Stella's pov; it's been a little over a month since Kinsley and Karter turned a year old it's crazy we have made it through a whole year with them they have been calling all over the place so we have been keeping an eye on them in the last few weeks they have been trying to stand up more so maybe in the next month they'll be walking which is crazy the girls turned 7 A week ago they also started school the day after their birthday so far everything has been going good with all the kids. Right now me and Kelly are at work
H= so Stella and Kelly how are Kinsley and Karter doing
K= they are doing well Herman
S= they started to stand up a little over a week ago
O= well that's cool
H= so have any of them decided to start walking yet
K= no they haven't Herman
S= Wait Herman did you ask that question because you and this whole fire house are betting on when they will walk or is it just because you wanna know
H= no way
S= ( looks at mouch) hey mouch do you want free beer at mollies for the next month
M= of course I do
S= then tell me if you guys are putting on when the twins will walk
H= don't you do it mouch
O= i'll do all your chores for the next two weeks if you don't say anything mouch
S= so what do you say mouch
CZ= stay strong mouch
M= ( Stella gets close to him) all right we did make a betting pole on when they would walk
H= really mouch your weak
M= she offered me free beers for month how can I say no to that
K= besides it's so hard to not tell Stella she can break people down and know what's going on within five seconds believe me
CZ= oh we do
S= ( phone rings) hey babe that's the kids school do you want to come answer it with me
K= yeah sure let's go to my office to answer it
S= al right ( in his office) hello this is Stella
PS= He still it's Mrs. Spencer your kids principal
S= Hello Mrs. Spencer I hope nobody is in trouble this time also by the way their father kelly is on the call too because I have you on speakerphone
PS= well hello Kelly and know your kids are in trouble this time at least right now
K= that's good to hear
PS= so the reason I'm calling is I need to set up a meeting to talk to both of you about something
S= you do I hope nothing is wrong
PS= no not at all whatever I need to talk to you guys about needs to be in person so when ever you have a couple hours to talk that be great
S= well right now we are at work
K= maybe after shift we can come talk to you
PS= that works for me when do you guys get off work
K= we get off tomorrow morning at nine how does 930 sound
PS= that works for me I'll see you close tomorrow morning
K= all right see you there ( hangs up)
S= I want to know what this is about
K= who knows
Before we can finish talking about what we think is going on or what is wrong the bells go off for squad and truck the rest of the shift we had mini back-to-back calls after a long shift the work was finally done
S= Dang this shift was long
K= tell me about it
S= but now we need to head off to the kids school to see what's going on there
K= oh yeah let's go
We head off to the kids school we arrive within 20 minutes
SA= how may I help you folks
S= yes we have a meeting with the principal we are Stella and Kelly severide
SA= give me one second
K= all right ( she leaves)
S= I wonder what class the kids are in right now
K= yeah who knows
PS= hey Stella hey Kelly thanks for coming in
S= it's no problem
PS= follow me into my office
K= all right ( they follow her)
PS= so first thing I would like to say that to you guys is your kids are some of the best kids that we have here
K= oh thank you Mrs. Spencer that means so much
PS= it's no problem anyways the reason I called this meeting was because I don't know if you guys know this but every year we start the school off by having the kids have to take a test to see how much they have learned and knew from the year before
S= oh yeah it's Luna's favorite day of the year
PS= well that brings me to my reasoning for this meeting that I called so Luna has always scored high on the test but this last time she scored the highest in the whole school
K= wow that's amazing
PS= oh yes so we have got an email from Bennett's Day school and they want to talk to you guys about inviting Luna to the school so that she can expand on her knowledge
S= wow that's amazing
PS= oh yeah so here is all the information I'll let you guys think it over and maybe ask Luna what she thinks about it
K= oh yeah
S= is there a timeline on when we need to give you an answer on this
PS= yes there is here in the next week would be great
K= all right we will think about it ask the kids and get back to you
PS=all right can't wait to hear back from you
We leave the principals office and head home we decide why we are alone we would run to the grocery store to grab some things that we need for the house. We wife home about two hours later the nanny leaves we put away the groceries and then hang out with the twins and Greyson until the older three come home from school about two hours later the younger ones are taking a nap again
K= shift was crazy
S= oh yeah tell me about
K= so I know it's been a couple hours since we met with Mrs. Spencer what are your thoughts about what she said
