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!
Next day- Dawson Family Household
"Hey, remember a couple of weeks ago, Matt and I were meant to take the kids out." Gabby said, as she helped Laura in the kitchen.
"Yeah I remember," Laura replied, looking at her.
"Was thinking after shift tomorrow, I could take them to the park or the Pier or something." Gabby said, washing the cups.
"If you feel up to it sure. I think they would enjoy that." Laura said, drying the plates and bowls.
"Great, it's settled then." Gabby said, grinning widely.
"What's settled?" Antonio asked joining them.
"Oh you know, going to take the kids sky diving and bungee jumping tomorrow after shift." Gabby said casually.
"Ugh-what?" He exclaimed, choking on his coffee.
"Relax bro, just kidding." Gabby said as they laughed uncontrollably.
"When they are older. Like way older. As in when they don't live under my roof older." He said laughing with them.
"I'd better get going, can't be late for first shift back." Gabby said, kissing their cheeks.
"Have a good shift." "Be careful." They both called at the same time.
"You worry to much." Laura said, hugging him.
"I'm allowed to." He replied, kissing her.
Firehouse 51
"Welcome back Dawson." Everyone yelled as she walked through the garage doors.
"Hey guys," she said, hugging them all even Rafferty before going into the locker rooms.
"Ambulance 61...man down...unknown causes." Dispatched called over the PA system.
"You ready?" Shay asked as they got into the front cab.
"Yeah. I'm happy to be back," Gabby said as Rafferty got in the back and slammed the door closed.
"It's good to have you back." Rafferty said from the back.
"So girls night tomorrow?" Shay asked as they drove.
"Definitely. I will have Eva and Diego with me though." Gabby said as they pulled up in front of a warehouse.
"A warehouse? How original." Rafferty quipped, not seeing Gabby's pale face as she passed.
"You okay Dawson?" Shay asked, noticing Gabby stop and stare at the warehouse.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." She said grabbing a backboard and a medikit.
"CFD! Call out!" Shay yelled, Gabby jumped as the sound reverbrated through the warehouse.
"Over here." A woman called, running from around the corner.
"What happened?" Gabby asked, as they knelt down next to the man.
"I don't know. He grabbed at his chest before he collapsed." The woman said, explaining his symptoms as she moved back to give them space to work.
"What's his name?" Rafferty asked, looking up at her.
"Kurt." She replied, looking down at them.
"Was he having difficulty breathing before he collapsed?" Shay asked, as they attached the heart monitor to his exposed chest.
"Yeah, he was complaining of some chest pain," She said, watching them work.
"Sounds like he is having a heart attack. Rafferty, go get the gurney ready. Shay and I will bring him out on the backboard," Gabby said, as they quickly gathered their stuff and prepped him for transport.
"Gotcha." Rafferty said, before going back the way she came.
"Ma'am, I'm going to need you to carry this while we move him outside." Shay said, handing her the heart moniter.
"OK." She said, following them outside where Rafferty was waiting with the gurnery.
"You can ride upfront with me." Leslie said as Gabriela and Alison jumped into the back and slammed the doors close.
"Which hospital are we going to?" She asked, as they drove off.
"Lakeshore." Shay replied, as she maneuvered the ambulance through the morning traffic.
Lakeshore
"Male, mid to late thirties. Suspected heart attack." Shay said as they passed the Intelligence detectives in the hallway, who were re-grouping after questioning the patient from yesterday.
"We'll take it from here." A doctor said, taking the gurney.
"Hey, how you holding up?" Antonio asked, approaching his younger sister.
"Great." She replied, as her radio came to life.
"Ambulance 61, do you copy?" Dispatched called.
"Sorry. Ambulance 61 copies." Dawson said back, giving him an apologetic look.
"Woman down at 310 North State Street." Dispatched said.
"North state street is popular this week," Shay commented as she wheeled the gurney past.
"You got that right," Gabby replied. "I'll talk to you later."
"Be careful." He called after her.
"You worry to much." Lindsay said, as he rejoined the group.
"Now you sound like my wife." Antonio chuckled.
"Now that is a scary thought." Halstead said as they made their way out the door to see 61 pull out of the ambulance bay with lights and sirens screaming.
Firehouse 51
"You lot have been busy this morning," Cruz commented as Gabby headed towards the bathrooms.
"Yeah. Is she okay?" Otis asked as they watched her walk off.
"I'm not sure, I'll go talk to her." Shay said, following her best friend.
Bathroom
"You okay?" Leslie asked, standing next to Gabby.
"Yeah. I'm okay. Just the warehouse brought up some memories." Gabby said, leaning against the sinks.
"Awh sweetie. You're safe now, that's all that matters. Voight is going to go away for a long time." Shay said, hugging her as she cried.
