Chapter 9

It was early on Monday morning and Gabby woke up with a smile; even though she was feeling nauseous and light-headed she knew in a few hours she'd be able to see her child on an ultrasound machine; that made all of the sickness disappear. She kept reminding herself that it was all worth it and in June she and Matt would have a beautiful baby to look after; one their love created.

"Morning Babe," Matt rubbed his eyes and sat up and blinked his eyes open, "How're you doing?" He wondered as he'd been up with her a few times after three as she had thrown up.

"Not much better," She admitted truthfully, "I'll just have something light for breakfast. I'll make you something though."

"No, no," He shook his head, "You stay here and rest I'll go and make you something," He climbed out of bed and began getting dressed. They were on shift today but since their apportionment was at nine they'd be a little late for shift; after asking Boden he'd okay'd it and Herman was going to be acting Lieutenant until Matt got back.

"Matt I'm fine," She heavily sighed and also got up. She began searching for clothes knowing most of them were to tight on her now, "I need to get some maternity clothes," She muttered to herself.

Watching her struggle with getting dressed Matt finished buttoning up his jeans and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her middle and rested his hands on her abdomen, she was fifteen weeks now and visibly pregnant.

Touching her hand to his Gabby smiled, "It feels so real now."

"Humph," Matt sighed with happiness, "It does." He kissed her neck, "Thank you for making me so happy." He kissed her again and released her from his hold, "I'll go and make my two favourite people some breakfast."

Putting on a pair of sweat pants she turned to look at him, "Okay."

At the doctor's apportionment Dr. Corata weighed Gabby and measured her stomach, "Looks like your baby is developing right on schedule," She wrote something down on a chart, "Now I know in the last apportionment we talked about your job and how you might do some desk work."

"We're still talking about that," Matt responded, he had worded it nicely but the thought still made him angry. He didn't understand why Gabby was so adamant to keep working even though each shift proved more risky for her and their child growing inside her.

"We'll I'm not going to tell you what to do but I do urge you to think of what's best for yourself and the baby."

Gabby nodded her head.

"Right, now on to the best part. Lets see if we can get a clear image of how much your baby's growing."

Gabby laid down on the bed and looked at the currently blank screen, smiling she saw an image appear and laughed as she saw the baby doing flips.

"Look at that, seems to know its on camera," Matt smiled.

The baby now changed to dong somersaults and every now and then she turned and looked at them, it was if she did know her parents were watching.

"Yeah," Gabby nodded, "It's not bad I can't feel the baby moving yet, right?"

"Yes," Dr. Corata nodded reassuringly, "Most woman don't feel their baby move until sixteen weeks but some feel it earlier and some later, it really all depends."

"Okay," That made her feel a little better, "I've heard it feels like popcorn popping inside you."

"Yes, it can feel like that."

Gabby returned her gaze to the screen and smiled, she just couldn't belive she could hear her babies heartbeat and see it moving, it was all becoming so real.

"I'll get you another copy of the picture if you want."

"Yes please."

Matt and Gabby were only at the firehouse for fifteen minutes before the call bells went off. It signaled them to a hydrochloric acid spill. Truck started to clear the area while the Squad guys tried to fix the leak in the truck.

"I just… I can't believe this happened," The driver looked towards the ground as Gabby began to examining him, to ensure he didn't have any injuries.

"It'll be okay Sir," She assured him, "But we're going to need to take you to the hospital to make sure you're alright.

Just then the acid began to spread and Matt looked worryingly at Gabby and rushed over, "Gabby," He motioned for her to come and talk to him. "Go and stay in the truck."

"What? Matt you can't-"

"Gabby." He started at her, "Just do it please."

She shook her head and went off in the direction of the truck not looking back at Matt.

They managed to get the acid under control and Brett and Mils took the driver to the hospital while Gabby rode back in the Truck. She didn't say anything to Matt as the drove away from the scene.

"Lieutenant, can I talk to you?" She asked coldly as everyone climbed out of the truck.

"Yeah sure," He followed her into the conference room and the minute he closed the door she exploded.

"What gives you the right to tell me what to do?" She yelled.

"Gabby you're carrying my child! Do you know how dangerous something like that is!"

She fumed with anger, "Yes I do! And for the record you can't order me around! I'm not your possession!

"Gabby," He rubbed his face, "I'm worried about you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or the baby."

"Matt," She calmed down a little, "I know its highly dangerous I wasn't going to go anywhere near it and if I thought it was to dangerous I would have gone and waited in the ambulance."

"I want to belive you Gabby but I just can't. You said you'd think about desk work and this scene should prove to you that that's what you should do."

"I'm not having this discussion Matt!" She left the room and slammed the door behind her.

They hardly talked the rest of the shift and they avoided each other as much as they could at home as well.

Matt was alone the next night at their house while everyone else was at Molly's, he walked to the fridge to grab a cold beer when he saw the ultrasound picture and smiled. He wanted to talk things out with Gabby and at the very least come to a compromise on what to do. He turned and walked away to go to Molly's. He knew Gabby would be closing down soon.

"Need any help?" He asked walking into Molly's.

"Matt," Gabby turned and faced him, a small smile on her lips, "Actually yeah, I'm uh…. Having a hard time lifting some of the chairs up," She admitted sheepishly.

"You go rest, I'll finish up here," He told her.

"Only if we can talk,"

"Deal."

She handed over the broom and dust pan and sat in a stool watching Matt as he got to work, "So I've been thinking-"

"Me too," Matt cut in. "Sorry you go first."

She continued knowing he'd like what she had to say, "I've been thinking about things and I think you're right, I shouldn't be out on calls all the time. So I've t to run promotions and advertising for Molly's and Molly's two. I've already talked it over with the guys and they all agree it's a great idea."

"Gabby you don't have to do this just because I've pushed you. I want you to be happy, maybe you can stay on ambulance but only drive."

"Matt this is what I want. I love my job and I don't want to be stuck doing paperwork or driving the ambo all the time. I was holding off because I didn't want that you only made me realize how selfish I was being and how I need to start really thinking of our baby."

"I love you Gabby," He set the broom and dust pan down and walked over to kiss her.

"I love you too."

"So what that this new job entail?" He wondered.

"I'm going to start a Twitter stream and maybe a Facebook page too. Talk to some newspapers and events see what I can come up with."

"Sounds good. I'll start telling some of my clients about Molly's."

"Yeah you do that," She stood and walked towards him and kissed him again, "I think I;m going to fix us some virgin drinks."

"Sounds great," He continued cleaning.

She placed her hands on her stomach and walked behind the bar, that's when she felt it, her babies first kick, a huge smile on her face she turned to Matt, "Matt the babies kicking. I can feel the baby move!"

Matt dropped everything and rushed over to her, he placed both hands on her stomach but couldn't feel anything, "I can't feel it," He sighed with disappointment,

She touched his face, "You will, soon." She looked at him, "The book says around twenty weeks or so.

"I can't wait," He kissed her.