S= I was surprised at what she said
K= I know like we knew Luna what is a smart kid but I didn't know she was that smart
S= I know that's crazy
K= right but do you think she's ready for that school
S= It sounds like it but it will be a change for everybody
K= oh yeah I guess we will ask Luna Luna when she gets home from school to see what she thinks
S= yeah
We just watch a movie until the kids get home about three hours later, they get home and start on their homework, while Kelly fix super I get Greyson and the Twins up from a nap
K= so kids how was school
SM= it was great
SG= I made some new friends today
S= that's awesome sailor
K= so kids guess what

LM= wow that's cool
K= so cool well you actually scored the highest on the test in the whole school
SM= wow that's so cool way to go Luna
LM= thanks shay

K= do you know what elite means
LM= yes I do
S= well what do you think would you like to go there
LM= I don't know maybe
K= how about this we will call the school to see if we can set up a tour of the school so you and us can go check it out one day

K= you're welcome Lulu now go play before supper is done
LM= all right dad
Luna Goes to play while sailor and Shay finish up their homework, The rest of the night we eat dinner and just chill out as a family
Kelly's pov: it's been a little over a month since the twins turned a year old which is still so crazy to say but they are doing great they started to crawl at The first birthday which was amazing to see. The older kids went back to school a couple weeks ago and they are doing pretty great work has been pretty busy so that is fun The other day while me and Stella were on shift we connect random call from the kids school luckily no kids were in trouble but the principal wanted to talk to us the next day so we met with her and she told us that Luna scored very high on their test and an elite school was looking into wanting her to join their school. We talked it over with Her and she wants to check it out so the next day I called the school and set up a meeting with them today was the day we kept her home from school while everyone else went to school
K= girls are you ready yet we need to get going before we're late
S= don't worry Kelly we're coming
LM= yeah Dad we're coming us girls need a few more seconds longer than you so chill out
K= when did you start acting like your mother
LM= since I was born ( everyone laughs)
S= that's what you get when you have three daughters
K= haha very funny oh it's so are we ready to go then
LM= yes we are daddy
K= all right also you both look so pretty
S= why thank you babe
LM= yeah thank you daddy
S= all right let's go
We head off to the Bennett school we arrive
within 15 minutes and head inside
HS= hello how may I help you folks
K= Well we are here for a tour of the school this is Luna I'm Kelly and my wife Stella we are the severide
HS= oh yeah let me get the headmaster for you guys
S= all right
HM= hello I'm headmaster Addison nice to meet you folks
K= same here I'm Kelly this is my wife Stella
S= Nice to meet you Addison and this is Luna
HM= hey Luna nice to meet you
LM= hi Miss Addison
HM= so are you guys ready to see your school
S= yes we are
The headmaster takes us on a tour of the school while she tells us Emmeline about what they do there, about 30 minutes later we leave and decide to head to the firehouse to check in on everybody about 20 minutes later we arrive
O= oh I thought you guys took today off
K= we did
S= but we thought we would stop by to see everyone
CZ= hey Luna did you get to skip school
LM= yes I did uncle Cruz
H= hey guys why are you here and why are you dressed up so nicely
S= well Herman we wanted to come say hi
K= and we were dressing up like this because we had somewhere to be today that needed us to be dressed up nicely
M= you did where to
S= well we were just at Bennett Day school because Luna scored the highest on her state test that she did last week
MC= wow no way
SB= that's so cool way to go Lulu
LM= that's auntie Brett
SB= you're so welcome
H= wow you got a smart kid there
K= yes we did
S= hey Luna can you go read a book or maybe color in the bunk room
K= do you remember where the coloring books are
LM= yes I do daddy ( she leaves)
S= so since she's gone now The reason why we came by was because we wanted to ask your opinion on this topic
MC= you did that's cool
K= it was a great school
S= they had some great academics and they had some sports stuff that Luna could do
K= but we aren't sure if we should send her to the school or not
S= so we want to know what do you guys think we should do
H= well if any of my kids were as smart as Luna I think Sunday and I would send them to that school
MC= yeah same here
SB= I was like Luna in school I was always a smart kid and my parents had the option to send me to an elite school like that but they decided not to because they wanted me to have friends and didn't care about my knowledge
S= wow I never knew that Brett
SB= yeah well I wish my parents did so I could challenge my learning abilities and meet others that were like me
