Heya guys. So since my other The Ball got deleted due to unknown reasons I thought i would rewrite it with different character going after Gabby. Hope you enjoy.
This story IS au
Next day
"Morning. Ready to go?" Antonio asked, walking into his sister's hospital room.
"You betcha I am." She replied, jumping off the chair and grabbing her duffle bag.
"The doc wants you off work for the next two weeks." Antonio said, taking her duffle bag, while she carried her flowers.
"Mhm, well he knows where he can shove that now can't he." Gabby said, as they got into the elevator.
"Gabriela!" Antonio warned, giving her a sideways glance.
"Antonio!" Gabby retorted, giving him the same look.
"Don't you mimic me. Do you want to go to the station first?" He asked, opening the passenger door for her.
"Nah." She replied, getting in.
"Wow. That's a surprise and a half. Cause we are going there anyway." Antonio said, pulling out of the parking lot.
"Yeah, well don't get us killed." Gabby said, holding onto the door.
Firehouse 51
"Hey Gabby!" Mouch called, as the siblings walked into the firehouse arguing.
"You could of killed us." Gabby argued, pushing her brother.
"I was doing the speed limit. May have gone over a little." He said, giving her his own little shove.
"Hey Mouch." Gabby replied, sitting down at the long table.
"How you feeling?" He asked, sitting in his usual spot on the couch.
"Yeah better." She replied, looking around the room.
"Gabby!" Shay said, running up to her best friend and hugging her.
"Hey. Come with me." Gabby said, pulling Shay out of the room and into the laundry room.
"They gossip in there." Otis explained to a baffled Antonio.
"I don't want to know." He said, holding his hands up in surrender. "Casey around?"
"Yeah, his office. Everything okay?" Severide asked, sitting at the head of the table.
"Yeah, everything is fine." Antonio said, before walking down the hallway and into Casey's office.
"Hey Antonio. Gabby is in the laundry room with Shay gossiping." Casey said, spinning around.
"Yeah I know. Forensics came back with negative on fingerprints. We know who it is, we just don't have enough evidence to bust him. They are still running the license plates." Antonio explained, sitting down in the other chair.
"Thanks. How is Gabby holding up?" Casey asked.
"I wouldn't know personally how she is because she isn't showing much emotion. But she is trying to deal with it." Antonio guessed, looking down at his feet.
Laundry room
"So, how's it going between you and Mills?" Shay asked, jumping up onto the dryer.
"Yeah. It's good." Gabby replied, sitting next to her on the washing machine.
"Just good?" Shay asked.
"It's not just a physical thing but an emotional one." Gabby explained as best she could about her growing relationship with the candidate.
"Gabby!" Mills called, pulling her off the washing machine and hugging her tightly.
"Hey." She replied, kissing him.
Shay looked down at her feet while the two shared a moment.
"How are you feeling?" he asked, wrapping his arm around her waist and hugging her close.
"Uhm. Sorry to interrupt but we need to get going." Antonio said, coming up behind the two.
"Sorry. Will see you both later." Gabby said, kissing Pete on the cheek and hugging Shay, before taking her leave with Antonio.
Dawson household.
"Did you want to cook dinner?" Antonio asked, as they walked through the door.
"Antonio is 1.15 in the afternoon. Go make a sandwich for lunch." Gabby scolded, slapping her brother over the head as he passed.
"Yeah, yeah. But are you going to cook dinner or should I?" He asked, as they moved into the kitchen.
"I will. I don't trust your cooking." Gabby said, taking her duffle bag and walking upstairs.
"Do you trust me with a sandwich?" he called up from the bottom of the stairs.
"Unless you're going to burn bread, then yeah I will trust a sandwich." Gabby called back, as she walked back down the hallway towards the stairs.
"Just for that I will make sure I burn your bread." He called back up, just as he heard running down the hallway.
"Don't even think about it." She said, running down the stairs and racing him to the kitchen as the doorbell rang.
"Go get the door." Antonio said, reaching the counter first.
"Fine." She huffed, before walking down the entrance hall.
"Hey Gabby." Matt said, after she opened the door.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" She asked, letting him in.
"Antonio asked me to stop by, to talk about Voight." Casey explained as Gabby took his jacket.
"Ah. Antonio why am I smelling something burning?" Gabby called, stopping in her tracks.
"Uhh don't worry." He called back as Eva and Diego came running through the door.
"Aunt Gabby!" They yelled barrelling into her legs.
"Hey guys. Go check your dad, he is burning food again." Gabby whispered, bending down to give them a hug and kiss.
"Again? DAD!" Eva yelled.
"No yelling in the house, you know the rules." Antonio said, walking into the entrance hall.
"You're burning food again." Diego said, slipping past.
"Can't be worst than last night's dinner." Eva mumbled, also slipping past and following her brother into the kitchen. "How did you manage to burn bread?"
"You burnt bread?" Matt asked, following them down the hall.
"I was making toast." He said, defending himself.
"That's why Laura doesn't allow you in the kitchen." Gabby said, taking the smoking toast out of the toaster.
"Aunt Gabby please tell me you are staying so Dad doesn't cook?" Diego asked, taking out his math homework.
"Yeah I'm staying." She replied.
"You two keep going and you're going to find yourselves grounded. Go upstairs and do your homework." Antonio said, kissing both kids on the heads.
