for that.

"Don't you dare call my fiancé a tramp. Sylvie Brett is the most amazing woman I have ever met, nobody and I mean nobody will treat her or speak to her the way you do." Matt says glaring daggers at Harrison with clenched fists and teeth.

Harrison scoffs just then they hear an announcement for the store closing in 5 minutes.

Matt turns to Sylvie and says sweetly "let's go lay for our stuff and get out of here." Sylvie returns his smile and nods. They walk past Harrison but before they do Matt says low to Harrison and he walks past him "stay away from my family." He growls and Harrison nods and scoffs.

They pay for their stuff and head to the truck.

Matt puts the stuff in the bed of the truck as Sylvie sits in the cab, once Matt's finished he joins her. Sylvies sobbing by this point and Matt pulls her close.

"Baby, don't let them get to you, your perfect and amazing they don't deserve you." Matt says reassuringly in her hair.

"Thanks Matt." Sylvie says sniffling.

"I love you Sylvie Brett you're my happiness and my world you and these babies."

Matt says kissing her temple.

"Thank you your my happiness and my world to." Sylvie replies.

After a few minutes Matt lets Sylvie go and wipes her tears. Then he pulls out of the parking lot.

He doesn't know what the rest of the weekend holds but he knows one thing no one, and he means no one will hurt his family.
