"Gabby made her way down the hallway, her body tensing as she went. Not daring to look up or at anyone as the other members of 51 shouted hellos to her. As she turned the corner into the bunk room she walked head first into a body.
"Sorry" she mumbled not even stopping to look up at who she'd walked into.
"You ok kid?" Hermanns voice said from behind her.
Gabby stopped and turned to face him, "I'm good, have you seen Matt?"
"No. He's been in his office for a while now." Hermann said as he scanned her face, stopping to take in the tears welling in her eyes again. "What's going on? What happened?" He asked concerned that something from one of their calls today was causing her to have a reaction like this.
"Nothing" she said pushing her tears away, "I'm ok honestly."
"You sure? You don't look it?"
She forced a smile onto her face "I'm ok Hermann honestly."
He sighed realizing he wasn't going to get a straight answer from her but aware that something was definitely bothering the young PIC. "Ok, well I'm here if you need to talk."
"Thanks" she said putting her head back down and heading towards Matt's office at the back of the bunk room. Hermann watched her go before heading towards the common room in search of one person in particular. Finding her sat at the table with a snack and coffee, he placed himself in the seat next to her.
"Hey Shay?" He asked, the blonde raising her head slightly in acknowledgment "is Dawson ok?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't she be?" She asked unsure why he was asking.
"I just.. she just walked straight into me in the bunk room, it looked like she'd been crying. Did something happen out there?"
Shay sighed, "she's in trouble." She admitted quietly not wanting the rest of the room to hear.
"Why? What happened?"
"She didn't tell Matt about the guy that pulled the gun on us, and somehow he's found out."
"Oh" Hermann said shocked, it was very un Gabby like to keep things like that from Matt. But then she had passed out later that morning so maybe it had just slipped her mind. But he doubted it. "How?"
"What?"
"How did he find out?"
"I don't know. But I'm assuming he found out somewhere between us stopping to try and eat and our last call because when Severide got to scene he kept giving her this angry look and Gabby had a text from him. They'd not long spoken so he defiantly didn't know before the call came in."
"That would make sense because that's the last time I saw him out of the office." Hermann turned to look around the room hoping to see the squad Lieutenant for some form of explanation into how Casey had found out, but he ended up falling empty. "How much trouble do you think she's in Shay?" He asked finally.
"I'd say a lot. He warned her about putting her life on the line, and what the consequences would be."
"But she didn't realize the situation until you guys were inside right." Hermann asked his brow furrowing upwards.
"Yea. But she hid this for a week Hermann, and you know he hates lying." She sighed again "I'm not sure if he'll follow through with what he's threatened but if I were Dawson I'd pray that he doesn't."
The older man seeing the worried look across the young paramedics face pulled her in close for a hug, "I'm sure it can't be that bad." Shay nodded against him.
"Trust me it can," she whispered "I was there when she made the deal, and believe me when I say it's far more than she's ever experienced before."
Hermann's face matching her look of worry as she spoke.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Gabby pushed the door open to the office her hands shaking slightly, giving a silent prayer that he didn't turn her around and lead her into the common room for her punishment. He looked up at her, anger burning in his eyes as she silently walked across the office and placed herself in the corner, resting her head against the wall as she sighed to herself. How did she keep getting herself in so much trouble. If she'd just told him about this before he probably wouldn't have even been mad at her. He walked behind her silently reaching round and undoing her pants, pushing them down to her knees her underwear going with them. Landing a single slap to her ass before he turned and walked away, locking his door on the way back to his desk.
She wasn't sure how long she'd been stood there, but she did know her legs were growing tried and her arms ached from keeping them bent upwards on her head. If she had to guess she'd been there for at least twenty minutes, she just hoped he wouldn't keep her there much longer.
Matt watched her standing there, her body hunched forwards slightly, her nose almost touching the corner of the office. He sighed trying to calm himself down, he needed to hear why she hadn't told him and the whole story before he could decide what to do.
Taking one last deep breath he called her over "Gabriela pull your pants up and come here."
She turned slowly pulling her pants back up and fastening her belt. She approached the bed, sitting down in front of him, her gaze focused at her feet.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asked.
"It wasn't really that big a deal. He swung at me and..."
"He what?" Matt growled.
"When we entered the apartment he swung at me."
"Ok, I need you to start at the beginning. Tell me everything and Gabriela don't leave out even the smallest of detail do you understand?"
