A/N- If you are still laughing at the Christ..o..purr Herrmints line, I'll join you. They say laughing helps you, I've taken it to a whole new level and gave myself a pain and nosebleed, the nosebleed from falling off my chair and smacking myself in the nose. Don't worry I'm OK.

Five months? Where had those five months gone? Jess and Sylvie next shift were returning to 51 and 61 and boy had it been a while. Currently Jess and Stella were trying to calm down a very stressed Eliza, out of all the babies Eliza of course was cutting her first tooth and boy didn't everyone know about it.

"Sssh baby girl come on" Jess soothed Eliza "I know those horrible teeth"

Stella stood from the couch, looking at Alexander who was enjoying his tummy time, Stella held out her arms to Eliza.

"Come here sweet girl" Stella hugged Eliza close "Did you need Auntie Stella, princess?"

"I don't believe it, she's been on and off all day"

"Aww all she wanted was Stella cuddles, they work magic I'll have you know" Stella suddenly felt faint and sat down "Lets snuggle Miss Eliza"

Jess looked at Stella when she sat down quickly "You OK?"

Stella nods smiling down at Eliza holding her top and snuggling in "Yeah just felt dizzy there for a second and now it's gone, all good"

Jess watched Stella closely, she decided that she'd have to have a conversation with Sylvie start of shift the following day, Stella gained colour in her cheeks and settled with Eliza was sleeping.

Walking up the apron five months after delivering their babies at 51, Jess and Sylvie were excited to be back, when they got onto the apparatus floor they found Capp moping the floor and Kelly dragging his beloved chair to the dumpster.

"Hey guys, glad to be back?"

Jess looks oddly at Kelly "Why you dragging your chair out?"

"Stella threw up all over the Squad table and the chair"

Jess nodded "Where's Stella now?"

"My bunk, I'm going to order a new chair"

Sylvie and Jess walk towards the bunkroom and Kelly's office to find Stella rocking.

"Hey, you OK?"

"Talk to us Stella"

"I'll be OK, dodgy Chinese last night"

Jess rolls her eyes at Sylvie, Stella suddenly runs from the room, and a chorus of 'Oh shit' is heard from the locker room, Jess and Sylvie walk from Kelly's office to the locker room to find Gallo and Herrmann covered in vomit, Stella nowhere in sight.

Sylvie looks at both men "Go shower, did you see where Stella went?"

Jess looks on bemused at the horror on Gallo and Herrmann's faces "Guys bad case of food poisoning from a dodgy takeaway"

Gallo and Herrmann nod pointing in the direction of the bathroom before going to the showers, Jess and Sylvie find Stella in the bathroom staring into the mirror a death grip on the skin in front of her, she looks up as Jess and Sylvie walk in.

"Hi"

Sylvie strokes Stella's arm "How do you feel now?"

"Better now actually, I'm never eating Chinese again!"

Jess nods "Has Kelly been ill?"

Stella stands thinking for the moment before answering "No he hasn't"

"So only you then?"

"Isn't that what I said already? Are you even listening to me Jess?"

Jess holds up her hands in defence "Jesus I was only asking, take a chill pill!"

Stella sighs "Yeah, sorry"

Jess shakes her head before walking out the room to go to morning briefing, Sylvie and Stella following her. The morning was quiet no calls so 51 were catching up on spring cleaning, Jess was currently making lunch as a blur of Chicago regulation uniform darted past. Jess watched as the blur now known as Stella ran to the bathroom, Jess wiped her hands and went to find Stella.

"Stella? You OK?"

"No!"

Jess nods and texts Sylvie 'Stella in bathroom again, come to us, maybe a trip to Med?'

Sylvie replies instantly 'On my way, grab radio take 61 out of service and then go speak to Boden"

Jess waits for Sylvie to arrive before walking out the bathroom, grabbing her radio she contacts main.

"61 to main, requesting to take 61 out of service for an hour?"

"Main to 61, we can confirm request 61 out of service for two hours, contact if can come back into service quicker"

"Affirmative main"

Jess continues to walk to Boden's office knocking on the frame he smiles and let's her in, Jess shuts the door behind her and faces the Chief.

"I've taken 61 out of service for a couple of hours, errand to run"

Boden raises an eyebrow "Anything I need to know?"

"Nope, we're handling it Chief"

"Handling what?"

Jess stands and opens the door "You're a question asker aren't you? Can you tell Casey he'll be a man down? Yeah thanks Chief, bye"

Jess jogs out of the office, leaving a confused Boden, who returns to his desk and smiles, that ladies and gentlemen was the whirlwind known as Jessica McHolland.

