7 days later

Gabby walked into the house. She just came back from shift and although he was on light duty, it had still been good to go on shift. She walked back into the house and she felt so tired. She knew that it was because of the baby that seemed to be sucking energy as well but she was still so proud that the baby bump was starting to show a bit more. It was like they were getting closer to being parents.

She heard something in the baby room then and at first she was not sure what it was but then she was really sure that it was a drill then and when she walked onto the hallway and to the baby room she saw that he was drilling the crib together and it was almost done. She was surprised because it looked so nice but then she was even more surprised that he was working on the baby room this early in the morning.

''Hey, you should still in bed…'' She said then as she walked into the baby room and she was wondering if he had even slept at all. When she had left he had still been working on the crib and now it was almost finished.

Besides, he was still in the same clothes as he had been yesterday morning.

''Couldn't sleep.'' He just mumbled and she walked to him.

''The crib looks amazing…'' She smiled then and kissed him on his temple and she dragged him up then and when she looked at his face she was sure that he had not been sleeping. There were dark circles around his eyes and she dragged him along to the bedroom.

''Aren't we going out with Kelly today?'' Matt just protested but she laid him down in bed then.

''You should catch some sleep. '' She said then but he shook his head.

''No I want to get ready to go out for lunch with Kelly.'' He said then and he got up and showered and she just sat on the edge of the bed. She was so happy to have gone on shift but she knew that had not been a great idea to go to shift and just leave him alone. He seemed to be doing okay except that she was sure that he did not sleep.

Matt came walking back from the bathroom and rubbed the towel over his hair and for a second it was like they had just moved in here, before all of the mess had started and he had gone missing.

''How was your shift?'' He asked then when he came walking from the shower and grabbed his clothes and she smiled.

''it was good, it was nice to be back. You don't mind me being back on shift, right? Probably just a bit longer before you are back on shift too.'' She said then and for a second she saw some doubt in face, probably about the fact if it bothered him that she was back on shift but he shook his head then.

''No I don't mind….I mean….by the time I am back you might be off shift again because of maternity leave.'' He joked then as he kissed her on her forehead and she smiled as he was getting better, at least it felt like that and it felt like old times as they got to the car and drove down the restaurant where they often had lunch and they sat down then.

Matt looked at Kelly and Gabby as they were bickering about the sport match that they had watched on shift and he tried to talk along, but had not watched it because he had been working on the baby room.

''What do you know about sport?'' Kelly said then.

''Apparently more than you.'' Gabby huffed.

''It was the referee!'' Kelly mumbled then.

''Oh no! That was not the fault of referee!'' Gabby bickered back with Kelly and when they looked aside, Mat was fast asleep. His head was on his arms on the table and Kelly looked at Gabby.

''He didn't sleep at all last night but he refused to go to sleep this morning.'' Gabby said softly and she laid her hand on his shoulder, but Matt stayed fast asleep. Kelly and Gabby finished their drink soon and they left.

''I am so sorry…I mean… I ruined the lunch.'' Matt said then a she was so tired and he felt really bad about falling asleep in the restaurant and he just wished that he would have gone to sleep last night but all the scary thoughts in his head had kept him away as he was scared for nightmares.

Kelly drove home himself and Matt tried not to feel bad as they told him not to feel bad and they laid on the bed then.

''Sorry I am so tired…'' He said then.

''Don't feel sorry because I am tired too…we can just sleep now.'' She said then and she kissed him then.

They laid there for a few seconds and she knew she had to ask then.

''Why did you not sleep last night?'' She asked then.

''Nightmares…'' he admitted then as she kept caressing him over his head.

''But you have been sleeping before.'' She asked then as she was so not sure about it.

''But…but you were there….you were holding me…'' matt said softly and she felt crappy now for going to shift. She knew that she had to go work but she felt bad that she could not have to gone to shift so he would have gone to bed.

She kept holding him and caressing over his head and finally Matt fell asleep again and she just kept holding him as he was asleep again and soon enough she fell asleep as well. Hopefully they could work this out, because they could not always sleep together.

Could they still overcome his nightmares?

NOTE: Gabby came back from the first shift that she did on light duty but then she found that Matt was still working on the baby room but he did not sleep at all last night but shrugs it off then and they went out for lunch with Kelly but while Kelly and Gabby were bickering he fell asleep in the restaurant and at home he admitted tha the did not dare to sleep without her because of the nightmares and finally they fell asleep together, but that is still having to work on that.

Thank you so much for reading, I hope that you enjoyed this chapter just as much as the previous chapter. Please do tell me again what you think by leaving a review and hopefully I will see you again next chapter.
