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

Chapter 143

Matt's POV:
After eating breakfast and bringing the babies out to the Tesla, it was now time for me and Gabby to get going to the firehouse. Standing on the driveway with her, I wrapped my arm around her while I held Matteo in my arms. "Hey, so you be a good boy for grandma okay? Me and your mom will be back in 2 sleeps. Matteo nodded and smiled as he hugged me. "Good luck Chief papa." I smiled when he said that and went to lean my forehead against his. "I love you little man. Now, say bye to your mom." I then went to give him to Gabby and smiled.

Holding him, Gabby kissed his forehead too. "I will call you later okay Matteo? We'll video chat before you go to sleep." Matteo smiled. "Will papa join us?" I then went to rub his arm. "I will try buddy okay?" Matteo nodded and agreed. I then turned to look at my mom and smiled at her. "I have a spare key for the house here for you." I then went to grab it out of my coat pocket. "Take Matteo out to the park if you want to or something. If he gets loud, take him outside for us? There's a park down the street." My mom nodded and agreed as she went to grab it.

"Oh and if he runs over to somebody who's name is Jay. It's fine. We are friends with them and he knows them. He has a service dog and they take walks in the same park sometime since they live nearby. So, don't get mad at him if he does it. He does it all the time with us." My mom smiled. "I'll try and remember." I smiled when she said that before going to hug her. "I am so glad you are here to help. I promise, we will try and get together more." My mom smiled. "I am watching all of your kids on Valentine's Day okay? I'll already be here anyways."

Gabby smiled when she said that. "Matt, I already booked that hotel just to let you know." I then turned to look at her and smiled. "Okay, what does she mean by that hotel?" I then laughed. "The hotel where that ball was a couple years ago. The one that you know..." My mom then smiled. "Going back to the scene of the crime." I laughed when she said that and smiled. "If you teach our son any words we do not approve of...I am not sure whether Gabby will ever let you watch him again. So please, watch your mouth mom."

Gabby smiled when I said that before setting Matteo down. "Listen, we need to get going okay?" Gabby then went to hug my mom. "Thanks again. I will call later to check up. But right now, I need to drive this guy to work." Gabby then went to grab the keys from me. I agreed. "You let her drive you to work?" I smiled and nodded. "She hasn't driven the Tesla yet so, yes. Now, we need to go." My mom agreed. "Lock up please." I then went to kiss Matteo one last time before going to get in the car with Gabby to drive to work.

Gabby's POV:
Once Matt got in the car with me, I was currently in the midst of looking at the controls and got a bit nervous. Looking at me, Matt laughed a bit. "Okay, it's just a car Gabby. Set the keys down in your pocket. Then, push the brake." I then nodded, doing as I was told. "Then, you push the start button there." Pushing the button, I felt the car start and smiled. "Now, change the gear and drive. It's a normal car. Just has a battery." I then looked at him. "Already unplugged?" Matt nodded. "Gabby, relax and just drive." I then nodded, driving away.

"How far can this go on one charge anyways?" Matt then laughed. "340 miles." I was shocked when he said that. "Woah, that's better than the van. Now, how do you do autopilot?" Matt laughed. "Not today Gabby. Another time when we have more time. Maybe on Valentine's day. Let's just get to work okay?" I nodded and agreed as I went to pull out of our neighborhood. That's when I saw my dad walking back from the store and I sighed while driving. "You saw him too right?" Matt then nodded. "Concentrate Gabby, just drive."

Matt then put his hand on my leg and got me to concentrate. Driving towards the firehouse, I just took a few deep breaths and knew this was what I needed. "Thanks for getting your mom to watch Matteo. This is what I need today. Just you, me, and the babies at the firehouse." Matt nodded and understood. "I wanted you to come because I want to be there for you as much as I can but, I need to work okay? Now, just relax...take deep breaths and then let's get to work." We both agreed when he said that while making our way to the firehouse.
