Disclaimer: I own nothing except Abbey, Andrew, Chase and Logan

a/n: Thank you to everyone who reviewed last chapter and also those who favourited/followed it .So Abbey finds herself with her sons joining the academy and her fears as a mother keep plaguing her. I hope you like this latest chapter.

It had been two days since the twins had told Abbey about their wish to join the fire academy and although she was putting up a front for everyone, inside, she was a mess. She stood in front of the kitchen counter, preparing dinner for everyone. She looked out the window and into the yard, her hands had stilled their movements and her mind wasn't anywhere near here.

"Why so far away?" Matt was leaning against the kitchen doorframe, looking at his wife with a smile, knowing what was on her mind.

"Nothing." Abbey's hands started chopping again so the food would be ready on time.

"You're a terrible liar." He walked farther into the kitchen and wrapped his arms around Abbey's mid-section, kissing her temple.

"I'm aloud to worry Matt." She slapped the knife on the counter, releasing a sharp breath.

"Hey. I didn't say you're not aloud to worry." He turned her around and she leaned against the counter, her palms pressing on the cool surface. "You wouldn't be a very good mother if you didn't worry about your kids but we can't protect them from everything and we have to guide them in their career choices."

"What if I can't? I don't know if I can handle worring about the twins. I already worry so much about you and Andrew.

"Look at it that way. They'll have each other's backs at the academy and they carry the Casey genes, they'll do great in the CFD."

"That's what worries me so much. It's the Casey genes that make yo do the right thing all the time and sometimes the most dangerous thing when you guys are on calls, Andrew is just like you but on Squad." She turned as she realised someone was in the kitchen.

"Mom? You never told me this." He had heard pretty much the whole conversation as he entered the house not long after his father.

"I always worry about the four of you and that'll never change." She smiled as he came to hug her. "Speaking of four. Where are your brothers?" She changed the subject in an effort to keep her nervousness at bay.

"With Jen and Sophie at the mall." Matt chuckled at the irony of that statement. The boys hated shopping.

"Well you can thank Kelly Severide for that." Abbey elbowed Matt in the ribs, turning back around to finish dinner.

"Did I hear my name?" Kelly magically appeared in the kitchen doorway.

"Don't you ever knock?" She countered.

"Do you ever lock your door?" She tilted her head as the boys laugh, he did have a point.

"What's up uncle Kelly?" Andrew greeted him with a hug.

"I came to borrow your dad. Do you have a minute?"

"Sure." Abbey wondered what business Kelly had with Matt outside of shift that they couldn't adress at Molly's tonight.

"You can stay here Andrew, help me with dinner." She pulled her eldest to her as he was about to follow Matt and Kelly in the living room. They stood side by side as they started cutting the vegetables again, Abbey's mind going to what Kelly could have to tell Matt in the other room.

"What do you have for me?" Matt looked behind him to make sure no one was there.

"I talked with chief Thomas and he said he'd keep me updated with the boys progress."

"Thanks. Abbey's been stressing out about the boys joining the academy and I just want to put her mind at ease a little bit."

"I can't even imagine how's she's dealing with all four of you at the CFD. I know my mom flipped when I told her I wanted to join the CFD like dad."

"When Andrew joined the CFD, she wasn't surprised, he was so much like me in so many ways." He chuckled, remembering when Andrew had given them the news.

"He's doing great and the boys will too, just like their father." He clapped Matt on the shoulder.

"I know but she'll always worry."

"I know. So I'll see you guys over at Molly's later?"

"We'll be there."

"Alright, bye Abbey."

"Bye." She screamed from the kitchen. "See you later at Molly's." Kelly left as the twins came walking through the door, looking first at Kelly then at their dad.

"Hey dad, is everything ok?"

"Everything's fine. How about you boys?" He asked, knowing where they were.

"Everything is great dad." They answered at the same time, something that often happened.

"Uh huh." He laughed. "Come help me set the table you goofs." Both Chase and Logan walked past their dad and into the kitchen to grab some plates, giving their mom a kiss on the way.

They sat down and ate as a family, the boys telling their parents about the academy and what was the next step. Abbey was pretty quiet during dinner and even with Matt's reassuring leg squeezes, the worry pit in her stomach didn't go away. All three boys were in charge of cleaning up, Abbey disappearing up the stairs and into a shower to get ready for Molly's. When she came out, a towel around her body and her wet hair hanging loose, Matt was waiting for her on the bed, holding a family picture when Andrew graduated from the academy with flying colours.

"What do you got there?" She moved to her dressed, knowing full well what Matt was holding in his hands.

