One day later
Matt woke up beside Gabby. He had finally had a goodnights sleeping together and cuddling with her after the great day they had had yesterday. Slowly he walked outside, being really silent so that Gabby did not wake up and he could surprise her with breakfast and that he would bring it up to her in bed. His thoughts were lost about what had happened yesterday though when he was pretty sure that it was not the man that was working for Nesbitt, he was still a bit concerned. But he was pretty sure he had just imagined it now.
Gabby came walking into the kitchen and was smiling at him then.
''Oh wow….that is amazing….I am feeling so big though.'' She smirked as she rubbed over the baby bump.
''That is not just the baby…that is all the spring rolls from yesterday.'' He smiled then and she smirked.
''You should be sweet to me.'' She smirked as she sat down by the table and he put down breakfast on the table. She smiled at him as he was making fresh orange juice for her.
''What would I do without you.'' She sighed as he put the orange juice in front of her and he smiled softly and sat down as well for breakfast.
''Are you feeling better now?'' He asked concerned and she nodded.
''yes, I do feel better. But no more spring rolls.'' She smirked then.
As she was getting showered he cleaned the kitchen. He wanted to get back to work, to show that he was ready but he was not sure how Gabby would react to that.
But he had make the decision now and after he made some phone calls and his doctor had cleared him he walked upstairs, grabbing all his uniforms from the closet that were mostly just thrown in there.
''I am going back to work next week.'' Matt said then as he was folding all the uniforms.
''Are you sure?'' Gabby asked as she was not so sure if he was ready yet.
''Yes….I want to start working again and bring money home.'' He said and she took some of the uniforms, grabbed some more the shirts and helped him folding.
''I don't want you to feel like you have to go back to work because we otherwise won't manage, we will.'' She said as she helped him getting everything back in the closet. Although she was still worried she was also proud that he wanted to get back to work.
Later that evening, they were waiting for Kelly to come over the see the Blackhawks. Matt had arranging some more things for getting back to work. He had bene worried that his psychologist wouldn't clear him but he had cleared him. But he was glad when Kelly was here and he could shift his mind so somewhere else.
Kelly came walking in and kissed Gabby on her cheek, hugging Matt.
''Great you wanted to come over.'' Matt said then.
''hey, I will never say no to beer and Blackhawks.'' Kelly smirked as he carried in a six-pack of beer and brought it to the kitchen.
''Gabby has been busy to make food for during the match, just grab something while you can before she eats it all again.'' Matt joked and Gabby hit him with a towel she was holding, but was glad that he was doing like this. It seemed like he had made major jumps in his recovery and everything was like old times again.
They made their way to the living room when Kelly took a small back from his jacket.
''I got this for you. I hope you like it…'' He said as he handed it to Gabby and she opened it. There was a belly band in it with the sentence ''Matt did it'' on it and both of them laughed.
''Oh I love this.'' Gabby smirked as she hugged Kelly and Matt nodded.
They all got settled in in the living room and were ready for the match. Gabby was laying down in the reclining chair, rubbing over the baby bump with the food close by while Matt and Kelly were just yelling at the television, yelling as they felt like they knew better what to do as the players.
''I am going to order a pizza.'' Gabby announced then as she got up and the man laughed. She ordered a pizza for them as well and Kelly smirked.
''Are you sure you are not having twins….I mean…you are eating for 3.''
''It is only 1, a girl.'' She smiled and Kelly laughed happy.
''That is great.'' Kelly said then and they continued watching the match when in one of the breaks the doorbell rang and Matt got up to get the pizzas at the door.
Matt walked to the door to get the pizza and when he opened it, the pizza boy was standing there, holding the pizza, still having the helmet on his head. For a second he was pretty sure that it was the man that he had seen at the pier.
Worried he wanted to step back but when he turned around for a second and turned back he saw that it was not the man that he had thought it was. He took the pizzas and paid for them and walked back to the living room. He was not sure if he should tell Gabby about this but he knew now that it was not important. He had seen it was not the man and he plated the pizzas.
They continued watching the match, Kelly leaving soon and Matt pulled Gabby down beside him then.
''my feet are sore.'' She said then and before she could even ask, Matt started to message her feet and she smiled at him.
''I love you.'' She smiled then and they shared a kiss as she laid down against him.
''Matt…I am just a bit worried about you going back to work. Maybe it is too soon.'' She said then but he shook his head.
''I will be fine. I promise.'' He said then and Gabby nodded. But she kept being scared. He seemed to be doing so well right not but she was still so worried that he would crash and burn. He had still not talked about his captivity a lot and she was still scared that he will have a big setback. But she knew that she also had to take trust him and when he said that he was ready she should trust him.
''I did this.'' Matt joked then as he laid his hand over the baby bump.
''I am happy you did.'' She said as she kissed him against his temple, hoping that he would not crash and burn, that he could go back to work and that all would be fine. But she was still scared.
NOTE: Matt still seems to be doing okay while he is also worried about what he saw yesterday but is not showing it to Gabby. But he then made the decision that he was going to work again also for Gabby and the baby and assured her that he would be okay and they had some fun when Kelly came to go watch the match and the pizza man came, which gave Matt some weird thoughts again and Gabby is still worried, but he assured her he is fine. Will he be fine and especially when he goes back to work?
