Chapter 12

As another contraction hit her Gabby took deep breaths. She'd been at the hospital for almost an hour. "Oh!" She groaned out as the contraction stopped and she collapsed back onto the bed, "Where's Matt?"

"Remember he's on a call but he'll be here as soon as he can," Esmeralda reminded her. "Can I get you anything?"

"No, no I'll wait for Dr. Knowles to come and see me and for Matt to get here." She told her she rubbed her abdomen in soothing circles. Before she knew it she was crying, partly because she was in so much pain, and partly because she couldn't believe that in just hours she'd meet her daughter.

"You're going to be a wonderful mother," Esmeralda said as if reading her mind, she kissed her forehead and took her hand, "Celina is going to be so well loved."

Gabby thought briefly about everyone who would love her daughter and spoil her rotten, "She will be."

"Gabby!" Matt rushed into the room, still in his turnout gear. "Sorry I'm so late!" He ran to her side, took her hands and kissed her forehead. "Shay says she and Kelly will come as soon as shifts over. I think all of fifty-one will be in the waiting room."

Gabby squeezed his hands and closed her eyes, she was in more pain she'd ever been in her life and all she wanted was for him to shut-up "Matt! I….just…can you get me a Popsicle or another cold cloth?" She asked.

"I'll get it," Esmeralda spoke. She understood her daughter's frustration but knew she'd regret not having Matt when the next contraction came.

Matt sat down carefully next to her on the bed and placed both hands on her abdomen, "Gabby," He got a little teary eyed, "You're giving me the greatest gift in the world, whatever you say to me in the next hours you don't have to apologize. I' never going to be able to compare. Thank you for giving birth to our daughter," He leaned over and kissed her lips.

"Not like I have a choice Matt," She mumbled grumpily, "Now where is the doctor!" She wanted to know how dilated she was and how Celina was doing.

"I'm sure she'll be here soon Babe."

"Gabby, Matt" Dr. Knowles knocked on the door and walked into the room, "Just coming from work?" She asked Matt seeing his clothes.

"Uh yeah," Matt nodded, "So how's Celina doing Doc?"

"Well," The doctor began her exanimation, "Gabby's cervix is about 3 centimetres dilated. Sometime in the next few hours you should start active labour."

"Ugh," Gabby groaned out as she shook her head. She knew that labour could be long, especially to first time mothers but she was already in so much pain, she was dreading what was to come.

Sensing her worry Matt placed a gentle kiss on her temple, "I'll be right here with you Babe."

"I have other patients to see but I'll be back to check on you in an hour or so. Page me if anything changes," Dr. Knowles told the couple as she left the room.

Gabby was about to speak when another contraction hit her, she took Matt's hand and squeezed it and screamed.

"That's in Gabby. Just breath, breath," He coached her through it.

The contraction only lasted a few minutes luckily and when it was finished Gabby's mother had returned with the Popsicle. Now even sweatier then before Gabby licked it feverishly.

"I'll be in the waiting room. I need to call some people," Esmeralda kissed Gabby's forehead and smiled at Matt before leaving the couple alone.

Matt watched Gabby eat the Popsicle and reached for the cold cloth Esmeralda had also brought, he began to gently pat her forehead, "Do you want another one Babe?"

Gabby sighed, "No, no for now I'm good. I think going for a walk will help me. I want to move well I can. You know I can't stay in one place for long. Lets go for a walk. Can you help me sit up and put on my slippers and house coat?"

"Of course," He removed the cloth and got up off the bed, walking to the other side of the bed. He put one hand on Gabby's back and the other on her knees and supported her as she carefully sat up and swung her legs to the side of the bed. He got her housecoat and slippers from the bag and helped her put them on.

As they walked slowly down the hallway they saw some newborn babies. "You know," Matt whispered in her ear, "These babies we've seen are adorable but I know Celina will be even cuter."

Gabby turned her head and looked at him. "Every parent thinks they're baby is the cutest baby, but we're the only ones that'll be right. Why don't we go to the waiting room to see everyone and then head back to the room?"

"Whatever you want Babe?" Matt kissed her cheek. They walked slowly towards the waiting room. Eva the first one to see them, "Aunt Gabby!" She ran up to her, "I made a Baby Board for Celina on Pintrest. I'm pinning books, and clothes and cute ideas for her room. Oh and her 1st birthday too."

Gabby chuckled, she didn't want to damper her niece's enthusiasm, "Alright Eva, but I hope that all of this is on top of the babysitting you're going to do." She knew she'd need help, especially after Matt went back to work. She remembered how good it was for her to help out Laura with Eva when she was thirteen. She wanted Eva to have the same kind of experience.

"Of course," Eva nodded, she wasn't sure how excited she was about changing diapers or listening to Celina crying all the time, she loved to help though.

"Good," Gabby nodded, "You guys don't have to stay all night long. I'm not sure how long this'll take."