She nodded, taking a deep breath. "It was our first call of the day." She explained, "we were called to an apartment where a neighbor had heard someone calling for help. The guy lived alone so she'd called for a welfare check, so Shay and I alongside a patrol car with Burgees and Ramon in, knocked but when we didn't get a response, they had the apartment manager unlock the door for us. We went in first, it all seemed calm at first but as we moved further inside the apartment we noticed tables and chairs all over the place, smashed glass and signs of struggle or so we thought. We could hear things being thrown and broken and as soon as he saw us he starting swinging his arms around, he caught my cheek and I stumbled to the ground." She saw Matt's face change, "but it was nothing, it caught me off guard more than anything, as I was standing up he grabbed me by my hair and dragged me into the back room where he pulled a gun out and held it to my head, telling them he would shoot if they didn't help him. Shay tried to talk him down, and he allowed them to come into the room, I treated him for some minor injuries all while he held the gun to my head. And then Burgees managed to catch him off guard and get the gun from him, but honestly Matt it was all a blur I couldn't tell you how she did it. So afterwards they arrested him and that was the end of it."
Matt sat in silence for a little while digesting everything she'd just told him. This was exactly what he had been worried about. This had happened so many times in the past year or so and he hadn't liked it before, she was pregnant now he absolutely hated it. Sighing loudly he said "Gabriela why didn't you tell me about this?"
"I didn't think it was a big deal. I wasn't hurt and I didn't think it was important."
"Really?" He questioned rising his eyebrows, "you didn't think I'd want to know someone how held you, the woman pregnant with my babies, the love of my life at gunpoint?"
Gabby sighed to herself "I was already in trouble and I was worried you'd view it as me putting myself in a dangerous position again. And well I was worried what you'd do."
"You didn't know he was armed going in?"
"No sir"
"And you didn't try and engage with him?"
"No sir"
"Then why did you think you'd be punished?"
"I don't know. I realize now I should have just told you."
Matt nodded, "yes you should have and we will be dealing with your keeping things from me but I want you to understand you can always tell me things like this. It is important you don't keep these things from me. What if this incident had caused you to have a slip mentally? I would have had no idea why."
"I know, I'm sorry."
"That you will be Gabriela, you can rest assured of that. But we will deal with it at home."
Gabby's face fell, she hated waiting for punishment. "Can't we just.."
"No!" He said firmly "and if I were you I wouldn't argue about this with me anymore."
"Yes sir."
Matt pulled her in for a hug, "I love you baby, and I don't want anything to happen to you, but you can't keep things like this from me." He closed his eyes taking in her embrace and scent. She always smelt perfect a mixture of cocoa butter and macadamia, both of them taking the moment to just be together and feel each other. Kissing her head gently he said "did you eat?"
"Yes, we managed to get some food and ate it on our way back from the last hospital drop."
"Good. And how are you feeling?"
"I'm a bit tired but nothing too much."
"Ok. Do you want to lay down?"
Gabby smiled up at him, "do you mind?"
"No of course not" he said smiling back at her and pulling them both down on to the bed. "Come on I'll lay with you for a bit."
Smiling softly she settled herself against his chest and closed her eyes concentrating solely of the feel of his hand on her back, letting the motion sooth her to sleep.
The rest of the shift went by quickly the house being kept pretty busy with calls. Gabby for one was grateful to be kept so busy, after her short power nap she'd woken feeling anxious about what Matt had in store for her when they got home. Knowing if he was waiting until then it couldn't be anything good.
"You ok?" Shay asked for the millionth time as they headed back from a call later that evening.
"I'm fine Shay!" Gabby snapped, causing the blonde to jump at her tone. "Sorry" she said quickly "I don't mean to snap. It's just I wish he'd have dealt with it there and then. I mean I don't know how long I was stood in that corner imagining what was about to happen, and now I'm walking round wondering what on earth he has planned now."
"Maybe he isn't going to do anything"
"I doubt it. When I said I was sorry, he told me I would be. No I'm sure he's got something planned."
"Why don't you just ask him?" Shay said reversing the rig back into the house.
"I value the ability to sit!" Gabby responded sarcastically, "he doesn't take kindly to me telling him when and how to punish me."
"But you won't be, your only asking what to expect. Surely he'll give you that much?"
Gabby shook her head, as frustrating as it was having to wait to face her consequence she wasn't going to make it worse by trying to make him tell her details before he was ready. She'd made the mistake of questioning him before and it hadn't ended well for her butt. "I'm just going to try and get some rest and hope we aren't called out again." She replied. It was already two o'clock in the morning and she was absolutely wrecked with exhaustion. Her entire body aching, a need for sleep taking over her as a yawn escaped. Shay nodded in agreement as they both jumped down from ambo and headed towards their bunks. Gabby could see the light on in Matt's office and decided to see if he was still awake as she passed.
