Chapter 2

For the fifth time that morning Gabby felt as if she was going to be sick; she rushed towards the washroom and barely made it to the toilet. She figured that by now there wouldn't be anything left in her stomach; either way though she felt just awful, about as awful as she'd ever felt in her life.

"Gabby," Matt gently wrapped his arms around her, "Please let me do something," He was almost begging. He hating seeing her like this; hating to even think he had anything to do with the way she was feeling. "There has to be something that'll make you feel better."

"I don't know," She turned to look at him, "This is all new to me too. I know some woman get really bad morning sickness, I guess I'm just one of them. I guess it's late enough now that you can call Leslie if you want. The books we got yesterday are still in her locker at the station, at least unless she took them back t her place."

"Right," He nodded, "You go back to bed and rest. I'll call her and see of she can bring them over here."

"I'll go online and see what I can research online."

"No, no. You said you feel queasy; just rest. Let me take care of you."

"Matt I sit up at least," She retrieved her lap top from the desk, "Go and call Leslie alright."

"Fine," He nodded and took his cell phone and finding his friend's number. They talked on the phone and Shay said she'd brought the books back to the apartment with her and that she' being them by there place.

"She going to bring them by?" Gabby asked.

"Yeah," Matt joined her on the bed moving close to her, "Said she'd be here soon. So…" He couldn't help but look at her stomach, "When did you want to tell everyone the news?"

"You mean my family? I'd like to tell my parents and Antonio soon. Maybe we can invite them all out for dinner in the next week or so. That's okay right?"

"Yeah," Matt nodded; he loved how important her family was to her. "Whatever you want. I'm sure Christie will be thrilled too. So would my Mom if I knew how to get a hold of her," He shook his head.

"I'm sure Christie and Violet will both me very happy," She smiled, "We haven't see them in awhile. It'll be good to see them again. I keep saying that I think Violet and Eva would get along. Maybe we could do a big dinner and tell them all at the same time.

"Uh…" Matt took in a deep breath, counted to ten and then let it out. As he did he began looking around the bedroom. "You know maybe that's not a good idea."

Gabby could tell that he was unsure of the idea; she squeezed his hand, "Why not?"

"I don't know it just seems like this is really important news. We should share it with them in smaller groups. It's not that the shouldn't meet but maybe not right now."

"Well they're going to have to meet before the wedding," She explained, "We need to talk about that too. Did you want to get married before the baby comes?"

"I want whatever you want," He knew she'd dreamed of a big wedding since she was a little girl. "If you need more time to plan it then we can wait. I don't need to be married to you to love you and this baby."

Growing up she'd been a bit of a tomboy but she'd always loved the idea of getting married. She'd often dreamed of the perfect man and how he would like her for being a little loud and independent. A part of her still wanted that big wedding and celebration but the other part knew Matt was right, the loved each other and their baby.

"I think we can wait and little bit; lets not rush things; it should be perfect. I want everything to be perfect," She leaned it to kiss him and then rested her head on his chest as she set her lap top down bedside her. "I can't stop smiling; I just can't wait to have our baby grow inside of me, to feel it move and grow and everything.

Matt kissed the top of her head and held her tightly, "You have no idea how happy you've made me Gabby," He'd wanted to be a father for quite some time and he couldn't picture a better mother for his baby, "I don't think I've ever been this happy, these past few months not including the explosion and Antonio getting shot have been good."

At the mention of her brother Gabby rolled her eyes, "My brother is lucky Laura knows he's s stubborn ass and loves him anyway. Going back to work a week after he was shot.- I would have killed him myself if I know Laura didn't ream him out."

"Antonio," Matt chuckled, "You two are alike in that way you can't sit still for long."

"Yeah but I'd like to think I wouldn't go back to work that quickly. I'm smarter then my idiot brother."

"I'll remind you of that when you're eight months pregnant and can't do anything."

"You better not," She warned.

"Oh I will," Matt playfully responded as he began kissing behind her ear, the shot he knew drove her crazy.

