Thank you everyone for the reviews and the follows. I really apreciate it.

Abbey's POV

We barely had time to get back in that the overhead paging system went off.

Ambulance 61 and 44, Squad 3, Truck 81 and Engine 51, warehouse fire, Industrial district.

I got behind the wheel while Brett took the passenger side. When we got to the scene, the building was already engulfed in flames. Both Casey and Severide barked their orders to the other members of their respective teams before they all went in. The four of us waited patiently by our ambulances, waiting to hear about possible victims. As time went by and the boys didn't come out, a feeling of uneasiness crawled over me that I immediatly voiced my concern.

"Chief." I enquired. My eyes were starting to look panicked.

"Casey, Severide report." He called in the walkie. After a few seconds and no answer he tried again. "Casey, Severide. I want an update NOW."

"We're all accounted for. We're coming out with three vics." Severide's voice came to life in our own walkies.

I breathed a sigh of relief because I knew that Mills was ok. As mad as I was with him right now, I always wanted him to come out safe from a rescue. All I was hoping now was to hear Casey's voice come through to signale they were all safe.

"We have one more area to search chief and then we're out." Casey said.

"Alright girls. Get ready to take care of the three victims."

"Copy that chief." We all replied. The guys quickly came out with their victims. Two looked worst than the other one so we each took one and put them on the backboard. As I was checking the man's lungs, I started looking for Mills but couldn't find him as I did a quick sweep with my eyes. I didn't have time to make sure he was out because we had to make our way to Chicago Med. Both ambulances sped away hoping our boys would be ok.

Mill's POV

Chief's voice came over our walkies loud and clear. We had managed to find three victims in the area of the warehouse we were searching. We were all heading out when I heard a voice farthar away from the group.

"I'm going to go check it out Lieutenant." I called out.

"Make it quick." Severide told me. I knew time was against me but I had to check it out. I walked towards where I had heard the voice coming from and saw a woman lying on the floor caughing.

"Fire Department can you hear me?" I was hoping against all odds to get an answer but I knew it wouldn't come. "Chief, I have an unconscience woman here. We'll need another ambulance to come check her out."

"Copy that, one is already in route towards us." chief replied.

I tried to pull the woman out but she seems to be trapped somehow. I tried to assess her injuries quickly because it was starting to be hard to see through all that smoke. When I tried to remove her leg from where it was crushed, I heard the cieling crack and thn everything went black.

Matt's POV

"We have to move quickly to the last area because this building isn't stable anymore." I had done this job long enough to know when we needed to get out as fast as we could and this was one of these times. I ordered Cruz to stick with me and for the others to leave. There didn't seem to be anyone there until I could hear the faint sound of a pass alarm. The smoke became thicker as we moved closer to the sound and as I saw who it was, a chill went down my spine. Mills. He was stuck under some debries and I had to call the guys back to our location because we wouldn't be able to move the two unconscience victims by ourselves. Cruz, Herrmann and Otis took Mills while I took the woman with Mouch. We quickly made it out and handed them both to two more ambos that had been called to the scene.

"What hospital did the girls go chief?" I knew Abbey would want to know about Mills and that she'd be crushed.

"Chicago Med. We'll tell them when we get there Casey."

I went to the paramedics that were tending to Mills. "You need to go to Chicago Med." I instructed them.

"I can't do that lieutenant. The just called over our system saying the ER is full." he informed me.

"Than call them and tell them to make an exception. This firefighter needs to go to Chicago Med." I couldn't do that to Abbey. She needed to know about it while she was still there. They loaded Mills in the ambo before answering me.

"Chicago Med it is." They said and closed the doors.

"Pack it up guys, we're going to Chicago Med." I ordered the guys and we were gone withing five minutes. I had heard chief had asked that our calls be rerouted so we headed directly to the hospital. Cruz parked the truck in the emergency vehicule section and everyone jumped out and we went in to try to get any kind of update on Mills. As soon as I got to the waiting area, I noticed that Abbey was finishing up her paperwork so I walked up to her.

"Hey." She smiled at me. "What are you guys doing here?" her smiled faded as she saw the look on my face. "Who's hurt?" She asked her lips starting to tremble. I think she already knew the answer to that but I had to tell her.

I held onto her because I knew this news would kill her. "It's Mills. A beam fell on him, he was brought in here a few minutes ago."

