A BROTHER'S ULTINATE REVENGE

There was no way to predict the horror that would be unleashed in Chicago. Everything appeared to be normal at firehouse 51. Except for Matt's mood, since Gabby moved to Puerto Rico. Diego had come to check on Uncle Matt. Gabby had called & asked him to check on Matt. Matt wasn't returning or answering her calls.

Matt "I appreciate your concern Diego, I will call gabby when I'm ready."

Diego "ok." He walked away defeated.

He went to talk to Sylvie. "Hey, Brett."

Sylvie "oh hey Diego. What brings you to the firehouse?"

Diego "Aunt Gabby sent me to check on Matt. How have you been?"

Sylvie "I really miss gabby."

Diego "I miss having you around. My dad and you are good together. He's happier when he's with you."

Sylvie "listen Diego, your dad is an amazing man. I care about him so much. My feelings for him have never gone away."

Diego "you love him, don't you Brett." It was a statement not a question. Kids always seemed to pick up on things adults seemed to be totally clueless.

Sylvie "of course I do. But it's not always that simple."

Diego "Dad loves you, you love him. I think it is that simple. But you both are so stubborn to admit it. Look I love my mom, but she continues to try and make his life miserable. She wants to take any ounce of happiness that is in his life away. Brett, don't let my mom destroy your happiness. Eva and I are getting older. She isn't going to be able to use us kids to hurt dad anymore. So she attacks anyone my dad starts to date. He needs you, you need him, Eva and I need you too. Promise me you'll at least talk to him."

Sylvie "ok Diego, I will. I promise."

Cruz was watching and listening to their conversation.

Otis "Cruz, don't."

Cruz "don't what?"

Otis "you know what I'm talking about. Look her heart belongs to Antonio. You and I both know it. And don't look at me like that. You know I'm right." Cruz and Otis walked outside.

Most of the firehouse went outside to run drills. Boden, Connie, Sylvie, Diego and Mouch. There was an explosion that ripped through 51.

Matt "oh my God. Get intelligence on the line now!!! Diego is in there!!!"

Diego's ears were ringing. He looked around, saw Sylvie lying there. "Sylvie, are you ok? Please open up your eyes!!" He felt for a pulse. There was a faint pulse. Gabby had taught him first aide."

Hank "ok everyone, stop what your working on. Firehouse 51 is in ruins. A bomb has ripped through the house. Most of them were outside. But there were people who were left inside when the bomb went off. Antonio, Matt called, Diego was in the house."

Terror was in Antonio's eyes. "My son was in there?"

Hank "yes." Antonio "who else?"

Diego tried his phone, he thankfully got through to his dad.

Antonio "it's Diego. Please tell me your ok." Diego " I'm fine. But I can't see any light."

Antonio "can you find your way out?" Diego "I don't know dad, but I'm not leaving her."

Antonio "who?" He already knew the answer. Diego "Sylvie, dad. She has a pulse, but it's weak. She won't open her eyes, dad."

Antonio "I'm on my way. Just stay where you are."

Diego "Dad, Brett......" Antonio "Brett what?"

Diego "she loves you. She needs you right now." Antonio "oh God. Diego, keep trying to talk to her. I love you Diego. Tell Sylvie I love her too."

Diego "I have you on speaker. Tell her yourself. Maybe hearing your voice will...." Diego started crying, which broke Antonio. He was tough, but when it came to his kids. Antonio could hear his son cry. "Sylvie, you need to stay with me. I love you so much. I'm coming to get you. Don't leave me baby, please. I promise to make things right with us."

Intelligence arrived on scene. There was chaos there. 51 was trying to get to the people left. Buried into the rubble.

Hank spoke to his unit "I want to find out who the hell is responsible. This is an attack on our family. Ask for forgiveness later. Find the son of a bitch who did this!!!"

Bomb and arson arrived on scene.

Antonio went straight to Matt "have you located Diego and Sylvie?"

Matt "no, Diego came to check on me. I saw him talking to Sylvie when I went outside."

Antonio " I have Diego on the line. He's ok, but Sylvie is unconscious. I have to get to them." Antonio "Diego can you hear us close to you?"

Diego saw light starting to show through. He saw Kelly peek his head through. "Dad, I see Kelly."

Kelly "I'm coming to get you. Just hang on."

He attached a rope to him. Letting him be pulled to safety. He radioed "send a board down here."

Sylvie opened her eyes, as Kelly was securing her. "Kelly, Diego?"

Kelly "he's ok. We got him out. Hang on Sylvie, but you need to stay still." Kelly saw the gash on Sylvie's side. She was losing blood.

Sylvie " thank God." Diego saw that Sylvie was conscious "Sylvie!!!" Sylvie "I'm ok. You?"

Diego "I'm fine. I thought you were...."

Sylvie "sssshhhhh Diego. I am here." Diego "I love you Brett."

Sylvie "I love you too D." Diego "Dad is here."

Antonio "I'm right here. I thought I lost you." Sylvie "I'm not going anywhere. Except maybe to med. By they way I heard what you said."

Antonio "you heard that?" Sylvie "I love you too." Antonio "I love you so much."

Hank sent Antonio to the hospital with Diego and Sylvie. Until they knew who did this. Police presence was going to be upped.

On the way to med, Sylvie's vitals dropped. All Antonio and Diego could do was watch in horror. While the paramedic worked on stabilizing Sylvie.

Antonio "Sylvie, baby please don't leave me. You fight for us, please."

Arriving at med, Dr Rhodes was waiting. "Antonio, let us work on her. I need you to go with Maggie, you need to sign some papers."

Maggie "you're Sylvie's emergency contact. You are the one to make any decisions. I talked to her when she made you her emergency contact, after gabby moved. She trusts you."

Antonio was numb as he signed consent forms. "Maggie, I can't lose her."

Maggie "Dr Rhodes is the best. She's in good hands. Does intelligence have any leads?"

Antonio "I don't know. I left with Diego and Sylvie."

Dr Halstead came up to Antonio "Diego is going to be ok. But I would like to keep him overnight for observation. Given what he went through, I want to make sure." April "we are taking Sylvie to surgery. We will let you know when she is out of surgery."

Laura had shown up "what the hell was my son doing at the firehouse!!!" Antonio "he's fine. How about we just let it be. We should be thankful Diego is fine. They are just keeping him overnight for observation. By the way he's 'our son', so get it straight. Laura "so what about your blonde friend/girlfriend, whatever she is."

Antonio got in Laura's face "Her name is Sylvie!!! Don't test me Laura, I'm done with your crap." Antonio walked in Diego's room. Laura was right behind Antonio.

Diego "how's Brett?"

Antonio "she's in surgery. That's all I know. But she's tough and she's feisty."

Dr Rhodes came into talk to Antonio. Antonio "Diego, I'll be right. Your mom will be with you."

Antonio sat down in the Doctor's Lounge "you saved my dad. Please give me some good news."

Dr Rhodes "we cleaned and stitched up her wound. She had laceration to her liver. I sewed up the laceration to her liver. We gave her a lot of blood. We can only hope that she will be ok. The next 24-48 hours are going to be critical.

Antonio's phone rang "hank, please tell you have an update."

Voight "we are on our way to visit George Lehr." Antonio "why lehr?"

Voight "we believe his brother Edmond Lehr is behind this. REVENGE for his brother."

Voight "how's Sylvie and Diego?"

Antonio "Diego is fine, they are keeping him overnight for observation. Sylvie, she's in critical condition. This is all....."

Voight "don't Antonio, no one could have predicted this. We will find him and when we do I'll give you a call. Stay at the hospital."

Antonio "anyone else hurt?"

Voight "everyone made it out. Sylvie's injuries are the most severe. A few bumps and bruises. But there definitely was a higher power watching over firehouse 51." Antonio went to Sylvie's room. He felt his heart beating fast. He gasped at the sight of this beautiful woman. He sat down in a chair, took his hand into his. Kissing her soft hand. He looked at the monitors. The only sound was the machines and the beeping of the monitors that echoed through the room. He just wanted to hear her voice, see her chew on her lip when she was nervous. He kissed her hand.

Antonio "Sylvie, Diego is going to be ok. But I need you to open your big beautiful eyes for me. I need to know you're going to be ok. I love you.....oh God I love you baby. I promise to spend every day loving you. Please Brett, stay with me." Antonio felt her hand squeeze his. Sylvie "Antonio, don't cry. I'm here and I'm ok. I love you, I want us. What is bothering you?"

Antonio "You remember George Lehr?" Sylvie "yes."

Antonio "the evidence is leading back to his brother Edmond Lehr. A REVENGE thing. This is all my fault. I shouldn't have gotten you and gabby involved." Sylvie "Antonio Dawson, this isn't your fault. You can't carry this guilt. But I do want something."

Antonio "anything."

Sylvie moved over on the bed, leaving room for Antonio. "Hold me." Antonio was careful not to hurt Sylvie. He held her close, stroking her her. "I love you Sylvie." Sylvie "I love you too. Now kiss me." He leaned in for a kiss. Kissing her gently. But it was a kiss filled with love. Sylvie drifted off to sleep in his arms.

Otis and Cruz came into the room.

Otis "how is Sylvie?"

Antonio whispered "she will be ok. She's already bossing me around."

Sylvie's eyes were shut as she spoke "I heard that. Cruz and Otis keep your mouths shut." Cruz chuckled "she's definitely going to be ok." Antonio's phone rang. "I have to take this." He carefully got out of bed. "Voight tell me you have him in custody."Voight "he's in custody. But he has lawyered up. We need to make sure we nail him. We can't let someone like that find a loop hole to get away with this. Just stay with your family at the hospital. You have an amazing woman. She makes you a better man. Don't let her go again."Antonio knew what voight ment. "She's amazing. She's going to be ok. Trust me I'm not letting her go this time."Antonio walked back in the room.Sylvie "they got him."Antonio "yeah baby, they did."

Otis and Cruz were heading out of the room. Cruz "don't hurt her again. Or I'll hurt you Antonio."

