Chapter 23

Matt sat on the floor watching Ellie move herself around on the floor. She wasn't crawling so much as using her legs and bum to move herself. She got to the coffee table and pulled herself up and bounced up and down looking at him.

"Hey sweetheart," He smiled reaching out for her much to her content. She grinned and began to laugh as Matt blew kisses on her cheek, "You want to help Daddy find a new house." He placed her in his lap and continued to look over the houses his relator friend had sent him.

"Oohda," Ellie babbled as she reached out to touch the computer screen, her arms not long enough.

"No this isn't a toy Ellie," Matt told her, "It's for Mommy and Daddy to use. You have your own toys to play with."

Ellie's lower lip began to quiver and she let out cries of anger.

"Oh no Ellie!" Matt shook his head. He wasn't going to let her crying like this lead to her getting what she wanted, "Mommy's sleeping so we need to be quiet."

"Was sleeping," Gabby walked out of the bedroom and down the short hallway. Like she had said, she had moved back into the apartment and she and Matt were trying to work on their relationship.

"Go back to sleep." Matt told her, "I'll take Ellie out for a bit. Maybe go to the park or something."

"No, no I'm to nauseous to sleep," Gabby walked towards the couch. She was pale and looked very sick. "I have a bad feeling Matt," She shook her head tears in her eyes, "What if…"

"No, no," He' been thinking the same thing but didn't want her to stress over it, "If you're feeling this sick we'll go to the hospital. Do you want to go?"

"Not yet," She looked at him, "But I think soon I will. I just don't know if I can get pregnant anymore."

"Hey. Hey it's going to be okay babe," He sat up on the couch with Ellie and pulled her into his arms and kissed the side of her head.

"Mama," Ellie looked at her smiling."

"Hey sweetie," Gabby smiled at her daughter. She loved her so much. "Have you been a good girl for Daddy?"

"Oh you know she's her mother's daughter," Matt joked, "Here," He handed her over. Just then his phone rang and he stood up and answered it.

"Hopefully Daddy doesn't have to leave," Gabby whispered in Ellie's ear. She understood he had obligations as an Alderman but sometimes she still thought his politics came before them.

"That was Susan," Matt returned minutes later.

"And let me guess," Gabby let out a frustrated sigh, "You have to leave?"

"No, she wanted me to go to a Political Summit in Springfield with her but I turned her down. I said that I needed to spend some time with y family. She understood but warned me it wouldn't be good for my political career."

"I don't care," Gabby stood up and kissed him on the lips, "We all love you for staying here with us," She felt another pain in her abdomen and quickly sat down.

"Gabby!" Matt looked at her, fear in his eyes, "We're going to the hospital!"

"No, no," Gabby didn't want to believe anything could be wrong. She couldn't loose this babies too. She just couldn't. "I'll try and get some more sleep. I promise if I feel worse or the same when I wakw up we'll go alright?"

"Yes we will!" Matt told her a deep frown on his face, "You're really scaring me Gabby. I don't like seeing you like this."

"No I'm-" She threw up all over herself and the floor.

"Okay," Matt scooped Ellie up into his arms, "We're going to the ER. Do you need any help getting dressed?"

Gabby tried to turn to walk towards the bedroom but she let out a loud cry of pain. "AH!"

"Mama!" Ellie began to cry.

"I'm calling 911!" Matt got his cell phone, "You have a fever. You must have one. Gabby…"

'No," She shook her head crying, "I know," She knew she'd had another miscarriage. "Just call my parents and ask them to come and watch Ellie for us. You can drive me to the ER. I know…"

"It'll be okay," Matt pulled her into him and whispered soothing things in her ear. It would be extremely tough for bot of them to get over this loss; but he'd make sure this time he was there for her.

Twenty minunte later Matt was pushing Gabby into the ER. Gabby in a wheelchair as she'd been unable to walk due to the pain, "Help! My fiancé I think-"

"Gabby!" Natalie ran over to her and knelt down looking at het friend, "What's wrong?"

"My side!" Gabby cried out in pain.

"Alright," Natalie gently lifted up her shirt, "Could be appendicitis," She told her, "How many weeks pregnant are you?"

"Fourteen. It's twins." Matt answered, "If it is her appendix can you operate?" He was worried sick. He wanted Gabby to get better but he didn't want t loose the babies either. "Just try and save all of them Natalie but…. Look after Gabby."

