Benny watched as Georgie, Kelly and the twins left the park. Once they were out of sight he took out his phone and texted Hank and Wallace.
Why are my children ignoring me?
Benny are you serious right now?
Kelly and Georgie are adults, adults you've ignored for several years so forgive me if they don't want anything to do with you!
I don't want anything to do with you either, leave them alone!
I'm not leaving it alone I want to get to know my children and grandchildren.
You leave MY grandchildren out of this, I've been there from day one, they call me Grandpappy and if you think you can just squirm your way in, forget it. I'll bury you before that happens!
Hank no one is killing anyone, let's meet at Standing point and discuss this as adults. And Hank leave your gun in your truck! Are we in agreement?
Yes!
OK fine!
See you there and do I need my helmet? Just in case?
Benny just smiles and heads towards Standing point and to see his two friends he hadn't seen in almost twelve years, meanwhile Wallace had sent a text to Kelly and Georgie inviting them to Standing point.
Hank, Benny and I at Standing point, take the twins to 51 and come join us.
Georgie nodded and drove towards 51, driving onto the apparatus floor behind Squad three, they all get out. Alex and Abi were jumping up and down in excitement and smiled as Cruz and Otis approached them.
"Hi Joe, hi Brian"
"Hey twinkles"
Georgie raises an eyebrow "Brian? Twinkles?"
Otis smiles and points at himself "Yes Brian" he then points at Alex and Abi "Twinkles"
Georgie smiles and shakes her head pointing at Cruz, Otis, Alex and Abi "Be good!"
"The rest of the firehouse won't know they are here trust me"
"It's not Alex and Abi I'm worried about, love you guys"
"Aww we love you too"
Georgie laughs at Cruz and gets back into her SUV and reverses out of 51 and leaves the twins with Cruz and Otis, little did she know that chaos would occur a mere twenty minutes after she left. Georgie and Kelly arrived at Standing point the same time Wallace and Hank did.
"Hey you two"
"Chief"
Georgie smiles and kisses the side of Wallace's face "Chief, dad"
"Georgie, Kelly. I'm sorry G"
"Save it, I'm here to hear the excuses once everyone is here"
Benny arrives and notices Georgie and Kelly standing beside each other and along side their Chief.
"What are they doing here?"
Georgie looked at Kelly and then back at Benny "We are your children but you would know that if you even bothered with us!"
Georgie points at Hank "You see that man there, he's my dad and nothing you say or do will change that. Sure he drives me insane and I hate him right now but he's been there through periods, puberty, hell he took me to get my first sanitary products at fourteen, he was there with me when I gave birth, I'm Georgie Alex Powell-Voight I'll never be a Severide!"
Hank smiles and wipes at his eyes "Aww thanks G, love you too"
"Why didn't you mention that my dad was Benny Severide? I had to find out from my brother, you should have told me, even told Kelly, you're just as a bigger ass than he is!"
Benny sighed "He did it to protect you, when your mom told me she was pregnant I told her to get rid and when she didn't I left her"
Georgie burst into tears "History repeated itself with me, Benny Severide you will never have any rights to me or my children, you lost those rights twenty-seven years ago. Now get out of my sight!"
Georgie stormed away and sat on top of Battalion 25, Wallace walked over to Georgie and pulled her into a hug, Georgie sobbed into Wallace's chest, meanwhile Kelly was pacing in front of Benny and Hank.
"Hank go be with Georgie"
"Sorry Kelly I can't do that"
"Fine! Benny I can never forgive you for what you did and have just said to my baby sister, you don't deserve anything from us, I have a great man in my life who helped me throughout my career in the CFD, Wallace Boden made me the man I am today and he's more of a dad than you ever will be, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, now get out of my sight!"
"Kelly I'm sorry truly to you both, I was young and stupid, I'm now old and stupid. I know at this present moment you don't want me in your life but can I keep in contact? That includes Georgie"
"I'm not answering that right now, you've hurt my sister so now I hurt you!"
Kelly punched Benny in the mouth, Hank pulled him away and held his arms "Kelly go be with Georgie, she needs you"
Kelly glared at Benny before nodding at Hank "Thank you"
Hank smiles "You're welcome son"
Kelly walks away from Hank and Benny and towards Georgie and Wallace "Feel better?"
"Oh you have no idea Chief"
Wallace and Kelly have a manly hug, Georgie hugs their waists and giggles as they both lift her up and into the hug more, Benny watches as his children show more affection to Wallace than him, Georgie breaks off from the hug and walks up to Hank.
Hank raises his arms in front of his face "You're not going to hit me like your brother did to Benny?"
Georgie pulls his arms down "No dad, I love you so much, come for dinner tomorrow night please?"
"Definitely, shall I bring cake?"
