Matt let go of her hand as they were almost inside the firehouse. Although everyone knew they had a relationship, they tried to act like it had been before, because they knew people didn't like them being too sticky at work. Neither did they want to be too sticky, to avoid uncomfortable situations for the others.

Gabby joined Shay at the ambulance while Matt walked to his office. Sitting down at the desk he laid his head in his hands. He had expected it was just sore because he hit is head, but the pain was becoming worse and worse every minute.

''Babe?'' He looked backward, surprised.

''Are you okay?'' She walked up behind him, rubbing over his shoulders and massaging his back.

''Yeah, I was just reading this.'' He held up the paper that was laying on his desk as he read more often with his head in his hands.

''Are you sure?'' She said worried.

''Can you stop checking on me? I am fine. I just need some time to read these papers for making a report about the last shift. Do you think you can leave me alone for the next hour or so?''

Oops, that was not he wanted to say, not at all. He just wanted to read these documents to forget about the headache, but it was pain talking now.

Gabriela looked hurt and turned around and walked away and Matt jumped up.

'Babe, I didn't mean it like that, but I am fine, okay? Stop worrying.'' He said as he pulled her in his arms.

''I know, I am sorry for being so attached, I was just worried about what happened this morning, your head seemed to hit the wall really hard. I am just worried to lose you again.''

His head had hid the wall very hard indeed and Matt was a the point of telling how bad his head hurt and that she might be right, when the alarm went off and they were called away. Casey also ran the truck, knowing somebody elses life had to be saved first now.

When truck 81 and ambulance 61 arrived at the factory Matt was shocked to see the man laying under the fallen iron beams. The man was crying and seemed at the edge of panicking.

''Can you tell me your name?'' He kneeled down by the man as Kelly and the other man were looking on how they were going to lift the beams.

''Mike.'' The man groaned.

''Okay Mike, I am Matt. We are going to get you out of here.''

The man suddenly grabbed his arm. ''Am I going to make it?''

''Sure you are, Mike, but I need you to stay focused okay? I know it is hard, but we can't lose you to shock.''

Mike nodded and Casey looked as the truck and squad started to raise the beams.

Mike seemed to panick again as the man were still busy with the beams.

''Hey, can you tell me something about your daughter?'' Casey asked as he looked at the tattoo that said a girls name and a date on his arm. Mike looked up to him and started talking about his daughter. Casey tried to keep responding which got harder and harder as his head kept pounding. A few minutes later they could carry the man out to ambulance.

''Good work talking to him.'' Boden knocked him on the shoulder.

Walking back inside after the call Matt acted like he was walking to his office but instead he walked to the toilets, running into a stall as he crouched down, afraid he was going to throw up because of the pain. It felt like somebody was hitting his head with a hammer. After a few minutes he thought it was better but as soon as he stood up his head started pounding again and he leaned over the sink, one hand going to the pills in his pocket.

Maybe he should tell Gabriela by now, but he also know she would be extremely worried about him, probably would bring him to the hospital straight away and he didn't want to worry her. It was probably just from the fall this morning. The last thing he wanted was for her to feel guilty. He had been teasing her in the shower and it was an accident.

Matt looked at the two pills in his hand. The last time he had taken those were more than two weeks ago because he knew they would make him drowsy and he didn't want that at work, besides, his headache hadn't been this bad for the past few weeks. He could at least take one, just to make the headache bearable. When he wanted to tuck one back in his pocket the door suddenly opened and he was startled. His hand suddenly shook and the two pills fell down the sink, into the drain.

''Don't worry, I won't tell anyone you were busy doing your make up.'' Kelly joked as he saw Matt's startled face. Matt laughed a little nervous and he turned back to the sink, hoping the pills hadn't fallen down but he felt desperate when he saw they were gone.

''Good job at the factory.'' Kelly hit him on his shoulder as Matt acted like he was here to wash his hands.

''Thanks. You did some good work as well!''

Both men stood there in silence as Matt wanted to walk away.

''Hey, I know I said it before but I am going to say it again, I am really happy you are here again.''

''Thanks, I am too.'' Matt smiled back and he walked to his office. He tried reading the papers again but he couldn't even focus on reading with his head feeling worse and worse and he cursed himself for dropping the pills.

''Hey babe, how is the report coming?''

Matt smiled at her as she handed him a plate with food; ''We are having dinner, maybe you should join us.''

''I am not so hungry.'' Matt mumbled as he handed the plate back, afraid he wouldn't able to keep the food down.

''Matt you got to eat something.'' Gabriela shoved some of the pasta on the fork and brought it to his mouth while she sat down on his lap.

''Really, if you want to keep reading to badly I will feed you.'' She said, as he was still looking at the paper without really reading. He was just afraid Gabby would find out he was in pain.

''Open your mouth sweetie.'' Before he could even object she shoved the food in and he tasted it.

''Mmm it's good.''

''I know, I made it.'' She smiled and he started eating, laying the papers aside. Maybe it was better to eat something after all he thought while eating the pasta.

''You know, I have more pancakes and fruit for tomorrow morning so we have some after-shift breakfast.''

''You spoil me!'' Matt said as he hugged her and kissed her in the neck.

''Love you.'' She kissed him on the cheek as she grabbed the now empty plate and left his office before Boden or somebody else would see them like this and Casey sighed again. Maybe he should tell her now, so he could go home and go to bed. Instead he just stood up and walked to the small bed in his office and laid down on it. The pounding in his head became even worse now as he laid down but before he could even stand up again his eyes fell shut and he was no longer able to keep his conciousness.

NOTE: What is wrong with Matt? Will he finally tell Gabby or won't he even get the chance?
