Chapter 19

"Alright sweetheart you can lay here and watch Mommy do some chores," Gabby put Ellie in a baby seat and did up the straps. "There you go," She turned on he mobile for her. She was almost a month old now and she was starting to watch the mobile or be interested in toys she could make do things.

Putting the laundry basket on the table Gabby turned on the TV and switched it to the news station; she was just about to get started on the laundry when she stopped. Along the screen were the words 'BREAKING NEWS' and a picture of Chicago Med. She could see fire fighters and police officers in the background and listened as the newscaster did a recap of the situation.

'If you're just joining us earlier today, around half an hour ago a grenade went off inside the emergency room of Chicago Med. We don't have all the details yet but we do know that along with the grenade a deadly virus was released and everyone in the ER at the time is now quarantined inside. Among the occupants are personal of the hospital as well as members of Firehouse fifty-one who were bringing in victims of a fire at the time….'

As soon as she heard those words 'firehouse fifty-one' Gabby began panicking and forgetting all about the rest of the newscast. Was Matt inside? Was he okay? What was he exposed to? Why would he be bringing in victims? Where were Mills and Brett?

'…. We've just gotten word that a firefighter was severally injured in the explosion the name isn't being released but we're told he's had to have emergency surgery….'

"Oh…." Gabby could feel her throat collapsing in on her… "Matt!" Tears came down her face in buckets. She quickly got her phone out and called him. No answer. She was just about to call the station when she saw who she believed to be Antonio walking around. She'd recognize her brother anywhere. She changed plans and called him.

"Gabby…"You heard. Antonio picked up after the first ring.

"I'm just watching it now," She tried to control her sobs, "Please…. Please tell me the injured fire fighter isn't Matt?" She didn't want anyone to be seriously hurt; they were all her friends. But Matt dying, she couldn't live with herself if that happened? She loved him and they had a young daughter, Ellie needed to know who her father was…. No, Matt had to be okay.

"It's not," She let out a sigh of relief and waited for him to continue. "It's Severide."

"Oh my gosh," Fresh tears escaped her eyes, "What happened?"

"We're not really sure; we don't have all the answers yet but we're getting them. I'll keep you updated alright."

"Thanks, is what they're been exposed to bad?"

No answer.

"Antonio I need to know."

"Yeah. It could be deathly."

"And Matt's in there?"

"Yeah Gab's he is but we're going to-"

"I'm coming down there!"

"No, Gabby there's nothing you can do alright?

"No! I need to…. Antonio I need…"

"I'll call Laura and ask if she can come over alright? She's at home today."

"Antonio-"

"Gabby I'm sorry you can't come down here. There's nothing you can do and it'll just make it worse."

"Alright," She sighed and nodded her head. "Thanks."

"No problem," He said and hung up the phone.

Gabby put the phone on the coffee table in front of her and looked at Ellie. She was staring off into space and Gabby tried to look for a smile, although she knew that wouldn't come for a few more weeks.

"Daddy's going to be okay," She walked over to her and took her into her arms, cradling her she kissed her and held her close, "Daddy's going to be okay." Ellie only stared up at her mother and put her entire fist in her mouth.

Through her tears Gabby smiled and laughed, "You're a little cutie," She kissed her forehead and began walking around with her.

Less then half an hour later the doorbell rang and Gabby went to answer it to see her sister in-law standing on the doorstep, "Hey Laura," She stepped aside to let her in, "Thanks for coming," She said giving her a side hug as she was still carrying Ellie.

"No problem, I was actually planning on coming over before Antonio called me. I saw it on the news too. He'll be alright though."

"Uh-huh," She wanted to believe that was true but she knew there was a chance he could have become infected with a deadly virus.

"Can I hold her?" She looked at her young niece.

"Of course," Gabby handed her over and Ellie just kept kicking her feet. "She has soothers, she just likes her hand or thumb in her mouth," She smiled, "So how are you feeling?"

