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.
''Matt!''
He felt something on his face and when he opened his eyes, he saw Gabby was leaning over him and he rolled onto his back.
''I – I…'' Matt just said as he carefully sat up and she helped him up.
''What happened?'' She asked worried, not wanting him to get up before he would faint again.
''I took some sleeping pills.'' He said then, rubbing his hands over his face, hoping that he would feel a bit better but he felt dizzy and confused.
''Matt those are really strong, one was really enough, why would you take so many?'' He said then, feeling really bad.
''I just want to sleep.'' He yawned and she helped him get up and they walked to the bed. He was feeling so sick because of the medication that he was falling asleep already on the bed and Gabby laid down beside him. She wanted to ask him what he was doing and why he had taken the pill to fall asleep but since he was already asleep now there was not much she could do, but it worried him and it took a long time before she finally fell asleep as well, worried about him.
When she woke up the next morning he was gone and walked to the kitchen she found him there making breakfast, as he usually did now for her. She was feeling a little sick in the mornings because of the pregnancy.
''Matt, we need to talk about what happened last night.'' She said as she stood behind him and he turned around
''Yeah. I couldn't sleep…and I am sorry.'' He said then. ''I should have taken one but I took a few more because I was so desperate to sleep.''
''You cant do that Matt…I was so worried…why couldn't you sleep?''
''I don't know, just lots of thoughts in my head.'' He said as he was plating breakfast for the both of them and she wished that he would just say what were the thoughts about.
''Well, about lots of things, about the baby mostly.'' He said then and she kissed him.
''don't worry about the baby, you are going to be a great dad, I know you Matt, you are going to do great, I promise.'' She said then. She was still suspicious but she just wanted him to feel comfortable talking and if she kept saying that he had to tell more she would maybe just upset him more. Finally he smiled and they shared a kiss. Even though she kenw that he maybe was not completely honest, she just wanted him and them together to be all right.
One morning later
Matt was getting ready as he had a shift again. He had just packed his bag and stolen some of the cupcakes that Gabby had made so he could share it at the firehouse and she came walking down the stairs.
''Look at you, walking down the stairs in the morning and not even puking.'' He smirked and kissed her.
''Look at you, lieutenant.'' She said as she kissed him, although he was not in uniform yet but she was happy that he seemed to feel so comfortable to go to work again.
They had breakfast together and she was just happy that he would be okay, hopefully.
''Have a good shift.'' She said then and they shared another kiss before he walks out. She waved in the doorway as he drove away and hoped that he would be all right. Although he still seemed to be so okay she still was scared that something was wrong.
Matt walked into the firehouse. Kelly was sitting at the squad table and still looked at him. He had expected Kelly would come up to him and that he would talk to him but then he looked away from Matt. Matt kept on walking to changing room and got changed and ready for his shift. He was feeling a bit better than two days ago and last night he had actually slept well, even with only 1 sleeping pill but he hoped that he could just keep up his act that he was going great.
The candidate greeted him and looked at him then.
''Lieutenant, would you able to do some drills with me?''
''Uhm…ask Herrmann.'' Casey said then, feeling a little bad that he just shook the candidate off like that but walked to his office then. He really felt like he couldn't deal with anything at this hour.
He was barely at his office when the first call already came in and they were called out to a big burning house with multiple floors and he was looking around then, looking for any more of the people living there.
''Casey, Nesbitt has got Gabby, they are in the attic.'' He suddenly heard Kelly's voice through the radio and Matt turned around then, he was ready to run to the attic.
''Casey get out of there!'' He suddenly heard through his radio as Boden was giving orders. ''Everybody is out, get out, now!'' He yelled but Matt kept on running.
''no, Kelly said I had to go to the attic.'' Casey as he was running up the stairs. He ran up the other set of stairs to the attic then, ready to find Nesbitt and Gabby there.
Boden was looking as Kelly was walking out of the building. He frowned as Kelly was hitting against his radio.
Kelly sighing and cursing the batteries of his radio because in the middle of a fire, it seemed like that it was not working and he was sure it was the batteries. He had tried to swap them over in the firehouse but then the call had come in and he had hoped the radio would last another call but it was not working against.
''Chief, my radio is not working.'' Kelly said then and Boden frowned.
''But Casey said he was going to the attic because you told him too.'' Boden said and Kelly looked confused.
''I didn't tell him anything…my radio is not working…'' Kelly said worried and they looked as the house was burning out
''Get Casey out!'' Boden said then and Kelly wanted to walk to the house, when the roof suddenly collapsed.
NOTE: Matt woke up again when Gabby tried to wake him up and they talked a bit about it and he said it was because of the baby and she just wanted him to be comfortable talking and they made up, after which he went to shift the next morning, Kelly not talking to him but then Matt went up to the attic when he thought Kelly said something to his radio, eh is sure not fine but what happened now!
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.
