Matt woke up and turned away from the sunlight that shining through the window and he turned on his stomach, looking at the alarm that said it was almost seven. Today was another shift, but he had slept well and he was looking forward to going back to the station. Gabby was probably getting ready as they had to be there at nine and he knew he had to get ready as well soon. Right before he could get out of the bed the bedroom door opened.

''Ooh, what did I do to deserve this?'' Matt looked up surprised as Gabby walked inside the bedroom holding a tray with a plate with pancakes and fruit.

''Keeping me warm last night.'' She handed him the tray and slid into the bed next to him, laying her head on his shoulder.

''Mmmm, is that apple?'' He smiled as he looked at the small pieces in the pancakes.

''Yeah, you like that, right?''

''I like everything you make. Actually I like everything about you.'' He said, acting like he was thinking very hard.

''Smooth.'' She laughed as she picked up a strawberry between her fingers and stuffed it in his mouth. He cut of a chunk of pancake and brought to her mouth.

''You know, I feel less tired than yesterday.'' He smiled after breakfast as they both got out of bed, walking to the kitchen. ''That is just because of my awesome breakfast and my cuddling skills.'' She smiled as they cleaned up the tray and the plate. He yawned several times before sitting down at the breakfast bar.

''I though you said you were less tired.''

''The breakfast did not include coffee.'' He said with a smirk and Gabriela pressed the button of the coffeemaker. ''Oh dear, how could I have forgotten your first basic need that I did not want to have you spilling in my bed?'' She sighed sarcastically. A minute later she put a mug with coffee in front of him and he pecked her on the lips.

''Thank you.''

''Should I shower first while you can enjoy your morning juice?'' She asked as she slipped her underwear off.

''I can also enjoy it with you just standing there and we can shower together to make up time.''

She shrugged. ''Fine with me.''

He drank the coffee very fast and walked up to her, lifting up as he carried her to the shower.

''Matt, put me down! I am too heavy!'' She giggled.

''Oh yeah, are you?'' Right in front of the shower he put her down again as he also got his underwear off and they stepped in the shower.

''You are blocking the water. That is not saving time'' She looked up at him as he was washing his hair but as he was taller than her, he blocked the water.

''Yeah, what are you going to do about it?'' He teased her as he stepped a little backward as he gently pulled her head backward to her hair got wet and he started rubbing the shampoo in.

''Yuck that is your shampoo.''

''Oh what, now I suddenly smell bad?!'' He said quasi-indignant and he washed it out of her hair as he handed her her own shampoo bottle. She rubbed it in her hair but when she wanted to rinse it from her hair he was blocking the water again.

''Matt, come on!'' She laughed as she pushed him aside. Then everything seem to happen in a split second. Losing his balance Matt tried to grab onto her but it was to late and he hit the wall. A loud thumb sounded as his head bounced against the tiles and she tried to grab him, but it was too late. Crawling up he jumped out of the shower, his hand pressed against his head.

''Babe!'' Worried she turned the shower off and looked as he leaned over the sink, rubbing over his head.

''Oh sweetie, I am so sorry!''

''It's not your fault.'' He said as he tried to keep his tears from streaming. It hurt really bad again.

''Should I call a doctor?''

''I though you were a doctor.'' Matt tried took the towel that was next to the sink, drying himself as he tried to hide from her that his head was hurting, afraid she would feel guilty.

''I am not a medical expert. Are you really okay?''

''Yeah, the scar is probably just a little sore.'' He nodded as he dried his head.

''I am so sorry babe.'' She kissed him on his cheek. ''Dizziness?''

''No, I am fine.'' He reassured her and she finally nodded, going back in the shower to rinse the shampoo from her hair. She tried to get the shampoo out as fast as possible, worried.

Matt made his way to the bedroom, rubbing over his head again and he wasn't sure if he should be worried. He was pretty sure everybody would feel this if they hit their head and he started dressing himself to get ready for shift. Walking back to the kitchen he got some more coffee and took his medication as Gabriela popped up beside him again, a towel folded around her and her hair still wet.

''I am so so sorry.'' She wrapped her arms around him from behind and tiptoed so she could just kiss the back of his head.

''Ah, it feels a lot better now.'' He turned around, kissing her and she let go of him.

''Better get dressed.''

''Yeah, I will get our bags ready.''

A few minutes later they were both ready to go and they knew they would be in time for their shift. As they were almost at the staircase he turned around; ''Oops, forgot my keys. Need to pick up some things at home after shift.''

''You might as well pick everything up as you almost live here.'' She smiled and he smiled back as he took her key and ran back to the apartment. Running back into the bedroom he opened the drawer of the nightstand he used to keep his stuff and he slipped the keys in his pocket. In the back of the drawer was still the nearly empty jar, with just two morphine pills left. Looking behind him to make sure Gabby hadn't followed him he grabbed them and slipped them in his pocket as well.

''We have time enough babe, don't worry.'' Gabriela assured him as he came running back and locked the door. He grabbed her hand as they walked down the stairs, as they didn't think it was necessary to take the stairs and she looked up to him once more.

''Are you really okay?''

''I swear, I am okay.'' He smiled at her as they stepped in the car to shift.


NOTE: So is Matt really okay or is he lying to Gabriela? Will he make it through another shift or will his symptoms return? What are the pills for?

I hope you like the idea of a sequel! I am really happy the shift was received so well! Thank you so much and thank you so much for reading this. Please tell me what you thought about it by leaving a review!
