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.
''Thanks.'' Matt smiled as Gabby was trying his shoelaces. Because he could not do it with only one hand.
''Of course, if I don't do it you will probably end up falling and breaking something else. You are unlucky enough.'' She smirked then and she got up then, kissing him on his head and Matt went to the baby room. Yesterday they had done some shopping for the baby room and today Kelly would come to help him because he could not do it with his one arm.
''Are you sure you want the work on it today? Didn't the doctor say you needed to rest as much as possible?''
''He did, but I am not a person to rest.'' Matt said and she wanted to object but knew that objecting was useless for Matt. Matt was trying to start out a bit when he was alone there, waiting for Kelly as Gabby was going to Laura. He tried to get everything ready but it was a bit hard and h sat down then, waiting for Kelly. But it could not get him down. Mentally he was finally feeling so good again. His shoulder had been killing him last night but he didn't care. As long as he was feeling well and he no longer thought about Nesbitt, he was feeling great. His shoulder would heal, but his family was rebuilt and that would be forever.
There was a knock on the door and he walked there, opening the door for Kelly.
''Thanks for helping me out.'' Matt said as Kelly came walking into the nursery.
''Thought I'd give you a hand.'' Kelly teased him.
''I have got a hand…I just can't move my arm.'' Matt smirked back but he was glad that his friend would come help him out with the nursery. Gabby told him that it looked perfect already but there was so much more Matt wanted to do about it.
Kelly started helping with getting the wood ready that Matt wanted to make a chest from to put the toys in and Matt sat down beside him.
''Oh look at you prince lazy bum, going to let me do all the work?'' Kelly teased him against as he was smoothening the wood but Matt grabbed then one of the papers for smoothening as well and tried to smoothen the wood beside him with one arm as much as he could.
''So…you faced Nesbitt? How do you feel about it?'' Kelly asked then. It was not just that he wanted to help Matt with the nursery now he had broken his collarbone, but he also wanted to see how his friend was doing.
''It was good. I feel a lot better now.'' Matt said and he was glad he could be honest about it now. ''He was trying to get to me and he didn't and I am happy about that.'' He said then and Kelly smiled at him, just really happy that he did feel better. He could see that Matt was already doing a lot better, somehow he just seemed a little better.
''I just didn't let him get to me.'' Matt said then.
''That is great. I am really happy for you.'' Kelly said and they tried to keep working on the chest that Matt wanted to make but he had to stop really soon, his shoulder hurting him too much.
''I think we need to stop soon, at least I need to stop soon.'' Matt said then and Kelly nodded, knew that his friend still had a lot of trouble with his shoulder and while Kelly made them some coffees, Matt sunk down on the couch, angry he was beaten by his collarbone.
''Here, I got you one of the ice packs from the freezer.'' Kelly said as he handed one of the ice packs in a cloth to Matt and Matt put it on the color bone, leaning back as they were enjoying their coffee.
''I can't wait to have you back at work again…I mean you, want to come back, right?'' Kelly asked then
''Oh yes. As fast as possible.'' Matt said. ''I really want to get back to work.''
Kelly nodded happy. He was so glad that Matt had faces Nesbitt. He seemed so much better now, like he finally had overcome this when he realized that Nesbitt was just a man that was locked up now.
''I hope I can get back to work soon. I know that it will still be at least weeks before my collar bone is healed…but still.'' Matt said as he sipped some more coffee.
''I know, but you need to make sure you are ready.''
''I am ready to have a normal live again…and that I get back to work and wait for our little daughter to arrive.'' Matt said then and Kelly nodded.
''I can't wait for you to be a daddy with Gabby…it will be great.'' Kelly smiled and Matt nodded so proud that Kelly was almost smiling.
Later that night, Matt and Gabby laid together in bed, Matt caressing her head as she was watching the TV show.
''How are you?'' She asked worried then.
''I am all good, just keep watching your show.'' He said as he kissed her on her head, Gabby laying against his good side and he had his free arm on the baby bump.
''Are you sure?'' She asked then as he didn't seem to fine and turned around then, kissing him as she was on top of him now.
''Be careful.'' He said worried as she kissed him again.
''I won't touch your shoulder.'' She said then as she moved closer and caressed the side of his face and sat down on his lower stomach, kissing him in his neck.
''Gabby I meant be careful with the baby bump.' He smirked then but laid his one hand in her neck and they kissed again.
''Gosh I love you…I knew we would get through this.'' She said softly and he smiled at her.
''We will be all good.'' She kissed him and they shared another passionate kiss. Carefully they made loved, Gabby trying not to hurt him.
''I love you so much.'' He whispered then as she laid her head on his chest, laying against him on his good side and panting a bit from making love.
''Gosh I love you…and I missed you when you were gone…but we are starting over now…and we have never been this happy before.'' She said then and he kissed her on top of her head.
''We are going to be great parents…and I love you so much.'' He said and they fell asleep in each other's arm, hopeful for the future.
NOTE: Matt has less trouble talking about what happened now and he finally opens up to the men at the firehouse. He finally talks a bit more and finds more support there and surprised Gabby with something. What will he surprise her with and how will it be when he gives it to her when her family is there?
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.