"Andrew's graduation." He put the frame down on their bed and walked up to her, placing his hands on her hips and kissing her neck, prompting her to close her eyes, butterflies still there after twenty something years. "You remember how you felt when he graduated?"

"I was so proud of him." She exhaled and hung her head down. "I'm proud of both Chase and Logan but I'm scared Matt." She finally turned around and faced him.

"I know baby and I'm worried too but you have raised great boys."

"We have raised great boys." She corrected him.

"And they will be just fine. A lot of people are looking out for them and Kelly and I will show them everything we know. Do you trust me?"

"With all I have." He leaned in closer and kissed her.

"Than our boys will be fine."

"Ok." Matt pulled her to him and kissed her but that kiss quickly escalated, Matt pulling the towel away from Abbey's body.

"Have I told you how incredibly sexy you are right now?" He kissed her neck and made his way farther down, Abbey closing her eyes from the feeling of bliss that was washing over her.

"You're only saying that to get inside my pants." Her breathing was ragged now.

"I don't believe you're wearing pants right now." He turned her around, eliciting a squeal from her. "You need to be quiet baby." He chuckled as he removed his clothes, kissing her as he went before her knees buckled against their bed. Matt finished undressing himself and they enjoyed some intimate time together, totally oblivious to the boys moving around downstairs. They ended up showering together before getting ready for their night out at Molly's.

"I swear, you are trying to kill me in that." He growled as he saw her in her lace underwear.

"Keep it in your pants Matt Casey, our friends are waiting for us."

"I think they can wait for us a little while longer." He moved closer to her and kissed her lips. She reluctantly but gently pushed him away from her.

"How about you imagine me in this for the evening and have your way with me when we get home?" She slipped in black, form fitting pants before putting on a hot, black top on.

"You are the devil."

"I've never heard you complain before."

"Oh I'm not. I just know how lucky I am to have you in my arms every single day."

"Smooth talker." She smiled and kissed him before turning around and applying a deep shade of red lipstick to finish her look. Matt put a pair of jeans and a black button down shirt before they grabbed their coats and heading out to Molly's

"The twins were supposed to stay in and get everything ready for their first day at the academy the following morning and Andrew didn't have definite plans just yet.

They walked into a packed Molly's, finding their friends in the back, everyone crammed in several booths. Otis and Brett were enjoying a date night away from their teenage daughter Mia, huddled together in a small booth. Herrmann and Gabby were tending the bar and Mills was with his Squad buddies, laughing in a booth, everyone a beer in hand. Lilly was at a high table with some girlfriends, shyly looking eyeing a boy that caught her eye. The rest of truck was sitting at the bar joking around and I found the person I was looking for. He was nursing a beer and laughing with Shay.

"Grab me a beer Matt?"

"Sure." Matt went to squeeze between Mouch and Jimmy and ordered something for himself and Abbey.

"Hey Kelly, Shay." She hugged Shay tightly and kissed Kelly on the cheek. "Can I steal you for a few seconds?"

"I will be over there." She got up and gave Abbey her stool, giving her friends some privacy.

"Sure, what's up Abbey?"

"I just want to thank you for having Chase and Logan's backs with the CFD." She smiled, Matt having told her what Kelly was doing for them.

"It's nothing. I know you're worried about them but if that can help, I'm happy to do it. I love them like they were my own."

"I know Kelly and I love you so much for that." She hugged him.

"I thought I was the one you loved?" Matt faked being hurt, a hand on his heart.

"Awww, don't worry you are." She kissed him as he handed her her beer. The four of them enjoyed some time together, Gabby coming into the mix a bit later when it was slightly less busy. Matt noticed Andrew coming through the door, guiding a beautiful red head girl inside with him.

"Did you know Andrew was dating someone?" He whispered to Abbey's ear, making her and their friends turn in the direction he has just looked.

"No idea. She's pretty." She smiled as she made eye contact with her son who smiled back at her.

"Let's not go over there and embarrass them." She pulled on Kelly's arm as he stood up, a smirk on his face.

"Awww mom, you're no fun." He pouted as everyone else laughed.

They enjoyed their night together at Molly's, 51 being a great big family and Abbey had fun, forgetting her worries for just a little bit as she got to spend some time with her husband and their friends while witnessing a new romance between her oldest son and a new flame.

A/n: Alright so Abbey still has so many worries about her boys joining the CFD, making it a family affair now but with the help of Matt and Kelly, managed to put it in the back of her mind for a little bit, with the both of them promising to do everything in their power for the boys to succeed and stay safe.

Next up, we'll see the twins for their first day at the academy. Will it be a success or will it make Abbey worry even more?