Antonio " actually guys, would you mind staying. I need to check on Diego." Walking back into Diego's room. He saw Laura was still there. Along with his parents.

Diego "dad, how's Brett?"

Antonio "she made it through surgery. She is awake and talking."

Throughout the night Antonio went back and forth between Sylvie and Diego's rooms. Diego was discharged early in the morning from the hospital. So Antonio finally fell asleep in Sylvie's room, holding Sylvie's hand. He was beyond exhausted. He woke up to Sylvie squeezing his hand.Sylvie "Antonio. Where's Diego?"Antonio "he went home with his mom. How are you feeling?"Sylvie "sore. Everything hurts. But pain let's me know I'm still alive."Antonio leaned in to kiss her. "I love you Brett."

Sylvie "I love you too Antonio."

❤❤❤FAR AWAY❤❤❤

Antonio Dawson was rethinking his life. His addiction took over his life. Hurt the people he loved. Out of rehab, he was back at work. The one person that loved him unconditionally was Sylvie. He royally fucked up that relationship. She had moved on with Chaplen Kyle Sheffield. Everyone had left intelligence for the day, except for Voight. Walking into his office, Antonio sat down.

Hank "how was your first day back?"

Antonio "ok. I know I fucked up. I hurt the people I love. Man, I fucked up. Now I'm alone."

Hank "you have your family behind you. Your kids love you. But your not talking about them right now. Are you Dawson."

Antonio "Sylvie has moved on with Kyle. She's happy with him. I can't tell her....."

Hank "you can't tell her you love her. Because you do, don't you."

Antonio "I love Sylvie. I wished to hell I didn't. She deserves better than me. I have baggage that is never going to go away."

Hank "I'm going to give you advice whether you want to hear it or not. Fight for Sylvie. If you truly are in love with her, make it right with her. But you need to be committed. No backing out or letting people in your life dictate your life."

Molly's was having another karaoke night. Which is always exciting and sometimes comical. Booze and a microphone could equal some embarrassment. But that was were the entertainment lies in.

Sylvie was there with Kyle.

Kyle "are you going to sing?"

Sylvie "I don't think so."

Kyle "you have a beautiful voice."

Antonio was up. He was definitely nervous.

Hank whispered in his ear "you got this bro. Fight for the love of your life."

Antonio "ok. I want to dedicate this song to an amazing person."

It was a nickelback song.

Antonio

"This time, this place, misused mistakes. To long, to late. Who was I to make you wait? Just one chance, just one breath. Just in case there's just one left. Cause you know you know, you know."

"That I love you. I have loved you all along and I miss you. Been away for far too long. I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go. Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore."

Sylvie had tears in her eyes. She knew who he was singing to her.

Kyle whispered "hey, are you ok?"

Sylvie "no. Why is he doing this to me?"

"On my knees, I'll ask last chance for one last dance. Cause with you, I'd withstand. All of hell to hold your hand. I'd give it all, I'd give for us. Give anything, but I won't give up. Cause you know you know, you know."

"That I love you, I have loved yourself all along & I miss you. Been far away for far too long. I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go. Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore."

Sylvie had her hand over hand over her mouth. She had silent tears flowing down her cheeks.

".....i needed, I need to hear you say. That I love you, I have loved you all along. And I forgive you, for being away for far too long."

Sylvie "I'm so sorry Kyle. I need some air."

Kyle " do you want me to go with you?"

Sylvie "no, I need to figure this out myself. I never wanted to hurt you."

Kyle "why do I feel that this is goodbye?"

Sylvie "goodbye Kyle."

Outside Sylvie sighed and looked up at the star light sky. A shooting star shot through the sky. Sylvie closed her eyes and made a wish.

Emily came outside. She felt protective of Kyle "Brett, you can't walk away from Kyle. He is a good man. He's good for you."

Sylvie "but my heart already belongs to another man. I don't expect you to understand. So please, back off. I'm going to leave by myself."

Sylvie was sitting in her car outside of Antonio's place. She didn't want to go home. Her roommates would be all over her. She heard a knock on her window. There stood Antonio Dawson. Sylvie followed Antonio inside. He closed the door. He pulled Sylvie in for a hug. The smell of her hair was intoxicating. He missed her so much.

Antonio "you're here. You're really here. I didn't think you would come."

Sylvie "I'm here because I love you."

Antonio "you do?"

Sylvie "I love you. I love you. I love you."

Antonio "I love you Sylvie Brett. I love you so much."

HIS SAVING GRACE

After hearing Antonio was addicted to oxy, Kim knew there was one person that could reach him. His ex Sylvie Brett. Kim arrived at her apartment to pick her up. But really she wanted to talk to her about Antonio.

Sylvie opened the door "hey Kim, please come in. I just need to grab my purse."

Kim "actually I need to talk to you. I just don't know where to start."

Sylvie "well, just sit down. I'll grab us some beers."

Sitting down "ok Kim, what wrong?"

Kim "I wouldn't be coming to you, but I didn't know who else to turn too."

Sylvie "ok. I'm listening."

Kim "have you been in contact with Antonio lately?"

Sylvie "no. We just never seem to work. At least beyond the bedroom. Why? Is something going on with Antonio? Does this have to do with what happened to Eva?"

Kim "what happened to Eva was a result of Antonio's addiction to oxy. He got injured on the job and it just spiraled out of control."

Sylvie "oh my God! Antonio is the strongest person I know. This has to be killing him. His kids are the most important thing in his life."

Kim "along with you. Right now he's in rehab at Chicago Med. I know Antonio was at his best when he was with you. He fell in love with you. I know that, even if he won't admit it. Even if you won't admit it too."

Sylvie "ok, I'll try talking to him. But I can't promise anything. If he doesn't want to see me, then I can't."

Sylvie arrived at med to see Antonio. She was outside his room, she saw him sitting there. Hands in his face, looking defeated. She knocked on the door and entered in slowly.

Sylvie "hi."

Antonio "hi."

Sylvie "if you don't want me here, I can go."

Antonio "no, please stay."

Sylvie sat down next to Antonio on the couch.

Antonio "Sylvie, I royally fucked up this time. My daughter got hurt because of me. I've failed at everything. My marriage, my kids and you. It seems that I keep hurting the people I love the most."

Sylvie held her hands out "come here."

He laid his head on her lap and just started sobbing.

Sylvie ran her hand through his hair "ssshhh baby, I'm right here. Just let it all out. I'm not going anywhere."

Antonio "what have I done?"

Sylvie "you're human. You're not invincible. You don't have to go through life alone. Let the people who love you, help you."

Antonio "you really do care about me."

Sylvie "I wouldn't be here if I didn't."

Antonio fell asleep, with his head on Sylvie's lap. He truly felt peaceful. Sylvie continued to run her hands through his hair.

She whispered softly "I love you so much Antonio Dawson." Sylvie drifted off to sleep.

Antonio woke up. Sometime during the middle of the night. Sylvie was cuddled up with Antonio. He ran his fingers through her hair. He didn't know what the future held. But the fact that Sylvie came here, when he needed her the most. He loves her so much.

Antonio whispered to a sleeping Sylvie. "I love you, so much."

[carebear102279]

HAVE MY BACK

Sylvie was at Molly's, nursing a broken heart. Kyle ended things with her, he accused her of not being 100% committed in their relationship. He implied that her heart belonged to someone else. Maybe that was true, but Sylvie wasn't ready to admit it to herself or anyone else. Kim had sat down next to Sylvie.

Kim "are you ok?"

Sylvie "hhhmmmm?"

Kim "Sylvie, what is wrong?"

Sylvie "my relationship with Kyle ended. He ended things."

Kim "I'm really sorry to hear that."

Sylvie "thanks. He said my heart was in our relationship."

Kim "what did he mean by that?"

Antonio walked into Molly's. Sylvie saw him and just sighed.

Kim "Antonio?"

Sylvie "we haven't been a couple for awhile. But Kyle implied more or less, I wasn't over my ex. My life is totally fucked up. I'm beginning to think I deserve to be alone for the rest of my life. Maybe I just don't deserve happiness."

Kim "Sylvie, don't say that. You are an amazing person."

Sylvie had a tear roll down her cheek "I wish I could believe you, really Kim. I'm going to head home. Maybe I just need to go back home."

Kim "Indiana?"

Sylvie "see you Kim. Take care of him." She looked at Antonio.

After Sylvie left. Kim sat there dumbfounded. She didn't know what to say. Sylvie was generally a happy person.

Antonio sat down across from Kim. "Hey Burgess, what's wrong?"

Kim "Sylvie."

Antonio had a panicked look on his face. "Did something happen to Brett? Is she ok? Please tell me she's ok."

Kim shook her head no. But remained silent.

Antonio "dammit talk to me!"

Kim "ok. But I need you to listen to me. Please just listen." He nodded his head. Kim "Kyle broke up with Sylvie. Something about she wasn't in the relationship. That her heart belonged to someone else. It's you Antonio. She thinks that she doesn't deserve to be happy. I think she is thinking of moving home. Back to Indiana. I don't know what happened between you two. But I know what is like to try to move on, but your heart is pulled in so many directions. Having my heart never whole."

Antonio "Indiana?"

Kim "how do you really feel about Brett?"

Antonio looked at her, tears in his eyes. He never wanted to hurt Sylvie. He cared to much about her. Heck he loved her.

Antonio "thanks Kim. I'm going to go and find her. I can't let her leave. Or have her believe she doesn't deserve love. By the way, tell Adam how you feel. Upton is a great person. But Adam is your Brett. Isn't he."

He drove past Sylvie's place and she wasn't there. He was going to go home and pack a bag. He was going to go get her. He wanted to deck Kyle. But that would have to wait. The kids were at their mom's.

Walking to his door. He saw a certain blonde. Sitting on the floor, head and arms resting on her knees. Asleep. He unlocked his door and picked her up his arms.

Sylvie opened her eyes "Antonio. You're here."

Antonio kissed her head "it's ok. I've got you Brett. You're safe. I've got you."

