LS= Leslie Shay
Kelly's POV; right now me and Stella are just relaxing on the couch we just got done putting shade of bed for the night every night I've been massaging her feet since they are hurting her in the stage of pregnancy. I look over at her and see that she starting to fall asleep
K= hey baby you want to go to bed you look tired plus you keep falling asleep
S= that's sounds like a good plan
K= all right ( he gets up) let's go
We go into our bedroom once we both are changed into our PJs we get into bed Stella cuddles and to me and she instantly falls asleep . As I am still lying awake I start thinking about something that happened at work today and how she would've loved it and how she would've laughed at the jokes everybody was making. And I started to think about how proud she would be of me for being a good man the Stella and for being a good father to Shay. She would laugh so hard when I would tell her that we are having twins and make some kind of jokes of you couldn't just have one you had to have two at once. As I think about that my eyes start to close and I fall into a deep sleep
In Kelly's dream
I wake up like normal before Stella does I get up and go out to the kitchen and start making us some breakfast which would be fun to toast when I get done making it I start to hear Shay waking up so I go and get him from his sleep so he doesn't wake up Stella
K= hey buddy sleep well
SM= yes daddy
K= all right come here ( he picks him out of the crib and then smell something stinky) oh little man you stink let's get you changed
SM= yea
Once I get him changed I walk out in the kitchen right when I'm getting ready to put Shay in his highchair somebody knocks on the door
K= Who could that be this morning do you know buddy
SM= no
K= could it be grandma or grandpa or even aunt Katie making a surprise visit yet again
SM= I don't know
K= let's go and see
Once we open the door I was in disbelief and shock that this person was standing in front of me there was no way that my Shay was right here in front of me alive and well
LS= hey stupid
K= wait what I am about to pass out
LS= OK here hand me the kid and let's go sit down on the couch ( he pass over Shay)
K= this doesn't make any sense
LS= I know I will explain everything to you just take a breath
About 5 minutes later
LS= are you OK now
K= I think so now tell me what is going on
LS= well after The warehouse accident the doctors was able to figure out a way to fix my brain I was in a coma for a year but I was able to wake up after that year.
K= shay why didn't you call us or even call me to say you were alive
LS= my family thought I shouldn't Megan seen how much you guys were still hurting when she saw you and figured you guys had moved on enough without bringing that pain back into you guys lives so I agreed
K= well we weren't I had a very bad time after the warehouse just ask Casey and everyone else
LS= that's what I heard so may I ask who this sweet little boy is
K= oh my God of course Leslie Shay meet Shay Matthew severide
LS= oh my God you named him after me that's so cool
K= actually I didn't come up with his name
LS= then who did
In the other room Stella wakes up because she's hearing more than one voice out in the other room and once she gets to the doorway she's in disbelief who she thinks in her living room so she speaks up
S= hey babe what's going on
K= hey babe this is Leslie Shay my Shay
S= I can see that
LS= and who might this be
K= well this is Stella she is my wife and this little guy's mother
LS= wow you got married that is a shocker
K= I know right
LS= it's nice to meet you Stella
S= you too I'm happy I get to meet the person I got to name my son after
LS= same here so you decided to name your child after me
S= yes I did you mean so much to Kelly I figured arson needed a name that honor someone we cared about
LS= that was super sweet so I figured his middle name is after Casey right
K= oh yeah so besides this little man the firehouse has three more candidates to join in about 20 years from now Stella is pregnant with twin girls
LS= oh my god that's amazing you really couldn't just have one girl could you Kelly
K= I know just couldn't have one girl ( they all laugh)
S= yes he did but we are so happy that we are having twin girls I'm just happy it wasn't twin boys I don't want to be out numbered in this house
LS= I bet so who's the other candidate besides your girls
K= well Casey and Dawson had a little boy he is a few months older than Shay
LS= no way that's cool so what's their little guys name
S= his name is Jonathan Andrew Casey
LS= That's a awesome name so do you guys have the girls names picked out already
K= yes we do their names are going to be Sailor Grace and Luna Marie severide
LS= those are perfect names
K= thank you it took us a while to come up with the names but we love them
LS= totally understand I am getting hungry got any food around here
S= we should right babe
K= yeah we do wait I just cooked the last of our French toast and it's probably cold by now how about I just one down the street and grab some breakfast from the diner
S= I can do that so that you too can catch up
K= no it's fine I'll go I kind a need some air anyways to process all this in my mind right now plus this will give you guys a chance to get to know each other
S= okay do you want to take a little man with you
K= I don't know buddy do you want to go with me or stay with mommy
SM= mommy
K= I guess he wants to stay are you Okay with that
S= oh yea go get some food before I go crazy because I'm don't have any food in my belly
K= all right be right back
( Kelly leaves)
LS= so Stella tell me about yourself
S= well besides being a mom I am a firefighter at 51 I also am a certified paramedic.
