"Busy Day?" Kelly asked Katherine as she walked through the door
"Mental, You?" She asked as she put her bag on the table
"The usual" He replied walking over to the table
"Where's Han?"
"In her room, doing homework. I hope"
"She's not like us when we were 15"
"You sure?" Kelly laughed as he got something out of the oven
"I hope you haven't fixed her window yet"
"Not yet, and maybe not ever now that I think about it"
"Hannah dinners ready" Katherine called out
"Yep" Hannah replied from her room
"Any interesting cases yet?" Kelly asked
"I don't know, all I've been doing is paperwork"
"Got to start somewhere"
"Yeah, I should just be thankful I got the job I guess"
"What is she doing in her room" Kelly questioned "Hannah!"
"Yep, I'm coming" She said walking out of her room
"Dinners ready" Kelly replied
"Yeah I heard you the first time" Hannah replied
"What were you doing in your room" Katherine asked
"Reading up on something"
"Homework?" Kelly questioned
"Nope"
"Well then, what were you reading?" Katherine questioned
"Well, seeing we are back in Chicago and I'm 15 I was thinking-"
"No, you are not getting your learners until your 16" Said Kelly
"Why not?" Hannah questioned
"You know how many car accidents I've seen with learners and probationary drivers"
"Yeah but I won't be another statistic, I'm not a bad driver plus I've got you and mum to teach me"
"It's not you driving that is the problem it's the other people on the roads" Kelly explained
"So, I don't care if you make me drive up and down our street for the first few times"
"Like the first month?"
"First three months, I don't care"
"I'm not driving with you until you've had at least 3 lessons" Katherine added
"And you still call yourself a good driver"
"OK, I feel that I would be an OK driver"
"Have you ever driven a car?"
"Yeah" Hannah replied
"Apart from when you were with me, on the bush trails"
"No"
"So you've never driven on the road?"
Hannah sighed "Kind of hard when we left Phoenix before I was 15 and a half. But isn't that the point of being a learner"
"Well think about it" Kelly replied
"So that's a no" Said Hannah
"I said we'll think about it, now finish your dinner"
Hannah looked at her mom
"Do what your dad says Han"
Hannah rolled her eyes and ate her dinner

"Are we going to consider it?" Katherine asked Kelly as they did the dishes
"I guess we have to" Kelly replied
"I'm worried too, but our baby is growing up"
"Yeah, I'll figure something out and let her know tomorrow"
"Like what?"
"Something Herrmann did with Lee Henry"
"Parenting advice from Herrmann, there's only one way that can end."


"What are we doing at the 21st?" Hannah questioned
"You want to learn to drive?" Kelly questioned
"Yeah, but aren't we supposed to go the DMV?"
"Yeah, but there's another test you have to pass first"
"Like what?"
"You'll see, come on"
Hannah and Kelly walked inside to the 21st.
"Morning Lieutenant" Said Trudy as Hannah and Kelly walked through the door.
"Morning, Is Lindsay around?" Kelly questioned.
"Upstairs, I'll buzz you guys up"
"Are you going to make her talk to me about traffic accidents? Because you've already done that at home and the firehouse" Hannah questioned
"No, now stop guessing" Kelly said as they walked up the stairs
"Why, cause I've already guessed it?" Hannah teased
"Guessed what?" Erin questioned as she went up to Kelly and Hannah
"Someone's trying to figure out what we're doing here" Kelly explained
"Hasn't he told you?" Erin questioned
"You do know my dad right?" Hannah questioned
"OK, I'll put you out if your misery then" Said Kelly, "You are doing a field test"
"What?" Hannah questioned "I'm just going for my learners, not applying to be a cop"
"This is a test to determine if you can get your permit" Kelly explained
"Who am I driving with then?"
"Me if you want" Erin offered
"Ah" Hannah stammered
"Or you can pick someone else"
"Olinsky" Hannah said, knowing he'd be the safest option
"Not me, Lexi was bad enough"
Hannah death stared him, "Thanks" She replied
"Ruzek?"
"Pick someone who can actually drive" Voight added
"Hey, I can drive" Ruzek said, hurt
"Pick someone quick or its Voight" Kelly said
"Uhhhh"
"3, 2 -"
"Jay" Hannah blurted out at the last minute "Shit, should have just kept my mouth shut" Hannah said to herself putting her head in her hands after she finally realised what she said
Jay began to quietly laugh to himself
"It's your funeral" Kelly said to his daughter
"Come on then, try not to get us killed" Jay said as he got his car keys
Hannah looked at her dad "Go on then, try not to kill Jay"
Hannah smiled and followed after Jay

"Have you done your course yet?" Jay questioned
"Nope"
"You ever drove a car before" Jay questioned as he and Hannah go in the car
"Yeah" Hannah replied, "Just not in the city"
"Don't worry, we'll only go the back roads"
Hannah put her seatbelt on and started the car "You still feel like a housewife"
Jay looked at her "Who told you about that?"
"Erin"
"Ok then, that's minus 100 points"
"What?" Hannah questioned
"You picked on your instructor, I'm taking points away for that"
"How many points do I need to pass?"
"For you, 200"
"Is your standard normally higher?"
"No, for anyone else it would be 100"
"Thanks" Hannah replied, unimpressed
"Come on, drive nugget"

