Isn't this Chapter cute? It's one of my favourites I think. Boden looking after Brett, Antonio being cute with kids, Gabby and Sylvie having a heart-to-heart. Enjoy it!

"Brett, could you step into my office for a second?" Boden asked, standing in the door of her office. Sylvie nodded, heading toward him. She was getting a lift back to Gabby and Matt's from them, but she knew they'd wait for her.

"What's going on, Chief?" She asked, closing the door behind her and taking a seat in front of his desk. She hadn't heard any news since the fire at the warehouse three days ago. "Is there news on the threat?"

Boden shook his head, sitting back down behind his desk. "No, I just wanted to check on how you're dealing with all of this. I know you're staying with Dawson and Casey for the time being, but it's my job to make sure you're feeling safe, especially while working."

Sylvie nodded enthusiastically. "I feel perfectly safe on the job, Chief. I'm surrounded by so many people who I know have my back in any situation. Everything's going really well. There hasn't been a moment where I've felt unsafe when I'm with Gabby and Matt or at work."

"I'm glad to hear that, Brett," Boden smiled, nodding at her. "You're free to go. Enjoy your day off."

She smiled back at him and stood, grabbing her bag off the floor beside her. "Absolutely. You too, Chief. Thank you for checking up on me."

Sylvie woke up from her nap just after 12:00pm. They'd gotten back to Matt and Gabby's just after 8am and Sylvie was glad to be able to have a sleep after such a busy few days and a very, very long shift.

She could hear noises outside her room and sighed, pulling herself from the comfort of her bed and fixing her hair and getting rid of the sleep in her eyes in the mirror beside her bed. She'd shoved on a pair of comfy pyjama pants - blue and covered in white fluffy sheep - and an old shirt before heading to bed, but she looked presentable enough.

As soon as she stepped out of her room, she wished she'd changed out of her pyjamas and into a pair of jeans or something.

In the living room, Gabby and Matt sat together, both eating some type of sandwiches. Across from them sat Antonio, with Louie sat on his knee. Sylvie internally groaned, but since her room was in perfect view of the living room, there was no turning back now.

She sighed and stepped forward, smiling at Gabby who'd turned around to see her. "Oh, afternoon, Sylvie. Sleep well?" Gabby asked.

Sylvie nodded at her, walking into the kitchen. "Yeah, it was good. Definitely well needed." She replied, grabbing the loaf of bread from the counter and working on making her own salad sandwich. She worked in the kitchen, occasionally listening to whatever Gabby, Matt and Antonio were talking about.

She'd been thinking for the whole time since her last Molly's visit about Antonio and how he'd asked if he could buy her a drink. That night, she'd fallen asleep with the biggest grin on her face, and it had barely left now. The fact that he was at her place now made her grin even more as she buttered the bread.

On occasion, she'd glance up at him. Louie was sitting on his knee, and she had to admit that the sight of the two of them were adorable. She knew he had kids, but they were older now, and Louie was still very young.

"Anyway, I've got some good news," Antonio finally spoke, looking up at Sylvie and back to Gabby and Matt. "We've been working hard at the station, and we've finally got a decent lead on the case. The files at that warehouse have been incredibly helpful in trying to figure this all out. We've already got the details about the man and woman you two saved from the fire, but we're working on details for a third accomplice. We've got the second in custody since yesterday."

Gabby grinned, "Damn,Tonio! That's so great. I'm so happy to hear that."

Sylvie nodded back, slicing her sandwich in half. "I agree. It's really good you guys have been working so hard on this case and I really appreciate everything you've been doing." She moved to sit on the couch beside Antonio, sending him a quick smile before taking a bite of her sandwich.

"We wouldn't do it any other way. You two are family to all of us at the station, whether related by blood or not. We'd do anything to keep the two of you safe," he nodded. "But the patrol cars will still stay on watch until we can guarantee that any threat has disappeared. We're not sure how many accomplices there are, but as soon as we know, you'll know too. You two still have to stay safe, especially you, Sylvie. We don't want a repeat of what happened with your car."

