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

Firehouse Squats

Matt's POV:
As I arrived back at the firehouse with the trucks, I smiled when I saw Gabby working out in the garage with Matteo running around a bit. I then went to honk to make sure she got him out of the way before the trucks went to pull up. Gabby then turned to look at me and called for Matteo while holding the stroller. "Matteo, come over here. The trucks are about to come in." Getting out of the Jeep, I looked at Lee Henry and smiled. "Just go sit in the common room okay bud?" Lee Henry nodded and agreed as he went to make his way into the firehouse. Meanwhile, I walked over to Gabby and smirked. "Now that was an attractive way to welcome me back."

Gabby laughed when I said that. Walking up to her, I put my hands on her hips. "You take advantage of this time to exercise?" Gabby smiled. "It's a huge open space and it's perfect for squats with the stroller. Plus, it gives Matteo room to run while the doors are closed." I nodded and agreed. "No calls?" Gabby shook her head. "None. I made sure to listen and none came." I smiled and agreed with her when I heard Stella come out. "Finally, you are back. That means Severide can take over dad duties and I can join. Forgot the stroller." I laughed and nodded.

I then turned to look at Matteo and smiled at him. "You need to go to the washroom don't you bud?" I could see him squirming and her just nodded. I then went to grab his hand. "I'll be back. Keeping working out. But next time, do it inside. It's cold out here babe." I then went to kiss her quickly before walking away to take Matteo to the washroom after seeing him squirm in his pants. "Oh and get Hermann to join me in my office when I am done." Gabby agreed and nodded as I led Matteo away to go take him to the washroom before heading to my office.

Gabby's POV:
Once Matt left to go take Matteo to the washroom, I watched as everybody else came back. "How'd it go Hermann? Matt said he wants to talk to you?" Hermann sighed as he looked at me. "Complications. He let Lee Henry out to help with the hoses. Cindy saw us drive by and yelled at him." I nodded and agreed. "He tell her to leave?" Hermann shook his head when I said that. "She watched and was not pleased Lee Henry was helping with the hoses. But, we resolved it and he is going to help. What you doing out here anyways?"

I laughed. "Squats with the stroller. Matt's inside taking Matteo to the washroom. There's some grub in the kitchen. I went out and grabbed some ingredients. Made some homemade cinnamon buns." The Hermann boys smiled when I said that and then walked in. That's when Stella walked over to me after getting off Ambo. "By the way, where's Stephen?" I then turned to show him in his stroller. "Over there. He's fine." She nodded and agreed as she walked over to him. "Hey bud, let's go relax in bed." That's when I saw Severide walk over. "Hey Captain."

Severide laughed and smiled. "Stella already grab the little guy and head inside?" I nodded. "Yeah, probably his feeding time." Severide then went to check the time and nodded while he looked at the kids. "How are they doing here?" I smiled when he asked. "Great. Just hope Matt and I don't have to spend the night here but, we probably will. I should just tell him to go back to 24-hour shifts." Severide then looked at me. "No, the CFD has changed it. There's a day crew and a night crew. We work 2 days straight during the day and get the nights off. Then 48 hours off."

I nodded and agreed. "Okay, that makes sense. Now listen, I know you need to do a report. And since it was a long call...you might want to get to work." Severide laughed and agreed as he walked inside so that he could do his report. Meanwhile, I went back to work on some squats again while waiting for Matt to come back out with Matteo. After doing a few more, I decided to just head in and relax in the common area because I wanted to spend some time with our friends/co-workers. Also known as adult time.
