Sleeping in a chair, head on a table wasn't the best idea. Jess slowly raised her head to find the whole of 51 and Intelligence sleeping around Molly's patio, her eyes fall onto Kelly and Stella sitting in the love seat, Stella's hair falling over her face, she looked peaceful, they all did. The only problem was Jess really needed to pee and at some stage in the night her crutches and Sylvie's had mysterious disappeared.

"Peter? You awake?"

"I am now"

"Attitude, baby I really need to pee and I don't know where my crutches are"

"Ask Herrmann he had them last"

"Peter seriously? I'm begging you get up and help me"

Mills got up stretched and carried Jess into Molly's bar and towards the bathroom as he waited he found Herrmann sat at the bar looking worse for wear.

"Morning Herrmann you feeling OK?"

Herrmann groans holding his head "Remind me never to take a drink from Stella ever again"

"Noted, you had more than one. Kelly had to stop you from completely getting naked"

Herrmann groaned "Please tell me no one filmed it, what am I going to tell Cindy?"

"Tell me what?"

Jess hobbles into the bar smiling when she saw Cindy and hearing her question.

"Herrmann here had a few to many of Stella's cocktails, he got so bad he was shirtless dancing to Right Said Fred's do you think I'm sexy"

Cindy burst out laughing "Please tell me someone got it on film?"

"Right here"

Herrmann looks at Jess and then Cindy "Don't you dare!"

"Phish posh Christopher lighten up"

Cindy watched Jess' phone giggling at her husband and friends enjoying themselves, oh and how they did, Jess promised to keep the video safe encase Cindy needed it at a later stage.

It was now 4 weeks later and life at 51 was as normal as it could be, Mills returned to 51 joining Violet from Ambo 20 on 61, basically keeping the seats warm for Jess and Sylvie. Violet and Mills were heading back to 51 from Med after dropping their patient off.

"51 always makes you feel welcome and they helped Jess"

"51 is a family always has been" Mills gives Violet a look "Yeah they gave her, her first permanent place"

Violet realising her mistake "I didn't mean that, forget I said anything"

"What are you not telling me? Violet?"

Violet bites her lip she had no choice to tell Mills "When Jess was at 37, the Paramedic there raped her. I thought you'd know?"

"Does it look like I know, damn it that's my fiancée"

Violet pulls into 51, Mills gets out slamming the door, he sees Kelly, Casey and Gallo and sprints to them.

"Why did no one tell me about Jess being raped?"

Kelly looked at Violet and then Gallo "Does the words in house mean nothing to you? For fuck sake Gallo why don't you shout it from the rooftops?"

"Kelly"

"No Casey, we said it stayed in house and he told her, that's my little sister man"

"Kelly why didn't you tell me at least? I will be your brother in law soon"

"That one is on me, but Gallo running his mouth is on you Casey"

"I know, I'm sorry to you both"

"Sorry your sorry?" Kelly glares at Gallo "You ever speak out about my sister again I'll..."

Kelly walks away punching the punch bag, Mills follows, he needed to calm Kelly down and quickly.

"Kelly?"

"I'm sorry you had to hear it from Violet, I just didn't want it spreading through the whole CFD. I know I should have told you but I was protecting Jess"

Kelly sat on the benches by the lockers looking up as Boden walks in looking at Mills and Kelly.

"Give me a minute"

"Sure Chief, you OK Kelly?"

Kelly nods patting Mills' arm, Boden sits beside Kelly.

"I'm not saying sorry to Gallo or Casey, they broke the 51 code"

"I know Kelly but you can't go around the way you are, Jess won't appreciate it if her brother isn't around for her return"

Jess and Sylvie's return was actually ahead of schedule, they should be away from 51 and 61 for 3 months, but no they would be back a month ahead. Jess definitely had the Severide determination it was in her blood.

The rest of the 24 hour shift went quickly, Gallo and Violet avoiding Kelly as much as possible, Kelly found himself in a locker room with Mills and Casey.

"You and Stella coming for dinner tonight?"

"Sure want us to bring anything? Casey wait up"

"Bring beer and wine, still haven't got any in the apartment Jess has just come off her meds"

"OK see you later" Kelly turns to Casey "Look man I'm sorry, but Jess is my sister and I'd kill for her"

"Kelly I understand, I'll deal with it trust me"

"OK see you in 48"

"See you"

Kelly and Casey go their separate ways, Kelly finds Stella waiting for him at her Jeep hands folded giving him a look.

"Everyone still in one piece?"

Kelly laughs "Yeah everyone still in one piece, for now!"

