Chapter 6

Gabby was sat on the common room with her head tucked in her hands. Two day has passed since Brett found Matt lying down on the floor of the bathroom and, since she found out that it was probable that she was pregnant with his child.

During those two days, she had been on the hospital on his side, taking care of him while he was running in fever. She knew that it was where she should be. Nevertheless, she needed to do something in order to keep her mind distracted of the shocking news that she received while she was in her house. The news that was going to disrupt her life, and probably Matt's life too after he finds out that she is pregnant with his child.

She had nerves on edge and couldn't wait longer to know if she was or not pregnant. Thus, that morning, she went to her doctor office, and he confirmed what the test revealed to her some days ago. She was pregnant. For being more specific, she was pregnant of 8 weeks. The news shocked her; she would never expect being pregnant of 8 weeks. How couldn't she notice that she didn't have her period during the last two months? It was so obvious now.

"Hey" Brett said sitting near to her "How are you?"

"I am fine. This morning, my doctor made me a test and it is true. I am 8 weeks pregnant"

"Whoa. Congratulations" she said happy hugging her "Do you tell to anyone yet?"

"No. I don't know what to do" she said "You are the only one who knows it"

"Are you thinking about...?"

"No. Absolutely not" she cut her "There is no way that I am going to interrupt this pregnancy" she said serious. Being a mommy was one of her dream since she was little and her sister in law birthed Eva, her gorgeous niece.

"I am glad of hearing it. But, you should tell to Herrmann at least. I mean, he is going to be your Lieutenant for a few days until Casey comes back"

"You are right, I should. Maybe I should give up on being a firefighter and come back to the ambulance"

"You shouldn't take decision right now while your feet are cold. Maybe, if you speak with Matt and explain him what is happening, you two could find a solution" she said trying to convince her for telling him the true

"I can't. Matt is in the hospital unconscious and unless you didn't notice it, we are having some relationship problems. I know that I screwed up that night on Molly's and, I tried to speak with him but, he refused to hear me" she made a pause and continued saying "I know some many couple that got married because of she gets pregnant and some years later they are getting a divorce and fighting for the custody of the child" she said referring to her brother, who was in that moment in the middle of a divorce process "I don't want that"

"In theory, I get that. But, don't you think that Matt deserved to know the true now instead of later when everyone know it?" she said looking to the guys that were on the couch looking a hockey match.

"You are right but, I need time. Maybe after Christmas we can try to meet and speak about it. I need time and he needs it too" and she got up of the plastic chair and went to her bunk with Pouch walking behind her. She needed to take a decision and, she needed to do it now.

Matt didn't know where he was, the last thing that he could remember was being pushed under the shower tap by Severide. After that, he remembered to hear the alarm. The next couple of minutes were blurring on his memory. He also remembered being in the bathroom for throwing up all the content of his stomach and after that, it was probable that he hit his head with the bathroom cover and lost his conscious.

He was feeling really bad and he was completely sure that he was running a high fever. He tried to open his eyes but, it was like if his body couldn't follow the orders that his mind gave. he was exhausted and his chest hurt each time that he tried to breathe.

"Matt" he heard Gabby's voice "I hope that one day, you can forgive me. I know that what I am going to do is not fair for anybody, especially for you. But, I have to do it. Please forgive me"

"Gabby" he tried to whisper but his throat can't pronounce it. It was really sore and dried.

"I will try to come back later but, I am not sure of when. I don't want to see anyone of 51 right now" she kissed him in his forehead and left his room "Bye Matt"

"Gabby. Hold on" he said before lost the conscious again.

While he was lost on his unconsciousness, some old and forgotten memories came to his mind. It was like if his mind was trying to give him a message; a message that at first he didn't know what it's meant.

His mind showed all the moments that he shared with Dawson along the last couple of years and, there was phrase that came to his mind.

"I've been thinking about it and the truth is I don't know where I'd be without you"

He remembered saying those words to her after saving her life when a car started to burn with them inside. Every single word was true, without her he wouldn't know where he would be in that moment. She helped him so much after Hallie's death.

