When you're ready to take that love and turn it into a baby. - Mark from 17 Again
"I'm pregnant."
Matt stood still like he was a tree rooted into the ground. Did he hear her right?
"What did you say?"
Sylvie looks at him while tears kept running down her face.
"We're gonna have a baby."
Matt realized they were standing in the exact same spots when Sylvie had told him she was in love with him.
And now, she's pregnant.
He felt his heart grow 3 sizes and felt tears forming and running down his face.
"We're having a baby?"
Sylvie nods, a smile forming
"Oh my god!"
Matt walks up to her lifting her up and spins her around laughing. He puts her down and surprises her by dipping her and kisses her.
After that, they all gather around and hug Brett and Matt. Hermann looks at Casey.
"back in my day if you got a girl pregnant then you marry her"
Sylvie says "I don't need a ring to know he loves me." And she looks at Matt lovingly
They look at each other with heart eyes like in those movies you watched as a kid.
"Jesus they are in love."
Gallo said. Mouch says something as well.
"That's real love kid. Me and Hermann knew a year before they did they were going to end up together."
At Molly's
Kidd grabbed her phone and selected someone's number to text them.
Brettsey sos get your ass to Molly's if you can!
That someone was just walking out of her shift at MED and read the message.
Just got off shift. On my way!
While Sylvie was talking to everyone, Matt was staring at her in awe. His eyes moved down to her stomach. She was standing to the side and even though you couldn't tell it now but that's when it hit him.
There's a baby in there that'll be growing everyday. Half him and half her.
He excused himself from the table and went outside. He stepped down the few steps and leaned against the building.
There were only a few times Matt had let himself get emotional. This was one of those times.
"I'm going to be a dad."
He said to himself. He let out a few tears. He wasn't sad, he was happy. He always wanted to be one. Don't get him wrong, he loved helping Griffin and Ben.
Maybe this was the universe's way of saying okay time to reunite and stop wasting time.
Remembering his uncle Jake's watch, it was time to settle down and live. Stop wasting time because every moment you spend with someone you love is precious.
Matt was so emotional that he missed someone walking down the sidewalk.
"Casey?"
Matt looked up and saw that it was Emily Foster. He smiled softly.
"Hey Foster. How are you?"
She looked at him and could tell something was up.
"I'm great. Kidd texted me and said there was an brettsey sos."
"A what?"
"It's Brett's and your last name together as a couple."
"Oh.."
Foster looks around
"Brett inside?"
He nods and they make their way back inside Molly's.
"Hey Syl.. look who I found."
Sylvie turns around and immediately lights up.
"Emily!"
She walks up and throws her arms around Emily.
"Oh my god I missed you! What are you doing here?"
Emily hugs her back and pulls away. She smiles
"Kidd texted me and said there's a brettsey sos to get my ass to Molly's."
Sylvie looks at Stella who was grinning. She looks back at Emily.
"So what is it girl spill!"
Sylvie looks at Matt who was smiling from ear to ear. She looks back at Emily.
"We're gonna have a baby!"
Emily lets out a loud squeal and hugs Sylvie again.
"Oh my god! I'm so happy for you."
Emily pulls away and looks at Stella.
"Pay up girl! I won the bet."
Sylvie's mouth drops. "You guys betted on us!?"
"Yes. Kidd betted you guys would be married first and I betted you'd get knocked up first."
She blushes, "Foster!"
Emily looks "What? It's like I told you 5 years ago, your face was easy to read as The Hunger Games and to just jump him."
"Em!"
She punches Emily's arm. She was full on blushing now. Matt's skin turned tomato red.
"Wait, when was this?"
Sylvie looks at him
"Uh, after that boy drove his mom to the house cause she was in labor. At the hospital, you left and that's when Emily said it."
After Molly's, Boden gave Sylvie the next shift off so she and Matt could spend time together.
They went to her place and sat down to talk.
"So, here's the first scan."
She hands him the ultrasound photo. He looks down at the photo.
"This was last week?"
She nods.
"So you're 7 weeks now."
"Yeah."
He runs a finger across the baby-like figure.
"Wait, if you're 7 weeks now then.."
He starts doing the math and counting the weeks.
"Your due date will be.."
She smiles softly
"Around Christmas."
He looks up from the photo and looks at her.
"Seriously?"
She nods again smiling.
"Sylvie.."
He gently pulls her into his lap and kisses her like he never has before.
"You just made me the most happiest luckiest man alive."
"I know. You've wanted to be a father for a really long time. I didn't want to tell you over the phone so I waited until now."
"This is way better. I'd probably get on a plane as soon as I could if you had."
He keeps looking at her.
"Have you ate?"
"Not since lunch."
"That was hours ago. Here let me whip up something."
He gently moves her from his lap and he gets up. He walks over to the fridge and opens it. He finds some ingredients and sets about making them something to eat.
She sits there and just watches him.
"He belongs there."
She whispers softly to herself.
Soon we both eat and then they end the night of watching an episode or two of Property Brothers before going to bed.
