Things never go as planned as Matt and Gabriela soon figure out. It was a few days before Matt's birthday. He was at shift when they get a call that could change life of Matt and Gabriela as the know it. The call was supposed to be a simple house fire that should be quick and easy but that was not the case. This house fire left Matt fighting for his life after he saved a baby from the house.

At the scene, Matt was unconscious so his fellow firefighters had to load him in the ambulance. Kelly rode a long so he saw firsthand how bad Matt was. It was not even two minutes Matt started having a seizure. Kelly and Leslie felt like they were going to lose Matt before they could get him help. When the seizure stopped Matt flat lined. Leslie managed to bring Matt back but she was not sure for how long.

Finally they arrived at the hospital and one of the nurse took Matt to first trauma room available. Kelly knew that Matt was in pretty bad shape, he did not need a doctor to tell him that.

Leslie sadly looked at her roommate and said, "You know that we have to tell Gabriela."

Kelly looked down at the floor and quietly said, "I know but with Gabriela being twenty-six weeks pregnant I don't want her to be stress out. Your right though she has the right to know if her husband has been hurt. But the question is who is going to break the news to her."

Leslie took a deep breath and said, "I will do it. She is my best friend." She took her phone out of her pocket and dialed Gabriela's number. Gabriela picked up on the second ring, "Hey girl, how is shift? Is Matt being a pain again?"

Leslie took a deep breath and slowly said, "Gabriela there has been an accident. It is Matt. He had to be taking to the hospital."

Gabriela was starting to panic. She asked, "Tell me Matt is okay."

Leslie automatically handed it to Kelly before she broke down while she was on the phone. Kelly looked at Leslie and then back down at the floor and said, "Gabriela, just come to the hospital. Matt needs you."

Gabriela did not need any more explanation. She hung up the phone and called her brother. He picked up on the first ring, "Hey sis, what is going on?"

Gabriela did not waste any time by saying, "Antonio you need to take me the hospital. It is Matt. He has been hurt."

Antonio was already in the car so he said, "I will be right there. Be outside waiting for me."

Not even two minutes later Antonio was taking Gabriela to the hospital. When she got there she ran in to the emergency room and saw all of house fifty-one. Leslie ran up to her and Gabriela started crying.

She looked at Chief Boden and asked, "Any word about Matt yet?"

Chief Boden shook his head and said, "Not yet, but it should not be long though."

Just as Chief Boden said that Doctor Will Halstead was walking towards them. He looked at them and said, "I am taking it you are all here for Matt?"

Everyone nodded their head yes. Gabriela looked directly at Will and asked, "How is he?"

Doctor Halstead closed his eyes and opened them again and begin to explain, "Okay, so first off, Matt only has about a thirty percent chance of living right now because he has asubdural hemorrhage that is being taking care of right now, but he is not out of the woods yet. He flat lined a minute after he got here as well as flat lined before he arrived. After he get out of surgery we will put him in a drug induced coma so that way his brain swelling can go down. We will not know if there is any brain damage until wakes up.

Also when the beam fell on him it manage to break his shoulder blade and also right now he is paralyzed from the waist down. Now I am not saying that it is permeant but right now he cannot feel anything down there as we speak."

Gabriela broke down from hearing all that is wrong with him. She ran toward the exit. Antonio ran after her and grabbed her by the arm and turned her towards him so she was looking at him and he said, "Hey, I know that you are upset because Matt is hurt, but you have to be strong for him right now."

Gabriela turned away from her brother and said, "Antonio, what if Matt is stuck in a wheelchair forever. He will not be able to play with our children the way he will want to. What if he does not survived he will not be able to see our children hit all of their milestones. I will be a single parent than."

Antonio rolled his eyes because he knew that his sister was an over thinker. He looked at his sister and said, "Gabriela Maria Dawson, Matt will survive this. He has got through tougher things before you have to stay positive for Matt. Now calm down because all of this stress is not good for the triplets."

Gabriela looked at her brother and nodded her head and said, "Yeah I guess you are right, Matt needs me and I all I can do is think of the worst case scenario."

Antonio looked at his sister and asked, "Hey, do you need me to call anyone to let them know?"

Gabriela almost forgot and said, "Crap, Christie and Mark does not know about Matt yet." She gave her phone to her brother and said, "Yeah, Matt's older sister and his twin brother needs to know what is going on."

As she was coming back in after giving her brother her phone so he could call matt's sister and brother Doctor Rhodes was coming from the operating rooms. He looked at Gabriela and said, "We put a tube to drain the blood from Matt's brain. The next forty-eight hours are critical right now. As Doctor Halstead explained Matt is in a drug induced coma right now. We were also able to fix his collar bone also."

Gabriela took a deep breath and said, "Can I see him please?"

Doctor Rhodes nodded and said, "Yeah you can, follow me and I will show you his room. I do have to warn you though, when you go in don't be shock when you see him on a ventilator though. During surgery he flat lined again so we inserted an endotracheal tube and then hooked him up to a ventilator. He also has all kinds of wire come from every part of his body right now."

Doctor Rhodes left Gabriela at the door to Matt's hospital room. Gabriela took a deep breath and slowly opened the door. Even though Doctor Rhodes warned her it did little to ease what she saw when she walked in the room.

Matt was laying in the hospital bed with a breathing tube in his mouth. He has a tube coming from his head to drain the blood from his brain. He was hooked up to a feeding tube. He also had an IV coming from his arm. He had a bandage that was covering his collarbone.

Gabriela walked over to Matt and sat down and grabbed his hand and even though he was unconscious that did not stop her from saying, "Baby, I need you to get better and fast. I was going to wait until your birthday but that I think that even though you probably can't hear me but I just want to let you know that you are going to have a wish come true. So you need to get better."