Sylvie "I'm so sorry, I didn't want to burden you with my problem. Bathroom."

Antonio held her hair while she threw up. Rubbing her back. He had no clue how drunk she got or how she managed to get here.

Sylvie "my head is killing me."

Antonio "how bad is it?"

Sylvie "Antonio, I love you."

Sylvie got up and fainted. Antonio caught her before she hit the floor. "Sylvie, please stay with me. I love you too."

He got her in his car. Turned on his sirens and raced to med. At med he carried her in. "I NEED HELP!!!

Will "oh my God, Brett!! What happened."

Antonio "she was drinking. She was outside my door asleep. She did wake up and talked to me. She fainted after she threw up and stood up. Will, please save her."

Will "I've got this. You need to step out."

Antonio felt helpless.

April "Antonio, you're still Sylvie's emergency contact. Should I get Kyle."

Antonio "no, do not let him anywhere near her. I mean it April. He needs to stay away or I might lose it. And he'll need to be in the ER himself."

April "ok. I need you to sign some papers."

Antonio nodded. He texted Kim, letting her know what happened.

He stood outside the room for what it felt like an eternity.

Kim ran in with Jay. "Antonio."

Will walked out "she is going to be ok. She drank a lot. Too much. We are giving her iv fluids. But you can go see her. She's awake now."

Kyle walked into the ER. Antonio wanted to lay him out. But Kim put her hands on his shoulders.

Kim "I've got this. Brett needs you."

Kim walked up to Kyle and slapped him. "You stay the hell away from Sylvie. You hurt her so much. Go near her and I'll arrest you personally."

Will "Kyle, you can't be here. Antonio is her ER contact. I don't know what happened with you. But go back to your office. Or you'll be escorted out of the building." Brett was his friend and he hated seeing her like this. Plus he knew Antonio. Kyle was safer in his office. Hell he'd be safer if he went home.

Antonio "hey, you scared the hell out of me."

Sylvie "can you just hold me?" She scooted over. He put his arm underneath her neck. She laid her head on his chest. "I'm sorry I scared you."

Antonio "it's ok." He kissed her head. "But don't do it again. If you need help, call me. I love you and I'll will be there for you."

Sylvie "I love you too."

Antonio "when you get released, you're coming home with me. At least until you're better. Just close your eyes and we'll talk later. Quick question, why am I still your emergency contact?"

Sylvie "I knew you would be there for me no matter what. I trust you." Sylvie drifted off to sleep.

Jay "Antonio has a sweet side. They look so adorable together. Maybe I should take a picture."

Antonio "Jay if you take that pic. You'll be in the room next to you, with your jaw wired shut."

Kim slapped Jay on the back of his head.

Jay "Burgess, what the hell."

Kim "Dawson is my partner. Right now he can't hit you. But I can do it for him."

Antonio chuckled "thanks partner."

Kim "I'll always have your back."

[carebear102279]

TRUST

Walking out of Kyle's office, breaking down as soon as Sylvie turned down the hallway. Another relationship where her boyfriend stated his job was more important than her. It always seemed to be the story of her life.

Antonio was walking through the hallway when he saw Sylvie crying. It broke him to see her like this. Saying nothing he took her in his arms and held her while she cried.

Antonio was rubbing her back say "I'm here baby, whatever you need I'm here."

Sylvie "Kyle just broke up with me, cause of his job. Basically he couldn't do his job if he was with me. Antonio is there something wrong with me? Losing men over their jobs? And no you can't go and kick Kyle's ass."

Antonio "you know me so well. There isn't anything wrong with you. Don't ever think that."

Sylvie slid to the floor, Antonio still had her in his arms. As he sat down next to her.

Sylvie "I miss gabby so much. I could always confide in her. She was my best friend. I really could use her shoulder right now."

Antonio "I miss her too. She's my baby sister and I can't just go and see her. I know I'm not gabby, but my shoulder is always available. I mean as a friend."

Sylvie "you know I'm here for you too. You need help with your kids, I'm here."

Antonio "thanks. I know the kids miss you. Eva is seeing a therapist. She's not talking to her mom. Gabby isn't around anymore. Diego misses you. Hell I miss you."

Sylvie "you know it's going to take time for Eva to heal. If she needs a female to talk to call me. I'll be there."

Antonio had tears in his eyes "I really failed my precious baby girl."

Sylvie "hey, Antonio....listen you're not superman. You're human and mistakes are a given. But that doesn't make you any less of a father or a man. You love your kids. And they know that."

Antonio "Brett, you were the best thing to happen to me. I'm sorry I fucked everything up. I'm sorry I hurt you."

Sylvie "I'm sorry I hurt you too."

Antonio "are you hungry?"

Sylvie "yes. A little bit."

Antonio "I just need to call the kids, so they can order takeout."

Sylvie "how about we pick up some takeout and that way your kids can spend time with you."

Antonio "ok. How about pizza?"

Sylvie "how about pizza and Chinese?"

Antonio chuckled "ok you order Chinese and I'll order the pizza. Then I'll call the kids."

Sylvie "sounds good."

Needless to say the kids were surprised that Sylvie came home with their dad. They ate and watched a movie. The girls won the movie choice. So of course it was chick flick.

Diego "do we seriously have to watch Mama Mia?"

Eva "oh shut up deigo."

Diego "you shut up."

Eva " no I told you to shut up first."

Diego "seriously Eva you...."

Antonio "both of you shut up. NOW!"

Settling in for the night. Sylvie sat curled up next to Antonio. Who knows what the future may bring. Time will tell.

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS❤❤

Riding in the ambo, Emily and Sylvie drove in silence.

Sylvie "ok foster what is on your mind?"

Emily "I'm going to ask you something, but I don't want you to get mad or upset."

Sylvie "ok, out with it."

Emily "you had a good thing going with Kyle. He is such a sweet and kind man. Why would you throw a sure thing away and go back to your ex? I don't know Antonio personally. But by what I've heard, I don't get it."

Sylvie let out a frustrated sigh "one thing I'm tired of is people thinking they know Antonio, by only what they have heard and told by others. They just assume, without getting to know him."

Emily "look Brett, I'm sorry to bring it up. So I'll just drop it."

Sylvie "Antonio is the kindest person I've ever known. He appears to be a bad ass. That's because he's good at his job. He doesn't bring his job home or at least tries not to. I love him so much. I don't expect people to understand. But I don't care what people think."

Arriving at 51 at the end of their shift. Everyone was going to Molly's for a party.

Emily "see you at Molly's."

Arriving at home. Sylvie was in the shower. She felt arms wrap around her.

Sylvie "hey Antonio."

Antonio "ok, what's wrong?"

Sylvie "my ambo partner is questioning our relationship. I'm tired of people doubting our love. Because I do love you. I love our family. I love our kids. I love our expanding family. I love my amazing husband. I shouldn't have to deal with people who doubt us."

Antonio "look at me Sylvie Dawson. I love you. I love us. I love our kids and I can't wait to meet this little one. We will tell everyone tonight at the party. That we are married and we are having a baby. To hell with what everyone else thinks. Nothing else matters, but us. Plus there will be a surprise at Molly's and I know how much you like surprises. Now let's get dressed."

Arriving at Molly's. The Dawson's walked in to a party that Kim helped Antonio plan. He wanted people to realize that their relationship is real. Plus he had a secret weapon in their corner. HIS baby sister was home for the party.

Antonio "remember the surprise I was telling you about? Well here it is."

Gabby "hey Brett or should I say Dawson now."

Sylvie hugged gabby "I've missed you so much. I've needed you to lean on."

Gabby "I'm here now. For at least a few weeks. You are good for my brother. You two are good for each other. To hell with those who doubt you. Now let's go share your exciting news. Anyone has a problem with it, they are going to have to answer to me."

Gabby appeared before everyone "yes I'm back. But only for a few weeks. But I'm back to show my support for my amazing brother and his amazing wife. So it is my honor to introduce Antonio and Sylvie Dawson."

Silence was present inside of Molly's.

Antonio "yes we are married. Only my sister and my partner Kim knew. Both have been so supportive. Sylvie and I are also expecting a baby. So let's celebrate a new beginning. A reason to let go of the past and moving on to an exciting future."

Antonio looked at Sylvie "I love you so much. Thank you for loving me."

Sylvie "I love you too. You are my everything."

A NEW LEASE ON LIFE PART

(I just realized my whole stories aren't posting, so sorry here's the rest of A NEW LEASE ON LIFE.)

Gabby "ok."

Antonio "promise me you're not going to go all gabby Dawson on this news."

Gabby "for fuck sake just tell me."

Sylvie "I'm pregnant with twins. Oh as you guessed you're brother is the father."

Antonio "so you're going to be una tia again. We are still figuring out us."

Gabby "really!! I'm so happy for both of you. Ok I love you both, but I have to go. Tell everyone I said hi."

Sylvie "ok. Love you too."

Antonio "love you too, sis."

The video chat ended.

Sylvie "I miss gabby so much."

Antonio "I miss her too. Come here."

He pulled her in for a hug. Wishing gabby wasn't so far away. But they both knew gabby was were she needed to be.

Sylvie was 6 months pregnant when she was put on office duty at 51. It wasn't the same as being on ambo. But she still got to be with her firehouse family.

Antonio was doing good. Still clean after the day he pushed Eva's attacker through a wall. He was going to NA and going to counseling. He was back at intelligence, a place where he felt like his old self. As close to it he could be.

Antonio arrived at 51 to pick up Sylvie. It was ultrasound day, to find out the gender of their twins. Hopefully the babies cooperate, because they haven't so far.

Antonio "ready to go Sylvie?"

Sylvie "yes."

Arriving at med, they were led to a patient's room. Dr Halstead arrived to perform the ultrasound. He was able to fit Sylvie into his schedule.

Will "ok you two. Are you ready to see your babies?"

Antonio "yes."

Sylvie nodded and grabbed Antonio's hand.

Will "ok. Well your twins appear to be healthy. Now do you want to know the genders of the twins?"

