Author's note: Hey everyone! So I have decided to continue this story… Maybe it was better as a one-shot, but I have so many ideas, I need to continue! This story will be a little more dramatic than "She's the one" which was dramatic as first but now it's just love and happiness!

I hope you'll like this new chapter and the story.

I apologize for some grammatical errors or conjugations, I do my best.

Have a good read and don't forget to review, it's always a great motivation!

GABBY'S POV

I wake up slowly at the sound of the birds which sing outside and of the sun, which gets through the curtains of this room which is ours. I slowly remember the events of last night: the dress, the door and this kiss, which ended in a big night of love with the man I love after months of separation. By thinking again about all this, I cannot refrain from smiling even with the eyes closed.

"Why are you smiling?" Matt's sleepy voice gets me out of my thoughts. He is facing me, his arms wrapped around my waist and his hands on my lower back.

I put a sweet kiss on his lips before answering: "I was just thinking how amazing it is waking up and feeling the warmness of the person you love next to you…"

"The person you love… Hmmm, really interesting! Does it mean we give us a second chance and a fresh start?" he asks me. I know we can't avoid the subject forever and we have a lot to talk about. One night of love will not erase the last few months.

I caress his torso before looking him straight in the eyes: "I'm so sorry Matt; I should have talked with you before run away… But it was hard, this whole situation was hard and I was totally lost… I thought spending some time apart will help us, but I was wrong… It only took us away from each other… Waiting was hard, but spent as much time alone as I had to, if that meant getting to spend the rest of my life with you was all I wanted…"

"I forgive you Gabby... We have both our wrongs in what happened. The main thing is that you're here speaking to me right now. Thank you for opening yourself to me..." he says before kissing me on the forehead.

"I wanted to, I'm sorry to have pushed you away…" I apologize to him, sincerely.

"It's ok, baby. What are we doing now?" he asks me, unsure.

"I don't want anyone else to have your heart, kiss your lips, be in your arms, and be the one you love… I don't want anyone to take my place…" I open up to him.

"Well, Gabriela Dawson, this is perfect, and you know why?" he teases me.

"No, tell me…" I smile.

"It's perfect because I want to kiss you, hug you, hold your hand, sleep next to you, wake up next to you, show you off the world and cherish every second I have with you. I want to love every part of you FOREVER!" he tells me, putting sweet kissing on my cheeks, lips and neck. He has tears in his eyes saying that, and I feel bad to have hurt him so much.

Some tears build into my eyes too: "I love you so so much and I want you to know that I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. It wasn't my intention at all…"

"I know! Fresh start Gabby!" he says before kissing me passionately.

MATT'S POV

I go away just a little from Gabby and sit down on the bed. She puts her head on my lap and I caress her hair. These mornings together had terribly been lacking to me.

I take my serious voice and ask her: "Gabriela Dawson, will you move back with me in our apartment? This place is not the same without you…"

Gabby raises her head, and smile to me: "Yes, of course, there's no place I rather be". I take her in my arms; it feels so good to have her back. "I have one more request…" she says, looking me seriously.

"Yeah, tell me!" I answer her.

"Could I still be your fiancée?" she asks me with brilliant eyes.

"Hmmm, let me think about it…" I tease her. "Of course, you're the love of my life and I can't wait to marry you. But, I'm warning you; I'm not doing a third proposal…" I laugh, she laughs. All is perfect. I get into my feet and go to the dressing to take her ring.

"Fine with me, I just missed my beautiful ring as much as I missed you…" she says, lying back in the bed.

I come back from the dressing room with her ring tidied up in its case. I jump on the bed and position myself on top of her.

"Miss Dawson, would you honor me with being my fiancée again?" I ask her, amusedly.

"Yes, yes, yes, and yes!" she answers, laughing and using the same words like our engagement night a few months ago. I cross the ring in her finger before kissing her fervently. This kiss escalates rapidly to more passion.

We make love again, just enjoying being reunited and this time forever.

GABBY'S POV

Two hours later, we're lying naked in bed. It's almost 10am, it's our day off and I could stay here all day. But one more question is still on my mind.

"I really like the idea of these mornings in bed like that…" Matt tells me, kissing me on the neck. My back is against his chest and his hands are on my hips. When I don't answer, Matt asks me: "What's on your mind baby?"

"I was thinking about our work situation, this whole lieutenant/candidate thing… It was so hard the first time for both of us… Now, what are we going to do?" I ask him, turning around in his arms to face him.

"We'll get through this, I promise… You're a hell of firefighter Gabby, and your candidacy is almost over…" he answers me.

"Do you think it's preferable to keep secret the fact that we're back together and…" I start speaking before being interrupted by a big noise coming from the kitchen.

Matt looks at me laughing: "You mean, keeping it secret from the guys? I guess it's possible, but for Severide, it seems really complicated!" and we laugh.