GD= I think you should send her to the school and not hold back her knowledge
K= thanks guys we will think about it and let you know what we decide
M= all right are you guys staying for lunch because Casey is cooking
K= well since he's cooking I don't see why not
S= couldn't agree more let me go get Luna
We stay at the fire house and eat lunch with them which ends up being about two hours of being there, after that we go and pick up the kids from school and head home when we get home Stella help the kids with their homework while I call my family to see what they think about the smart school for Luna. Later that night the younger Three are in bed and Shay and sailor are taking a bath
K= so Luna did you like that school that we went to today
LM= yes I did
S= so now that we seen the school do you want to go to that school now
K= you don't have to go to that school if you don't want to
LM= well I think after today I decided that I do want to go to that school
S= all right me and daddy will talk about it and then tell you what we decide in the morning
K= so go take a shower and we will be in to talk to you in in a few minutes
LM= all right dad ( she leaves)
S= so how did the phone call go with your family
K= It went well they are so proud of Linda for her test scores been that high and getting into that school
S= as they would be
K= they pretty much said the same thing as what the guy said at the fire house today about just sending her to that school because it's best for her
S= I think after we heard everyone's thoughts and going to see the school I think we should send Luna there
K= yeah I think so too
S= it's going to be a big change for everyone that is for sure
K= Oh yeah I like the kids will be going to two different schools now
S= oh yeah and you know this will be the first time that the girls will be separated since they were born
K= that is so true
S= I wonder how this will all play out for us
K= Who knows we will figure it out but right now let's go to bed
We go and tuck The kids in the bed and then head off to bed ourselves. The next day we call Mrs. Spencer to tell her our answer and she was happy with what we came up with she said she will email our stuff that we need. Later that day we get them fill them out and send them back to the school, A couple days later we are at work

LM= oh my god that's exciting
K= yes it is Luna
S= so this weekend me and you are going to go have a little date and go shopping for things you need for school how does that sound Luna
LM= that works
SG= this is so unfair
K= what do you mean
SG= just because Luna is a nerd and she gets a subject into this fancy school she gets to go on a little shopping trip I wanted to do that for a while also
S= we understand that sailor
K= but this shopping trip isn't for fun it's more to get things that Luna needs for school
SG= I don't care you guys have only cared about Luna this past week ( runs off)
K= salior come back here
S= hey Shay do you know what is going on with your sister
SM= um well last week she got 100 on both her math quiz And her spelling test she wanted to show you but that was the day you told Luna about the test scores
K= oh man
S= We haven't paid attention to her because we were so busy with the stuff of Luna I hope you aren't mad at us Shay that we haven't paid much attention do you
SM= no it's fine I completely understand you guys have busy schedules and you have so much to do with Greyson and the twins
K= you're a great kid shay
S= we are sorry if we forget you we will get better at that
SM= all right
K= I say let's go get sailor
S= all yeah ( in the girls room) hey Sailor it's mom and dad can we come in and talk to you
SG= ( upset voice) I guess you can
K= oh baby girl we hate to see you so sad
S= we want to say we are so sorry for not paying attention to you at all this week we got caught up with the stuff with Luna we really neglected you and another siblings
K= yeah we're sorry that we did that to you we do care about all of you not just one of you we messed up as parents this week I hope you can forgive us
SG= yes I can daddy ( hugs him)
S= can I have a hug too
SG= yes you can mommy ( she hugs her)
S= The best talk ever
K= totally the best but don't tell your siblings that we said that ( they laugh)
S= so how about this how about maybe after I take Luna shopping the next day I will take you shopping just for the fun how does that sound
SG= that works
K= that's good so can we see these tests that we heard that you've done so well on
SG= yes you can
Sailor goes and gets the test to shows us we are so proud of her for doing so well on her test. Me and Stella decide that maybe we should do some more one on one time with everyone, after her shopping trip with Luna she took sailor out the next day and it was well worth spending time with our kids We decided that once a month we will spend one on one time with all of the kids
AUTHORS Note; I hope you like this chapter and like it was all about luna please give me your feed back on the chapter. I think I got the right age for the girls but I can't remember sometimes if one of you guys can help that would be great
