Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination and all five kids.

a/n: Thank you to everyone who reviewed the last chapter, you guys rock. So now that Matt and Gabby took the decision to move in together, Kelly and Shay take the kids for the night so I hope you guys enjoy it.


Shay and Kelly drove towards the closest mall where they knew the candy store to be. Once they were inside, the instructed all four kids to choose only two sorts of candies each, having popcorn waiting for them at home too. Once the kids were back in the car, they were all excited but Severide and Shay had to remind them a few times not to touch the candies until after dinner was over and that they movie was on. The first thing that they did when they made it home was unpack the sleeping bags and ordered the pizza.

Shay started by painting Valentine's nails first, knowing that she wold be the first one to fall asleep during the movies. The girls were having fun in the living room while they waited, music souding in the background and they were dancing, the boys in the kitchen.

"What are we going to drink with the pizza?" Luis asked.

"You guys get juice but do you guys like rootbeer?" He leaned against the counter, both boys on a high stool.

"We've never tasted it." Filippe said. Severide was pretty sure that Gabby was the kind of mom that tried feeding her kids healthy things so it didn't surprise him all that much.

"Alright so I'm going to have a treat for you guys after dinner, before we dive into the candy and popcorn." Kelly looked at his watch and figured that pizza would be there soon.

"Can I ask you something Kelly?" Luis with playing with his fingers, a sign Severide guessed was one of nervousness.

"Sure bud, ask away."

"Is your daddy in heaven?" Severide was taken aback by the question for a second but he was sure the boy needed someone to talk.

"No he's not but he wasn't there when I was growing up. What's really on your mind bud?" He let him take his time to answer and tell him was bothering him, Filippe simply listening to his brother.

"Why did he leave?" Bring curious by nature, he always wanted to know how things worked and he didn't fully understand what was happening in his life.

"He stopped loving my mom so he left us."

"Is that why daddy went in heaven? Because he didn't love mom anymore?"

"Absolutely not. Your daddy was sick but he never stopped loving your mom. My dad left me and my mom for someone else and he started a new family with them."

"Did mom stop loving dad? Is that why she's with Matt?" It was hard for Kelly to understand how a person that small could have so many deep questions going through his mind.

"No. Your mom still loves your dad with all her heart but she was sad when she met Matt and they became friends first because she was thinking about you but your mom is still young and she needs someone else to love but your daddy will always be in her heart, just like he'll always be in yours and she'll always think about him too."

Both Luis and Filippe seemed to be thinking about what Kelly had said, simply nodding their heads as the doorbell rang. Kelly let Shay answer, giving the boys a little more time to process what Kelly had told them but as soon as the girls game running in, each a box of pizza in their hands, they boys began smiling again and they took a seat at the table and Shay worked on the distribution of the pizza. The kids seemed to be very hungry because between all five kids and the two adults, the first large pizza dissapeared within minutes.

All four kids broke into a funny faces contest, making both Kelly and Shay laugh as they ate, Kelly almost choking at one of the faces Filippe had done.

"Alright, who's up for desert?" Severide asked as they finished putting the dinner dishes away. A chorus of me's was shouted through the kitchen, Shay laughing and grabbing glasses to start making desert.

"What are we having?" Emma asked, her eyes shinning in anticipation.

"Rootbeer floats."

"YAY!" Both girls yelled.

"That's right, the best desert EVER." Kelly said, grabbing the ice cream out of the fridge, making them first for the boys, who had never tasted them before. They were each given a straw and a spoon and invited to dive in. Luis was the first to dive in without any thought, Filippe looking at his brother for an initial reaction. After taking the first bite and not having any reaction, as if tasting to make sure it was good, he took his spoon and dug in, putting a bigger bite in his mouth.

"This is the best. Come on Filippe, stop being a scardy cat and dig in." Emma said, her float already half gone. Filippe slowly dipped his spoon in the glass and brought it to his mouth.

"It's really good." He smiled.

"I told you so." Emma poked him, making him laugh. The kids had one each, Kelly and Shay making themselves a bigger version of one before everyone got in their pj's and in their sleeping bags

"Aright, is everyone settled in? They had already picked two movies that all four managed to agree on after a few minutes.

