Gabby's POV
My heart broke into thousand little pieces as Hallie's words rang through my head." He doesn't remember?" My voice shallow barely an echo but loud enough for Hallie to hear.
"He remembers the explosion and you being trapped under the rubble."
"And then?" My voice cracking my eyes watering.
"He doesn't remember sleeping with you." Hallie almost snapped her response." I'm sure that's what your getting at."
"You didn't tell him either?" I ask pulling myself up to a seated position." I need to see him." I say trying to get up but the room spins again.
"Gabby!" Hallie's are holding me up when my vision focuses again." You need to rest."
I don't fight against her I just sit back down on the bed placing the icepack back to my pounding head." So what did you come here for?" I snap slightly ." Just to rub it in my face."
Hallie exhales a breath then takes a seat in the chair across from the bed." I was mad, pissed Gabby. I hated you and Matt."
"Hallie." I look over to her with sympathetic eyes." We didn't want to hurt anyone, myself or Matt."
"Well I have forgiven Matt and I'm working on forgiving you as well."
"That's great Hallie you forgave Matt for something he doesn't remember doing." I snap harshly before laying back on the bed.
"I think this is our second chance."
I look at Hallie confusion on my features." Second chance?"
" Yeah." Hallie nods her head getting to her feet." I think Matt not remembering is a sign that he regrets what happened."
"Hallie, Matt and I ." I paused looking for the right words." We may not have done things right but we are not a mistake."
"You owe me this Gabby." Hallie stands next to the bed tears filling her eyes a pleading in her voice." When I thought I lost him." Her voice cracked tears leaking down her cheeks now.
I watched her sincere pain of losing Matt, and I thought about the fact of Matt never remembering being with me. This broke my heart, Hallie broke my heart." I won't stand in your way." I whisper." Your right it was a mistake one that Matt can't remember."
"You are willing to forget it all?"
"I won't lie to him Hallie, he is still my friend." I say boldly." He's my friend , I won't lie if he remembers or asks me, but I won't volunterily tell him." I look up meeting her eyes." That's all I will do for you."
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me." I snap." I'm doing this for him not you. If your who he wants and remembers then I won't stand in your way."
"Fair enough." Hallie nods and quickly turns leaving the room.
Before I could even process in my head what happened Shay storms back in the room." Are you nuts?" She raises her voice.
"Ugh." I lay may head back on the pillow." Don't shout my head hurts."
"Don't change the subject, how could you agree to that?"
I snap my head up to look at her." You heard us?"
Shay nods her head." I did, all of it. Are you crazy? Your just going to let her win?"
"Matt's not a competition." I practically yell back as my tears spill." He doesn't remember Maybe she's right he can't remember cause he's choosing not too."
"Your joking right?" Shay stomps her foot putting her hands on her hips." Let me ask you when did you two have sex last?"
"What does that matter." I start to say but Shay cuts me off.
"Just answer the question."
"Two nights ago before last shift." I whisper as she calms her stance taking a seat on my bed.
"You can't tell me that the kiss the other day and you two sleeping together was just a mistake. I don't buy it."
"He doesn't remember." I whisper.
"So you and Hallie are just going to lie and forget the truth." Shay places her hand on my knee just as there is a lite tap on the door.
"Ms. Dawson." Dr. Nelson walks back into the room." I have your results from the test."
"Wow that was quick." I exhale my breath I was holding for I hadn't even thought about the possibilities." Will I be getting that MRI?"
"No I'm afraid not Ms. Dawson." The doc walks to opposite side of the bed from where Shay sat." Congrats! You are pregnant."
I look over to Shay taking her hand in mine." Wow." I whisper placing my free hand over my stomach as my tears spill. I feeling of complete warmth filling me from head to toe of pure happiness.
"Gabby." Shay squeezes my hand getting my attention." This changes everything?"
"It changes nothing." I demand back." Your my best friend and I need you now more then ever. We will be here for me?"
Shay smiles widely throwing her arms around my next." Always." She whispers in my ear.
Casey's POV
I lay in the hospital bed Hallie holding my hand a look of worry in her eye." I'm fine Hallie." I whisper my voice still raspy.
"I know." She places a kiss on my cheek." You really scared me." She says but all I can see in my mind is Jay Halstead hugging Gabby at the hospital explosion.
"Why don't you go home get some rest." I insist so she can't argue." I'm fine please get some rest." I keep going before she could speak.
She nods her head as a yawn escapes her lips." Fine but I'll be back first thing in the morning." She leans down kissing my lip at that moment my mind flickers to Jay kissing Gabby, jealousy coursing through my body.
"I love you." Hallie whispers as she pulls back from my lips.
"I know." I run my thumb across her cheek." Me too." I tell her before she gives me a funny look but then walks out the door. I can't help but wonder why I feel like some things off.
My mind goes back to Gabby as I ring the bell for my nurse." Yes Mr. Casey." The short red head appeared minutes later.
"I was wondering if you had any info on Gabriela Dawson. She was brought in with me earlier?" I hadn't asked Hallie or Kelly for that matter but they didn't speak her name all night either.
"I'll check." She smiles stepping out of my room.
I don't understand why the image of Gabby and Jay remain on my brain and why this feeling of jealousy won't leave my body. I ponder these thoughts until my nurse returns into my room." Ms. Dawson was treated for a concussion and released an hour ago."
"Thank you." I call out to the nurse before she smiles quickly then turns to leave.
Gabby left the hospital without coming to see me. Is she mad at me? Did something happen that I don't know? We are friends great friends. I think as I gingerly reach for my hospital phone next to my bed and dial her cell.
The phone rings a few times before her voicemail picks up." Hi you have reached Gabby, I'm busy so you know what to do." Her voice soothing, brings a smile to my face. I wait leave a message but another recording comes on saying 'mailbox is full'. I let out a sigh before hanging up the phone. Thoughts of Gabby at home Jay taking care of her leaves an aching in my chest. I close my eyes to ease the pounding in my head, the vision of Gabby's soft lips kissing mine puts me to sleep. What a great dream.
