So I've taken a different approach to this story just to warn everyone this won't be a happy ending.
It was 3 nights away from Matt and Sylvie's wedding, and all of 51 plus their spouses are at Molly's celebrating Matt and Sylvie.
Sylvie is sitting with Stella, Foster, violet and chloe
Stella raises her glass and the rest follow as she starts to speak "let's drink to our Sylvie finally, and I mean finally marrying the one and only Matt Casey." All the girls raised their glasses and toast to "Sylvie and Matt" as Sylvie just giggles as she drinks her sparkling cider.
"So how does it feel to finally be marrying him?" Foster asks as she nods her head towards the captain that can't keep his eyes off his soon to be wife.
Sylvie looks in the direction that Emily is nodding to, Sylvie sees matt looking at her and smiling, she returns the smile, then says "amazing 100% amazing. " Sylvie says smiling into her glass.
The girls all laugh. After a while Herman clinks a beer bottle, to get everyone's attention.
"Okay so now that I got all your guys attention, let's toast to the happy couple we are celebrating tonight." Herman says as everyone cheers and Stella and Emily push Matt and Sylvie into the center of Molly's.
"Now I know there will be tons of toasts at the wedding but I want to say mine now." Herman says, takes a breath then says "Casey I have known you since you were a cocky candidate, now your captain and marry the love of your life. We have all seen the game of cat and mouse you two played for way too long." Herman pauses as everyone, including Matt and Sylvie laugh as Matt pulls Sylvie closer to him and kisses her hair. "Now I hope you guys have a wonderful and long life together. I have seen both of you go through to much heartache. Sylvie I have seen you grow into such an amazing paramedic and watching your guys love bloom has really been a treasure. If I can give you one piece of advice, specially in our line of work, never go to sleep angry. . "Herman says and everyone agrees with him. "let's raise a glass to Matt and Sylvie, The soon to be Casey's." Herman says raising his bottle and everyone follows suit.
Matt kisses Sylviie at that moment tenderly and sweetly. After a beat matt takes the attention of the crowd and looks at Sylvie then says, "Thank you Herman, that means a lot." Matt pauses and then says "well sylvie what do you think of finally telling everyone the gender of our baby." Matt says and Stella and Emily squeal in excitement. Sylvie laughs and says "well we could keep them in suspense. " she teases her two best friends as they shoot her a pointed look.
Matt laughs then says "I think we best tell them before Stella and Emily kills me." Everyone laughs and Sylvie nods in agreement.
"We are having a boy!" Matt yells.
Everyone cheers and applauds.
Everyone comes around them and hugs them and congratulates them.
"So what's his name?" Emily and Stella says in unison, as them and severide, chole, Joe, violet and gallo all gather around them.
"Alexander Matthew Andrew casey." Matt says looking at sylvie then to severide as the two are reminded of their best friend.
"He would of loved it, hell his head would of swelled twice its size at that honour." Kelly says patting matt on the back, everyone but matt, Severide, Joe, sylvie and stella, didn't understand.
"Andrew, well andy was matt and Kelly's best friend he died, before I came to 51." Sylvie explains.
"Oh," gallo, violet, chloe,and foster all said in unison.
"I think, he would love it, and I think he would be proud of both of us, finally following in his footsteps of settling down." Matt said to Kelly as they broke away from the crowd, to have a moment of honoring andy.
Even though kelly and stella aren't pregnant they are settling down more than matt or andy ever thought he would.
"I think so let's drink to that!."
Kelly said raising his glass to andy.
The night went on for a while and then everyone went home to rest up for the next days shift..
But no one was really ready for what was about to happen that day…
