Chapter 2
Previously…
"Where are you going?" Severide asked. Kat smiled and him and cocked her head. "We are going on a little field trip" she replied.
Now…
With the jealousy already brewing in Severide's mind, the plan was set. Hadley's wife Tina is a nurse at the hospital. She works the nightshifts so the situation works out perfectly. Once they got into his jeep, he looked at Kat for some type of direction. "We are going to the hospital. Come on Jamie, it's the perfect time right now" she explained. He looked at her like she was crazy. He was actually quite amused at how excited she was. "Well, Kat its 2am" he said. She smiled, "exactly" she replied.
"Capp, we are leaving. We'll be back in an hour" she said before leaving. They made it to the hospital within 20 minutes. The street was empty. There was no one out. When they got there, Kat put her badge on so they wouldn't have any trouble going through any red tape. They walked up the 10th floor to see Amy at the desk. She was the desk nurse on the nightshift. "Hey Kat, I thought you were at the fire house tonight?" Amy asked. "Hey Amy, yeah I am. I just need to check up on some things. What rooms are open?" she asked. Amy checked the board, "Room 3, you want it?" she replied. "Yes please. Just put me down for a PEP exam for now. I'll let you know more later. Also, can you page Tina for me?" she informed. Amy nodded and handed Kat the chart that accompanied room 3. She wasn't going to tag anything yet until she talked to Tina.
After she set up the room and got ready for all the prenatal exams, Tina walked in. She was surprised to see Hadley with Kat. It's the worst thing for medical professionals to get a page about someone you love that vague. "Hey Jay, what are you doing here?" she asked before turning to give Kat a hug. "Hey Kat" she looked between them curious. "What's going on here?" she asked. Kat smiled at the couple. "Well Hadley told me you are trying to have a baby. I would like to offer my services" Kat said. Tina was in tears as she looked between her husband and her best friend. "Really?" she asked. Kat couldn't help but start tearing up herself. "I would be honored if you let me help you" Kat stated.
Tina let out a sob and wrapped her arms around Kat in a hug. "Thank you" she said as they pulled away. Kat smiled and got back into doctor mode. All the tests and exams took about an hour. Kat put a rush on everything. She could tell they were anxious to get the results back and get started. Tina was practically bouncing with joy as she walked them out. "Okay so the results will be ready by later today so I'll call you later" Kat said as he gave Tina a hug. She gave Jamie a kiss, "I'll see you at home babe" she said before getting back to work. Kat and Jamie made their way back to the firehouse. Everyone was staring at them. "Everything all taken care of?" Severide asked. Kat smiled at him and nodded, "Yeah we are all good, "she said before turning to Capp. She threw her keys at him. "Meet me outside by my jeep. I have to drop something off for the chief, and then I'll be right back. I am cashing in on my second favor" she said.
While she was at the hospital, she grabbed Pete's chart. Once she made it to her office, she attached her field report to the medical chart. Severide just watched the interaction between the two. He watched Kat walk away with a smile on her face and how Hadley rejoined his seat on the squad table beaming. He walked over and sat in front of him. All the other guys were watching with cautious eyes. Casey was ready to step between the two if need be. Severide was unpredictable when it came to Kat. "So where did you guys go?" he asked Hadley. The fire fighter looked at his lieutenant and shook his head. "Seriously Kelly, you are giving me the third degree. I'm married and happy. I wouldn't do that to Tina or Kat. She deserves better. Why don't you do us all a favor and man up already" Hadley retorted.
Everyone's mouth dropped. Severide looked at his team member shocked. He knew everything Hadley said was true; he just couldn't believe he actually said it. His relationship with Kat was complicated, everyone knew that. "Where the hell do you get off? You don't know anything about me and Kat. No one does so why don't you all just leave us alone and mind your damn business" he said getting up to find Kat. She was walking out of the chief's office when he saw her. She stopped short when she saw him. "Hey what's up?" she asked. He took her hand and led her into his office. He shut the door and turned to look at her expectancy. She just stood there looking at him confused. "Kelly wha..." she was interrupted by his lips. She was shocked at first but eventually gave in. It felt so right after all these years. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed into him as she kissed him back.
