Lights and Sirens

Walking out on 'Us'?

Matt watched Gabby walk out to her car, get in and pull away. The one time Casey felt his body yearn for her, to be laying in bed with her, his arms around her and now all he had done was throw the one thing that he really needed away. Matt looked sadly down at his feet then made his way back to join the rest of the firehouse.

"Hey lieutenant, she is probably just having a moment. She probably didn't mean any of what she said." Herrmann said walking up to Casey and putting his hand on his shoulder.

"Herrmann, you don't know Gabby like I do. I shouldn't have said that to her, and it's the final ultrasound today and now that i have screwed this up i wont be able to find the sex of my baby." Casey was shaking, his voice was quiet and his eyes distant. "Gabby is the one thing in my life that i thought would stay beside me even if i tried to push her away unintentionally, but i was still able to. what does that say about me?" Casey asked a knot in his throat as he began to let his emotions slip.

"Matt look at me..." Herrmann said.

Casey looked up.

"Gabby has a lot on her plate at the moment. She has the whole investigation on her mum, she is 8 months pregnant for gods sake. Lieutenant, one thing i do know is how women get when they are pregnant and that is what Gabby is going through. Trust me. Look maybe you should have let Gabby tell you what happened and not jumped to conclusions." Herrmann said calmingly.

"Maybe your right?" Casey said sadly, wiping the tears from his face.

At The Hospital:

Gabby sat nervously in the hospital waiting room. She had done this before but it was different this time. During the previous pregnancy that she had she didn't get this far.

"Gabriella Dawson?" The Doctor said from down the hall.

Gabby followed the Doctor down the hall and into the exam room, and laid on the bed.

"So Miss Dawson, we have about a month until the baby is due to be born. How you feelin'?" The Doctor asked with a smile.

All of a sudden Gabby felt a buzz in her pocket. "Excuse me.." she said.

The text read:

'Gabby, look im not here to talk about what happened earlier but one thing i ask you is that tell me what sex the baby is. Look i love you. Never forget that, - Please. Matt xx'

Gabby took a deep breath and placed the phone back in her pocket. Just as the doctor placed the gel on her stomach and used the machine to see the baby. While the doctor was doing this she asked

"Isn't your partner usually here with you?"

"yea....errr.....well...something came up." gabby said with a shy smile.

After checking that the baby was ok, the Doctor asked if she wanted to know the gender of the baby. Matt's words ran through her head and so she agreed to knowing. This brought back memories of Matt and herself laying closely together in bed thinking about the sex of the baby, she needed him but she knew that he didn't want her. Or so she thought.

The Doctor pointed to the screen of the machine then looked at Gabby happily.

"Congratulations Miss Dawson!" The Doctor said excitedly. "your having a boy!"

Gabby just thanked the Doctor and made her way out to the car. She was way to focused on the whole Matt situation to even let the information effect her.

When she got home she went up to her bedroom and sat quietly on the bed. She looked at a picture of Matt and herself at the Christmas market. They were both smiling, then she saw a small patch of water on the glass of the picture. Tears began to run down hr face as her whole relationship with Matt flashed right in font of her eyes. She could remember the way that Matt first kissed her, the way he felt, the way he tasted and she couldn't get this out of her head. Sadly she went over to the closed and pulled out her bags and began putting her cloths into them.

After she had packed she saw that she still had a few hours until Casey was due to come home. Still crying she placed her bags down by the door and went down and sat on the sofa. She got out her phone and dialed Antonio's cell. It rang twice before he picked up.

"Hello?" Antonio answered.

"Hey Tonio.." Gabby started, trying not to sound like she was crying. "would you mind if i came and stayed with you for a while?"

"Hey, of course that's fine. Why, what's going on? Is everything ok with you and Casey?" Antonio asked worriedly.

"Errr....I will explain it to you later. Are you at home?" she asked.

"No, im Downtown. You know where the key is right?"

"Yea"

"ok, i will see you later then" Antonio said still confused about the whole situation.

"Yea, ok, see you then.." Gabby said distantly.

She hung up the phone.

There was a note pad and pen on the table and Gabby thought to herself 'If Matt won't listen to me then maybe he will listen if i write to him.' She picked up the notepad and pen and started writing.

'Matt,

After the events and everything that was said at work this shift, i believe that you have made up your mind about how you think the whole incident with Jason and I happened. I was coming out to come and find you and apologies for what i said when Jason first came into the room. He gave me a whole lecture about how he 'never meant to hurt me' and 'hoe he still loved me and wanted me back.' I kept telling him that i was in love with someone else, that i was in love with you, but he wouldn't believe me. Then he just kissed me, i tried to push him away but i couldn't. That's when you walked in. Matt, i want you to know that you mean more to me than anyone else has ever meant to me and frankly, i need you, more now than i ever have before. I admit that i may have over reacted at the firehouse and i think that you did to. You said that you thought that maybe we should go our separate ways so i am going to stay with Antonio until i can find my own place. I just want you to know that everything with the baby is fine and that we are having a boy! I just wanted to tell you that i wished none of this would have happened because i love you and i always will. I hope we can make this work.

Love Gabby x'

With a tear rolling down her face. She picked up her bags and took one last look at the house before she got in the car and drove to Antonio's.

2 Hours Later

After shift Casey made his way home quickly hoping to catch Dawson. He walked into the house, placed his bag down by the door and started to walk towards the kitchen.

"Gabby?" He called desperately "Gabby!"

Then all of a sudden he saw a neatly folded piece of paper with is name on. He opened it and began to read what it said. As he got further and further through the letter tears began to run down his face as the guilt overwhelmed him. He looked up and saw the picture of him and Gabby at the Academy Dinner the year before and let out a sob.

"What have i done?" He yelled angrily. "What have i done?"
