(Chapter Recap- "Some idiot crashed into my car, and I think Morgan's injured.")
Chapter 10
It was a long while before I woke up, and when I eventually did-I felt a huge knot on the back of my head, similar to when I had that concussion a while back. I had to make sure that no one besides Severide and I knew about what has taken place. I heard soft knocking at my door and I decided to let them in because I did not see a threat taking place. It was Severide and he was alone. I smiled and said, "Are you taking me home, because I'd really like to take a nice long bath and get some of my clothes. He smiled and said, "You're going to have to wait on the bath but I have some clothes for you, he said, showing me the plastic bag they were in. I smiled, knowing that was Shay's or Dawson handiwork. I smiled at the thought. But then I realized this, I was supposed to go for shift in twenty minutes. "Severide, I know you're going to say no, but can you see if the staff will discharge me early?" He had a puzzled look on his face as he was thinking it over. He sighed and said, "I'll see what I can do, but you owe me big time". I nodded and began taking off that hospital gown, which is next to impossible since I had an IV and heart monitor on my finger. Severide came back in and said, "They said that they would let me take you home". I had a cheesy grin on my face and said, "Severide, Will you help me with something?" as I blushed. He chuckled, "I will, and I will get the nurse in to take your IV out so we can go home. I smiled, and wondered, "Was it should a good idea to marry Casey, considering he isn't here?" Yet again, I had a lot to think about. (2 hours later), Severide and I arrived back at the firehouse. Everyone was busy either watching Television or eating. I smiled, knowing they didn't expect me to be here; but a saving grace was my brother was off from shift when we came back. But then, as we entered, I saw Casey with Heather and they were kissing. I looked over at Severide and had fresh tears blinding my vision. I looked at Casey and screamed, "Did you ever love me at all!" and Severide turned to him also and said, "How could you be this blatant?"