"We're all good uncle Kelly." Grace said from deep inside her purple sleeping bag.

"Alright, let's get this party started." The kids each had their small bowl of popcorn and candies and Kelly turned the light off, making it look like a real movie theater, everyone falling silent as the movie started.

"This was a great idea Kelly." Shay whispered from under her own blanket, sitting next to Kelly who held the bowl of popcorn.

"Yeah it was fun."

"What's up Kelly?" Shay knew when something was on his mind.

"Something Luis said in the kitchen before pizza got here. I don't know if I should mention it to Gabby."

"Something about the move and their dad?"

"Yeah." He looked at both boys who were engrossed in the movie.

"She told me he might say something. Just tell her so she knows what to look for."

"Good idea."

"Alright you goof, let's just the movie." She snuggled closer to his side and they watched Planes, the kids falling one by one of exhaustion.


Matt and Gabby took care of the boxes of Thai food that were left and settled into the couch to watch a movie.

"How do you think it's going at Shay and Severide?"

"I'm pretty sure that they'd call if something big happened."

"I guess you're right."

"Let's just enjoy this tonight because starting tomorrow, things are going to get crazy around here." Gabby knew Matt was right because they needed to go on the hunt for a new place that would be able to house all of them. The end of the school year was looming and it would be a perfect time for a move, not having to work around more complicated schedules than those of work.

Matt and Gabby fell asleep on the couch while watching their movie, both more exhausted that they had let on. Gabby jumped as her phone and Matt's dinged. She looked at the message from Shay that everything was going smoothly and that everyone was now sleeping.

"Who is it?" Matt asked grogily.

"Shay." She whispered. "Everyone's sleeping, said to have a good night."

"Ok. Why don't we go in bed?" Sure he was comfortable sleeping there with his arms wrapped around her like this but maybe she could be better up there.

"Nah, I like it here." She snuggled back into him as he smiled, both of them falling asleep quickly.

Matt woke up with some light pouring from the kitchen and when they looked at the clock on the dvd player, Matt had to do a double check on his cell phone to make sure that he wasn't imaginating anything.

"What's wrong baby?" Gabby stirred next to him.

"It's ten in the morning." Gabby suddenly shot up next to him.

"Oh my god. This wasn't part of the deal." She ran a hand through her hair. "We said we'd go get them early."

"It's fine." He held his phone for her to read.

"I'm going to have to hug them when we get there." She smiled. Kelly had said to take their time, the kids having eaten pancakes in front of cartoons.

"So that way we can have breakfast quietly together, we can bring some lunch over when we go."

"Sounds like a plan." They took their time to shower and change together, enjoying these few alone moments together before they texted Severide that they'd stop for hot dogs on their way to them, lunch time looming. They drove with their fingers linked together and when Severide opened the door, they were attacked by five sets of arms, Matt nearly toppling over.

"Take it easy guys." He laughed, handing the large bag to Kelly and managing to get out of their grip, Gabby not being so lucky.

"Who wants lunch?" That was enough for all the kids to scatter, leaving Valentina to be lifted by her mother. They settled the kids in the living room to eat, leaving them alone to talk. "So how did it go?" She looked towards the living room.

"It went great but Luis asked a few questions about heaven and love and about the two of you being together and missing his dad.

"I'm sorry you had to be at the other end of that."

"Don't worry about it. My dad might not be dead but Benny didn't make my childhood easy. It's a great kid that had a tough thing happen to him, he'll bounce back."

"Thanks, the two of you."

"You know we love these kids as much as we love Grace and Emma." Shay wrapped her into a tight hug.

"I love you guys too." After they had lunch, they packed everything and headed back home, the next few weeks to be chaotic at best.


a/n: I know this chapter is a little bit shorter than the other ones but I thought it was fitting. I hope you guys liked it and next up, we'll see the kids finish the schhool year while Matt and Gabby start the hunt for a new place to call their own.

Please take a few seconds to review, I always love to know what you guys thought of it :)-Sarra