Georgie giggles "Yes if you must as long as it doesn't explode all over us again"
"Noted, see you tomorrow baby girl"
Georgie hugs Hank again "Love you dad, Benny!"
Georgie jogs away and jumps into her SUV and back to 51 to rescue Alex and Abi from Cruz and Otis, little did she know they didn't need rescuing it was everyone else.
Over at 51 Casey, Stella and Sylvie were shouting at Cruz and Otis currently sat on top 81 with Alex and Abi looking down at the chaos, poor Tony could only see from his eyes up, the apparatus floor was currently covered in foam with no escape, the four bodies sat on top of 81 found it hilarious as Herrmann walked past covered head to toe in foam followed by Mouch.
Herrmann pointed up at 81 "I'm going to kill them!"
Alex giggles "Sorry Uncle Herrmann"
Herrmann blew a raspberry which made a wave of foam hit Mouch in the middle of the forehead "Hey watch out!"
"Sorry Uncle Mouch"
"You little lady are in so much trouble when your mom gets back!"
"Yes I want to take 51 out of service for a foam infestation"
Matt rolls his eyes "Well put it this way if it gets any higher I'm going to lose some of my firefighters under it, with no hope of them returning"
"Thanks for making me feel short!"
"Sorry Tony, you are Tony right? Could you stand on a chair or table?"
"Captain I would if I knew where they were"
"Ahh I see, sorry wrong choice of words"
Suddenly the automatic doors started to rise and Battalion 25 and Georgie's SUV pulled in, Georgie stops and looks at the chaos and foam, opening her door and climbing up on to the hood of the car she spots Cruz, Otis, Alex and Abi on top of 81 laughing their heads off. Georgie looks at the foam and then her car, climbing back down and getting into the drivers seat she reverses back out and leaves the car on the apron, Georgie and Kelly exchange looks and walk back into the apparatus floor.
"Oh my god!"
Georgie looked over at her Chief doubled over in giggles, to then hear Kelly groan from somewhere in the foam.
"Kelly you ok?"
Kelly's hand appears from under the foam in a 'Ok' jester "Who left what feels like a Halligan on the floor?"
"Sorry Lieutenant"
"Tony? Tony where the hell are you?"
Georgie burst into giggles as all that could be seen of Tony was his baseball cap slowly making his way towards Kelly.
"Jesus Christ Tony!"
"Sorry Lieutenant"
"Well at least I can see you now I suppose, need a boost?"
"I'm not going to dignify that with an answer Lieutenant"
Georgie stopped giggling and made her way towards 81 and the four children sat on top of it, on approach she slipped and disappeared into the foam, Wallace stopped laughing and went to where Georgie was last spotted, felt around and found her. He pulled her up and laughed again she was a walking advertisement for foam, she glared at him before turning to Alex and Abi.
"Both of you get down right now!"
"Mom sorry"
"Yeah!"
Otis is still giggling "That was so much fun"
Georgie glared at him "I meant urhh sorry"
"Get down you moron and help clear up!"
Otis and Cruz saluted Georgie, who shook her head and stood beside Wallace "Can we exchange them for adults Chief"
"I'm afraid not" Wallace waved at Alex and Abi "Come on guys I've got you"
Wallace stepped forward and disappeared into the foam and yelled loudly "WHO LEFT THEIR BOOTS BY 81? JESUS CHRIST!"
"Chief you ok?"
"Georgie help me up"
Georgie grabs Wallace by the collar of his shirt and with some unknown strength hauls him to his feet, she takes one look at his right wrist and starts to giggle, Wallace looks down at his wrist "Don't even say it"
Georgie moves her hand over her mouth in a zipper motion even though she's dying of laughter inside, she walks Wallace to her car and then walks back to the apparatus floor "Casey you close by?"
"Give me a min...ute , woah" Matt stands out of the foam "I wasn't but I am now"
"I need to take the Chief to Med, wrist fracture, you ok with clean up?"
"Sure, to get back inside I'm walking around and going in through the side door anymore people falling over we could have all the colours of the rainbow for our casts"
Georgie laughed "Any suggestions for the Chief?"
"Green?"
Georgie patted Matt's arm and walks over to her car, getting in she laughs as Kelly is standing up and holding Tony above the foam, who were both waving bye. Georgie looks over at her Chief obviously in a lot of pain "Chief you ok?"
"Not really, trying to put on the brave face"
"Chief its just you and me, let it go!"
"JESUS CHRIST! Pull over"
Georgie quickly pulled over and sat in the drivers side as Wallace threw up at the side of the road, once he was finished he sat in the car eyes closed and he rested his head on the head rest, Georgie grabbed two water bottles from the boot passed one to Wallace and poured the other over the vomit to clear it from the path.
