Gone

Thank you so much for all the reviews on the previous chapter. I really hope that you are still interested in the story and that you want to see more. Please do really tell me what you think and be honest about it because I am really excited to find out what you think about this chapter.

Gabby and Matt sat in the back of the car with Antonio and they were just driving back from the hospital after Matt had had therapy and she just wished that she could get the man talking to each other as it was so awkward that neither of them was talking but they were both not talking. Matt was caressing her hand but didn't want to say anything and Antonio was silent too. They arrived back at his home and they got out of the car at his home and Antonio drove off soon to get the police station, as they were still trying to catch Nesbitt and Matt and Gabby sat together.

''Can you and Antonio please just talk tonight? I don't want you to keep being so cold to each other. I don't want to be right in the middle within the two of you…I love you and my brother so please just make up.'' She said then and Matt wanted to object but saw how Gabby looked like she was struggling.

''I will talk to him. I promise. I will try to figure it out with him.'' Matt promised then and Gabby nodded grateful. Being in the middle made her feel so stressed and she did not want to be stressed now that she was pregnant. Although it would not immediately be dangerous for Leslie she also did not want to risk it.

When Antonio came home later Matt was waiting for Antonio in the living room, a bit nervous to talk but knew that he had to talk with him. He didn't want Gabby to feel bad because things were bad between them because she was already worried enough with everything happening. Antonio sat down beside him and Matt had taken a beer for the both of them from the fridge and he handed it to Antonio with a smile. Antonio gave a small smile back as he sat down, not sure what Matt was going to say to him but he also knew that it was good they were going to talk this all out.

''I am sorry that you doubt if I can look after your sister and your little niece…but I can.'' Matt said then as he looked at Antonio. It made him sad that this brother in law did not seem to trust him. He knew that Antonio was just worried about his sister but it hurt mat that he was worried about Matt becoming a parent. He could do it and he didn't want Antonio to doubt him. He finally got over trusting himself and now he didn't want anybody else doubting him.

''I am really sorry if you thought I wanted to hurt her, I never wanted that. I never wanted to hurt her. When I was with Nesbitt and his men I tried to do everything to avoid giving any information on her because I wanted to keep her safe and didn't want her to get hurt.'' Matt said and Antonio started to feel bad now. He knew that he had bene judging Matt while Matt had tried to do the best as possible.

''Fine. I am happy for you and Gabby…I am and I hope that you can go home safe soon again…Gabby says that the nursery is starting to look more and more amazing.'' Antonio finally said.

''She really said that?'' Matt said happy.

''Yes, she thinks you are doing an amazing job. I am sure you are.'' Antonio smiled then and he got up to get another beer for him and Matt and handed Matt another one and Matt was staring in the in the flames.

''I never wanted to hurt Gabby. I hope she is not as hurt as I was…I…I don't want her to have gone through what happened to me. I tried to protect her by never telling Nesbitt her name. ….I never did…even when they hurt me I DIDN'T.'' Matt said then, hoping that he could finally prove to Antonio that he cared so much about Gabby.

''Sorry…I am really sorry. I am.'' Antonio said then.

''Don't be…but I promised to look after your sister and I will always do that. I did that with Nesbitt and I will do that now. I always will.'' Matt promised again and Antonio finally smiled a bit, happy that Matt was so honest with him. He really appreciated it and knew that Matt would stick to his promise to look after Gabby. He really loved her if he had endured all that pain to keep her safe and Antonio knew that he could trust Mat and he wished that he hadn't been hardheaded before and had just had a good talk with Matt like he had now. This had been so much easier and it wouldn't have hurt Gabby so bad if he had done that.

''I am happy you are back man…and that you are back with Gabby…and I was wrong for saying what I said…I am sorry.'' Antonio apologized again.

''I felt so embarrassed when you were there after I was found and I was a wreck…I am still a bit…. But…I felt so bad when you found me and I was sure that you would never allow me near Gabby again. But I promise that I will never hurt her again.''

''I know…thank you.'' Antonio said then and the man smiled at each other and where glad that they finally sorted it out. Antonio felt a bit sad that he had blamed Matt for hurting Gabby after all he had been through and was so glad that they had made up.

They finished their beer and walked up to bed then and when Matt walked into the bedroom, Gabby woke up and smiled at him and pulled him to the bed. Quick he got ready and laid beside her and kissed her in her neck.

''Me and Antonio made up.'' He said softly and she smiled.

''Good.''

''I know us fighting was hurting you and hurting you is hurting little Leslie and I would never want that.'' he said then and crawled in his arms and he kept caressing her over her back, holding his hand on the baby bump then as well.

Together they fell asleep, both hoping that they could go home soon and start working on their own little family again.

NOTE: Gabby and Matt are staying with Antonio and things haven't gotten any better between the man but Gabby asked Matt to talk with her brother and finally Matt and Antonio had a good talk and it cleared up a lot of things, which is better of all of them. Next up: Big progress in the search for Nesbitt
