The last thing Kelly Severide had ever expected to see on his dads face was happy emotions. Dylan still looked a bit scared but suddenly Benny started to cry a bit, hugging his son then.
''Oh Kelly.'' Benny said, not knowing what else to say.
Kelly was surpised his father was so emotional but then he also knew it wasn't nothing that he was telling his dad.
''I am Benny and I am your grandpa.'' Benny said and Dylan still looked a bit scared but after some pushing from Matt, he carefully hugged his grandpa. Benny looked up at Kelly then for some more explanation.
''He is the son of Lisa, a girl I used to date but we didn't work out. I never knew she had a son.'' Kelly said, worried that Dylan would still be upset when he heard his mom's name.
Gabby put dinner on the table and Benny was sitting beside Dylan, trying to talk to him and let him eat his dinner, but Dylan didn't really seem to be into either of them.
After dinner, Benny and Kelly sat down on the balcony with a cigar, Kelly not sure what to say.
''I am sorry I have not been a good father all of the time." He started. "But I really hope I can make it up with you by looking after Dylan. I promise I will be a good grandfather.''
''I know.'' Kelly said, not sure what to make of his dad being all emotional. Looking inside he saw Matt chasing Dylan with a smile as slow as possible and Dylan running away with an ever bigger smile.
''You just need to make sure you are a better dad for Dylan than I was for you.''
''I am trying.''
''And I know you are already a better dad. It is not that hard to be a better dad than me Kelly. I know you are going to do great and I will be here if you need any help.
''Thanks, dad.'' Kelly said.
They finished up the cigar and walked back inside. Dylan was now asleep on the couch under Gabby's watchfull eye, whom had covered him with a blanket.
''Looks like it is time to take the little man home.'' Kelly said.
''Gabby and I were thinking of going to the food festival tomorrow, if you want to join us, feel free to.'' Matt said, looking as Kelly pulled the blanket of Dylan carefully, the boy opening his eye and jumping off the couch with the blanket clenched in his little fists.
''Come on, we are going home.'' Kelly said softly, giving a soft tug on the blanket.
''No.'' Dylan pouted.
''Dylan, that blanket is not yours, let go okay?''
''No!'' Dylan said, holding it in his fists and Benny smirked for a second because Dylan seemed to have the same temper as Kelly.
Matt knelt down by the boy. ''How about you take the blanket and bring it back another time?'' Matt smiled rubbing though his curls.
Dylan nodded sleepily and Kelly smiled, carrying him to the car, Dylan snuggled in the blanket. He remained asleep in the car, even when Kelly secured him in the seat and at home he carried him to bed. Carefully, he laid Dylan down in the bed and tucked him in. For a second he kept kneeling down by the bed and caressed Dylan on the side of his face.
Kelly walked to the bedroom he was staying in, falling asleep soon, just so glad that he had so much support and he knew with Matt, Gabby and his dad here to support him, he knew it had to be alright.
The next morning, he and Dylan woke up around the same time and got dressed for the day. Dylan refused to have breakfast and Kelly didn't want to get angry or upset and thought of something better.
''Do you want to go to the food festival with Matt and Gabby?'' Kelly asked, hoping that he would finally eat something there so he had an idea what Dylan liked.
Eager, Dylan nodded and as soon as he heard Matt's name he grabbed the blanket he had taken yesterday.
''I am sure Matt meant that you can keep it until we go to their home again.'' Kelly said and Dylan popped it back on his bed.
''Come on, let's go, okay!'' Kelly said excited and immediately Dylan grabbed his hand.
Walking over the market, he was worried to lose Dylan so he held the little boys hand tightly and Dylan looked up scared.
Not doubting for a second, Kelly lifted the boy up and put him on his shoulders, holding his legs tightly. Dylan screamed first but then laughed loud, grabbing a handful of Kelly's hair and Kelly tried to mind the boy pulling his hair but then it was great to hear him laugh. With Dylan still pulling his hair, Kelly looked around until he saw the picnic table where Matt and Gabby were seated.
''Looks like you got yourself some VIP transport.'' Matt smirked as he lifted Dylan from Kelly's shoulders.
''Yeah, go sit on Matt's shoulders and pull his hair, he is already going bald anyways.''
''I am not, you are just jealous.'' Matt teased Kelly back and put Dylan on the ground, Dylan running to Gabby. She put him on her lap and curious, he looked at the spring rolls in front of her. Kelly and Matt looked as she was talking with Dylan but Matt saw then that it was getting a bit hard for her to talk with Dylan and Matt walked to him.
''Let's go look for something you like, hmm?'' He said and he lifted Dylan on his shoulders and Dylan screamed with joy again as they walked off to find some food.
''I am sorry.''
''Don't be, it's not your fault.'' Gabby said and she let go of a small smile, but Kelly was not sure if it was a happy or a sad smile.
''I know it must be hard to be around Dylan.''
''It is okay. He is such a great little boy.'' Gabby smiled. ''Me and Matt are going to try for another baby.''
''That is great. I am sure you are going to be great parents Gabby. You will be blessed with a little baby and I know it won't take away the loss but you will be such great parents.''
''Thank you.''
Gabby looked as Matt was walking up ahead a bit at some of the door stalls with Dylan. Hopefully they would have a baby too and he would be such a great father.
Kelly got him and Gabby some more drinks and she told him about the lieutenant that was replacing him. He hoped he could sort it out soon so he could go back because he did miss his job even though it was so great to spend time with his son.
Matt and Dylan came walking back and proudly, Dylan showed all the food he had gotten with Matt – fries and more spring rolls for Gabby. Even prouder, he showed the ice cream and the candy and Matt shrugged.
''He wanted it all.'' Matt said, saw Kelly wasn't so sure if Dylan was going to eat all of it.
''Candy!'' Dylan said excited.
''That is great bud. Looks like you need to say something to uncle Matt, hmm?'' Kelly said then as he lifted Dylan on the bench beside him.
''Fank you.'' Dylan said before starting to eat the fries. Matt smiled and ruffled him through his hair. Kelly was so happy to see Dylan finally eating.
After having a great afternoon at the festival, Kelly and Dylan got ready to go home, Dylan still so happy with his bag of candy. They said goodbye to Matt and Gabby and Dylan grabbed his hand again. Then he suddenly pointed at Kelly's shoulders and Kelly took the candy from him and put it in his own bag. Then he lifted Dylan up again and they left the market, Dylan on his shoulders.
''Run daddy!'' Dylan said, pulling his hair.
Kelly smirked for a second but slowly started walking faster, Dylan wrapping his arms around his head and laughing loudly. As they were near the parking now, Kelly started running and Dylan almost screamed from joy as Kelly ran to their car.
Once at the car, he took Dylan from his shoulders, the boy still laughing loud. Kelly was so glad they had such a good day and the boy had so much joy. Overwhelmed by happy feelings, he hugged Dylan.
''I love you daddy.'' Dylan mumbled softly.
''I love you too bud.'' Kelly said finally feeling a bit more sure they were going to be okay.
a/n: Will Benny Severide finally live up to being a grandfather or will he let Kelly down once again? Dylan and Kelly are starting to be a great team and Matt and Gabby are looking to the future as they try again for another baby.