Sylvie agreed with him, taking another bite of her sandwich. The last meal she'd had was a packet of original chips at 1am while trying to calm herself down from one of their calls where a mother and father almost died. It was comfort food, she told herself. It was okay to eat stuff like that at 1am sometimes.

She looked over to Antonio again who was still talking to Matt and Gabby, catching Louie's eye she sent him a smile, which he slightly returned. As soon as she'd finished her sandwich and sat the plate down on the coffee table, Louie reached his arms out toward her, and she gratefully took him from Antonio's arms.

"You're ditching me, little man? For Sylvie? Aw, come on," he chuckled, shaking his head at Louie who had settled happily into Sylvie.

He sent a grin toward her, his eyes shining at her and making her stomach do backflips as she smiled back at him. In that moment, Antonio realised he'd never really seen anyone as beautiful as Sylvie looked in that moment.

Antonio had been at the house for just over two hours now, talking to his sister and Matt and enjoying time with Louie, and more recently, Sylvie. He had to admit that she looked adorable, half asleep as she appeared in the living room. But the time to get back to work came much too soon and Sylvie offered to walk him to the door. She handed Louie back over to Gabby after she'd given Antonio a hug and led him to the door.

He stood in front of her, leaning against the door. "So, about that drink..." he began, not able to keep the smile off of his face at the thought. "When are you free?"

Sylvie thought for a moment. "Well, it's Sunday now. My next night off will be Tuesday. Does that work for you?"

Antonio nodded at her. "Tuesday, 9 o'clock at Mollys then?" He asked.

"That sounds perfect." She replied, feeling the butterflies in her stomach.

Antonio grinned at her before unlocking the door behind him and stepping out. Sylvie took the door in her hand and watched as Antonio walked outside. "Oh, by the way, Sylvie?" He called. She nodded at him, urging him to continue. "Cute pyjamas."

Later that night Gabby and Sylvie sat with Louie on the couch. It was dark outside now, and Matt had gone to meet Severide at Molly's. Louie was fast asleep in Dawson's lap as she stretched out on the couch. They both had coffees sat on the coffee table and had recently indulged in some really delicious takeaway Pizza from a shop just down the road.

"Sylvie, can I ask you something?"

"Yeah, go for it." Sylvie nodded, looking over at her.

"Do you like my brother?"

Sylvie cringed, not wanting to be interrogated by her best friend and possible romantic interests sister. "Um, I do, yeah. Why?"

Gabby turned to her and grinned. "You do?"

She nodded at her again.

"If you two get serious, don't break his heart," Gabby frowned. "He's already had that before with his ex-wife, and it was messy and tough. He doesn't deserve that from anyone. I know your past, with your ex-fiancé and everything. But Antonio's a good guy. He deserves everything good in life. And if he's turning to you to give that to him, I trust him. I know you, Brett."

"I'm not going to break his heart, Gabby," Sylvie sighed. "I've been in a serious relationship like that too. And even if I don't have kids, I can handle them. If I wasn't planning to be all in with Antonio, I wouldn't be in it at all. I'm not that kind of girl."

Gabby nodded at her. "I know you're not Sylvie, don't worry. I just wanted you to know what my thoughts are on this situation. But do note, I am completely okay with you two becoming a thing around here. You'd be good for each other."

Sylvie sent Gabby a kind grin. "You really think so?"

"Oh, hell yeah. You're the sweetest girl I know, Brett. And while Antonio's a toughie on the outside, he's a real sweetheart on the inside," she agreed, not taking her eyes off of Sylvie's. "But can I request one thing, real quick?"

Sylvie nodded, confused.

"If you're still living here when you first have sex, please don't be too loud."

With a groan of embarrassment, Sylvie threw the pillow she'd been holding over her face, sinking into the couch. She didn't miss Gabby's soft laughter, though, and knew that if Louie wasn't asleep on her, she'd definitely be laughing much, much louder.
