RB= Ritter's boyfriend

Stella's POV: everything at the firehouse has gone back to normal where nobody has conflict with another fire house. Over the last couple days I have been thinking over some ideas on what I should either do or get for Kelly's birthday which is next week. Yesterday I decided I would take Kelly on a little trip for his birthday. The reason I chose it is for one because we both deserve a few days to ourselves. And for two we haven't took a trip together as a couple yet so it's about time that something like that happens. Right now it's the morning before shift so as Kelly is still getting himself ready for work I decide to browse the Internet for ideas.

S= no ( kelly walks out into the living room)
K= good morning
S= ah good morning ( shuts her laptop and starts acting weird)
K= what are you up to
S= uh nothing just browsing the Internet like people do
K= okay
S= damm I'm late
K= what are you talking about we got plenty of time
S= no I just I got a swing by home before work because I left my station gear there but um I Will see you at the firehouse
K= yeah see you

I hated that I kind of lied to Kelly but I want to plan something special for him for his birthday hopefully I can figure out something soon. So I go and grab my station from my house and head into work once I am there I decide to ask Cruz what is a good place to take Kelly for his birthday

S=hey
CZ= hey
S= so I have been trying to plan a surprise trip as a birthday present for Kelly only thing is it that it's his birthday next week I still haven't figured out what to do he's so tricky
CR= hey you know my boyfriend Eric he's a travel agent I bet he could hook you up
S= that would be amazing are you serious ( Ritter shakes his head yes) oh my God okay Um can you have him stop by Molly's tomorrow night
CR= sure
S= thank you

General POV: Cruz and Brett decided it was time to let somebody finally move into Otis his old room and they didn't have anybody in mind but mouch came up with the idea of suggesting Nick Porter as a roommate and agree. The whole firehouse Get called to a private school because somebody called a false alarm and it deterred their reaction time to another call with somebody was stuck underneath a heater vent thing. When they got back to the station they realize that over the last month the fire house itself either first,second , or third shift has been called to that school multiple times so it seems like somebody's doing it on purpose so Casey Kelly And the chief call Sergeant Platt to help them figure it out she said she'll have people check into it but for now they come up with an idea passing out flyers at the private school to see if any of the kids will fess up to pulling alarm or tell them who did it. Hopefully they'll somebody soon for now everybody wait around and see

At Molly's with Stella
CR= hey Eric why don't you tell Kidd your thoughts about this shit before servride decides to come over here
S= and thank you so much again for doing this
RB= so many options for couples first there's outdoorsy stuff hiking or skiing with a cabin in the woods little too murdery for me personally but some people love it
S= I like the honesty moving on
RB= Then there's the spa weekend plenty of beautiful locates for that but if your fireman is anything like mine he'll think it's a little on the soft side
CR= yeah
S= okay afraid so
RB= figured so my final and I think best suggestion is a cruise
S= hmm A cruise Kelly does Love boats
RB= then it's perfect I'm telling you they're really romantic the open seas the nonstop parties those cozy rooms. We did one last year and it was crazy fun
S= I love this idea love it ( laughs) oh god okay just uh talk about something else quick

Kelly's pov: I am happy to be back at the firehouse and even more happy to have no conflict between fire houses anymore so that's good. Me and Stella are still doing pretty amazing yesterday morning she started to act a little weird I think it has to do with my birthday coming up next week she doesn't have to plan anything for me I'm just happy to be with her. I am at Molly's with The chief and Mat watching Stella talk with Ritter and some other guy who I think is ritter's boyfriend. She keeps looking at me I wonder why

K= stella's been acting weird
CB= ah severide don't ever try and figure women out Donna and I we got into another fight about her mother and now she's on one of those weekends retreat with all Her girlfriends
MC= was wondering why you were making one of your rare appearances at Molly's always great to have you but sorry for the reason
CB= ah don't be tripping is she comes home Sunday night and if history is any guide just being home together everything is back to normal pretty quick

The chief got me thinking about me and Stella. Next time at work me and Matt arrive at work at the same time

MC= Kidd didn't stay at the loft last night Huh
K= nope
MC= Trouble in paradise
K= She made some excuse about crashing early but I'm not buying it trying to give her space but not sure that's the Way to go