The cry that escaped her lips echoed off the walls of the room full of people and I could feel her knees buckling under her weight as I held her up as best as I could. "Where is he?" she begged. I took a look at Cruz and imediatly he went in search of a nurse to find out where Mills was taken. He returned a few seconds later.

a"He's in surgery. They found some blood in his brain and some swelling." he reported grimly. Her reaction was instantanious. She fell to her knees and emptied the contents of her stomach on the floor. Otis went to get a nurse so we could take care of her. We were gestured towards a room that was normally reserved to the staff so we could all wait there. Abbey was sitting with her head against my shoulder and a new accessory: an IV pole and fluid to rehydrate her. We all sat there with grim expressions waiting to hear some news. At this point, I didn't care if someone knew about us because I had to be there for her. And then I spotted Gabby, crying softly in Shay's arms that was trying to comfort her. This must be hard for her too. She was dating Mills after all. It took a few more hours of waiting before someone came out to give us an update.

"Family of Peter Mills?" A doctor who looked to be somewhere in his 30's asked. Chief stood up for the rest of the group. Abbey lifted her head up and rose with my help and pulled her pole towards the man as Shay and Gabby did the same.

"That's us." Chief said.

"Mr Mills suffered a blow to the head that tore some blood vessels so we had to go in and stop the bleed. Due to the severity of the blow, there is a lot of swelling in the brain so we put him in a drug induced coma to help him heal better and bring the swelling down. We will know more in the next 24-48 hours."

"Can we see him?" Abbey's voice was so soft it was hard to hear in the crowded room but the doctor heard her anyways.

"He is in ICU right now so unfortunately he can't have visitors tonight but tomorrow, you can sit with him, one person at a time." He told us and walked away.

"Thank you doctor." Chief said before turning towards us. "Everybody head back to the station, there's not much more we can do tonight. We will come back when shift is over." I helped Abbey back down in a chair and walked toward chief asking if we could talk in private.

"Chief, I was wondering if you could find a relief lieutenant for the rest of shift? I want to stay with Abbey because I know she wont want to leave here."

"Is there something I should know Casey?"

"All due respect chief, I'm sure you already do." I tried to smile. Boden was a very observant man.

"Ok, I'll get Herrmann to cover for you. I'll going to ask a relief medic to run with Brett for the rest of shift. Shay will be able to stay with Gabby."

"Thank you chief." I extended my hand which he shook. I went back to where Abbey was sitting and I helped her make her way to the ICU on the first floor. Gabby and Shay were close behind us. Even though we couldn't visit him tonight, there was a small waiting area with couches that the four of us sat in and waited. Abbey fell asleep her knees up to her chin and her head against my shoulder. Gabby was laying down with her head on Shay's lap completely exhausted. We spent the whole night there eventually Shay and I falling asleep too. The next morning, when he was moved to a more quiet area of the ICU, Abbey had her IV removed and sat next to his bed, holding his hand. Everyone had agreed that she needed to be the one to see him first but every time we tried to get her to come eat or have something to drink, she flat out refused to go anywhere. The nurses eventually let us be two visitors at a time as long as we were quiet. She frequently fell asleep with her head on his bed. As the rest of us came and went, she stayed there for two whole days, leaving the room only to shower in the staff shower and taking a few bites of what I had brought her before resuming her position next to him.

Abbey's POV

As soon as the word came out of Matt's mouth, it felt more real. Mills had been injured and the injuries were severe. What happened next was a complete blur. All I knew was that he was in sergury and had been placed in a coma to help bring down the swelling. Even though I understood all the words, my brain was refusing to process them. I spent the next two days sitting at his bedside and refusing to leave except to shower in the nurses lounge and eating a few bites. After my most recent shower, I was able to be completely alone with him.

"Hey Pete, it's me, Abbey." I wasn't sure he could hear me but I needed to get it off my chest. "I'm sorry about our fight. I know it was stupid and I was stupid for being so mad at you. I'm happy for you and Gabby but you need to wake up and let me apologize to your face so being such a childish brat." The tears were falling freely now and I prayed to whoever could hear it for him to wake up so I could fix us.

a/n: I seemed to be on a writing roll for this story so I decided i'd post another chapter quickly. I hope you liked it and i can't wait to read your reviews, they are always apreciated.
