It's been a little over 4 years since the aid car crash. Today Ashton's preschool was coming to the station for a field trip.
"Wow you look like you're about to pop." Maya said as Andy and Robert walked into the reception area.
"You know I'm pretty sure you said the same exact thing the day before I had Ash." she said, walking over to the table and taking a seat.
"Well I mean you do." she said, grabbing her coffee mug and sitting down beside her.
"Yeah I know. I'm pretty sure she is going to be bigger than he was when he was born." she said.
"Speaking of my favorite nephew, isn't he coming to the station today?" she asked, neither of them noticing that Sullivan had walked out.
"Yep, his preschool is coming by the station for a tour today so he will be here for about an hour and then he's going back to school." she said, standing up. "Well I'm going to go get ready for another 24 hour shift of paper work."
"Have fun." Maya joked.
"Haha so funny." Andy hollered from the stairs.
"The school will be here in about 20 minutes." Robert said as he heard the door open.
"Damn it Robert, you can't just sit in my office and start talking before I even get a chance to see if anyone is in here." she said, still a little startled by Robert.
"I'm sorry. Sometimes I forget this isn't my office anymore." he said, walking over to her and wrapping her in a hug.
"Rob I have been captain for almost a year now. Your office is upstairs, Mr. battalion chief." she said, kissing him.
"Well sorry captain." he said as he kissed her but pulled back as she winced in pain. "Andy are you having contractions?"
"No they are just braxton hicks." she said.
"Andy you are only 2 and a half weeks away from your due date." he said, placing his hands on her stomach.
"Robert I'm fine." she said. "I need to change before the school gets here."
"Ok. Fine but if anything changes, and I mean anything Andrea." when he said 'Andrea' she knew he was serious. "You come find me. No matter what I'm doing."
"Ok I will. Now go so I can change." she said, playfully pushing him out of her office.
~15 minutes later~
"Hey Ands they're here." Robert said, sticking his head in her office door.
"Ok, I'm coming." she said, getting out of her chair. "19 line up in the barn!" she said right before the kids walked in.
"Hi guys and welcome to station 19." he said as the students and their teacher walked into reception.
"Hi mommy, hi daddy!" Ashton said excitedly as he ran over and gave them a hug.
"Ashton go get back in line with your class." Robert scolded him.
"Thank you so much for letting us come and visit Mr and Mrs Sullivan." the teacher, Ms.Julie said.
"Its no problem." he said.
"I'm Captain Herrera and this is my boss Chief Sullivan." she said.
"That's so cool your parents are fire fighters." they heard one of Ashton's friends whisper to him. "If you guys would follow us into the barn we can see the trucks and meet the rest of the team." she continued.
They went down the line and introduced the whole team before they showed them the trucks. It took almost an hour to get through the whole station. Luckily Robert remembered to call Ripley and ask him to take them off of rotation so they didn't get any calls during the tour.
About an hour later Robert and Andy were sitting in the beanery, Robert was making them smoothies.
"Umm Robert we might have to come back to smoothies later." Andy said, standing out of her seat.
"Why?" he asked, turning around and not seeing the fact that her water had just broke.
"Because our daughter doesn't want to wait till after you've made smoothies to come out." she said.
"Wait what." he said, quickly turning off the blender and heading to her side.
"Yep. Now lets get down to the car so we can go." she said.
"How are you not panicking?" he asked as he climbed into the drivers side of the car.
"Because we have done this before and I'm not in that much pain yet." she said as she breathed through a contraction.
About 3 hours later, Andy lay in bed, caressing her daughter's cheeks, memorizing every little feature when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." she said, knowing exactly who it was.
"Mama!" the little boy said excitedly, rushing over to the side of the bed where his father lifted him and sat him gently on the side of the bed.
"Hey bub." she said, kissing his head. "Did you tell the team?"
"Yeah, they said they would be here in 10. They have to get cleaned up from a call then they are heading over." he said. "They'll only be able to stay for about 30-45 minutes since they are still on shift."
"I finally get to see my favorite nephew and my new niece in the same place!" Maya said excitedly walking into the room.
"Well thanks for knocking Maya." Andy said.
"Well do we finally get to know her name now?" Vic asked.
Everyone laughed because usually Travis was the impatient one and Vic was the most patient.
"My sissy's name is Emily Brooke." Ash said as everyone couldn't take their eyes off of the cute scene between him and the baby.
Everyone got to hold her before they were called away to a 5 alarm. Both the Sullivan kids were asleep as Robert and Andy cuddled together, Emily in Robert's arms and Ash laying between the both of them.
"She is so going to be a daddy's girl." Andy said.
"Well its almost fair since he is a mama's boy." Robert said, kissing her forehead.
"I thought it was crazy when we first had him but then, here we lay with a 4 year old and new born." she said. "This, this is everything I've ever wanted."
"What is?" he asked.
"This, you, the love of my life, our amazing kids, our family, and the job I have always dreamed of. " she said.
"I love you Andrea." he said, kissing her lips.
"I love you too." she said, resting her head on his shoulder as she started to drift off to sleep.
