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!
Later that day-Dawson Family Bakery
"Hey babe." Antonio said, walking into the bakery at lunch.
"Hey yourself, Gabby is at home. Cleaning." Laura said, kissing him as she walked past to stock up the bread with freshly cooked.
"I figured. Its either clean or cook when she was stressed." He said, sitting on the counter.
"Get off the counter. Yeah I remember. Remember the time we came over for family dinner and the whole kitchen was filled with cupcakes and different muffins." Laura said, wiping down the counter.
"I remember. I also remember she wouldn't talk to anyone but you." He said, grabbing a biscuit out of the glass cabinet.
"Yeah. Take these back with you, I made too many. I'm sure District 21 would appreciate them." She said, handing him a couple of Tupperware containers.
"I'm sure they would." He said, peeking in the box.
"I'm going to try and get her to go to 51 again." Laura said, as she closed up for lunch.
"Let me know how it goes. Love you." Antonio said, kissing her as they walked towards their cars.
"I will. Love you too." She said, before getting in her car and driving off.
Dawson Family Household
"Hey Gabs." Laura said, as she walked through to the kitchen where Gabby sat decorating yet another cupcake.
"Hey Laur, uh I kinda been on a baking spree." Gabby said, looking around at the numerous cupcakes on the table.
"I knew you would. I was thinking if you wanted to come with me and drop them off at 51?" She asked, as she started packing them into tupperware containers.
"No thanks. I might take a walk around the neighbourhood." She said, helping her.
"I could really use your help though. And I'm sure Matt would like to see you." Laura said, looking at her.
"Can I tell you something?" Gabby asked, looking at her from the corner of her eye.
"Of course you can." Laura said, sitting down.
"My temporary replacement doesn't want me at 51 for the next two weeks because in her words, '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', so I'm trying to kind of avoid visiting as much as possible." Gabby explained, looking down at her hands.
"Sweetie, look at me. Don't listen to her, it's where your other family is. She can't take that away from you. You can visit as much as you like. Are you coming?" Laura said, standing up and grabbing some containers.
"Thanks Laur, yeah I'm coming." She said, grabbing the rest of the containers and following her out of the house.
Firehouse 51
"I'm glad they are on a run, yet I want to see Shay." Gabby said, as she sat with Matt in his office.
"Baby, don't worry about it. She treats Shay like she is a doormat." Matt said, explaining how Rafferty treats Shay.
"I can't believe it." Gabby said, as the door opened to reveal Shay on the other side.
"Casey, Chief-Hey Gabs! Glad to see you back here." Shay exclaimed, bring her into a hug.
"Yeah, I was just really tired yesterday." Gabby said, smiling.
"Well, Boden wants to see you in his office. Come and say hi to the others." Shay said, dragging Gabby out to the common room.
"Hey. Can you help me with these containers?" Laura asked from the kitchen when she saw her sister-in-law be dragged into the common room.
"Sure." Gabby said, walking past Rafferty who was sitting with the men at the long table.
"Hey Dawson, you're a great cook. Did you ever think about becoming a chef?" Mills asked from his spot next to Herrmann and Cruz who nodded in agreement.
"When I was little I did, but when I was in junior high I realized I wanted to help people like my mother and father. And Antonio." She explained, as they found space in the fridge for what they cooked.
"How nice. I might just shed a tear." Rafferty said, sarcasm dripping on the end of her sentence.
"Don't be a bitch Rafferty." Shay said, walking into the kitchen and took a cupcake.
"Hm." She replied, before turning back to her magazine.
"Hey all. Chief around?" Antonio asked, walking into the kitchen.
"Detective Dawson, to what do we owe this pleasure." Herrmann said, slapping the man on the back.
"Just need to talk to the chief about some gang violence in this area and what he should be aware of." He said, walking into the kitchen and kissing Laura on the cheek.
"Well his office is that way, not in the kitchen." Rafferty said, not looking up from her book.
"Leave him alone." Gabby said, walking out to grab another container.
"Gabs leave it." Antonio said, taking a cupcake.
"Fine." She replied, slamming the door on the fridge.
"Ooh, someone has a temper." She said, flipping through the pages.
"Boden is in his office talking to Casey." Otis said, ignoring Rafferty.
"Thanks. What time will you be home?" He asked the girls.
"About 2.30. Why? You thinking of coming home early today?" Laura said, turning to look at him slightly.
"Probably. Depends what paperwork and cases we complete today." He replied, kissing her cheek.
"If you don't mind, I don't really want to see you two making out in the kitchen," Rafferty said, sending them a glare.
"Watch it." Antonio said, looking at her before kissing Gabby's cheek.
"You can't talk to me like that." Rafferty said, as he walked past.
"Chicago PD, Intelligence Unit." He said, showing his badge before making his way down the hall to Boden's office.
"You're brothers a cop?" Rafferty asked, looking at Gabby.
"Yeah. Has been since he came back from his tour with the Marines." Gabby said, as they prepped something for lunch.
"Huh." She said, turning back to the table.
"I'm going to go outside, I need some fresh air." Gabby said, putting down the knife and leaving via the side door.
"Don't let the door hit you on the way out." Rafferty called.
Outside
"Laura said I might find you out here." Matt said, finding Gabby leaning against the wall.
"Here I am." She said, as he leaned next to her.
"You okay babe?" He asked, hugging her to his side.
"Yeah, I'm okay. I just needed some fresh air." She replied, hugging him around his waist.
"So I have Saturday off, I was wondering if you wanted to do something with Eva and Diego and let Laura and Antonio have a day together." Matt said, even though he had organised it with Laura and Antonio earlier.
"Yeah I would like that." Gabby smiled, kissing him.
'Truck 81...Squad 3...Ambulance 61...Battalion 25...Apartment fire.' Dispatched called over the PA system.
"That's me. I will talk to you later. I love you." Matt said, before running off towards where the rigs were parked.
"Love you too." She said, as she made her way back inside.
Dawson Family Household-That night
"Hey guys, what do you think of spending time with Matt and Aunt Gabby on Saturday?" Laura asked as she cleaned up from dinner.
"Awesome!" They yelled, before going upstairs to complete the homework they had left over from before dinner.
"I don't like that Rafferty girl." Antonio said, sitting at the breakfast bar with a beer.
"Neither do I." Gabby said, sitting down next to him.
