Cruz walked to the couch with a beer and chips,. ready for some Netflix binge watching with Otis.

''Next week this time we could be at the CFD barbeque. ''Cruz said, even though he wasn't so sure about going.

''I am not sure if I want to go yet.'' Otis admitted.

''Me neither.'' Cruz admitted as he sat down on the couch as well.

''What, why not?'' Otis asked surprised as even though he was planning on not going, he had not expected that Cruz did not want to go.

''Well, because everybody there will still see us as the house that got shot up and that is not something I want to be stared at for, or talk about the whole barbeque.''

''Oh, I thought about not going - because...I don't know, maybe even the same reason because i just don't like talking about it either.''

''I will ask tomorrow if others want to go, but I don't think anybody is eager to go.'' Cruz said and Otis nodded. They would know then if others would go and if they would then maybe they should too, but Otis knew Cruz and a good point. None of them wanted to be there only to talk about what had happened before.

Matt looked as Gabby walked in, ready to walk when she came in.

''Hey, glad to see you again today, hope your mom won't send me away again.'' She teased him as she walked in, not angry with him and they shared a kiss.

''I am sorry I didn't say anything.''

''That is fine, I know you felt lousy yesterday.'' Gabby said understanding and Matt smiled at her then, glad that she was not too mad with him. Looking back at what happened yesterday, he wished that had said something because his mother had been out of line and he knew that she had hurt Gabby's feelings. Gabby had been beside him and had been his biggest support all this time and his mom hurting her was so wrong.

''I know, but i should have said something.'' He said then as she wrapped the bathrobe around him and kissed him then.

''Really,, it is fine. As long as she won't come barging in here again and gets angry at me again.''

''Err..she did say she wanted come by again today, but I don't know how late or if she still will.''

''Oh.'' Gabby said then, not sure what to say. Sure, she was his mom and Gabby had no right saying that she was not allowed to visit him. As long as Matt did not not want her here, it was not her right. But ugh, Nancy bugged her and she just hoped that Nancy would be nicer from now on, not just for her but couldn't be good for Matt's recovery if his fiancée and his mom kept being in cahoots with each other.

''I am ready.'' Matt said then and she helped him get up, holding him as she was worried he was going to fall or anything bad would happen.

She was holding him tight as he was making a few steps.

''I can't-'' Matt panted then and she guided him back to the bed, Matt panting and having difficulties even sitting up. The door burst open again and Gabby groaned, knew Nancy Casey was walking in on her pinpoint heels.

''He shouldn't be out of bed. Was this your idea?''

''Mom, the nurse said it was fine if I walked a few steps today.'' Matt told his mom then, not happy with how she came in again and already was causing tension between them all. But then she also did not want to leave him alone anymore again because she had already done that when he was younger and she was still his mom.

Gabby helped him lay down again and both Gabby and Nancy did not look at each other, refusing to acknowledge each other's existence.

''I think I need to puke again.'' Matt said softly then, Gabby handing him the tub.

''The medication is only making him sicker!'' Nancy mumbled then.

''Well, it's stopping the arrhythmia, which would be way worse.''

''Maybe he should be off it if he feels so sick.'' Nancy argued.

''Í am right he-'' Matt said but both women seemed to have forgotten that they were sitting right by him, ready to fight again.

''No, because he needs the for the arrhythmia.''

''Well, i am his mom-''

''Stop it! I can decide for myself which medication I want to use!'' He said angry then, done with the two women fighting about him, about something that his own choice - not theirs - to make.

''Matt-''

''No, I don't need you to fighting about what I want to do with my body and my health. Seriously! It is my choice to make! And if you can't agree with each other, then please stop talking!''He said, putting his hand against the wound on his chest then that was still healing, because it was hurting now.

''See what you did!'' Nancy said to Gabby then.

''What I did, you are the one that started about the medication-''

''Because he is my son!''

''Well he is my damn fiancé!''

''That's it! You two get out now! I am trying to recover and you two are not making it easier by bickering and fighting!'' Matt shouted angry then. Immediately he felt bad about shouting at Gabby. Because his mom sort of had it coming, Gabby had been here with him all this time, but his heart was pounding, his chest was hurting and he didn't want them to shout in front of him.

It was so annoying that neither of them seemed to be able to act like grownups. He felt sick and in pain and the least thing he needed was his mom and his fiancée bickering about nothing.

''Whatever you want.'' Gabby mumbled, grabbing her bag, glancing angry at both Matt and Nancy before walking out.

''And you, get out as well!'' Matt said even angrier at his mom. ''Look what you did again!''

''Matt-''

''Get out!''

Finally his mom left as well, Matt laying down again, his heart pounding as the door slammed close. So angry with both of them and himself.

''Going back to shift tomorrow.'' Jimmy said as he was folding his uniform and putting it in his back.

''Glad to hear that, but are you sure yu are ready?''

''I mean, I think so. Maybe it is good to go back now before I am make it bigger than it really is and get even more nervous.''

''That sounds sensible.'' Danny nodded.

''Have you even felt like this after a shift?''

''I mean – yeah, not as bad as you were feeling because nothing ever happened to my firehouse to extent of what happened to yours, but we had a really bad all before, that made me take a couple of shifts off from my holidays. Just because I felt like it was not the job I sighed up, right as you felt.''

''What happened?'' Jimmy asked curious.''

''Fire at a daycare, so many kids didn't make it. It was bad.'' Danny shook his head, not really wanting to talk about it, worried it would give his brother a even worse feeling.

''Shit.''

''Yeah, but I know what it feels like, I just also know that being a fireman or an EMT has always been your dream and I am so glad you are not going to give it up now.'' Danny said then. ''I am sure you are going to feel a lot better after having a good shift tomorrow, as I am sure you are going to have.

''Thanks.''

''That's what we are brothers for, right?'' Danny nodded.

''True.''

''And for this.'' Danny said then, suddenly pulling Jimmy's head between his elbow and his side and pushing his knuckles down on Jimmy's head, ruffling through his hair harshly.

''Danny! Stop it!'' Jimmy yelled out, trying to push his older brother away, both of them laughing then.
