Chapter 3 Part 1 (At the Hospital)

Antonio ran into the hospital "Where's Gabby?! Is she okay?! I heard she fainted!" He said obviously rattled. Casey ran up to Antonio. "She's okay she fainted on the job and hit her head on the pavement when she fell out of the ambulance. They have her in the examination room now." Antonio's eyes widened. "Oh my god she fell out of the ambulance?! What happened did her get dizzy or something? She told me she's been getting dizzy lately. And how far did she fall? How far is it out of the ambulance? Oh my god. Where is she can I see her?" Antonio rambled. "No the Doctor said that we can't yet. She hit her head pretty hard and she's still unconscious." Casey told him. "She's still unconscious? Oh my god." Antonio said with shaking hands. "She'll be fine don't worry" Casey said trying to comfort him.

Later in the examination room when Gabby woke up. The doctor was talking to her. "You hit your head pretty hard and you have a concussion." The doctor stated. "Do you know why I fainted?" Gabby asked. "Well...before I tell you I'm going to ask you a couple questions okay?" The doctor said looking at Gabby. "Okay..." Gabby said questioningly. "Have you felt at all dizzy in the past few days?" He asked. "Well yeah a couple of times and I was going to get it checked out but the really bad vertigo didn't happen until right before I fainted. But it wasn't until right before." Gabby told him. "Okay, okay and did you eat breakfast this morning?" He asked. "Yes I did" She told him nodding. "Okay well Gabriela I know you're a paramedic so I'm going to use medical terms here." The doctor stated hesitantly. "Okay..." Gabby said in a questioning tone. "Well you see sometimes in the first trimester of pregnancy-" Gabby cut him off. "Wait, wait,wait, pregnancy? I'm not pregnant! What are you talking about?" Gabby interrupted. "Well actually Miss Dawson you are pregnant. When you were unconscious we took some blood and it showed that you were pregnant. I'm guessing you know fainting is a common thing in the first trimester of pregnancy?" Gabby just stared at the doctor for a few seconds before saying "What? I'm pregnant? Really? Are you sure?" Gabby said not believing her ears. "Yes Gabby I'm sure I can show you the blood test results if you'd like?" "No, no it's fine it's just you know, I'm shocked I wasn't expecting this. I mean me and my fiancé have always wanted kids but...I just I don't know what to think... It's just it's not really...this isn't really...ugh this just makes things even more complicated." Gabby stammered putting her head in her hands. "Even more?" The doctor asked. Gabby looked up. "It's nothing...it's just...my life is really complicated right now." Gabby told him. "I understand." The doctor said nodding along. "I assume you'll want to keep me overnight since I have a concussion?" Gabby asked him. "Yes we would like to keep you overnight just to make sure the baby is okay and you're okay you will have to stay up all night though, it's just a precaution as you may know." He said to her. "Yes I understand. May I go back to my room and have visitors? I would like to speak to my brother about this." Gabby asked. "Of course your brother's name is Antonio correct?" The doctor asked her. "Yeah, thanks." Gabby said taking a deep breath.

Chapter 3 Part 2 (The Hospital)

Antonio walked into Gabby's room. "Your doctor said you wanted to see me?" All of a sudden Gabby started to cry. Antonio ran over to her. "Oh Gabby what's wrong? What happened? Did the doctor tell you something bad?" Antonio asked very concerned. "No it's nothing bad really it's just... you know how me and Casey have been having problems and that's why I've been staying with you?" Gabby sobbed. "Yeah Gabs I know." He said sympathetically while patting her hand. "And you know how I told you I've been getting dizzy lately and I was going to make a doctor's appointment soon?" She said to him Ina questioning tone. "Yeah..." He said slowly. Gabby took a deep breath "Okay, the doctor said that I'm...that I'm um ok..." Gabby took another deep breath. "Pregnant." Gabby said still sobbing. "What?! Whoa okay. Umm well first things first do you want it?" He asked her. Gabby's eyebrows went up in shock as he said that. "Yes of course! It's just you know it's just..." Gabby said hesitantly. "It makes things more complicated?" Antonio asked. "Yeah." She said. "Well Gabs you know you have to tell Casey right?" He asked her. "Yeah of course I'm just not sure how..." Gabby said still slightly sobbing. "I've always wanted kids and so has Casey you know that but it's just such a bad time." Gabby said to him. "Yeah I know sis I know." Antonio said rubbing Gabby's hand. Then Gabby started to cry into Antonio's chest. "I wish I could talk to Shay." Gabby sobbed. "I can't even talk to Mills anymore. I wish they weren't missing and I wish Shay was here." They just sat there Gabby crying into Antonio's chest.
