Thank you, Beta Reader Swimming Clara

"We can't...", she mumbled as her eyes fell to close. He brushed a light kiss against her mouth and turned her whole body to face his.

Her eyes roamed his face and stopped at his lips, "... Tomorrow we turn this page on our life, but today we going to love each other one more time...".

Gabby nodded softly at him.

He cupped her face and sank his mouth into hers, deepening the kiss a low moan sounded in her throat.

Lifting her in his arms, she wrapped her arms and legs around him as he pressed her back against the door.

...

They kissed each other for long minutes, their tongues found each other's a couple of times as he kept pushing her back against the door...

He broke the kiss; his lips made a path across her jaw and down her neck... Licking and sucking her skin Gabby's moans were filling the room as her hands were holding him to her.

The feel of his lips descending up and down on her throat was making her crazy.

"Oh... f*...", she murmured as her eyes were tightly closed.

When she felt his hip brushing against hers, she shifted her tights around him slightly, bringing his body right where she wanted him.

"Ahhhhhh", she sighed as she clasped a hand behind his neck, tilting her head, even more, to give him better access.

All of a sudden, his phone started to ring in his back pocket. Although he didn't stop his movements, he moved his lips up and took her lips back on his. It seemed they were kissing for hours...

He left her lips for two seconds, "... This is good," he was panting as he was looking at her lips, "I missed it...", then kissed her hungrily again. Gabby opened her mouth wide to him as he was thrusting his tongue deep in her mouth... They were desperate for feeling each other

After a while, Gabby realized his phone wouldn't stop to ring. That's why she pulled away barely to tell him to pick it up, their chest up and down still trying to catch their breath.

"Not now...", he said softly as he cradled her face, "... later...", he brushed his lips with hers.

Thus, Gabby bent to lick across his lips, as a result, he opened his mouth, the tip of his tongue making his appearance again.

Their kisses were lazy as they were taking their time to taste each other's lips.

After a moment... "Put me down...", she requested as she smiled at him. He kissed her a few times before doing that.

Staring at into his eyes, with her hands remain on his shoulders, she pushed herself up on her feet to kiss him lightly on his lips, as his hands were circling her waist, his fingertips massing her sides.

"You're so beautiful..." he declared, his eyes roaming her face with adoration.

Gradually, Gabby trailed down his chest until she reached his belt, he waited eagerly for her next move.

Keeping his hands to himself wouldn't be easy when all he wanted it was touching her body... every inch of her, but it wasn't about him that night, it was all about her.

Their eyes were locked when she started to unbuckled his belt...

She jumped a little when felt her phone buzzing on her pants... They smiled at each other as he caressed her sides.

"Later...", she spoke.

"Later-", his phone cut him off.

That was strange, Gabby thought, both their phone was ringing with no stopping.

As Gabby was pulling out her phone, followed by Casey, there was a loud knock on the front door.

"I'll take care of it," Matt uttered as Gabby stepped to the side to give him space.

When he opened it, he saw Severide and Stella standing there, wearing worries expressions.

Gabby and Matt exchanged a look, then glanced at their friends.

"What's up, guys?" Matt asked as furrowing his eyebrows at them.

"Sorry for... interrupting you, but-", Stella was already feeling bad for them.

"Brett, she is at the hospital...", he said calm but worried.

Gabby flinched as she heard him.

"What happened?", Casey stepped forward.

"A guy went through the traffic light hitting her car in the process...", Severide explained.

"Oh my God", Gabby covered her mouth with her hand as turning her back to them.

"Gabby", Stella walked into the apartment as she saw Gabby having a breaking down, "... listen to me", she turned Gabby back to look her in the eyes "... the doctors are looking out for her, okay? Thankfully he wasn't on high speed..."

Matt and Severide were observing the girls.

Gabby nodded slowly, lifting her eyes in Matt's direction.

"I-", she cut in.

"You have to be there for her, I'll be fine...", she tried to reassure him.

Stella had her an arm wrapped around Gabby, trying to comfort her friends as much as she can.

Anyone in the room could say that Matt and Gabby were both feeling disturbed by the news and the way they were staring at each other meant the end night had taken a turn for the worse. This meant that there wouldn't be Matt and Gabby, but Matt and Brett from then on.

"We have to go, Matt... I'll drive you", Severide patted his shoulder.

"Okay," he ran the tip of his tongue on his lips as looking at Gabby. "Stella, take care of her, please".

"I will...", Stella would never abandon her friend.

Tears were welling in Gabby's eyes.

Casey felt his feet stuck in place, it wouldn't easy to leave her.

"Go... Matt, go...", Gabby insisted.

He closed his eyes as he dropped his head, a few seconds later lifting his head and opening his eyes, Gabby wasn't in his sight. He missed when Gabby headed down to the hall from his apartment.

"Come on, Matt", Severide pulled his arm.

Before grabbing his wallet and car keys off the centre table of the living room, he left with Severide on his tail.

...

After watching them leaving, Stella went in searching for Gabby...

She was sitting on the floor, her knees pulled to her chest and her arms wrapped around them.

"Hey, girl...", giving Gabby a comforting smile.

Gabby whipped her head around at the sound of Stella's voice. "Hey..." as she wiped her tears.

Taking a spot on the floor from across Gabby, Stella crouched down, "I- I saw Brett for one minute before she's checked in...", Stella swallowed hard and said, "She was conscious, what it's a good thing... However, they would take her to do a CT scan... Certainly, she's going to need some stitches and some medicine for pain... "

More tears rolled down Gabby's averted her gaze, looking anywhere but at her.

