It ended up with Jimmy being blind and completely burnt. He was in intense ICU on life support. Brett was given family leave and spend most days with him or alone crying. I felt so bad about it all, I was on ambo by myself until they got a stand in, Kelly helped me out if I really needed it.

"Gabby quick help." Cheif called out as they ran to me carrying a white blanket. I looked closer and it was a newborn tiny little baby girl. I nearly broke down crying there and then. I held her in my arms and rubbed her back hoping she'd burp and well hopefully throw up so I knew she was okay. She was awake and fully receiving.

"Who else is in the house?" I sighed.

"No one. Just the baby." Chief shrugged.

"Someone tried to kill their own baby?" I shook my head and then she was sick, all over the floor. "Good girl. Well done." I smiled, kissing her head. I got in the back of the ambulance as Kelly drove us back to the firehouse. Everyone else met us there a little later.

When we got back we were all really emotional. We'd just dealt with a fire with a baby girl was nearly murdered. When I went in Gabby was walking round the room cuddling the baby in her arms. I smiled as she smiled at me. Chief and Kelly were stood around the room watching her as well. I couldn't help but get emotional.

"Oh hey." She smiled.

"Hiya. You okay?" I kissed her head.

"Yeah I'm good thank you." She laughed, just then we got a call, I kissed her head and ran out with the others, I knew Chief would look after her at the firehouse so it was fine. We got to the call and well it was going to take a while by the looks of it.

It was short and sweet seeing Matt. They got a call out pretty quickly, Chief was busy doing something when I heard the door's open, I turned round and it was some women I swore I recognised. 

"Gabby Dawson?" She smiled as she kept looking down at the baby in my arms.

"Yes that's me. What's wrong?"

"I've got some paperwork for you." She smiled, placing paper carefully down on the table.

"About what?" I looked carefully.

"Let me take the baby while you look through it." She smiled.

"I'm capable." I sighed. "I recognise you. Your the woman from when we rescued this girl from the fire." I shook my head. She flung the paperwork on the floor and next thing I knew she had a gun pointing at me.

"Your her mum aren't you?"

"Maybe. I want my daughter back." She shouted, I held the little girl closer to my chest. There was no way I could run anyway because by the time I'd opened the door she would of shot me. I stood there watching her shaking and crying.

"You tried to kill your own daughter?"

"I wasn't thinking straight. I didn't try to kill her!"

"So she was left in a burning house on a accident then?"

"I don't know. Leave me alone. Give me my daughter!" Just as she squeezed the gun even harder I heard the truck pull in and they all came in laughing and joking. It didn't take long for someone to call the police and Jay came in and arrested her, taking the baby girl too to try and find some family members. After giving my statement I went and stood at the window. Matt came over and put his arm around me. I smiled up at him.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm good." I looked down then back out the windows.

"But your shaking?" He questioned raising one eyebrow. I just kissed him lightly and turned and hugged him.

*

She didn't say anything, just hugged me, burying her head right into my chest, she wrapped her hands as far around me as they would go and she just held me there. I felt exhausted so god knows how she felt, she had working more doubles than me.

"Let's get you home." I smiled, taking her hand as we grabbed our stuff and headed back to the apartment with Kelly.

*

When I got home I just laid in bed. I wasn't even tired, just upset. I couldn't decide what I wanted to cry about but something was wrong with me. Matt came in after a little while, he laid on the bed right next to me, facing me, we were looking into each other's eyes, he rested his hand on my back and held me there, he wiped a few tears away from my cheeks.

"You don't have to tell me what's wrong." He smiled.

"I don't even know. I'm upset after today. She tried to kill a newborn baby when we lost one. Why are people like that. We lost a baby and she was trying to get rid of one." I sighed.

"Yeah I know. It's a cruel world. There's nothing stopping us from having that one day though. There's nothing telling us we can't have a baby Gabby. We can always try again."

"I don't know if I'd be able to emotionally handle it. Of course I'd love a family but I think it would put a strain on us both." I saw his eyes glass over as mine did.

"I want to try at least." He smiled.

"But you can't just try with a baby. Your either a part of it or your not. You'll be a brilliant dad but I don't know if you'll cope as well as being alderman."

"I'm sorry. You know how important alderman is for me Gabby. I can't just drop it. As much as I want to be with you and have a family."

"Yeah I understand. Work is always more important than family to you." I closed my eyes as full on tears began to fall, I scrunched my face into a pillow and waited until I finally fell asleep.
