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

Chapter 105

Sylvie's POV: As I walked into the living room with Gabby, I looked at her and the kids. "So, that's your ex-fiancé who you were with before you dated Matt?" Looking at her, I nodded. "Yeah, he's the one from Fowlerton. The one I considered leaving Chicago with. Boy am I glad I didn't." Gabby laughed and nodded as she looked at me. "Hey, at least you finally found your guy in my brother." I smiled and agreed. "And the father of my children." We both nodded when I said that. "By the way, how is Baby Brett-Dawson #2?" I smiled and looked at her, deciding to tell her the name we chose. "Hannah Sylvia Dawson."

Gabby nodded and agreed. "Right, forgot. But how is she?" I smiled when she asked. "Really good. I swear, I keep feeling like she is going to come early." Gabby nodded and agreed with me. "Let's hope not too early. But you know what I just realized..." I was confused when she said that. "What?" Gabby smiled. "For the past 2 years, there has always been a birth in the Dawson and Halstead families in the same year." I nodded and agreed. "It's another CFD-CPD baby boom. Ruzek and Burgess had their twins last August. They are the most adorable things in the entire world." Gabby smiled and agreed. "Make you wish you had twins?"

I shook my head. "In fact, it makes me feel relieved we didn't have twins. God, the woman is breastfeeding ever 45 minutes. It's horrible." Gabby nodded and smiled. "Girl, you do realize that's the same for me. I am just ready to get Ella off breastmilk. Or at least on bottles." That's when I heard Matt come in with some more of the kid's stuff. "Hey Gabby, want the bottles in the fridge?" I then decided to get up and went to grab them. "Here, let me take them to the fridge." I then decided to hug Matt. "How are you? And thanks for getting the groceries. Oh and one more thing. Eva! Diego! Your aunt and uncle are here!" 

Eva smiled as she came down. "Uncle Matt." Matt smiled and then went to hug her when she came down. "Get some boots on. We need help with groceries." Eva then glared at him. "Seriously?" Matt then looked at her. "You want to be the one babysitting 3 kids on Valentine's Day?" Eva then shook her head. "Hell to the no. Give me a minute and then I will be right out." Eva then went to grab her coat and smiled. "It's our groceries anyways Eva. So, you should help." Eva agreed and nodded. "How are you today anyways Sylvie? Only a month right." I shook my head when she said that. "2, end of March." Eva agreed and smiled. "I'll be right back."

Eva then went outside to go help bring the groceries in while I walked over to the living room to sit on the couch with Gabby. "God, I am so glad that I am on maternity leave now. It was starting to get hard walking around the firehouse in such tight pants." Gabby laughed when I said that. "Let me guess, it's all sweat pants and baggy shirts now?" I turned to look at her and nodded. "Mostly Antonio's shirts. The smell of his cologne calms her down all the time." Gabby smiled when I said that before going to put her hand on my stomach. "Hannah Sylvie right?" I sighed. "Hannah Sylvia." Gabby smiled and nodded. "How long is Antonio taking paternity leave?"

I was about to answer her question when Antonio walked in. "I got from March 15th to Independence Day. Then I am back at work." I turned to look at him and was shocked. "That's almost 4 months." Matt then followed him in. "Don't brag how long you got. I got zero paternity leave after Wally was born." Antonio then looked at him as he carried the groceries to the living room. "What you talking about? You got 3 weeks." Matt laughed. "Yeah, because paternity leave is supposed to be moving, meetings and barely spending time at home with your wife and kids. Yeah, I do not consider that paternity leave." Antonio nodded and agreed with me.

"I already told Voight that I am not going to be in at all during my paternity leave. However, I get to my Deputy again instead of Assistant Deputy when I am back at work." Antonio then went to start unpacking the bags when Matt walked over to him and gave him a high five. "Next step, top job." Antonio laughed when he said that. "Matt, that isn't happening. Jay and Erin are going to get the top job. By the way, I was thinking they could join us this afternoon." Gabby then turned to look at Antonio. "Not happening. Sorry but, I am not having their dog around my 3 week old son Antonio! Think about how unsanitary that is."
