Matt and Gabby where supposed to go to work today, that was before they woke up and found 6 feet of snow covering most of their street, and upon calling Severide and Brett figured that most of Chicago was much the same. Matt moved around the house making sure it was warm enough for Gabby and their unborn baby. She was just on 8 and a half months this week. So when she got up this morning and felt a twinge in her lower back she said nothing figuring it was Braxton Hicks contractions. As the day went on they both cuddled on the couch and did what they would normally do on a day off. Since no one was able to get out and to 51 for shift. She eat, napped, watched TV, had Matt run around after her.

As dinner came around the lights in the house started to flicker and soon went out altogether. Gabby wasn't concerned though, they had a fireplace and once Matt tested the hot water in the kitchen figured they still had that running too. So while she cooked Matt went around to a few of the rooms and turned the heaters on before lighting the fire in their living room.

"Babe, foods ready" said Gabby feeling another twinge in her back. Drowning in a breath she put on a smile for Matt not wanting to freak him out. They sat down in front of the fire and eat their food. after Gabby got up to use the bathroom and that's when her water broke.

"Matt!" She yelled standing in a puddle of fluid, trying now not to freak out herself. Matt raced up the stairs of their house and into their room spotting Gabby looking shocked in the bathroom

"Honey? What's wrong?" He asked her

"I ah....... I thought they where Braxton Hicks...... I um guess I was wrong" She said to him feeling a proper contraction hit, She doubled over grabbing the side of the sink to stop her falling onto her knees

"Yup definitely not Braxton Hicks!" She said as it passed

"Ok" he said looking at her "WHAT DO WE DO!" He said loudly panicking

"For one we don't panic!" She said to him "and you call yourself a firefighter!" She added

"You're the paramedic in the family too!" He shot back at her

"Ok we are not going to panic Matthew James Casey! We are going to call Will" She said

"and i'm going to get out of these cause I now feel decidedly gross" She added as Matt went and grabbed he's phone before calling Will. He's phone rang a couple of times before the doctor picked up

"Matt? Is everything ok?" He asked worried

"Ah yeah Gabby's waters broke" He said

"What?" he asked alarmed, He had been cuddling in bed with Natalie since they couldn't get out of their house to get to work either. Matt could faintly hear her in the back ground as he told her what was up.

"Matt? Is Gabby ok?" She asked him

"As ok as she can be, she's in labour!" He told her

"ok, how comfortable are you with a water birth?" she asked

"I'm guessing I'm about to become very comfortable with it" he said to her

"Yeah, it's the best thing I can suggest if you guys are anything like us you're pretty much stuck right where you are" she said to him

"yup" He said looking over at Gabby who was leaning on the bed rocking as another contraction hit her. He walked over to her rubbing her back.

"Matt do you want to put me on speaker?" She asked him as he placed the phone down on the bed before hitting the speaker button.

"Hey Gabby how you going?" Asked Manning

"Oooh, Good. I guess. This hurts though" She said to her
