Three days had past since the explosion and Chicago Medical and Erin couldn't believe how quickly things had gone back to normal. It almost made her sick that everyone was going back into their routines like nothing had happened. She knew that life had to go on, but she just seemed to take the whole explosion a lot harder than she thought. Especially to know that two innocent little girls got caught in the crossfire. That's what hurt the most. She was so grateful that Kim's niece Zoey survived the whole ordeal, but her heart really broke for Imogen and her family. Erin had seen a lot of depressing things in her years as a cop, but this definitely took the cake. It made her stomach hurt just thinking about it. She walked into the precinct and went to over to her desk. She smiled when she saw flowers sitting on her desk. She went over and read the card. She was amazed. She told him that if he really wanted to impress her, he could ask around and figure out what her favorite flower was and then send them to her. Sure enough there was a bouquet of purple carnations.
Thanks for being here for me. This has been a crazy week. Can't wait to see you again.- Kelly
Erin smiled and moved the flowers to another part of her desk. She looked up and saw Jay and Adam (Ruzek) staring at her amused.
"Can I help you?" She said with a laugh. She took her phone out and pulled up her messages. She opened her conversation and sent a message to Severide.
You're officially my favorite. I'm impressed that you took the time to find out what my favorite flower was. Dinner tonight? (;
Jay and Adam looked at her. "Man, that fireman is really into you. I think it's cute." Adam said laughing. Erin just glared at him. Jay looked at her. "Tell me this.. who has the better package, cops or firefighters?" Jay said to her laughing.
"Well, considering I never have and never will see you naked, Imma go with not you." Erin said offering a fake smile. She loved these people and she appreciated the joking. It has been such a crazy week and she could use some laughs. She liked having distractions.
"Regardless, we are all happy for you." Antonio told her as he patted her on the back. Antonio had known Erin for a while and he felt that she really deserved some happiness. She was always putting others in front of her and she deserved to be happy herself. He knew that it wouldn't be easy for her though. Erin had a problem of not being able to let things go, and her past had a tendency to haunt her. Antonio hoped that this worked out, at least for a little while. He was protective of her like a big brother, but he trusted those guys at firehouse 51 and he had no problems with any of them. If Severide treated Erin half the way that Casey treated Gabby, things would be just fine.
Voight came in and he caught the tail end of the conversation. it kind of made him want to barf thinking about Erin having sex with Kelly. Erin was practically a daughter to him, and it did weird him out a little. Especially considering the state that Erin was in when Voight first met her. She had come a hell of a long way from then, he had to admit. He just hoped that this courtship didn't end in sadness. Erin had a lot of that in her life already.
"Alright, enough of the mushy crap. Lets get to work." Voight said. Erin put her phone in her pocket as Jin began briefing them on their current case.
Meanwhile, Kelly was in the Rec Room at the firehouse. All the guys were either helping Mills good, sitting around shooting shit or watching something on the tv. Kelly wasn't paying attention. All he could think about was Erin. Man he had it hard for this girl. Even though the whole situation with Katie getting kidnapped really sucked, Kelly knew that if it wasn't for that, he probably wouldn't be in the position he is right now. Thankfully everything turned out okay with that. Kelly was falling fast. it was weird for him because he usually felt in control in relationships and he never pictured them being serious. The only reason things with Renee were kind of serious was because he thought she was having his baby. Kelly was really glad that all turned out to be a lie. Not that he wouldn't mind a child. Hell he would jump at the chance if Erin wanted. There's something about her that just really sticks with him. He couldn't figure out exactly what it was but he wanted to make things official with her. Kelly was taken out of his thoughts when Casey and Dawson came to sit with him.
Dawson was doing a lot better. She wasn't back at work yet because medically she was still healing, but ever since the explosion she was terrified to be by herself. Dawson knew that nothing would happen to her like that, but being trapped by herself must have created an aversion to her being alone. So Boden said it was perfectly fine for her to hangout at the firehouse while Casey was working. Today had been a relatively calm day and everyone was relieved.
"Kelly, how is Shay doing?" Dawson asked breaking him from his daydream. Shay was doing well. She ended up losing a lot of blood but everyone thought she was such a badass for not giving up when other people needed help. She was released from the hospital but she has to take it easy.
Kelly spoke up. "She's doing a lot better. She's going to be off work for a while, and pretty much all that she is allowed to do is lay around, but she's doing great." He said. "You know, you should come visit her. Officer Burgess has been coming over a lot and spending time with her. I like for someone to be there when I'm not just to be safe." Kelly told her. Dawson just nodded and she made a mental note to come visit.