Severide was in heaven. Once she started kissing him back, he smiled against her lips and pressed her closer to him, wrapping one hand in her hair and one on the small of her back. Kat was getting dizzy due to the lack of oxygen, so she pulled away. Damn, how can one kiss be that powerful? She felt it all the way to her toes. He was looking at her with lust filled eyes. He wanted her but he could see the wheels turning and inwardly groaned. A lecture was coming and he knew it. Kat always over thought things when she was panicked. "We…what are we doing?" she asked as she fell back to sit on the edge of the bed. Kelly let out a breath and sat next to her leaning on his knees. "We were kissing and we were finally giving into all our feelings" he said. She ran her hands through her hair. "Kelly we can't do this. We've done this before and we crashed and burned. I mean I couldn't stop crying for weeks and you practically lived with Johnny and Stephanie. I can't go through that. I won't go through that," she got out. "Kat I…" she put her hand up to stop him. "No, you can't just bring this up on me all at once" she said before walking out. She went to her office and just lay there trying to fall asleep. It was almost 6am, all the guys were sleeping expect for Kelly and Kat. They lay in their prospective offices staring at the ceiling.
Kat couldn't take it anymore. She got up and quietly made her way downstairs. She looked out and smiled at the sight of a bow and note on her car. She grabbed a squad coat and made her way out. 'This car is now fit for a princess' the note said. Kat chuckled and took the note and bow. Capp spent hours fixing her car. She smiled at the thought of it; she shad the best of friends. She made her way back into the kitchen to make the boys some breakfast before she left. She made them some eggs, bacon and pancakes. She had to be at the hospital at 8am, so she wrote the guys a note before she left. When she got to the hospital, the first thing she did was check her charts. She wanted to know if Tina's test results came back yet. She smiled when she saw them sitting on her desk. Her lab techs were the best. Once she settled in, she opened the chart and reviewed the results. By 8, the guys were starting to wake up. "What's this?" chief asked. Casey walked over to the kitchen and picked up the note, 'morning boys, I had to get to the hospital so I made you some breakfast. Eat up, enjoy and no Mills, I am not giving you the recipe" Casey laughed as he read it aloud.
Peter smiled and shook his head. Chief Boden chuckled and looked at the guys. "Well, dig in" he said. The fire fighters didn't need to be told twice. They piled as much food on their plates as possible. Severide walked in and saw everyone stuffing their faces. "Who cooked?" he asked. "Kat made all this before going to the hospital" Hadley said. No one noticed Severide's expression change. He nodded and moved past all them to grab something from the fridge. "You don't want any of this lieutenant?" Cruz asked. "No, I'm not really hungry" Kelly replied. He grabbed an apple and made his way over to the squad table. Casey came over and sat next to him. "So are you the reason why Kat left so early this morning?" he asked. Kelly looked at him with surprise. 'Damn, did he hear us last night?' Kelly thought to himself. Casey smirked at the expression on Severide's face. "Come on Kelly, we've been friends for how long? You guys had a fight last night, she left early this morning and you won't even touch her food" Casey relayed his observations. "Anyone ever tell you that you're too damn observant for your own good?" Kelly asked.
Casey smiled and chuckled. He knew that he was right. He's known Kelly and Kat for a long time. They were always at one end of the extreme; either at each other's throats or best of friends. "So, what happened?" Casey asked. Kelly let out a frustrated breath and wiped his hand over his face. "I kissed her. We were arguing and I just kissed her" he explained. Kelly looked up to see Casey staring at him wide-eyed. He was not expecting that at all. "No wonder she left early. What the hell Severide?" Matt asked with a hushed whisper. Kelly nodded, "I know alright. It wasn't all bad though. She kissed me back. It was great, then all of a sudden she pulled away and we have another fight" he finished. Casey nodded taking in all the new information. "Well, all I can say is that you have to talk to her Kelly, and you better make it right" he said. Now Severide got bad. "I know that Casey. I was going to talk with her this morning but she was gone by the time I got down here" he said angrily. " I know that but you guys always do this. You have a push and pull relationship. You push and pull away when one of you does something stupid. This would be stupid on your part. You guys can't function without each other. It's like she's your hand and you can't do this job if you aren't on good terms with your hands" Casey explained. Kelly let out a breath and nodded. Everything Casey was saying was true. He needed to mend fences with Kat. He hated it when she was mad at him. At the hospital, Kat had just finished her rounds and real all her charts and nightshift notes the residents filled out for her. She was still pissed at Kelly for rehashing all their old feelings. She had to push it down. Now she could turn around and turn her day around. She picked up the phone and paged Tina Hadley. She was so excited for her and Jamie. After a minute or so, Tina came barreling in looking exhausted.
