One Chicago: Health First Part 4

Chapter 1211

Matt's POV: After bringing Gabby back to bed, I smiled as she got in before me. I then went to give her a bar to eat considering it would probably help her calm down. However, I wasn't completely ready to just give her the benefit of doubt. That's why I decided that we would read until she fell asleep. That way, I was being the best supportive husband I could be. That was my job and if she needed to figure this out...then she was going to do it with my help.

Getting in bed with her, I smiled when I moved my arm around her and kissed the top of her head. Laying down on my chest, I then felt Gabby rub my chest. "If you are too tired, then we can just go to sleep." Gabby then started to eat her bar and looked up at me. "I am still thinking about it so can you please jut grab the iPad and we can read?" I then nodded while grabbing the iPad. I then went to open the page and went to read about OCD with her.

Reading some of the ways people with OCD act on a daily basis, I sighed because of how well Gabby fit the description to a tee. It explained everything about how I've seen Gabby acted on a daily basis whether it was related to Matteo or when she is working as a paramedic.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a disorder in which people have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions).

Turning to look at Gabby, I ran my fingers through her hair before kissing her forehead and looking into her eyes. "Now, you can't go ahead and just use this as your diagnosis okay? I still want you to go see Dr. Charles or somebody to get your official diagnosis." Gabby then looked up at me and nodded. "I have to. It's the only way to get medicine." I nodded and agreed before moving to kiss her softly. "You realize that nothing changes right?"

Gabby then nodded. "You mean in the way you look at me and love me?" I nodded and smiled at her. "Gabby, I'm sorry if I had to say this but...I just wanted to make sure you knew that just because you have this doesn't mean that anything is wrong with you. You are just different and need help to control your impulses with medication. You are also going to have to maybe try and relax more. Trust me to make the right decisions babe. Well, at least in our marriage and family."

Gabby nodded and smiled. "At least getting a possible diagnosis is easy. What is going to happen when we tell Boden? Is he going to say that he won't let me work on Ambulance anymore?" I then sighed and looked at her. "Gabby, you know he won't. It's illegal to discriminate against someone with a disability." I then went to kiss her forehead softly. "And he knows that you aren't going to do anything stupid because we both know that I am going to watch you like a hawk."

Gabby sighed and nodded. "Then maybe you should take lead from now on. I want you to really act as the PIC from now on until we get this all sorted. Can you do that for me Matt? I would rather not have to worry about acting as PIC and just doing my job." I nodded and leaned my forehead against hers. "Gabby, whatever you need....I can help you with it. I promise. I am on your team and always will be. In fact, how about we make an appointment with Dr. Charles tomorrow?"

Gabby smiled. "You want him to diagnose me officially?" I nodded. "That way, we have documentation and an official diagnosis to give to Boden. Then, maybe the CFD will go easier on you. The stuff you've gotten in trouble for in the past can be explained by this possible diagnosis." Gabby smiled and agreed with me before kissing me softly. "I love you Matt." I smiled when she said that. "I love you too." I then went to kiss her softly and just held her there as we fell back asleep in each other arms.