"Hey" she said poking her head round the door, "why aren't you sleeping?" Matt was sat at his desk working his way through a mountain of paperwork.
"I've got so much to get through before the morning, and I can't sleep when your out on a call." He said smiling up at her, "you look tired."
"I am, I was just heading to bed." She confirmed moving closer to him for a hug.
Kissing her softly he said "sleep well baby."
"I'll try" she smiled, "you need to sleep too though. Finish this in the morning."
"I don't want you to have to wait around too much though, remember your dad is coming over and then we've got to deal with your covering things up."
Gabby groaned at the reminder of her up and coming punishment.
"Hey, don't worry ok?" He said sensing her nervousness as her body tensed slightly against his.
"Not so easy when I don't know what's coming." The sarcasm in her voice making his brow furrow.
"Yea well that's part of your punishment Mrs Casey! Don't do the crime if you can't do the time."
Gabby wanted to reply with something witty but thought better of it given the circumstances, so she opted for "yes sir" instead.
"Now go sleep, I'll see you in the morning." He said kissing the side of her head before turning her towards the door and slapping her butt as she walked away.
Next morning Gabby woke with an over powering feeling of nausea, launching herself out of bed and down the hallway as quickly as she could she collapsed on the bathroom floor, waves of sickness sweeping over her as she threw up relentlessly into the toilet in front of her.
"Gabs" Shay's voice drifted through the bathroom "you ok?"
"I'll be fine" she replied before another wave hit her. Sitting back she asked "can you grab me some water please, and get Matt."
"Sure, I'll be right back." She heard the door close again as Shay's boots pounded the ground quickly making her way through the firehouse to grab Matt first and then some water, ignoring the concerned looks of the firefighters slowly waking from their slumber.
"Casey" she called knocking on his office door, "Casey wake up man!"
"What's all the shouting about?" Severide said poking his head out of his own office.
"It's Dawson, I need.."
"What's wrong Shay" Casey opened his door hearing her say Gabby's name and fear washing over him.
"She's throwing up pretty bad, she asked me to get you and some water."
"Bring her some ginger ale too and grab her tablets out her bag." He said running off towards the bathroom. Moving through the station at a brisk pace he soon found her curled in a ball on the ground, tears streaming down her face. "Ssshhh, it's ok." He soothed rubbing her back "I've got you" he sat down next to her pulling her into his lap gently, rocking her slightly as her body shook. The morning sickness having taken everything out of her, her face pale and skin cold.
"Here you go" Shay said moments later, taking in the sight in front of her. "Tablets, water, and ginger ale. Do you need anything else?"
"Can you grab a blanket please Shay, she's freezing."
Shay nodded and headed back out towards the bunk room.
"Is she ok?" Severide asked concerned as he watched Shay head towards the spares closet and grab a blanket.
"She will be, Matt's got it. Can you go tell chief, he'll have to take 61 out of service until shift change. She's in no state to be going out." It was only about five in the morning and they'd got until eight for handover, Shay aware that when Gabby's sickness was as bad as it had been this morning it took her several hours to feel normal again.
"Yea no worries, I'll go tell him."
She walked back into the bathroom to the sound of Gabby throwing up again and Matt making soothing noises. Heading round the corner to where they were she told Matt that she'd told Severide to ask chief to take 61 out of service. Casey thanking her and asking if she could keep as many people out of the bathroom while they were in there. Not wanting Gabby to have to deal with everyone seeing and hearing her throw up.
An hour later Matt scooped Gabby up in his arms and headed towards his office, she'd finally stopped being sick long enough to take her tablets and he just hoped they'd kick in soon. He hated seeing her so weak and fragile and not being able to do much to help. Still he was grateful that the doctor had said morning sickness usually only lasted for the first trimester and they were heading into the final week of that the up and coming Monday.
"Try and sleep" Matt said kissing her softly on the head. "I'm going to get a coffee and speak to chief, see if I can take you home."
"No Matt, I'll be ok here. You shouldn't have to leave shift because of me." She said shaking her head.
"I know you don't want me too, but I don't mind. What if we get called out?"
"Then I'll wait here and try and sleep some."
Matt sighed he didn't like it but he wasn't going to argue with her "ok, but if you start to feel worse we're going home ok?"
