A\N: So to make things easier because of the big crossover with Chicago PD and to make it so I can have more crossovers in my stories I've decided to slightly change something in this story; Antonio and Laura are working on their relationship and are still together and doing great. I want to thank my virtual big sister and beta reader for helping me with this chapter! :D

Chapter 13
Now in her early 2nd trimester Gabby had been feeling sore and tired most of the time as her daughter continued to grow. Luckily she had stopped feeling nauseous but she had been having mood swings and periods where she wasn't hungry and half an hour later she was starving. Recently she hadn't been sleeping well but forced herself out of bed to join Matt on shift as they were going to do a memorial service for Shay.
"Look who I found," Kelly Severide walked into the common room with Meagan, Leslie's sister.
"Hey Meagan," Gabby got up and went over to hug the other woman, "How are you?"
"Alright… so could it really be murder?" She asked. "Was Leslie really murdered?" She chocked back tears.
"We don't know yet," Kelly told her, "But we're going to find out." He was about to say something else when the call bell sounded and the room emptied leaving Gabby and Meagan to talk.
"So when are you due?" Megan asked after a brief silence.
"June 2nd is my due date," She told her as she placed a hand on her abdomen, "Her names Elizabeth Leslie Casey."
Megan blinked and then stared at her, "Thank you-Wow that's…. You know Leslie and I weren't that close she was more like a sister to you. My parents made me come here and I don't know anything. I just wish things has been different."
"No, no you called her all the time right?"
"Yeah she'd tell me everything was great," She shook her head, "I just wish I'd known how dangerous it could really be being a paramedic."
"Yeah; but Leslie was the best," She smiled at the memory, "Now I don't know about you but I'm starving. I think I'm going to make everyone some breakfast. You want to help?"
"You sure you can cook?"
"Yeah," Gabby nodded, "When I can, I do I hate how this pregnancy thing is making my feet and back hurt so much. I can only stand for sort periods of time for cooking. I think I'm feeling aright now though."
"Okay," Meagan watched her pull out the varied ingredients she'd need, "You know Leslie was always talking bout you and Matt, even before you got together."
"Yeah," Gabby chuckled, "She was always pushing us together. If it wasn't for her I'm not sure our relationship would have even started; Matt said she… she was really happy we were getting engaged and when I told her before…" She couldn't finish as tears flooded down her cheeks.
Meagan didn't know what to say, she wanted to know how her sister died but didn't want to ask as it was such a sensitive topic, "She really loved you," She spoke softly, "She really did."
"She was like a sister to me," Gabby said through her tears.
Megan nodded and for the nest fifteen minutes they stayed silent while Gabby began to make pancakes and eggs for everyone.
"Something smells good!" Matt was the first one in the kitchen after they arrived back from the call, "You making pancakes?" He wrapped his arms around Gabby and kissed her neck.
"No, waffles," She sighed and leaned into his embrace, "And I need to make another few batches."
"Alright," He inhaled her scent and nuzzled her neck.
"Matt! I can't make breakfast like this," She squirmed to get out of his hold.
Pouting Matt gave her one last kiss and returned to his usual spot at the head of the
table.
Just then the rest of the shift came into the room; Brett and Cruz picking up their argument about Ottis' Baba moving in with them.
."Dude, you don't text me this, you tell me. We're roommates."
Well I thought you would check your text message." He pointed out.
"Uh!" Cruz exclaimed throwing his arms up in the air, "You better take her out tomorrow night because Brett is coming over for our three month anniversary." He explained as they sat at the table, lowering his voice a notch he added, "We were going to spend the night at her place but Meagan's staying with her and she can't really ask her to go out for the night.
"Don't worry Baba goes to bed at eight PM. You won't here anything." He promised.
"You better be right," He warned.
"I am."
"Pancakes are ready!" Gabby announced and everyone eagerly stood up to get some food.
"Thanks for making these Gabby," Jacob, Truck fifty-one's new candidate said as he loaded his plate.
"You're welcome," She looked as the younger man opened his mouth nervously to say something and then seeing Matt looking at him skirted away.
"What was that about?" Gabby eyed her fiancée wearily as he handed her a plate and put some syrup on it.
"Nothing;" He shrugged his shoulders, "Now eat something."
Gabby took what she was offered but it didn't make her any less curious, "Matt."
"He may have said something to the guys about thinking you were hot," He whispered.
"Ah, and of course you set him in his place; now he's terrified of me," She concluded.
"Something like that."
"He a good candidate?"
"You'd be better," He kissed her lips, "But with the knowledge I'll be in the dog house I think you'll do a much better job at being a mother to our daughter."
She frowned but then her face softened a little, "Half in the dog house," She kissed him on the lips and carried her plate over to the table to continue eating.
"Here you go," Matt handed everyone their drinks before settling down beside Gabriela and taking a long drink of his own beer.
"You know I might rethink our deal on you not drinking," Gabby eyed him with envy as she sipped her water."
"Anytime you want babe," Matt responded with a kiss to the side of her head, "You're giving me the greatest gift in the world. You know I'm never going to be able to repay you for that."
"Don't try to sweet talk your way out of this Matthew Casey," She poked him in the chest, "That drink is going to be your last one until I can drink again so make it last long."
Kelly gave Matt a look that didn't go unnoticed by Gabby, "You have something to say Kelly?"
"No, no I'm staying out of this," He shook his head.
"Then don't side with Matt!" She snapped at him.
"Sorry," He responded just as the Captain from Arson investigation came up to their table.
"Anything?' Severide asked.
She shook her head sadly, "My boss doesn't think there's enough evidence to convict him."
"What? But he got all that evidence," Gabby turned her anger onto the woman, "How can you not want to investigate?"
"Gabby," Matt took her hand and squeezed it in an effort to calm her down.
"No!" She swiped his hand away and stood up and stalked out of the bar. Outside she took out her phone and dialed her brother's number, he answered on the second ring.
"Hey Sis," He responded and she could hear Laura talking to the kids in the background.
"Hey Tonio. I need your help."
"Sure. What's up? You sound off?"
"Not you too," She scoffed out. "Everyone's been on my case today. I'm not calling so you can give me a lecture though."
"Alright," He nodded, "What's up?"
"Kelly Severide found proof Shay's death was an arson," She took a deep breath before continuing, "But arson investigation won't go after the guy who did it."
"Wait back up? You know she was murdered? You know who did it?"
"Fifty-one got a call for a fire at a storage locker and found all kinds of evidence inside and an article about Shay's death," She briefly explained, "That led Kelly on a manhunt for this guy anyways he has all this information can you bring in Intelligence to help us out?"
"Sure, tell Severide to be at the District tomorrow morning at nine; you can come too if you want."
"Maybe; and thanks Tonio."
"Always, love you little sis."
"Love you too big bro."
