A/N: Thanks for the follows and comments! In this chapter, Clarke is still filling in for Boden. I love you guys! Enjoy Chapter 2!
She knew Matt went through a hard time in high school. She couldn't help him at all. It was heartbreaking for her to watch her best friend get bullied and not helping him at all. She never really did anything. She was used to having her brother around helping her. Cally was too scared to tell Cullen that Matt was getting bullied. Cailin was just a small weak child when she was young. Growing up, she lived with 5 brothers; she knew how to keep her emotions to herself. Andy didn't even know anything about the bullies. Cailin knew she had to protect herself from the bullies, which were one of the reasons she ended up becoming a cop. The other reasons were too painful to think about. She was happy not becoming a lawyer, she loves being a cop. Cailin never actually told anyone any personal secrets. She was way too shy to talk about it. Cailin didn't have any friends that were girls, mainly because she was used to having so many brothers her whole life.
"Are you okay, babe?" Jeff asked with a worried look.
"Yes, I'm fine Jeff," She said looking at the clock on her nightstand, "Shit; I am going to be late. I have to go."
"Wait Cal," He said as he grabbed her wrist and brought her to their bed, "Talk to me."
"I'm fine, Jeff. I really am," She looked at her husband.
"No you're not. I've seen that look many times. C'mon we are taking a walk," Jeff said bringing her towards the door.
They walked in the sunny morning, they both had shift today in a couple hours. They walked in silence and Cally looked frustrated. Clarke arm found its way around her waist and pulling her closely.
"Look at me Cally," Jeff said to her, "What's going on?"
"Nothing. I'm fine," She assured to him.
"I don't believe you. I'm worried Cally. You can tell me anything," Clarke looked at her with worry in his eyes.
"High School Reunion. High School didn't go well for me and Matt. He was bullied and abused. I was mostly protected by one of my brothers, but when they weren't there, I was bullied all the time," She replied looking embarrassed.
"Don't be embarrassed, I'll go with you and be your hot fireman husband. Everyone will be jealous," He winked at her and smirked, "I love you Cally. Always remember that."
"Thank you Jeff. I love you too." She said as her lips meet his and letting their passion run wild.
"Let's go home now," He said, when he broke off her kiss.
He drove silently, trying not to think about high school. He loves his life now, with Gabby, and his family at the firehouse. He loves Gabby and they are going to get married in 5 months. He is head over heels for her. His mother used to tell him he was worthless, useless, fat, and loser. Who would know that the future, his best friend is married and he is engaged to the most beautiful girl.
"I love you," He said as he pulled his truck up to the curb by the station.
"I love you too," She smiled at him, "Now give your girl a kiss."
Matt looked around to make sure nobody was watching and leaned in to give her a passionate, yet loving kiss.
When they got out of Matt's truck, they saw Clarke pull in with Cally in the passenger seat.
Cally waved to Matt when she got out, she wanted to talk to him.
"I'm going to change," Gabby said as he nodded.
"Hey Matty. How are you feeling?" Cally asked.
"I should be asking you that too," Matt snapped, trying not to look at her eyes.
"Hey! Matt! I'm just worried. You know you can talk to Gabby. I'm fine. I don't need to think about the past. I have Jeff with me every step of the way," Cally said.
"I will talk to her. I'm sorry for yelling at you like that. Thank you," Matt said as he walked into the firehouse.
"Lieutenant! There is someone here to see you in the briefing room!" Cally heard Hermann yell.
Matt walked toward the briefing room and peeked through the blinds to see who it was.
Matt's breath caught this throat and he ran out of the firehouse and got into his truck and drove.
"Crap," She grumbled, "I have to go find him. Can you do me a favor, Jeff?"
"Of course, What is it?" he asked curiously.
"Can you try to find out who is in the briefing room? If that person doesn't tell you who it is? Can you take a picture of the person for me? Don't let the person find out," Cally said.
"Okay. Go find him. Be careful babe. I love you," Clarke said.
"You too, cowboy. I love you too," Cally said giving him a quick kiss on the lips and getting in the car and driving off.
Clarke walked towards the briefing room and knocked before he walked in. She looked a lot like Casey. The eyes, smile, and the body posture is exactly same as Casey. She looked in her late 50's with dirty blonde hair.
"Hi, My name is Jeff Clarke. May I ask what you are doing here?" He asked nicely.
"You are a Clarke? I heard Cailin married a Clarke? You have a wedding ring. Are you that jerk's husband?" That person asked as politely as possible.
"Um… May I ask who you are first?" Clarke asked, curiously, trying to change the subject.
"I am someone who knows Matthew Casey ever since he was born. You should tell him that. Also, you should tell that jerk, Cailin that Mama Casey is back," She said, happily walking out of the briefing room.
"Okay," He said, trying not to punch her in the face for saying that his wife was a jerk.
Clarke walked out, furious at what Casey's mother had said.
He dialed Cally's number, hoping for her to answer.
"Clarke, do you know who it is?" Cally said.
"I think I might need to tell you in person," He said, "Where are you now?"
"I'm at Lincoln Park trying to find Casey. He stopped here somewhere," She grumbled.
"I'll meet you there in 10. You will never believe who it is," He said as Cally hung up the phone.
Casey's mother is back. She is back.