"Deal" she smiled weakly, laying her head back down and closing her eyes.
As it was the house was pretty quiet before handover, Matt wasn't sure if that had something to do with the chief or not, but he was grateful for the quietness. It meant he could get on with the paperwork he'd abandoned when ambo had got back in the early hours. As eight o'clock rolled around he wrapped up the final report and headed towards Connie's desk to hand them in.
"Morning Connie" he greeted as he saw her, "you look nice."
"Thanks Casey, you look exhausted. Did you have a busy night?"
"Not really, ambo did. They didn't get in till two and then Dawson woke at five throwing up. I can't sleep when she's out so neither of us got much sleep last night. I'll be thankfully to get home and into bed."
"Is she still struggling with the sickness?" Connie asked.
"Yea, she won't admit defeat though, she's still insistent and working ambo. Even when she's as busy as they've been the past couple of shifts. It's been pretty bloody."
"I can see that by the amount of paperwork I'm filing everyday" she said nodding towards the mountain of papers in his arms.
"Yea, sorry these are slightly later than usually."
"No worries Casey. Go get changed up, shift is about to end get Dawson home and into her own bed."
"Thanks Connie."
"No problem. Have a nice day."
"And you" Matt said turning to leave, nodding at Severide who was entering the ball pen his own paperwork in hand.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
"Baby wake up your dad's going to be here in about an hour." Matt said softly stroking her face. They'd texted him on the way home and asked if he could come after lunch instead of the morning, explaining it had been a busy shift and both of them needed some rest. He'd responded straight away saying it was no problem and he'd bring lunch over with him. Something that made Matt really happy knowing that they needed to go to the grocery store as the cupboards were next to bare anyway.
"I'm tired." Gabby grumbled, pulling the pillow over her head.
"Come on, I've put the coffee on."
"Don't want to!" She grumbled again.
Matt couldn't help but smile at how cute she sounded half asleep, but knowing if he let her sleep too much now she'd be up all night. And it would get them in a vicious cycle of her not sleeping properly.
"Come on, up" he said more firmly pulling the comforter off her.
Gabby opened her eyes and pouted at him "fine!" She spat. "But let the record say I'm not happy about it!"
"Surly noted" Matt smirked "but don't speak to me like that." He scolded, his eyebrows raising.
"Sorry" she mumbled.
"Yea, don't let it happen again"
"Yes sir." She said swinging her legs out of the bed and heading towards the bathroom. "I'm going to shower" she said over her shoulder, "care to join" she asked smiling softly at him.
"When do I ever say no?" He asked pulling his T-shirt over his head as he followed her.
Smirking at him she pushed her shorts off and pulled her own T-shirt over her head before disappearing behind the glass door. Matt's cock twitched as he followed her in, watching as the warm water ran down her body. The sight of her making him insistently hard, he stepped into the shower and closed the door. Grabbing her hips and pulling her body back into his, his need for her causing a small growl to form in the back of her throat. His hands running up her sides and around her front to pinch her nipple hard, her head falling backwards on to his chest as her body reacted to his touch. He attached his lips to the nape of her neck nibbling softly and leaving light marks across her skin, slowly he moved his hands down towards her sex, her breaths deepening as they made their descent. He paused at her public bone gently stroking across the skin as he bit down on her neck leaving a bigger mark this time, the action causing her to buck against him and moan his name.
"You like that?" he smirked against her.
"Stopping teasing" she begged, pushing up on her toes hoping to feel his finger on her sex. He slapped his hand down against her thigh, not too hard but not gently either.
"All in good time?" he whispered, bringing his hands back up towards her nipples, rolling them in his fingers.
"Tease" she moaned.
"Turn around" he ordered, she did as she was told. Turning slowly in his embrace as he pushed her gently against the shower wall, his lips attaching to her nipples at a record speed, her arms flying out to steady herself as the pleasure cursed through her body. Matt moving his wet sloppy kisses further down until he was nibbling the skin across her pubic bone, leaving marks on her hips. Sliding his fingers inside her as her head fell backwards, eyes closing as every nerve in her body tingled, Matt's mouth soon joining his fingers in paying attention to her most sensitive area. Gabby screamed his name as she fell over the edge, her fingers tangled in his hair, his free hand supporting them both. He lapped at her juices as they flowed on to his face, helping her ride out the orgasm rippling through her body.
