Chapter 11

Matt walked into the apartment and saw Gabby sitting at the kitchen table sobbing, "Baby!" He rushed over to her, "What's wrong?"

"I just…" She continued to sob, "It's all to much Matt. I can't deal with it."

He sat down next to her and rubbed her back, "Is this about Boden and Donna's baby? Is that why you left the hospital early? Are you afraid something will happen to our baby?"

"It's not just that it's the call too. I would have been there but left early and I was here. When you called and then told me about Boden's baby… I tried to go to the hospital but I kept seeing us there and I just

"Come here," He helped her stand and walked with her over to the couch where she sat down; he sat down next to her and pulled her into his arms, "None of this was your fault Gabby. They're working hard to make sure Boden an Donna's baby is going to be okay; and it's not common for that to happen you know that. I can't guarantee nothing will happen to our baby but I know no matter what I'll always love you and our baby."

She tried to smile, "You know its just it's scary; this baby is depending on me for everything and I just… I could see her or him move today."

"You could?" His eyes lit up, "When!"

Whipping tears away from her eyes she said, "I was cleaning the kitchen and I played some music on my phone to pass the time. I could feel the baby moving inside me as if it was dancing and then I lifted my shirt up and I could see it. Then you called and I just; I cried because I thought what if something happens to our baby."

"I was thinking that too," Matt admitted, "Watching chief and Donna suffer I don't know what I'd do. Their baby is a fighter though; we can go and visit them after out appointment if you want.

"Maybe," She still looked a little unsure.


"Your baby seems to be doing fine and is growing as it should be. I'm pleases to see your stress levels seem to have gone down as well," Dr. Corata told Gabby and Matt. "Now lets see if we can get an image of your baby. Would you like to know the sex?"

"Yes please," Gabby replied as she lay down on the examination table and looked at the screen waiting to see the image of her baby.

Dr. Corata moved the wand on Gabby's abdomen and after a few minutes as able to get a heartbeat and image.

Mat's eyes widened as he saw the picture on the screen, it actually looked like a baby now, as it was bigger then the last time they had seen it. "That's amazing." He grinned.

"I know," Gabby agreed.

"You're having a girl," Dr. Corata used a pointer to examine the ultrasound machine, "I'm almost 90% sure of that. However I do have to tell you there is a possibility I could be wrong.

Gabby looked more closely at the image and saw what Dr. Corata had, no penis, and since the baby was positioned in a way with her hands clasped together she was sure as a well it was a little girl.

"A little girl," She smiled happily, "Ellie. Her names Elizabeth."

Matt leaned over and kissed Gabby on the lips, "Perfect name."

Gabby squeezed his hand and they continued to stare at the image happily. "I'll go get you copies of the image." Dr. Corata said and she left the office returning minutes later with an envelope, which she handed to Matt. "You can book another appointment in four weeks time."

"So home or up to visit Boden and Donna?" Matt asked as they made their way out of the outpatient area of the hospital.

"We can go and visit," She told him and she took his hand and placed the other one on her abdomen, she loved being able to feel her daughter move around inside of her.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, I'm sure."

"Okay," Matt said and they walked towards the elevators. Once on the floor they walked along until they got to the room. Just outside the door they saw Donna holding the tiny baby and Boden beside her watching their son.

"Lets come back later," Gabby turned to leave but Donna saw them and smiled at them as she said something to her husband.

"Matt, Gabby" Chief Boden stood and walked over to the open doorway.

"We just wanted to see how little Terence was doing."

"The doctor's say he's going to be fine, they want to keep an eye on him but he should be fine."

"That's great."

"Come in, come in," Donna told them. How many weeks pregnant are you?" She asked Gabby

"Twenty-three. We had a ultrasound appointment today."

"Did you find out what you're having?"

"A girl," Matt cut in not being able to hold in his excitement any longer.

"Congratulations," Chief Boden nodded to both of them.

"Thanks, well we know you must be tired," Matt caught the expression on his boss' face.

"Thanks for coming," Boden shook both their hands.


Kelly walked into the apartment later in the day to find Matt working in his room, "Kicking me out already?" He joked as he leaned against the doorframe.

Matt smiled and rose to his feet, "Yeah figured I'd give this room to someone a lot younger."

"And?" He pressed, "A boy or girl?"

"A girl."

"Congratulations man, and I'm alright living in a pink room for awhile. You know because with you and Gabby as her parents she's going to be cute."

"Just for that you can help me fix up this room," He quipped back.

"Of course, what did you have in mind?"

"Well Gabby wants it to be modern but classic too," He shrugged, "Not sure what that means but I didn't want to ask. We had a little argument when I said maybe she shouldn't go to Molly's and work."

Severide rolled his eyes, "She's stubborn Matt. She's not going to be okay just sitting around."

"Yeah I know but things have been hard lately for her and I'm worried,"

"Did you tell her that?"

"Yeah I did and she said she could make up her mind and stormed out."

"She'll come around," Kelly assured him, "If there's one thing I know about Dawson its that she loves you."

"Yeah," Matt nodded hoping his best friend was right. "So I'm thinking the crib and change table can be on one side of the wall and a rocking chair and bookshelf can be on the other. We need blinds for the window too, for now at least. Gabby wants to be able to watch her when she's in here. I wouldn't mind it either actually."

"If you want me to move out before she comes just-"

"No, no man; she'll be staying in our room for at least eight weeks or until she sleeps through the night. This kind of thing takes my mind off of things though," He explained.

"I know," Kelly nodded and they heard the front door open and both walked out of the room.

"Gabby what's wrong?" Matt immediately rushed to her as he saw she was having a hard time walking,

"My back hurts and my ankles are swollen like balloons," She complained miserably, "Standing behind that bar for even an hour was hell."

"Here," Matt put his arm around her waist, "Put your weight on me I'll help you walk into the bedroom.

"Thanks."

"Want some ice for your ankles? Matt asked as they walked,

"Ice?" It's the middle of winter!"

"What do you want then?"

"Sleep. I want to sleep and tomorrow I can only hope my ankles are back to tier normal size. I know they won't' be though, swollen ankles is just another wonderful symptom of pregnancy."

"Need help getting undressed?"

"No," She shook her head, "I don't want you to see me."

"Gabby!" Matt looked at her puzzled "I've seen you naked before."

"Not when I'm bigger then a whale!" She sobbed.

Without any hesitation Matt walked over to her, "Gabby you're beautiful, so beautiful. You're carrying our daughter and that makes you even more beautiful. Now let me help you so you can crawl into bed and get some rest."

To tired to argue she nodded and he helped her undress, as it was sometimes hard for her to put on socks, especially now when her ankles were swollen.

"Here Gabby," Matt handed her one of his shirts he knew she liked along with one of his sweatshirts and a pair of maternity sweatpants she had gotten.

"Thanks," Gabby stripped down and changed, "I wish I had fuzzy socks that could fit over my ankles." She shivered as she crawled into bed and wrapped herself up in blankets.

"I'll go and get you some. You want anything else?"

"Matt, you don't have to get them."

"I want to. Do you need anything else?"

"No, but if I think of anything I'll text you."

"Okay, I'll be back soon," He kissed her on the lips.

"I love you Matt," She called after him.

"I love you too. You and Elizabeth," He responded with a smile.
