Matt walked down the hall to where Gabby was. The walk felt like years. He didn't know weather to cry or to scream. He was broken but so angry at the same time. How could this be true. He was angry at himself for having wasted so much time with Hallie when it could have been spent with Gabby.

It took him a good ten minutes before he managed to turn the handle and walk through the door. Looking at her laying there on all those machines broke him even more. Everything the doctor told him in the waiting room still replaying through his head.

"I'm sorry Matt but your baby didn't make it. Your wife is in a coma and is on machines to help her breathe. We are going to try in a few days to take her off the machines. She suffered a head injury and we don't know the full extent of that injury until she wakes up. If she wakes up".

Matt had no words to speak after that. Just rage and sadness. He was angry with Brett for being so careless. He was angry at Kelly for not letting him see Gabby at the scene. He was angry at himself for all the chances he never took with her. The nights they spent on shift just talking about their whole lives while everyone else was asleep were some of his best nights. He never felt so comfortable with someone before.

Matt shut the door behind him and walked over to the chair by Gabby's bed and sat down. He took her hand in his as tears started to fall from his eyes.

"Gabby baby. I need you please don't leave me. Please wake up. I can't do this life without you baby please". He started crying harder resting his head on her hand.

He felt a hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Kelly behind him.

"What are you doing here Kelly"? He asked.

"They called to tell us about Brett and I asked about Gabby and thought you could just use someone to be here with you. Matt you can't go through this alone so don't shut me out ok man. We are all dealing with Brett's death and with Gabby being in a coma. None of us can do this alone. Gabby was apart of our family too". He said.

"Thanks man". He said getting up to hug Kelly.

Kelly didn't know what to say or what to do for Matt. He just knew he wasn't about to let him go through this alone. He knew how much he loved Gabby and he knew if something happened to her he would lose himself and he wasn't going to let that happened.

"I'm glad she died". Matt said anger now showing in his voice.

"Matt". Kelly started to say before he was cut off.

"No Kelly I mean it. She is the reason my baby is dead and my wife might not wake up. I'm glad she died because if she would have survived I would have made her life hell". He said before sitting back down next to Gabby.

"I understand". Was all Kelly could say because he too was pissed about what Brett did. Gabby was the one person he trusted when he needed help. Gabby was like his sister and no one at firehouse 51 even cared for Brett.

There was a knock on the door as the nurse walked in to check on gabby.

"I'm sorry guys but visiting hours are over. You can come back tomorrow and see her. We will call you if there is any change". The nurse said shooting the boys a nice smile.

"Thank you". Matt said shaking her hand and walking out the door.

"Thanks" Kelly said smiling at her and walking quickly to catch up with Matt.

———————————————————————————

Matt was on shift for the next 24 hours so he couldn't visit gabby until after his shift. He was distracted. Every time he tried to think about work his mind went straight back to Gabby. Seeing here laying there in that bed not breathing. Knowing that if she woke up he would have to tell her about the baby. A tear started to fall from his eye when his phone started to go off.

"Hello". He said answering the phone.

"Hi Matt this is Maggie the nurse from Chicago Med. Is now a good time to be speaking with you"? She asked.

"Yes ma'am is everything okay"? He asked panic raising in his voice.

"Is it possible that you could get to the hospital soon"? She asked.

"I can be there in twenty minutes. Is everything okay"?

"I can't explain it right now. Just get here". She said before hanging up the phone.

Matt knocked on Kelly's office window and than ran from to Bodens office. Kelly entered the office a few seconds after Matt.

"Casey is everything okay" the chief asked.

"The hospital... they just called about gabby.. I have to go". He said still trying to catch his breath.

"Okay. Kelly go with him. Don't let him drive". The chief said.

"Yes sir" Kelly said as him and Matt raced to the car.

The drive seemed like hours when it was only ten minutes. When they arrived they ran to Gabby's room to see Maggie standing outside the door.

"Maggie is she okay"? Matt asked.

"Matt the doctor is in there. Just go in". She said moving away from the door so matt could open it.

It took him a while. He was scared. What if she was dead? Why wouldn't Maggie tell him anything? Kelly put his hand in Matt's shoulder.

"I got you matt let's go". He said

What matt saw when he opened the door brought him to his knees sobbing he couldn't believe it.