"Oh Matt," Gabby let out a sharp moan, "Matt…" She was just about to roll over in his arms when his cell phone rang.

'That's probably Shay with the books," He let out a sigh of frustration, "I'll let her in and be right back." He answered the phone and then heard her voice on the intercom in the lobby, he pressed the key to unlock the door. "I'll get the books and bring them back in here."

"I'll come," Gabby quickly got dressed and followed Matt, "I have something to ask her anyways."

"Fine," Matt nodded and walked into the living room and waited for Shay to knock on the door. When she did he answered it.

"Here they are," She handed over a bag, "How's she doing?"

"I'm alright," Gabby walked into the room, "My sickness seems to have settled now. I'll just be careful of what I eat today. Hopefully some of the books have some ideas."

"Yes and I'll look through them well you sleep," Matt told her.

"Oh I need to know all of this stuff we can look at the books together," She explained, "I bought some fro you that you can read."

"Great," Matt put the bag on the living room table and began taking out the books and flipping through them.

"Aw," Shay grinned, "The baby's going to be so lucky to have both of you as parents. And believe me I'm going to spoil him or her for sure."

"You know that brings me to my question," Gabby said, "I was wondering if you wanted to be my birth coach?"

"Birth coach?" Matt piped up from the coach, "What's that?"

"It's someone who goes to all the pre-natal classes with me and is there in the delivery room with me when I'm in labour."

Matt was a bit offended that Gabby would ask Shay when he was more then willing to do all of those things for her. "No offense to Shay but I think I'd like to be with you."

"Oh don't worry you will be," She promised, "I'll be breaking your fingers and swearing at you. I just I want someone who is there and who knows a bit about the process and has my best interests at heart."

"Okay," Matt nodded, "I trust you, just as long as you want me there too."

"I promise you'll be there Babe, unless I kick you out!"

"Why would you lick me out?"

"Because you might get on my nerves; but we have six months to worry about that."

Six month? He'd known that before but hearing her say it seemed to make it all that much real. There was o much that needed to be done. He needed to plan out how he wanted to make the nursery and build everything. Then they needed to buy everything their baby would need like clothes and toys and other things.

"We have plenty of time," Gabby saw him mentally freaking out, "And I know you'll want to build as much of the baby's furniture as you can. I think that's a great idea Baby."

"Kelly will help," Shay told them, "And if eh wont' well then I'll deal with him."

"I bet," Matt chuckled, "Well I'll need to do some measurements of the room first and then go from there. I'll probably start building things in maybe a month or so."

"I'll tell him. You two have fun. I want details when we go back on shift. Like possible names and what you want the baby to be,"

"Okay Shay." Gabby promised, "See you later," She waved goodbye as Shay left the apartment. "It's okay to be scared Matt," She said as she walked over to the couch I feel scared too. We just have to believe that we can do this. Now I think I'm going to call my Mom and tell her. She'll start looking for some of my old baby things.

"You think we're having a girl?" He looked up from the book he was currently reading.

"Call it mother's intuition," She got out her cell phone.

"Hello?" Esmeralda picked up on the second ring.

"Hi Mom, its me."

"Oh Gabriela sweetheart. This is a nice surprise. How are you and Matt doing?"

"We're doing fine Mom; I have something to tell you. I'm pregnant."

"Oh!" Her mother let out a gasp, "Oh sweetie that's great! You and Matt must be so thrilled. Oh let me tell your father he'll be so happy."

"Okay Ma; but don't' tell Antonio or Laura. I want to tell them. I'm glad you're happy. I was a little worried."

"I know we always said you should be married before you have kids but that boy would never leave you. Matt loves you very much Gabby; and you're engaged and I know that you'll both make fantastic parents. I'll tell your father to call you when he gets back from work. You must all get together for dinner some time."

"We'd like that."

"Good. We'll talk later."

"Okay, bye mom."

"Bye sweetheart."
