Gabby got out of the car and went round to the back to get Jamie. He was sitting in his car seat asleep. Before she picked him up she stood there looking at him. She couldn't believe that she was now a mum, this was her one goal in life and she had finally achieved it.
"He isn't going to move himself" Matt laughed as he put his hand on the lower part of her back.
"Yea, i know. I'm still in shock i guess."
"You're not the only one!" he paused. "Come on baby, let's get you and Jamie inside."
Gabby picked Jamie up and followed Matt up the pathway to the door. When he unlocked the door he walked in and placed Gabby's work bag down by the door.
"Welcome to your new home little fella!" Casey said proudly. Gabby just smiled.
"He has fallen asleep, i am going to put him to bed." She said starting to walk down the hallway.
"Ok, can i get you a drink?" Matt called.
"God! Could i have a glass of wine? Nine months. Nine whole months that i haven't been able to have a drink!" Gabby laughed. "It has been torture!"
She could hear Matt laughing from the kitchen. She walked into the room and turned the light on. She walked over to the cot and stood there looking down at Jamie for what seemed like forever.
"You're the best thing that has happened to me you know. You and your dad." She kissed him lightly on the head, gently laid him down and softly pulled the blanket over him.
She kissed him one last time then walked back over to the door and turned the light out.

"Hey, yo Voight!" Antonio called as he walked back into the district.
Voight emerged slowly from his office and leaned up against the half open door. "How's Gabby?"
"She is fine. She went home with Matt about an hour ago."
"He is good for her. I have known her for a long time and i haven't seen her so happy" Voight said lazily.
"Yea, Matt is a pretty amazing guy, i will have to give her that." Antonio said with a laugh.
There was silence.
Then Voight finally spoke. "Did you want me?"
"Oh, yea. Errr Lindsay is waiting in the car but we were wondering if we could go back to the warehouse and see if there is anything of interest, you know, so we can close the case. We need some more evidence. Also, we are probably going to need get the guys in from the morgue to come and pick up Jason's body."
"Go." Voight said. "If you find anything, I'm the first one that you call."
"As always. You're the first to know." Antonio said over his shoulder as he walked down the steps of Intelligence.

Gabby walked down the hallway towards the living room.
"Is he still asleep?" Matt asked standing up and facing her.
"Yea"
"You know, you have had that constant smile on your face since you first held him." Matt stated as he started to walk towards her. His arms outstretched.
Gabby walked into his embraced and tightly wrapped her arms around him.
"I heard what you said when you were putting Jamie to bed." Matt said into Gabby's neck.
