Chapter 8

It had been a hard call, a helicopter on a roof and Matt and Gabby had both had semi-life threatening experiences. A man who didn't want treatment had held Gabby, a gunpoint and Matt risked his life going into a high voltage zone to rescue a victim. Needless to say Gabby was not to pleased with Matt.

"Hey, hey," He gently touched her shoulder as everyone went into the common room after the returned from the call, "Can we talk?" He wrapped his arms around her and led her away and towards his office.

"What is it Matt?" She crossed her arms and did her best to try and stall the tears that were threatening to fall from her brown eyes.

He looked at her and his heart broke, he never wanted to do anything to hurt her and it pained her that he did. "I'm sorry."

"No! You don't get to apologize!" She couldn't help the tears, "You scared me Matt! I could have lost you, when I heard it over the radio I….. It's not just you and me anymore Matt."

He walked to her and gathered her in his arms, "I know baby," He kissed the top of her head and held her.

"I know its not far to be worried," She sniffled, "My job is dangerous too and I know you could die but…."

He took a step back and looked at her, "I wasn't thinking Gabby; I was just doing my job. You're right though we both need to think about the baby," He touched her growing stomach, amazed at how now at fourteen weeks it looked like she was pregnant.

"Yeah," She agreed, "We do. I just can't imagine raising this baby without you Matt," She admitted looking up at him.

"Neither can I," He bent down and kissed her lips, "How about we spend a night in a hotel room tomorrow?"

"Sounds good," She smiled warmly, "It better have strawberries an chocolate sauce."

"Anything you want."


Hand in hand Gabby and Matt walked down the hallway towards their hotel room, ahead of them was a young family with two young children one dragging her feet on the carpet while the other cried in his father's arms.

"That could be us in a few years," Gabby lowered her voice and whispered.

A part of Matt cringed at the thought of having to deal with two unhappy children but another part glowed, he was well aware that the rewards of parenting often outweighed the bad days and moments, "I can't wait."

Smiling Gabby squeezed his hand and just then the little girl dropped the teddy bear she was carrying. Sharing a look Matt went to pick it up and jogged after the family.

"Excuse me, I think you dropped this," He called after them and when they turned around the little girl's smile lit up the room, "Brownie!" She squealed, "Silly," She reached out for her beloved bear.

"What do you say to the nice man Meagan?" The father prompted.

"Ank-wou," She said and hugged her bear as soon as she had it in her arms, "Silly Brownie," She scolded the bear and Matt had to say hard not to laugh, he thought it was an adorable sight.

"Thank you so much," The woman looked at Matt, "Her Brownie is very important, I don't want to think what will happen if it ever gets lost…"

"Oh no problem," Matt waved it off and smiled as Gabby approached and smiled at the young girls happiness.

"Did that bear fall?" She asked, hearing some of the converstation as she walked to join them.

"Yes. He's silly," She responded with a smile then looking up at Gabby she said, "You're pretty."

"Oh why thank you and you look very cute in your dress."

"Ank-wou," She smiled.

"You must be parents," The man looked at the couple.

"Not yet," Matt smiled in response, "In a few months though."

"Well congratulations," The woman nodded and smiled and then she took her daughter's hand and the family walked off.

"She was quite the little cutie," Gabby commented as the family turned a corner, "I can picture a little girl like that."

"With brown hair and brown eyes," He added with a smile, "Yeah me too."

"You know we should start thinking about names,"

"Whatever you want." He spotted the room and got out the card key.

"Well I do have an idea if it's a little girl."

"What is it?"

"Elizabeth Leslie Casey," She all but whispered. "I'd name her Leslie but…."

"Right," Matt understood the context of the name and how hard it would be, "I love the idea. I'm sure she'd be thrilled. How about a boy?"

"I don't know," She walked with him into the room, "How about you?"

"No, but I've always liked the name Alexander."

"I like it," She walked to the bed and took off her shoes, "Much better," She smiled happily.

Taking off his own shoes Matt joined her on the bed and began to massage her feet.

"Oh, that feels good," She moaned.

Matt finished the massage and then trailed kisses up her arm and to her lips, "How about that?"

"Uh-huh," She nodded.

"Good," He settled down beside her, "How about I order the strawberries and chocolate and you go and change into one of my t-shirts."

Gabby didn't have to be told twice, she got off the bed and fished through his bag for a t-shirt. After finally picking one out she went to the washroom and changed.
