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.
This story will be over in 3 chapter after this one so that it will be 35 chapters in total. I hope you are okay with that but I don't want to drag it out to long and I already planned the ending.
6 weeks later
''It was a hell.'' Matt joked then but he was so happy to be back with all the other firefighter at the firehouse. He had missed then and it was good to be back.
''how is your shoulder?'' Otis asked then.
''All good, just took a bit longer to heal than expected.'' Matt said then and he was just happy to be here. He walked to the locker room and got changed into his uniform.
''Glad you are back. I really missed you a lot.'' Kelly said then as he walked in after Matt.
''I missed being here. Missed goofing around with you.'' Matt said as he tie his shoelaces and as Kelly walked out, he grabbed his phone and texted Gabby. When he had gone out this morning she had still been asleep. She was so tired now because of the baby only being a few weeks away. He just hoped that once the baby was born, her head would be cleared up again before she would do something stupid because of all the pregnancy hormones.
He walked to the kitchen and grabbed his usual mug. Months ago, when Nesbitt has still had him, he had never even dared to think about coming back to the fire station but he knew that he was back for good now. Back to work at the fire station and no more setbacks.
As he was leaning against the cupboard, Herrmann asked then how he was doing.
''How is Gabby's pregnancy going.''
''Decently. She has some back problems and some swollen feet but nothing really serious.'' Matt said. He was just so nervous about their baby coming up in just a couple of weeks. He was just nervous because their lives would change a lot but it would be great that they would be parents. After being through all of this he was so happy that everything was looking so good now. He was happy that he and Gabby were doing so well together after all that had happened and that they were even ready to be parents soon. It would be a big change but it would be amazing
''Come on candidate. Take Pouch out already, she is impatient!'' Herrmann said as Pouch was pulling the leash as the candidate was still struggling getting ready to take the dog on a walk.
''You are being slow. Even Pouch is getting impatient.'' Matt teased the candidate and the candidate hurried out and the men laughed.
It felt so great to be back and Matt felt like he was finally really back. This time he was ready and he had never felt better. Being here made him feel so good and he was glad. It had been hard to get back here and even more because of his setback but he was good now, ready to get into this again.
''Want to play along?'' Cruz offered him as he, Otis and Brett were playing a game of cards but Matt got up then, there was a stash of report on his desk that he wanted to catch up with so that he knew what had happened when he had been gone. Or at least what big calls had been happening when he was gone.
Matt was in his office. He just tried to comprehend that it was all good now, that his life was all good now. It was just that he still could not believe that he had gotten through all of this and that he would be a dad in just two months with the love of his life
The alarm went off then and he jumped up, running to the truck.
''You are slow!'' He said as he pushed the candidate forward as the boy was just running so slow but they got all in the truck then, Matt climbing in the front. It was weeks ago but it was the best place he could imagine to be now as they rushed to the scene.
The call was a hectic one and Matt felt a bit tired as he was done because he was not used to it anymore but since they had been able to safe everybody from the big car crash and it made him feel good. In the truck back he checked the text from Gabby as they rolled back into the station, the candidate suddenly tapping him on his shoulder.
''Can you go over some drills with me?''
''No, sorry, I am in the middle of catching up of all what I have missed.''
''You are not a great lieutenant then. You are gone half of the time and have not even tell me why. '' The candidate said as they got of the truck.
''I do not wish to be disrespected on my own truck. I know I have not been your lieutenant a lot, but I have got my reasons for that so that is none of your business.'' Matt said then and the other men stood behind him to back him up.
''Sorry. I didn't mean it like that.'' The candidate said then, ashamed a she looked down and Matt just let it pass then and walked back to his office, spending the rest of his shift to catch up on all the calls that he missed by reading the reports.
Matt went home then in the morning, so happy that he saw Gabby again. Although he was so happy because he was back at the firehouse he was also happy to see her again. He just wanted her to be good and she smiled at him as he slid beside her in bed.
''Not out of bed yet?'' He asked softly.
''No, I am just tired.'' She sighed and he laid close against her, laying his arms over the baby bump and they were dozing off together, Gabby was just tired from being pregnant and cleaning the whole house and not sleeping well, worried because he had his first shift again but he had been doing great. She just smiled because she was just happy about it.
''I am so tired.'' He complained then but he was so happy to keep holding her and knew that he was just tired because it was the first shift in a while and it had been a busy one.
''We can sleep for a little.'' She said then and together they fell asleep, happy because everything was going so well and with only nine weeks left before their little girl would be born, it would only get better and better.
NOTE: Matt went back to work and although it took him a while to get used to it again, he was just happy to be back and that everybody was excepting him back, although the candidate was a bit rude but he was also happy to be home with Gabby again and they are excited about becoming parents very soon…and will the baby be here next chapter?
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.
