Chapter 3
Matt and Gabby walked up the steps to Laura and Antonio's house. They were going to have dinner with them before going into work for their shift the next morning. Gabby had wanted to tell Antonio before the firehouse just in case word got around the district about it.
Knocking on the door it wasn't long before it was answered by Eva, the twelve year old smiling, "Hi Aunt Gabby, Uncle Matt!" She greeted them stepping aside, "Mom's in the kitchen and Dad is playing soccer with Diego outside. I made desert," She added proudly, "All on my own."
"Well then I'm sure it'll be delicious," Matt smiled, "You look more and more grown-up each time we see you," He shook his head.
"Thanks," She blushed slightly, it was no secret she had a slight crush on him, "I should go and help Mom," She turned so fast she didn't even see her mother and so she bumped right into her.
"Eva what's the rush?" Laura asked.
"Nothing," Eva recovered, "Just.. uh going to see if you were coming. Can I go now?"
"No, we have company. Go and get your brother and father for me."
"Gladly!" She took off.
"I hope I didn't cause her embarrassment," Matt looked to Laura for an answer.
"Oh she's twelve, everything embarrass her; but she gets over it quickly," Laura told him, "It think its kind of cute she has a little crush on you."
"Me too," Gabby smiled, "She has good taste in guys."
"Yeah," Matt looked confused, "She has a crush on me?"
"Yes!" Gabby laughed, "For a fee months now. Didn't you know?"
"No!"
"Oh men are clueless," She shook her head as she and Laura continued to laugh. "Need any help Laur?"
"No, no you just relax. You have shift tomorrow. I think everything's almost ready to go into the oven."
"Hey!" Antonio walked into the living room and hugged Gabby," How're you doing sis?" He pulled back and fist bumped her.
"I'm alright," She grinned looking at Matt, "We do have some news though," She said and took a deep breath, "I'm pregnant."
"Gabby that's fantastic!" Antonio pulled her into another hug, "You're going to make a great mother."
"Thanks," She smiled at him.
"Oh Gabby I'm so happy for you," He hugged her again and then hugged Matt, "You'll make a great father bro," He told him causing Matt to grin.
"Oh I'm happy for you too," Laura hugged Gabby and then said, "I think we still have some of Diego's old baby things in the basement. I'll try and see if I can dig them out for you."
"Awe, the baby is going to be adorable," Eva, grinned, "I can't wait to hold her. I hope it's a girl. Mom can we g baby shopping?"
"We'll get her some things," Laura laughed at her enthusiasm, "But first lets all sit down alright. I'm sure they don't even know what they're having yet."
"No," Gabby shook her head, "Not for a few more months. I'm just twelve weeks along. I've told Mom and Dad though so they know and they're thrilled. We'll tell firehouse fifty-one tomorrow and Matts' sister and niece next weekend."
"I can't wait to meet him or her," Eva said again, "And they'll be born in February right?"
"Very good math," Gabby nodded, "I'm due around Valentines Day actually."
"Oh that's even cuter!" Eva exclaimed,
"Stop saying those words!" Diego groaned as he covers his eyes and sulked, "Don't you know any others. Those are the only words you use anymore."
"I know how to tell you to shut up!" She yelled.
"That's enough!" Antonio looked between them; "Both of you just get along."
"Fine," They mumbled knowing their father was serious.
"Alright," Chief Boden looked up at Matt and Gabby, "Before we end the briefing session and start our shift I believe Lieutenant Casey and Gabby have some news they' like to share with us. They told him the news before the briefing session had stated and he'd been thrilled for both of them. He knew they'd be excellent parents.
"Thanks Chief," Matt smiled leading Gabby up to the front of the room. He wanted to shout their news to the world and it was killing him not being able to tell them when they had arrived, so he didn't waste anytime now, "We're pregnant." The room erupted into cheers and they were swarmed with hugs and well wishes.
"Congratulations kid," Hermann walked up to Gabby and gave her a hug, "You're going to make a excellent mother. Cindy and I still have some baby things from our last baby. I'll bring them by next shift."
"Thanks," Gabby smiled.
"Now I'll be taking her," Shay led Gabby away to the ambulance so they could talk. "So," they climbed in and Shay shut the door, "Tell me how hot is Matt being now?"
"Hot?" She laughed.
"Oh you know how much Matt wants to be a father! We both know he's going to be more overprotective of you and cute because he's touching your stomach all the time."
"I guess," She replied, "We're both pretty excited. I can't wait until we find out the gender. Oh and I'm going to start to register for some classes and I'll let you know when they are."
"Alright," She nodded smiling, "Have you thought about the birth plan yet?"
"No not yet, I'm still reading through some of the books," She replied. "I have to go to the washroom I'll be right back," She got out of the ambulance and walked back into the firehouse and towards the bathroom, On her way back she made a detour to Matt's office. "Hey Baby,"
"Gabby," He looked up from his paperwork and smiled at her, "How're you feeling?"
"A little sore but that's normal. I love how happy you are about this," She walked over to him and sat in his lap kissing him, "Promise to be extra careful on calls?"
"I promise,' He kissed her in return placing a hand over her abdomen, "Do you promise to be extra careful too?"
"Yeah," She nodded, "At least until you and Boden make me go on early maternity leave,"
"I know you don't like sitting at home and doing nothing babe but I'm sire they're be something for you to do. Like organizing the nursery."
"Yeah maybe," She shrugged, "I'm not going to worry about that now though, it's a few months away still."
"Good idea," He kissed her again. Gabby kissed him back in return their kiss was getting deeper when the call bell went off signalling them all to a house fire.
