Chapter 14

Thank you for reading my story and leaving a review.

"Hello?" he picked up the call as he was getting in the truck after talking to Gabby.

"Casey, can we talk, please?" she tried to hold her anger. She doesn't like when someone says what she has to do and it was exactly what Casey did.

"Now you want to speak with me, hun?" he responded while he gave a sign to Otis to drive.

"I think I have to..." Gabby sighed rubbing her forehead.

"You liking it or not, I'm your baby's father, Gabby. You will have to talk to me and discuss everything that involves him..." Otis and everyone in the backseat of the truck didn't know Gabby was pregnant and the tone in Casey's voice showed them that Gabby and Casey weren't in good terms.

"All this is crazy, do you know? I was the one betrayed and here you are mad at me-"

"I'm not mad at you-" and it was when he noticed that he had some pairs of ears paying attention to his conversation. "Look, this is not the best way we have this conversation, tomorrow morning I'm going to your house..."

"I don't want-" she started but was cut off.

"It's settled, Gabby, bye!"

"What? Casey, Casey!" she called but he had turned off his phone, she huffed when she noticed it.

"You're okay, Dawson?" asked her parter as he approached her.

"Hey... I'm good, just..." she thought for one moment. "Forget it... I'm fine..." she gave him a half smile.

"All right... Anytime you want to talk I'm here..." he returned her a smile of his own.

"Thank you..." she said before she leaves. Tyson watched her leaving, taking some time to appreciate her lower back, he had lust in his eyes. Gabby was a attractive woman and Tyson was known for flirting with girls on the firehouse. He was waiting to have some luck with Gabby too.

"Nice friend you are, hun?" Shay said unimpressed.

"You too?" Gabby protested as she was recollecting her stuff before to finish the shift.

"What me?" Shay spoke taking one more look on herself at the mirror.

"You are mad with me as Casey is, now you are calling me to state that..." Gabby sat down on her bunk.

"Oh, I heard earlier that he paid a visit to you. I think that things went down again?" Shay closed her locker.

"Yeah... First, I want to say you sorry, I just made a decision on the heat of the moment and asked to Chief Boden to move here... he didn't take it well, however he signed my transferring..." Gabby knew she should have told Shay about her decision, Shay was not just her partner, was her friend and like a sister too.

"Just don't do that again, okay? You're my partner in crime, I don't function without sassy Gabby and this firehouse is not the same without you..."

"I'm sorry, I will make it up to you, okay?"

"Fine... So how are you and the baby?" Shay saw Otis coming in up to the locker room.

"We are good, thanks. I just threw up three our four times but we'll survive..." Gabby smiled as she put a hand on her belly.

"And about Casey, did you discuss again?" she asked almost whispering, Otis was not too close, but he liked gossip.

"Yeah, he wants me to move back to 51 and he will find another firehouse for him... Of course I don't agree with that, but he didn't let me say it, he stormed out of here before I could..." Gabby sighed putting a hand on her face.

"Don't get angry... but move to another firehouse wasn't a good decision, Gabby. You know Matt, he will want to know every detail about this baby, he always wanted to be a father. You can try to run away from him, however you won't be successful with that..."

"I know... and it is just killing me... I never envisioned have a baby like that, distant from his father..." the tears were already making appearance in her eyes.

"I have to tell you something, actually two things..." Shay took her bag and walked out the locker room.

"What is it?" Gabby wiped some tears.

"Truck and squad alreay know that you are pregnant. Don't ask me how... but Capp came to me asking me about it..."

"Shit... I... didn't tell anyone because is still earlier... you know..." she was frustrated.

"Don't stress yourself with that, after all they are family..." Shay opened her car door.

"You're right, it just saved me time to tell everyone... So what else do you want to tell me?" Gabby heard the ring assigning the team was free to go home.

"Before you go all Gabby Dawson, let me finish what I have to say, okay?" Shay was protected inside of her car before the first drops of rain.

"Okay, though just know that I am already worried..." Gabby said walking to her car.

"Hallie was here and she and Casey had a conversation, I mean, it was most a discussion... I was passing by... you know and I heard everything..."

"Leslie Shay..." Gabby laughed.

