Gabby's POV
I pour myself a cup of coffee into a travel mug, with a slice of toast in my mouth as a juggle putting on my EMT vest for work with one hand. That's when I heard by bedroom door creak open and a sleepy Matt appears." Did I wake you?" I say sympathetic as I look over his toss led bed head hair. He's was more gorgeous then ever.
"You did." Matt let's out a yawn before wrapping his arm around my neck kissing my forehead." The bed was cold without you." He winks before moving to the coffee pot.
"Aww do you miss me already?" I tease placing my hand over my chest.
"Hey watch it." Matt chuckles pointing his finger at me.
I walk over to where Matt is standing wrapping my arms around his waist from behind." Well I miss you already." I whisper in a more serious tone.
"I'm not going anywhere again , I promise." Matt says turning around lifting me on the kitchen counter so we are eye level.
"Good." I smile wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him closer." Cause tomorrow your not getting out of bed all day."
"Is that right." Matt chuckles." I'm barely moved in and your already bossing me around."
"Yup." I nod my head placing a peck on his lips." But you'll love me for it." I say and instantly regret my words for they rolled off my tongue not thinking first.
"I do you know." Matt places his fingers on my chin bringing my eyes back to his." I love you, think I always have in a way."
"You don't have to say it just to make me feel better." I say shaking my head trying to look away.
"Hey, hey." Matt moves his face to meet my eyes again." I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it."
My phone buzzes on the counter next to my work bag interrupting our conversation." Damn I'm going to be late." I say jumping off the counter after looking at the clock." I made you an compete." I tell him pointing to the plate sitting on the stove as I moved to grab my stuff." You still coming by 51 today?" I ask him putting my bag over my shoulder.
"Yeah." Matt nods moving to grab the plate from the stove not looking over to me.
"Hey." I move back around the counter leaning up kissing Matt's lips." I love you too." I tell him finishing our interrupted convo .
Matt smiles down at me pecking my lips one more time." You better." He teases." And thanks for the omlete baby."
"Oh that does come for free." I tease tapping his shoulder." I for one truly have a broken kitchen cabinent." I point to the one that needs fixing.
"Wow." Matt laughs shaking his head." I feel so used.
"Oh I am using you." I chuckle brushing my lips against his." For the sex, which is phenomenal by the way."
Matt chuckles pressing his lips firmly to mine." You better get going before I make you even later." He says then lightly taps my butt.
"I'm going, I'm going." I laugh walking away." I'll see you later."
"See you later babe." Matt calls out just before I close the door walking out of my apartment.
I walk into work a short time later already finding Shay in the back of the ambo." So." I chuckle leaning against the open door getting her attention as I take a sip of my coffee." How's that stomach bug you got?"
Shay starts fake coughing." Oh it was horrible." She lies terribly.
I try to hold back my laughter as she jumps out of the ambo to stand in front of me." You missed my first appointment." I playfully shove her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She grins widely." But I heard who my replacement was." She playfully shoves my shoulder back.
"Oh you did, did you?" I smile no longer being able to contain it as I throw my arms around her neck to hug her." Thank you." I whisper before pulling away to look at her." As much as I wanted to kill you for setting me up, thank you." I continue to smile with watery eyes.
"Set you up?" Shay says sarcastically." I have no idea what your talking about."
"No but thank you." I turn serious.
"So are you good?" She whispers taking a step closer.
"Better then good." I nod smiling wider." He knows everything."
"Oh my god Dawson that's amazing." Shay shouts throwing her arms around me in a hug.
That is when I heard the heavy steps of work boots walk up behind us one of them clearing their throat. I turn around to find all of truck 81 crew standing there minus their lieutenant." So uh Dawson." Cruz spoke first." Why did you leave us?" He says in a joking tone.
"Yeah." Otis now moves to pat my shoulder." Couldn't take the heat." He chuckles." No pun intended."
"Alright I know my jokes weren't that great, but I hope we didn't scare you off?" Mouch teased as well.
"Alright, alright." Shay jumps in throwing her arm around my shoulder." Since they are all so curious we should tell them." She looks at me before address the men.
"Shay!" I try to protest but she winks and smiles before continuing.
" So you see guys I have finally gotten Dawson to bat for the other team." She teases as the guys throw their hands in the air." Dawson and I are lovers and she wanted to be close to me."
That's when Hermann walked up to me all serious." You will be missed candidate." He says before wrapping me in a bear hug." I knew it, I knew it." He pulls away shouting." Your pregnant Dawson!"
"What?" I say nervously not being able to hide it as all the guys nodded like they all discussed it already." How did you know?" I asked done hiding it now.
"Dawson you forget I have five kids." Hermann grins." I know what a pregnant belly feels like."
"Ahh." I nod.
"So?" Otis raises his brow." Who's the father?"
"Well I do know one thing Otis." I tease as he looks at me confused." It's not yours." I tap his cheek before starting to walk away.
"Oh come on." Cruz calls out as all the guys throw their hands up in the air again." Not even a clue?"
"Nope." I grin walking backwards away from them still." I'm going to keep you guessing." I say before turning away heading into the common room leaving them all pondering.
Casey's POV
I walk into the firehouse a few hours later all the trucks parked in their usual spots except ambo. Once I reach the common room all the guys are huddled around the table in a heated discussion." Hey guys." I call out for no one noticed I was there.
"Hey lieutenant." They all cheer getting up clapping my shoulder shaking my hand as well.
"All right, all right." Hermann moves into the huddle." Let's not make this into a Greek wedding." He gives me a small smile which I return with a nod.
"So what did I miss?" I ask eyeing the guys sitting back down with a pile of money in the center of the table. Just as the guys all share a look Dawson and Shay walk back into the room.
"Hey Casey." Shay says walking ahead of Dawson." How are you feeling?"
"Good, great." I say as she hugs me quick.
"It's good to see you." Gabby hugs me next giving me a knowing look to play along." What's new?"
"What's new?" Hermann mummbles under his breath." He should ask you that."
I look at the guys puzzled, playing along for I knew they knew about baby cause Gabby texted me earlier letting me know what happened." What should I ask you?" I look to her hearing Hermann's comment.
"Oh I'm." Gabby acted nervous." Yeah I'm uh pregnant." She says behind her coffee mug as she took a sip.
"Oh." Is all I respond before moving closer to the table." What's the cash for?" I ask pointing to it.
All the guys stay quiet not wanting to answer me. That's when Shay jumped in." Oh come on guys just admit your betting on who the father is." All the guys not in agreement with out saying a 's when I reach in pulling out my wallet and throwing down 100 bucks on the table.
"What's your guess?" Cruz asks as they all looked wide eyed at the money I just put out.
"My guess is that all your guesses are wrong." I tease as I point to each of them.
Gabby walks over to the table now picking up the pile of money." This money will come into good use for the nursery." She says folding it up in her hand." What do you think?" She turns to face me taking a few steps closer.
"Yes, yes it will." I spread a hug smile across my face before wrapping my arms around her bringing my lips to hers. Everyone clapped and cheered with contradictory hugs of finding out our great news. And everyone guessed right but let us keep the money.