Jess finds Stella and Sylvie at 61, Jess helps Stella into the back of 61, Sylvie in the drivers seat. On their way to Med Jess texts Naomi to see if she was at work and could she see Stella on arrival. Naomi replied and said come straight to her, suddenly Stella started moaning before throwing up all over 61's floor.

"Woah" Jess just manages to put a sick bowl under Stella mouth as the second bout of sickness came "How far out?"

Sylvie glances through "A few minutes out, you OK back there?"

Jess nods rubbing Stella's back "I have to ask, could you possibly be pregnant?"

Stella's head shoots up and snarls at Jess "No I'm still having my periods, it's not possible?"

Jess nods "Yeah OK, you're irritable and throwing up, you need checking over, if I'm wrong I'm sorry but your being a right bitch to me"

Stella rolls her eyes and sighs "Yeah sorry"

Sylvie pulls up outside Med and helps Stella and Jess out of 61 and into Med and up to Naomi's floor.

Jess and Sylvie sit consoling Stella as they wait for Naomi to grab the girls from the waiting area. Just as Sylvie and Jess were about to break the awkward silence, in between the bouts of projectile vomit coming from Stella, Naomi comes out of her quiet secluded corner office and calls Stella through. Jess and Sylvie rise, Naomi sees this as an opportunity to talk to Stella alone, and Naomi respectfully asks that Jess and Sylvie wait outside until she has completed the scan but promises she will call them through as soon as possible. Jess and Sylvie share a knowing look and sit back down shrugging their shoulders but vow to wait for Stella until they know what's going on.

Sat in the sonographers room at the hospital Naomi starts to scan Stella. As she sits performing her job she wonders about her life and why she was so adamant as to why she never wanted a family when all she sees on a daily basis is unconditional love from mother's for their babies. Stella was shocked to be sitting in the office and sees Naomi with a pensive look upon her face. Stella breaks the silence. "Naomi are you okay?"

Naomi being brought back from her reverie replies "yes Stella I'm fine."

Naomi reassures Stella that everything is fine and her baby seems to be at about twenty weeks gestation.

Stella sits with a shocked look on her face wondering how on earth she was going to break the news to Kelly when she knows he is so loved up with Eliza. Stella starts to panic.

Naomi sees Stella starting to panic and asks her "what's the matter Stella, are you ok, can I get you anything?"

Stella replies "no Naomi I'm fine just not sure how to tell Kelly."

Naomi sighs, she sees this on a daily basis where mothers are scared to tell the babies father for fear of rejection and abandonment, and speaks quietly to Stella patting her on the hand, "just be honest with him, here are some photos to show him, do you want to know the gender?"

Stella says "yes please" Naomi replies saying that Stella is having a little girl. Stella cradles her tummy protecting her precious bundle of joy. Stella goes to leave and sees Naomi staring after her.

As Stella gets to the door Naomi goes to speak. Stella interjects "are you ok Naomi, would you like to talk about whatever's on your mind?"

Naomi sits for a split second wondering whether she should open up. Stella opens the door and calls to Sylvie and Jess that she will be a few minutes longer. Stella returns to the bed and sits down holding Naomi's hands and looking at her.

"Naomi, I know I don't know you very well but we are sisters now and you can tell me anything. I will never judge you and I will always be here for you." Stella coaxes gently.

Naomi takes a long and heavy sigh. She exhales slowly and prepares herself mentally to open up to this woman she looks at as family. "Stella, first of all thank you, knowing you are here for me and always will be well that means more to me than you will ever know. I know you don't know my history and this job well it's really grinding me down at the minute. I'm in love with Jay and I really want us to take the steps to having a family but mentally I can't do it. I don't think I will ever want to have my own kids despite this yearning inside of me to have my own family so I can feel complete."

Stella goes to speak but Naomi continues. "Please let me get this out. Otherwise I will never say it out loud. I'm scared Stella, more scared than I've ever been, as I was abandoned and rejected in my childhood. I fear that if I was to have a child with Jay then he would reject me, tell me he never wanted me and it was all just fun, but more than that I worry that if I was to have a child that I wouldn't be able to bond with that baby despite it being mine. You see Stella I have borderline personality disorder. I've been keeping it to myself because through the years I've been abandoned by everyone I ever had a bond with and that feeling still resides within me. Yes I'm learning to trust but it's a slow process. I've always had issues with never believing that I was good enough to be loved. With my parents dying when I was really small and then being dumped in to the care system by my so called auntie. Jay showers me with affection and I know he's ready for more but I'm just not there yet. I'm happy with it being the both of us. I need to build that trust but I know I vowed to myself I'd never have children and threw myself in to my work. Now with the work I'm beginning to see it's all I ever wanted."

