Chapter 11: Dawson was waiting in front of the building with chief Boden when he radioed 'Casey! Get out of there now!' Then a cloud of black smoke came out of the building 'save Casey! Save Casey!' Chief Boden yelled over the radio. Capp, severide and mills ran into the building and lifted a plank that fell from the roof off Casey. Dawson was pacing back and forth waiting for news, just as she started tearing up Casey staggered out of the building carrying the baby 'oh gosh, Casey.....Casey' she said as she started to cry, Capp, Severide and Cruz picked up Casey and put him on a gurney *in the ambulance* Dawson was starting to cry 'damn it Matt, come on!.... Come on Matt, not like this!' She said as she put an oxygen mask on Casey, realisation then hit Severide, Dawson...... And Casey..... He shook his head to clear the thought 'no, they couldn't be' he quietly said to himself, Dawson not noticing, she was still crying as she looked at him. At that moment Severide realised that he wasn't imagining things, Dawson was crying over Matt and they were in a relationship. Severide reached over and put his hand on Dawson's arm 'gabby, he's gonna be okay' he said as he pulled her into a hug. Dawson, Severide and Shay burst through the E.R doors wheeling in Casey ' lieutenant Mathew Casey, male, 34, firefighter, head injury' shay said as the doctors took over and wheeled Casey down the hall. Dawson watched as they disappeared through the doors and walked over to the waiting room where everyone was waiting, she stood there for a few seconds not knowing what to do until she let out a cry and slid down the wall. Shay walked back into the room 'the baby will be fine, just a little smoke inhalation' she then looked over to Dawson who had tears in her eyes 'what about Matt?' Shay shook her head 'nothing yet'. Dawson nodded and started to cry 'hey, sweetie, it's ok' shay said as she pulled Dawson into her arms 'he can't die shay, he just can't' she said, sobs racking through her body. A nurse walked in 'I'm guessing you're all here for the lieutenant' Hermann nodded 'that's us, how is he?' The nurse sighed making Dawson look up 'no....' The nurse looked at her 'he has an epidural hematoma, we have to perform emergency surgery' Dawson unwrapped herself from Shay's arms and ran down the hallway and looked into the room where they were prepping Casey for surgery, she started crying, watching as the man she loved payed on the table unconscious.
