Stella's POV: It's been a couple weeks since I am officially been living with Kelly again and it's been amazing waking up to Kelly every morning. Today is shift day and we all are getting dressed into our work clothes while I was putting my stuff away in my locker I hear Joe start going on about his upcoming wedding with the other guys
CZ-= monogram napkins monogram cutely they can even put our initials in the wedding cake
M= what kind of cake
CZ= that's another decision we have to make uh no Chloe made this ( shows off his wedding binder) to keep track of it all., work 27 flavors to choose from and I didn't even know that there were 27 flavors
M= Focus on the positive Cruz got a bachelor party coming up right
CZ= ugh Great something else I need to play
HC= I hope they have gluten-free options gluten is poison
As the guys continue to talk I walk over to Kelly's side of the lockers to see if he heard all of it that Joe was talking about
K= I think I left my wallet
S= did you not even here Cruz spinning out just now
K= yeah weddings
S= Kelly you're his best man he needs your help
K= Okay as soon as I find my wallet
S= Okay well ( pulls the wallet out of my pocket and handed it over to kelly) you left it on the kitchen counter aren't you glad I moved in
K= ( laughs) yeah I am ( they kiss)
Once I give him his wallet and a kiss I walk away and go get me some coffee and maybe some food before one of the girls goes off to go to a call. Kelly finally starts trying to be the best man. We get called to the scene within 20 minutes about a gas leak before we can even get inside the house it blows up. And then me and Gallo gets sent in to rescue a little girl that was trapped inside. Once we got her to safety and onto the stretcher in headed off to med with Brett and Foster, I noticed that gallo was looking at his hand a little too much like it may have got injured.
S= Great work in there you all right
BG= I just ... I can't ... I just it's nothing
MC= what a doctor make that call we'll drop you off at med
BG= Yeah
We drop him off at med to get his hand checked out about 30 minutes later he comes back
S= hey how's the arm
BG= like I said no big deal
S= nice and uh the little girl form the fire
BG= uh they uh put her in a coma because of the pain
S= hey the girl could've died you gave her a chance
BG= yeah
He walks away I am a little worried about him so I will probably be checking in on him throughout the day. Later on I see that he's checking the truck tires to see if there's a leak
S= we got a leak
BG= I don't know why
S= you check those tires at the top of shift
BG= yeah I figured I'd check them again
S= all right knock yourself out ( walks over to squad three table where some guys are at ) hey boys you hear gallo got cooked this morning welcome him to the club
All= hey ( cheer)
CZ= you're A real fire fighter now
S= hey Herman show him your scar
H= shut up all right look ( Lifts up his shirt) back in 92 I pulled a couple of newlyweds out of a burning vehicle Cindy said it kind of looks like Texas
CZ=( pulls down his shirt to show off his neck) Burning embers got caught up in my collar at a boarding school fire about six years ago hey Tony show him your ears
TF= ( shows his scar on his ear) always wear your hood gallo
BG= okay ( to Stella) where was yours
S= ha Nice try only Kelly gets to see that one come on show them the goods ( he does)
All= ouch
HC= well done
H= yeah well you lucked out if you had if it had been your other arm you'd have to say goodbye to Violet Fitbit
CZ= excellent placement Gallo ladies are going to be able to see that even if you don't roll up your sleeves
BG= yeah I planned it like that
( Gallo walks away and Kelly comes out on the apparatus floor)
K= hey cruz Cruz
CZ= yeah
K= Heard back from my buddy Mark as he owns this great club in the West Loop said we can buy out the whole place for a song you be there tomorrow at five for a walk-through
CZ= Great absolutely
Once I cheered Gallo up and Kelly finally start doing the best man duties I walked back into the bunk room to do something when Gallo follows behind me
BG= hey... I will you appreciate what you did back there you know boosting me up
S= oh you were out of sorts
BG= yeah uh that Girl was seven years old so I guess uh I guess I'm having trouble getting her out of my head
S= I get it I've learned that uh. When you catch a real brutal call you know the ones that stay behind your eyes when you close them at night that's when you gotta rely on the firefighters in your house we have a circle here that never closes so you talk to whoever you need to whenever you need to and will be there for you because that's how it works
