Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.

a/n: Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed last chapter, it means the world to me. I'd also like to welcome all the new readers and followers/favourites. Sorry this chapter has taken soo long to be posted. I had a bad case of the writer's block that prevented me from getting this chapter written. Enjoy.

Matt dropped the subject of Hallie altogether and enjoyed the quiet time he was now having with Gabby.

"So when do you want to move your things in here?"

"We just got here Matt, are you in that much of a hurry?" She laughed.

"Yes."

"Well you'll just have to wait a little bit longer. We need to get you situated first."

"I am situated, right here, with you."

"You're unbelievable. How about we just take it easy and I make dinner for us and we can talk about that and other things in the morning. We've had enough excitement for one day don't you think?"

"If you say so."

"I do. I just want to enjoy having you alive and in one piece."

"Fine. I'm all yours." She gently straddled his hips, careful not to touch his leg and leaned down for a not too tender kiss.

Hallie kept claiming that they couldn't keep her locked up in the back of Ruzek and Halstead's car on the way to the station but both detectives simply let her talk away. As soon as Halstead took her out of of the car, she started pulling her body in different directions to get out of his grib but unfortunately for her, he had seen a lot worst since becoming a cop. He easily took her up the stairs and into an empty interrogation room where they let her sit it out a little bit while they went to talk to their sargent. Little known fact to them was that Antonio had gone straight to Voight and he in turn had gone to see sargent White so they could get this case over with.

They were at the front desk talking with Sargent Platt when Voight and White walked in their direction, Antonio close behind them. "Where is she?" Voight asked.

"In there." Ruzek pointed to the closed door on his right. Voight asked Platt to send someone in with everything to book her in while they waited a little bit longer, sudden yelling coming from the other side of the door. Voight walked into the room and sat down in the chair opposite Hallie.

"Screaming won't do you any good miss Thomas."

"You can't keep me here, I didn't do anything."

"From where I'm sitting, I see obstruction of justice. That's a serious offense."

"I want to talk to a lawyer." She demanded.

"Well unless you have one, you'll have to wait until the morning. Until then, you get to sleep in a cell." Voight simply got up and left the room, joining with the others again. "Book her and she can think about what she did with other convicts."

"Thanks Sarge."Antonio shook his hand.

"My pleasure."

"We'll take over from here, thank you Hank."

"No problem Mark." Since the booking was already done, Ruzek took her for her pictures and was nice enough to not so gently put her in a cell with not just one but 6 other people.

"Hope you use your time to think." He turned to leave, not even turning around while she yelled at him that she had done nothing wrong.

Hallie sat down defeated as the detective's back appeared farther, not even flinching as she yelled, not caring who was looking at her. When she saw an officer, she stood up and approached him.

"I want my phone call." She demanded.

"You'll just have to wait a little while longer to be able to get bailed out."

"I've waited more than enough, I want my phone call." She was less than patient and she needed someone to get her out of here as soon as she was aloud to. She knew that she'd have her phone back when she was released but she needed someone to bail her out first.

When she was finally given her phonecall, the first person she tried was her sister. It rang for a long time until it went straight through voicemail. Her parents were gone on vacation so she couldn't call them and since coming back, her old friends had moved and she hadn't really made any new ones that would come to her help her out in that way so she dialed the only other number she knew.

Evening was starting to set and Matt and Gabby finished the pizza they had ordered and even though Matt's legs were clumsily propped on the table, Gabby's legs were settled on top of his.

"I'm happy things are quiet tonight. How are you feeling?" Gabby asked Matt as they sat in silence, music playing in the background.

"Starting to be tired I guess."

"Than maybe we should get you ready for bed."

"Bed is a long way up."

"Well I happen to be strong and capable." She chuckled. "Let's get you up first." Gabby swung her legs off of his and got up as his phone rang. The number was private and Matt wondered who it could be.

"Matt Casey." He put his phone to his ear. "Yes I'll accept the charges." Gabby looked at him quizically and he shrugged, still as clueless about who was on the other end. "Matt Casey." He repeated once he heard the click on the other side. Matt, it's Hallie. I need your help. Matt couldn't believe his ears. "You have some nerves to call me Hallie." He said her name to make sure Gabby knew who was calling. She immediately took her phone out and walked off into the next room to make her call. I didn't mean for all of this to happen Matt. I didn't want you to be an accident. A little too late to be thinking about that now. I'm sorry I can't help you." He hung up without giving her a chance to say anything else.

"What did she want?" She sat down next to him.

"Said she needed my help. Probably couldn't reach anyone else to get her out of there. You call your brother?"

"Yeah, he said he'd take care of it and said to have a nice evening, not to worry about it."

"And I trust your brother so it's all good. Now where were we?"

"We were getting you into bed." She got up as Matt managed to get his casted foot off the table and then she gently pulled him up with her.

"Never thought I'd have trouble going up my stairs." He huffed as they made it to the stairs, guiding himself expertly with his crutches.

"It'll be over before you know it."

"You might regret saying that after a few days." The climb to upstairs was very slow, Gabby giving Matt the time to catch his breath, dragging his casted leg up was prouving harder than he thought. Once Matt was sitting the bed, Gabby helped him out of his sweatpants and went to change herself into something a little bit more comfortable for sleep before returning to the room.

"I can get used to that." Gabby was wearing a tank top that was riding up her abs and boy shorts.

"You won't be able to have that for a while though." She smirked, Matt's face falling.

"You're not playing fair." He pressed his forehead to her shoulder as she sat down on her new side of the bed.

"Well you're stuck with me so there's no rush."

"Yeah, no rush." He mumbled. It was only day one of the cast and already he wished it didn't exist so he could enjoy his time with Gabby. "Did you call your chief?" This was a discussion that Gabby couldn't push back.