With Stella in the locker room

S= so I spent the whole night looking at those squeeze bushes that Eric gave me there's just so many choices it like where to go where to leave them for how long
SB= hmm Lucky you I spent all night watching old car races with Nick Porter
S= uggh
EF= I can't take it anymore
S= what
EF= Nick Porter you chose Nick Porter
SB= I meant it wasn't my best move but why are you so worked up about it he wasn't sitting on your couch in his underwear
EF= my landlord and I have been at war for the last two months and even though I make the additional money teaching the spin classes and barely covering the new rent hike and I need to find a place to live
SB= why didn't you say something you knew we had an extra room
EF= honestly I felt like overstepping to even ask considering who was in that room. I knew I could never replace Otis then Nick Porter happened
SB= Foster I would have loved to have you there you are one of my best friend
EF= yeah
SB= of course
S= You got a live or who you love Brett you got to get Nick Porter our
EF= please
CZ= we're getting rid of Nick porter

General POV: Cruz and Brett figure out a plan to get Nick Porter out so they ask mouch to help what she does and it worked out in the long run. During lunchtime everybody is eating and Stella is looking at her cruise brochures that Eric gave her when Herman comes over to the table and notice she's hiding something under the table

H= what are you doing
S= shh trying to be discreet
H= a cruise
S= shhh
HC= Gross cruise ships are giant Petri dishes
S= what
H= he's not long you know I always wanted to try it but Cindy she's got a running tab of you know new stories about cruise ships hit with neural viruses outbreaks you know sewage back up all kinds of nasty crap
BG= I heard they have morgues on the ships in case people die
S= okay that's insane are you and Eric went on a cruise and loved it
CR= Eric loved it me I felt like I was trapped in a floating jail filled with old people don't tell him that he'd be crushed
S= Oh my God well what am I supposed to oh my God well what am I supposed to do now ( kelly walks in to the kitchen) for Kelly's surprise birthday trip
K= so that's what you've been up to
S= ugh dammit it's all gone to hell now
K= ( laughs) you don't have to do that
S= duh I know that I don't have to
( he kiss her)

The bells go off again for the prep school so the whole fire house head there to see if it was real or fake again. The headmaster finally agrees to help out by showing Kelly Matt and the chief the security footage to see if they could find the kid that pulled the fire alarm. They realize that the kid is still hiding near where the fire alarm was poured so they decide to go search the gymnasium. They search for a few minutes and still can't find and Kelly decide to go look at the locker room within a minute or two they found this little kid behind the shower curtain. The reason this kid was pulling the fire alarm was because he was getting picked on by other kids for being so little and plus he misses his friends so I thought if he pulled the fire alarm so many times he would get to school in trouble where they get shut down and he can go back to his old school. He felt sorry for what he did and wanted to make up to anybody who was hurt in the process so they told him to make A get well card for the gentleman that was trapped under the water heater from a couple calls ago and meet at the hospital to give it to him. Nick Porter finally decided to leave and go back home to his wife

Kelly's pov: ever since I talk to the chief and that about how weird Stella has been the last couple days I've been thinking about how over the last few months Stella has been staying over more and more it's been nice to see her each morning and each night but she still has all her stuff at her house I think it's time for her to officially move back in. I am happy to find out why Stella has been acting weird last two days because she was trying to plan something for my birthday I've never had a girl do that for me before that's why Stella is special and that's why I'm so in love with her. Right now I left bed after helping the little kid that pulled the fire alarms say sorry to the other victim from a couple days ago as I walk in my door I see that it's super dark in the living room I noticed there's a cake on the coffee table with a candle in it as I'm walking toward the cake Stella walks up behind me

K= what's this about my birthday is not for another couple days
S= ( kiss his neck) I know but I wanted to celebrate tonight anyways because I decided that we are not going on any crazy trips we're just gonna stay right there cozied up on the couch
K= that sounds perfect but
S= but
K= ( he turns around to be face-to-face with her) I don't want you to go somewhere else to be home anymore. Your station near shit always be here because you should always be here... Will you move in
S= all right what the hell you got a live with who you love bite
K= ( laughs) makes sense to me

They kiss and then Kelly pick Stella up and bring her to the couch to do some celebration for his birthday and for Stella's official move in

Authors note: this episode was amazing thank got stellaride is living together again now matt needs to move out. I think the whole Emily wanted to move in with cruz and Brett she should have spoke up and not just be quiet.