"How are you and Erin doing? I heard things are getting hot and heavy pretty quickly." Dawson said with a smirk. Antonio always informed Gabby of what was going on at the police station. Gabby knew everything over there.
Kelly just laughed. He decided to plead the fifth. He was pretty private about his love life and he wasn't really one to kiss and tell. "She's a sweet girl." He said trying to play it cool. It was obvious to everyone that he had the hots for her.
"Well, I think it's cool. You deserve to be happy. From what Antonio told me, so does Erin." Gabby said, then she quickly regretted it. Antonio asked her not to say anything to anyone about what he told her about Erin's past. Kelly heard the remark, but decided to just ignore it. He would probably find out eventually anyways.
"I'm glad things are good man. I feel for you though. Voight intimidates the shit out of me." Casey said shaking his head. He was thinking about all the stuff that happened when Voight tried to cover up for Justin. Casey did not like getting involved in all that. Although, Voight is starting to seem like a decent cop. Just someone with their own unusual methods.
Kelly smirked and looked down at his phone. He realized he had a message from Erin. He typed a quick reply.
"I'll pick you up at 7. Where something fancy." He told her then closed his phone. Kelly had an idea. It was crazy, but he had a feeling it would play out the way he planned.
Erin spent the whole rest of the day waiting to get off shift. She practically ran home when she got off. She went home, stripped her clothes before she got to her bedroom and went and showered. She spend about 45 minutes in there making sure that she was clean and everything. She was really nervous. Like high school butterfly nervous. She was a cop and she saw all kinds of crazy stuff that never bothered her, yet she was letting butterflies in her stomach get to her. Erin hopped out of the shower and started to do her makeup and hair. She decided to put her hair up in a tight bun and then she just did light makeup. She went to her closet and decided on a tight red dress. Erin looked hot. Classy but also very sexy. She knew he would be impressed. Just as she slipped on her black pumps, she heard a knock on the door.
"Come in." She said. She walked out in to the living room and stopped when she saw him. He looked fucking hot. He was wearing a nice pair of pants and a black button up shirt. She really just wanted to forget about dinner and rip his clothes off right then and there. He looked at her and was captivated by how beautiful she looked. He also wanted to just screw dinner and get her in bed. However, he had something special planned and needed it to work.
"You look so beautiful." He told her. He went over and kissed her softly but passionately. She returned the kiss and pulled him close to her. Eventually he broke the kiss and they left. He took her to this really fancy Italian restaurant. Erin was really impressed. He really knew how to wine and dine a girl. They spend the whole night talking and getting to know each other. Kelly knew that this was the girl that wanted a future with. After dinner he took her back to his place and after checking on Shay, they went upstairs. Before he made his way upstairs, he grabbed a bottle of wine from the fridge and brought upstairs. They say on his bed, drinking wine and talking.
"I have to admit, you're quite the catch Kelly Severide." She told him. She felt like she was practically in love already. She knows that it sounds crazy but this guy absolutely amazes her. It has to take such a kind hearted person to do what he does everyday. She knew he was such a great person.
"Well, if you think so.. I have something I want to ask you." Severide said to her. She looked at him. "Ask away." She said with a smile. He smiled and then went over to his dresser drawer. He pulled something out of it. When he came back, he went to set back on the bed with her and he flipped open the ring box. "Then why don't you marry me." He said completely serious. She looked at him and she was incredibly shocked. She was not expecting that at all. She had known him for what weeks, and only been seeing him semi-seriously for a few of those weeks. She had only had sex with him for the first time the night of the bombing. He was kind of crazy but Erin thought it was super romantic as well. She looked at him and without hesitation.
"Of course!" She said. She kissed him and then broke the kiss. "I have one condition." She said to him. "We don't have a fancy wedding. We go to the courthouse and do it tomorrow, and we see how long we can keep it a secret." She said with a smile. Erin was on cloud nine. She was sure that she was crazy for agreeing to marry him, but she was happy.
"Deal." He said. He slipped the ring on her finger and pushed her down on the bed, kissing her passionately.
Tah Duh! Hope that wasn't too crazy! Haha. I'm trying to make it different from my other story, but I love these two and I want them to be together so badly. lol. So let me know what you think! Reviews please! I need 5 before I update! Also, don't forget that this is AU and my story (:
