Matt- Fight For Us Pt1

This was requested hope you enjoy! Rewritten
YN and Matt have been married now for 5 years. They have a little girl together who is the spitting image of YN, but has her dads mannerisms . They love one another, they truly do, but after their best friend Andy Darden died they drifted apart. YN Andy and Severide all went to school together. They've known each other since kindergarten and been best friends since. Matt really struggled with the loss of his Andy, blamed himself for his death, your best friends death, which led to pushing his wife away.
Things have been getting better for the pair and for the first time in 2 months they are finally in a good place again. Of course they're both still dealing with the loss of one of their best friends but they know that together they will get through it.

"I wish you and Kelly would sort out what's going on between you both" I sigh washing up the breakfast bowels while mine and Matts 5 year old daughter is getting ready for school
"Yeah well he's blaming me for Andy's death"
"I know and I'll speak with him, but we were best friends. All wanted to go through the academy together. If it wasn't for my asthma I wouldn't be a paramedic"
"The best paramedic" I pass the bowls to Matt to dry and raise my eyebrows
"Dont change the subject. Look all I'm saying is Kelly is angry, upset, hell we all are, but he needs to blame someone and if it's not you it will be himself. At least you can take it"
"Momma I'm ready" Ella calls from the hallway
"I'm coming" I call back "I'll drop Ella off at school. I'll see you in a bit" I peck Matt on the lips and turn to move, but before I can get to our daughter he pulls me back to him
"We're good aren't we?" he asks looking into my eyes
"Course we are" I give him another kiss then leave the house with Ella.

Almost immediately after I arrive at the firehouse we're on a call, a huge car accident has happened. I run over to one car where there's a little girl inside just a little older than Ella
"Hi sweetie I'm YN. Can you tell me your name?" I ask
"Madeline"
"Ok, listen, Madeline, I want you to see if you can
turn your head toward me" the little girl does as I ask. She has a huge gash on the side of her head. Once the mom is out I jump into the car through the drivers side "hey, your going to be ok"
"It's dumping gas" mouch shouts as the car in front starts to flam. Madeline starts to whimper
"We're ok. Look my partners coming now to help me get you out" Leslie opens up the door and starts to move the little girl out
"Wait. Her jugular" I take out my stethoscope "Muffled heart sounds.It's Becks triad" I give Leslie a worried look as she picks Madeline up
"Come on, sweetie" Leslie puts Madeline in the back of the ambo. I jump in with her while Leslie shuts the doors and speeds towards Med.
Thankfully we get her to the hospital in time.

"Was the little girl ok?" Ella asks
"Yes luckily she was"
"My momma and daddy are superhero's" this makes me chuckle. I glance at her in the mirror, she's sat in her car seat swinging her feet with a huge smile on her face. I pull up the the fire house when Ella asks "will grandpa be here?"
"Yes angel he will" I reply turning the car off and jumping out. I open up the car door and help her out of her seat
"And daddy?"
"Yes and daddy and uncle Kelly"
"Daddy and uncle Kelly don't like each other any more. Why?" Ella asks taking my hand in hers as we walk past the trucks
"They do like each other, it's just their jobs make it a little harder to be friends. Remember Kelly was my best friend before I met daddy"
"And uncle Andy" she stops and points to a picture we now have up of him. I lift her up into my arms
"Yes and uncle Andy"
"I miss him momma"
"I know, so do I. And. So does uncle Kelly and daddy. Which is why they are having a little argument now" I place a kiss on her forehead when I hear a familiar voice
"YN you best hurry up, Casey's cooking" Severide says smiling with hands on his hips
"Uncle Kelly!" Ella practically jumps out of my arms and into her godfathers arms
"You hungry little one?"
"Yes! Momma can we have some food?"
"Yes angel. Course we can" I follow behind Severide and see Matt behind the kitchen counters. Dad, also known as chief Boden gets up from the table and walks over to me giving me a hug "hi dad"
"I'll bring a plate over for you and one for Ella" Matt says to me grabbing 3 plates. Severide places Ella down and she runs holding my dads hands to sit next to him. I then watch the awkward interaction between Severide and my husband. Not only is Matt blaming himself for Andy's death, but so is my best friend. I look over at my dad for some guidance, but he just sighs and gives me a small smile
"I bet uncle Andy would have wanted us to all be friends" the room falls silent. Trust the child to make everyone uncomfortable. I watch as Severide takes an orange and walk out of the room "momma did I upset uncle Kelly"
"No angel. He'll be ok"

Later that evening were called out during the night to a building fire. Matt and Herrmann both are knocked out during their search but thankfully Kelly manages to get them both out with the help of the others. So the rest of our shift was spent in the emergency room waiting to hear how Herrmann is doing since he was worse off.