"So Casey let her say all she wanted to him and basically she said she loves him bla bla bla and told him what you spoke to her at barbecue, so she implied then you two are done-"

"And we are, believe me-" Gabby said angry. "I just can't with those two, I can't-"

"Listen, after her blew out, Casey spoke exactly this: "I helped you as a friend, strictly like that and now you are anyone to me. I don't wanna see you again and I don't want you nearby me or Gabby or this house, you understand me? I love Gabby and I don't care what she said to you, we are not done, I will fight until the end to have her back with me." Then he opened the door of his office and said to her get out.

"He did that?" Gabby asked with wide eyes.

"He did... yeah girl... he caught me observing them, but thank God he said nothing," Shay closed her eyes thinking of that, he expression was not good at that moment. "He stayed in his office until this morning..."

"It doesn't forgive that fact he lied to me, Shay..."

"I know, but you can see he loves you, and he didn't cheat you..."

"Yeah... let's see... Anyway I am going home to meet him. After he left, I called him... We are going to talk..."

"It's a good start, Gabby. Let me know how everything went, okay?" Shay noticed that rain sat down and decided to drive, she still was at the firehouse parking lot.

"Okay, I will. Thanks for calling."

"Always, bye..."

"Bye..." Gabby checked the hour, Casey probably was already waiting for her.

When Casey watched Gabby parking in front of her house, he left his car. After Gabby locked her car, she saw him coming close to her.

"Morning..." he was the first to speak.

"Morning..." she answered dryly.

"I brought your breakfast, I am assuming you didn't have one..." he handed her a bag.

"You didn't have to..." she protested as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Can you just accept it, please? Everything shouldn't turn out in a discussion, Gabby..." Gabby observed him for a few seconds and took the bag.

"Thank you..."

"You're welcome..."

"Let's get in..." she said and walked to the front door, he followed her steps. She opened her door and she let him in first and then her entered and closed the door. They walked into the living room. "Take a seat..." she told him and she sat down.

"So... how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm good I think... just a lot of sickness, but it's common, so hopefully it will end in a couple of months..."

"Do you need anything right now?" Matt wanted to provide what she and his child needed.

"No, we don't need anything, we are... we are good..."

"Okay..." he looked at her intensely, and that was in certain way making Gabby uneasy.

"Matt, I wanna make a deal with you..." she intertwined her fingers. He narrowed his eyes, he wouldn't accept any condition involving his child.

"What is it, Gabby?"

"I want to stay at firehouse 88, it's not fair you leave 51, so we stay where we are and you can call whenever you want, of course respecting my schedule at work, you know my routine... you can text me too..."

"I don't like it..." he said quietly upset.

"I know, but you have to respect my wishes, Matt..." He thought for one minute...

"Okay, however I want to review it some time later..."

"All right, we can do that..."

Matt locked his eyes with her. "I... I didn't notice any change in your body, you know before..." Gabby knew what he was trying to say.

"Me neither... after I came home and looked at me, even there I saw nothing..."

"And now you can see something different?" he asked.

"Sometimes I think so, sometimes not... it's crazy..." she smiled.

"You're gonna be a great mom, Gabby..."

"Thanks, I hope you're right..."

"I know we talked about the Hallie thing, but I just want to say sorry again, I never thought that we would end up like that-"

"Matt..." she tried to say. Matt got up and started to pace in Gabby's room and spoke what was on his mind. He didn't know if it was right but he couldn't let everything fall apart between him and Gabby.

"... and you are right I have to respect you and what you want... I can't force you to love me after everything I did..." he put a hand covering his mouth, it was hard to him say those words.

"Matt, I-"

"Adding stress at your life right now, it's not the best idea... I won't do that... maybe this time apart will be good for us and our baby..." he finally stared at her. Gabby wasn't expecting to hear that. He was really thinking that to not stay together was better for them? she asked herself. Actually he was wishing she would say otherwise.

"I... I..." she wasn't prepared for that after what she heard from Shay. What changed his mind? "Yeah, you are right..." it wasn't what she wanted, but decided against it. "It's better this way..."

He nodded after he listened to her. "I have to go..."

"Of course..." she got up. He walked to the door.

"If you need something, call me..."

"I will..." she responded. After close the door, tears rolled down on her face. Her heart was hurt more than ever.

This fanfiction is coming to an end. So what are your expectations?