"Do you think he will be happy that I'm back?" I ask him, worried with my stomach growling, I'm so starved.

"I guess it's the perfect time to tell him, I know a lady who is hungry!" he tells me, getting up and putting a boxer and a tee-shirt. "Let's go take a great breakfast, we have deserved it!" he teases me.

"Yeah, I'm coming!" I tell him when he passes the door of the bedroom.

MATT'S POV

"Sev, thank you for that very loud wake-up call!" I laugh, entering the kitchen.

"I guess with all your activities of last night and this morning, you needed some wake-up call!" he teases me. "So, you took another unknown girl home? Where is the Matt Casey I know?!" he asks me.

"You have no idea what you're talking about…" I simply answer, taking a cup of coffee.

"Oh come on, Matt! Don't play this game with me! The noises I heard were pretty clear!" he laughs.

"I don't question it! I'm talking about the girl, it's not a random girl meet in a bar… I made this mistake once, not twice." I tell him, sitting up at the table.

"So who is this mysterious girl?" Severide asks me, when he hears some steps behind him. He turns around, and he sees Gabby with tangled mess hairs and wearing one of my CFD pull-over. "YOU TWO?!" he asks. "SERIOUSLY?" he asks again, looking at me and Gabby alternately. We both nod, smiling.

"Yes, I tell you, one mistake, not two…" I say, getting up from my chair to give a cup of coffee to Gabby who's now sitting next to me and facing Severide.

"Is that ok with you?" Gabby asks him shyly.

"Of course, we all know you two are made for each other. I'm really happy you're back together, you both deserved joy and happiness." He tells us, smiling. "Shay will be really happy you don't waste some more time for any petty differences!"

"Thank you!" Gabby says before eating the pancakes I just serve her.

I sit next to her, and start explaining to Severide: "But we think we will keep it secret at the Firehouse. It's better for everyone and especially for Gabby. She will not have to support the childish comments of the guys anymore. On my side, I shall try to keep some distances and make efforts to act as her lieutenant while we are on shift…"

"Are you conscious that keeping distances also means no naughty meetings in your office or in the showers…?" He says, really proud of him when he sees us blushing.

"I have no idea what you're talking about!" I answer him with a blink eye, while Gabby doesn't know what to say.

"So lovebirds, what are you doing today?" Severide asks us.

"Well, I was thinking you could help Gabby moves her affairs back in the apartment, if it's ok with you?" I ask him, before feeling Gabby's big brown eyes staring at me.

"You're not staying with me today?" she asks me disappointed.

"I'm sorry baby!" I say, putting my hand on her cheek. "I have a construction job for a few weeks, and I still have a lot to do…"

"Oh ok, too bad… I thought I will spend the day with you…" she says. I can see the disappointment in her eyes and it breaks my heart.

"I'm sorry, but I'm sure you'll have a great day with uncle Sev!" I tell her, smiling and kissing her forehead.

"Yeah, sure… Between you and him, my first choice is always Uncle Severide…" she tells.

"Hey; Gabby, you're hurting my feelings here!" Severide says, slapping her shoulder.

"Fine, fine! I guess I have no choice! I need big arms for moving back here, so…" Gabby teases him.

GABBY'S POV

I'm disappointed not spending my first day back with Matt, with him. He goes to our bedroom, getting ready for his construction job and I follow him.

While he's brushing his teeth, I wrap my arms around him and lay my head on his back.

"Will you be back home early?" I ask him.

"I'm not sure; I tell you, it's a big construction job… I'm in this project for weeks now…" he answers me.

"What kind of construction is it?" I ask him, wanting to know more about what he's doing.

"I'm… I'm working in an old house near the Lake…" he answers me, hesitating.

"Aw, I should come with you and spend the day around the lake while you're working… Like that we could have lunch together… What do you think?" I ask him, happy and watching him in the mirror in front of us.

"I'm not sure, It's difficult to bide time here… You should stay here with Severide, and make yourself comfortable now you're back at home… Take a bath, take some time for yourself…" he says.

"Are you sure everything's ok?" I ask him, worried. I feel like he's hiding me something.

He turns around and takes me in his arms: "Of course! I'm so happy you're back here!" He kisses me before getting dressed while I sit on the edge of the bed watching him.

Once ready, he bends towards me to kiss me. "Have a nice day, my love! I love you!" He says before catching his bag and his jacket. "I love you too!" I shout while he's already in the lounge, catching his keys and going away.

I find myself alone, in our bedroom, to ask myself what he's hiding from me. I know him by heart; there is something that he doesn't tell me.

MATT'S POV

Once seated in my truck, I let escape a sigh which I didn't think I hold. Hide things to Gabby while we are just back together is horrible, but it's for her well-being.

I take my telephone and send a text to Severide: "I didn't tell Gabby where I'm working… If she asks you where I am, I am in a house by the lake. No blunder please! Thank you. "