"G thanks"
"Not a problem, want me to ring Donna?"
Wallace nods and regrets it instantly "Could you?"
"Of course"
Georgie dials Donna's number Hey Donna, Wallace wanted me to ring you, were on our way to Med.
Oh god why?
It's a long story which involved vast amounts of foam, look he's in bad shape, can you get to Med?
I've got Terence.
I'll watch him, Donna he needs you not me.
OK I'm on my way see you there.
See you soon.
Georgie disconnected the call and looked over to Wallace who had his eyes closed and breathing deeply, Georgie pulled back into traffic and arrived at Med ten minutes later, she noticed Donna and Terence walking towards Med.
"Donna over here"
Donna and Terence walked back to Georgie and Wallace "Hey! Wallace how you feeling?"
"Really don't ask"
Georgie looked down at Terence looking at his daddy "Hey little man I'm Georgie I'm your daddies friend, how old are you?"
"I'm four, nearly five"
"Oh I stand corrected hey big man, look your as tall as I am"
Terence giggles "You're funny"
"Why thank you, I'm here all week"
Donna mouthed thank you to Georgie and helped Wallace into Med, Terence walked with Georgie and held her right hand "You hurt too?"
Georgie lifted Terence onto her shoulders he squealed in delight "Yeah I am, but this cool cast is helping me heal, cool isn't it"
"Yep, Georgie?"
"Yeah?"
"Can I be the first person to draw on your cast?"
"Sure thing buddy, hey let's go get some crayons or felt tips from the shop and you can draw on my cast, what do you think?"
Terence looks at his mommy and daddy "Can I?"
Donna nods and smiles as Terence squeals in delight again "Be a good boy for Georgie Terence"
"Will do mommy, get better soon daddy"
Wallace smiles through his pain "I will do little man, thanks G"
"No problem, Wallace Greens a good colour"
"Wait? What? Oh noted"
Georgie and Terence walk away, leaving Wallace and Donna smiling. Terence was a shy child never far from Donna or Wallace and here he was off on a mini adventure with Georgie to go get crayons or felt tips.
"Now that was a surprise"
"Georgie's great, she has eight year old twins Alex and Abi, they are wonderful kids Donna"
"Wallace?"
"Well you know how Kelly's my adopted son, well Georgie's under my wing too even though her actual dad is none other that Hank Voight"
"Well that wasn't expected but that's fine, Georgie looks really young"
"She's twenty-seven years old and her mom was my best friend many years ago, you know if times had of been different I'd of been Georgie's dad"
Wallace and Donna walked into the x ray department and waited at the desk "Hi welcome to x ray, name please?"
"Wallace Boden"
"Thanks please take a seat"
Wallace and Donna take a seat, Donna took hold of Wallace's left hand "Speak to me Wallace"
"I was asked by Alex if anything happened to her that I was to look after Georgie, but being a single man they wouldn't allow it, they wanted to put her into care, I couldn't allow that so I asked Hank and Camille to take her"
"Oh Wallace, you could have been Georgie's dad"
"I know it's what Alex wanted and it hurts that I couldn't do it"
"Wallace you need to tell Georgie all this, no secrets"
Wallace nods and hugs and kisses Donna "When they get back I'll talk to Georgie, thank you Donna for understanding"
Donna laughed "God can you imagine how that would have gone when I first met you, oh hi Donna my name is Wallace and I have a twenty-three year old daughter"
"How would you of reacted?"
"With the same amount of love then as I do now, your a wonderful man Wallace Patrick Boden"
"Wallace Boden?"
"Here, see you soon"
Donna kissed the side of Wallace's face and smiled as Terence and Georgie walked in felt tips and ice cream in hand "Look mommy G got me an ice cream"
"I hope you used your manners Terence Boden?"
Terence nodded his head rather enthusiastically and ended up with ice cream on his forehead, Donna and Georgie giggled "Aww T man your meant to eat it not wear it"
Terence giggles loudly "I know GG"
"Still want to draw on my cast? Remember leave room for Alex and Abi little buddy"
"Ooh yes please"
Georgie puts her right wrist out and smiles as Terence draws on part of her cast, Terence turns to his mommy "Did you know that GG has two children? Alex and Abi?"
"I sure did, you looking forward to meeting them?"
"Sure am mommy, GG says I can have a sleep over, can Mr Monkey go?"
Georgie ruffles Terence's hair "Sure thing buddy, I'll tell you a little secret"
Georgie looks around the room and whispers into Terence's ear "I still sleep with my Teddy bear"
Terence nods and smiles and puts his finger up to his mouth "Daddy?!"
"Hi buddy, you ok?"
"Yeah I went to the shop and got felt tips and a ice cream, you OK daddy?"
"I'm OK, I'm thinking if you're finished with Georgie that I could borrow her?"