LS= wow that's impressive
S= yes still the only female firefighter at 51 so that's good
LS= oh yeah girl power. So how did you meet Kelly did you meet him when you came to firehouse 51
S= I actually met him a couple years before I came to 51 when he was the teacher at the Academy he kind of flirted with me then
LS= of course he did
S= yeah and he somehow found out where I lived one day and he came over to my place we hung out for a few got to know each other for a while but then my husband at the time came home
LS= no way but of course it would only happen to Kelly no offense
S= none taken I get what you're saying but I got my ex to not press charges on Kelly and I didn't see Kelly until I joined 51 a couple years back
LS= well that must've been fun to see him after all those years
S= oh yeah but it was nice to see someone at the firehouse I knew besides Gabby
LS= that's a good point so where did you meet Gabby
S= we met in one of the training classes at the Academy
LS= that's good
( Kelly comes back)
K= hey I am back
SM= daddy
K= hey buddy
LS= so I have a question
K= sure what's up
LS= I wonder this since I walked in the door and seeing you guys interact with Shay. But is Shay a mama's boy or a daddy's boy
K= he is such a mama's boy
LS= do I sense a little jealousy or am I just crazy
K= no way
S= you are sensing right but he shouldn't be since he was a mama's boy also
LS= Oh he was I never knew that but it makes sense
K= can we not talk about me anymore let's just eat her breakfast
LS= fine let's eat
We eat our breakfast
SM= all done
S= all right here let me put you down ( she puts Shay on the ground) you can go play with all your toys now
LS= so catch me up what's happened at the firehouse since I left
K= well Boden and Donna had a baby it was a boy and they named him Terrence
LS= that's amazing
S= gabby and Matt finally got married back in 2016
LS= Took them long enough
K= tell me about it I lived with them for a while after the warehouse
LS= you did that that must've been fun for you
K= oh yeah
LS= whah about Cruz, Otis and mouch
K= well mouch got married
LS= he did who did he marry
S= he got married to Trudy Platt the Sarge at 21st
LS= no way how did that happen
K= they meet at Boden's wedding and hit it off
LS= that's so nice
S= Otis and cruz finally got themself a girlfriend
K= but guess who got a girlfriend first
LS= let me guess Cruz
S= nope you are wrong it was Otis that had a girlfriend first
LS= no way I am shocked
K= yeah we all wore when I happen but we're happy for him
LS= how's my favorite dog doing
K= plouch he is doing Okay he is living with this little boy who lost his mother
LS= that's good happy for the little boy
S= yeah he only came to the firehouse to visit the dog and didn't really care much about firetrucks or anything related to fire
K= The reason he came to the firehouse was I was doing his mom a favor that was a cop she asked me to watch him because she didn't have anybody to watch him plus she was working on a high profile case and thought he be safer at the firehouse but right before she testified against somebody she got shot and killed
LS= that's so sad
S= yeah that's why Kelly decided to give him plouch so he had somebody to be there for him
LS= that was nice of you
K= yeah I thought he needed somebody and he love that dog so it made sense to give him the dog. Plus the dog look like he wanted to go with him anyways
LS= that's good so how long have you two been married
K= A little over two years
LS= that's good so when was little man born
S= he was born on March 22 which happened to be our one year anniversary
LS= that must've been a nice gift for you guys
K= oh yeah he was a week overdue and we didn't think he would come out anytime soon
LS= he was being stubborn just like his dad
K= no way he was being stubborn like his mother more than me
S= he is stubborn just like the both of us
LS= you guys seem like you are doing the best as parents
K= why thank you team effort
( Stella noticed Shay was falling asleep on the floor)
S= looks like little man is ready for his nap already
K= yes he does I can take him to bed for you
S= that's sweet of you but it's Okay I'll do it you catch up with your friend
