So I've finally gotten my itch back to start writing again. I'm sorry for being absent for so long but finding motivation lately is difficult. I've thought of a new storyline and it will follow events that have happened in the start of season 4... of course its dawsey centric as well...please read and comment hope I'm not too rusty. The title of this new story is" Our Time Is Now"...enjoy...Jamie
Matt steps out of the driver side of his truck throwing is bag over his shoulder as he walks around the front of the cab till he reaches the curb." You ready for this?" He says to Gabby as she steps out of his truck onto the curb where he stands.
"Never more ready." She says smiling up to him as he grabs her bag placing it on his other shoulder." The doc told me I'm all healed and ready for duty." Gabby nudges her elbow into Matt's as they start to walk towards 51's door." Besides I can't watch anymore daytime soaps."
Matt chuckles smiling down at her but his smile fades quickly." Baby I know your fully healed, But I, Um just want to be sure your ready?" He finishes stuttering the latter part of his sentence.
"Matt." Gabby reaches out to grab his arm stopping their walk." We've been over this a million times, I'm fine...truly." she tries tries to reassure him and he finally nods in agreement after a few seconds." I promise if I'm not ok I'll tell you."
Gabby then turns to continue walking into the firehouse." Yeah." Matt mummbles concerned before falling into step just behind her.
As the walk through the apparatus floor no one is around, not until they walk through the common room doors do the hear an assembly of "welcome back." And cheering as the members of 51 come to great their friend Gabby.
"I'm good guys." Gabby says after a round of hugs." It's great to be back." She says before slipping her bag off Matt's shoulder." I'm just going to get changed out." Gabby whispers to Matt as everyone else disperses back to what they were doing.
With a nod he watches with a concerned look as she turns and walks out." How's our girl Lieutenant ?" Hermann comes up clapping Matt's shoulder.
"Ok, so she says." Matt shrugs then looks off in the direction in which Gabby just exited the room." They say time heals all wounds...right?" He finishes saying then turns back to look at Hermann." It's been 6 weeks, but I can't get her to talk about...about." Matt swallows hard unable to finish his sentence.
"How are you doing?" Hermann asks seeing Matt at a loss for words.
Matt's eyes snap over to Hermann looking at him with a raised brow, but then his features soften." I'm, well... I guess I'm just." He stutters some more on his words before the bells go off.
"Saved by the bell." Hermann mutters under his breath as he watches Matt's retreating back then follows step a few seconds behind." Let's go there young one." He teases Gabby as she rounds the corner heading for the same door." Bet you missed this?" He chuckles but curses himself internally.
"It's great to be back." Gabby gives a sincere smile as she pulls her turnout coat on." Feels like I haven't missed a day." She finishes before glancing over to Mat giving him a warm smile as he returns it with a wink of the eye as well.
Truck 81, squad 3 and ambo 61 race through the streets of Chicago sirens blaring as they approach the burning structure." Look there." Otis shouts over the sirens as he points ahead." This ones burning strong." He says as everyone looks ahead seeing the smoke filled sky ahead and the orange glow coming from the windows.
Matt jump out of truck 81 as it came to a rolling stop, taking in the scene as the rest of the crew exit the truck." Help, help." Called a faint voice from the side of the house.
"Do you hear that?" Matt looked at Severide and Paterson as they approached now too.
"Up there Casey, Severide." Boden shouts as he hops out of his truck pointing to the third story window on the east side of the structure. A women perched on a tiny peak of the second floor roof crouched clinging to the window she just stepped out of holding new born baby.
"Casey she's going to jump." Severide yells as they both take off running in her direction seeing the smoke filtering out of the window is making her choke." Miss you need to move back to the window, it's not safe where you are." He shouts looking at the flames shooting out of the window below her.
"I, I ...can't." She stutters in fear clinging her baby to her chest tighter." You need to help us." Her panic level rising by the second." Get us down...please."
"We are coming for you." Matt shouts back as he glances behind him seeing the members of 51 masking up to enter the structure." Just please move back to the window."
"I, I just I can't." The women says nervously as she looks back at the window a few feet away." It's not safe."
"It's safer then where you are now." Severide calls out taking a step closer to get a better view of the women and child." Casey." Sev turns to him ." She can't go back to that window look at the smoke." He says as both men glance up at the dark smoke pouring out of the window she came out of." We need to get them down out here."
"The ladder won't get close enough there is too many flames from the first to floors." Casey answers as he thinks." Look over there." He points to the adjoining peak to the roof , just then a small fire ball erupts from the window below the women setting her panic level into over drive. She starts to move wanting to get back to the window she came out of but her foot caves in to a part of the roof that is collapsing from the heat below. She twists her ankle loosing her balance and her weight sends her forward off the roof.
"Casey." Severide yells as the sprint forward watching as the women's head hits the gutter on the house knocking her unconscious sending the infant on a free fall towards Casey's arms.
"I gotcha , I gotcha, baby." Casey soothes after he miraculously catches this newborn in his arm.
"Brett, Chilli." Severide shouts as he takes off running towards ambo 61 carrying the unconscious mother bleeding from the head who he managed to catch .
"We got them." Brett nods to both men as severide lays the mother down on the gurney, and Casey places the tiny baby in Chilli's arms, and watched speechless as they loaded mother and child in the back and sped off towards Chicago Med.