"Hey girly" Tina greeted. Kat smiled and got up to hug Tina. "Hey, what's going on, you look exhausted?" Kat asked. Tina nodded and plopped down on Kat's couch. Kat sat next to her. "I worked 3rd shift last night, this morning epiphany calls me and asks me to stay because Laura called off work" she informed. Kat chuckled and shook her head. "You are too nice. Well I have some good news for you and your hubby" Kat said in a singy songy voice. Tina looked at her with big eyes. She was smiling at Kat. "Well, I got your test results back this morning and I am happy to announce that you and Jamie are the most fertile couple in Chicago. You can start hyping up your sex life ASAP" Kat said. Tina looked at Kat with tears in her eyes. "Are you serious?" she asked. Kat smiled big and nodded. "You can do this. From my medical standpoint, you are good to go babe. Just check in with me if you need anything" Kat said. Tina hugged Kat and started crying. Kat smiled and pulled away wiping her own tears. "Damn Tina, do you have to make me cry all the time?" Kat teased wiping her tears. Tina chuckled and started to pull herself together. "Have you told Jamie yet?" she asked. Kat shook her head, "no I've been avoiding calling the firehouse this morning" Kat replied.
Tina looked at her expectantly. "Did something happen with Kelly?" she asked. Kat chuckled and let her head fall back on the couch. "Am I that obvious?" she asked. Tina let out a laugh and shook her head. "No, I just know you two. Push-Pull is what you do" she replied. "Yeah well, we were arguing and then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he kisses me" she told Tina what happened. "Katina Amoretti! Did you kiss him back?" she asked. "Yeah I did. God, it felt so right but then my head came out of the clouds. I told him that I couldn't let him hurt me again and walked out" she explained. Tina smirked, "good. That boy needs a taste of his own medicine" she replied. This caused Kat to laugh. There were only two women Kelly Severide was afraid of; Tina and Kat. They could get away with so much with him. Tina and Kat both went back to work with smiled on their faces. Kat was swamped with patients. She was flying in and out of rooms. She didn't have to think of anything else.
At the firehouse, the guys were just sitting around when the siren broke out: 'Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61 and Battalion 25. Car wreck…'
Kelly rushed towards the truck and quickly got ingear, as they sped out siren's blazing. They quickly approached the car that was flipped on its roof in the middle of the road across from the median. Kelly rushed toward the first car that was on the median while Casey raced to the car on its top. A young male was sitting in the front seat, cussing and screaming. "Hey man, you need to calms down. We are going to get you out of here" Kelly said. He continued to yell as Kelly grabbed the neck brace and moved to put it on him. "I don't need that, just get me out of here!" he yelled. Kelly looked over his shoulder at Dawson for confirmation that the guy was okay to be moved. Since Kat wasn't with them, Gabby was the next in charge in the medical department. Gabby nodded, so Kelly got back to the guy. "Alright, com on" he said.
He grabbed the handle and the door opened with a little bit of force. His side of the car wasn't damaged; it was the side that hit the median. The man stepped out and Kelly steadied him. "That asshole ran right into me! He ran that red light!" he screamed and jerked out of Kelly's hold as they pulled the other man free of the car. "Whoa!" Kelly yelled and grabbed onto his arm. The guy swung around and Kelly briefly saw it before a hard object slammed into his head. "Gun, he's got a gun!" he heard Mouch yell, but he didn't see it, because he dropped his head in his hands. "Son of a bitch!" he yelled standing straight back up.
His vision swam but he rushed forward and grabbed he guy around the chest and slammed him onto the ground hard. He shoved the gun away and held him down. He felt like he might throw up but he stayed on top of him until a cop got to him and grabbed his wrists, handcuffing him quickly. "Thanks man" the cop said. "You're good" he patted him on the back. Kelly eased himself off the man. He stumbled slightly and a small body caught him. "Hey, Severide, look at me" Dawson was saying in his ear. Kelly swung his head around and he could tell by the look on her face it wasn't good. "I'm fine, I'm okay" he nodded. "No, you need to go the hospital. That's a nasty cut, and you might have a concussion" she said. Shay was the wheeling the other man into the ambulance. "Severide, get on the bus. Go to the hospital" chief said.
"Chief I'm fine. It's all good" he said nodding. That's not a good idea, it made him woozy. "Willing or forced your choice" the chief said. He cared about his people. He also knew that Kat would have his head if Kelly didn't checked out. Kelly sighed and Dawson watched him as he climbed into the ambulance. "Where are we going?" Kelly asked. "Chicago General" Dawson said. Kelly closed his eyes briefly. "Hey Kelly, open those eyes" Shay said patting his leg. His eyes opened wide and he nodded. "I'm good" he said quietly.
