Chapter 14

Gabriela cradled the crying baby in her arms as she waited for Matt to get back from the store. "Ssh, sweetheart," She soothed, "I know you're hungry, I know," The baby looked up at her and nuzzled her face into her breasts. She'd been doing that for an hour, which was when Gabby first guessed she must be hungry; so Truck went to the local store to get some supplies she'd need.

"Do you want this sweetie?" Matt walked into his office holding up a newly made bottle.

The girl's eyes lit up and she started at the bottle intently, following it as Matt sat down beside Gabby, "Mind if I feed her?" He asked hopefully.

"No," Gabby handed the baby over and watched Matt cradle her with one hand while he fed her with the other. Watching him she smiled and imagined him with their daughter, "You're a natural," She watched him, "You know you'll get to feed Ellie to; just not for the first few weeks."

"Yeah I know," Matt nodded, he knew Gabby wanted to exclusively breast feed their baby for the first two months; and then discuss putting her on bottles with breast milk. "I know how important a babies relationship with their mother is. I just want to have a relationship with her too."

"You will," Gabby promised him, "You can hold her as much as you want and put her to sleep and hold her when she wakes up crying at night and change all of her diapers."

"I'll do all that," He promised and he turned and pressed a kiss to her lips before turning his gaze back to the small baby in his arms, "You all finished sweetie?" He cooed gently and put the empty bottle down beside him and held her up to burp her. He gently rubbed her back and not only did she burp but she also spit up all over his shirt. "I should have expected that," He pulled the baby back and settled her in his arms. She was now content and smiling up at him.

"Here," Gabby reached her hands over for the baby, "I'll take her we'll you go and change your shirt. She looks tired too so I'll find a nice safe place for her to sleep.

"We thought of that," Matt stood and motioned for her to follow him; He led her into the common room where the boys had finished setting up a small portable sized crib. "It can stay here too after she goes and then we can use it for Ellie."

"Oh," She smiled tears coming to her eyes, "That's perfect. It might be a little to loud in here though."

"Baby monitors," Matt picked up the items from the table, "We can move it into my office. That way I can check on her when I go in to do some work."

"Looks like you thought of everything."

"Yeah," He nodded and easily took apart the crib and carried it into his office, "There now she has a place to sleep," He looked at the baby in Gabby's arms who was closing her eyes.

"You know she really could be our baby," He said examining her face and blue-green eyes.

"Yeah," Gabby happily agreed.

"I wouldn't object to Ellie looking like her but I secretly want our daughter to have caramel skin with brown wavy hair and chocolate brown eyes."

"You want her to look like me?" Gabby asked him as she placed the baby in the crib.

"Yeah but only until she's twelve and the boys start looking at her."

"Uh-huh," Gabby turned and stood up her tipe-toes to kiss him, "By then we may have some more girls that'll be your babies. That way you'll let Ellie grow up."

"I. Like. One. Of. Those. Ideas," He said through short sweet kisses.

"Me too," Gabby agreed as their lips broke apart and they looked down to see the baby blinking sleepily up at them as if waiting for something. "What is it sweetie?" She stroked her face kissing her forehead softly, "Do you want a lullaby?"

"I wonder if she's homesick," Matt looked at the baby, who despite looking content also looked lost and sad.

"Maybe, how's Children's Services doing at locating her parents?"

"They're really busy told me to call back in an hour."

"Ah," She nodded her head and looked back down at the girl in her arms. She then began to sing a Spanish lullaby to her and the girl began to whimper a little. "Ssh baby girl," She soothed in English and she closed her eyes and finally went to sleep. "I don't want to leave her here all by herself," Gabby stood up, "I'll keep her with me while she sleeps."

"Whatever you want," Matt followed her out of his office.

"Well, well looks like the two of you are all set for being parents," Kelly smiled leaning on the door to his office, "How's she doing?" He looked at the sleeping bundled up baby.

"She's okay," Gabby, said, "She's sleeping now but you can hold her later if you want."

"Protective Mama," Kelly laughed, "I think I'm going to have a hard time holding my Goddaughter when she gets here."

"No, no just…" She trailed off.

"No, no Dawson I think its…" He looked at Matt and looked back at her, "In words that Matt won't murder me with I think you're going to make a very good looking mother."

"I still might hurt you," Matt glared at his best friend but he couldn't hold in his smirk.

"Uh-huh well I don't think you will. I have to say though you're going to be perfect parents; you'll already worrying about this little one."

"Yeah," Gabby looked down at the baby and smiled softly, "She's safe her until someone comes to take her home."

"Yeah," Severide nodded and went back to doing some work.

"Come on lets get you and Ellie some lunch," Matt placed his hand on the small of her back and led her down the hallway and towards the common room where his candidate was finishing up making lunch.

"Ah there she is," Hermann stood up and walked over to where Gabby was protectively holding the baby, "How's our little girl doing?"

"She's alright, sleeping now and it took her a long time to get to sleep," She eyed Herman and then the rest of the room.

"Okay! Okay!" Herman raised his arms in surrender and backed up. When he was at a safe distance he said, "You're going to be a great mother kiddo."

"Thanks Herman," She smiled and took a few bites out of the sandwich Matt had set in front of her. "Hey Babe," She took his hand and placed it over her abdomen, "It seems like Ellie's a little jealous I'm holding this baby."

