A few days later

Gabby and Matt woke up from the alarm for the first time in months. They were in the hotel and had had an amazing evening in the restaurant yesterday and went to bed a bit early together as tonight was to catch up on some sleep.

Every other morning, it had been their three little miracles that had woken them up instead of the alarm and as much as they loved the triplets, it was a welcome change for once. It was also the first time they had actually gotten enough hours of sleep and it had been months ago till the last time that he had felt so ready to go to work.

''Mhhmmm I don't want to leave bed.'' Matt said as he pulled her against him again and laid his chin on her shoulder, holding her close.

''We could save some time by showering together.'' She as she turned her head a bit, Matt immediately kissing her and they kept holding each other, hugging and wishing they would not have to leave bed.

Last night had been such an amazing night with a fancy dinner after all the convenience food as feeing 3 babies took so much time and they had had time for each other and slept the whole night through.

They got in the shower together, still cuddling.

''I am even starting to miss those little monsters. '' Matt admitted then.

''Well they are more like three little angels in poopy diapers.'' Gabby smirked as she stood against him, the hot water streaming over them.

''Very smelly poopy diapers.'' He laughed and kissed her on her forehead them. They washed each other, stood together and really had to get out now. They wished they could still have stayed a bit longer in the hotel like this, but Gabby was also excited to go home and see the kids again. As much as it was good to be with the two of them, they were her babies and she missed them and wanted to see how they were.

They got dressed and left the hotel then, Matt still holding her hand while driving and driving to their home, Gabby getting out of the car, kissing him.

''I love you.''

''I love you too, last night was great, thank you so much.'' He said then and Gabby smiled.

''it was amazing, thank you too.'' He smiled and they shared a kiss.

He drove to the firehouse, walking in.

Meanwhile, Gabby was also so happy to see the babies again. Her mom had dressed them all and they were having breakfast all together then, the babies in the playpen.

''How was the night with Matt in the hotel?''

''It was really good, just what we needed.'' Gabby smiled as it was true. As much as they loved their triplets, it was also good to have a goodnights sleep and spend some time with the two of them. It just put her mind at ease as well that he got lots of sleep now and hopefully went to work more rested.

Matt walked into the firehouse and Boden called him immediately in his office.

''How are you feeling?'' Boden asked then.

''I am good.''

''Any particular reason your candidate is no longer allowed to be in the common room? Why they sealed his locker?'' Boden asked then.

''Oh no! I - I just told them I thought Borelli was the one that filed the complaints, I didn't want them to act to him like this!''

''Matt,'' Boden frowned then, ''It was not Jimmy that filed the complaint.''

''Then who was it! I am sick and tired of having to wonder who threw me under the bus, just tell me please.''

Boden sighed, knew he shouldn't tell Matt because he would be so angry, but finally did so then.

''It was Chili.''

''Oh.'' Matt just said, not sure what to say.

''Matt, now don't make it worse on yourself by talking about it with her.''

''Oh no, I sure I am going to talk about it with her, just to make sure I understand her complaints well.'' Matt said determined now.

''Casey-'' Was the last thing he heard as he walked out of the office, towards the ambulance on the apparatus floor.

He walked to the ambo, angry and pulled open the door on the driver's side.

''Lieutenant Casey?'' She asked surprised and shocked, even though it also looked like he was interrupting her in something.

''I think we need to talk.'' Matt said angry as he leaned against the door.

''I don't think so.'' She said as she tried to pull the door close again. Matt kept holding the door and she still tried to pull it shut.

''Let go of the door!'' She said angry and he backed off, surprised by the smell of alcohol in her breath.

''Chili, have you been drinking?'' He asked worried.

''Get away from me!'' She stood up as she pushed him then, a flask falling out of her the pockets of her vest and Severide picked it up.

''Have you been drinking, Chili?'' Kelly asked concerned.

''I - no.'' She said then as tears welled up in her eyes.

''Chili, my office!'' Boden said loud and she walked after him, her head down and Matt leaned inside the ambo, lifting up a bottle of liquor from between the seat.

''That is not good.'' Kelly stated the obvious, most men looking in disbelief.

''Well, she is the one that complained about me.'' Matt said upset as he walked past them into the common room, feeling so guilty as he looked around for Borelli, but couldn't find him.

Matt was sitting in the locker room, not sure what to do. He just felt so bad about blaming Jimmy.

Suddenly Chili came walking into the looker room, pulled open the door and started grabbing her stuff out.

''Chili if you need any he-''

''Stop it, I am fired. I don't need anything.'' She yelled angry as tears welled up in her eyes.

''Why did you file the complaints against me?'' He asked then as he saw she was about the run off before the others would be here.

''I just thought, if you were in trouble...nobody would notice my problems, because I don't want to notice them myself.'' Chili said as she wiped her hand over her face, trying to dry the tears.

''I am sorry, but I don't think throwing me under the bus will solve your problems.'' Matt said softly. ''But the house is here for you.''

''Yeah, whatever.'' Chili said upset as she took her bag then and walked away, not even saying goodbye to most of them.

Matt walked around again, knew he had to put this straight and was glad when he finally sat Borelli sitting at the end at the apparatus floor on the ground, looking outside. Matt felt so bad, guessing he hadn't

''Borelli, can we please talk?'' Matt asked then as he walked towards the candidate.

''Yes.'' Jimmy said then and they walked outside to the small bench just outside, sat down there.

''I am so sorry about blaming you for the complaints against me. I thought it was you and I was wrong. I should have talked to you and I am sorry about how all the other guys acted to you.'' Casey admitted his mistake then.

''Thank you for your apology. It's okay though, I can't blame you being suspicious, but I will always have your back, lieutenant.''

''Thank you...and thank you for accepting my apology. I am sure the guys feel the same.''

''No harsh feelings.''

''Thanks, I appreciate it.'' Matt said, so glad Jimmy wasn't too angry but he also felt bad about blaming him.

Later in his office, he was calling Gabby.

''I found out it was Chili...and that she has been drinking on the job. She just got fired.'' Matt said on the phone.

''Oh...'' Gabby said shocked.

''Yeah, I apologized to Jimmy, but I feel bad about the whole situation.'' Matt said then.

''I am going to try to reach her, if she needs a friend, I am still here for her, if that is alright with you?'' Gabby asked then.

''Yes, she probably needs you now more than ever...and I don't know, I am angry but she needs you now.''

''Thank you.''

''love you, please tell me if you know how she is doing.''

''I will...and love you more...and now get back to the job you don't have to worry about.''

''Thank you.'' he smiled, it was so great to talk to her and they said their goodbyes again, Matt hanging up the phone then. Even though he was upset with Chili, he also knew that Gabby was her friend and that was probably what she needed now. But honestly, he could really use a hug from his wife as well and couldn't wait for the shift to be over.


NOTE: Gabby and Matt spend the night at the hotel together so that they both could catch up on some sleep and had a romantic night together. Then Matt went to shift and found it hadn't been Jimmy, but things got a bit out of hand! How will things be next chapter?
