A\N: I've decided to write a chapter per episode for this story. Each chapter will be based on its corresponding episode; I might need to change around some things to fit the needs of my story though and that's where it gets slightly AU. I will try my best to keep it as close to the show as possible for this chapter my apologizes if the information on what happens at an OBGYN is incorrect. I am not a parent so I get my information from parenting websites and my wonderful friends on Twitter.

Warnings: None


Chapter 3

Gabby rushed out of the ambulance and her heart didn't stop until she saw that Matt was alive. "Matt!" She called as she saw him, unaware of the chaos that surrounded her, only worrying about him.

"I'm fine Gab's," He assured her, "Mouch is hurt pretty badly," He said pointing over to where Brett, the new EMT was already attending to him.

"Right," She snapped back into her work and rushed over to where the other paramedic was working.

She continued to work without any real hassle until they arrived at the hospital where both firehouses were waiting and tension was filling the air. Seeing Matt Gabby approached him and immediately started crying.

"Hey, hey," He pulled her into him and rubbed soothing circles along her back, "Talk to me."

She looked up at him, "I don't know," She whipped tears away from her eyes, "I've had rough shifts before this one just… I think it reminded me of the explosion or maybe my hormones are acting up."

Matt placed a gentle kiss on her lips while his hand traveled down to the slight bump in her stomach, "I'm glad you're both safe," He whispered once their lips parted.

"Matt…." Gabby drew out as her facial features became serious. She knew that her working would be a problem now but she didn't want to talk about it now.

"I'm always going to worry about you babe, you carrying our child only made it twice as much."

At the mention of their unborn child Gabby softly smiled, "I'm always worried about you but now the thought of our baby growing up without a father makes it more," She responded honestly.

"We both have to be extra careful now."

"Right," She agreed before giving him another kiss before tuning to go back to the ambulance bay where she was meeting Brett.


One day after the fire trucks collided with each other Matt and Gabby walked into the doctor's office; they has their first appointment with the OBGYN. Waiting fifteen minutes in the waiting area a nurse called Gabby's name and led them into an examination room, there she weighed Gabby and measured the length of her stomach. She took her pulse and blood pressure and said, "The doctor will be with you shortly," She said as she left the room and closed the door.

Just a few minutes later the door re-opened and an older woman with greying hair walked in, "Ah, Ms. Dawson," She grinned.

"Dr. Corata this is my fiancé Matt Casey," She introduced the two.

"Ah," She smiled as she shook his hand, "She mentioned you at the first appointment glad to finally put a name to the face." She took a seat in a chair and faced the couple, "So how are you feeling? Any nausea, are you feeling hungry more often? Mood swings?"

"All of them, I started getting nauseous in the morning and at night last week."

Dr. Corata began to take notes on her chart, "Now I have to ask you some questions about your work. I have the levels of your blood pressure and pulse and I'm a little worried.

"Why?" Matt immediately asked, "Is something wrong with our baby?"

"No, no, She assured him, "I'm just looking ahead to the future. I want to make sure your baby isn't in any danger, now Ms. Dawson have to discussed your pregnancy with your boss?"

"Yes, we told him on our last shift. He looked into things and as long as I take it easy and don't go on any rough calls I should be okay. Although he and Matt both want me to stop working at the beginning of my 2nd trimester.

"Well I can't say that isn't a good idea. Now lets see if we can get a clear picture of your baby," She turned on the machine, as it loaded she stood and retrieved some gel from a cupboard and came back to her chair, "This might be a little cold," She warned as she lifted up Gabby's t-shirt with one hand and applied some gel with the other. Getting the wand from its charging station she moved it over Gabby's abdomen and tried to see if she could get a clear picture on the screen. Suddenly a heartbeat filled the room and a small but clear picture appeared on the ultrasound monitor.

"Here," Dr. Corata used a pointer, "This is your baby, and by the sound of the heartbeat I'd say it's doing very well."

Tears welling up in her eyes Gabby managed to smile, "That's our baby Matt."

"I know," Matt, who also had tears in his eyes reached for her hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it.

"I'll go an get you copies of the picture," She placed the wand down and left the room. She came back minutes later carrying an envelope on her clipboard. Setting the clipboard down she got a wet cloth a whipped the gel off Gabby's stomach.

"You can make another appointment at the front desk" She told her as she handed over the envelope with the ultrasound pictures.

"Thank you," Gabby said accepting the envelope.


Gabby was in the kitchen when she heard a knock on the door of her and Matt's apartment. Looking at Matt who was sitting beside her she walked to open it. She had invited Antonio and her parents over for lunch so they could see their new place, as they had only moved in a week before the explosion they hadn't really had anytime to have people over. Now though they figured they needed to tell them about the pregnancy and having them over would be the perfect opportunity to dos so.

"Hey," Gabby greeted her older brother.

"Hey," He responded back pulling her into a hug, "Nice place." He commented looking around. "Hey man," He and Matt shared a quick hug

"How're you doing Antonio?" Gabby asked.

"I'm okay," He lied, "It's hard but I'm keeping busy."

"Yeah, I know," She rolled her eyes, "You've been getting drunk most nights you're off. That's not like you Antonio."

"I'm handling it."

