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 don't own Chicago Fire or Chicago PD!

Dawson Household

"Remember what the doctor said." Antonio said, for the fifth time on their way home.

"Antonio, you give me the lecture one more time and I will shove my boot up where the sun don't shine." She said, as they walked into the kitchen where Laura was making lunch.

"Thought it was you two." She said, kissing Antonio on the way to the fridge.

"Go sit down." He said to Gabby who was sitting at the breakfast bar.

"I am." She replied, rolling her eyes at him.

"Antonio, back off a little." Laura warned as she passed him.

"Just sayin. Maybe you should go lay down instead." He said, looking at Gabby.

"You kidding me right? I don't need to lay down. I'm fine." She said, throwing her hands up in the air in frustration.

"Okay, okay. You win." He said, smirking a little bit.

"Hah! I want to go see the guys at the firehouse." She said, looking down at the counter top.

"No." "Yes." Antonio and Laura said at the same time.

"I'm going with Laura on this one." Gabby said, laughing.

"You heard the doctor. No work for two weeks." Antonio said, as Eva and Diego came running through the door.

"Yeah, but she didn't say I couldn't go visit them." Gabby said, hugging both kids.

"One, let her go see them Antonio and two, out of the kitchen." Laura said, pushing her husband around the counter.

"But Diego is allowed in the kitchen." Antonio pouted, looking at him.

"Yeah but Dad, I'm cute. That's what Mom always says anyway." Diego said, sitting at the kitchen table with his homework.

"Do your homework." Antonio said, as his phone rang.

"Hello...I'll be there in five." He said, before hanging up and grabbing his jacket.

"Work?" Laura asked, looking up from the pot of sauce.

"Yeah, they have a break in one of our cases." He said.

"Be careful." Gabby and Laura said at the same time.

"I will." Antonio said, kissing them both on the cheek before kissing the kids heads and walking out of the door.

Firehouse 51

"Hey guys." Gabby said, walking through the common room.

"Dawson!" Shay yelled, running up to her and hugging her tightly.

"Hey." The guys said, pulling her into a hug as well.

"Hey, wow Kelly Severide actually hugs people." Gabby joked, lightly punching him.

"You keep going and there will be no more hugs." He said, going to sit back down with the rest of squad.

"Yes sir." She said, before joining truck and Shay at the other table.

"Oh Dawson, this is your replacement Rafferty." Shay said, pointing to the women across from them.

"Nice to meet you." Gabby said, sticking her hand out to the other women.

"Mhm." She replied, before turning back to the magazine she was reading.

"Where's Casey?" She asked, looking around for the truck lieutenant who was also her boyfriend.

"His office." Otis said, before throwing a dirty look at Cruz who was cooking in the kitchen.

"Problem with my cooking?" Cruz asked, looking at him.

"It's weird." Otis replied, before joining him in the kitchen.

"You're weird." He replied.

"What are you cooking?" Dawson asked, walking up to them.

"It's an original Dominican recipe. Here try." Cruz said, offering the spoon to her.

"Here, might want to take a napkin." Otis said, handing it to her.

"Thanks. Alright, let me at it. See how bad it really is." She said, taking what was offered to her on the spoon.

"Eugh." She said, spitting into the napkin and grabbing a glass of water.

"It just needs some work." Cruz said, adding safron to it.

"NO! Let me cook." Gabby said, stopping him from adding more.

"Okay." He said, before taking off the apron.

"First I want you to take this outside to cool and then throw it out. And I will cook some Paella." She replied, handing him the steaming pot.

"What ingredients do you need?" Otis asked, opening the cupboards.

"Chicken stock, saffron, chorizo sausages, chicken thigh fillet, green tiger prawns, brown onion, red capsicum, rice, tomatoe, paprika and frozen peas." Laura said, walking into the kitchen with the needed ingrdients.

"Hey, thanks for bringing the ingredients." Gabby said, quickly hugging her before they got stuck into cooking lunch.

An hour later

"Lunch is served." Gabby said, placing the pot onto the counter where the men and women were lined up ready.