"Why?"
"Well you see daddy needs Georgie to take him to the plaster room to get a cast just like hers"
"In pink daddy?"
"Well not quite like Georgie's then"
Georgie giggles "Actually I think pink will suit you"
"Ooh yes daddy pink like GG"
Wallace smiled and hugged Terence and nodded at Donna, Georgie hugged Terence and smiled at Donna.
"Bye GG I love you, bye daddy love you"
"Bye T Man love you too"
Georgie and Wallace walked towards the plaster room, Wallace kept doing a excellent impression of a goldfish Georgie noticed and stopped walking "Chief what is it?"
"Georgie please call me Wallace?" Georgie nodded and Wallace patted her hand "I need to tell you something and I'm not sure if it will upset you and I don't want it to. I find it difficult that I couldn't do it all those years ago, maybe now I can make up for lost time?"
"Wallace take a deep breath and go for it"
"I...ok" Wallace took in a deep breath and looked directly into Georgie's eyes "I knew your mom even before she met Benny, we were best friends people even thought we were going to start dating, that would have never happened. When your mom had you I was there, I cut your cord and put your first diaper on. Your mom asked me when you were two years old that if anything happened to her that I'd take you"
Wallace pulled a crying Georgie into his side "I tried so help me I tried they wouldn't let me, single man taking on a four year old little girl they weren't keen, wanted to put you into the system I refused them, I asked Hank and Camille to take you and they did. Georgie I hate myself for not fulfilling your moms wishes back then, but I'm hoping now I have the chance? I know that Hank is your dad no matter what, but I hope you can see in your heart to let me be your dad just as your mom wished, please Georgie?"
Georgie nodded and hugged Wallace tightly "I'm lucky to have you in my life, two dads I'm one lucky girl, now go get your pink cast for me and my little brother daddy dearest"
Wallace laughed and walked into the plaster room, twenty minutes later he walked back out with a pink cast on and smiling as Georgie kissed him on the cheek "Come on dad, I want to show little T our matching casts"
Wallace and Georgie walked back towards Donna and Terence who were stood beside Georgie's SUV, as soon as Terence saw Georgie he started jumping up and down in excitement "GG can I go in your car?"
"Aww T man I haven't got you a car seat for my car, sorry buddy"
"It's OK, but can you get one?"
Georgie giggles "Sure thing little man" Georgie pulled Donna into a hug and whispered in her ear "Can I call you mom now?"
"Terence go to the car with daddy, I want to talk to Georgie"
"Ok mommy"
Terence and Wallace walk away and Donna hugs Georgie "It would be a pleasure you calling me mom, I have to stay Terence loves you, he never does that with anyone other than me and Wallace"
"Wait till he finds out I'm his big sister, mom when can we tell him?"
Donna smiles as Georgie gets really excited "We can tell him when we get to them"
Georgie pulls Donna towards the passenger side of the car, opens it and gets Donna to sit down, Georgie got into the drivers seat and drove towards Donna's SUV where Wallace stood with Terence's car seat at his feet.
"Did you do that by yourself Wallace?"
"No mommy I helped, I really want to go in GG's car mommy, daddy said I could, can I mommy?"
"Sure let me get your car seat into Georgie's car"
"Need my help? You might have to move one of the twins car seats to the middle, not having T Man in the middle"
"No I've got this, you need to talk to Terence"
"Oh of course" Georgie got out of her car and crouched down in front of Terence "Hey T Man what would you say if you had a sister?"
"I'd like it, someone to play with"
"Yeah and have sleep overs and road trips"
"GG you're silly a baby can't do those things, till they are your age"
"True, but think about it buddy"
"GG I'm not following?"
"I'm the age where we can do all those things and more, T Man I'm your sister!"
Terence looks from his mommy, to daddy and then Georgie "Really?"
Georgie nods and holds out her arms "Sure thing buddy, we tell the truth always in this family"
"Its true little man, Georgie's your big sister"
"You excited?"
Terence smiles "Yes mommy, I can't wait to meet Alex and Abi, will they like me?"
Georgie lifted Terence into her arms and hugged him "Yes they'll love you just as much as I love you, want to get them from the firehouse?"
"Yeah! Then can we go get Mr Monkey so I can stay with you GG?"
"Sure thing T" Georgie whispered into Terence's ear "We need to go shopping to get anything you want for your bedroom at my house"
"Really? Whoops said that loudly sorry GG"
Wallace pointed at Georgie and Terence "What are you two planning?"
"Nothing daddy"
"No secrets buddy" Georgie put Terence into his car seat and fastened him in and turned towards Donna and Wallace "All I said is we need to go shopping so he could get whatever he wanted for his bedroom at my house"
"Georgie!"
