a/n: Thank you to everyone who left a review on the previous chapter and I usually don't update so quickly but I might have cheated at work and got carried away so I hope that you guys will enjoy this one.
Matt looked up at Christie again, her cheeks red from blushig but his blood was boiling inside of him. He smiled at the girls before getting up.
"Do you mind staying with a girls for a little bit?" He got up and looked at Gabby.
"Matt." Gabby warned him, knowing what was probably going through his head.
"What are you doing Matt?" Christie finally dared to ask.
"I'll be right back." He smiled at the girls and grabbed his coat before walking out of the door.
"I hope he won't do anything stupid." Christie whispered as she helped Gabby with the girls.
Matt drove through the streets, one destination in mind. He parked in front of the very familiar building and climbed the stairs two at a time, banging on the door once he arrived where he wanted to be. It didn't take long before the door opened and without warning, Matt's right hook connected with Kelly Severide's cheek, Shay witnessing the whole thing.
"Stay away from my sister." He warned him before he turned on his heels and left Kelly on the floor to nurse his jaw.
He made his way back to his druck and drove back home where Christie no longer was and Gabby was drawing in the living room with the girls. She looked his way as she heard the door open and then close. She stood and made her way to him where she could see he was still slightly angry.
"How angry will your sister be at you?" She knew all too well the look he had on his face because Antonio had been like that with her old boyfriends when she had been a teen.
"Come on Gabby, it's Kelly. You know how he is. Christie's just a challange for him, another notch under his belt."
"Maybe you should have talked to him instead of letting your fist do the talking." He blushed slightly as she caught on to what he had done but he wasn't ready to apologize for it.
"I was a bad brother before and I didn't see what was staring at me in the face so no way I'm going to do that again." He kissed her tenderly and she smiled at him. She loved how protective and loyal he was with his family but she just hoped that this latest issue wasn't going to come between them. Gabby stayed a little bit longer before leaving to go back home and be with her own kids as Matt spent a little bit more time with the girls before he needed to get them ready for bed and get everything else ready for school in the morning.
Matt was only due on shift the day after that and although he had tried to call his sister, she hadn't answered and he wasn't sure if she was mad at him or just busy but he was pretty sure it was his first option. He tried not to think about it, next shift coming quickly. Boden was first to get to him, even before the rest of the house could to see how he was doing and if he was ready but he knew that he'd have to face Severide at some point but he only hoped that it wouldn't be a subject of conversation for the whole house. He made his way to the common room in hopes of grabbing a quick coffee and came face to face with Kelly who was walking in the common room from the other side of the house.
"Damn Severide who's boyfriend punched your face in?" Matt sat down at the head of the table and discreetly eyed him to see what he would say to Capp.
"None of your business Capp." He simply said before walking through the common room without so much as a glance in Matt's direction to go change but they didn't have time to have anymore interrogations when the bell rang, calling them to a traffic accident.
On scene, they acted like the professionnels but if you looked closely, you could see some tension between the two lieutenants. Once it was all cleared out, everyone packed their stuff up and drove back to the firehouse, Matt hiding away in his office to write his accident report. He was only into a few lined when he was interrupted by a knock on his office door.
"Mind if I come in?" He turned at the sound of the voice.
"Shay, what's up?" She simply looked at him but didn't need to tell him what her subject of conversation was. "Look Shay, I can't talk to him."
"Come on Matt, he's already feeling bad as it is, just go talk to him."
"He should have told me something before."
"Just man up Casey." She left it at that and turned around and left him alone to his thoughts. He tried giving the report some more thought but he was interrupted again, this time by the one person that he was trying not to think of.
"I don't have time Severide." He huffed.
"That's tough Casey cuz this is getting out of hand." Matt reluctantly stood from his chair and followed Kelly outside as he sat on the bumper of Squad 3, his arms crossed over his chest. Matt chose to stand and looked anywhere but in Kelly's direction. "Talk to me or yell at me Casey, whichever one you want but get it out."
"Tell me the truth Kelly. What is she for you huh? Just another conquest you can brag about?" There it was. He was finally getting what was on his mind off his chest.
"Don't you think I haven't thought about what you would think if you found out? That my first thought was why not get on Casey's bad side and screw around with his sister and her teenage daughter? Come on man, you know me better than that." Their eyes finally met and for the first time, Matt could really see the black eye that he had given Kelly a few days ago.
"She just got out of a divorce Kelly, she's vulnerable." He sighed, his only thought was to protect his sister.
"I know but that's not how it happened. We just bumped into each other on a run and it started with coffee."
"You want me to believe that you guys bumped into each other on a run? You don't run anywhere near her place."
"I've been running in the same spot for years Casey, it just happened." He stood up with a sigh. "Look Matt. This isn't a sick joke and we're taking it slow. Violet didn't take well to it either but then again she didn't give me a black eye for it." He smirked.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I'm guessing that's why she's not picking up my calls."
"She was a bit stressed about that, not mad though."
"But I swear Kelly." Matt warned him.
"I know. If I hurt her you'll give me more than a black eye." He wasn't joking because he knew that Matt was serious. "But we're good right?"
"Yeah we're good." They shook hands and Kelly went back inside just as Matt felt some arms around his waist.
"I see you've made up." Gabby whispered at his side.
"Yeah but what are you doing here?" He turned around in his arms and smiled at her.
"I came here baring lunch." She raised a bag with a smile.
"Perfect, let's go in my office." We wrapped arn arm around her shoulder and led her inside. He was happy to have talked it out with Kelly and only hoped that it was a new, happy chapter for his sister.
a/n: Ok so I know it was supposed to be a family outing this chapter but I started writing and I felt the need to write about the fallout of the twin's revelation so please take a few minutes to review and tell me what you guys think of it. - Sarra
