Matt's POV: After arriving at Molly's, I smiled as we walked into the restaurant hand-in-hand with our fingers intertwined. Walking up to the door with her, I went to open it for her and let her in first. That's when all the guys turned to look at us and stared at Gabby. And of course, they had to make a comment on the tight dress. "Dang Gabby, you sure you just gave birth a bit ago?" I then turned to see who it was when I realized it was Will. I sighed when I looked at Gabby. "Hey Gabby, I am going to go say hi to Will. Something I wanted to talk about. Can you get us a booth?" Gabby then turned to look at me and was confused. "Him and Nat, problems." Gabby nodded and agreed as she went to put her hand on my cheek. "I'll get drinks."
I smiled and nodded as I looked at Hermann. "No work tonight okay Hermann?" Hermann nodded and agreed as he looked at Gabby. Meanwhile, I walked away to go talk to Will who was sitting at a both. Going to rub his back, I sighed and looked at him. "How you doing man?" Will then turned to look at me. "Hey, I've been meaning to come by. Congrats on being Chief." I smiled and nodded before going to look at him. "Mind if I?" He nodded and agreed. Going to sit in front of him, I sighed. "I hope I am not overstepping. I just wanted to say I am sorry for what's happening at home between you and Nat. I heard about it. Jay confirmed it because I asked."
Will sighed and nodded. "She got a job offer in Seattle to be the head of the NICU. We aren't seeing eye to eye on the decision." I sighed and looked at him. "Want advice from the guy who literally had to go through this same decision a few years ago?" Will nodded and smiled at me. I then got up and went to smack him in the head. "Dude, you have kids. Think about Willow! She's 6 months old. What, you expect her to just stay behind with you? No, she's going to go with her mom because of how young she is. And you have no chance of keeping Owen even if you adopted him. She's his biological mother. You are the adoptive father. I speak from experience."
Will sighed and nodded. "What if it doesn't workout there in Seattle?" I looked at him. "Dude, I always said that I would never go to Puerto Rico. I regret that decision every single day. I went there with Gabby last year remember. It was the best experience I ever had. It was one of the best things that could've happened to our marriage. We had experiences together we couldn't have had in Chicago. Plus, I am positive you both are going to get great jobs. Think, you could be working with Meredith Grey if you get a job at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital."
NOTE: I am a big fan of both One Chicago and Grey's Anatomy. So, just go with it and let me live in a own world where both Chicago Med and Grey's Anatomy exist in the same TV universe.
Will thought about it and nodded. "I guess that would be nice." I smiled as I went to rub his back. "Will, forget what Jay says. You know if he knew about where Erin went way back when...he wouldn't have cared that you were still here in Chicago. He would've been on the next flight out to her. So Will, don't let her go again. You almost lost her for good a few years ago. You can always come back to visit. But, you can't live here and have a healthy marriage with Natalie." Will smiled and agreed with me when he got a text from Natalie. 'Can we talk about it?'
Will then looked at it and texted back. 'Yeah, be home soon. Just finished talking to Matt. I might be okay with moving there.' Natalie then replied to him. 'Can't wait to hear what he said to you.' Will smiled and agreed before turning to look at me. He then got up and went to hug me. "Thanks for your help." He then went to grab his card and was about to pay. "We'll cover it." Hermann then looked at me. "Excuse me?" I then glared at him. "He's in the same situation I was in when Gabby left for Puerto Rico the first time. I am giving him a break!" He nodded and agreed. "By the way, Diego should be back soon."
I nodded and agreed. "By the way, 2 club sodas." Hermann then nodded as he went to grab them for me. Once he poured them, I smiled as I went to walk away to Gabby so that I could sit with her in the booth.
