Shay woke up and reached for Gabby's hand. She frowned when she couldn't find it. She forced her eyes open and looked around. She heard the shower running and sighed "Gabby?" She called out. "Yeah?" Gabby called out from the en suite. Shay grinned and approached the door. She tied the handle. It was unlocked. She walked into the steamy room. Gabby turned around "finally" she smiled as Shay undressed. Gabby kissed her and pulled her into the steam.

The day went by quickly, Gabby made Shay do a proper grocery shop and then they went for a coffee. Gabby looked at Shay. Shay blushed slightly "what?" She smiled, looking down.

"Nothing" Gabby smiled contentedly "I just love you, that's all"

"Well, who wouldn't" Shay chuckled, placing her hand on Gabby's. Gabby bit her lip. Shay gently entwined her fingers with Gabby's. Her eyes fell on the scar on Gabby's head. She looked at it. Gabby knew. They met each other's eyes. Gabby's soft brown eyes pulled Shay in. She smiled as Gabby stroked her hand "you don't need to worry any more" Gabby whispered. Shay rolled her eyes and gripped Gabby's hand "oh really"

"I won't do anything reckless ever again"

"well I know that's a lie, and I suppose I fell in love with your recklessness" Shay smiled

"Oh really?" Gabby laughed "in that case maybe I'll start jumping into burning cars more often"

"I think not" Shay giggled. Gabby left some money on the table and they walked to the car. When they got to the apartment Severide was just leaving.

"Hey" Shay smiled

"Hi" he said stiffly

"Woah what's up?" Shay asked worriedly

"Benny" Severide sighed "he's caused some trouble somewhere and wants me to pick him up. As usual"

"Hey don't stress ok it's not your fault"

"Yeah" he smiled. She squeezed his arm. He smiled.

"See you later?" She asked

"Molly's?"

"Yeah" she nodded

"Sure" he smiled and walked to his car. Gabby held the door open and they both walked inside. Gabby laughed as Shay yawned. Gabby had a shift at Mollys starting at 5 and Shay was going to meet Severide there at 8. Gabby ran her hand over Shay's cheek. Shay looked at her "how's your arm?" She asked, pulling at Gabby's sleeve.

"It's fine" Gabby smiled

Shay looked at it and nodded

"See?" Gabby laughed

"Well I know what you're like" Shay said quietly "I... I thought I was going to lose you"

"Hey we both made it right?" Gabby said, she felt guilty enough "it doesn't matter now"

"It's just that... I want you to know that you can always tell me anything"

"I know" Gabby said seriously "I know I just panicked and I guess I just hoped it wasn't anything serious"

"I know" Shay smiled "but just know that even if I've got stuff going on you still can tell me"

"Yeah" Gabby nodded

"We can get through anything together" Shay nodded. Gabby smiled "I'm sorry"

"Hey it's fine now, it all worked out but let's just make sure it never happens again"

"Deal" Gabby nodded. Shay gripped her hand and kissed her head "good". Severide stormed through the door followed by a furious Benny.

"DONT try and tell me this was for me" Severide said angrily

"Kelly I was just trying to get you noticed" Benny protested

"Well how about I don't WANT" to be noticed!" Severide hurled back

Shay and Gabby looked at each other. Benny tried to reason with a roaring Kelly.

"Just go!" Severide snapped

"Kelly come on"

"GO!"

Benny raised his hands and retreated towards the door. Shay walked over to Kelly. She placed her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her "I'm sorry" he whispered. Shay nodded "it's fine" she smiled.

Gabby stood up and grabbed her jacket. She smiled "I've gotta get to Molly's" she smiled

"Sorry" Kelly said

Gabby shook her head "don't worry"

Shay followed Gabby to the door "hey I'm sorry"

"Shay don't worry, families argue"

"I'll come to Molly's later ok, have a drink"

"Ok" Gabby smiled

"I love you" Shay smiled, kissing Gabby

"I love you more" Gabby giggled and walked to her car. Shay watched her and smiled. She took a deep breath and turned back to Kelly. He needed her. She sat with him while he vented about Benny. He had gone to HQ trying to get Kelly a commendation and all he'd done was wind up chief Hatcher, who already had it in for Boden.

Gabby stood behind the bar. She served beer after beer. Otis was cleaning glasses. Gabby looked up every time the door opened. She absentmindedly rubbed at the scar forming on her arm. "Hey is that sore?" Herrmann asked worriedly

"What? This? Oh, No" she smiled

"Good" he smiled. She nodded and leaned over to reach an empty glass. She looked up as the door opened. Still not Shay. Gabby sighed, she didn't realise how much she was attached to Shay. She had never felt so in love in her life. Just the thought of Shay saw a smile spread across her face. She looked up as Boden walked in "Chief" she smiled. She got him a beer. He thanked her and sat with Capp. Gabby looked at her phone, the photo of her and Shay that was her screen saver. She sighed contentedly. Shay appeared over the bar.

"Hey!" Gabby said

"Hi" Shay grinned "it took a bit longer than anticipated to drag grumpy out" she laughed and signalled to Kelly who sat miserably at a table.

"Is he Ok?" Gabby queried

"He's just sulking. As per" Shay nodded "I'll give him a beer and he will be fine"

Gabby handed her two bottles. Shay slipped through the crowd to Kelly. Kelly gruffly thanked her. Gabby stifled a laugh as Shay rolled her eyes. Shay walked back over to the bar once Erin arrived stood talking to Gabby. They both laughed and joked. Gabby smiled as Shay held her hand for a Brit moment. "They look happy" Cruz smiled, watching them. "They both deserve it" Casey nodded "and it's nice to have a good things going on"

"Cheers to that" Cruz smiled. The glass clinked. Gabby yawned. Shay threw a napkin at her "I'm. It that boring am I"

"Always" Gabby joked

"Excuse me!" Shay gasped, mocking horror

"Sh you know I love hearing you talk"

"You're cute when your tired" Shay winked as Gabby yawned again "well you look cuter when your in my bed when you're tired but y'know"

"I'm just cute all the time" Gabby smiled

"Don't flatter yourself" Shay laughed, leaning over the bar to kiss her. They both smiled. Their roads to happiness hadn't been easy and finding each other had certainly had its ups and downs, it's heartbreaking moments and its gut wrenching times, yet here they were, happy, healthy and in love. They had found their person, the one, and it had been worth the wait. They were in love, and it was beautiful. They broke apart "I love you" they said in unison, their foreheads touching and their fingers entwined. They both giggled. Casey was right. They did deserve it
