Kelly drove to the house, feeling like a piece of missing was without Stella sitting in the seat next to him. If she were there, they would probably be fighting over what radio station to listen to. She would win, of course, he always gave in so he could listen to her sing along to her favorite songs.

Pulling up in front of the firehouse, Kelly made his way inside. Everyone greeted him happily, asking him about Stella. He assured everyone that she was doing a lot better before making his way back to his office. After spending the last two days with pretty much just Stella, he wasn't in the mood to be with so many other people.

He dropped his bag onto his bed, looking through it. Finding what he was looking for at the bottom of the bag, he pulled it out and smiled at it. He had gotten the picture of him and Stella from the park framed for his desk, setting it as his phone background wasn't enough. Casey knocked on the door, interrupting Kelly's thoughts. "Hey. Just wanted to check in on you".

"I'm okay. Just wish Stella was here with me". Casey nodded, that was something he understood. Coming into work for shifts when Gabby was home hurt or sick was the hardest thing for Casey. "I get that. Stella will be back here in no time though. You just have to get through the next few shifts without her". Before Kelly could respond, the other head bells where calling the entire house to a fire at a office building.

Meanwhile, Stella had given up on trying to fall back asleep and got out of bed to get ready for the day. She was able to make herself breakfast with one hand, but getting dressed proved to be a different story. She was wearing one of Kelly's shirts, and wasn't planning on wearing it for the next 24 hours. She couldn't even take her sling off by herself, it clipped around her back which made it difficult to reach.

Frustration took over after trying multiple times, and she grabbed her phone off the bed. She considered calling Kelly, but she knew if he was out on a call and saw a missed call from her later on he would panic. Instead, she called Dawson who picked up quickly.

"Hey, what's up? Is everything okay"? Stella could hear the concern in her voice, and regretted calling her. "I'm fine. I shouldn't have called, it's dumb. I can't get my sling off by myself, so I can't get dressed. I didn't want to call Kelly and scare him, so I figured I'd see if you and Brett were already out and could maybe swing by to help me".

"We're just leaving Med now. The rest of the house is still at a building fire; Kelly wouldn't have seen your call. Give us 15 minutes, we'll be there". Stella thanked her before hanging up and laying on the couch. She started to fall back asleep before a knocking on the door woke her up.

She opened the door, letting her friends in. "Thanks for coming. I really should've had Kelly help me before he left but I wasn't thinking".

"Don't worry about it. We were going to come check on you at some point today anyway". Gabby and Brett entered the apartment, helping Stella get dressed and adjust her sling.

"Do you want us to come back tonight?", Brett asked. "You might have a hard time getting ready for bed alone".

Stella shook her head, she appreciated her friends helping her but what she really wanted was an excuse to call Kelly later. 24 hours was too long for her to go without him. "Thank you, but I'll just call Kelly later and see if he can come".

As much as Brett and Dawson wanted to stay longer, their radio was soon calling them to a car accident. They reminded Stella to call them at anytime before heading out the door and leaving her by herself again.

Boredom took over for Stella, and she grabbed her phone to text Kelly. He had just gotten back to the house, and was about to text her when her text came through. "I'm so bored", she texted. "Think of all the things you could do to me if you were here too". He groaned and threw his head back when he read it, happy he was alone in his office at the moment.

"Baby, please. Don't text me things like that when I'm at work". She laughed when she read his text, and decided to torture him a little bit more. "If you weren't busy this morning, you could've come helped me get dressed. I had to call Dawson instead". He texted back quickly, "I've never been so jealous of Gabby than I am right now". She texted back, "Come by tonight. I need help getting ready for bed".

The overhead bells went off, calling squad to a car accident. He grabbed his phone, wanting to use the few minutes he had before arriving at the scene to text Stella. They texted back in the same playful manner a few more times before Kelly could see the accident in the distance.

"Just getting a car accident, I'll call you later. In the meantime why don't you make a list of all those things you want me to do to you". She texted back, he read it before hopping out of the truck. "Trust me, that list is very long and already formed in my head. Be safe, talk to you later". With that, Kelly smiled before taking in the scene and shouting out instructions to his men.