"Smells great!" Casey said, grabbing some and taking a seat next to Boden.

"I should cook this for dinner tonight." Laura said to Gabby as everyone but Rafferty grabbed a bowl.

Gabby smiled at her while replacing the empy pot with another one.

Everyone was waiting and looking at Rafferty, waiting to see what she does.

"No thanks." She said, before grabbing an apple and walking out the door.

"I'm going to go talk to her." Gabby said, following her out the door.

Outside

"What's your problem?" Gabby asked, standing in front her with her arms crossed.

"I know I am only a temporary replacement but seriously I know what shoes I gotta fill for the next two weeks. The only one more loved around here than that damn dog is you. Trust me, I've heard it from everyone. That's what I've walked into and I'm dealing with it. But it isn't going to help me if you come to the firehouse while you are out of work for the next two weeks." Rafferty said.

"Nope, yep. Done. I'll be outta the way once I say goodbye to everyone." Gabby replied, turning around and heading back inside.

"Hey. You okay?" Shay asked, as Gabby walked through the door.

"Yeah I'm fine. Just a little tired, so I might head home. I'll see you guys later." Gabby said, before turning and leaving brushing past Rafferty on the way out.

Dawson Household

"Gabby. You okay?" Laura asked, walking into the guest room.

"Yeah I'm okay. Just tired." She replied, smiling.

"Antonio said he will be home soon." Laura said, sitting on the bed next to Gabby.

"Okay. Where are the two little devils?" She asked, sitting up.

"Outside, playing in the cubby." Laura replied.

"Of course." Gabby laughed, remembering that her and Antonio had a cubby house when they were younger.

"Want to talk about what happened at the firehouse? I know something happened between you and Rafferty." Laura said.

"Not really. Nothing I can't handle." Gabby replied, as they made their way downstairs.

"Well, they boys have asked us to go back and cook them something tomorrow as well. They are just ordering in dinner." Laura said, as she stirred the Paella.

"I might stay home and read or something." Gabby said, chopping the capsicum.

"If you want to." Laura said, as Antonio walked through the door.

"Hey. What's cookin?" He asked, kissing Laura.

"Paella. Don't touch." Laura said, kissing him back.

"No fun." He said, grabbing a beer from the fridge.

"Want one?" Laura asked, passing one to Gabby.

"Hmm..Yeah thanks." She said as she pulled out of her daydream.

"You okay?" Antonio asked, looking at her carefully.

"Yep, fine." She replied, chopping the onion.

"Ok." He replied, as Laura sent him the look that said 'Don't push it buster.'

"I'm going to go outside." Gabby said, before making her way out the back door.

"What happened?" He asked, looking towards Laura.

"We went to the firehouse and we cooked lunch for them, and she went out to talk to her temporary replacement, when she came back in she said she was and was going home. She won't even go to the firehouse tomorrow." Laura explained, sitting down next to him.

"That's weird." He replied, as they looked out at the kids and Gabby playing soccer together.

Next Day

"Dad!" Eva called, running down the stairs.

"What?" he replied, turning to face her as she came into the living room.

"Can you sign this for me? It's for a field trip to the Science Museum." She said, handing him the permission slip.

"Sure." He replied, pulling a pen off the table and signing it for her.

"Thanks. Aunt Gabby hasn't come out of her room yet." Eva said, taking the paper.

"I will go talk to her. Now go, before you miss the bus." He said, kissing her head.

Upstairs

"Gabby, you awake?" Antonio asked, knocking her door.

"Yeah, what's up?" she asked, rolling over to face him.

"Are you okay?" he asked, sitting on the end of the bed.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired." She replied.

"Okay. Well Laura is going down to 51 today if you want to go." He said, standing up.

"No I'm right thanks." She replied, as he kissed her forehead and left.

Downstairs

"She won't go?" She asked, as Antonio came into the kitchen.

"No. I will talk to you at lunch, otherwise I'm going to be late for work." He said, kissing her goodbye before leaving.