"I was sick this morning. Really sick; that's why I didn't go into the shop today," She explained, "But I'm alright now. The kids still aren't overly pleases though. Eva especially."

"It's hard news to adjust too," She admitted, "They'll get over it though; they know family's important. If there's one thing I know they have drilled into there heads its that."

"Yeah," She sat down on the couch, "I hope they do. I really want them to at least like the idea of a new little baby. I'm pretty excited."

"Me too, plus you know Ellie and her new little cousin will be best friends. They're going to be six months apart right?"

"Yeah," Laura confirmed, "I never really thought about that but you're right. Oh I hope they'll be good friends."

"They will be," She smiled, "I have a feeling they'll be best friends."

"Maybe I'll have a little girl," She kissed Ellie's forehead, "Would you like that sweetie?" In response Ellie let out a little gurgle that turned into a full out cry within seconds, "What's wrong sweetie?" She asked holding her close, "Is your diaper full? Is that why?"

"Here," Gabby reached over and took Ellie into her arms, "I'll change her," She went over to a small changing mat in the room and laid her down on it. She then undid the buckles on her onsie and proceeded to change her diaper. After putting on a fresh one she held her up, "There does that here all better? Lets show Auntie Laura your new play mat?" She stood with Ellie in her arms and walked towards the play mat in the corner of the room and dragged it over closer to the couch, "She hasn't quite got the hang of this yet but she's getting there," Gabby laid her down on her tummy and turned on the mobile.

Ellie was about to cry when she accidently pulled on a toy that made a squishing sound. She stopped and looked at it and then began to cry.

"No, no sweetie look that's a toy," Gabby sat down beside her and repeated the action, "Look," She spun a little nob that then changed colours. Staring at it Ellie accidently pushed a button beside it that caused the light to flash different colours. "See Ellie isn't this fun?"

Ellie began moving her hands all around the mat searching for anything she could touch. When she made things happen she repeated her actions; this process went on for a good ten minutes or so until she started to cry and scream and Gabby came and got her.

"It's time for lunch isn't it?" She sat on the couch with her and lifted up her shirt and bra and began feeding her. After Ellie had finished eating Gabby carried her up to the bedroom and placed her in the cradle and kissed her forehead. She and Laura then had sandwiches for lunch.

Around four o'clock the door opened and Matt walked in, "MATT!" She jumped off the couch and ran into his arms crushing him in a hug, "You're okay?" She buried her face into his chest.

"It wasn't contagious it wasn't in his body long enough," He told her, "I love you Gabby," He pulled her into a long kiss, "I couldn't stop thinking about you and Ellie… how I might never see you two again."

"I know the feeling," She held his hand as they walked over to where Laura was holing Ellie.

"Here you go," Laura handed Ellie to Matt, "I'll leave you alone now. I should probably get going anyways make sure Eva and Diego are okay."

"Yeah, thanks again Laura," Gabby hugged her.

"No problem Gabby, you'd do the same for me." She got her shoes on and left the house leaving the small family alone.

"My baby," Matt cradled Ellie close to his chest and kissed her, "I love you so much. You're perfect and beautiful just like your mother."

At the comment Gabby blushed, "Matt."

"It's true," He gave her a sweet kiss on the lips.

"Alright I just fed her so she should be alright until we get back. You can play with her and sing songs, that would be great but even just talking to her too and…"

"All right Aunt Gabby," Eva nodded trying to get all of the information in as her aunt was talking rather fast.

"She'll be fine sweetie," Matt assured her, "Eva's great with her and she has her babysitting certificate and she babysits all the time."

"Yeah I know but…."

"It's hard leaving them for the first time," Laura spoke up, "I remember leaving Eva with you."

"I know, I know I was the same age!" She sighed, "I'm just…. I know she'll be fine," She looked at her daughter who was lying contently in Eva's arms. "I just…"

"We don't have to go baby," Matt hated causing her so much stress. It had been his idea they join Laura and Antonio and all of their friends and colleagues at Molly's.

"No I want to go," Gabby gave Ellie a soft kiss, "Be good for your cousin."