"What? I have a spare room not being used, its Terence's all three kids have their own rooms, its a four bedroomed house, my mom left me money so I brought my house at twenty and this car at twenty-one and now I'm going to spoil" Georgie smiles at Donna and Wallace "I meant buy what my little brother needs for his bedroom"
Donna laughs "You mean spoil?"
Georgie smiles and nods "Oh you have no idea, a car seat for my car too for Terence"
"Get car seats for my SUV too"
Wallace nods "Best not forget mine either, we'll pay for the two sets of car seats for the twins"
"You both sure?"
Wallace waves his left hand over his head "Go woman, see you at the firehouse"
Georgie laughed shut all car doors and drove to 51, followed closely by Donna and Wallace, Terence sat quietly in his car seat and Georgie could see him biting his lip.
"T Man what's up buddy?"
"Nothing GG"
"Terence remember no secrets"
"I don't want to go to school anymore?"
"Why? Are you struggling in lessons?"
"No lessons are easy, I don't like it because I get bullied"
"By who?"
"Older kids"
"What do they say or do?"
"They call me a midget nerd and push me around"
"Do mom and dad know?"
Terence shakes his head "Only you GG, I know we say no secrets but please can this just be between us? Please?"
"Sure thing buddy, you can always talk to me. Which school do you go to?"
"Hayden Grange"
"Same school as Alex and Abi, how have you three never met?"
Terence shrugs his shoulders, Georgie smiles at him through his mirror "Don't worry anymore as soon as Alex and Abi meet you and when they learn this they'll protect you, protect their Uncle"
Terence smiles and then gets excited when they pull onto the south side apron stopping beside a gleaming Squad three and a slightly dishevelled Tony.
"Hey Georgie"
"Hey you ok?"
"Better now that I can see"
"How bad did it get?"
"Well Lieutenant Severide had to give me a piggy back to the common room"
Georgie giggles and pats Tony's arm "Sorry I shouldn't laugh, where are my kids?"
"Lieutenant Severide got them scrubbing the big sauce pans by a toothbrush"
"Thanks, go shower and change you look uncomfortable"
Tony nods "You have no idea, Georgie? Thanks"
"For what?"
"Bringing Alex and Abi into our life's, they are a credit to you, even if they are mischievous, even though it was extremely uncomfortable for me I found it very creative and funny, but don't tell any of them I said that?"
"My lips are sealed, Tony you should really talk more, even if its too me. Can you not talk to anyone here?"
"I don't enter conversations easily, but with you it just seems to happen, I don't make friends easily either"
Georgie hugs Tony "You've got a friend right here, now go shower because frankly you stink!"
"Charming" Tony sniffs his shirt "I stand corrected, bye Georgie"
Georgie smiles as Tony walks away and she opens the door and finds Terence asleep in his car seat all the excitement tired him out, Georgie gently unfastened the car seat belt and lifted Terence into her arms, shutting the car door with her hip she walks into 51 and to the common room when Mouch notices her he moves from the couch and takes Terence from her arms.
"I've got him Georgie"
"Thank you, you with me right now!"
Alex and Abi get up quickly and stand by their mom, Georgie glared at Otis and Cruz "You two as well!"
Cruz and Otis run towards Georgie and into the briefing room, everyone else in the common room giggled and sat around waiting for Georgie's reaction they soon got it.
"BRIAN ZVONECEK, JOE CRUZ, ALEXANDER POWELL, ABIGAIL POWELL! WHAT PROCESSED YOU TO DO THAT?"
"We didn't mean to"
"Really? The apparatus floor was covered in foam, Casey had to take 51 out of service because we almost lost Tony in the foam"
Alex, Abi, Cruz and Otis started the giggling, Georgie glared at them "Stop laughing, now is not the time for laughing, you four caused chaos and now Chief Boden has a broken right wrist like me and Kelly! I don't think you realise how stupid you all have been!"
Georgie looks at Cruz and Otis "You two are the adults here or so I thought"
"Sorry Georgie"
"Yeah we obviously didn't think this through, but it was funny"
Alex, Abi and Cruz at exactly the same time raise their hand to their foreheads and groaned, Otis looks at them and then back at Georgie "I meant...urmm...sorry"
"They are eight years old, as adults they look up to you so from now on can you not do these idiotic things in the firehouse what you do on your own time is none of my business"
Otis raises his hand as if asking his teacher permission to go use the bathroom, Georgie rolls her eyes "Yes Otis?"
"So just to clarify if we wanted to do some creative things in our own time, you'd not bat an eyelid?"
Georgie shakes her head, Otis smiles "Awesome"
Georgie smiled and walked out into the common room to find Kelly and Wallace stood beside the big sauce pans.
