Chief Casey Season 1: Chicago's Newest Chief (Dawsey)

Chapter 39

Matt's POV: Once Hermann sat down with us, I went to grab my food to eat while I talked to him. "So, since when is Severide a captain?" I sighed. "He isn't a captain yet but...he is going to be writing the Captain exam on March 29th. He is going to pass, I am positive. Then I am going to keep him at 51 as Squad Captain. I just want him to be a captain so he doesn't get outranked on some of my calls. That happened last time when Patterson was there. Remember, Cruz was outranked by Patterson. I didn't like that because as Chief, I want to be in charge of the scene."

Hermann nodded and understood. "Okay, I understand. So, what can I do to help him do that?" I smiled when he asked. "Help him study. I want him to pass. I would help him but, I have a lot to do. You think being Captain is hard, try being Chief." Hermann laughed and agreed with me. "I know, Boden was always stressed. We always told him that he should've retired when he first got the chance." I nodded and looked at him while going to take another bit. "It's nice knowing that I have the same office as him. I feel like he is looking down at well me and just loving that I did it."

Hermann smiled and nodded. "Of course he is. Now listen, you guys have a good date. I can already tell that I am disturbing a date. You guys need to eat so that you can get home to your kids. Don't want to drive your mom away. Then, she will want to move out and not want to help with the kids. Learned that the hard way. Ended up alone right when we needed her the most." I nodded and agreed. "You still in for scouting tomorrow right?" Hermann nodded and agreed. "I promise, I'll be there. And I will see you on Friday Gabby." Gabby smiled and nodded. "Yeah."

Turning to look at her, I smiled at her. "Let me guess, you are going to stop by Friday?" Gabby smiled and nodded. "I hope to. Depends on how the kids are. Plus, you want me to stop by. Don't lie that's not the truth. You want me to be there whenever I can." I smiled and nodded, agreeing with her. "Yes, I do. Now listen, let's eat this. Then we can head home. I want to cuddle with me family a bit before falling asleep in bed with you in my arms. I missed you last night." Gabby smiled and nodded as she went to kiss me softly. "Wake me up before you leave?"

I nodded and agreed. "I will because you are going to join me in the shower in the morning. Sorry but, you are going to want to." Gabby laughed and agreed with me because we both knew that was the truth. "Nothing like a sexy morning shower with my man. God, that has to be one of my favorite times of the day. Just time where it's just the two of us, it's really quiet and we are naked in the shower." I smiled and nodded while going to kiss her softly. "Enough day dreaming. Let's just eat up and then we can head home and into bed."