"Yeah, I called him. I have more than enough furlough added up."

"I doubt that you were planning on taking care of an invalid with that furlough."

"Trust me, there's plenty of it. I can enjoy it some other time."

"Maybe when I'm fully recovered and back on the job."

"That would be nice babe." She kissed him. "Now we should get some rest, you've had a long day."

"So have you." Lying down was another challange as well so Gabby helped him lower himself to his pillow before snuggling into his side.

"Things will be better in the morning."

"New day."

"New day." They kissed before they closed their eyes, both more exhausted than they thought.

As soon as Antonio had gotten the call from Gabby, the first thing he did was take it up with Sargent Voight and White. That woman had balls, he would give her that but in this situation, it would come back to bite her. Things were quickly set in motion for the next morning when Hallie would get to be arraigned. He texted Gabby much later that night to be at the station as soon as they got up before he finished up the reports that were stacking up on his desk.

Both Matt and Gabby had a bad night, Matt inhability to move properly preventing them from getting a good night's sleep but that didn't matter. Matt was more than happy to be able to wake up next to Gabby, his heart feeling full again.

"I'm sorry about last night."

"Hey, the both of us need to adjust to this, it'll get better." She promised. She turned her phone off and it dinged a few times.

"Someone's popular." Matt smirked.

"Antonio texted me." She wasn't smiling at all. "He wants us to be at the courthouse as soon as we get up for Hallie's arraignment."

"I didn't know we had to be there."

"He said that it's not a normal arraignment. He said he'd explain when we'd get there."

"Ok." Matt didn't know much about the judicial system but he trusted Antonio.

It took them more time than it normally would to get ready because Matt was having troubl getting his legs dressed and right now, the only thing that fit were sports pants because they were wider for his casted leg. As soon as they were ready, Gabby helped him in her car and they drove to the courthouse in silence. The met up with Antonio as soon as walked through the door.

"Hey Matt, how are you doing?" They shook hands.

"Tired. We had trouble sleeping because of the cast. It's hard to change position in that thing." He laughed.

"You'll get used to it soon enough." It had happened to Antonio once too and it had taken him a few days to adjust.

"So what's so special about this arraignment?"

"Voight might have pulled a few strings and since there was already a restraining order against her, let's just say that her phonecall to you didn't help her. Come on, let's go in, it's about to start." They followed Antonio inside the room. There wasn't a lot of people in the courtroom, just one other case on the table for the morning.

"Next, the matter of Hallie Thomas against Matt Casey and Gabriella Dawson." The judge called. Hallie was taken into the room with a police officer, her hands in cuffs in front of her. She sat at the table in front of Matt, Gabby and Antonio. "Earlier yesterday, Miss Thomas was served papers to stay away from Mr Casey and Miss Dawson is that correct?" He started.

"Yes your honour." Hallie's attorney replied.

"And the prison phone records show that she came into contact with Mr. Casey last night is that also correct?"

"Yes your honour." Those facts couldn't be denied by anyone.

"Than my decision was taken for me by the actions of your client. Hallie Thomas, as per the retraining order, you cannot be in contact with both Mr. Casey and Miss Dawson in any sort of way, shape or form."

"But your honour, I work at Chicago Med and they come through those doors every single day."

"Than you'll just have to take your practice outside the lines of the city of Chicago."

"You can't do that." She suddenly stood up and started yelling.

"Miss Thomas." His booming voice was enough to calm her down. "I'd advise you to calm down otherwise I might feel the need to add some extra charges to your sentence." Hallie sat back down and stayed quiet, not wanting to get into anymore trouble than she already was. "Now you will not have a criminal record as to not prevent future hiring processes but you will be assigned a parole officer to make sure that everything goes well. If you follow all these rules, there's no reason for us to meet again but if you get into any kind of trouble, I won't be as kind towards you Miss Thomas."

"Yes your honour." She replied with her head bowed down.

"This court is now adjourned." Everyone rose to their feet as the judge left the room, Hallie being taken away a few minutes later, Matt and Gabby finally hugging.

"It's over baby." He whispered to her ear. "Thanks for everything Antonio." He shook his hand.

"Voight did most of it."

"I'll be sure to thank him the next time."

"So celebration at Molly's tonight?" Antonio looked at the two for confirmation.

"As much as my energy will let me."

"I'll see you there then." Antonio left the two to celebrate in their own way before they all met up at Molly's later that night.

Molly's was packed but Matt and Gabby made good on their promise to be there, most from 51 and a few from the district there to toast the end of this craziness. Matt located Voight at the far end of the bar, having a beer with Olynski so he made his way over to them.

"I hear you're the one I need to thank for our victory today."

"I didn't do much." Voight admitted. "But I'm happy it's over for the two of you." He accepted the hand that Matt was offering him.

"Another round?" Otis asked.

"Put it on my tab Otis." Patt patted his shoulder. "Have a good evening."

"You too." Matt and Voight exchanged a smile before Matt hobbled away on his crutches to go see Gabby, who was mingling with Brett and Shay. They spent a few hours before Matt started to get tired so they drove back to their place for a quiet evening together, a proper celebration having to wait a little while longer.

a/n: Alright so the Hallie saga is now over, Matt and Gabby coming out on the winning side. Now I know that some of you gave me wonderful ideas about what to do with her character but in the end, I didn't want to drag her SL out and make her too much out of character so I decided to bring her SL to an end, giving Matt and Gabby a real opportunity to move forward with their lives now that they're moving in together.

I hope you guys enjoyed it and please take a few minutes to leave a review before you go, I always love to know what you thought of it - Sarra