In reality, she has been always there for him, even when he didn't notice it like for example after Andy's death or when Det. Voight was behind him because of the statement that he wrote when his son caused an accident. She was even there when he tried to push her of his life. She has been always there for him and, he wasn't able to return to her the favor. Now, it was his turn of being there for her and, he had failed because he was really selfish and mistrustful. She should have trusted on her, she would have never done something like Hallie did to him in the past.

Finally, exhausted because of the painkiller, his mind gave him a break and the memories ended not without showing him one last scene of Gabby's crying inconsolably after he told her that she was a whore.

The next time that Matt woke up, he was still feeling terribly and he was cold even though a thick blanket was covering his shaking body. This time, not only his throat was in pain, his head and every single muscle of his body was also in pain.

"How are you?" Someone asked from his left side

"Severide" he said moving a little his head but, the dizziness that he was feeling didn't let him to look his friend.

"Don't move" he said pushing his hand against his chest

"Where I am?" he asked disoriented

"You are in the hospital. You have been unconscious during the last four days. You were raving because of the high fever. We were really worried about you buddy"

"Gabby?"

"I'll bring you water. I bet that your throat must be really dry" He said avoiding speak about Gabby. He went outside and returned few minutes later holding a plastic glass on his hand and a straw on the other one. He put the plastic glass closer to his lips and Matt took the straw between his pink lips. Severide was right, until the first drops of water didn't cool his sore throat, he didn't realize how thirsty he was.

"Where is she?" he asked again after feeling a little bit better

"Matt. I don't know how to say that. I wish there was a easier way but, there isn't" he said looking to him "she left her spot on truck 81 two days ago and she moved out of your apartment"

"No. This has to be a joke" he said refusing what he had said. It was true that Gabby was hurt but, she will never do something like that to him. He knows her.

Severide looked him and shook with his head. It was hard to believe but, it was true. Two days ago, she asked to Herrmann permission to leave shift and go home. After his shift, he came back to the apartment for moving his stuff to his new house that he found and there wasn't any trace of her or of her stuff. In addition, the house looked like if she had left the house as fast as possible. He tried to call her but; she never picked up any of his calls.

"That is not possible, she has been here. I...I...I heard her voice" he stuttered "It's not possible"

"She left this for you" he said giving him an envelope with his name on it that he found on the top of the kitchen table.

"What is that?" he asked taking the note

"There is only a way to find out" Severide said rubbing his forearm "I will be outside. Call me if you need me"

Matt nodded and when he was alone in the room, he dared to open the envelope.

Hi Matt.

I know right now you may be angry because you know that I have quit on my spot on truck 81 and have moved out of our apartment but, I did what I did because I need it. Maybe this whole thing of us working together on the same truck is too big for us. I think that it is getting out the worse of us. I mean, you have been always trusting on me and, I have never speak about you behind your back and my behavior while I have been under your command was unacceptable.

I tried to explain you that nothing happened between Mills and me but, you refused to hear me. Sorry Matt but, I can't get married with someone who doesn't trust me. Please don't try to call me. I need time to figure out what it is next.

I hope that you get better soon.

Bye

Gabby

Matt re-read the letter at least two times and his reactions didn't take so long to show up. Angry, he tried to remove his IV for going to find her in wherever she was. She couldn't do that. She couldn't say sorry in a letter and break with him. He deserved an explanation.

"Matt what are you doing?" Severide said when he removed the IV on his hand and the wires of his chest.

"I am going to find her" he said looking his clothes

"Matt, you can't leave the hospital yet"

"I have to do it" he said desperate "I have to find her"

"I'm sorry man but, you can't. Give her some time" Severide said holding him

"Why? Why does she leave me?" He asked crying in Severide shoulder

"I wish to have an answer but, I don't have it" he said rubbing the back of his neck "I am sorry man. I promise you that I am going to help you to find her"

"I can't loss her" he said crying

What do you think? Do you like this new chapter?

In the next one, Casey is going to have an especial visit in the hospital that luckily, it will help him.

Please let me a review with your opinion or with any idea. For me it is really important since it is the only way in which I know if you like the fic or not.

Thanks