"I might take the kids home to sleep," Laura told her, "But we'll come back tomorrow morning."

"No, I want to stay." Eva told her, "I can sleep here, I'm sure Abuela and Abuelo are staying.

"Not now Eva," Laura warned her, changing the subject she looked at Gabby and said, "Antonio's just finishing up a big case but he said he'd come as soon as he can."

"Alright, thanks for telling me," Gabby nodded.

Eight Hours Later:

Gabby hadn't been able to get a lot of sleep due to the amount of pain she was in, and just the anticipation of giving birth. At one o'clock though she experienced the worst contraction yet. She let out a blood-curdling scream as she gripped Matt's hand as tightly as she could.

"Matt….get…." She tried to get out, but he was already ahead of her, pushing the 'call' button. Soon nurses had come and Dr. Knowles had been paged.

The contraction lasted eight minutes, and when it was finished Gabby gladly accepted her water bottle Matt was holding, Taking a long drink she swallowed the water and said, "I think that was the start of active labour.'

"You could be right," An older nurse told her, "But lets wait until the doctor get's here to be sure. Is this your first baby?" She wondered.

"Yeah," Gabby nodded, "Very nervous and excited. My names Gabby and this is my fiancée Matt."

"My names Brenda, I'm the head nurse for this shift," She smiled, "Let me know if you need anything." She looked at Matt, still in his turnout gear, "Would you like to change your clothes. You can change in the doctor's longue if you need more room."

'Oh no," Matt shook his head, "That's very nice of you but my things need to be hung up at the station. Once my friend gets here I'll drive his car over and I'll put my stuff away at the firehouse."

"Alright."

"Gabby," Dr. Knowles, walked into the room and picked up Gabby's chart on the foot of the bed, "What seems to be the issue?"

"I think I started active labour. The last contraction I had was really strong. I'm still not feeling the need to push yet so I think it'll be awhile," Gabby explained as she rubbed her abdomen.

"Alright," She put on a pair of fresh gloves, "Lets have a look." She got a chair and sat down at the edge of the bed, it took a few minutes for the examination and Gabby squeezed Matt's hand when it hurt, "I think you're right Gabby, You're now 7 centimetres dilated. I'll come back in half an hour intervals to check on you now. Try to get back to sleep if you can, you too Matt."

Matt ran a hand through his messy hair, "I'm to worried about Gabby to sleep much," He admitted, "I'll try to make sure she gets some sleep though."

Dr. Knowles smiled, she was very found of Gabby and Matt, it was clear that he was crazy about her and would do anything for her. It was nice to see that.

Once they were again left alone in the room Matt rubbed Gabby's lower back in soothing circles, "That help with the pain at all?" He asked knowing that her back had been hurting her before she'd been able to get some sleep.

"Not much but a little," She told him, "But Dr. Knowles is right, you should try and get some sleep. It could be a few more hours. Believe me if anything happens I'll wake you up." She motioned to the cot the nurses had set up for Matt.

Matt seemed hesitant at first but gave in. He was very tired and supposed Gabby was right, plus he didn't want to be too tired when Celina finally came. He leaned forwards and placed a kiss on her lips, "I love you both so much."

"We love you too."

At ten o'clock the next morning, just as Shay and Severide were walking into the room Gabby was being wheeled out to delivery. Shay gave her hand a small squeeze; "We'll come see all three of you later."

Gabby, who was unable to talk much just offered her best friend a little smile. The nurses wheeled her into the delivery room and half an hour later Celina was born.

"Oh she's beautiful," Gabby cried as a nurse placed Celina on her chest, Gabby kissed her wrinkled skin and stared at her.

Matt also couldn't take his eyes off his new daughter; her skin was darker, more like Gabby's and she had a head full of dark brown hair already. She was simply gorgeous. "She's perfect Gabby thank you." He leaned in to kiss her.

The nurses cleaned Gabby up and then took Celina away to be examined. They brought her back wrapped in a blanket and with a pink hat on. "Go tell everyone she's here. I think I'm up for short visits with everyone."

"Alright, lets put her in her outfit though first. I'd like that for pictures."

"Of course," Gabby laughed, one of the outfit's Eva had ordered for them Matt particularly liked and they decided to have Celina wear that as her first outfit.

Gabby was wheeled back to the room, as Matt got Celina's outfit out and a soother Gabby just kept looking at Celina, "I was so worried something would go wrong," She admitted, "I'm still worried-"

Holding onto the items Matt turned to look at her, "Don't think like that Gabby. Tell you what though, why don't I just go and show Celina to everyone and you can get some sleep."

Gabby was more tired then she'd ever been in her life, and every part of her ached. She didn't want to let Celina go though.

"Gabby, you're exhausted, everyone will understand, they can come back later this afternoon or tomorrow."

"Alright," Gabby handed Celina to Matt, smiling as he held onto her protectively. As soon as Matt was out of the door Gabby was asleep.