Sylvie "yes we do."

Antonio "like she said."

Will "smart man." Will chuckled.

Will "well you are having a girl and a boy. One of each. Congratulations to both of you." Will handed them the pictures of the ultrasound. "Just remember to keep your appointment with your ob, Sylvie. Again congrats."

Sylvie and Antonio were in the room by themselves. Absorbing the news of their twins. They were still trying to figure out them as a couple.

Sylvie "Antonio?"

Antonio "what is it?"

Sylvie "I want us. I love you."

Antonio looked at this amazing woman. Who was carrying their babies. And she loved him. In spite of the chaos that was his life. Antonio took a chance and leaned in and kissed her. "I love you too. More than you realize. Now will you move in with me? Because I've bought a house that will fit our growing family."

Sylvie "ok. I'll move in with you. We have a nursery to get ready."

While leaving the hospital, they ran into Kyle. Which definitely was awkward. But it was bound to happen sometimes.

Kyle "Sylvie and Antonio, good to see you. Hope all is going well in your pregnancy, Sylvie."

Sylvie "everything is going good. Antonio and are good. We are moving in together."

Kyle "good for both of you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to work."

Antonio "well that wasn't awkward at all. He still cares about you."

Sylvie put his hands on his face "hey, you have nothing to worry about. I am completely in love with you. You are the love of my life. It just took our babies to knock some sense into us. I love you Antonio Dawson. If I have to spend the rest of my life showing you, each and everyday. I will do that for you. For us and all 4 of our kids."

Antonio put his hands on her pregnant belly. And kissed her gently. "I love you so much. Let's go home."

Sylvie was almost 8 months pregnant, standing in the nursery. Their babies names were above each crib. She heard the front door open. Rubbing her belly, she spoke softly to her twins "guess what your daddy is home."

Antonio came into the nursery. Holding a dozen roses and a little box. He got down on one knee "you are the best thing to happen to me. You love my kids like they were your own. Will you become my wife? Will you marry me Sylvie Brett?"

Sylvie "yes, but under one condition we get married before the babies are born. Which could be soon, twins are rarely carried to term."

Antonio smiled "of course, I'll make some calls. How about tomorrow?"

Sylvie "sounds good."

Antonio made sure his kids where there. He flew her parents in. Hank picked them up from the airport. Sylvie's firehouse family would be there. Along with intelligence and of course Trudy. Plus some of med came. Sylvie walked through the courthouse doors. She saw her parents and everyone else.

Sylvie "you did all this Antonio? For me?"

Antonio "of course. I'd do anything for you."

Sylvie and Antonio were married in front of their family and friends. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Now was time to wait for the birth of their twins.

Sylvie was 2 & 1/2 weeks to her due date. Antonio was at work and Sylvie was resting on the couch with her feet up. She was really uncomfortable today. The doorbell rang. Since Antonio insisted the door locked. It took Sylvie awhile to get up.

Sylvie "I'm coming." Opening the door there stood Laura Dawson. "Hi Laura, what brings you here. Antonio is at work today. Please come in."

Laura "so when will Antonio be home?"

Sylvie had her hands on her very pregnant belly "I'm not sure. But I can give him a call. He has his phone on at all times. Jay told me he jumps every time the phone rings."

Laura paused "so how are you feeling?"

Sylvie "everything hurts today. I'm ready to have these twins. So hopefully soon." Sylvie grabbed the couch arm, gripping it hard. "Holy shit, this hurts."

Laura "are you in labor?"

Sylvie breathed slowly "yes, I think so."

Laura "well I'm not leaving you here. Where's your bag?"

Sylvie "closet.....by...... the......ummmm..... door."

Laura "we'll call Antonio on the hospital."

Laura helped his ex husband's new wife Sylvie to her car. Something she never thought she'd be doing.

On the way to med, Sylvie called Antonio "Antonio I'm in labor and on the way to the hospital."

Antonio "ok, please tell me your not driving."

Sylvie "no, but you might think differently once you find out who."

Antonio "oh hell, who?"

Sylvie "Laura stopped over to talk to you."

Sylvie put the phone on speaker. Antonio was swearing in Spanish.

Laura "ok Antonio calm down. I wasn't going to leave Sylvie with her in labor. Now just get your ass to the hospital. You can yell at me later, but not now."

Arriving at med Laura helped Sylvie into the emergency room. Laura "hey, I need a doctor now!!"

Dr Rhodes "oh Sylvie." He put Sylvie into a wheel chair. Paging Sylvie's doctor, bringing her up to the ob floor.

Sylvie looked at Laura "thank you."

Laura "your welcome. I'll wait for Antonio."

Dr Rhodes helped Sylvie get to her room. Hooking her up to monitors.

Antonio ran into the ER, running into Laura "where's Sylvie Laura?"

Laura "Dr Rhodes brought her up to delivery. Go, your wife needs you."

Antonio "thank you Laura." His ex wife could surprise the hell out of him every once in a while.

Laura "welcome. I'll call the kids and let them know."

Antonio arrived in Sylvie's room "hey baby."

Sylvie was breathing through a contraction "hey."

Sylvie and Antonio welcome there beautiful healthy twins into the world a girl they named after his mom, little baby Camilla Gabriella Dawson. They were going to call her Camie. There little boy they chose the name Justin Henry. Of course with Hank's blessing. Their extended family came to meet the new babies. Eva and Diego got to meet their new brother and sister. Camilla cried when she heard her new grandaugher's. Gabby met her new niece and nephew over video chat.

Only Antonio and Sylvie were left in the room. Sylvie was holding Camilla and Antonio was holding Justin.

Antonio kissed his wife "thank you for making me a dad again. I love you so much."

Sylvie "thank you for making me a mommy. I love you so much Antonio. I just gave birth to twins naturally by the way. So please come her and give me a kiss.

Antonio chuckled, leaning in and kissing his wife "I'm so proud of you baby. I love you Sylvie Dawson."

Sylvie "I love you to Antonio Dawson."

My Way Only

Sylvie was sitting at a table at Molly's, relaxing for the day. It was a long day. The tension in the firehouse, dealing with Gorsch. Low and behold he sat down across from Sylvie.

Sylvie "can I help you?"

Gorsch "have dinner with me."

Sylvie "I'm sorry but......."

Gorsch interrupted her "I can make your career soar. You'll go places with me behind you. I don't take no for an answer. Meaning, if you refuse........."

Sylvie "so basically you're telling me you can make or break my career. I will not let you have that control over me. Besides I have a ........"

Gorsch "a boyfriend, is that what you were going to say. I've never seen or even heard of this boyfriend."

Antonio saw and heard what that ass was doing to Sylvie. It made him angry that this man was treating her like that. They weren't a couple anymore, but he couldn't just stand by and let him treat Sylvie that way. He walked up to the table.

He kissed Sylvie's cheek "sorry I'm late babe. Working on a big case."

Sylvie "it's ok. I'm glad your here."

Antonio put his hand out "hi I'm detective Antonio Dawson. I'm Sylvie's boyfriend."

Gorsch "dawson, you must be related to Gabriella Dawson."

Antonio really hated the arrogance this guy had "gabby is my sister."

Gorsch "so how serious is your relationship?"

Sylvie "well you tell me." She pulled Antonio in for a kiss.

Antonio "ready to go home?"

Gorsch "you two live together?"

Sylvie "sure. You have a problem with it."

Gorsch "no but I have a problem with being lied to. Sylvie, I always get what I want. I want you. I'll be watching you. You better watch your back."

Antonio "are you threatening her? Trust me you don't want to cross me or the rest of the intelligence department."

Sylvie "thank you. I didn't mean to drag you into this. Gorsch is making 51 a miserable place to be. This is going to make things worse. Now we are suppose to be living together. Antonio I don't think that is a good idea."

Antonio "we can just make it temporary. I'll find some dirt on him. A guy like him has to have skeletons in the closet."

Sylvie saw Gorsch walk out the door "he has been making life miserable at 51. The idea of that man wanting to go out with me and not taking no for an answer makes my skin crawl. Antonio, he could end my career."

Antonio took Sylvie's "I promise not to let that happen."

Sylvie "if gabby was here than she would put him in his place."

Antonio "I miss gabby too." Antonio had tears in his eyes.

Sylvie put her hand on his face "hey Antonio, ssshhhh I'm here."

Antonio "I know. Did you drive here?"

Sylvie "no I got a ride with Cruz and Chloe. I was going to take a cab home."

Antonio "let me drive you home."

At Sylvie's apartment Sylvie made a snack.There was a knock at the door. Answering it there stood Gorsch.

Sylvie "what are you doing here? Are you stalking me?"

Gorsch "I thought you live with detective Dawson. I know this isn't his apartment."

Antonio came to the door just wearing his boxers. He heard Gorsch and wanted to put him in his place. What better than making him think something just happened.

Antonio "actually we just stopped by to get some things my girlfriend left behind."

Sylvie "umm yes. I'll go finish packing the last of my things."

With Sylvie gone Antonio spoke "listen, I have resources all the way to the states Attorney's office. You stay the hell away from Sylvie or else."

Gorsch "or else what?"

Antonio "try anything and you'll find out. You may think you can bully your way at 51. But you will not hurt the woman I love. Do I make myself clear? You have anything you're hiding, trust me I'll find it. Now get out."

Cruz and Chloe heard the whole thing. They had just arrived home. Cruz " you heard him, get out."

Gorsch "I find it ironic Joe you're sticking up for your ex girlfriend." Gorsch left.

Antonio got dressed and sat down on the couch next to Sylvie. Sylvie had already filled Cruz in on what was going on.

Sylvie "I just don't know what to do."

Cruz " I think boden should know. But in the mean time what are you going to do?"

Sylvie "I guess I can stay at Antonio's temporarily, until Gorsch gets the message."

Sylvie grabbed her suitcases and bags that Chloe helped with.

Cruz "Antonio, keep her safe. Find a way to bring him down." The girls were out of earshot "you really do love her, Antonio."

