Through the drawn curtains the morning sunlight breaks in. Walsh rolls over and puts his arm around Taylor.

"Good morning Mrs. Walsh." He smiles

"Well good morning Mr. Walsh." Taylor laughs.

"It feels so good to finally be husband and wife." Walsh adds

"Yeah it does." Taylor replies.

"And what are we going to do on our first day as husband and wife?" Walsh asks

Before Taylor can reply the phone rings. *~*~*~*~*

Kim is fixing breakfast for Joey and Jimmy. Jimmy walks into the kitchen.

"Morning." He says as he pours a cup of coffee.

"Good morning." Kim smiles in reply.

"How did you sleep last night?" Jimmy asks

Kim doesn't get a chance to answer as her phone rings as does Jimmy's cell phone. *~*~*~*~*

The alarm is sounding at the house.

"Let's go!" Lieutenant Johnson says as he throws his coat on

The squad scrambles into the truck.

"Some honeymoon." DK teases Taylor

"Yeah." Taylor replies as they pull out headed for a warehouse fire. *~*~*~*~*

Carlos, Doc, Nicole, and Kim are already on the scene.

"Here comes the squad." Nicole announces

"Yeah, they're here." Kim says in the orange glow that reflects off of the night sky.

As the squad comes to a stop an order comes for all personnel to withdraw.

The building starts to collapse in on itself. The squad stands by the engine and watches the glow. Water is poured onto the fire as firefighters exit the building. The building finally collapses in on itself.

The squads work to put out the flames in the rubble. A task that takes them well into the early hours of the morning. The squad is relieved to get to head back to the house.

"Man it's been a long night." Prescott says

"Yeah, it's been too long." Jimmy adds

"Welcome aboard the 55. Our next stop will be King and Arthur." Walsh cracks

"Look who's being the funny guy." DK laughs

They travel up the quiet streets finally pulling back up at the house. Walsh backs the truck into the bay and the bay door closes.

"Oh it's going to feel great just to lay down." Walsh says

"I hear that." Logan says

They head for the bunkroom. Shortly after they lay down, the alarm sounds.

"Squad 55, Ladder 100, Adam 55-3, Boy 55-3 residential fire 1808 Riverside." The alarm sounds

Jimmy rolls over, "Oh man, I was just getting comfortable too."

"Yeah, same here." Walsh replies

"Come on babies, let's go." Taylor says

"What are you gonna do when you have a child man?" DK asks Walsh

"That's Taylor's job." Walsh laughs

Taylor doesn't find the humor in it "Yeah, right." She says dryly.

"Ouch" DK says as they climb into the truck

Prescott and Jimmy laugh.

"He thinks that he's not going to have to get up if we have children. Ha." Taylor laughs

Again they are on scene and at work. Taylor and Jimmy enter the residence with Logan, DK, and Prescott. They work fast, Jimmy finds a child still in his bedroom, shaking. Logan and Prescott get the grandfather out of his room. They eventually put the fire and return to the house. It's nearly dawn.

"Do you think we can get some sleep now?" Jimmy asks

"What's the matter, you guys feeling too old to be staying out all night?" Taylor asks

"You know what?" DK says

"What?" Taylor asks

"Ummmm.. I'm too tired to finish that thought, maybe later." DK says

Everyone laughs and they head back to the bunkroom.

Kim laughs, "I can't wait for this shift to be over."

"Adam 55-3 chest pains 108 Morningside." The alarm sounds

"Ha, someone else has to go out." Walsh cracks

"Not funny." Nicole says as she and Doc head back downstairs *~*~*~*~*

8 AM rolls around. The squad slowly awakens.

"Well guys, looks like another shift has come to a close." Logan says

"Not a moment too soon." Jimmy says

"Squad 55, Adam 55-3, Boy 55-3 MVA 95th and King" The alarm squeals

"Let's go girls." Lieutenant Johnson yells

"Again?" Prescott comments

"Yeah, they don't have a full squad yet." Lieutenant Johnson replies

"Alright, let's go." Jimmy says grabbing his gear.

They pull out of the house and head off for the call. Arriving to find a car that has jumped a curb and hit a hydrant.

"Logan, Prescott, get that hydrant off. Taylor, DK, Jimmy, you get that car open." Lieutenant Johnson says as they climb out of the cab.

"My baby!" The driver screams

"Ma'am, are you alright?" Kim asks

"My baby, where's my baby?" The woman screams hysterically

A toddler is in the backseat crying, but there is also an empty child seat.

"Oh no." Carlos says

The woman continues to scream, her face bloodied from the air bag.

"Ma'am, how many children do you have?" Kim asks

"Two." The woman cries

The medics and firefighters exchange a fearful look.

"Ma'am, how many children were in the car with you this morning?" Kim asks

"Two, I was taking them to daycare. Elliot and Jamie." The woman replies

Jimmy finally gets the passenger door off of the car and he searches under the seats. He comes back out of the car, shaking his head sideways.

"Great, we've got a missing baby." Nicole says

Taylor is a bit angry over the comment. She looks at the broken windshield. "No, dear God please tell me that didn't happen." She says

She walks up the street a little bit to another car with a broken window. "Doc!" she yells as she busts the side window out to get into the car.

"Nicole get a peds backboard up here NOW!" Doc yells

Nicole does as she is told. They get the child on the backboard, and put him in the back of the bus. Kim and Carlos load the mother and son in the other bus and with Jimmy's assistance they head off for Mercy. The rest of the squad is left to clean up the mess. *~*~*~*~*

Jimmy is in the waiting room waiting for Kim and Carlos to finish when he spots the Chaplain for the department.

"Mr. Doherty." The Chaplain says

"Hello Chaplain Jones." Jimmy replies

"Andrew Moore was a member of the 55 at one point, am I correct?" The Chaplain asks

"Yeah, a few years ago, why?" Jimmy asks recalling the then rookie

"He passed away early this morning." The Chaplain replies

"How?" Jimmy asks in disbelief

"Fell from the roof on a call." The Chaplain replies.

"Man." Jimmy says

"Such a shame to lose such a young and promising fire fighter." The Chaplain replies

"Yeah, it is." Jimmy responds.

Kim and Carlos are ready to go.

"What's wrong?" Kim asks

"Andy Moore passed away this morning." Jimmy replies

Kim and Carlos look at each other.

"Come on, we better get back and tell the others." Jimmy says "Thank you Chaplain." *~*~*~*~*

The squad is eating breakfast. Lieutenant Johnson is getting a cup of coffee. Jimmy, Kim, and Carlos come up the stairs.

"What's up?" DK asks

"Andy Moore passed away this morning." Jimmy replies

"Andy? Are you sure?" Walsh asks

"Yeah, unfortunately." Jimmy responds, "he fell from a roof on a call this morning."

They sit silently. Finally Lieutenant Johnson breaks the silence

"Guys, your shift just ended, go home and get some rest." He instructs

The group disperses and heads out.

"I can't believe it." Taylor says to Walsh

"Yeah, he was a great guy." Walsh replies

"Yeah." Taylor replies *~*~*~*~*

Days later outside of a church the squad carries a flag draped casket to the waiting fire truck. Slowly the fire truck pulls away with the squad following.

The bagpipers play "Amazing Grace" as they proceed down the street. *~*~*~*~*

"It's a brotherhood. That's what FDNY means. A brotherhood that I am a proud part of." Taylor says
