"Gabriella, your body temperature is 96 degrees you need to lie down and we need to get you warmed up" Mario says to his sister who nods to show understanding.

Gabby heads with him to a treatment room, Buck soon following behind her noticing her about to collapse, so he rushes over to her.

"I got you" Evan says sweeping her off her feet and carrying her to the room where she is put down in the bed.

"How's our girl" Hen asks entering the exam room, only to find Buck lying on the bed with her sound asleep.

"I'm doing fine Hen, really" Gabriella remarks, as she runs her fingers through Evans hair.

The next day Gabriella was released from the hospital but given a week off of work.

Evan had to go to work, early before she had been released form the hospital, so she thought she would surprise him and the other firefighters of the house he worked at.

She went to her house and got home to her new babysitter watching Baby Lola.

"Harley you wanna help me make cookies, for the firemen who rescued me from the crash" Gabriella asks the 19 year old high school graduate who is her sitter and new friend.

"Sure" Harley responds.

"We got company" Bobby says to the firefighters who are finishing up making lunch.

"It's Gabby" Hen says furrowing her brow at Evan who heads down the spiral staircase to greet her.

"Hey" Evan says when he walks up to her car that pulls into the house.

She goes to the back of the car and he raises an eye "what ya doing?"

"Hold this" Gabriella says handing him a huge tub of cookies.

She then grabs Baby Lola swaddling her in her arms.

Evan helps by grabbing the car seat when he realizes what is going on.

"Hey guys" Gabriella says heading up the spiral staircase to the dining area.

"I brought you guys homemade cookies to thank you guys for rescuing me from the plane. I can't thank you enough for bringing me home to my baby girl, and my brother. Hope you enjoy them thanks again" Gabriella says heading for the door.

"Gabriella was it? Stay for dinner" Bobby says.