Stella takes a moment to absorb all the information she's just been told and sweeps Naomi in to a massive hug. "You've got a family now and I can guarantee we will never abandon you. We've got your back."

Jess and Sylvie have been creeping round the door frame listening to all of this. They sweep in to the room and they just hold the girls enclosing them in a hug they can't escape.

Sylvie speaks "we are your sisters and we will make sure that you never get that feeling ever again and if jay ever breaks your heart were going to kick his ass".

Naomi let's a tear drop down her cheek. She catches it. "Wow I never thought I'd cry again."

Stella, Jess and Sylvie all giggle. Jess intercedes "you need to tell jay all of this he needs to know, he's a good bloke, you found a keeper he will never let you feel like this but he deserves to know about the personality disorder at least that way he can support you."

"Okay sisters I will tell him tonight. I promise and thank you." Naomi feels relieved now that she has spoken to Stella.

Jess and Sylvie speak out "Stella, oh my god, what happened?". They all laugh.

"Well girls you're going to be aunties to a beautiful baby girl." Stella says. "Looks like we've both got big nights ahead of us Naomi".

Jess and Sylvie pull Naomi and Stella in to another group hug and they all say in unison "we can all do it if we just do it together".

Stella turns to Jess "How did you know?"

Jess giggles "Hello I was pregnant remember?"

Jess, Sylvie, Stella and Naomi giggle before they walk out and stand in the waiting area, none of them noticing Natalie staring at them. Natalie pulls her phone out and texted Violet.

The triple dream team of 51 are here, just walked out of Naomi's room.

No way, I have to tell Gallo.

What do it think he'll say?

Knowing Gallo he won't be very subtle.

Oh I'd love to be a fly on that wall of 51.

Tell me about it, let you know.

Of course bye V.

Bye Nat.

Violet sits in Ambo 20 fiddling with her phone debating whether to text Gallo, a few seconds of debating she picks up her phone.

Hey, you'll never guess who Natalie has seen at Med?

Patients? I don't know.

Obviously patients, really? OK dumbass Jess, Sylvie and Stella coming out of Naomi's office.

Naomi? Naomi has Jess and Kelly's sister, the one who does the scans?

Bingo, you got it one.

Violet waits for five minutes before her phone pings again.

Sorry, I kind of blurted out that they were at Med, Casey, Mills and Severide are out on the apparatus floor waiting for 61.

Oh? I wonder which one of them it is?

Well 61's just come in, will let you know, we're all hiding behind Squad 3.

Over at 51, yes 61 was back and Sylvie looked over at Stella who shook her head, there stood looking worried were Matt, Peter and Kelly. Jess got out of the back of 61 as Sylvie and Stella got out the front.

Jess giggles "We don't need a welcoming party"

Kelly looks at the three women in front door him "We know you've been at Med and saw Naomi"

Jess looks back at her brother "News travels fast, how?"

Peter walks forward "Natalie saw you text Violet, Violet text Gallo and well he blurted it out"

Stella sighs before pulling Kelly away from their friends, Kelly gets more worried. Stella takes the scan pictures out of her pants and hands one to Kelly, who studies it, before looking at Stella who nodded. Kelly fell to his knees tears in his eyes placing his hands on Stella's still flat belly.

"How far along?"

"Twenty weeks" Stella giggles at Kelly who is open mouthed.

"How did we not know?"

"I've not had symptoms of pregnancy, until now. I thought I was still having my periods, I honestly didn't know. It's a girl"

Kelly's head snaps up, standing up he pulls Stella into a hug openly sobbing "A little girl? Our little princess?"

Now the whole of 51 stood watching the exchange, Matt and Peter secretly relieved that it wasn't them having this conversation, their twins only being five months old, Stella and Kelly notice everyone looking at them, Kelly hugs Stella closer to his side.

"Stella's pregnant and its a little girl"

Firehouse 51 erupted into loud cheers, Mouch approached Kelly and Stella "Your mom will have a field day when she finds out, congratulations"

Kelly smiles at Mouch "Thanks pops"

Mouch hugs both Kelly and Stella, Jess, Sylvie join in the hug, both excited about their new niece and how much they'll spoil her, baby Severide would be loved just exactly the same as the Casey and Mills twins and she'd end up with so much family she won't know what to do with them all.