"I hope so." Gabby said, hugging her friend tighter.
"Dawson, you're brother and sister-in-law are here." Cruz said, walking into the bathroom.
"Thanks." Gabby said, as she followed Leslie out to the common room while wiping her tears.
"You okay?" Laura asked, with a worried expression.
"Yeah, I'm good. Just a little moment." She replied, hugging her.
"Okay. Why don't the kids stay at yours tomorrow night." Laura suggested as they walked outside.
"Say no more. We know when we aren't wanted." Gabby said, not wanting to know about her brother's sex life.
"Been busy?" Laura asked as they sat out in the spring sun.
"Yeah, we got a call to an abandoned warehouse, so that call wasn't pleasant." Gabby said, knowing she had to tell someone before Shay did.
"So that's why you looked like you had been crying." Laura said, putting the pieces together.
"Yeah. I finish work at 8.30 tomorrow morning. I'll pick the kids up around 9.00-9.15." Gabby said, as they made their way back inside.
"Sounds like a plan." Laura said, as they walked into the common room.
"The girls are coming around to mine tomorrow night. Was thinking of doing one every Saturday night." Gabby said, as they sat with Shay and Rafferty.
"Sounds great." They replied, as Kelly joined them.
"Hey." He said, looking around guiltily.
"What have you done?" Shay, Rafferty and Dawson asked at the same time, knowing what antics their friend could get up to.
"Nothing,"he replied, sitting next to Shay.
"Where's Antonio?" Laura asked suspiciously.
"Don't know," Severide replied with a guilty expression.
"Lose something?" Capp asked, walking in with Antonio behind him.
"Where was he?" Laura asked, as Antonio sat next to her.
"I got locked into one of squad's compartments." He said, looking at Kelly.
"Who would do such a thing?" Severide said, looking up with an innocent expression instead.
"I don't know, one certain squad lieutenant," Antonio said throwing a wad of paper at him.
"Ambulance 61...back up requested by CPD." Dispatched called over the PA system.
"That's us. Again." Gabby said, getting up and making for it to the rig.
On scene
"Caught this one stealing from the convenience store over there. Manager followed after him, caught up to him before us and started beating the shit outta the kid. Kid turned on him and fought back with a knife. Kid won't let us near him, manager has already been taken to Lakeshore," Atwater said, as they grabbed their medikits.
"Thanks. Hi sweetie, my name is Gabby." Gabriela said approaching the boy.
"I don't give a shit what your name is. Stay away from me." He said, looking at them with fear in his eyes.
"Sweetie, we are here to help you. We won't hurt you," Shay said, kneeling next to Gabby.
"Promise?" He asked, looking at the two women.
"Promise. Now come over here to the ambulance where we can assess you properly." Gabby said, kicking away the dropped knife.
"Nicely done." Rafferty said as they made their way to the ambulance.
Lakeshore
"I'm going to quickly go see Matt," Gabby said, finishing her side of the paperwork.
Upstairs
"Hey babe," Matt said, as she walked into his room.
"Hey yourself," she replied, kissing him.
"Doc said I can be out of here on Friday." Matt said holding her hand.
"That's great baby," Gabby smiled, kissing his cheek.
"I'm sorry I can't be there for the hearing. But Antonio will be with you the whole time. I will try and bargain with the doctor about getting a day pass for it." Matt said, sending her an apologetic look.
"It's okay baby. I understand. I better go before they get worried. Diego, Eva and I will be back tomorrow morning," Gabby said, kissing him.
"See you tomorrow." He said, waving to her.
Firehouse 51
"How's Matt?" Severide asked as they are dinner.
"Good, he will be released next Friday. He is going to try and get a day pass for the hearing." Gabby said as everyone beamed.
"Nothing will keep him from the hearing or the firehouse." Herrmann commented, as everyone laughed.
"You got that right." Gabby said, laughing with them.
Next day- 8.30am
"See you tonight." Gabby said, as she walked towards her car.
"See you then," the girls replied, waving as they left.
Dawson Family Household
"Morning," Laura said, letting Gabby in as she had moved back into her apartment yesterday.
"Morning, are they ready?" Gabby asked, hugging her sister-in-law.
"Nearly, they are having breakfast. They are looking forward to today." Laura said, as they walked into the kitchen/dining room.
"Morning you two." Gabby said, kissing Eva and Diego's heads.
"Morning Aunt Gabby," they said as Antonio walked into the kitchen.
"Morning." He said, kissing Laura and the kids.
"Morning." Gabby replied, sipping her coffee as he kissed her cheek,
"Where are we going today?" Diego asked, turning to look at them.
"Navy Pier, some museums maybe." Gabby said as their eyes lit up with excitement.