"We need to get an x-ray. Maggie can you get Dr. Rhodes down here for a surgical consult?" She asked her friend as she pushed Gabby into an examination room.

"Of course," Maggie nodded her head and got out her cell phone to page the doctor.

"Hopefully the x=ray room should be free soon," Natalie explained to Gabby, "But for now I just need to ask a few questions. Matt can answer if you can't."

"My babies!" Gabby let out a sharp cry. "Did I have a miscarriage?"

"No, no I don't think so but we can-" Natalie looked at her and then Gabby eyes closed. "Gabby!" She called, "WE NEED A GURNEY!" She called frantically.

"What's wrong?" Matt asked as he watched everything. He was having flashbacks to when she lost the baby less then a year ago. "What's going on?"

"We need to get het up to the OR," Natalie explained, "You can wait up there. We'll know more soon and then someone will come and talk to you," Natalie told him as she went with Gabby up to the elevator.

Matt watched them rush her away and began to cry. This couldn't; be happening again. Not wanting to be alone and knowing the other would want to know he began making calls. Despite it being a day off everyone arrived. They had been sitting in the waiting room her almost three hours when Dr. Rhodes came in.

"How is she? The babies?" Matt stood up. His entire body trembling.

"She had appendicitis. Her appendix ruptured and we believe that was when she went unconscious. Luckily we were able to operate on her before the infection spread to other parts of her body. Due to her being pregnant the operation took longer then usual. We're almost positive though that she and your twins are going to make a full recovery. Although she is going to be bedridden for almost a month and quite possibly for the rest of the pregnancy."

"Oh my gosh," Matt let out a huge sigh of relief. He was so thankful that they were all going to be okay, "Can I see her?"

"Yes. She's being moved to a recovery room right now. She should be waking up in half an hour or so. She's going to be in a lot of pain though. We were unable to know her out completely with anaesthetics.

"Right," Matt nodded his head. He understood and was just about to ask Boden for the next few shifts off when he spoke up.

"You have about two weeks of furlo saved up Casey. You can use as much of that as you want. When the babies are born you can go on paternal leave if you wish."

"Thank you chief," Matt nodded his head; he had always been very apperceived of how much house fifty-one was like a second family, especially in times like this.

"You go be with here now, we'll come and visit her when she's feeling up to it."

"Yes I'll let you know," Matt smiled at all of them as they all stood to leave, Hermann walking towards him.

"Are Gabby's parents watching Ellie?"

"Yeah."

"I know Gabby's always been worried about them taking her for to long. If she wants Cindy and to take her for a day or more just let me know."

Matt knew the offer was serious and he appreciated it, "Her parents are actually leaving for a cruise tomorrow," He scratched the back of his ear, "They said depending on what happened with Gabby they'd cancel. I was just about to call them."

"I'll wait," Hermann nodded, "Gabby's like a daughter to me I'd do anything for her."

"I know and thank you," Matt smiled and got out his cell phone to call his in-laws. They were both very relieved that Gabby was going to recover and the babies were okay. They had wanted to cancel but Matt had insisted they go. They'd down o much for Gabby and Ellie in the past month it was his turn.

"Alright," Matt put his phone in his pocket and walked back to Hermann, "They're going to go ahead with the cruise and just check in a lot. It's only for a week. I'm not sure what Antonio's schedule is like right now but I'm sure he could take Ellie for a few days.

"No, no," Hermann shook his head, "Ellie's a great little girl and my kids love her. Beside the kids are still in school during the day and she can just come along for all of their extra curricular activities. You want me to go and get her now? Give your in-laws some time to pack and get ready."

"That would be great. Only if you want though"

"Done."

"Okay I'll call them and let them know.'

"Right, Herman nodded, "Everything she'll need just in her room?"

'Yeah there should be a diaper bag there you can fill. Most important things are her doll, and her pink blanket. She'll be miserable without those."

"Okay," Hermann nodded.

"Thanks," Matt sighed with relief again. He didn't; know what he'd' do without Hermann.

"Anytime, you three are family," He smiled and gave him a pat on the shoulder before leaving, "Give all of my love to Gabby."

"I will."

The End.

A\N: Okay, I'm not going to lie I originally had this ending in a cliff-hanger but I decided against it.
