Meetings 33
"Guys, thank you so much for helping us out," Gabby said to Otis and Cruz as they were picking up some boxes in her bedroom.
"We are family so...," Otis winked to her before he and Cruz left her alone.
Just one week later when Gabby had told Casey about her pregnancy, they were able to move her things to his house. Casey and Shay didn't allow her to do a lot, Gabby felt that they were treating her like a baby or sick person, and she hated to be seen like that.
"Mommy" Anna ran to Gabby's bedroom. "Look what I found... I think it dropped from one of your boxes..."
"Let me have a look... " Gabby said as took the album from Anna's hands. "Oh, it's a long time since I saw these pictures..."
"You were a cute baby, mommy, " Anna giggled.
"Do you think?" Gabby asked smiling at her. Anna nodded. "Do you want to take a look with me?"
"Yes..." They walked to the bed and sat down. They spent a good time going through the pictures. Meanwhile, Casey was downstairs putting the boxes in the truck that he rented to bring Gabby's stuff to his place.
"Thanks, Herrmann."
"I think this one is the last one," Herrmann said. Otis, Cruz, Capp, and Severide approached them.
"Casey, what about the couch and table kitchen?" Capp asked.
"Gabby wants to donate them..." he answered looking at Capp, then turned to Herrmann, "... oh Herrmann this reminds me: can you check with Cindy if there is someone in her church that needs a couch or table?"
"Of course... I'll talk to her."
"Thanks again... Severide, I'll drive... can you take the girls with you...?"
"Sure, don't worry..."
"I see you guys at my house?" Casey asked pointing at Otis, Cruz, and Capp.
"Yeah..." Cruz said.
"Okay..." Casey walked to the driver's side and grabbed his phone from his pocket. "Babe... I'm leaving, Severide is gonna take you, Anna, and Shay with him..."
"Okay..." she sniffed, "I see you at home..." and sniffed again.
"Babe, are you crying?" Casey got worried. "What happened?"
"Nothing... I'm okay... Go home..." she wiped a few tears that were rolling down her face. Anna was hugging Gabby while Shay was caressing her back.
"I'm going there..." he gets out of the car. "Sev, can you stay here while I go upstairs?"
"Yes..." he answered quickly.
"No, Casey... it's not necessary..." Gabby insisted.
"Hey, I'm on my way..." A few minutes later he walked into the bedroom.
"Babe... tell me what happened..." as soon as she saw him she started to sob. Gabby got up and hugged him.
"Anna, let's wait for Gabby in the living room, okay" Shay took Anna's hand as she nodded. They left Gabby and Casey alone. Matt waited for her to calm down before saying something.
"I'm here for everything you need..." he whispered in her ear.
"You're gonna laugh at me..."
"Never... just tell me how you are feeling..." they were still hugging each other. Gabby pulled away to look at him.
"I was going through those pictures of my childhood and suddenly this thing hit me... I miss my parents and I wanted them with me right now... I'm sorry, I didn't want..." he cut her off.
"Hey, hey... it's okay... we're having a baby and, normally, you want your parents here..."
"I know... but it's not normal to cry like that... I think I got Anna upset..."
"Don't worry... I'll talk to her later... About your parents... when are they coming to Chicago?"
"They don't know... My grandmother is not well at the moment and my mom doesn't want to leave her side..."
"I understand... what about we visit them? I could take some days off..." he held her face to him.
"You'd do that?"
"Of course, I want to meet your parents..." he smiled at her.
"I love you..." she smiled this time.
"I love you more..." he kissed her on the lips. "And don't be sorry for crying, okay?" She nodded and kissed him.
"Where is the album?" he asked. Gabby glanced at her bed pointing to it. "Come here..." he took her hand on his and they sat together on the bed. "Oh my God... you were so cute..." he said. Gabby laughed. "I bet our baby will get your smile..." She leaned her head on his shoulder.
"... and your eyes..." she added as she put her hand on her flat belly.
One week later
"Oh..." Gabby moaned as she took off her bra. She walked to the mirror and observed her breasts, they were getting bigger and they ached a bit. One minute later Casey entered their bedroom, Gabby didn't notice him. He watched her for a few seconds as she was resting her hands on her belly. She wasn't gaining weight yet because of all sickness she lost weight. Trying not to make so much noise, he approached her from behind. She skipped a little and smiled after that.
"You're beautiful..."
"My breasts are bigger..." she said blushing.
"Yes, they are..." he put his hands over them, "I like them..."
"Men... " Gabby said rolling her eyes.
"Sorry..." he said little ashamed and brought his hands to her waist. She turned on his arms, now she was facing him.
"No, you aren't sorry..." she eyed him.
"You know me so well..." he smiled as he put a strand of hair behind her ear, then kissed her cheek.
"Let's take a nap?" Matt suggested because they were tired. They had had an intense shift until one hour before they left the firehouse.
"I have a better idea..." she said in a seductive tone.
"Yeah? What?" he looked at their bodies glued. She stood on her tiptoes, leaned her head, and whispered something in his ear. Casey's eyes widened, then she pulled away with a silly smile on her face.
"Hmm... I..." he gasped.
"What babe?" she laughed at him.
"Your idea is much better...," Matt kissed her, a hungry kiss and they didn't stop until got themselves naked under the sheets.
"Love you..." he said rolling them on the bed again. She was under him.
"I never get tired of these words..." she kissed him intensely.
"Love you... babe..." he kissed her neck a few times and one last time on the lips.
"If I wasn't so tired we were going to make love again..." she rested a hand on his cheek.
"I'm sorry for tired you up..."
"Hey... I just need some hours and I'll feel all rested, okay?" He nodded. "Now give your girl a kiss..." they smiled at each other.
