Gone

Thank you so much for all the response! Please do enjoy this chapter and tell me what you thought about it at the end!

She looked as he was getting changed and she tried not to look at his back, but it seemed like her eyes were still pulled to the scars. He was turned away to the wardrobe and caught her looking at his back in the mirror.

She looked down, feeling but finally he started talking then. She looked up a bit surprised but tried to listen to him and support him as he was talking.

''They….they told me to…they kept telling me to talk…but I didn't.'' He said as she pulled him closer. His lip was shaking as he was trying to keep the tears from flowing. What he was saying was not making a lot of sense to her and she did not want to upset him again.

''They told me…they told me that they would let me go….so I told them…again that I didn't know…'' He said then and she stood closer to him. Maybe talking would make him feel better. She stood close to him and caressing him over his arm, hoping that he could finally talk about.

''Did they let you go then?'' She asked hoping that it would keep on talking. But then he walked away from her and walked to the baby room, grabbing a brush again and he started to paint the wall that they hadn't gotten to yesterday. She stood in the doorway, looking as he was doing the work and knew she had pushed him too far and he did not want that. She felt bad for pushing him too far.

She knew it had been hard ever since they found him back but she just didn't want to see him hurting.

He just kept on painting and she helped him. At least they got to spend time together now.

''Come on…we should go eat something…we can go out for dinner if you like.'' She said and Matt was silent for a second and nodded then and she took his hand as they walked to the car and they go tin. She was just happy that he had finally talked to her but she knew she had to tell his doctor about this. It made her sad to hear what they had all done to him.

She drove to the Italian that they both really liked and he held the door open for her. He was smiling a she looked at the menu and Gabby looked aise then,s aw the woman on the table beside him looking at them.

''That is the man that was in the paper. He was missing.'' The woman said as she looked at Matt and Gabby was sure that she didn't want them to hear it but Matt did hear it and looked down at his plate. He put one elbow on the table, it was like he put his hand against his ear as he did not want to hear them talking about him. Gabby looked at them and tried to look a bit angry, hoping it would shut them up.

The woman looked down now as their food arrived and Gabby was just happy when Matt was eating and he actually seemed to enjoy it.

''Hey, how are you doing?'' The woman suddenly said as she got up and walked to their table. ''I saw something happened to you in the paper.''

Gabby tried not to get mad as this was none of her business but she still talked to him and she knew that it would upset Matt and that made her so angry.

Matt just looked at her, shivering a bit but he got up then and walked away. Gabby looked as he walked to the bathroom and looked at the woman then

''Okay, why? Why do you have to walk up to us?'' She said upset.

''I was just wonder-''

'''He is not doing well as you can see.'' Gabby said angry and she got up then. She paid for her and Matt and walked to the car with him now. She was just happy that he was not crying but he was shaking a bit but smiled at her then.

''Dinner…dinner was good…'' He said slowly and she smiled again.

They went back inside and he smiled again at her as they walked to the bedroom.

''By the way…we can go by the firehouse after you have been to the doctor tomorrow…they are all excited to see you.'' Gabby said and Matt nodded with a smile as he got undressed and she walked to him and wrapped her arms around him and kissed him on his neck.

He turned around then and looked at her.

''All those scars….they worry me…'' She admitted then.

He pulled free from her embrace and sat down on the edge of the bed. He looked down but looked up then.

''Every time…I said I didn't know…I said I didn't know about all of…. I didn't know all about his operations…and they hurt me…'' He stammered then and Gabby just felt so bad. He was shivering a bit but kept on talking then.

''They told me…they told me that they would hurt people from…people from the firehouse…and they said they would hurt you…'' He said then. ''And I just…I just didn't want anybody else to get worried except for me…''

Gabby finally sat down beside him and held him, holding him tight as he was shaking again but glad that he was finally talking again. They laid down as she kept holding him and he calmed down again.

''You should tell the doctor tomorrow about the scars on your back and what happened when they kept you captive.'' Gabby said as she caressed the side of his face and he nodded.

Then he pulled her closer and he laid his hand over the baby bump that was slowly getting bigger and bigger. It was not big at all but it was visible.

''I am so happy to have you….'' He whispered softly then.

''I will be here for you every step along the way.'' She promised and he smiled at him. ''Just take it a step at the time, tell us what happened but don't upset yourself.''

He nodded and they shared a kiss before falling asleep, Matt finally sleeping calmly in her arms. She tried not to shivering because of what they told her today and she felt so bad what they had done to him, but with all the excitement he seemed to have with their upcoming baby and that he kept talking a bit more and even talked every now and that was enough to believe that it would all be fine.

NOTE: Matt has been talking a bit but also struggled a lot as he talked a bit about what happened and he even got so upset that he walked back to the room to paint and so he did not have to talk again but when they went out for dinner another woman came up to them to ask about him because Matt has bene in the paper as a missing person and it upset him but he did open up a bit later and said that he is so happy that they are together and that she is here for him through all of this. Big chapter coming up with Matt visiting the doctor and the firehouse.