"Don't blame yourself for what happened to Brett, I know you're doing it...", Stella reached for Gabby's arm.

"Matt shouldn't have gone to the ceremony... If- if he had accepted that our relationship is over..., Brett would be fine-", Stella cut in.

"Stopping trying to torture yourself... that guy who was distracted on his phone, he is the one to blame, not you or Matt... Are you listening to me?", Stella gave her a pointed looking.

Gabby nodded softly at her friend.

"Okay... what do you want to do now? Staying here or go home?"

"Home... you think Severide would agree with you come with me?" Gabby asked shyly.

"Don't even think about it... I'm going with you... I'll just text him, I'll love to have a sleepover with you..."

"You are too good to me..."

"We are friends, we sisters...You had my back many times when Grant and I were together, you've have seen us at our worst and at our best... Anything you need I'm here, I'm here for you Gabby..." Stella declared as she outstretched her hand to Gabby.

Looking into her eyes Gabby grabbed Stella's hand smiling genuinely at her.

...

Casey and Severide were sitting outside of the examination room, the doctor wanted to take another look at Brett without an audience.

"... So, you and Dawson had time to sort out your feelings for each other?" Severide asked as he had his back against the wall, Matt was next to him, running a hand over his mouth.

Matt stayed quiet before responding to him, "We barely had an hour to forget the world out there...", he sounded frustrated, knowing he had missed another chance to win Gabby's heart, even though making love to her didn't mean they would reconcile. They were adding another burden to their mess relationship.

Severide bowed his head as pressed his lips together, "You are my friend, and I love you...", he lifted his head as he turned his body to face Matt, "... Yet you have been about to make a mistake. Look, man... if you love Gabby, first you have to end your relationship... Brett and Dawson don't deserve to be hurt".

"You're right...", Matt slipped his hands in his pockets as he hunched his shoulders, "... I am being a jerk acting this way with both of them...".

"Gabby doesn't need this kind of drama right now", Severide stated. "I bet she is beating herself up for being with you while Brett's car got hit...", Severide folded his arms.

Casey narrowed his eyes at him, "Gabby hasn't done anything wrong, I looked for her at the ceremony, I'm the one who insisted with her that we had to talk...".

"It's like you've forgotten about who we are talking here...", Severide shook his head, "... When Shay died, Gabby blamed herself for trading place with her... She had felt she didn't deserve to be happy when you two got engaged a couple of months after that tragedy...".

"I was there with her, Sev...", Casey expressed quite angry, "Don't act like I don't know my wif-", he stopped himself abruptly.

Severide's eyes widened at his slip of the tongue.

"It's pretty clear to me that you don't support my relationship with Brett or Gabby, but I'm going to ask you to step back and let me handle my own business".

They locked eyes, after a few seconds Severide raised his hands as a sign of surrender, "You won't see me saying a thing anymore".

"Mr. Casey...", a nurse was a few feet from them.

They glanced at her.

"Mr. Casey, the patient wants to see you...", she felt the tension between them.

"Thank you,", then Casey looked at Severide. "I'm staying here with her if you want to go home...", Matt trailed off.

"Alright, please say to her she is in our thoughts... I'll inform the others in the waiting room ...".

"Okay, thank you... before you go, Severide... I have to say, I really care about Gabby, maybe you don't believe in it... but I'll show you that I'm not going to her hurt again. You're right, she doesn't deserve someone who hurts her time to time..."

"What do you mean?" Severide knew there was something behind his words.

"You'll know...", Matt turned his back and entered into Brett's room.

...

Matt grabbed a chair in the corner of the room and placed it next to Brett's bed.

"How are you feeling?" he saw the stitches on her forehead, little cuts on her right arm caused by the smashing glass window of her car.

"Better now that you here...", Brett responded as she smiled at him.

...

Next morning

"...Gabby, I'm sorry for yesterday...," he cleared his throat.

"... I wish our lives were easier... When we think we are back on track something happens and we have to start again... Right? We reinvent ourselves to be better for who we love, expecting not hurting that person or anyone in the process... and I feel that I've hurt you in more ways than I can think... I feel that I've disappointed you many times... Repeatedly, I wonder how you've kept up with me for so long when I didn't deserve you... ", he sighed deeply.

"Sorry, for not supporting you when you've chosen to be a firefighter... being a foster mommy to Louie, helping Bria... I'll never forgive myself for not being right there with you since the first moment... You've taught me a lot, mainly giving new chances to who is invisible to this world... You are so important to me, always you'll be..."

He wiped the tears on the corner of his eyes, "... After Hallie's death, I had nothing to keep me going, then you came and showed me what love is... You've given me reasons to live... Thank you for loving me with everything you had... What we had I won't have with anyone... Although, after seeing you leaving Chicago a second time... I have made a choice and now I have to deal with the consequences... It's not right to put you in the middle of this... Don't think I'm giving up... it's just not the right time for us and I can't ask you to wait for me, it's not fair... You are surely thinking I'm being a coward for sending you this voice mail and not talking to you face to face, but... if I was before you I wouldn't be able to let you go...", he ran a hand through his hair.

"You will continue to be my miracle... Love you... Bye...".

He had sent it to her earlier in that morning, yet she waited to be alone to hear it, Stella had left after breakfast.

Gabby sobbed as she was listening to his voice mail for the third time. His last words made her remember their date at the party at her cousin's house... "because it's worth doing right...Right?" he said.

She didn't want to give herself hope... it's time to move on, "..because it's worth doing right...Right?"

Gabby closed her eyes briefly, "Your Casey is out there", she murmured wryly as opening her eyes looking through her bedroom's window.

"...because it's worth doing right...Right?"
