AnnaBeth looked up from the TV screen that had Lemon's face blown up on it as Gabby walked through into the living room and threw herself down onto the couch grabbing a pillow and holding it against her.
"Well would you look at the pair of you" Lemon said shaking her head "You ought to be ashamed of yourselves"
"It's too early for her" Gabby groaned "Make her go away"
"Look you two are in a mess at work, in your personal lives, you're sat there moping around" Lemon told them "Someone needs to give you a good talking to"
"My personal life is not a mess and I am not moping" AnnaBeth said holding her hands up "I am perfectly fine"
"How do you know about work?" Gabby asked raising an eyebrow.
"You two think I don't have my sources everywhere?" Lemon asked.
AnnaBeth just shook her head. It was no surprise Lemon Breeland could be all the way in Bluebell Alabama and still know everything about her life.
"She is an evil genius" She replied turning to Gabby.
"Now this Chief Pridgen not only thinks the sun comes up just to hear him crow but is an all-around bad guy" Lemon said looking through her papers "We need to find a weakness"
"We do not need to do anything" She said shaking her head "No shenanigans, I say no to the shenanigans"
"When you change your minds, we will come back to that" Lemon sniffed "Now onto the next order of business"
"The next order of business it you tell me what is going on with you or I am disconnecting this call" She warned.
"I have another call to make this morning" Lemon told her "When you come to your senses and realize you need me to help you with your life, I will be there for you"
"Why thank you Lemon you are such a good friend" She said trying not to roll her eyes "Talk soon, love you"
AnnaBeth disconnected the call and looked over at Gabby. They had found out that not only were they stuck with a Chief who made fun of their team while Chief Boden was mourning his father, but that Matt had been sleeping with this new Chief's wife. AnnaBeth would like to say she couldn't imagine what Gabby was going through but she knew that kind of hurt all too well. It was so soon after the break-up. AnnaBeth had truly been shocked by Matt's actions she hadn't expected it from him at all.
"Come on" Gabby sighed "We better get to shift"
AnnaBeth grabbed her bag and walked out to the car jumping in the passenger side. She took a sip of her coffee and turned up the radio.
"You know" She said when they were sitting in the bunk room "Lemon would say a break up is a race, which is completely insane, but maybe going on a date wouldn't be the worst idea, get your mind off of things"
"A race?" Gabby laughed "I'm not sure I'm ready to go on a date"
"Oh yes" She nodded "There is apparently a winner and a loser, after George left her at the alter she found out he had asked a women out on a date, she said she had to lap him but getting into a relationship, it was a train wreck"
"She keeps you on your toes huh?" Gabby asked with a smile.
"She does indeed" She replied "But I wouldn't have her any other way"
"Thanks for just being a good friend" Gabby told her.
"So, I'm thinking pizza, ice cream, a good movie, cry worthy or laugh worthy whatever takes your fancy" She suggested "And cocktails in our pajama's"
"Deal" Gabby nodded as the bells went off.
AnnaBeth jumped into the ambulance beside Peter and put her belt on as they made their way towards the fire. She was surprised when Chief Pridgen called off truck 81 and sent them to help a man with a sprained ankle. Squad were left to deal with the building alone to save a trapped little girl.
"I swear that arrogant son of a…"She muttered to herself.
"Are you ok there AB?" Peter asked with a grin.
"Just peachy" She replied.
Kelly walked out of the building carrying a young girl he laid down on the stretcher.
"You are going to be just fine sweetie" She told her "We're going to take you to the hospital now"
AnnaBeth got into the back of the ambulance with the little girl and put an oxygen mask on her while Peter drove.
She was picking up supplies when Jonah cornered her. She raised an eyebrow expectantly.
"Did you hear from Lemon?" He asked.
"Yes" She replied, "I'm guessing you were her next urgent call this morning?"
"She had a run in with Grandma Betty, and lost her cheque for fancies, apparently she's coming for a visit" He told her.
"And you don't want her to stay with you?" She asked with a smile.
"Oh, she said she's staying with you" He replied with a grin "She's sorting my love life out but apparently she's concerned about the train wreck that is you and your roommate's lives"
"You better talk her out of it" She warned him poking a finger on his chest "Or that time she made you eat a rug will seem like a fond memory"
"You don't want to see your best friend?" He asked cocking his head to the side.
"Well of course I do" She replied "I just am not in the mood for her meddling"
AnnaBeth wasn't sure what to make of the whole thing. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her life. But then with Lemon it was probably just because she felt her own life was out of control. Gabby just wanted some time to feel sad and she needed time to work things out for herself about her feelings. A Lemon intervention felt like the last thing she needed.
