This story starts from episode 2x7( no regrets). Matt is planning the trip to lake Carroll with Ben and Griffen. Heather has not called saying she is being released yet.
Matt's house...
"You three make quite a crew.". Gabby says sitting at the dining room table fixing Ben's GI Joe doll.
"Yeah, which reminds me a cabin at lake Carroll two days pulling large mouth and crystal blue water." Matt says placing the brochure on the table for Gabby to see.
"Oh man their gonna love that, and so will you." Gabby said with her bright smile.
"Yes I will." Matt says nodding his head. I'm gonna tell them tomorrow after shift.
"Tell us what?" Griffen asks from the kitchen doorway, where he and Ben stood." Are we in trouble"
"No not at all." Matt walked over to them and walked them both to the table to sit." Well I was going to surprise you both with a weekend in a cabin at lake Carroll."
"Really awesome, cool." Both boys jumped up and down in excitement." When do we leave?"
"Tomorrow after my shift." Matt answers them as they both look over the brochure.
"Gabby are you coming too?" Ben asked in his sweet innocent voice.
"Oh no sweetheart, just you three are going." Gabby answered slightly embarrassed.
" Why wouldn't you go with us?" Griffen spoke. "You deserve a vacation too, right Uncle Matt."
"Um well yeah Gabby is a huge help with you guys but I'm sure she is busy this weekend?" Matt said nervously rubbing the back of his neck with his hand.
"So does that mean she could come?" Ben asked excited.
"Of course she is welcome to come with us." Matt stated shyly as he watched Gabby's reaction.
"Gabby can you go please, pretty please?" Both boys begged.
"Well how can I say no to that invitation." Gabby says standing from her chair to hug the boys. "Are you sure it's ok?" She whispered to Matt
"Absolutely." Matt tells her as his blue eyes gaze into her brown eyes.
"Uncle Matt we are going to be late to school." Griffen says breaking their moment.
"Right right." He says flustered." Go grab your school bags in your room."
"Well I'll see you guys in the morning." Gabby said as she got ready to leave as well." I'll see you at work."
"Sure." Matt says grabbing his keys and his duffel bag for work.
In the bedroom Ben and Griffen gave each other a high five." I knew it would work." They both agreed for they had over heard Matt's plans to go away. They both had conspired to get Gabby to come along for the weekend as well. "They need to see that they both like each other." With our help.
"What are you guys up to?" Matt asks walking into their room.
"What do you mean?" They both said innocent. "Did you not want Gabby to come with us?"
"No that's not what I'm asking I'm asking what your up to?" Matt asks suspicious." You both know we are just friends right?"
"Yeah why else would we invite her Uncle Matt?" They said walking past him towards the front door.
"Yeah right." Matt said under his breath following the boys to the front door to leave.
Gabby and Matt had a horrible shift that day. Gabby heard the news of Boden retiring, which Matt knew for a few days already. But today the call to the train crash scene affected Matt a little more then usual. When a victim asks Casey if he was a father his answer was yes since his obligations have made him take on that roll. He spent most of the call searching for the mans daughter.
Elsewhere Gabby and Shay were setting up a triage area for all the hurt victims. They needed to sort thru injuries to determine the severity in order to treat properly. Shay was having a hard time handling her emotions today. Ever since Darryl committed suicide in front of them a few months ago, they had a falling out. Gabby could see Leslie's pain but couldn't find a way to get thru to her.
After this horrible day to top it off when they got back to the station Gail McCloud was there to rub Chief Boden's retirement in his face.
It was nearing the end of shift and Gabby was heading towards the locker room when she saw Matt sitting at his desk in his office doing paper work." Hey" she said knocking on the door.
"Hey." Matt responded turning his body to face Gabby with a big smile on his face." Some shift huh?"
"Yeah I know I'm really looking forward to getting away, are you sure you don't mind, I know the boys ambushed you?" Gabby asked afraid of being rejected.
"Absolutely it will be great to have you come, and the boys would be disappointed if you didn't come now." Matt says but deep down it was him who would be disappointed if she backed out now." Actually was gonna ask if you minded using your car so we can all fit comftable. My truck isn't really family oriented." As soon as Matt said that he felt the blush form on his cheeks. Looking at Gabby her face matched his from that last comment.
"Of course, if you mind driving since you know where your going?" She responded trying not to think to much about what he just said.
"Yes I can drive." He answers as they both stare in akward silence again. Matt is the one to break first. "I need to get the boys from my sister's house then we can meet up at my place?"
"Great that gives me sometime to get myself together." Gabby says." I'll let you finish your work, and I'll see you guys in a little while." Gabby says before she walks away blushing still as she tucks her hair behind her ear, not realising Casey is watching her walk away with his own smile spread across his face.
Gabby and Matt don't realise yet this will be a weekend to remember when they finally admit their feelings for each other, but will it work out for them or will Ben and Griffen get in the way?
