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. I know I didn't have two updates yesterday but I just couldn't handle what was happening yesterday as it was a hard day for all my family.
This story is AU
"Yeah, sorry." Matt said, watching as she walked away with Shay.
Gabby's apartment
"Please tell me you and Casey were not about to kiss?" Shay asked, looking at her nails while Gabby got dressed.
"I don't know." Gabby admitted, grabbing her shoes and walking to the couch.
"Pretty, should probably do something with your hair though." Shay said, pulling at a strand.
"I'm just going to curl it." Gabby said, walking into her bathroom.
"I'll help." Shay said, following her and helping her best friend curl her hair.
"Thanks." Gabby said, just as a knock came on her door.
"I'll get it." Shay said, walking out and answering her door.
"Hey. She ready?" Antonio asked, walking in.
"Putting her shoes on." Shay answered, sitting on the couch.
"She better hurry up then." He replied, leaning against the table.
"Do you know how long it took her to build up her shoe collection?" Shay asked, looking at him.
"Do I want to know?" He asked, narrowing his eyes.
"From what she told me, 6 or 7 years." She replied,
"Yeah I didn't want to know." Antonio said, as Gabby walked out of her room.
"Hey. You're early for once." She said, kissing his cheek and walking over to her bag.
"Yeah and you're late for once." He replied, watching her go through her bag. "What are you looking for?"
"Nothing. Cause I found it." She said, pulling out her keys.
"Good. Let's go." He said, pushing both girls out the door before Gabby could grab a jacket.
"I need to grab my coat Antonio." She said, unlocking her door and grabbing it from the coat rack by the door.
"Why didn't you grab it on the way out?" He asked, as they made their way downstairs.
"Because you pushed us out the door." Shay said, getting into Severide's car.
"Took you long enough." He complained.
"Shut up. See you tomorrow Gabs." Shay said, as they pulled away from the curb.
Aragon Entertainment Center
"Do I have to be here?" Gabby asked, as they hung up their jackets.
"Because you said you would. And Laura is outta town until tomorrow." Antonio said, walking slightly behind her.
"I need a drink if I'm going to get through tonight." She said, before disappearing among the crowd.
"Who did you bring Dawson?" Halstead asked, sidling up to him.
"Gabby." He replied, looking around.
"Your sister?" Halstead asked, remembering Antonio talking about her.
"Yeah." He replied, spotting his sister walking back through the crowd with two beers in her hand.
"Since I'm such a good sister." She said handing him one.
"Sometimes." He replied, as she poked him.
"Don't make me tell Laura that you were in the kitchen. Burning bread." She said, taking a sip.
"You wouldn't?" He asked, narrowing his eyes at her.
"I would." She replied, as her phon chimed, it was a text from Boden.
"Casey's in hospital. Beaten up. He said don't worry about coming down, he is being released. See you tomorrow."
"Whats' wrong?" Antonio asked, watching his sister's reaction to the message.
"Uh just a message from Boden." She replied, putting her phone away in her small bag.
"You okay?" He asked.
"Yeah fine." She replied smiling.
"Evening." Voight said, walking past them.
"Asshole." Gabby muttered under her breath.
"Gabs." Antonio hissed, laughing silently.
"What? Just telling the truth." She said, as they walked towards the tables set out.
"Mhm." He replied, sitting down next to her.
Next day
"DAD! Mom's home." Eva called as she ran into her mother's waiting arms.
"It was the ball last night wasn't it?" Laura asked, going upstairs to find her husband walking out of their room.
"Yeah." He replied, bringing her in for a hug and kiss.
"Who you take?" She asked, as Gabby stumbled out of the guest room.
"Morning." Gabby said, hugging her sister-in-law.
"You were that desperate you took your sister?" Laura asked, laughing at her husband.
"Yeah." Antonio laughed.
"I'm sorry, would love to stay but I need to get to work." Gabby said, giving them all a kiss on the cheek before taking her leave through the front door.
"She late for work?" Laura asked, as they made their way downstairs.
