Season 4 Chicago Fire

4x01 part 5 - Shot a man

Everyone was gathered in the conference room, since Boden had called them there after Brett and Chili came from Chicago med.

"As some of you may know there has been a murder in Sverides and Caseys apartment." Boden said and a collective gasp came from the room. "We will not let this disrupt our firehouse. Both of them have been cleared from this case. If anyone even implies that they might have been a part of the murder they will face punishment from their respective lieutenants. Is that clear?" Everyone mutters yeah. "You are dismissed."

"Actually chief I have an announcement to make." Dawson said and stood up as chief motioned for her to stand up in front. She took a deep breath "I'm pregnant and therefore can't be a firefighter for the time being." Locking eyes with Casey. "I'll be joining arson tomorrow." The entire room was silent until Herman walked up to her and hugged her:

"Congrats girl, you'll be one hell of a mama. I mean you take care of us most of the time." Everyone chuckled and congratulated her.

Dawson was taking her stuff form her locker when Brett and Chili entered the locker room. Chili hugged Dawson.

"Congrats, Dawson." Chili said and sat down on the bench. "I believe that it wasn't planned for you and Casey to have a child now." Dawson froze.

"Did you tell her Brett?" She asked and starred at Brett. Brett raise her hands up in surrender:

"She found out on her own." She said and sat down. "She's way to observant for her own good."

"Well yeah it's his and no it wasn't planned." Dawson said and put her helmet on top of the box. "It was a one time thing. This," she pointed at her stomach. "Is a nice surprise."

"Oh I always meant to ask. Why did this happen? I mean you guys broke up..." Brett was cut off.

"Wait hold up." Chili said and held up her hand."You and lieutenant had a thing?"

"Yeah they where engaged but it went nowhere..." Brett was cut off again by Chili

"Not if there is a bun in the oven."

"True, but again why." Brett said and she and Chili looked pointedly at Dawson.

"Remember the hospital explosion?" Brett nodded;

"How could I forget?" Chili held up her hand.

"Wait you guys where there when the guy blew himself up in the ER?" Chili said surprised. "What haven't you done?"

"I'll tell you later." Brett said and motioned for Dawson to continue.

"Well the stress of the day got to us and we just had to touch 'home'." Dawson said and hoisted the box on her hip. "We both agreed that it wouldn't change anything between us but look what it did. It changed something all right." They chuckled.

Ambulance 61, Truck 81, squad 3, engine 51, battalion 25. Structure fire. 22 Bay avenue.

"Well that's our cue." Brett said as she walked out with Chili on her heels. Gabby stood there in the locker room as everyone rushed past and out. Soon she was alone.
~~~
Dawson sat on the Mouch couch waiting for them to show up after the call. She had lent Casey her keys and couldn't get home. Trying to watch TV she absentmindedly drummed her fingers on the armrest. Trying not to think about the last time she was in a fire. She switched chanels again. Wachting a show about the kardasians, gets boring after 30 minuets.

Brett and Chili roled in and walked to the kitchen.

"Wow getting rid of you will not be easy." Chili said as she made some coffee. Trying to stay caffeine free for 7 more months will be hell for Dawson.

"No I lent Casey my keys and I forgot to get them back and so I'm stuck here." Dawson said and turned around. "Brett do you have yours?" She shook her head no;

"Sorry, I couldn't find mine this morning." She gulped down her coffee as a call came from over the radio.

Ambulance 61 man down, unknown causes. 62 East avenue.

"Well that's us." Chili said as she poured her coffee in the sink. "This tastes like cardboard anyway. Come on, Brett we'll get a nice coffee on the way back." They walked out the door leaving Gabby alone on the Mouch couch petting Pouch.
~~~
Dawson was asleep by the time they returned from the fire.

"Damn girl we just can't get rid of you can we." Dawson woke up grumbling. Rubbing her eyes she sat up, looking around. Herman stood over her and helped her up. she got up and regained her balance. "Why are you sleeping on the couch and not at home? Or in a bunk?" Dawson blinked the sleep from her eyes:

"I forgot my keys?" She said hesitantly still very sleepy.

"Is that a question or..." The rest of 51 walked into the kitchen, most of them grabbed a bagel which Dawson had bought for the whole house and headed to the sleeping courtiers. Casey and a few others from engine 51 where chatting quietly in a corner. He glanced at Gabby and made short eye contact and smiled. She smiled back.

"No I didn't forget." She said shaking her head to clear the drowsiness. "I lent Casey them and I forgot to get them back." Herman just nodded and grabbed a bagel heading off. Dawson walked over to Casey;

"Can I talk to you for a minute?"

"Sure." He said and walked away snatching a bagel form the box. Once they where out of sight and in his office with the blinds down and the door closed did they speak to one another. "So what's up?" He asked sitting on his chair facing Gabby who was sitting on the bed.

"I feel bad. I feel like I'm lying to the house." Gabby said and starred into Matts eyes. "I mean we should have told them just right away." She looked at her stomach. Matt roles over to her. Grabbing both of her hands on his he said:

"This will be interlay up to you if you tell them or not." Matt said and sat next to her. " but in my opinion I think you... I mean we should tell them." Gabby sighed. She leaned into Matt. This felt comfortable, like home. She terished his sent and he did the same. She looked up at him at the same time he looked down on her. Their lips met midway.