BG= well thanks I appreciate
S= yeah ( gallo walks away)
MC= that seven-year-old girl that is the same age his sister was when she died
Once Casey told me that Gallas little sister was seven when she was killed in that fire it made sense for the reason why he's been acting supersensitive today. After another gas call at night time I decide to go look up Gallo's families fire to understand what really went on. The next chef day I'm in the laundry room trying to fold a fitted sheet when gallo passes by me
S= Gallo I heard you stop by med to check on the little girl again
BG= what are you tracking my movements
S= hacked into your Fitbit ( laughs) Will Halstead was at Molly's last night
BG= oh well yeah uh she um luckily had her first surgery it went well doctors are optimistic
S= that's great news
BG= still in a coma
S= no bey none of that focus on the positive all right and then when that doesn't work you need to throw yourself into the job. Do you know how to fold a fitted sheet
BG= yes it's easy
S= yea I
BG= not like this ( grabs the sheet)
S= yeah
BG= what you do is first find the corners this nice line here
S= looks great
BG= now you gonna put this corner one goes to the other corner so you get that nice straight line
S= hate you you know what you throw yourself into the job ( hands over the other fitted sheets)
BG= whoa
S= yeah.
Once I leave gallo with some sheets to fold I go and check in on Kelly to see how last night went with Cruz I overhear their Conversation
K= Cruz
CZ= hey Lieutenant
K= how did things go with Marcus
CZ= oh great
K= hey sorry I couldn't make it but Marcus will hook you up just give him the date tell him what you need
CZ= sure thing thanks
S= you stood him up
K= what no I was busy trying to keep the city from exploding cruz understand I found him a venue
S= Kelly when I said quiz need your help I didn't mean that he needs a party planner I mean he needs his best man
After I say that to Kelly I just walk away and let him think about it the next night after shift me and Kelly go to Molly's I hope you finally listen to what I said. I get him and Cruz a beer so maybe they could talk
K= thank you
S= you're welcome
K= ( puts the beer down) looks like you could use it
CZ= thanks Lieutenant
K= talk to me cruz how's it going
CZ= It's not supposed to be like this Chloe and me every day it's decisions it's stress I can't remember the last time we just had fun I feel like what is this is a mistake and what if getting married just ruined everything between us I mean it could be a disaster
K= Then don't get married
CZ= Don't get married and just lose the best thing that ever happened to me a woman like her comes around once in a lifetime I'll be crazy to let her go
K= sounds like you should marry her then
CZ= yo this best man thing you know what you're doing
K= yeah I'm trying to tell Stella that. ( he looks over at Stella and she winks at him)
One Kelly looks over at me I know he finally listen to what I said and he's trying to step up to be the be the best manAfter my shift at mollies me and Kelly head home once we get home we start heading off to bed when Kelly speaks up
K= hey you know you are the best right
S= why thank you babe but where is that even coming from
K= when I was talking to Cruz it made me think
S= oh really it did
K= yes it did
S= what did you guys talk about
K= he was telling me how stressful this wedding planing is and he is thinking it was a mistake to get married because it might ruin what they have so I told him then don't get married
S= Kelly you didn't tell him that
K= I did but then what he said next made me really think of you
S= what did you say
K= that girls like Chloe only come around once in a lifetime and he's right because I found my once-in-a-lifetime girl and that you
S= oh how sweet
K= yeah also you are the best thing that's ever happened to me too
S= you are the sweetest thing ever now take me to bed because I am tired
K= yes ma'am
We head off to bed
Authors note: first off yay we get three more seasons we got renewed for three more seasons that's amazing I didn't think we'd get renewal for at least another couple months let alone get three more seasons at once that's amazing. also love that Stella said only Kelly can see her scar. there was a scene where Matt told Kelly that he could be the married guy one day I love Matt for that