"How'd you go?" Kelly asked Hannah as they walked back in
"Ask him" Hannah said with a smirk on her face
"She passed"
"How much did that cost you?" Kelly teased
"Absolutely nothing"
"She's a good driver for a learner. Her parking could be a little better though"
"Parallel?" Kelly asked
"No that's fine, she just can't seem to pull in forwards straight enough"
"That's just because your picky, I was between the lines thank you very much"
"Whatever you say" Jay replied
"So, can I go get my permit now?" Hannah asked, smiling for ear to ear
"A promise is a promise"
Hannah's smile got brighter
"Come on then" Kelly said walking towards the car

"Someone call for a taxi?" Hannah asked as her mum walked over to the car
"You passed" Katherine cheered as she walked over to her daughter
"With one condition" Kelly added
"Only one?" Katherine questioned
"It's not mine, all she has to do is wear her glasses"
"Because of my stupid lazy eye", Hannah added
"Oh well, in a years' time you'll be able to drive me around"
"More like 9 months' time"
"More like a year" Kelly corrected
"You'll see" Hannah replied
"Come on, let's go and get some lunch" Katherine said getting in the car


"Han get her permit?" Casey asked as He, Dawson and Kelly walked up to the firehouse
"Yep, now she won't stop hounding me to go driving"
"She any good?" Dawson questioned
"Pretty good, for a learner"
"Who took her for her "field test"?" Casey asked
"Jay" Kelly replied "She tried for Olinsky but he wasn't having it" He laughed
"Kelly, Matt, Can I speak with you in my office please" Boden asked as he met them at the door
"Sure chief" Casey replied
"What's going on?" Kelly questioned
"Beats me" Matt replied
"What's going on chief?"
"I have just been notified that firehouse 51 is on the short list"
"Shortlist for what chief?" Kelly asked
"Budget cuts meaning McCloud is closing down another firehouse and 51 is on that list"
"They can't do that chief, we are already stretched as is"
"They can and they are. Also, we are losing out candidate" Boden said looking at Casey
"What for"
"We are getting a more senior firefighter which means Jimmy is being bumped out"
"Does he know?"
"Not yet"
"Who's replacing him?"
"I have no idea, but this is Borelli's last shift at 51"
The sirens echoed throughout the firehouse
*Truck 81, Squad 3, Ambulance 61, Multi-vehicle accident, persons trapped*

"Borelli, you're needed in the chief's office. You too lieutenants" Connie said as they began to walk back inside
"What's going on chief?" Borelli questioned as she walked into the chief's office
"Jimmy, There is no easy way of saying this but due to recent budget cuts there is no longer a place for you at 51"
"Why?" Borelli questioned
"It is nothing you have done, we are getting a more senior firefighter from station 18 and-"
"-And being a candidate I'm the first to go"
Boden nodded his head
"But you've still got the rest of this shift. And you never know, a place might come up at another firehouse" Casey added
"Yeah, Thanks" Borelli said walking towards the door, "Thanks for the opportunity Chief" He said walking out
"Chief what about Ambo?" Severide added
"What about it?" He questioned
"We can't keep getting a new relief medic each shift"
"And Borelli's trained, it would be a waste to see him go" Casey added
"I'll make a few phone calls, see what I can do"
Matt and Kelly walked out of the chief's office. Kelly's phone buzzed in his pocket
"Katherine" He said to himself
"What does she want?" Casey asked
"Katherine's going to Naperville next shift"
"What for?"
"Some work thig she says"
"Work?"
"The way I see it it's better not to ask"
"That's married life for you"
"Hey, were only living together not even dating"
"So that means Hannah's sleeping over next shift?"
"If we are even here next shift" Kelly laughed

"Is chief serious?" Brett questioned as she walked up to Borelli
"Yep" Borelli replied "This is my last shift at 51"
"What are you going to do now?"
"See what comes up otherwise I'm sure Danny can pull a few strings for me"
Brett nodded her head and turned to walk away, she hesitated.
"Jimmy Borelli, I'm going to tell you something because there is no point in holding it back now. I've had a huge thing for you since you showed up at 51, and who knows what would have happened if you stayed. Who knows"
Jimmy stood there, unsure of what to say "I'm flattered"
"You should be" Brett said quickly before she walked away
"Why do you look like you've just seen a ghost?" Hannah questioned as she walked up to Borelli
"Nothing" He replied "what are you doing here?"
"Mom's busy, again"
"Doing what"
"I'll let you have one guess, four-letter word, and starts with "W""
"Work?"
"100 points" Hannah replied "Why does everyone look so down?"
"Ask your dad" Borelli replied walking off
"OK then Hannah said to herself walking towards the AP floor
"Hey squirt"
"Hey dad" Hannah replied sitting at the table "Borelli said you had something to explain"
"What does he mean by that?" Severide questioned
"I asked him why does everyone look so down and he said to ask you"
Severide let out a sigh "You know how Firehouse 18 got closed down"
"Yeah" Hannah replied
"There are more budget cuts, and our Firehouse is on that list"
"They can't do that"
"They can and they are" Capp replied
Severide looked at Hannah "Don't you go all lawyer on this, it's going to work itself out"
"What do you mean?" Hannah questioned
"I can tell by that look on your face"
"They're only shooting themselves in the foot, It's going to mess response times"
"Hannah" Kelly repeated
"I've got some homework to do" Hannah said getting up and walking away
"School work only Han" Kelly yelled out
"She's got a point" Tony added
"Don't encourage her Tony"
"Hannah on the warpath?" Casey questioned
"No, I told her about the closures, now who knows what kind of letter she's writing"
"The more that stand up the better"
"Or it could make McCloud's final decision quicker
