"Antonio, please can we go and see mum and dad." Jamie asked as he walked into the room, a glass of water in his hand.

"Jamie, your parents are at work, they will be back here tomorrow morning." he replied looking over his shoulder as his nephew who was walking towards him.

"But Mum said that we could come and see her and dad if we wanted to." he said taking a seat next to him.

"Ok, if you promise to go and have a shower, then I will give her a call. They may be out on a call."

Jamie slid off the sofa and placed his cup on the coaster that was closest to him. "Fine, but don't forget that Libby is still at school. Mum and Dad both dropped her off on their way to work, I can't wait to go back." he said as he made his way towards the door.

Watching Jamie walk away made Antonio really think about how his relationship with his ex-wife and his kids. As soon as he got the call from Boden that Jamie had gone into hospital he could remember the feeling that spread across his body. He remembered that his body went on to auto-pilot and the next thing he remembered was getting on the first plane he could from Orlando to Chicago. Although he was his uncle, Antonio always felt something more than an 'Uncle Love' for Jamie. Afterall he was there when his sister had gone into labour and her at-the-time boyfriend was being arrested by his boss. Jamie had been everything they had wanted, Matt and Gabby included, and spending time with him was what he wanted. A light vibration woke him from his daydream. He pulled out his phone and Matt's caller ID lit up the screen, "Hey Matt you ok?" he asked putting the TV remote on the table beside him.

"Hey Antonio, i just got off the radio with Gabby and asked me to call you. She said that she had spoken to Jamie about coming to the firehouse today if he felt like it." he said through the phone.

"This is Jamie we're talking about, he would never turn down an opportunity to come to the firehouse."

"Yeah, he likes it here." Matt said his voice a little distant.

"Hey bud, is everything ok?" Antonio asked sitting up in his chair as Jamie walked in.

"Who is it?" he whispered.

'Your Dad.' he mouthed back.

"Oh, can i talk to him?" Jamie asked making his way closer to his uncle.

"Yeah I'm fine." Matt exhaled "I just miss him you know, it sounds sad but it has been nearly seven hours and it feels longer than it has been."

"Yeah i know how you feel, i miss the kids a lot. But there is something i can do about that." Antonio said as he looked over to Jamie, who had a huge smile on his face. "He's right here, you want to talk to him?"

Matt's tone lifted almost instantly as the news came down the phone line. "Antonio, don't ask stupid questions." Matt teased.

"I'll speak to you later." Antonio concluded as he passed the phone over to Jamie.

"Hi Monkey." Matt said happily, making everyone look up with a smile.

"Hi daddy, i'm sorry i wasn't awake before you and mummy left for work."

"Don't worry about it sweetie, did Antonio tell you that you can come to the firehouse today if you feel up to it!" Casey looked up to see the 61 girls walk through the common room doors towards the rest of the team.