"Turn round and hold that wall" he ordered when she'd finally come down from her high, Gabby did as instructed, bracing herself for him to enter her. Matt lining himself up behind her before sliding in easily, pausing when he was down to the hilt. Both of them groaning at the sensation. Matt waited for a moment allowing her to adjust to him before thrusting long deep strokes in and out of her, pulling all the way back before slamming back in at a slowly and steady pace. Gabby moaning softly against the wall he had her pinned up against. Sliding his hand round her waist to support her as he picked up pace, attaching his lips back to her neck and biting down sharply. A small squeak left her lips, as they picked up the pace again, both of them heading closer and closer to the release the both so desperately saught. Matt stroking his fingers against her swollen clit, bringing her right to the edge, the desperation in her voice as she called out for permission to cum. Matt picking up the pace even more as a silent confirmation, her orgasm rolling out seconds later, her muscles clamping down tightly around him as her body shook and his own orgasm exploded inside her. The small shower filled with their pants and moans, their body's shuddering together. Gabby's legs weak in the aftermath, Matt supporting her body weight and placing soft kisses against her neck and back.
"You ok?" he asked, loosening his grip and reaching for the body wash.
"More than ok" she said turning to face him, "That was amazing, pregnancy really seems to have heightened my sensation."
"I could tell" he said handing her the body wash.
They showered and changed quickly, their antics having cost them a lot of time. Gabby slipped into some sweats and Matt's CFD hoodie, while Matt pulled on some jeans and a loose t-shirt, before heading out to the kitchen and setting the coffee machine. Gabby slumping down on the sofa, book in hand and blanket wrapped round her shoulders.
"Are you cold?" Matt asked seeing her all wrapped up.
She shook her head, "No, it's just comfortable like this."
Matt kissing her forehead and settling down next to her, his wife automatically placing her legs over the top of his lap wiggling her foot in his direction. Matt chuckling at the silent hint. "You want something?" he teased.
"They ache" she pouted "please" she said in the most adorable voice she could muster. Matt smiling as he slowly started to massage her feet as she read.
It wasn't long before the door went disturbing the comfortable silence in which they'd been sat in the past ten minutes. Matt saying he'd get it, while Gabby set her book down and followed behind him to greet her dad.
"Hey Ramon" Matt smiled opening the front door to see the older man stood there, "Come in."
"Hi Matt, Gabriela" he said nodding in the direction of his daughter "You look well."
"Hi papa, I'm doing ok." she responded smiling weakly at Matt. "Come in, where would you like to eat?"
"Anywhere's fine" he said following her through the apartment.
"Shall we just sit in here, it's probably more comfortable." Matt suggested, heading towards the kitchen to grab some plates.
Gabby nodded, sitting back down in her seat and wrapping the blanket back around her shoulders. "How've you been dad?"
"Good, I'm good."
"And mum?"
"She's good. Busy with her church group, you know same old."
"That I do dad. Sorry I missed you yesterday it was a crazy one."
Ramon frowned "Yes it seemed that way." Gabby noticed his face and smiled nervously waiting for him to say whatever it was he was seeking her out for. Matt returned to the living room plates in hand and noticing the tense silence that had fallen over the room. Sitting down next to Gabby he reached out for her hand, squeezing it gently.
"Who's hungry?" he asked trying to break the awkwardness. "Let's eat?"
Gabby reached for a plate and started dishing up some of the food she was sure her mother had made for them. Thankful for the home comforts to enjoy while she encountered what she was sure was about to be a really awkward conversation. "So dad" she started sitting back and taking a few bites, "what is it that brought you to our side of town?"
"Well Mija, I wanted to apoligise first off." Gabby looking at him shocked, if there was one thing the Dawson men were not good at it was admitting they were wrong about anything, "The way I acted when you first told us about your pregnancy, it was wrong of me. I shouldn't have acted like that."
"Well thanks dad, I appreciate it."
"I do have concerns though Gabriela and that's the other reason I'm hear. I've been speaking with your brother." Gabby groaned loudly, Matt shooting her a look that said just listen to what he has to say. "I know you don't like it when we talk about you mija but we are all concerned. You can't expect any of us to be happy about you still being out there can you?"
"It's my decision dad."
"No Gabriela that's where your wrong, it's not just your decision. It should be Matt's too."
Gabby glancing across to her husband willing him to say anything in support of her being out there. When he didn't say anything she sighed, "Dad, Matt and I have an agreement, I keep working as long as I don't put myself in unnecessary danger."
"And you've kept to that agreement have you?" He asked, a knowing tone in his voice.
"I get the feeling you already know the answer to that." she sighed.
"Antonio said you ran into a burning car first shift in."