Antonio "yes I do. But......."

Cruz "no buts Antonio. Fight for her. I know she loves you. Even if she won't say it. She looks at you in a way she never ever looked at me."

Sylvie had been living at Antonio's for about a week. Gorsch was still relentless. Reigning his terror on 51. Boden got wind of his latest stunt at 51. He called Sylvie into his office, along with severide and Casey. He made sure the door was locked and the blinds drawn.

Boden "Sylvie why didn't you tell me what was going on?"

Sylvie "chief, you're already stressed out. I didn't want to add to it."

Boden "this is something that needs to be dealt with. You are part of the 51 family."

Severide "agreed, Brett he crossed a line."

Casey "brett, we are here for you. I'm sure with your history, living with Antonio isn't easy for you."

Sylvie "I'm ok living with Antonio. He is..."

A knock at the door. Casey let Antonio in. Antonio had concern on his face.

Sylvie "what is it Antonio?"

Antonio "I've tried digging up dirt on Gorsch. All I've found is he had a complaint filed against him, but it was dropped. And everything disappeared."

Casey "any guess on who erased it?"

Boden " I have a guess. But these walls have ears."

There was a pounding on the door. Severide opened it. There stood that arrogant prick.

Gorsch "I thought I said I wanted an open door policy. Detective Dawson, see your girlfriend when she has off."

Antonio "actually I'm here on official business."

Gorsch "care to share?"

Antonio "nope. This police matter is private and doesn't concern you. You may think you can control everything at 51. But intelligence is way out of your league. You're just lucky my sister isn't at 51 anymore."

Everyone snickered, except Gorsch.

Gorsch "is something funny? Captain Casey?"

Matt "nope."

Sylvie "let me walk you out Antonio."

Gorsch had his eyes on the both of them.

Antonio "look Sylvie, I promise to get to the bottom of this." He had his hands on her shoulders. "He crosses the line, call me right away."

Sylvie "ok." She sighed "he's watching us."

Antonio "well let's give him something to watch." He cradled her face in his hands. Kissing her gently.

Antonio was almost to his car "Sylvie, see you at home."

Sylvie "I'll see you later at home baby. Plus the kids are at your mom's tonight."

Antonio had that grin on his face. "Later babe."

Antonio was at his desk at work. His frustration was at a boiling point. He hated what this was doing to Sylvie. He loved her. But he didn't want to pressure her into anything. He slammed the file he had started on Gorsch.

Voight "hey Dawson. You can ask for help from the rest of us."

Antonio "this guy is just a cocky prick. But I can't find anything on him."

Voight "everyone has a past. Keep digging and keep us informed."

Running his hands through his hair, Antonio sighed.

Sylvie was in the locker room getting ready to leave for the day. In walked Gorsch. Sylvie never could seem to shake him.

Gorsch "so how long do you think you can keep this charade up?"

Sylvie "I'm just going to leave. So excuse me. But my shift is done."

He had a hold of her arm. His fingers were digging into her skin. "I'll let you leave when I am ready. You work for me."

Sylvie "I work for the city of Chicago." Sylvie tried to remove his hand off of her. In doing so it angered him. He slapped her hard. Splitting her lip and bruising her nose. It was bleeding.

Gorsch quickly left, leaving Sylvie standing there. Holding a towel to her nose. She arrived at district 21.

Trudy "oh my God, what happened?"

Sylvie "I need to see Antonio."

Walking up there, Trudy "Gorsch did this. Randall has told me what an ass he has been."

Sylvie "yeah he did this."

Trudy went to talk to Hank. Hank and Adam went to arrest Gorsch. Sylvie waited for Antonio. Trudy hadn't left her side.

Antonio arrived "oh my God Sylvie. Are you ok? Let's get you to med."

Dr Halsted had to put a couple of stiches on her lip. He set her nose and taped it.

Antonio "Hank texted. Gorsch will not be a problem. In fact he's already been fired. So I guess that means you'll want to move home." He had a sadness in his voice. God he loved this woman.

Sylvie "Antonio I am home when I'm with you. What I'm trying to say is that I ummm, I love you Antonio Dawson."

Antonio kissed her forehead. "I love you too, Sylvie Brett. Let's go home."

NEW LEASE ON LIFE

Sylvie was dating Kyle for almost a month. She thought she'd moved on from Antonio. But looking down at the positive pregnancy test in her bathroom, she had a different answer. She had called in sick. Her roommates thought she had the flu. But how the hell was she supposed to move forward , when she was always pulled back towards Antonio. Sylvie knew it was Antonio's baby, since her and Kyle haven't slept together. She knew what Antonio was going through, with what happened to Eva. Plus his pill addiction. She had called Natalie to have her run her pregnancy test. Sylvie had put the pregnancy test and box in her bag. The last thing she needed her roommates finding it. Then she was off to med.

Waiting for her blood work to come back. She was wondering how she was going to tell Kyle. She really liked him, but now she was unsure of how Kyle was going to react. She didn't want to hurt him, that was the last thing she wanted to do.

Natalie came back to the room. Laptop in hand. Natalie shut the door and sat down in front of Sylvie. "Your test results have come back. Sylvie, you're definitely pregnant. Do you have any idea of when you might have gotten pregnant?"

Sylvie "the last time I slept with someone was around 2 months ago."

Natalie "I know this is a sensitive topic. But do you know who the father is?"

Sylvie nodded her head "yes, it's Antonio. I don't want to hurt Kyle."

Natalie knew Sylvie was seeing chaplain Kyle. She took Sylvie's hand, speaking mother to mother "do you want to see your baby?"

Sylvie "yes."

Natalie performed the ultrasound. Sylvie heard her babies heartbeat. "There's your baby. Sylvie you're having twins, because there's your other baby."

Sylvie "twins? How are they?"

Natalie printed some pictures, handing them to Sylvie "your babies are perfect. Almost 8 weeks."

Sylvie stood outside Kyle's door, then she knocked.

Kyle "hi Sylvie." He greeted her with a hug.

Sylvie "we need to talk Kyle."

Kyle shut the door and sat down next to Sylvie on the couch.

Kyle "ok. What's wrong?"

Sylvie "the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you Kyle. You are amazing and you make me happy."

Kyle "do you want to end things?"

Sylvie started crying "no Kyle. That's not what I want at all. Do you remember me talking about my ex Antonio Dawson?"

Kyle "yes."

Sylvie "well I just came from an appointment with Dr Manning. Kyle I'm pregnant."

Kyle "and Antonio Dawson is the father. Have you told him?"

Sylvie "no not yet. He's a mess right now. But I can't keep this from him."

Kyle "I'm here for you and whatever you decide. I'll support your decision." Kyle wanted to tell her that he was falling in love with her. But he knew he couldn't add any extra stress on her.

Walking out of Kyle's office, Sylvie looked back. Tears were flowing down her cheeks. "I'm so sorry Kyle."

Standing outside Antonio's door, Sylvie took a deep breath. She knew the kids were staying at Laura's. But how Antonio was going to react, well it could be anyone's guess. She knocked on the door, nervously waiting.

Antonio opened the door "Sylvie." He couldn't believe his ex was standing there. "Come in, can I get you a drink?"

Sylvie "just water."

Antonio handed her a glass of water "ok what brings you here? Not that I don't enjoy seeing you. But something is bothering you. Talk to me."

Antonio saw the tears in her big beautiful blue eyes. He took her hands "hey, ssshhh. It'll be ok."

Sylvie "I know you're going through a lot right now. I know you know that I've been dating chaplain kyle for about a month. But I haven't slepted with him. So I'm going to come right out and say it. Antonio, I'm almost 2 months pregnant with twins. I'm telling you this because the babies are yours. Do you want to see the ultrasound pictures?"

Antonio looked at Sylvie. Trying to process this news. His life was really messed up right now. His kids were with Laura. Considering how fucked up his life has been. He wouldn't have blamed Sylvie to keep this from him. But she didn't, she's not Laura. This was positive news, something he needed in his life. A new lease on life.

Sylvie place the ultrasound pictures in his hands. "Antonio, I want to give our babies the best life possible. That's a life with their mommy and daddy both in their lives. Also there's something else I need to tell you."

Antonio was looking at his twins "ok what?" Twins were a shock. He was going to be a dad again.

Sylvie "I was adopted as a baby. I have no clue who my biological parents are. I don't know why they didn't want me. My parents, my adoptive parents are wonderful. Having us as parents, together is so important to me. I'm not saying that we should get back together, like right away. But I want to do this together, I just hope you feel the same way. Kyle and I aren't together anymore. I've told him about my pregnancy, that you're the father. I know things haven't been easy right now for you. But I'm there for you. Every step of the way, whatever comes our way."

Antonio "ok. We'll take this one step at a time. But how are you feeling?"

Sylvie "like I have the flu all the time. But I'll be ok."

Antonio pulled Sylvie into his arms. Kissing her head. "Are you hungry?"

Sylvie "yes."

Antonio "ok, what are hungry for? Or what can you eat?"

Sylvie "can we order soup for delivery?"

Antonio "ok." Antonio placed the order. Life was going to change, definitely in a good way. He held her close. Anticipating the future. He didn't know if the future had both of them together as a couple. But one thing he knew was they were going to be parents.

The news of the twins was received with different reactions. Of course Laura was livid. Emily didn't like how this hurt Kyle. But there was excitement with intelligence and 51. They all were a family.

On a video call Antonio and Sylvie told gabby about the twins.

Antonio "hey sis."

Sylvie "hi gabby."

Gabby "hi to both of you. So are the two of you back together again?"

Sylvie "not exactly. The reason why we are talking to you is that we have some news."

