Monday

The alarm on Gabby's phone woke her and Matt up from a peaceful slumber at five o'clock on Monday morning. Gabby groaned and turned it off and blinked her eyes a few times. "Matt," She rolled over so she was facing her boyfriend, "Matt," She tussled his hair, "Its time to get up."

"What? It feels like I just went to sleep a few minutes ago. How can it be morning already?"

Gabby laughed and kissed him on the lips and untangled herself from his arms, "We need to get up and get the twins ready for school and drop them off at my parents by seven twenty so that way we can be at work by eight."

"Ugh! That's to much math in the mornings for me." Matt groaned

Gabby climbed on top of him once again and playfully swatted him, "I'm already going to have to wake up to grumpy kids. Don't make it three," She flicked his nose before climbing off of him and proceeding to walk into the washroom.

Hearing the water start to run Matt tried to go back to sleep but the thoughts of Gabby in the shower, soaking wet, immediately woke him up. Climbing out of bed he quickly snuck into the washroom and wrapped his arms around Gabriela just as she was about to climb into the shower.

"Mind if I join you?"

"Not at all."

"Auntie Gabby," Eva yawned as she stares at the bowl of cereal in front of her, "I'm too tired to eat," As she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes. It was almost seven o'clock and Gabby had just woken the twins up while Matt got started on their lunches.

"I know sweetie, but Abuela and Abuelo had plans last night so we couldn't drop you off then."

With his hair sticking up in every direction a half awake Diego walked into the kitchen.

"Diego," Gabriela tried not to laugh, "Why aren't you dressed?"

"I'm to tired," He whined.

"I know bud, I'm tired too," She sympathized, "But we need to leave in a little under half a hour. Can you go get dressed for me?"

"Okay Auntie Gabby."

"Good boy."

"Lunches are made," Matt placed an apple in both lunch bags, "Now I wonder which one is Princess Eva's," He made sure Eva was watching before purposely putting her bright pink lunch bag into Diego's black CPD backpack.

"Nothatsmine!" Eva shouted, her mouth full of banana.

"Eva swallow your food before talking," Gabby handed Matt a cup of coffee.

Eva swallowed what she was chewing, "Matt, that's my lunch bag. The pink one is mine."

"Oh?" Matt did his best-surprised face, "I would have never guessed!"

"My favoritre colours are pink and purple," Eva reminded him for what seemed like the million time, "I already told you that."

"I know Princess," He took her backpack off the counter, "I was just teasing with you; I know Imi just want to make sure you have everything," He handed her the backpack.

"Okay," Eva looked in the backpack, "I have my agenda, my English and Geography binders and my pajamas and clothes for Abuela's and Abuelo's house."

"Good, now can you think of anything you're missing?" He asked as she put her lunch bag into her backpack.

"No," Eva looked up at him.

"I think you're missing this!" He scooped her up and hung her upside down and tickled her.

"Matt!" She giggled, "Matt!"

His heart warming at the sound of her laughter Matt kissed her forehead and set her on the ground.

"Diego!" Eva laughed as her brother walked back into the kitchen his hair even worse then before.

Diego made a face at her.

"Come here Diego," Gabby put her coffee down, "I'll wet your hair down and then we have to leave. You can have breakfast at Abuela and Abuelo's house.

It was a little after eight o'clock when Matt and Gabby walked into Station fifty-one; acting as normal as possible as they were still keeping there relationship a secret.

"Hey," Shay greeted the two as they walked into the locker room. "So how was your weekend with the little munchkins?"

"Exhausting."

"Yeah kids will do that to you; but motherhood looks good on you."

"Thanks," Gabby yawned as she put her stuff in her locker and put her hair into a high ponytail.

"What about you Casey? How do you like looking after the kids?"

Casey started at her "Wha-what."

"Oh I forgot to tell yeah but Shay knows," Gabby piped up.

"Yeah. Thanks for telling me. I thought we agreed to keep it a secret.

"She figured it out. I didn't tell her I swear"

"Yeah well you told Antonio."

"Antonio doesn't count. Besides we tell each other everything," Gabriela closed the locket.

"Yeah so he told me," Casey followed Dawson and Shay out of the locker room and into the common room.

Gabby laughed.

"A fire fighter?" A boy with short dark blonde hair asked, "No way! Did you see the truck?"

"No," Diego shook his head, "But my Daddy has and he says its pretty cool."

"Hey Eva," A boy name Hunter spoke as Eva took her seat across from him. "Diego was just telling me how your Aunt's boyfriend is a firefighter."

"Yeah, he's really cool," She said, "I like him. He's cute and strong."

"Oh," Diego rolled his eyes, "He's not cute."

"Says you! Firefighters are all cute! That's what Auntie Gabby's friend Leslie said."

"Leslie's gay," Diego reminded his sister.

"My friend has two mom's," Hunter commented, "Is it like that?"

"Yeah but Leslie doesn't have a girlfriend," Eva informed her friend and classmate.

"So far no calls from the school. I'd say that's a great start" Gabby said as Station fifty-one sat down to have lunch.

"Way to jinx it Dawson," Mouch spoke up.

"Oh you don't really believe that," Shay sided with her bestie and fellow Paramedic.

"How is the babysitting going?" Herman changed the subject, "How old are they again?"

"They're eight and it's good. Except they didn't like being woken up at six thirty this morning."

"Ugh, why so early?" Severide asked.

"Because I needed to get them to my parents around seven thirty for us to get here at eight for our shift "as Gabby explained.

"Is that what your brother and his wife do everyday?" Ottis asked, shocked that anyone could handle doing that five days a week.

"No, no my sister in-law owns her own bakery so she has a flexible hours, The twins usually walk to school on their own at nine and then she picks them up at three thirty."

"No wonder they were tired, they have it easy," Severide commented, "By the way are they coming over here at three thirty?"

"No they're staying overnight at my parents place," Gabby explained as the call bell rang.

"You did? Gabriela talked to Diego on her IPhone as she walked towards Matt's office. Closing the blinds she continued to listen to Diego speak. "Okay Diego," She sat on end of the bed, "I'm going to put you on speaker phone now…" She laid her phone on the bed and pressed the 'speaker' button.

"…And then we met Abuelo at work and we went out for dinner!" Diego continued to explain to his Aunt.

"Wow that sounds like a lot of fun. I'm in Matt's office and we're on speaker phone."

"Hi Diego," Matt greeted.

"Hi Matt," Diego replied.

"Did you have a good day at school?"

"Uh-huh, my friends think I'm lucky because I have a father who's a detective and that my aunts boyfriend is a firefighter."

"You are pretty lucky." Matt told him.
