A\N: So, I was re-reading the previous chapters of this story and somehow I mis-caculated Gabby's due date. Short story you get to meet little Ellie earlier then you thought you would :) Update: I was right the first time I calculated it (thanks to a reviewer who pointed that out to me) so I'm just going to have Gabby be 13 weeks in the first chapter. That should make up for everything.

Chapter 16

Not being able to sleep anymore Gabby got up and waddled towards the nursery. She was thirty weeks exactly and at her last doctor's appointment her OBGYN had told her the baby could come at any time and to be prepared.

Matt and Kelly had finished the nursery two weeks ago and she smiled as she walked into the room. The walls were painted a light shade of pink and white. Matt had built all of the furniture in the room and it was all white. The crib was in the centre of the room near the window so they could see in from the kitchen. Hanging off the crib was a pink bedding and inside was a red fire truck and a teddy bear and doll.

Matt had gone to see Terrence Boden's nursery before he starred to work on Ellie's and liked the theme of having fire trucks and murals on the walls. The far wall was painted white and had a bookshelf on it, along with books and toys the bookshelf had a framed picture of Gabby and Leslie Shay that was taken a year before. Next to the bookshelf was a painted a version of firehouse 51 along with a both fire trucks and the ambulance. He'd painted the words 'Ellie's 2nd home' on top and even gotten pictures of all of the guys and had framed them along with a little description, the frames outlined the mural; Reading what some of the guys had wrote beside their picture caused Gabby to laugh, she especially liked Cruz writing some words like 'fire-truck' and 'Daddy' and 'Mommy' in English with Spanish translations. Otis had done the same for Russian informing Matt and Gabby at the time that he wanted Ellie to know Russian as well.

On the other white wall next to a rocking chair and shelf with blankets and soothing toys was a mural of District twenty-one that Antonio had helped Matt with. The heading on the Mural said 'Uncle Antonio's a Police Officer' and it had real pictures of the Intelligence unit and pictures of Antonio's colleagues as a border. On the shelf Antonio had gotten a plush police car and police officer doll as well.

One of the pink walls had a closet that was already filled with clothes, shoes and other accessories Gabby had collected at her baby-shower a few weeks ago. She figured Ellie had enough clothes to do her until she was seven months old at least. On the other pink wall was the door to the room and over top of the door were 'Elizabeth Leslie Casey' in white sparkly letters.

"I'm home Babe!" Matt called as he walked into the apartment.

"In the nursery!" She called over her shoulder and turned to see him walk into he room as well,

"Hey Baby," He walked towards her and pulled her into a kiss, "How're you feeling?" He asked as he rested his hands on her large abdomen and rubbed it.

"Okay," She told him, "No unusual pains."

"We'll, I'm home for almost two weeks now," He pulled her into him and kissed her lips, "So when Ellie comes I'll be here."

"Good because I can't give birth to her without you," She sighed as she inhaled his scent. "She's moving around a lot. She's going to be a Daddy's girl I think," Gabby placed her hands over Matt's.

"I can feel her," Matt kissed her neck, "And I won't mind it at all if she's a Daddy's girl when she's a little older."

"Me neither," Gabby admitted, "For the first few months it's me she's going to want but once we get her on bottles you can start feeding her."

"I love you so much," Matt kissed her neck again, "I can't believe soon they'll be a little baby living in this room."

"I know," She smiled as she looked around the nursery again, "I can't believe it either."

"Are my girls hungry?" He asked his hands wrapped around her and resting on her abdomen. "Want me to make you something?"

"Pancakes?" She looked up at him.

"Anything you want," He pressed a sweet kiss to the spot he knew she loved right below her ear, "Want blueberry pancakes?" He released hi hold and took her hand, "We have some frozen ones right?"

"Yeah," She nodded, "That sounds great babe."

"You go and lay down. I'll call you when they're ready, or better yet I'll bring you breakfast in bed."

"Matt you've just worked a twenty-four hour shift!" She turned to look at him, "You need to relax too."

"I'm fine," He leaned in and kissed her, "Now go to bed."

"Okay," She kissed him in return and went into their bedroom and lay down. Twenty minutes later Matt came in carrying a tray with blueberry pancakes and some orange juice. "You better help me eat these Babe." She smiled up at him knowing he hadn't had any breakfast yet either.

"Of course," He went to the other side of the bed snuggled close to her and they ate in silence. When all of the pancakes were finished Matt took the tray, "Get some rest baby," He kissed her forehead, "I'll come and lay down with you after I clean up the kitchen and do the dishes."

"Okay, hurry," She watched him leave. She wanted to stay up until he came back but tiredness got the better of her and so she fell asleep.

An hour later she woke up to a horrifying yet thrilling discovery, her water had broken; "Matt, Baby," She shook his shoulder, "Matt wake up!"

"Something wrong?" His eyes flew open and he shot up in bed and turned to look at her.

"Ellie's coming. Matt I'm in labour," She cringed as she felt a contraction.
