A\N:I was blown away by how many reviews and reads the first chapter of this story got and would love to see that again for the second the first chapter was inspired by and based on parts in 301 "Always" chapter 2 is going to be bases on 302 "Wow Me". The general idea of the chapter is mostly the same as on the show the only difference being the circumstances that are in my story and not on the show.

Chapter 2

Gabby watched as Matt worked on the workbench set up in the living room. He was making new floorboards for the room and he was sawing them down to make sure they were smooth.

Glancing up he saw Gabby smiling at him, her hand resting over her stomach, "Like what you see?" He asked with a light smirk.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I guess."

He smiled and was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door, "That's probably Kelly." He put down what he was working on and went for the door.

"Babe," Gabby stretched out her hand and took his arm, "Are we going to tell him about the baby?"

Matt kissed her on the lips, when they parted he whispered "Your call."

Gabby nodded her head and watched as Matt went to the door and opened it, sure enough it was Kelly. He followed Matt into the apartment.

"Hey guys, I really appreciate this," He said, "I promise I won't be here long."

"No problem," Matt patted him on the shoulder, "Anything you need."

"Yeah," Gabby echoed, "Just you know in about seven months they'll be a baby living here too."

This caused Severide's head to snap up, "A baby? You're pregnant?"

"Yeah," Gabby replied, "But we'll keep the baby in our room for the first few months; so don't let that make you move out."

"Yeah…no I…" He couldn't find the right words to say; luckily Matt tapped his shoulder and led him into the extra bedroom.

With Severide settling in Matt returned back into the main room where Gabby was about to go to the fire academy to tell the fire chief she would not be becoming a fire fighter anymore.

"I'll see you later," She kissed him lightly on the lips.

"Yeah," Matt responded and watched her leave. He still was processing that she was pregnant and that he'd be a father. It was something he'd wanted for a long time but now that it was a reality he was scared.

"Hey man," Severide walked into the room snapping him out of his thoughts, "You need any help?"

"If you want," Matt responded.

Severide nodded his head and began working. There was silence between them before he spoke up, "So Dawson's pregnant?"

"Yeah."

"Shay would have been so happy," He allowed a tear to roll down his cheek as he thought of his best friend.

"Yeah she would have," Matt, agreed, "You doing okay" He took the opportunity to ask.

"Yeah I'm fine," He was clearly lying but he stood up anyways, "I'm going to go to District 21 to see Lindsay. You want to come and talk to Antonio?" He asked.

"No, no I'm good," Matt shook his head, "I'll wait until I'm with Gabby."

Kelly chuckled and walked out of the apartment.

The next day arrived quickly and soon Gabby and Matt found themselves standing outside Chief Boden's office. He was talking to Severide so they waited outside but once Severide came out of the office Matt knocked on the open door.

Chief Boden looked briefly up, "Ah Lieutenant. Casey, Gabriela what can I do for you?"

"We'd like to tell you something," Gabby stepped nervously into the office. She knew she needed to tell her boos that she wouldn't be becoming a fire fighter, and Matt suggested it would be the perfect time to tell him they were expecting a baby. She still wasn't sure she wanted him to know so early in the pregnancy but she knew the risks of first trimester miscarriages related to over-stress.

Chief Boden stopped what he was doing and looked at both, "You have my full attention."

Gabby nodded and shut the door, she looked at Matt who only gave her a short nod, "I'm….we're pregnant," She began, "So I'm not going to become a fire fighter but I'd like to stay on as a paramedic here at least for awhile."

"Well first off congratulations," He stood up and moved out from behind his desk to shake both of their hands, "Second you're more then welcome to stay on her Gabriela but I think you should limit the calls you go on. Or at least limit the amount of physical lifting you do."

"Okay," Gabby didn't agree but knew her chief was right anyway. She needed to think about what was best for her baby.

"Good," Chief Boden walked back to his desk and sat down, a sign that the converstation was over and they could leave.

"Well that wasn't so bad," Gabby took a deep breath as she and Matt stepped out of the office and closed the door, "Now we tell everyone else?"

"I just wanted to tell Chief Boden right away so you could be kept out of danger, it's your call when you want to tell everyone else."

"Lets wait a bit," She said.

"Whatever you want. How about we go out tomorrow night maybe have restaurant on Navy Pier? It's supposed to be one of the last warm nights for a while. Plus I think we both deserve a quiet relaxing night out.

Gabby looked at him and. "Yeah I'd like that," She finally said kissing him on the lips, "Sounds good."

"You sure you're okay for today" Matt asked her out of the blue.

"Yeah Matt I'm fine," She responded and then began walking down the hallway.

"This was a good idea," Gabby said, they had just finished dinner at a nearby restaurant and now were walking together along the beach.

"Yeah," Matt's voice was merely over a whisper as he led her to a relatively quiet corner of the beach, clearing his throat he turned to look at her, "I wanted to do this right, and now is the perfect time." Pulling out the engagement ring box he got down on one knee, "Gabby will you marry me?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She responded tears running down her face.

Slipping the ring on her finger he pulled her into a kiss, both completely oblivious to the clapping going on around them.

"Lets go home," Matt whispered in her ear, sending shivers down her body.

Gabby nodded her head, "I couldn't agree more."

When they got to the house they walked into their bedroom and shut the door.

"You're so beautiful," Mat turned to her and gently pushed her onto the bed, crawling over her he hovered and planted kisses on her lips and shoulders.

"Matt," She moaned out his name and reached up to take off his t-shirt.

Biting his lip, embarrassed, as he didn't know he sheepishly asked, "Is it safe for the baby?"

"The baby can't get hurt, it's perfectly safe," She assured him.

"Good," Matt took her t-shirt off in one motion.

The next morning Gabby found herself alone in bed, looking at her ring she smiled to herself as memories of the previous night came flooding back to her. "I can't wait to tell Shay," She whispered to herself. Then she remembered, Shay had died, her best friend had died. Tears welling in her eyes she began to cry.

"Gabby," Matt walked into the room carrying a tray of food, "Baby what's wrong?" He set it down and climbed onto the bed.

"I….it's just…..this….wave of it hit me." She cried and looked away from him.

"Hey, hey," He reached out for her chin causing her to look at him again, "Tell me what's going on alright? I love you and I want to help. What'd you think this was for?" He touched the engagement ring shinning on her finger.

"The first thing I thought about this morning was how I wanted to tell Shay about the engagement."

Matt moved to sit beside her and wrapped an arm around her, "She helped me pick out the ring. She was so happy for us. And I know she'd be thrilled we'd be bringing a baby into this world too."

Still crying Gabby placed her head on Matt's shoulder and moved in closet to him. Allowing him to comfort her.