"I guess so." Antonio replied, getting a message from Boden about what happened to Casey the night before.
Firehouse 51
"Dawson, you're late." Boden boomed as she ran through the common room.
"I know. Had Antonio's thing ball crap last night." She replied, before making her way through to the locker room.
"Morning." Matt said from his locker as she changed shirts.
"Morning." She replied, turning around and smiling at him.
"Late night?" he asked, as she proceeded to tuck her shirt in.
"You got that right." She replied, pulling her hair up into a messy bun. "How are you feeling? Boden texted me last night."
"Good, little on the sore side." He said, wincing as he picked up his duffle bag to put into his locker.
"I noticed. I assume Antonio will be here soon to look at mugshots." Gabby said, as they made their way to the common room.
"Yeah, good guess." he said, as the said man walked through the door.
"Morning. You get to work on time Gabs?" Antonio asked, shaking Casey's hand.
"No, I got to work late." She replied, before making her way out to the ambulance.
"Where do you wanna do this?" Antonio asked, holding up some binders.
"Briefing room." Matt said, pointing the way.
"Stay outta trouble." Antonio said to Gabby before following Matt.
"Yeah, yeah." She muttered walking to the ambulance just as the alarm sounded.
"Ambulance 61...Back up requested by CPD...Hostage situation." Dispatched called over, as the girls looked at each other before making their way to the ambulance.
"Dawson! I am letting you off on this call as your temporary replacement called in sick." Boden yelled just before Gabby closed her door.
"Thanks Chief." She said, slamming her door shut.
5 hours later
"Three children and 6 adults." Shay mumbled, as they got out of the ambulance.
"Yeah. I need to go get cleaned up." Gabby said, brushing her gloved hand down the front of shirt trying to get the blood off.
Matt watched as Gabby and Shay passed, not talking or looking at them.
"Gabs, you okay?" Matt asked, following her into the bathroom and watching her scrub at her shirt.
"Yeah. The blood won't come off though." She said, scrubbing harder at it. "Why won't it come off?"
"Gabby. Calm down. It's okay." Matt soothed, watching her get into hysterics.
"It won't come off!" She screamed, pulling the shirt off and throwing it away from her.
"Hey! It's okay." Matt said, grabbing her and holding her close.
"We lost the three kids." She sobbed, falling to her knees.
"Oh Gabby." Matt said, kneeling next to her.
"What's going on in here?" Boden said, walking in and finding his PIC (Paramedic in Charge) crying on the floor.
"Last call, they lost the three children." Matt explained, causing her to cry harder.
"Were you treating those kids Dawson?" Boden asked, kneeling on the other side.
"Yeah." She replied, rubbing at her eyes with the palm of her hand.
"Come on. Let's get you up." Matt said, helping her stand while keeping a firm grip on her waist.
"Give her your jacket. I don't think she would appreaciate going out there without her shirt." Boden said, watching as Casey wrapped the jacket around her and zipped it up.
"Is Shay okay?" She asked, looking towards Boden.
"Yeah, she is alright. Come on lets get you out of here." Boden said, watching as Matt picked her up and carried her out.
Common Room
"Has anyone seen Dawson? She was meant to cook dinner." Mills called, looking at everyone.
"No. Last I saw her she was walking towards the bathroom." Cruz said, Otis agreeing with him.
"Dawson is going home. Casey is going to stay with her." Boden said, walking through with Matt following carrying Dawson.
"She okay?" Shay asked, standing up and looking at her friend with concern.
"She is taking the last call hard." Matt said, carrying her towards the Apparatus Floor and towards his truck.
Dawson Household
"Matt, what's brought you here?" Laura said, answering the door.
"Bringing Gabs home. Cause I know she is still staying with you guys after the accident a couple of days ago." Matt said, carrying her through the door as she was asleep.
"Is she okay?" Laura asked, looking at her sister-in-law with concern.
"Not really. The last call was a diffucult one. Can I stay with her?" He asked, laying her on the guest bed.
"Yah sure." Laura said, before making her way downstairs to where she was prepping dinner.