"Uh huh"

Stella and Kelly get into her jeep going home to get a few hours kip before going to Jess' and Mills' apartment, meanwhile Mills was pulling into his parking space beside Jess' car, he knew he had to ask why she kept the rape to herself but didn't want to upset her.

Opening the apartment door he can hear Rachel Platten's fight song blasting out, he walks further in and stands watching Jess singing and dancing along. Mills can't help but stare at his beautiful fiancée, her brunette curls a lot longer in the past few weeks bouncing on her back. Jess had her eyes closed throughout not opening them till the song ended looking up to see Mills looking at her.

"Hi baby, good shift?"

"It was eventful" Mills turns off the stereo and pats the seat beside me on the couch "Jess why didn't you tell me about you being raped at house 37?"

"I...who told you?"

"Violet did, but that's not the point"

"I didn't tell you because I felt dirty, I didn't ask for it but I felt embarrassed" Holding Peter's hand and kissing it "I didn't mean to not tell you, I was scared if I told you, you wouldn't want to marry me anymore"

"Never think that, I want to marry you" Mills kisses Jess "I love you"

"I love you too" Jess pulls Mills up from the couch "Come we need sleep before Kelly and Stella come, I love Stella but she can be like the energizer bunny on steroids"

Mills follows Jess to their bedroom, both getting ready for bed setting their alarm for a few hours later, settling into bed Mills pulls Jess to him. Jess lays her head on Mills' chest, Mills strokes Jess' hair until they both fell asleep.

A few hours later the alarm sounds, waking Jess first, she removed her knee brace, she'd had the cast off the week previously, 3 weeks ahead of schedule and made her way to the bathroom. Rubbing her face she smiles as Mills joins her in the bathroom hugging her from behind.

"You got up and it was then cold"

Jess turns around wraps her arms around Mills "Well if you wore more clothes in bed that might help"

"Maybe if you wore less"

Jess slaps Peter in the chest "Go away I want a shower, stop crowding me"

Peter giggles turning on the shower picking Jess up and putting her in it, Jess screams as the cold water hits her back.

"You did that on purpose"

"Maybe I did"

Jess rolls her eyes before pulling Mills closer, both giggling and enjoying the shower together.

At exactly 6pm the knocking on the door pulled Jess from Peter's arms and to answer the door, opening the door, Jess has to dodge Stella's hand, she was in mid knock.

"Evening"

"Trying to hit your future sister in law?"

"No just thought you'd take longer, didn't want to interrupt anything"

"No that was earlier"

Kelly covers his ears "La la la, don't need to hear the sex talk from my little sister thanks"

Mills laughs "Hey Kelly, Stella"

Kelly and Stella nod at Mills then sitting in the spare couch, Kelly hands Peter a beer, the girls going into the kitchen to grab wine glasses.

"So earlier then?"

"Nosey, it was unexpected but nice"

Stella walks back out to the spacious living room and sits beside Kelly playing with his hair, Jess sits beside Peter holding his hand, the four adults deciding to order in, nobody wanting to cook. Enjoying their evening a little after 11pm Stella and Kelly leave, Peter and Jess falling into bed and instantly falling asleep in a mess of limbs.

Exactly 4 weeks early, cleared by medical Jess was driving to 51, her first shift on Ambo 61 in 8 weeks. Sylvie also was coming back, they'd be back on Ambo together ready to serve those of Chicago that needed them, pulling up outside of 51 she noticed Sylvie waiting for her they decided to walk in together via 61, their rig.

"Morning Sylvie"

"Hey Jess, you honestly ready for this?"

"Oh hell yes, isn't that why we pushed ourselves to get back 4 weeks early?" Jess hooks her arm through Sylvie's and walks towards Ambo 61 "Well here's the beast, missed you"

"You missed the Ambo?"

"Didn't you?"

Sylvie laughs before nodding "Yeah actually I did, hey 61 we're back"

Jess and Sylvie giggle and walk into 51 and straight to the common room, Tuesday notices them both first and runs to them licking both their hands.

"Well thank you Tuesday at least you acknowledged the dream team back in house"

Stella squealing made everyone jump up and greet Jess and Sylvie, Boden walks in arms outstretched "Welcome back to 51, now get over here"

Jess and Sylvie hug Boden just as the bells sounded.

"Ambo 61 person in distress 2123 Walbash Street"

Jess looks to Sylvie whilst giving her bag to Peter "The dream team back in action"

Jess and Sylvie laugh and run to 61, starting their first 24 hour shift in 2 months.