K= all right thanks babe have a great nap little man ( kiss his forehead)
S= say night night daddy
LS= sleep well little Shay
SM= night night
S= be right back
K= all right ( Stella walks away and Kelly turns around and see shay looking at him) what
LS= I am just happy you are happy
K= thank you
LS= I got to get going
K= you do that's okay
LS= yeah I got to go see everybody else like Gabby
K= I understand
LS= I just want to tell you before I go that I love Stella she is just the best thing that I think happened to you and you have the best little boy ever
K= why thank you
LS= you're welcome if only I live close by me and Stella would be trouble together against you
K= tell me about it plus Gabby, Stella and you would be trouble together against me and Matt
LS= you guys got lucky with just having Stella and Gabby at once
K= yes we did
LS= well goodbye Kelly
K= no we say see you soon now not goodbye
LS= all right see you soon I love you Kelly
K= I love you too shay
LS= now wake up
K= what do you mean
( he wakes up)
I just realize that this was all a dream that I just imagine it's a little sad but at the same time it made me feel better knowing she would've loved Stella and love Shay. So I look over and see Stella still asleep in my arms so I just smile and kiss her temple and I start to feel her wake up after a few seconds
S= good morning
K= Good morning babe did you sleep well
S= I slept as well as I can with these girls taking turns kicking my bladder
K= that sounds like fun
S= speaking of which I got to go
K= all right ( he lets her go and get up and use the restroom and she comes back within five minutes)
S= so since you asked how I slept how did you sleep last night
K= I actually slept pretty good last night
S= that's good at least one of us is sleeping well during the night
K= yeah just wondering did you have any dreams last night
S= not that I can remember did you
K= I did and I wish the dream was real
S= you did May I ask what the dream was about
K= of course not my dream was about my Shay
S= you did what happened in the dream that she was in
K= well in this dream she was alive she said she survive The warehouse accident And the reason why none of us knew why she survived was she was in a coma for a year and by time she woke up her sister Megan told her about how we all were handling moving on from her yet so she decided to stay away.
S= that sounds like how you described her
K= that's the way she is
S= what else happened in the Dream
K= well you were in my dreams and you got to meet her and so did our son
S= that's cool so was this dream before I was pregnant with the twins or was it what I look like now because I probably didn't look pretty at all in that dream
K= you looked fantastic with your pregnant belly in my dreams
S= I hope so
K= but in my dream we all just hung out in our house and she asked how everybody was doing since she left
S= that's good
K= by the end of my dream she told me how much she would of loved you and our son
S= I wish I got to know her
K= same here but also she told me if she was alive you Her and Gabby would make mine and Matt's life a wild ride. Like you guys would all gang up on us it be you three against us
S= you bet we would
K= The last thing she said was she is just happy I'm happy and how perfect you sing for me she is glad with how my life has turned out since she's left
S= that probably helped you the most for her to say that to you even though it was a dream
K= oh yeah ( kiss her temple)
( shay wakes up)
S= speaking of our son he is waking up
K= I will go get him
S= okay
2 minutes later
K= look there's mommy
S= hey little man
( shay reaches out for Stella and they hug)
K= your aunt Shay would've loved you ( he kiss his head) that is from your aunt Shay she loves you
S= and we love you
I'm so glad I had that dream it made me realize that I have grown up a lot since I lost shay and I'm actually proud of myself I can't wait to meet these two new little girls to show them what a great guy I am and how much their mother change me
Authors note: I hope you like this chapter. I randomly thought about what if shay was alive what would she think of Stella I feel like she would've loved her so that's why I came up with this chapter.
