Hi,
If you had a Time Machine Backup you could go to the ~/Library/Messages and for the iMessages Restore an older chat.db items and the other .db items that are there.
If you were saving chats on closing them you may find some or all in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.ichat/Data/Library/Messages/Archive and looking through the dated folders.
To access the ~/Library use the Finder > Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key and selecting the Library that appears in the list.
Other than that it is gone.
The iMessages are Pushed from the server to the various devices that are "registered" to receive them.
This will continue for about 2 days if one device is Off Line.
