Kelly's pov; it's been a couple since I brought up the idea of talking to Stella about getting married and now I've been thinking more and more about it to myself. Last night Stella and the rest of the fire house than that she passed her lieutenant test. I am So beyond proud of her it's now the next morning me and Casey got up before her and made some coffee about 10 minutes later she comes into the kitchen
MC= Hey there's another Lieutenant living in our apartment
K= so there is morning Lieutenant Kidd
S= ohh ( kiss Kelly) I like the sound of that but I don't have a position and I know I know it could take a while so I'm just going to focus on the fact I passed and be grateful
K= smart
S= yeah in speaking on that note I'm heading out to meet up with Suarez Because he passed two so we're gonna grab a little celebration coffee might even order a latte because I hear that's how officers do it
MC= cheers
K= i'll see you at the fire house
S= i'll see you ( she leaves )
K= i've been rethinking things
MC= how do you mean
K= this marriage idea maybe it's not the best move
MC= that's just a nurse talking
K= no I'm talking about something she said when we first got together she wanted to lay it all out there so she brought up her marriage and said I will never do it again because I don't ever want to be in a situation where I can't just leave.
MC= that was a long time ago but I'm not gonna fight you I get where you're coming from
I give up Maddie saying but I don't want to make Stella feel trapped ever again. About a half an hour later we head into work and then about an hour into work we get a call once we were done saving the man we headed back to the fire house and I ended up heading to the Chiefs office
CB= ah there he is have a seat
K= what's up
CB= I wanted to talk to the two of you about Kidd's Future there are no spots at 51 not even on other shifts and so unfortunately she will have to go elsewhere I want us to do whatever we can to make sure she's placed at a good house
MC= of course how can we help
CB= you can do some research and find out where the next opening is likely to Be and then lobby for her at the best house available
K= i'm happy to help if we search but I'll recuse myself when it comes to the lobbying
MC= no problem as her commanding officer I'll be glad to cover that part
CB= Great and don't mention this to Kidd
Just yet I don't want to get her hopes up Who knows how this will play out
MC= got it
K= appreciate everything you've done for Stella cheif so does she
CB= yeah
Once we leave the Chiefs office I guess start with something later on in the shift me and Matt put our minds together and see where we have come up with in our research
MC= ( on the phone) got it thanks for your help Deb onorato says the only opening she heard of is at Morning side
K= Slow and it's full of doctors it's no place for a go-getter like Stella
MC= no
K= I left messages for guys I know at a bunch of these other houses can you see if you have any connections, ( hands over a piece of paper) So how did it go talking to Dawson
MC= a little weird since it's been a while we're going to talk again after the metal ceremony when there's more time to catch up have a feeling that conversation will tell me a lot
K= ( phone rings) what's up rios... yeah I know that's real good to know thank you I appreciate it... yeah will do ( hangs up) Rios. Says the engine lieutenant at 66 McKenna might be retiring this year
MC= 66
K= yeah
MC= Busy well run
K= and battalion chief over there Cadell seems like a good guy
MC= that is good news I'll go talk to him right after shift
K= great
we Keep looking up options just in case this one falls through just to have a back up. I have to shift Matt goes to fire house 66 to talk to the chief about Stella's future to see if she can join that firehouse
BBC= McKenna's been threatening to retire for years not so sure he'll actually pull the trigger
MC= well if and when he does I want to tell you about a great possible replacement
BBC= you came all the way over here to sell me on a potential Lieutenant
MC= she's a special one still a kid just passes him in his body to go wish we had a spot open at 51. Kidd's then on my way for five years and I can't say enough about her she's tough loyal and worked as hard as anybody you'll ever meet. She's also a hell of a lot of fun to be around one of those people that when things get tough she makes everyone around her feel like it's okay. It's just her personality hopeful and bright if you know what I mean
BBC= I can't make any guarantees but I'll put her at the top of my list
MC= That's terrific Cheif all I can ask thanks for hearing
I was hoping to find out how it went but stella didn't have to work so I just went until the next day on shift to ask him what went down
MC= caddell's not sure when McKenna is leaving but he said he'll put Kidd at the top of The list
K= Nice work
MC= yeah it was good talk funny though middle of telling him about Kidd it hit me how hard it's going to be to let her go
K= you're telling me if she gets McKenna spot at 66 I'll get to see her once a day or two a week
He walks away. Innoway I hope this doesn't work out because if she is at another house I only see her a couple days a week I'll miss seeing her Like how I been seeing her every single day
Stella's POV: I can't believe I pass the tenants test and especially my first try I am not expecting to get a spot right away but I will hold out for something to pop up for me the sad part is I have to leave 51 because there is no Spot for me to be a lieutenant, and I will miss seeing kelly as much as I see him every single day. Right now we are having mouch awards ceremony I was happy for him but then when he made a speech and said" 51 is the best place in the world" it made me sad again because I might have to leave the best fire house in the city. Right after the ceremony was over the bells go off and it was time to go to a call. I am a course of Casey like usually if not more people inside.
MC= we'll search the kitchen you guys check that hallway
K= copy that Capp let's go
We start searching and then a minute later we see Capp with A person
MC= kitchen is clear where's severide
HC= Searching one last time in the
S= I'll go give him a
MC= okay come on bud let's go
S= Kelly Kelly
K= all right we're all clear let's go ( fire grow fast)
CB= what was that seceride, Kidd Report
K= hey chief we're good but we got a find another way out going to try the bathroom window go
CB= squad go meet your lieutenant at the bathroom window
CZ= copy that chief hey Severide I'm looking at the security gate here give us
K= hey screw that I think I saw another window in the back come on
S= all right ( move to the other room)
K= help me with us
S= yep ( move the file thing and starts smashing the window out)
K= you didn't have to come find me you should have gone out with your company
S= no way I am never going to leave you don't you get that by now
K= ( pauses and takes off his mask ) I don't ever want you to leave me ( gets down on one knee) ( Stella takes off her mask) Stella Kidd Will you marry me
S= ( starts crying) hell yeah I will Kelli severude I will ( they kiss )
Just for a minute I can't believe this man just asked me to marry him and of course in the middle of a fire. After we got done celebrating for a second we got back to getting out of this fire it worked. Who is the shit we both were so happy I'm surprise nobody noticed but luckily I didn't have to work at Molly so we went home and started celebrating our engagement A little early later that night in bed
S= today was so perfect I don't want it to end can we make it never end
K= I promise it's only going to get better and there will be a ring soon to make it official
S= do you know I don't get caught up in that stuff all I need is you( kiss) actually um I take it back I'll take the ring ( laughs and kisses)
we spend the rest of the night celebrating the most perfect day ever after while we both are asleep in each others arms just being the happiest people on earth
Authors note; oh my god Kelly asked stella to marry him finally but he did in the most perfect spot for them which is in the middle of a fire. I think why he did it then was when she said " I'm never going to leave you" it set off a lightbulb in his head that this girl will never leave him no matter what. I don't think so though we 51 I think they'll figure out a way to keep her I don't think anybody knows they are engaged yet I don't know how because they seem different after the fire. Also loved how Matt talked about stella to that cheif, Friendship goals . Hopefully Matt stay out late that night because o don't think stella and Kelly were quiet at all . Also do you guys think anyone knows their engaged yet.