The first week back went quickly, both Jess and Sylvie were enjoying being back at 51 and riding on 61. All of 51 were in the common room relaxing when the bells sounded.

"Ambo 61, Squad 3, Truck 81, Engine 51, Battalion 25 house fire 1713 Hamley Street"

Everyone ran to their rigs, Boden and Engine leaving first, followed by Squad Truck and 61.

Travelling in convoy and concentrating on the road nobody had noticed a van following closely behind 61, Boden Engine and Squad were on scene first, 81 and 61 just about to join them. When Jess started slowing down to stop just behind 81 the van collided with the back of 61, stunting it forward and into the back of 81.

Jess and Sylvie yell before Jess turns to Sylvie "What the hell! You ok Sylvie?"

Sylvie nods and gets out of 61 to assess the damage, Jess gets out a second after Sylvie and also goes to check for damage. Peter, Kelly and Casey run over to see if Jess and Sylvie are hurt.

"Jess are you hurt?"

"Peter I'm fine, possible whiplash from the seatbelt but I'm ok"

"Sylvie?"

"I'm ok, just deal with the scene and then we'll go to Med"

"Ambo looks ok, so after helping here you both go to Med to be checked"

Jess salutes Casey "We will Casey"

The driver of the van gets out and storms towards Jess and Sylvie "Learn to drive bitch!"

"Excuse me?"

"You shouldn't be behind the wheel if you can't drive"

The alcohol smell coming from the driver was the indication that he shouldn't have been behind the wheel, Jess smelt it and went from 0 to 100 in 3 seconds.

"How dare you?" Kelly grabs Jess as she moves forward "Your intoxicated behind the wheel and your calling me about my driving, look in the mirror arsehole"

A patrol car arrives and following procedures both drivers are breathalysed, no surprise Jess comes back clear, the driver of the van on the other hand was 3 times over the drink drive limit.

After the breathalyser came back clear for Jess it was established that 61 wasn't needed on scene so Boden sent Jess and Sylvie to Med. Upon arrival Jess and Sylvie meet Natalie.

"We've been involved in a little bump at our last scene and Chief Boden wants us checking over"

"I'd agree"

Jess giggles "Thought you would, so what happens now?"

"You both follow me we get you into a room together and you get the full works"

Jess rolls her eyes but follows Sylvie and Natalie to the exam room, where they are given a hospital gown each and left to change. Natalie orders bloods basically the whole kit and caboodle and leaves them alone.

"Even I'm thinking this is going above and beyond and I don't mind hospitals"

"Yeah but I've learnt not to argue with Natalie Manning"

Jess and Sylvie laugh and continue laughing when Natalie returns with a clipboard in hand and looking at them both.

"I have something to say and I'm not sure how to say it or how you'll both going to take it"

"Your not admitting us are you?"

Natalie laughs "No but I..."

"Natalie just tell us, whatever it is we can handle it together"

"Truer word never spoken" Natalie takes a deep breath "According to your blood works and the HGC levels in your blood, I'd say congratulations are in order"

"I...what?"

"No way?" Jess looks down at her still flat tummy "Oh my god!"

Both Jess and Sylvie look at each other laugh and give each other a massive hug before both hugging Natalie.

"How far along am I?"

Natalie looks at the clipboard "According to your levels Jess I'd say you were around 6 weeks, but we'd need to do an ultrasound to be sure, can we go ahead?"

Jess shakes her head "No I want Peter to be with me"

Natalie nods "OK but don't wait too long" "Sylvie want to know how far along you are?"

"Yes please"

"According to your levels I'd put you at around 6 weeks also, but again to be sure we need to do an ultrasound"

"I understand but I also want Matt with me"

Natalie nods "You can both get ready, you need to tell your partners and also your Chief. Congratulations again"

"Thanks"

Jess and Sylvie look at each other exchange giggles and get dressed, they return to 61 and don't move.

Jess looks at Sylvie "I need to talk to my mom"

"OK let's go"

Sylvie pulls away from Med and drives to the 21st district, when the arrive they sit in silence for a few minutes before exiting, seeing Kim coming towards them carrying the intelligence teams lunch. Sylvie grabs a bag and Jess, Sylvie and Kim head up the stairs to intelligence.

Kim hands everyone their lunch, just as the coffee of Hailey's is passed by Jess' nose she goes white and runs to the bathroom and the nearest loo, Sylvie and Hailey arrive and hear Jess heaving.

"I'll go get Trudy"

"Thanks" Sylvie once Jess finishes pulls her into a hug "You OK?"