"You two go wait by your moms car, take Terence with you" Wallace watches as the three kids move out of the common room and onto the apparatus floor to Donna "You two can finish these pots and then your on cleaning duty for the foreseeable future I would say firehouse cooks but I'm not going to subject everyone to that for safety and common sense alone, now get at it!"
Otis and Cruz grab the toothbrushes and start scrubbing, Wallace grabs his duffle and follows Georgie out on to the apparatus floor and towards both SUV's, Kelly joins them a few minutes later Georgie was his lift home.
Two weeks later found Kelly and Georgie working in the bullpen and Wallace in his office, they couldn't work out on calls but they also couldn't stay at home for four more weeks they were all getting edgy and Donna had actually begged Georgie and Kelly to get Wallace back to the firehouse.
"You three couldn't stay away could you?"
Georgie, Kelly and Wallace look up at Herrmann smiling at them "So what's the excuses?"
"Donna threatened death!"
"Yeah pretty much"
"Chief has it ever occurred to you that Donna prefers it when you're on shift?"
"Yes Georgie I had considered it, I think the line of 'Wallace if you don't quit bugging me every five seconds I'm going to kill you' was most definitely the biggest clue"
"She also rang me four times"
"Four? You're lucky with me it was every five minutes"
"Will you two shut up?"
Georgie laughs "Really? Has that worked at any point recently Chief?"
"No but that's not the point sis"
"Kelly!"
Herrmann stands watching the exchange between them all smiling "I think you three are spending to much time together"
"Herrmann go get Mouch there's something that you and Mouch as my oldest friends need to know"
Herrmann nods and goes in search of Mouch, which incidentally wasn't difficult he was always on the couch if not there on his bunk, entering the common room Herrmann lifted Mouch from the couch and dragged him back out and back towards Wallace's office, Herrmann and Mouch walk into the office to find Georgie and Kelly perched on their friends desk.
"Right I'm even more confused now"
"You're telling me, I'm about to settle down to watch the TV, when you literally pull me up and drag me in here, can I sit down?"
"All will be explained Mouch"
"All whilst you sit down, you going to sit down too old man?"
Herrmann and Mouch sit opened mouthed and in shock as Georgie, Kelly and Wallace laugh.
"What the hell?"
"Indeed!"
Georgie crouches down in front of both Herrmann and Mouch and grabs their hands "Guys all will be revealed, I promise"
Georgie stood back up and patted Wallace's shoulder and went to his desk and picked up the picture frame from his desk, her favourite one on his desk by far, the photo in question was of herself, Alex, Abi, Wallace, Donna, Terence, Voight and Kelly. Georgie smiled down at the picture and then stood beside Wallace and nodded at him.
"I want to tell you both something that as my life long friends you should both know, I have three wonderful children who are my life and always will be, no matter how old they get, two of them especially"
Herrmann starts smiling knowingly, Mouch is still clueless. Herrmann turns to Mouch "Think about it"
Mouch sits a few more minutes before looking at Georgie and Kelly stood beside Wallace smiling at him "Oh!"
Mouch fainted, Herrmann rolled his eyes and slapped Mouch across the face "Wake up idiot"
"I'm awake, so let me get this right. Georgie and Kelly are your kids?"
"Yes, their choice not mine"
"Well you both should know how it came about for me and the Chief, you've both known me long enough"
Herrmann and Mouch nod, they then turn to Georgie "Well mines a bit more complicated so here goes. My mom was Wallace's best friend he was there at my birth, he cut my cord, he was the first one to dress me in all of the above he was then and even now is my dad"
"Wait why didn't I see this before? Georgie Powell? Alex Powell's daughter? I held you as a baby"
"You threw up on me!"
"We were the most smallest baby ever"
"You also peed over me"
"Mouch really? It's Georgie the little munchkin that stole our hearts twenty-seven years ago"
"You were both there?"
"Yes"
Mouch corrected the statement "We were outside the hospital room, we heard your first cry, I think the nurses thought we were crazy? Two grown men stood outside a hospital room crying and dancing in tears of joy, Herrmann here ended up pulling his back out and I walked into a wall, was worth it though"
Georgie sniffed and wiped at tears "I've got more family now than I thought possible, it's overwhelming"
Kelly pulled her into a hug "Sssh it's OK its a lot to take in"
Mouch smiles "So what you got in your hands?"
"A family photo"
Georgie passed the photo to Mouch and Herrmann who were both very confused when staring back at them was a smiling Hank Voight.
"Why is Voight in this photo?"
"Family photo biggest clue going" Georgie rolls her eyes and sighs "Ok Hank is my dad and has been since I was four years old, he became my dad thanks to this guy right here"
"Twenty-three years ago when you went awol?"
