Something's gotta give

The hospital

"Female, mid thirties involved in a car crash. Large lacerations on upper face and right thigh which cut the femoral artery. Possible broken arm" the paramedic called out in the emergency room of chicago med.
"Okay, get her to trauma 2 and call the blood bank!" Natalie manning called out as she followed the gurney into the trauma room.
"Male, forty also in car crash thrown from vehicle. Possible spinal injury. Had to resuscitate once on the way over here" another paramedic calls out.
"Get him to trauma 1 and call orthopaedics- tell them its a firefighter and they need to get here now!" Dr halstead shouted as he got to the trauma room.
The two firefighters were followed by all of firehouse 51 with worried looks on their faces.
"Are they gonna be okay" matt desperately asked nurse maggie.
"They're in good hands, we're gonna do all we can for them. They're our number one priority right now" maggie tried to reassure everyone.

An hour later there still wasn't any news. Both severide and dawson were in surgery and no one knew how long it was going to take until dr manning came out with a sad look on her face.
"Gabby is out of surgery but in the icu. We managed to stop the bleeding from her leg and re position her broken arm but she has a worrying trauma to the head and we want to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't start to bleed. We put her in an induced coma to give her brain time to heal on its own" dr manning sighed and apologised for the bad news. Everyone was devastated.
"Can we see her?" Sylvie questioned with red rimmed eyes.
"Of course" manning replied sympathetically.
Everyone followed manning into the icu and gabbys room. She looked almost dead. Hooked up to a ventilator with wires dangling everywhere. It was quite crowded in the room but no one seemed to care. They just wanted to be with gabby.
"What about severide?" Otis asked dr manning.
"He's still in surgery, I'll try to get an update on him as soon as i can" with that, manning walked out of the room.

A couple hours later severide got out of surgery. He had to have a metal bar inserted into his spine to help it heal. He would definitely be off active duty for up to a year.
"Hows gabby?" Severide asked boden scared of what the answer would be.
"She had severe head trauma and needed to be put in a coma for it to heal. I'm sorry severide" boden sighed. He had figured out that they were more than friends but didn't want to lecture him about in house relationships- the situation didn't call for it.
"And the guy who hit us with his truck?" Severide questioned.
There was a slight hesitation before boden answered.
"We couldn't find him. He left the truck before we got there. Cpd is on the case and they have reassured us they wont rest until they catch the son of a bitch" boden got a bit angry but calmed himself down.
"When can i see gabby?" Severide changed the subject.
"Whenever you're ready"
They managed to get severides hospital bed down to the icu so that he could stay in the same room as gabby. It had been three days since she was put in a coma amd things didn't look so great.