"Woah, that came from nowhere"

Trudy runs into the bathroom and towards Jess and Sylvie on the floor, Sylvie stands and allows Trudy to pull Jess into a sideways hug. Jess lays her head on Trudy's shoulder.

"Oh mom"

"Talk to me"

"Mom I'm pregnant" Jess bursts into tears "What if Peter doesn't want this?"

Trudy moves Jess' head from her shoulder "He adores you and he'll adore the baby"

"I wanted to wait till we were married and have children"

"Oh darling it doesn't always work out that way"

"I know" Jess looks up at Sylvie who's gone white "Sylvie?"

Sylvie suddenly bolts for the next cubicle, Trudy looks at Jess who just nods.

Trudy laughs "Do you two have to do everything together?"

Sylvie walks back out wiping her face and rinsing her mouth out "I suppose we do"

Jess, Trudy and Sylvie giggle, Trudy helps Jess up from the floor, hugs her and walks with them back to 61. Sylvie drives back to 51 to find Kelly, Stella, Casey and Mills waiting for them.

"Here goes"

Jess gets out and is instantly bombarded with questions and Stella pulling her into a hug.

"You OK girl?"

"What did Med say? You OK to work?"

"Do you need 61 staying out of service?"

Jess holds up her hands "Guys we're OK, Peter I need to talk to you, come with me"

Jess pulls Peter out of the apparatus floor and the apron, Jess starts pacing.

"Jess? Babe stop pacing"

Jess stops and looks at Peter "I'm...I'm...I'm pregnant"

"What?"

Jess starts to pace again "I'm sorry, you don't have to be..."

Mills pulls Jess into a hug before moving her back looking down at her tummy "Your pregnant? Oh my god I'm so happy"

Mills picks Jess up and spins her around, Jess goes white before putting her hand over her mouth "Oh god"

Jess runs from Mills into 51 and to the bathroom, Mills following getting there in time to hold Jess' hair and rubbing her back.

"I hate this part" Jess takes a sip of water "Something I'm going to have to get used to"

Mills places his hand on Jess' belly "How far along?"

"Natalie said 6 weeks but wants me to have an ultrasound to make sure. Wanted to do it whilst I was there I said no I want you with me"

"We'll ring Natalie after we've spoken with the Chief"

"Yep can we then tell 51 too?"

"Sure only if you want too, you ready?"

Jess and Peter walk through 51 to Boden's office to find Sylvie and Casey standing there too.

"Mills?"

"Casey we need to speak to the Chief, Jess just found out that she's pregnant"

Casey's mouth drops before looking back at Sylvie "Well congratulations guys, join us?"

"Wait? What"

Casey, Sylvie and Jess giggle, Jess holding Peter's arm "Yep Sylvie's pregnant too"

Boden waves them in, Jess and Sylvie going in first followed by Casey and Mills, closing the door behind them.

"Why are all 4 of you in my office at the same time?"

Jess and Sylvie look at each other and smile "We're pregnant"

Boden looks between Jess and Sylvie then Casey and Mills "Oh my god, you both OK after the accident earlier?"

"Yes Chief, just want to get 61 back into service and get back to working with Jess"

"I'm good Chief, are you OK?"

Boden stands up arms open "I'm so glad for you, Jess, Sylvie get over here"

Boden hugs Jess and Sylvie before shaking Peter and Matt's hand "When you telling them?"

"We thought now, get them together in the common room and tell them"

"Good idea I'll go round them up, follow me in a few minutes"

Boden practically runs from the office causing everyone to laugh, Matt pulls Jess into a hug, Mills doing the same to Sylvie and then Mills and Matt do an awkward man hug, before walking to the common room to find everyone there watching them walk in.

Jess and Peter motion for Matt and Sylvie to go first, Matt pulls Sylvie to his side.

"Me and Sylvie have a announcement to make"

Sylvie smiles brightly "We're pregnant!"

Stella squeals, everyone looks gobsmacked, eventually Kelly slaps Matt on the back.

"Oh man so happy for you"

Everyone return to their seats, Jess clears her throat getting everyone's attention again, taking a step back from Stella and Kelly.

Peter then pulls Jess to his side "We've also got an announcement to make"

Stella understands instantly "No way"

"Yes way, we're also pregnant"

Kelly stood open mouthed before pulling Jess into a hug, the biggest smile on his face "My little sister is having a baby, whoa"

Everyone laughed at Kelly's reaction and congratulated the happy couples, to say Kelly was excited was an understatement, he was buzzing around Jess, he couldn't wait to be an Uncle.