The Ex

It was a long hard day at 51. Sylvie and gabby lost a four year old patient. Who was hit by a car. So gabby and sylvie were at molly's trying to forget the day. Sylvie "it never gets easier." Gabby "no, but let's raise our glasses to that sweet baby girl." Gabby "don't look now." Sylvie "what?" Looking she saw her ex fiance Harrison walk in. "What the hell is that asshole doing here!" Harrison "Sylvie, I was in Chicago on business. So I thought I'd drop in and say hi." Sylvie "I haven't heard from you in years. So what is it that you want? Because......" Harrison cut sylvie off "seriously do you have to be a bitch about it!!" Sylvie "I can be a bitch if I want to, especially after the day I've had. So......" Harrison "are you seriously going to whine and bitch about your day! No one wants to listen to it....." Harrison felt a tap on his shoulder. Antonio "no man calls sylvie that name." Harrison "what's it to you?" Antonio looked at sylvie, who was in tears. Gabby had texted him about their day. All he wanted to do is hold his girlfriend close. Now her ex was making her cry. Antonio "because sylvie is my girlfriend and no one talk to my girl that way." He hauled off and punched him I'm the face. Knocking him to the floor. Harrison "I'm going to call the police." Antonio took out his badge "well the police are already here. I'm sure there are witnesses to you verbally abusing sylvie." Jay and Kevin came up to them "is this man bothering you sylvie?" Sylvie "show him the door." Kevin "ok, you heard the lady." Antonio took sylvie in his arms "I'm sorry you had such a tough day. Also I'm sorry for losing my temper." Sylvie "antonio, you never have to apologize for protecting those you love. It's one of the many reasons I love you." Antonio kissed sylvie softly, "I love you too. May I buy you a drink?" Sylvie "yes you may."

[carebear102279]

Truth or Dare

It was a girls night at molly's. Which meant the girls were going to get drunk. So they decided to play truth or dare. It was sylvie's turn to play. Stella "ok brett, truth or dare?" Sylvie "dare." Stella "I dare you to kiss the next man to walk through the door on the lips." Everyone was waiting for the door opened, in walked antonio dawson. Sylvie and antonio were on and off again. It seemed like a pattern for them. Stella "remember you picked dare." Sylvie walked pass cruz and otis, heading straight for her dare. She push antonio against the wall, the breath was knocked right out of him. She kissed him passionately, running her hand through his hair. He grabbed her ass with his hand. Sylvie broke the kiss "you were my dare. So I need to get back to the girls to continue our game. I'm glad it was you who walked through the door." She kissed him on the cheek. She whispered "later baby." Sylvie joined her table. A bunch of giggles erupted from their table. Antonio stood there in shock. He ran his tongue on his lips, touching his lips with his finger. He could still taste sylvie in his mouth. He sat by matt. Otis brought him a beer. Antonio "ok casey, what the hell was that." Casey smiled "girls night and drinking. They're playing truth or dare. Sylvie was dared to kiss the next man to walk through the door." Antonio "aaahhhh, that makes sense." Casey "but I don't hear you complaining." Antonio "Sylvie brett." Matt knew antonio really cared about sylvie. Those two were so stubborn when it came to their feelings. Antonio brought over one of sylvie's drinks. "So ladies are you having fun?" Gabby "of course we are." Gabby "ok brett your turn again. Truth or dare?" Sylvie "ummm, truth this time." She took a drink. Gabby "are you in love with my brother?" Sylvie spit out her drink, nearly choking at the same time. Antonio was patting her back. Sylvie "really gabby." Stella "we're waiting brett. Tick tock." Antonio looked at sylvie. She looked at him. Talking about their feelings was something that they just didn't do. Sylvie got up and walked out the door. Antonio "really gabby. Good one. Stay here, I'll go find her." Antonio found sylvie sitting out on the sidewalk. He sat by her, putting his arm around her. He felt her shiver, so he put his leather jacket on her. Sylvie "I'm sorry I didn't answer." Antonio "why didn't you answer?" Sylvie "I don't know. Maybe I do know, but I'm afraid of saying it." Antonio "saying what? Talk to me." Sylvie "you are the most amazing man that I've ever known. You are devoted to your job. You love your kids and you are a wonderful father. You act tough, but I know when it comes to those you care about you're are very loving. I know us, we've been all over the map. I think we both have been hurt by those we were with. With you, it's your ex wife laura. With me, it's my ex fiance Harrison. I've have had relationships since harrison. But when I'm with you, it's hard to let you know how I feel." Antonio "and how do you feel?" Sylvie "I am completely and hopelessly in love with you Antonio Dawson. Which scares me, because I don't want to get hurt. And the last thing I want to do is hurt you." Antonio "Sylvie, you are the most amazing and beautiful woman. You are great with my kids. Plus they love you. You are devoted to your job. You are everything to me. I'm so in love with you sylvie brett. I thought I had my chance at love. When my marriage ended. I felt like I didn't deserve happiness. But you never gave up on me. I love you. I love you. I love you." He planted gentle kisses on her lips. Both of them looking at each other. Antonio "so, should we go back in?" Sylvie "no chance in hell." They left to enjoy the rest of their night. It ended with them being in sylvie's bed.

Splash

The heatwave in Chicago was in it's second week. Ambo 61 only seemed to pick up heat related cases. Heat strokes, dehydration, heat exhaustion. Of course people will do anything to help cool down in the heat. So firehouse 51 decided it would be fun to have a water balloon fight. It was squad 3 versus truck 81. Gabby was on squad 3's team, because it would be fun to nail casey. Sylvie was on truck 81's team. Otis "brett, you go that way & I'll go the other way." Sylvie "got it." Gabby got nailed from both of them. "Oh both of you are dead." Sylvie giggled "you will have to catch me first." Sylvie darted out of gabby's line of sight. Gabby threw the water balloon in sylvie's direction. But instead of hitting brett, it nailed her brother. Who had stopped to check on his girlfriend. Gabby "oh shit!" She knew what was coming. Antonio "you better run sis, because you're dead." Sylvie saw antonio, ran behind him so he could protect her. Her arms were wrapped around his stomach. Since he didn't have his shirt on, so her hands were on his bare stomach. Sylvie "protect me, please." Antonio "ok, but what is this all about?" Sylvie "I'm on truck 81's team, gabby is on squad 3's team. Water balloon fight. Casey's and severide's idea." He turned around and pulled sylvie into a hug. "Hi, it's good to see you. I brought you lunch. But I don't think that is going to happen. But seeing you all wet, well...." Sylvie's hair was down, her blonde curly hair was wet and plastered to her shirt. Antonio and sylvie weren't aware of what was going on around them. Gabby, kelly and capp drenched the couple with buckets of water. Antonio "holy crap." Sylvie "shit, that's cold." Gabby "well bro, if you would pay more attention to your surroundings than your girlfriend. Maybe you could have stopped it." Antonio smiled at his sister "Well I do enjoy seeing my girlfriend soaking wet." Gabby "yuck, is that all you think about. Seriously bro, do you have to paint a mental picture in my mind." Antonio "yep, now I'd adviseyou to start running. Because you know what is about to happen." Cruz thought casey was coming out the door. So he threw a water balloon in that direction. But instead he nailed boden. The whole bay was silent. Cruz "oh my god, I'm so dead." Boden "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!! THIS IS A PLACE OF BUSINESS. SO I'D ADVISE YOU ALL TO CLEAN UP THIS MESS. THOSE WHO ARE SOAKED, GET YOUR CLOTHES CHANGED OR DRIED. NOW MOVE!!! CASEY AND SEVERIDE, MY OFFICE NOW!!" Sylvie threw hers and antonio's clothes in the dryer. Sitting in the locker room. Sylvie has one of antonio's tshirt's on. Antonio had a pair of sweats on. Antonio "good thing you had some of my clothes in your locker. But it also explains why I'm missing some clothes. Sylvie, care to explain yourself?" Sylvie "well, I....your clothes are comfortable. Plus I would like to see you denying you don't love seeing me in your clothes." Sylvie saw antonio shifting his position on the bench. "I thought so antonio." Antonio looked into sylvie's locker, he saw the bag from victoria secrets. "So babe, what's in here?" Sylvie shut her locker "no peaking, it's a surprise for later." Antonio "can't I peak?" Sylvie "you peak, I'll give this to your sister." Gabby came carrying a basket of clothes in the locker room. "Ok, your clothes are dry. I draw the line folding antonio's underwear." Sylvie "ah thanks gabs. But how do you know that I wasn't wearing those boxers." Antonio and sylvie burst out laughing at gabby's expense. "Just get dressed both of you. We have an hour left of shift sylvie." Sylvie layed her head on antonio's chest "well you heard what mom said. Gabby can be so bossy." Antonio "yep, she's always been like that." He took her face into his hands, kissing her gently. "I love you sylvie brett." Sylvie returned his kiss "I love you antonio dawson."

