A/N- I don't own Chicago Fire. I write to be happy when real life sucks.
Fall slid into winter. May was off- shift on Christmas, so she went home for it, coming home with hand made lotion and soap plus other stuff from her aunt's shop. Melissa would not let her leave without it, knowing winter was hell on skin. She shared with Shay and Dawson, and put some of it in the showers.
She met Katie Nolan, cooking with her when she came to cook for 51.
The night the power went out , she stood steady as chaos and Vince Keeler made the night even harder for 51.
She had no idea the lengths some would go to for revenge, and hearing of Katie's abduction made her horrified.
She saw Kelly, unwound and frantic. Though she knew Kelly hadn't had the chance to be there as he may have wanted, she also knew being an older sibling.
She gently tugged him aside, propelling him into one of the meeting rooms.
She opened her phone, pulling up a picture from Christmas. May and a grinning young man with hazel eyes and dark blonde hair.
"This is Teddy. He's a year younger than Mills and is a veterinary intern back home in Michigan. He's my baby brother.
He's one of the best things in my life. There are times I know I wouldn't be who and where I am if he wasn't there. I've never been quite where you are, but I've moved the world to keep him safe and happy.
If anything close to what happened to Katie happened to him, nothing would stop me bringing him home.
I get it. I have your back. Do what you need to. Still, remember- she will need you after. Don't do anything to prevent you doing that."
Kelly smiled slightly. It was quick, weak, and gone in a second.
"Thank you, May."
There's that. Thursday I go in to have a laser procedure done on my left eye. It's also the first time I'm doing anything majorly medical without my mom right beside me. I'm not really OK right now, so fanfic it is. Enjoy.