Gabby nodded, "I did, but that was before we made a deal." she said pointing between herself and Matt.
"Technically it was after the first agreement and before the second Gabby" Matt said softly.
Gabby glaring at him, "You're not helping" she whispered.
Matt not willing to get into it in front of her dad, closed his mouth, tapping his finger against her hand in warning. It was subtle enough that her dad didn't see, but Gabby knew what it meant. Remembering she was already in trouble she took a deep breath before continuing. "I'm not going to be benched because people don't like it, I've already said I'll step down when chief finds someone suitable to ride ambo with Shay and when the job becomes too much for me. Neither of those things have happened yet, therefore I am not stepping down." Her voice was firm but not disrespectful.
"I understand that sweetheart" her dad tried again, "I'm just concerned about you and those grand babies inside you."
Gabby nodded that she understood, while helping herself to another plate of food. After being sick this morning she'd been starving but afraid to eat until now. She just hoped that the food would stay in her belly with the help of her tablets.
"I don't like you being in a dangerous position, when you are more vulnerable" Seeing her face changed he quickly added, "I know you can handle yourself, but what if someone pulls a gun at you or worse." Gabby gulped hearing the truth in his words, that scenario had already happened and she'd be lying if she said she hadn't been scared.
"I know dad" Gabby glanced at Matt, "Look I know you both don't like it and I understand your reasoning and I respect that but I will go stir crazy if I can't go out like normal for at least a little longer." Running her hand across her face as she thought of a compromise that they may all agree to, "What if I do this?" she suggested, "I will work ambo for another eight weeks, that will take me through to twenty weeks and to be honest by then I probably won't be able to fit in the front of ambo, if this bump is anything to go by" she lifted her top up slightly letting them both see the little bump slowing forming, "that will give Chief enough time to find me some cover, and if at any point before that it gets too much I'll step down ok?"
Matt looked over at Ramon who seemed to be thinking it over. Smiling to himself, as he realized they may actually be getting somewhere. Despite his best efforts this was the furthest he'd got in getting any sense of the timeline in which Gabby thought this would all play out.
"Six weeks max?" Ramon said, offering her a counter offer. Gabby sighed a deep sigh looking between her father and husband, the latter nodding softly at her.
"Ok, six weeks" she said finally settling on the fact she probably wasn't going to get them to agree to too much longer than that. "Then I'll help Connie"
"Deal" Ramon said smiling at her. "Now tell me more about how you've been."
Matt sat back satisfied that Antonio's plan had worked, Ramon making a lot more progress in a few short minutes than he had in three weeks. Happy that he now had an end in sight to when he'd be holding his breath every time the alarms rang out calling ambo into action. Watching the two interact happily and eating the delicious food his mother in law had sent over.
The afternoon quickly passed and before long Gabby was yawning and looked exhausted again. Taking his cue from her he made his goodbyes, kissing her softly on the head. "I love you Mija, I'll speak to you in the week ok? You rest up." Turning to Matt he shook his hand firmly, "You look after my daughter Matthew." he said firmly, Gabby rolling her eyes behind him, Matt smiling at him, as he raised an eyebrow at Gabby's action.
"I will Ramon, send Camile our best. And please thank her for this amazing food" he said indicating towards the leftovers now sitting on the breakfast bar.
"I will" he assured him, before putting his coat on and exiting the apartment, Matt following after him. "Thanks for today Ramon, she's really been upset about not talking to you. And thanks for getting her to agree a date to step down."
"Your welcome." he said smiling at the younger man, "And congratulations again."
"Thanks Ramon, drive safely."
Matt closed the door behind him and smiled to himself, that had gone really well. He ad been worried when Antonio suggested getting their dad to talk to her, especially after the older Dawson's initial reaction to their news. Making the short walk back inside the apartment, he noticed Gabby had already curled herself into a ball and was sleeping softly. He smiled again watching her chest rise and fall slowly, a contented look on her face. Pulling the blanket over the top of her, he headed into the kitchen to put the leftovers away, before settling himself at the breakfast bar. He still needed to think of what to do about her keeping the gun incident from him, and he was adamant he didn't want to be spanking her hard. He wasn't comfortable using the belt on her and he hated using the cane. He knew he needed to talk to her about it before making a decision but he didn't want to use anything he couldn't control fully, anything that swung could miss it's target and really hurt her or the babies. Pulling out his laptop he decided to do some research into punishments he could safely deliver while she was pregnant, knowing if he was going to discuss this with her he needed to go in prearmed with facts. He pulled up some forums on bdsm and pregnancy, reading that most people refrained from using anything more than a paddle as it was easier to control and the spankee is in a position where the spanker can see if any damage is being caused, he also read that it was common for the spankee's pain threshold to be lower than normal, another good reason not to use anything to drastic. Deciding that he too wasn't willing to use more than the paddle he quickly started typing up a new list of rules.
