Chapter 4

Gabby sat on the bed and rubbed the skin around her engagement ring. She figured it was hurting her due to the swelling of her finger that had occurred due to her being pregnant, on another note she had also noticed a roundness of her abdomen that would very soon be visible through her clothes.

Leaning against the doorframe of their bedroom Matt said, "We haven't been engaged even two weeks and you're already taking off you're ring?" She shook his finger at her playfully.

"Yeah, figured I'd dump you," She replied as she continued to try and take the ring off.

Seeing she was in some discomfort Matt set the take-out menus down and climbed onto the bed, "Here," He held her hand and twisted the ring, before finally taking it off and handing it to her.

"Thanks."

"Was it hurting you?"

"Honestly yeah? It was digging into my skin; I'm going to get it resized. Everything's starting to swell up because I'm pregnant."

"And you're even more beautiful because of it," He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed her swollen finger, "Now what do you and the baby want for dinner? Japanese or Greek?"

"Thai."

In response he kissed her deeply, resting one hand on her back and slipping the other one under her t-shirt and resting it on her stomach.

Moaning inside his mouth Gabby ran her hands through his hair, "Babe," She said resting her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah?"

"Can we-uh can we order the food now? I'm hungry."

When Matt looked at her she was biting her lip and her head was lowered, something that turned him on even more, kissing her one last time he said, "Anything you want."

"Thanks," She took his hand and together they walked out of the bedroom.

It was the beginning of the next shift and the first day that there would be three paramedics on Ambulance 61. "So this is cool," Sylvie Brett casually commented, "I've never had two partners before?"

Both Mills and Dawson's heads snapped up and stared at her.

"I mean uh- in an ambulance. No…."

"Stop sweetie," Gabby reached out and touched her knee.

"Right," She blushed out of embarrassment and continued to work on re-stocking the ambulance,

A young man with light brown hair walked into the firehouse, he had a duffel bag slung over his shoulder and an air of confidence about him. At further glance though it was easy to spot that it was all an act.

"I'm looking for a Lt. Casey." He walked towards Ambulance 61

"Ah," Mills jumped down, "You must be the new candidate."

"Yeah. Jacob Peterson."

"Peter Mills, I'm on-" He was about to say Squad only to retrace his steps and say, "I'm one of the paramedics."

"I've never heard of a house having three paramedics," He commented.

"Yeah well we're different," Mills didn't want to explain the situation to him, instead he opened the common room door and said, "Lt. Casey this is your new candidate."

"Ah," Matt put his book down and stood up. "Your here welcome. First order for the day candidate is you can start by making us breakfast."

"Yes Sir."

Mills turned and began walking down the hall and towards the apparatus floor when he saw a man talking to Brett. He snuck back over to the ambulance and looked at Dawson, silently asking for answers.

"Her ex-husband," She whispered.

Before anymore could be said about the matter the call bells rang and everyone jumped into action.

Most of firehouse 51 were in the common room when they got a call for a fire; it seemed like any other fire until the first injured came out and told Sylvie Brett there were more wounded inside.

Gabby radioed it in and soon the firefighters began bringing more wounded, all woman out for them to treat. They soon concluded that the woman must have been working in a sweatshop.

"Here put pressure on this okay," Gabby knelt next to a young girl and observed her wounds, "More ambulances should be here soon." The young woman only nodded her head.

"No! No!" Sylvie's frantic voice got her standing up straight. She went to her side and saw the first victim they got out was dead. Sylvie however didn't want to let her go.

"Come on! There's more here that need to be treated!" Mills snapped at her.

Although Gabby could see she was distraught she knew Mills was right, reminding herself to talk to her later she said, "He's right."

By the end of shift the Truck guys had pranked the Candidate three times and there had only been two calls, the now confirmed sweatshop and an accident in a junkyard.

Brett was sitting on the bench in front of her locker when Gabby approached her, "Hey."

Sylvie looked up, "Hi. If this is about what happened I-"

Gabby cut her off. "I know its hard," She sympathized, "Some cases and victims you want to do everything you can to save. But as much as we want to we can't save them all."

"I know." She nodded, "I've done triage before its just she got to me and…."

"Hey, no need to explain," She lightly smiled, "

She scratched the tip of her nose, "I want to apologize for lying about my ex. I just never thought he'd show up here."

"Don't mention it, woman to woman I know you sometimes just need to survive. If he's going to hurt you though…"

"No, no nothing like that."

"Good. But if it does escalate my brother's a cop over at District 21."

"Thanks," She smiled weakly, "Well see you around Dawson," She locked her locker and left the room.

So," Matt walked into the living room carrying a newly brought bottle of sparking water and two wine glasses, "I figured we'd open up this," He sat down on the couch beside her.

"When did you buy this?"

"While you were picking up some groceries I slipped into the liquor store." He poured two glasses and handed her one.

"Ah," She sipped the beverage, "I think you missed your true calling as a detective,"

"Maybe," He set his own glass on the table and leaned forward to kiss her, he was mere inches away from her lips when a knock on the door interrupted him.

"I'll get it," Gabby stood, "Severide probably forgot his key." However when she got to the door and opened it she saw it wasn't Severide but her brother Antonio.

"Antonio?" She looked at her distraught brother, "What happened?"

Stepping into the apartment he ran a hand over his teary eyed face in an effort to wipe it, "Eva came to the district today. I guess she overheard some things and she… she thought Laura and I were getting a divorce."

Gabby knew that when Antonio was upset and was talking about it, it took some time for him to verbalize it. He had never been good with words, preferring to fight problems out.

"You should have seen her Gabby. She was so upset. All she wanted to do was see me and I yelled at her."

"How did she get there?" Gabby inquired, "Did Laura take her? Her aunt?"

"She took the train."

"On her own?"

"Yeah. So I yelled at her, I swear I sounded like Pop when he was ringing me out. Anyways after I had time to cool off and talk to Laura I told her how worried she made me and…. She thought Laura and I were getting a divorce," He repeated, "And she was distraught. She was sobbing and I couldn't promise her we wouldn't."

"Antonio, you're doing everything you can."

"I'm I Gabby? I mean I must have done something right? Laura doesn't want me to Be a cop anymore? She can't take it anymore?"

"She's just scared Antonio," Gabby was annoyed at her sister in-law for causing her brother so much pain, however she understood her reasons for doing so.

"I told Eva we were working things out and we're trying to but if we can't… I can't live in that house anymore. It's making to go insane."

"Okay, okay. Well I'd let you stay here but Kelly Severide's using our extra bedroom. Why don't I drive you over to Mom and Dad's place? You can stay there?"

"No. I just need to think things through; plus I have somewhere I need to be," He purposely left out where he was going.

"Okay."

I love those kids, I told Eva that, I need them."

"I know Antonio, you're a great father."

"I got Diego kidnapped no wonder…"

"No! No! Don't say that Antonio, it wasn't your fault."

He ran his fingers through his hair, "I just I can't loose them Gabby," he cried.

"I know," She pulled him into a hug, "I know."