"Dr. Amoretti, Dr. Sheppard to the ER please" the intercom called loudly. Kat leapt out of her seat and hurried out the door. Derek was waiting at the doors as the ambulance backed up. The doors opened and a team of nurses grabbed the end of the gurney, pulling it out. Kat spotted Dawson and Shay quickly. "Bay 3 and 4 please!" Derek called over his shoulder. She saw Kelly slowly climb out of the back of the ambulance. Blood was running slowly down his forehead from a nasty cut. Kat leapt into action. "I need a suture kit brought to bay 4 please," she called as she stepped forward. Kelly looked up and smiled. "Hey Shay" she greeted. "Hey, come help me sit him up on the bed" she said as they helped him hop onto the bed. "Do I even want to know what you did?" she asked. He smirked at her, "we were on a call and some guy hit me over the head with the butt of a gun" he said. She hit his arm, "are you serious?" she asked. Shay nodded and gave her the 'yeah I know, he's an idiot,' look.
"Unbelievable. Let me take a look" she said lifting the pen light out of her pocket. She clicked it on and gently opened each eye wider, looking at them closely. "No sign of trauma, but we'll get a CT scan as soon as we get this fixed up" she said lifting the gauze pad and alcohol swabs. "This is going to sting a little" she said. Her heart was pounding as his enchanting blue eyes found hers and he nodded. 'No Kat, stop thinking like that! Stay mad!' her mind was screaming at her. She wiped at the cut gently, he still winced though. She leaned forward and blew on the burning cut. Kelly smiled and enjoyed Kat taking care of him.
When she blew on his cut, he had to fight the urge to grab her and kiss her again. She laid down the alcohol swabs and lifted the butterfly sutures. "You're lucky this doesn't need stiches. It will heal without much of a scar. What the hell possessed you to go after a man with a gun?" she asked as she applied the sutures. "I didn't know he had a gun. I didn't see it, I just heard Mouch yell gun" he said. Kat's eyebrows rose quickly. "Are you two kinds of stupid? What the hell Kelly? If someone says gun you go in the other direction. You don't charge the man" she punched him. He just shrugged, "what do you want me to say, people are crazy" he said. She leaned up on her tip toes to tape a gauze pad over the wound and her body pressed firmly against him. His eyes sank down her body. Her chest was nearly in his face, her hips in between is thighs; the urge to grab her and kiss her was back and stronger than ever. She pulled back and smiled returning to her normal position.
"I've got to go. Take care of him for me Kat" Shay said and patted her friend on the back. "Of course" Kat smiled as Shay walked out the door. "Okay hot shot, if you'll just lay back and rest for a few I'll order the CT scan and we'll get you out of here" she said. "Will do doc" he teased. She smiled and shook her head as she walked out of the small curtain area. She sent the meanest nurse in to help him. A tall male nurse walked in and cleaned up the bloody gauze and alcohol swabs. He gave him a nod and smiled before he left. A short plump woman walked in behind him holding a gown. "Okay sir, I'll need you to strip down to your underwear and put this on. Make sure you remove all jewelry, rings, necklaces…etc." she said passing him the gown. "Umm, I don't think that's necessary" he said slowly as he took the gown. "Doctor Amoretti ordered it in order for your CT to take place" she replied. He nodded as she left and he stood quickly, a little too quickly because his head swam and he had to grab the bed rail for support.
He undressed quickly and slipped into the robe. He grumbled as he tied the back up and then slid back into the bed. He pulled the cover up over his legs slightly, a little embarrassed. A knock brought his head up. "Come in" he called. Kat peeked in and nodded. "Good, you're dressed" she said stepping into the room. "Yeah, even though this gown is ridiculous and unnecessary" he groaned. She smiled, "I agree, but it's easier to scan you in a gown. So how are you feeling?" she asked coming forward to take a seat next to his feet on the bed. "Better than I was when I walked through the doors" he said. Kat smiled and moved to pull her hair in a pony -tail. "So, are we okay?" she asked. He smiled and opened his arms. She moved to lean across the bed and hugged him.
She kissed his cheek and rested her head on the pillow. "So, how about we go out for steaks tonight?" she offered. He smirked at her, "are you taking me out?" he asked. She pulled away and rolled her eyes at him; "don't let it go to your head. One of my patients suggested a nice place to go for a steak dinner" she said. "Okay, sounds good" he said. She smiled up at him, "great! Why don't you pick me up at 8?" she said. "Fine, 8 at the fire house" he replied. Kat got up, fixed her clothes and walked out. Kelly was back at the fire house a few hours later. All he needed was a CT scan. He headed into the chiefs office, surpassing everyone else to make sure everything was cleared so he could go back to duty.