Our agreement! Adjustment's for during pregnancy
Gabriela must always try to abide by the following rules:-
• Speak in a respectful tone to Matt and anyone else.
• No shouting at people.

• Always tell the truth, even if it's going to get you in trouble.
• Follow all orders.
• No putting your life in more danger than is required for the job.
• Gabriela must eat three meals a day.
The consequences:- all consequences are in addition to corner time and hand spanking warm up.
Giving unnecessary attitude to anyone - 10 strokes of the paddle
Shouting at people - 10 strokes of the paddle
Maintenance spanking - hand and fifiteen with the brush
Rolling eyes - 20 brush
Lying - Hand spanking and lines. Repeat lying will result in grounding for a length of time.
Disobeying an order - 20 minute hand spanking, and grounded for the reminder of the day
Risking life - 10 minutes hand spanking, 10 minutes paddle, lines and grounding.
Not eating three meals - 30 with the brush.
Repeat offences will incur double the amount to be added to punishment, unless maximum strokes have been received in which case multiple spankings will incur until the number is reached. Any punishment will be delivered at home, even for infractions at the firehouse. The punishment will be delivered after dinner and after the punishment is complete Gabriela will be sent to bed no matter how early it is.
If an infraction at the firehouse requires more attention than determining it has resulted in a punishment due, Gabriela will stand in the corner of the office for a length of time with her pants down.
Maximum strokes:
-100 brush or 10 minutes
-100 paddle or 10 minutes
In cases of breaking multiple rules, an extended period of time will be spent in the corner and result in grounding, on top of the prescribed consequence.
If Gabriela finds herself grounded then her phone and laptop must remain in the drawer when in the house, the only time these can be used are for work related issues and if out running.
Satisfied with the new rules and consequences he'd set out, he printed the document alongside the information he'd found on the forum and decided to wake Gabby for dinner. She'd been asleep for a couple of hours now and she wouldn't sleep tonight if he didn't wake her.
Padding softly across the apartment he flicked the lamp in the corner on, flooding the hallway with light before leaning down and kissing head gently, "Gabby" he whispered, "It's time to wake up baby."
She mumbled as she rolled to her side, pulling the blanket up over her head.
Matt smiled to himself, it was always a battle to wake her up, more so now the pregnancy was draining her so much. "Come on baby you need to get up"
"No" she said pouting at him.
"Gabby come on, you've been asleep two hours. You need to eat and we have some stuff we have to deal with don't we?"
She groaned underneath the blanket, rolling her eyes as she sat up. "Do we have to, I've already done corner time." she pleaded.
"I know, which is why I'm not making you stand in the corner again but we do need to talk and deal with this" he replied sadly. It was as tough for him as it was her. "Come on" he said offering her his hand, "Let's get some dinner first I need to speak to you about something."
Gabby reached out and took his hand following him into the kitchen, he passed her a ginger ale before setting about making two plates of leftovers up. Sitting down next to her and pulling the papers across towards them. "While you were sleeping" he began "I did some research, into this type of relationship and pregnancy."
"Ok" She nodded waiting to hear what was on his mind, taking in the worried look on his face.
"I know we said we'd keep everything the same but Gabby I'm not comfortable doing that," he paused watching her reaction carefully. When her face didn't show any sign of anything he continued, "I don't mind still spanking you but I won't be using anything more than a paddle." he said firmly, "The belt and cane are far too harsh and so many things could go wrong, what if I land a swat too hard or god forbid a stroke wraps round your front. It's too dangerous and I'm not willing to risk it. After I caned you the other day I felt like crap, after you'd gone to sleep I sat crying for a long time."
Gabby wrapped her arms around him shocked at his confession, "Why didn't you say something?" she asked.
"I didn't want to upset you" he responded hugging her back. "I slipped into a different headspace and I didn't like it. It's not something I want to repeat, that feeling was horrible."
"I knew something wasn't right." she said "You were really quiet all evening. I think you had a drop."
"Yeah I'd say I did" Matt agreed, "But I'm ok now and with that in mind I did some research and got some ideas of other ways to punish you during your pregnancy."