She huffed and was about to respond when the sound of the door knocking interrupted her, "That's probably Mom and Dad," She walked back towards the front door and opened it to see her parents standing there.

"Mom, Dad," She smiled as she hugged each of them. "I'm so glad you could come."

Her parents, Esmerelda and Carlos both smiled at their daughter. "Its good to see you Gabby," Esmerelda walked further into the apartment.

"Lunch is almost ready but in the meantime I can show you around," She offered.

"Sure that would be lovely," Esmerelda smiled.

"Great, Dad, Antonio you want to come too?"

"Sorry sweetheart I know your mother tries to involve me but I'm just not interested in home decor," Carlos apologized kissing his daughter's cheek.

"Same," Antonio responded.

"Okay, you can just hang out in the living room with Matt."

"Sure," Matt tried to hide the nervousness on his voice. He had just started to get used to being alone with Antonio, and if Antonio was over protective of her then he wasn't sure what Carlos, her father was.

He had known him for a little under a year but he still was nervous every time and he was now even more nervous as he knew what they'd be telling them in a little while.

Seeing her fiancée nervous Gabby walked slowly by him and whispered, "You'll be fine."

Matt tried his best to believe her.

"So Matt, I hear you and my daughter are engaged,"

"Yes Sir. And I apologize for not asking you the first time I tried to and then…" He trailed off not knowing how to fourm the evens into words.

"No problem Son," He waved off the concern, "I know you're good to her, that's all I want. Once Antonio gave you an approval I know you had to be the one. He never talked so highly of any of his sister's boyfriends as he did for you."

This made Matt feel a lot better, knowing that both Antonio and Carlos approved and liked him.

"Dad," Antonio shook his head, "Matt doesn't need an ego boost."

"Right now I wouldn't mind one," Matt tried to lighten the mood.

"Well relax son. There's nothing to worry about."

"So…" Esmerelda closed the door to the bedroom and looked at her daughter, "How many weeks pregnant are you?"

"What? Mom!" Gabby exclaimed, then realized her mother wouldn't give it up she allowed herself to smile, "Ten weeks. How did you know?"

"Oh I'm going to have another grandchild," She pulled her into a hug, "And to answer your question you're glowing and I remember you telling me you'd been sick this morning when we talked on the phone."

"Here's the ultrasound picture," Gabby picked up a framed photo on the bedside table and showed it to her.

"Oh," She exclaimed tears in her eyes. "It's beautiful. Now tell me the truth what do you hope it is?"

"A girl. I wouldn't be upset if it was a boy and all I want is a healthy, happy baby but I don't know there's a part of me that want's a little girl."

"Matt knows about the baby?"

"Yeah I told him last week. He's thrilled about it."

"You have a great man Gabriela. He loves you very much and together you are going to make great parents."

"Thanks Mom."

"You're welcome, now we better get back so you can tell your father and brother."

"Right," Gabby opened the door and began walking into the living room, she walked towards the couch and sat on Matt's lap, "Before we eat lunch Matt and I have something to tell you." She took a deep breath and then said, "We're engaged and we're pregnant."

Carlos stood up and walked towards his daughter, "Congratulations sweetie,"

"Thanks Dad," She stood up and hugged him.

Carlos clapped Matt on the shoulder, "Congratulations."

"Thanks Carlos."

After taking awhile to adjust the information Antonio stood up a smile on his face, "I'm happy for you," He hugged his sister. Then turning to Matt he said, "Being a father is the best thing in the world. It really is."

"Yeah," Matt nodded his head.

The five of them talked until lunch was ready and then they went into the kitchen to eat. Gabby had made pasta salad and chicken potpie. The lunch went over fairly well and by the end of it Matt was beginning to feel more relaxed.

He was cleaning the kitchen when Gabby returned after seeing her family out, "You know they love you right?"

"Yeah," Matt cleared off the dishes and began loading them into the dishwasher.

"Yeah and I can't blame them," She kissed him and took his hands.

Matt returned the kiss, "You go lie down and I'll finish cleaning up."

"Matt…."

"No. You cooked so let me clean-up."

"Okay when you put it like that," She admitted she was very tired and wouldn't mind a little nap before the event at Molly's.

"Good," He kissed her one last time and watched her exit the room.


"Matt, Gabby, Chief Boden wants to see you in his office," Mills walked into the common room before walking back out.

"Thanks Mills," Gabby stood up from the table and along with Matt they walked into Chief Boden's office.

"Ah, Matt, Gabby, He saw them approaching through the open door, "Come in." They walked in and Gabby closed the door.

"I think I have a solution to what we talked about before, now Mills has told me I could discuss this with you; du to a medical condition that ahs raised he will no longer be able to be a member on Squad but while talking to him I thought that maybe h could become a paramedic along with you and Brett Gabby. That way you won't have to do any heavy lifting and you can train Mills on being PIC. So when you go on Maturity Leave it won't be that big of a transition.

"Sounds like a good plan Chief. I can always drive when I get to big to do much else and I'll feel better knowing I won't be endangering the lives of the victims."

"Good than it's settled," He smiled, "As of next shift we'll have three Paramedics."

"Now Matt I wanted to discuss with you the possibility of getting a candidate."

"Sure."

"His names Jacob McPherson and he finished in the top half of his academy class. I'll make some calls and he should be able to start next shift."