"Yeah that's the day I lost the last thing of Alex, it could have been worse"
Herrmann nodded "The care system, I can't believe your the little tiny baby that threw up and peed on Mouch"
"Yeah it's me, don't worry I'll not do that anytime soon"
"Grateful, how does Terence find it having a brother and sister?"
"I'll ask him once I see him"
"Hey I'm sorry if he wants to stay with us all the time, he loves his big sisters house"
"When's it my turn?"
"When you get a decent car, you can't fit three car seats in your mustang, oh and when you've told Stella"
Kelly nods "Fair point! I'll go do that now, see you guys"
Everyone nods and watch Kelly jog out of the bullpen, Mouch pulls Georgie into a hug "Welcome to the family Georgie"
"Thanks Uncle Mouch"
"Come here kid"
Herrmann pulled Georgie into a hug and then pushed her back wiping at tears "Aww Uncle Herrmann don't cry"
"I wasn't crying, your hair got in my eyes"
Georgie nodded and walked back to her desk in the bullpen, ten minutes later found Stella hugging her "I've told Kelly after shift were going car and car seat shopping I also suggested putting the loft on sale and get a house so the three kids have rooms for when they stay with us, well it's a shock to find out I've got three little people to spoil, oh this is going to be so much fun. I'm going to go make a list of all the things my three little ones will need"
The hurricane known as Stella Kidd was then soon gone, Georgie sat in shock and looked up as Wallace, Herrmann and Mouch were laughing "That right there was Stella Kidd"
Georgie looked back down at her desk smiling, Kelly arrived looking dumbstruck and sat heavily in his chair "I didn't know that Stella could squeal like that, god knows what people were thinking?"
"Well normally when she squeals in any sense is in the shower room or your office so if you were in that area at the time they'll probably think you're up to something. I repeat do not make me an Aunt just yet!"
"Or me a grandfather again"
"Or me a Uncle"
"Indeed, ooh lunch time"
With that Mouch walked away and Georgie, Kelly, Wallace and Herrmann laughed, Herrmann looked at Georgie "You want this conversation between us for now?"
"Please Herrmann and can you tell Mouch the same"
"Sure thing kid"
Herrmann walked away and left Georgie, Kelly and Wallace in the bullpen, twenty minutes later Sylvie came storming into the bullpen and kicked a metal bin flying before storming into the Chief's office and slamming the door shut, Kelly and Georgie glanced at the door and then back at each other, Georgie stood up and picked up the bin and started picking up the rubbish from the floor, she didn't notice the latest floater to grace 51, her replacement Derek Lane was in the bullpen, he kicked the metal bin and kicked Georgie in the ribs.
"Jesus!"
"Get out of my way office clerk!"
"Office clerk?"
"God your as bad as Brett with the stupidity, blond hair is a curse in this firehouse. Thank god Kidd isn't, at least someone with brains works here!"
Kelly stood up he could see Georgie clenching and unclenching her fists, he knew what was coming so he sent a text on the firehouse WhatsApp.
Urgent help Georgie going to kill Lane.
In the thirty seconds he took to send the message Georgie had lifted six foot plus Lane off his feet and held him in the air, at five foot nine Georgie wasn't small by any means and when angry she certainly could handle herself.
"Take it back!"
"Take what back? You and Brett are nothing but dumb blondes and are only here because of what you have in-between your legs, how many of them have had you, Brett and even Kidd?"
"Oh hell no!"
Otis stepped in front of Stella and blocked her from getting to Lane and Georgie, nobody had noticed that the Chief had a strong hold on Sylvie, Georgie squeezed around Lane's neck "I suggest you apologise before I strangle you to death!"
Lane looked around at the rest of them nobody moved to help him, he saw Tony strolling over to them "Georgie let him go, your our sister, 51's a close knit family that's it. Don't let some sexist idiot spoil your career"
Georgie glanced sideways at Tony and sighed lets go and smirks as Lane stands on unsteady feet.
"You bitch!"
"Don't you call my sister a bitch!"
Tony grabs a hold on Lane's arm and starts twisting.
"Get off my arm! Your breaking my arm you big tub of lard!"
Georgie growls and head butts an unsuspecting Lane who plummets to the floor in agony "Damn it that wasn't a great idea"
Georgie slumped over and Tony guided her to a chair "You ok Georgie?"
"Yeah, sorry Chief"
"I see Derek Lane finally got his just desserts speaking of which?"
"On it Chief Butler"
Herrmann jogged out of the bullpen and returned five seconds later with a chocolate pudding and spoon and passed them to Chief Butler who after his first spoonful looked directly towards Sylvie, Stella and Georgie who were all stood beside their Chief.
"You three ladies need to make a complaint about Mr Lane here so its documented even though I heard and saw everything. Also Miss Brett add an assault charge as well for what he did to you on scene"
"Sylvie what did he do to you?"
