Gabby drove to the entrance of the hospital where cars were allowed to stop to pick somebody up and she stopped the car, Matt waiting for her there and she leaned out of the window, kissing him very quickly.

''Hey handsome.'' She said, happy to see him again after the twenty-four hour shift and he laughed.

''Better get in the car now.'' He said, looking at the cars driving their way and he walked around the car, getting in.

''How did it go?'' She asked as they drove away again and he kept smiling: ''Mike is very proud on how fast I am in improving...next week I might even get rid of these things.'' He said, hitting his hand on the crutches that he was holding.

Gabriela kept looking at the road but smiled. ''That is really great news.''

At home they immediatly made lunch as they were both starving. It wasn't lunch time but because Gabby just came from shift and Matt from PT they were both hungry and greedily they ate the sandwiches. This afternoon they would hop into Molly's for a bit and tell the others about their engagement and after that they would go to her parents. Sure, he had asked her dad before he asked her and her dad had given him his blessing, but her mom didn't know it yet.

Matt grabbed her plate as well and he walked to the dishwasher to clean them away. Although it was still hard walking without help it was getting better and he coult walk this unaided. Gabby looked worried when he turned and he shrugged: ''I can do it.''

''I know.'' She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around him as he rinsed the plates in the sink, something he always did before putting them into the dishwasher. He turned around and looked her in the eyes.

''What?'' He finally asked.

''Sorry.'' She said, letting go of him and he frowned: ''No need to apologize. I was just worried what was wrong as you looked so worried.''

She sighed, leaning against him again and he leaned against the counter to keep his balance.

''It is not that I don't trust you, I am just worried you are still not telling me if something was wrong. I don't know if you are having a headache, or forgetting things again and it worries me. I am worried you don't want to worry me and you are lying about how good you are doing.'' She finally said.

Matt frowned. ''Babe, I promise, I am not hiding anything. I am really okay and that is not so weird after the surgery. I am okay and not bad is going to happen anymore, I am sure of that.''

He laid his hand under her chin and looked her deep in the eyes.

''I promise.'' He said, really honest.

''Okay.'' She finally sighed and she kissed him again. They walked to their bedroom.

''Are you going to shower first?'' Gabby asked, knewing they had to get ready for this afternoon and especially for her parents, they wanted to dress up a little bit better.

Matt shrugged.

''How about we shower together?'' He said as he pulled Gabriela against him. She chuckled.

''Do you think we can manage that?''

''I guess we can.'' She said with a smile and she took his hand as they walked to the bathroom together.

An hour later they left the apartment, both of them ready for their afternoon out and Gabriela rubbed over Matt's clean-shaven cheek. After he had been so close to losing him she only loved him more, especially now they were engaged and she couldn't keep away from him.

His hand caressed hers as she was ready to change the gear to drive away. His fingers felt the ring and she looked up one more time at him before driving away. First they drove to Molly's and when they got out Matt walked without his crutches.

''Can you manage that?'' She asked worried and he nodded, walked towards her a little awkward and laid his arm around her. ''Now I can for sure.''

They walked inside and although it was still afternoon, a few men had already gathered here.

''Beer?'' Herman greeted him, high fiving him.

''Nah, a cola will do. I am still on medication.'' He sat down next to clarke and greeted him and Severide and Shay. Gabriela sat down on the other side.

''Did Gabby let you after shift?'' Clarke laughed and Gabby looked at hi'm.

''What, you think I don't let him out?'' Gabby laughed and the other did as well as Hermann served the drinks.

''by the way, next Friday night I will start to do the Friday nights again.'' She said to Hermann, as she hadn't been working in the bar recently. The man nodded and Matt wanted to offer he could take a night as well but Hermann already walked away.

''By the way, prepare your mailbox, we have an inventation for your that we will send...well...soon.'' Gabby laughed and Severide looked at her hand and Clarke followed what Severide was looking at and surprised they looked at the ring.

''Are you getting married?'' Clarke asked surprised.

''Hell yes.'' Gabriela said so serious the men started to laugh and they congratulated them, cheering with their drinks Matt asked Hermann to give Clarke and Severide one for their marriage and take one himself.

''Nothing for the soon to be married couple?''

''No, we have to tell the parents of the bride.'' Matt said as he finished his drink and he and Gabriela went back to the car. In the car he got more and more nervous. Yes, her dad had given him his blessing but wat if the mom didn't like it?

As soon as Matt's finger hit the doorbell her mother opened and invited them in and asked what they wanted to drink.

''We were actually wanted to go out for dinner, as we have something to celebrate.'' Gabriela said and her mother frowned.

Proud Gabby showed her hand to her parents.

''We are getting married.''

Her mother loked so surprised and happy at the same time it was almost funny. Her dad did seem very happy, but not as susprised as her mother as he already had known that Matt was going to ask her. Her mother started to cry as she hugged the both of them and stammered that she and her dad had to get dressed a bit more dinner-worthy and Matt and Gabby waited in the kitchen. She sat on his lap as he sat down in one of the chair and rubbed over his back.

''They are happy for us.''

''Ofcourse, they want to see you happy.''

''But they also like you, so they are also happy for you. They want us both to be happy.''

The way they were sitting now reminded her of the time they had been sitting like this before and he bow his head to check his watch and again she could see the scars on the back of his head, but instead of one there were three now. She kissed them again and he looked up with a smile, kissing her playfully on the mouth now. As they heard footsteps coming from the stairs they broke their kiss up and Gabby jumped up. Matt rubbed over the back of his head.

''Did I hurt you?'' Gabby asked worried.

''No, I just wanted to make sure there was no lipstick on the back of my head.'' He smiled as he stood up as well.

Her parents entered the kitchen and they walked away. As they walked to the car her mother looked up to him. ''I am sure you are going to be a great husband for my daughter.''


NOTE: Yay for happinness! I am sorry that them telling about the engagement is kinda the same as it is in another story, but I like the idea of them telling it at Molly's. I hope you do as well.