"You did" she said raising her eyebrow, Matt had never done research off his own back they'd always done it together.
"I did" he confirmed "and I rewrote our agreement." He pushed the papers towards her, tucking into his dinner while she read in between bites of her own.
When she'd finished she turned to him and said "Lines?"
"Yes" he confirmed, nodding his head. "It was Kelly that suggested that and everything I read today has agreed it's an effective punishment. Kelly said that the two times Stella has had to write lines, the behavior hasn't been repeated afterwards. So if your in agreement with those rules?" He waited for her to make a sign of confirmation before continuing, she nodded her head slowly. "This is what is going to happen once we have finished eating, you are going to go and sit on our bed and wait for me. When I come in I am going to spank your bare bottom with my hand until it is good and red and then you are going to sit your sore behind down at this breakfast bar and write 'I must not keep important information from my husband' five hundred times. When you have finished you are going to get ready for bed and you are going to have an early bedtime. And I don't want to hear any arguments about it. Am I clear?"
"Yes sir" she said grateful that he wasn't going to use anything more than his hand. Even though she'd said she wanted to continue the last spanking had proved to her that her pain threshold was lower with her heighten sensitivity and it wasn't a good idea to continue in that way.
"Good, eat up." he instructed. They both fell into a quietness, Gabby's thoughts on the up and coming punishment she was about to receive. Finishing her plate she looked over at Matt who was watching her intently. "Off you go", he instructed "I'll clean up here and be right behind you." Gabby nodded standing up and making her way towards the bedroom.
Matt sighed to himself as he washed the dishes and put them in the rack to dry. Drying his hands and making his way towards the bedroom. Gabby was as instructed sat on the bed waiting for him, her head hung downwards.
"Stand up" he instructed in a firm tone. She did as instructed moving slightly so he could sit on the edge of the bed, reaching up for her arm and positioning her to his right hand side. He asked "Why are we here Gabriela?".
"Because I lied and hid the fact someone had pulled a gun on me."
"And why is that wrong?"
"Because it could have triggered a negative reaction in my road to recovery."
"Ok then. Pants down"
Gabby pushed her pants down and draped herself over his lap. The first slap echoed around the otherwise silent apartment, a small squeak escaping from her lips as the next blow landed, Matt working his way around her entire butt turning it to a deep shade of pink. The pain increasing as he landed several blows to the same spot, the tears brimming at the edges of her eyes as she thought about why she was back in this position so soon after her last punishment.
SMACK
"You do not"
SMACK
"LIE"
SMACK
"Or keep"
SMACK
"Vital information"
SMACK
"From me"
SMACK
"Am I understood"
SMACK
"Yes sir" she sobbed, the pain intensifying as he concentrated on her sit spots, turning them to a deep crimson color. Sensing she had learnt her lesson he landed ten more sharp SLAPS before stopping and rubbing circles into her back, making soothing sounds to her.
It took Gabby a short while to realize he'd stopped spanking her, the tears streaming down her face as she lay limply across his lap.
"I'm sorry sir" she cried.
"I know, the spanking is over. Are you ready to get up?"
"Yes sir" she said, pushing upwards on his knee and curling herself onto his lap her throbbing butt between his legs. "Do I really have to write lines?"
"Yes Gabriela you do" he said landing a firm slap against her sore ass. "I can always turn you back over and continue if you want to argue about it?"
"No, No thank you. I'm good" she smiled weakly.
"Good, well I suggest you walk your red ass through to the kitchen and get to work." He said kissing her temple.
"Yes sir."
It took Gabby several long hours to complete the lines, her ass aching as she sat on the unforgiving wooden stool at the breakfast bar. Matt sat next to her typing up invoices for his latest construction work. Occasionally stroking her back gently when she winced in pain at sitting on a freshly spanked backside. When she was finished she washed up and put fresh sleep shorts on, pulling one of Matt's t-shirts on she climbed into bed. Matt smiled at her obedience when he entered the bedroom a little while later.
"Good girl" he said, approaching the bed and sitting down next to her.
"Have you learnt your lesson?"
"Yes sir, I really don't like writing lines. My wrist hurts."
Matt kissed it softly, before tucking her in and kissing her forehead. "Sleep" he said "I love you."
"I love you too" she said snuggling down on her side.
So what did you think? Do you like the new contract? I'm aware a few of you were uncomfortable with the old one being in place while she was pregnant, and I've got to admit I was too. That's why I was steering towards this solution, I hope it's agreeable to you my readers?
Let me know and once again thanks for reading :)
