*The next shift goes as in the show, Julie dies. But Matt and Sylvie are together*
…
*Two hours after Julie is gone and Scott shows up.*
Matt is consoling Sylvie when Scott bursts into the waiting room when he sees Sylvie and Matt.
"What happened, are they okay?" Scott asks, Sylvie stands up and sucks in a deep breath, then she says "I am so sorry Scott, but Julie didn't make it."
Scott collapses in the chair closest to him, he crys into his hands and asks "and the baby?"
Sylvie smiles at the thought of Ameilia, she knew that's the name Julie had picked for her. Sylvie answers by saying, "She's fine, she's perfect actually." smiling then adding "Do you want to see her?" Scott shakes his head, then swallows hard, saying "I can't do this without Julie, we were supposed to do this together." Sylvies shocked, her mouth gaped a little. She collects her thoughts as Matt puts his hand on her shoulder to try to comfort her. "W-what are you going to do then?" Sylvie asks, stuttering a little.
she does not want Amelia to be in the system.
"I would rather you take her but if you can't or won't, she'll have to be put up for adoption." Scott says standing up and putting his hands in his pockets.
Sylvie turns to Matt, who looks as shocked as she feels.
"Give me an hour and I'll let you know." Sylvie says shaking from all the news today. Matt puts comforting arm around her.
"Okay I'll stick around and wait to here your decision." Scott says and sylvie nods, she watches him leave and once hes gone she turns into Matt's arms and sobs.
"I don't know what to do Matt." Sylvie sobs into Matt's chest.
"Hunny, I know this is tough, but there's no one i know who is stronger than you, and who could handle this curve ball more than you. I will back you 100%, no matter what you decided." Matt explains, kissing Sylvie's hair.
"You would back me even if I decided to take Ameilia, Julie wanted to name her Ameila so that's the name I'd pick." Sylvie explains.
"Darling, I would back you no matter what you wanted or decided." Matt tells Sylvie, smiling slightly.
"Would it be weird, or too soon for you too…" Sylvie stops in the middle of her sentence, then adds "Never mind, it's too soon." Sylvie says mostly talking to herself.
Matt pushes Sylvie to arms length and says
"What is it, Sylvie, you know you can tell me anything or ask me anything, I'd do anything for you."
Sylvie sighs, then says "That's just it though Matt, i wouldn't want you to say yes to this without you truly wanting to." Matt rubs his hands through his hair, then he sighs saying "I promise you if it's what I think it is I want to one hundred and fifty percent do it."
Sylvie is shocked, he can't be talking about adopting a baby with her? Not already, can he?
"Would you honestly want to adopt Ameila with me? All ready? We are just starting out. Maybe I should just do this by myself.." Sylvie starts to ramble out loud.
Matt smiles a bit, then he lifts her chin to look at him as he says "Sylvie, darling you do not have to do this alone, is it fast? Yes, Is it a perfect situation? No, but can you do this yes and do i want to do this with you? A thousand times Yes!" Matt says and pulls Sylvie into a tender kiss.
"Are you sure?" Sylvie asks against his cheek.
Then she adds "This means diaper duty and everything."Sylvie smirks, making them both chuckle. "I want to do this with you, I'm all in Sylvie. Even the dirty diapers." Matt says smiling at Sylvie, she sighs and kisses his lips again, then she asks "How did i get so lucky to have?"
"Trust me i'm the lucky one, you are the bravest, kindest, bad ass woman i have ever meet, i love you Sylvie Brett and someday i plan on making you Mrs. Casey, I plan on having lots of babies with you if you let me." Matt says kissing Sylvie's hair.
"I would love all of that, but for this moment let's go adopt our girl!" Sylvie says smiling, and with that they go to find Natile, Scott and the social worker.
Surprisingly enough, the adoption can go quickly as Sylvie's a relative, so all Scott has to do is sign rights over to Sylvie and Matt. Matt and Sylvie decided to name Ameilia, Ameilia Julie Brett-Casey. They will be able to take Ameilia home in the next week or so, so they have a lot to get done, they both live with others at the moment so they will have to change that and figure out if they are ready to move in together yet. They have a lot to figure out, but they have all the time in the world, neither of them are going anywhere, anytime soon.
…
When Natile and Sylvie lead Matt to the NICU where Ameilia is, and Matt holds that little pink bundle for the first time, it's like his whole world shifts. It's hard to explain, but it's like his whole world is all about this little girl and her mommy.
The smile on Matt's face, Sylvie knows is completely and utterly 100% true love, and she has only seen that look on his face when he looks at one other person...Herself, Sylvie. Now everything clicks. She will fight to the end of the earth to see that look for the rest of her life. She wants this, she wants to be able to grow old with MAtt Casey and to have many, many children, grandchildren and maybe even a few great grand kids. All Sylvie knows for sure in that moment though is that it's the three of them, no matter what..