heat wave

It was a hot, humid and sticky summer day. The heatwave was creating chaos throughout chicago. With the humidity, the heat index was at 105°farenheit. Massive power outages throughout the city. Chicago med was running on a backup generator. Intelligence was back to old school, with no computers working. Firehouse 51 was without power too. The firetrucks had condensation on them. They were parked outside. The big garage doors were open, to help circulate air. The were all hanging out in the garage area. The guys had their shirts off. The girls were able to wear bikini tops. Their shirts were tucked in their back pockets, in arms reach if there was a call. Sylvie "can it get any hotter?" She was trying to stay cool. "Seriously the guys don't have to wear anything on top. How is that fair? Tell me stella, how is that fair?" Stella "at least we get a good view. Has your man given you any update on the massive power outages throughout the city?" Sylvie "no, all I know intelligence doesn't have power either. They're going old school. It's fine for antonio, but the younger ones seem lost. He was hopefully bringing me some ice. If it hasn't melted yet." Antonio just arrived. Shirt off, jeans hung low on his waste. His boxers were peaking through. Stella "damn brett, you get to tap that. You're one lucky woman. So how is he?" Gabby "excuse me, sister right here." Sylvie "can I help it your brother happens to be hot." Stella "yeah dawson, your brother is definitely hot. He has that and that whole sexy bad boy thing going on." Antonio smiled "hey baby, the ice man cometh." Sylvie "thank you, your the best." Antonio "ok what's my sister's problem?" Sylvie "oh stella and I were just admiring her hot and sexy brother." Antonio pulled sylvie in his arms "so you think I'm hot and sexy." He said with a smart ass grin on his face Sylvie "well there's nothing wrong with your ego." Antonio "well you look incredibly sexy in your bikini top." Antonio took an ice cube and let it melt on her. "I remember how much you love ice melting all over......" Sylvie "An.....to.....nio." Gabby smacked antonio on the back of his head. Antonio hollered "ouch!! What the hell sis!!" Gabby "do you realize that you have an audience? No one wants to see this." Antonio "well gabs, don't look. Problem solved." Sylvie had her face buried into antonio's chest, trying to muffle her laughter. Gabby "Sylvie do you really think it's funny?" Sylvie "yep, ummm yes." Gabby "God you two are perfect for each other. Good thing our shift is now over." Antonio "you're done with your shift? Well let's go. A friend of mine who's not home, has a pool. Said we could use it. Do you have the rest of your bikini? Never mind it's not like you need it." Gabby "ugh, seriously. You two are disgusting." Sylvie "you still love us anyway gabby. See you next shift. But a dip in a pool sounds good right about now." Antonio and sylvie headed out. Herrmann "wait, did I hear something about a pool?" Gabby "sorry Herrmann we weren't invited." Herrmann "why wouldn't we be invited?" Stella "cause maybe they want some alone time." Herrmann "why would they want alone time.....?" Otis "I seriously wonder how clueless you can be. You have five kids, Herrmann." Herrmann "aahhh, now I....." Gabby "finish that sentence and I'll kill you." Sylvie was in the pool, swimming around antonio. Sylvie "you have any idea on how long this power outage is going to last?" Antonio "no, but we're alone. I can think of another way we can make our own electricity." Antonio kissed sylvie deeply. "I like the way you think detective. I love you." Antonio "I love you too." All of a sudden there was a big commotion. Then walked in were their co workers from the firehouse and pd. Antonio "well so much for being alone." Sylvie "well do you blame them. You work with a bunch of detectives. So we were going to be found out. We can pick this up later. Maybe in your air conditioned car?" Antonio "I love how you think. Well let's make the best out of this." Jay "did you think we would pass up on this, bro? It's hotter then hell."

Double Trouble

Sylvie was at firehouse 51, she was exhausted. She found out she was pregnant last week. She had told antonio, whom she recently got back together with. Only antonio knew, sylvie wanted to wait to tell everyone. But if she kept getting sick, they would have to tell people sooner. Her shift was almost over. She saw eva walk in, who looked utterly terrified. Sylvie "hey eva, are you ok?" Eva "no." Sylvie "ok, do you want me to get gabby?" Eva "no, I came to talk to you. Can we go somewhere private?" Sylvie led Eva to the bathroom. "Ok Eva, talk to me." Eva "I don't know what to do. I'm just so terrified..." She was crying. Sylvie "ok, eva calm down and talk to me." Eva "dad is going to kill me." Sylvie couldn't imagine eva ever doing something that would anger antonio. Antonio's kids were his whole world. "what happened?" Eva "I think I'm pregnant." Sylvie stood there shocked. Antonio was shocked when he found out she was pregnant. Antonio's reaction to his daughter, holy crap. "Ok eva, what do you mean you think? How late are you? What symptoms?" Eva "I'm very late." Sylvie "ok, eva how late?" Eva "two months late. Plus I throw up everyday. I'm feel sick to my stomach." Sylvie "ok. We're going to the hospital. I'll call Dr Halstead. But we are going to need to call your dad, so he can meet us there." Eva "do we have to call dad?" Sylvie "keeping this from your dad is not a good idea." Sylvie knew antonio well enough to know, keeping secrets weren't a good thing. Eva "ok, your right." Sylvie phoned antonio to meet them to the hospital. The car ride over to the hospital, sylvie had to tell eva what was going on. Sylvie "there's something I need to tell you. Because if you are pregnant, I have a feeling that your dad reaction. Well I don't know what his reaction will be. But this stays between us." Eva "ok, what?" Sylvie "last week I found out I was pregnant. The ultrasound showed that I was almost 3 months pregnant with twins. Your dad was shocked, but he's excited." Eva "wow, congratulations. But if I'm pregnant, dad is going to go balistic." Sylvie "We'll cross that bridge when we get there. But we're here, and there's your dad. Right on time, like always." Antonio greeted sylvie with a kiss "hi baby. How are you're feeling?" Sylvie "well your wonderful twins made me throw up today." Maggie led them to a private room. Took some blood from Eva. "Ok, I'll let Dr Halstead you're here. He'll come in after your test results come back." Sylvie "ok, tell Will we need a moment." After Maggie left. The room is quite. Antonio spoke first "ok first sylvie, I thought we were waiting to tell people. Also what the hell is going on?" Antonio noticed Eva was looking at the floor. "Eva, Sylvie what is going on? Someone better start talking." Sylvie "first antonio you need to sit down. Eva, you need to tell your dad why we're here. Antonio, you need to promise me your going to not get angry. I need you to be calm, while eva is telling you. Promise me Antonio Dawson." Antonio took a deep breath "ok I promise sylvie. Eva talk to me." Antonio knew sylvie well enough if she made him promise, it was something serious. Probably would make him pissed off. Eva looked at sylvie, she was terrified. Then she looked at her dad. "Dad, I think I might be pregnant. I'm so sorry daddy. I'm so sorry daddy." Antonio went and hugged his daughter close . "Ssshhhhh Eva, I'm here." Antonio looked at sylvie "thank you sylvie for being there for my daughter." Will walked in "hi eva, I'm Dr Halstead. I'm Jay's brother. Your test results are in. Eva, you're definitely pregnant. Do you have any idea how far along you might be?" Eva "I'm two months late. So I'm not sure." Will "We'll know more when we do your ultrasound." Will performed the ultrasound on eva. Sylvie was holding sylvie's hand. Antonio was trying to stay calm. "Ok Eva, it appears that you're almost 3 months pregnant. There's your baby, it appears it's healthy. So I'll let you get dressed, then I'll come back in to talk to you." Antonio sat down, his head in his hands. "My daughter is due 4 days after my girlfriend. How the hell does this happen?" Sylvie looked at antonio with the are you serious look. "Don't look at me like that! I know how the hell this happened. Who is the father eva dawson!" Sylvie put her arm around eva, who was crying "Antonio, no matter what you say or do. The fact that eva is pregnant isn't going to change. I know this news is upsetting, but Eva is going to need us. Getting angry isn't going to solve anything. So please just come here and give your daughter a hug. She's scared and needs her daddy. Plus don't forget, laura needs to be told." Antonio "oh God, I forgot about Laura. Holy crap she's going to go balistic. The fact that you're pregnant sylvie, we're going to be having twins. Eva is pregnant, due right around the time you're due." Antonio held his daughter close. Sylvie hugged eva too, "That's why we need to be there for eva. She needs our support." Antonio looked at sylvie. This amazing woman was the kindest person that he ever knew. Life was going to change for the the dawson family. The future was unknown. Once laura found out, she went balistic. Blaming antonio, since eva moved in with him. She also blamed sylvie for being a bad influence on her kids. Laura and antonio were in a heated argument. Eva and sylvie were out shopping. Laura "do you realize this is all your fault!" It wasn't a question. Antonio "Seriously laura, you're blaming me!" Laura "well maybe if you wouldn't spend so much time at work, and with your tramp of a girlfriend." Antonio "Laura, you're in my house. You will show some respect for my girlfriend. Or you can get the hell out!" Laura "do you know how tacky it looks, your daughter and your girlfriend pregnant at the same time." Antonio "I've moved on with my life. I've the most amazing woman in my life, whom I love. So we'll talk about our kids, that's it. Sylvie is off limits!" Sylvie and Eva came home to find diego sitting outside the door. Sylvie "Diego, what are you doing out here?" Diego "mom is here." Sylvie "aahhh, I get it. Diego can you help your sister carry stuff from the car. I'll go and see what is going on." Sylvie walked in the front door, yep antonio was pissed. Laura saw sylvie "this doesn't concern you, blondie." Sylvie let laura have it "first off you're going to shut up and listen to me. You're in our house, so you'll show some damn respect. Otherwise you can get the hell out. I will not tolerate any extra stress in this house. So stop blaming antonio for eva being pregnant! Things happen, laura. Like it or not, eva is going to have a baby, your grandchild. Do you seriously want to lose your grandchild and your daughter? Start acting like a supportive parent, instead of acting like a total bitch. So get the hell out of our home now! Don't come back unless your attitude has changed. You can't keep acting like a self righteous bitch." Laura stormed out. Antonio "wow, I've never heard you talk like that." Sylvie "well she shouldn't have called me blondie." Antonio wrapped his arms around sylvie "you know it's extremely sexy seeing you like that. Pregnancy hormones." Diego "ok, seriously can you two take it to the bedroom. So I don't have to see it or hear it." Eva "well diego, sylvie's already pregnant." Diego "gross, I'm going to my room. Tell me when supper is done. I'm sure we'll have a variety of foods that don't go together. Eva and sylvie are going to be pregnant forever dad." Antonio looked as sylvie and Eva were looking at the takeout menus. "Diego, just go with it." Sylvie "Ooohhhh, how about Chinese." Eva "mexican?" Sylvie "Italian." Eva "Korean?" Sylvie "Let's just order some of everything." Sylvie finished ordering "oh I forgot to ask diego and antonio what they wanted to eat." Antonio "there will be plenty of food, if not diego and I can order a pizza." The minute the word pizza come out of his mouth, he regretted it. Diego "way to go pops." Sylvie "Ooohhhh, pizza sounds good too." Sylvie ordered pizza. Five different delivery guys showed up in during a half hour. Passing each other on the way in and out. Eva and sylvie sat down at the table with a variety of food. Talking about the baby stuff that they were going to need. The father of eva's baby chose to not be involved. Antonio definitely wasn't to happy about it. Sylvie was still at work 7&1/2 months pregnant, but it was office duty. So it was light duty. Eva was working part time at 51, helping sylvie. Gabby "so how are you two doing? Meaning have antonio and diego run for the hills yet?" Eva "seriamente tía gabby." Sylvie "ok, English both of you." Eva "sorry sylvie, I forgot." Gabby "forgot what?" Eva "Sylvie is learning Spanish, but she thinks it's not fast enough." Gabby "Sylvie, it'll come to you." Mouch was about to walk past, but seeing two pregnant women. He made a beeline for the door. But sylvie saw mouch. Sylvie "Mouch?" Mouch whispered to himself "so close." "Yes brett." Sylvie "are you avoiding me?" Mouch "ummm no." Sylvie's hormones were all over the map. Otis ran in "aaahhhh brett, laura just flew in on her broomstick." Sylvie "great, wonder what the witch wants. Ok were did eva go?" Gabby "she's hiding in matt's office." Sylvie "lucky her. Laura what do you need?" Laura "I came here to talk to eva. Is she here?" Gabby "Eva stepped out, I'll let her know you stopped by. But as you can see we're busy. So I will walk you out." Laura "tell eva that I want to talk to her." Sylvie "ok. Will do." Eva finally appeared "is she gone?" Sylvie "yes." Sylvie went into labor 2 weeks before her due date. Antonio and sylvie welcomed a boy and a girl into the world. Their baby girl was named Isabella Gabriela Dawson. Their baby boy was named Luca Henry Dawson. The dawson family were gathered into the room, getting to know Isabella and Luca. Eva was in the room when her water broke. Eva "ummm dad." Antonio "holy shit." Gabby and antonio joined eva in the delivery room. Camila stayed with sylvie and the twins. Eva gave birth to a baby boy, she chose to name him Jackson Antonio Dawson. Eva was able to room with sylvie. Antonio became a dad to twins and also a grandpa. Life was going to change for the dawson family.