"He pushed me out the way and caused me to hit the wing mirror of 61, can one of you check my back?"
Stella lifted the back of Sylvie's t-shirt up to reveal the bruising "Oh honey you've got a cracking bruise on your back"
Georgie looked at the bruising on her best friend and then back down at Lane, she took a step forward but didn't get far when her Chief pulled her backwards towards him and whispered in her ear "Not worth it sweetheart"
Georgie nodded and looked over at a satisfied Chief Butler and Herrmann sticking three fingers up and discreetly pointing at Chief Butler, Georgie smiled and pulled Stella and Sylvie into Boden's office whilst the guys of 51 took out the trash namely Derek Lane. Georgie sat in Wallace's chair and smiled at Stella and Sylvie especially as Wallace walked in and pulled her into a hug not realising or bothered that Stella and Sylvie were even there.
"What the hell Chief?"
"Really? Is there nobody in this bloody firehouse that won't hug you?"
"Don't even go there Sylvie he's my..."
"Where's my daughter?"
Georgie looks at Wallace as Donna storms into the office "Georgie you ok?"
Donna pulls Georgie from Wallace and looks her over "Did he do anything to you? Your wrist ok? If he's hurt you I'm going to kill him!"
"Mom!"
"Donna we have company" Wallace points at the gobsmacked Stella and Sylvie.
"Oh crap!"
Georgie holds Donna's hand and looks at her two best friends "Long story short Donna and Wallace are my parents, well actually I have two dads and one arsehole" Georgie smiles as Stella and Sylvie look at her "Well you know one of them actually both of them Stella"
Stella nods and slaps her forehead "Of course"
"Excuse me I don't know a very confused Sylvie Brett here"
"Well you know my biological dad is none other than Benny Severide, my actually full name is Georgie Alex Powell-Voight"
"Bloody hell!"
"Indeed which makes Kelly my brother, Hank Voight my adopted dad and Donna and Wallace my makeshift adopted family and little Terence my brother"
"Who else knows?"
"Well you, the kids, Stella, Kelly, Herrmann, Mouch, Trudy, Jay and Will Halstead" Georgie mentally checks in her head "Oh and Kim Burgess, oh did you know? Nope never mind"
"Seriously don't start something you won't finished" Stella hugged Georgie tightly but pushed her away when Georgie cried out in pain.
Donna rushed over to Georgie "What happened?"
"Lane, he kicked me in the ribs, I'm tender"
Donna lifted Georgie's tshirt "Oh darling that's really bruised, you need it checking out at Med"
Stella points at Sylvie "You best take Sylvie too"
"I'm fine Stella"
"You are far from fine, you have a bruise from the bottom of your back to the middle, I don't class that as fine!"
"Sylvie let me see"
Sylvie lifted her tshirt and Wallace stormed out the room, Georgie ran after him "Dad don't!"
Wallace stopped and turned to Georgie "He hurt my daughter and one of her best friends, he didn't hurt Stella did he?"
"No he hasn't but dad we are grown adults we can handle it, but from me and Sylvie thanks"
Wallace hugged Georgie and smiled as Donna, Sylvie and Stella approached them "Sorry I ran out but when one of my own is hurt I see red"
Sylvie pats Wallace's arm "Thank you Chief, I'm going to go with Donna and Georgie to Med my back is killing me!"
"Go, 51 is out of service, I'll see you there"
Donna walked ahead of everyone and straight up to Derek Lane kneeing him and holding his shoulders as he went down "You hurt my family, now I've hurt you. Do anything to them again I'll do more than kick you where it hurts, do you understand me?"
Lane nodded and groaned, everyone else from 51 stood in shock as Donna walked away followed by a giggling Georgie and Sylvie, Georgie and Sylvie giggled all the way to Med, Georgie abruptly stopped giggling when she saw the intelligence unit SUV's outside of Med.
"Donna stop the car right now!"
Donna stopped and Georgie leapt out of the car and ran straight into Med, Donna quickly parked and Donna and Sylvie walked into Med to find Georgie screaming at Jay and Kevin.
"WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?"
"Georgie calm down!"
"CALM DOWN? KIM WHY THE HELL DID YOU NOT RING ME? BETTER YET JAY WHY DIDN'T YOU RING OR TEXT ME? HE'S MY DAD AND YOU DIDN'T TELL ME, AHH GOD DAMN IT"
Georgie passed out being caught by Jay, Donna sent a text to Wallace letting him know that Hank was in Med injured and that Georgie needed him, she looked up when a doctor approached everyone and Donna didn't like the look on his face.
"I'm here to discuss Sergeant Hank Voight, I'm afraid..."
A/N – Ooh sorry for the cliff hanger, but not sorry.