"Oh she's perfect," Eva smiled, "But my little brother or sister is going to be even more perfect," She looked at her parents, "I'm alright with it; I guess it's okay. I'm going to love my brother or sister."

"Thanks Eva," Laura went to hug her, "Really that means a lot. I know it's going to be hard for you."

"Well I'll have to deal with it then," She shrugged, "Come on Ellie I'll teach you all about cute boys," She smirked and carried her infant cousin towards the TV.

"Hey, hey!" Matt warned, "I don't want her liking boys for another thirty years!"

"Matt!" Gabby smacked his chest, "She may not like boys."

"Alright, I don't want her being in a romantic relationship for thirty years," He changed his previous statement.

"I thought you were cool," Eva smiled at her 'uncle'

"I am; She's just my little girl and I want to protect her."

"See Eva I'm not the only one," Antonio eyed her.

"Yeah well at least Ellie's a baby and not fourteen. She doesn't have a nice boyfriend who just wants to invite her over. So what if his parents aren't going to be home!"

"Alright," Laura interrupted, "Lets not start that discussion here."

"Good idea," Gabby agreed and went to kiss Ellie again.

"Bye Ellie," Matt kissed his daughter, "We shouldn't be to long," He told Eva.

"No we won't!" Gabby agreed.

"Alright," Eva switched on the TV after the adults had left, "Let me give you your first lesson on cute boys…."

"Hey," Sylvie Brett was the first to get to Gabby as she walked into Molly's, "How are you?" She asked.

"I'm good. How are you?" She released her hold of Matt's hand and walked with her to the bar.

"Alright it was pretty rough though," She admitted, "I was helping out with Severide's surgery."

"Ooh," She winced, "Matt said he's doing alright though his friend April's with him."

"Yeah she's nice," She said, "So how's our little princess doing?"

"Oh?" Gabby laughed, "She's fine, my niece is watching her for a few hours."

"Ah," She smiled, "Well I'm glad you're here.

Ruzek was sitting at the bar when Antonio joined him to get some drinks, "You telling people you're a Detective?" He smirked, "I just talked to that doctor over there.

Ruzek glanced over his shoulder, "I said I was in Intelligence, she guess I was a Detective; and no before you ask I told her about Kim."

"What about me?" The woman in question came back from the washroom.

"I was just telling Antonio how beautiful you are," He covered his tracks.

"Uh-huh," She rolled her eyes but kissed him.

"Aw," Laura smiled at the younger couple, "Lets go Antonio," She took his hand, "Gabby and Matt got us a table, did you know Jay's brother is kind of cute."

"Ha-ha," He rolled his eyes, "You don't like guys like that," He kissed her, "He's arrogant and cocky."

"Sounds like someone I know."

"See I-" Antonio glared at Ruzek and he stopped talking.

"Good," He nodded at Ruzek and then left with Laura.

"Ah there's my brother," Gabby smiled as they approached, "We were just talking about brothers. You know how annoying they can be," She smirked.

"Oh yeah I was talking to Jay just the other day about sisters. They can be so bossy. Wouldn't you agree?"

She narrowed her eyes at him and glared at Matt as he tried hard to stifle a laugh, "Men," She huffed.

"Here, here," Erin Lindsay agreed smirking at Jay as she did so.

"Sound asleep," Matt placed Ellie in the cradle and kissed her on the on the forehead. Turning back to the bed he watched, as Gabby got ready for bed. She had just changed into one of his t-shirts and only that. "Gabby…" He moaned out her name. They hadn't been intimate with each other in months and seeing her like that only brought out all of that need.

She turned and walked to the bed, "I'm ready," She sat in his lap and wrapped her legs around his waist.

"Gabby," He wanted her so badly it hurt but he wanted her to be sure; he never wanted to hurt her.

"It's been a month," She kissed him, "I'm sure."

Matt's lips grazed hers and she granted him entrance and soon they were kissing and taking off each other's clothes.