charity ball

By the end of her shift, sylvie had her hair up in curlers. She had showered at 51, then put her up. She had picked up antonio's suit from the dry cleaners. Grabbing her bag from her locker, she was getting ready to go home. To get ready for a charity masquerade ball for fallen heroes. Of course she went through the break room, where some of the guys were relaxing. Otis "hey brett, nice hair." Otis snickered, along with the rest of the room. Herrmann "boy, antonio is one lucky man." Sylvie gave Herrmann an evil glare "it's not like all we have to do is put on a suit. We have to get our hair done, makeup, waxing and not to mention the dress we have to squeeze into. Making sure the dress covers all the appropriate places. So....." Herrmann "alright brett we get the picture, we didn't need a detailed description." Otis "he's right brett. We'll see at the ball." Gabby walked out with her hair up in culers. The girls had helped each other with their hair. "Really guys, give sylvie a break. You need a ride today?" Sylvie "no, antonio should be here.....right about now...." In walked antonio, "ready to go babe?" He greeted her with a kiss. Sylvie "yeah, I picked up your suit. Plus these idiots think they're funny. Seriously otis and Herrmann, what would lily and Cindy say?" They both cringed at the thought. Sylvie has been living with antonio for about two months. So otis and cruz took on a new roommate, Will Halstead. Will needed a place to stay. So sylvie suggested Will to the guys. Cruz still didn't like the idea of sylvie being with antonio. But what choice did he have, he didn't want to lose her friendship. Cruz was sitting at squad 3's table. "Hey brett, see you at the charity ball." Antonio had grabbed sylvie's bag to carry, being the gentleman he was. Sylvie "yes, we'll see you there. You have a date?" Cruz "yeah, a friend of lily's. See you two later." Arriving at home, sylvie went to work on getting ready. Her dress was a sparkly black and red dress, with spaghetti straps and cut outs on the side. Plus a high slit on the left side of her dress. Antonio saw sylvie all dressed up. "Wow, you look sexy. Maybe we'll skip the ball." Sylvie "aaahhhh no. Here's your mask." Antonio "who came up with the idea of a masquerade charity ball?" Sylvie "come on antonio, you will definitely look sexy. Plus I'll make it worth you're while, meaning later on tonight. The kids are at your mom's house. I picked up some new lingerie for later tonight." Antonio "ok let's go. The sooner we get there, the sooner I can get you back home." Sylvie "actually I've made reservations at the hotel the charity event is at. I've already dropped of our bags in our room. So we can sneak away whenever we want." She placed kisses down his neck. Antonio "we better go now, otherwise we aren't going to make it." Sylvie was quite on the ride over. Antonio looked over at her. Antonio sighed "babe, are things still tense at work?" Sylvie "yes, Cruz is still upset about me moving out and......." Antonio "moving in with me....." Sylvie "antonio, I love you. I love your kids, I love waking up next to you. I love our life together. I just wish cruz was honest with me to start. It wouldn't be so damn awkward. I do love cruz, but only as a friend. You, antonio are my everything." Antonio "I can understand cruz. Getting over you isn't easy. Trust me. But I'm happy that I finally woke up and realized that you are my soul mate. I love you so much." Sylvie looked at antonio with love in her eyes "I love you too." Arriving at the charity event. Antonio held sylvie's hand to comfort her. He whispered to her gently "babe, I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere." Gabby "wow sylvie, muy caliente." Sylvie "gracias. You look hot too gabby." Gabby "I'm impressed sylvie. Learning some Spanish." Sylvie "well between antonio and the kids, it's easy to pick up. Plus muy caliente is antonio's favorite phrase." Gabby "Seriously, I didn't need to hear that. God, you two make me sick." Antonio "aaahhhh sis, you love us." Gabby "so you guys want to get a drink later." Antonio "no, sylvie reserved a room for us here. So we don't have far to go. The kids are at ma's." Sylvie and antonio mingled with the others throughout the evening. Sylvie excused herself to go to their hotel room. Getting out of her dress and into her new lingerie. Taking her hair down, beautiful loose curls. She texted antonio to join her in their room. Now waiting for antonio. Antonio was talking to jay, when he heard his phone. Checking his phone, a text message from his girlfriend. Jay "girlfriend.." Antonio "yes, see you at work." Jay "She makes you happy, dawson." Antonio "more than ever. She's amazing." Jay "see you." Antonio entered their hotel suite. Sylvie was lying on the bed, waiting for him. Antonio "muy caliente, babe." Sylvie made quick work of antonio's clothes, ripping his shirt open. Buttons flying everywhere. Antonio "someone's impatient." Antonio ripped her lingerie off her body. Their chemistry together was always intense, especially in the bedroom. This night was ending perfectly.

Chapter 1....Marry Me

Molly's was having another karaoke night. Antonio had a ring in his pocket. He was going to propose to his girlfriend sylvie. He had asked his sister for help in planning this tonight. Antonio had bought sylvie a drink. He went up behind sylvie "can I buy you a drink?" Sylvie smiled "yes you may." Antonio sat down next to sylvie, putting his arm around her. "Are you happy?" He kissed her fingers. She put her hand on his cheek "happier than I've ever been. Being with you, well antonio, you are my everything. I love you so much." Antonio "I love you too." Gabby came up to antonio, whispered to him "everything is set." Antonio kissed sylvie "I'll be right back." Gabby has turned of the lights and molly's was lit by only candle light. Gabby sat down by sylvie. Sylvie "what's going on? Where did your brother go?" Antonio was on the stage. He had the microphone in his hand. "I want to let my beautiful girlfriend sylvie know how much I love her. Well here it goes." The music started playing. It was a song by Train 'Marry Me.' Antonio started singing. "Forever can never be long enough for me To feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now, we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do" "Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way" "Marry me Today and every day Marry me If I ever get the nerve to say......." Sylvie had tears rolling down her cheeks "Gabby, you knew." Gabby "I may have."

Sylvie just smiled at him. This amazing man, who was in love with her. She was hopelessly in love with him. "Wow, he's an amazing man. What did I ever do to deserve him in my life?" Gabby "you make my brother happier than he's ever been." Antonio was finishing up singing "Sylvie, can you please come up here?" Sylvie walked up to antonio. Antonio held her hands "I love you sylvie brett. You are an amazing woman. You love me, you love my kids." Sylvie saw his kids standing by their aunt gabby. Antonio "I want to spend the rest of my life being the man you deserve. I love you sylvie brett." He got down on one knee, opening the ring box "Sylvie Brett, will you do me the honor of becoming my wife? Will you marry me?" Sylvie looked at antonio, tears in her eyes."Antonio I love you so much. I love your kids. Of course I'll marry you. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'll marry you." Antonio slipped the ring on her finger. Standing up, kissing her. Both of them smiling and crying tears of joy. Then rose petals rained from the ceiling, falling down on them. Sylvie "you did this all for me? I love you so much. I'm so blessed to have you in my life. Becoming Mrs Antonio Dawson, life doesn't get much better then this" Antonio "I love you so much. When do you want to get married?" Sylvie "yesterday. I don't need a big wedding. Just you, the kids and our family right here is all I need." The kids went up and hugged both of them. The rest of molly's congratulated the couple. The wedding was organized for the following weekend at molly's, with gabby's help. Gabby was helping sylvie get ready "are you ready to become Sylvie Dawson?" Sylvie "of course. I hope it's ok that I asked eva to be my maid of honor?" Gabby "of course it is. It's perfect, since diego is antonio's best man." Sylvie's dress was a tea length off the shoulder ivory v neck gown. Her hair was done in beautiful loose curls. With a birdcage style veil. Her flowers were beautiful deep red roses. Antonio was wearing a black suit, with a black tie. A single red rose was pinned to his suit jacket. Diego did double duty. He walked sylvie down the isle and also served as antonio's best man. Antonio looked at his beautiful wife to be "wow, you look so beautiful." Sylvie "you look extremely sexy." Exchanging vows in front of family and friends. Sylvie and antonio were finally married. Both of them finally getting the happiness they both longed for and deserved. Then they were off for their 7 day honeymoon in the Caribbean.