"Yeah," He agreed, as he was able to feel the sharp kicks their daughter was giving Gabby. He wasn't sure but he thought he could also feel her moving her feet. "It doesn't hurt does it?"

"It's not the greatest feeling in the world," She looked at him, "But I'll be in a lot worse pain when I'm giving birth to her."

"I know babe," He leaned forward and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"Lt." Cruz rushed suddenly into the room, "I was just on the radio and I think Brett and Mills are in trouble!"

"Why? What did they say?"

"There was someone in their ambulance, likes its been abandoned."

"Okay!" Matt stood, "Truck lets go!"

"Squad too!" Severide stood up and the room emptied leaving Gabby and the baby all-alone.

"There you go sweet girl," Gabby soothed, "Now you can get a nice long sleep."

To keep the baby asleep Gabby walked around the entire firehouse almost never stopping afraid it would only wake up the baby. She was sure she covered the entire firehouse twice and when her legs and back hurt too much she went back to the common room and sat down on the couch.

"Dawson," Chief Boden walked into the room, "Children's Services just called. They located her parents. They're coming in from Indiana to get her."

"Indiana?"

"Apparently she was kidnapped two days ago."

"Oh my gosh!" She gasped holding the baby tighter.

"It's okay, she's safe now. We're going to meet them at the hospital."

"Okay," She nodded, "Once the ambulance gets back. Can I go with her Chief?"

"Mills and Brett are on their way back," He told her, "And you have permission to go with them although technically you don't work her anyone," He reminded her, "You're on maternity leave."

"Yeah I know," She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Matt has said he'll buy bubble wrap so many times I think he might actually do it."

"I don't blame him."

Gabby was about to say something else when the fire trucks came back into the bay and the baby begun to cry. "What's wrong," Gabby lifted her up but quickly realized she needed to be changed, "Ah well we can't have you in a dirty diaper," She grabbed a diaper from the bag and proceeded to carry her back to Matt's officer where she could change her in privacy without the guys seeing.

"Hey Babe," Matt caught up to her, "She need to be changed?"

"Yeah."

"You've done enough let me do this."

"Matt-"

"I need to learn how to change one at some point."

"Yeah I know. How about we both do it."

"Okay," He agreed and they walked into his office Gabby laying the baby down on his bed and undoing the buttons on her onsie, "Do you know what to do now?" She asked Matt.

"I think I can handle it," He carefully lifted up her legs and undid the diaper not prepared for the smell. "Oh!" He plugged his nose and wrapped up the old diaper and wiped her. "How can you sit there like that?" He looked at Gabby.

"I helped Antonio and Laura with Eva and Diego. Now I'll take the dirty diaper and put it in the trash outside you put her new diaper on and then I'm going with Brett and Mills to take her to Chicago Med. Her parents are meeting us there."

"Ah," He nodded and put a clean diaper on the baby, "That wasn't so bad was it?" He tickled her bare tummy and she smiled happily up at him. He blew bubbles on her stomach and she grinned even more and began kicking her feet.

"You're a natural," Gabby said walking back into he room, "Ellie is very lucky to have a Daddy like you."

"Watching you with this baby made you even more sexy," He pulled her down onto the bed and kissed her, "You're going to make a very good mother to our daughter; and I'm allowed to say that makes you sexy," He kissed her again.

"We'll finish this later," She gave him one more kiss before standing up with the baby in her arms and leaving his office.

After shift had ended Matt went to the hospital to sit with Gabby while she waited for the baby's parents to come. They came and were very grateful for Gabby taking such good care of their daughter and told them they'd made good parents as well. With a very exhausted Gabby Matt held her hand as they walked back to her truck. Within minutes of the drive home she was asleep and as Mat pulled up to their apartment he leaned forward to wake her up.

"Baby," He caressed her cheek, "Baby we're home."

Gabby stirred and looked up blinking her eyes, "Already?" She yawned.

"Come on," He got out of the truck and went around to the passenger side and opened the door and helped her down onto the icy sidewalk, "Lets get you inside where its warm and I'll make you some hot chocolate and you and drink it in our cozy bed."

"Uhm," She leaned into him, "Sounds perfect."

He kissed the side of her head and opened their apartment door to see Severide watching TV, "Hey Sev," He smiled at his friend.

"Hey," He turned around and looked at them, "Want me to get out of your way?"

"No, no," Gabby said yawning, "I'm going to bed, just make sure Matt brings himself and some hot chocolate in."

"Okay," Kelly chuckled as he watched Gabby make her way towards her and Matt's bedroom. "So how did it feel to play Daddy today?" He wondered.

"Honestly? I felt amazing. I can't believe I'm going to be a father in five months."

"Well if you're worried you don't have to be; you're a natural man," He assured his friend, "Now and make Gabby some hot chocolate I'd like to not have her yell at me today," He lowered his voice.

"You and be both," He agreed and walked off into the kitchen to make the hot chocolate. Carrying the drink into the room he smiled as he saw Gabby sound asleep; her arms moving around, "Matt," She mumbled sleepily waking up, "Come to bed."

"Gladly," Matt walked over and climbed into his side snuggling up to Gabby, "Go to sleep baby I'm here," He found her abdomen and rubbed it gently, "Get some sleep."

"Love you," She mumbled sleepily.

"I love you too Gabby," He kissed her neck and held her until she was asleep; only then did he let himself fall asleep as well.
