4 weeks later, early march
''The head is right here...everything is looking good so far.'' the gynecologist smiled as she finished up the internal ultrasound and Gabby sighed relieved. Working right here, she had seen so many of these ultrasounds before and even though she hadn't been nervous, she was glad to hear the pregnancy was going well and at 8 weeks, their baby was growing well.
''The baby should be expected late October, I will see you again in about two months for another ultrasound.''
''That is when we can find out the gender.'' Gabby told Matt, excited.
''Oh yeah, it is about time we get some testosterone in the house with you and Gen constantly ganging up on me.'' Matt smirked as they finished up the doctors visit. Even though it was one of the doctors Gabby worked for, she was coming home with him now as she had the day off and at home they looked at the small picture they had been given of the ultrasound. The baby was just a small spot in the picture as it was still very early in the pregnancy but it was nice to have, since they were going to tell the family. They had still waited until this first appointment as Gabby was a bit concerned and nervous, but now that they knew everything was fine they were excited to tell everybody.
''Maybe we can go to Antonio's after dinner. We should tell Genevieve first, then we can to Antonio?''
''Yeah, that would be good.'' Matt smiled as he parked his car at home and they walked inside.
For a second neither of them knew what to do because they weren't home so often but they sat down on the couch together then.
''I am sure he or she is going to be gorgeous, hoping that he or she will look like mommy.'' Matt said then and she smiled.
''Or like her or his handsome daddy.''
''I am sure the baby is going to be gorgeous.'' Matt said then and Gabby got up, taking her hand and walked to the kitchen with him to make dinner together. Usually he would work construction on days like this and she would work but as they were both home now and also wanted to surprise Genevieve, they were also making her favorite dish.
They finished dinner, Matt setting the table then and Gabby finishing the food, not wanting him around too much cause he was not the best cook and Gen came home then.
''What is for dinner, I am starving!'' She said as she sat down, so hungry after school and Gabby put the plate down in front of her.
''I made your fave.'' Gabby smiled as she put the pasta with spinach and salmon in front of Gen and she smiled excited.
''Oooh! To what do I owe that.''
''Well, we have some exciting news.'' Gabby smiled as she sat down, Matt also looking excited.
''Oh you are having a baby!'' She squeaked excited and they nodded, taking the picture of the ultrasound this morning and handing it her and she sighed endeared.
''Aww that will be my little brother or sister.''
''You will be 17 years apart though.'' Gabby smirked as she thought it was funny that Gen called their little baby her little sibling.
''That doesn't matter.'' Gen smiled, ''I am so excited for you!''
Matt sighed relieved as he had been a bit worried to her response but she seemed so happy.
They finished dinner and left to go tell the family then.
''I can't wait to tell Eva!'' Genevieve said so excited and Gabby and Matt smiled at each other as they thought it was a bit sweet that she was so excited even though she was already 17. They drove to the house of her brother and were let in, Eva immediately sitting beside Gen.
''So we have some news.'' Gabby smiled, ''and I am not going to let you wait, I am pregnant, we are expecting a baby.''
Antonio jumped up, hugging his sister as he knew how bad she and Matt wanted a baby and was happy that the couple were expecting a baby then.
''How long along are you! Congratulations!'' He said as he hugged her and she smiled.
''8 weeks. We wanted to see how the pregnancy was going before telling anyone, but we had our first appointment today and everything is going fine. The baby is growing well, I got some medication for morning sickness and the baby should come in late October.'' she smiled then.
''Congrats on your too man, you will be a great dad!'' Antonio said as he hit Matt against the shoulder.
''And you are going to be the crazy aunt?'' Antonio teased Gen and she chuckled.
''I am thinking about it but I think I will for the supportive older sister.'' Genevieve smiled and Eva smiled.
''I can be the crazy aunt.''
''I am the crazy uncle, you are a once removed cousin, Eva!'' Antonio said and they all laughed.
After chatting a bit more and Antonio even giving some of the baby stuff he still had from his children to Matt and Gabby, they went home and at home he wrapped his arms around her, his hands on the place where her baby bump would be, except for a slight bulge there was not much there yet.
''Everybody is so excited...and so am I!'' he said then.
''Me too...and I am glad Gen is happy too.''
''She is going to be a great sister...to a beautiful sweet baby with an awesome mommy.'' He mumbled, falling asleep and they fell asleep n each other's arm, happy about
The next day, Matt had a shift and he drove down to the firehouse, parking the car and was ready for shift.
Excited Matt walked into the firehouse for his shift. He was going to tell everybody there today as well and he couldn't wait for their response. Suddenly he thought about an original way to tell them and after changing he walked to the kitchen to do his ritual the same as every shift, grab a mug and some coffee.
''Your mug is over there.'' Jimmy said then as he had just done the dishes but Lt. Casey kept looking through the cabinet. He knew the one he was looking for had to be around here. Finally he saw it in the back and grabbed the mug out that Herrmann's son had brought to the firehouse once. He poured the coffee in it and leaned back, chatting with Severide. Finally Severide looked at the mug and frowned then.
''World greatest dad? Are congratulations in order?'' Severide asked then.
''Yeah.'' Matt smiled and Severide jumped up.
''No way! Congratulations!''
The rest of the men and Brett and Chili were cheering as well, congratulating Matt as well.
''We are expecting the baby in late October.'' Matt smiled then, ''We found out four weeks ago but wanted to keep it a secret till the first check up. But yeah, Casey or Dawson Junior is already causing havoc, making Gabby sick, but we are both of the moon.''
''Then it definitely will be Casey junior.'' Severide teased him and Matt just teasingly pushed his friend.
''We will find out if it is a boy or a girl in 8 weeks...but for now we are just happy the pregnancy is going well so far.'' Matt smiled and he got the picture of the ultrasound out of his bag and handed it around, going to his office then and he looked at the mug.
Hopefully he would be the world greatest dad.
NOTE: Matt and Gabby had their first appointment and everything is going fine with her pregnancy so far and they could Gen, Antonio, Eva and Diego and the next morning Matt also told everybody at the firehouse.
Next chapter: Matt and Gabby prepare for the baby to come while Genevieve and Eva get ready to graduate
