Chapter 11 The Surgery

Kelly POV

I felt my fingers curl around the brown bottle with the bright miller bottle label staring at me as the tv went off in the background. I could hear the sponsor yelling that my team had scored another point and I smiled as I turn around in one swift motion so that I was facing the junk door. I reached the golden round knob but when I start mowing the hammer and the screw drives around I still haven't found it the bottle opener. I want to move to the silverware drawer when the door slammed open. That had to be Shay. I smiled lightly my EMT to the rescue. "Hey Shay do you know where the bottle open is." I turn around to see a excerpted Shay, her shoulders shaking unevenly as she started to take in large breasts and hiccups. "There...is...something...we...need...to….talk…..about" A looked at her and walked over to her lightly rubbing a hand up and down her back. "Take some steady breaths and try to calm down okay." I looked at her and she shook my hand off and tugged on my arm. "I'll calm down if you get in the car and follow my instructions. Deal?" I sighed heavily and put my beer on the counter and looked at her. There was sweat dripping downing her brow and damping her hair as she looked at me. Her eyes more focus than I seen them before. Ever since I told her about the prognosis on my neck she had been yelling at me every chance that she gets. The make up sex was no doubt worth the arguments but still. "If I go will you calm down and tell me what's going on."

She gulped something down as he stopped shaking and ran over to the fridge gulping down three water bottles before crushing the plastic and throwing them in the trash can. "Yes, it does." I nodded my head and grabbed my keys off the key ring letting the cold metal hit my hand and looked at her as she ran her finger through her tangled hair. "Alright babe lets go I will head out now." I looked at her and she nodded her head running down the hallway forcing me out catch up. By the time that I got into the car she was starting to tap her leg rapidly as I pulled off down the street. "So you going to tell me what this is all about. You were gone all day and then you just show up." I looked at her and she snapped her finger like I was the one that wasn't paying attention. "Turn left then turn right then just go straight." I sighed and did as I was told. By the time that we got to where we were going, she had calmed down a lot and then look at me with wide smile on my face. "Alright come on."

By the time that we got out of the meeting and I couldn't believe Shay. Really I told her that I didn't want to hear anymore about this stupid surgery and yet here she is going against everything I wanted."Kelly would you say something." I looked up from my cheeseburger to see Shay was staring at me as she drank her strawberry shake. "Why it seems that you have figuring everything out and what I have to say and what I want, means nothing to you." I felt my voice rising and getting more horse as I looked at her. Her blue eyes full of worry and anger then she look around and so did I. There were people looking at us but do I give a damn. No I don't I'm pissed and she was the one that said that she wanted to go out to eat. Once again Shay making decision for me. "I told you I told you that I didn't want to talk about surgery anymore, I don't want to lose my job so I'm find it difficult to understand why you thought that it was a good idea to do this. Your hear him, I could become partially paralyze." I looked at her and her eyes were watering as emotion and tears were both pooling into them. "You don't think that I knew that, but you are in pain and I'm not okay with that. You want to be a firefighter but you will die if your shoulder gives out at the wrong time. So I had a friend look into it for me and she did her best. I'll be with you every step of the way baby please it kills me to see you in this much pain."

I don't know why but that pissed me off more at first I could understand but now when she said her friend and he friend happen to be a woman I don't know something in my snapping. "Did you cheat on me and then have the nerve to bring me up in a conversation with your doctor friend. It was that bitch from the hospital the one that did the work up on me right." I looked at her she seems wide eye as I spoke as tears streaming down her face hitting the table. "No why would you even think that." I looked at her shocked for a moment she had the nerve to say why. "Well let's see maybe because you cheated on your last serious girlfriend and I'm not talking about Clarisse." She snarls at me but that didn't stop her shoulders from shaking when she dropped her head in her hands. Rubbing the corner of her us furiously and at that moment I knew that I had made a mistake."Alright I'm sorry I should have bought of Robin but Shay this sees weird you disappeared days at a time and say that you were out with friends and suddenly have this magical way to fix my neck. It just seems off that is what I'm saying no please stop crying." I looked at her as she pulled her head out of her hands and growled at me anger flashing in her eyes for a moment over taking the sadness. "I don't care about my past experience I love you more than you know I would never hurt you like that I know after Reene that you were fucked up afterwards. I dol your trust dear to my heart so don't ever say that I cheat on you again." Her voice was furious as she rubbed her eyes till they were red and sore.

"Stop that please don't cry, Shay you're making me feel bad." I looked at Shay her big wide blue eyes full of worry but there was something else in it. "Les" I placed a hand on her face and rubbed the tears away from her face and sighed heavily before looking at her. "If it means that much to you I will do it. I don't mind biting the pain not matter what I love this job and you and I don't want to lose either of them so I will do the surgery for the both us. So please stop crying, I already look like a tool to the others.I deeply regret what I said about Robin and I won't say it ever again." I looked at her and sighed immediately as she leaned in close to me kissing my lips. I lick her lips and she moaned as I slightly pulled away and started eating my food. "Hurry up the faster that we get out of here the faster that I can make this appointment and then we can have wild make-up sex." She just snorted at me there was no way, but I could tell by the look in her eyes that we were good and that's all I care about it didn't matter if I never returned to the job as long as I had her by my side and not being paralyzed I wouldn't mind that either.

I was sitting on the couch, the game was playing when I pulled my phone out and typed in the number given to me by the doc. I sighed heavily as I heard the phone ringing each ring made my heart beat a little faster. I want to go back to work, full time and being on furlough this whole time would suck. Not doubt it has been great for me and Shay to have our relationship to ourselves without everyone nitpicking at us. But I wanted to be back to work as soon as possible. I sighed out in relief when the doctor finally picked up the phone there was this sound in his voice that told me that he was surprised that I would even call him. Did I really look that uninterested in what he had to say.I know that I was this preoccupied with being pissed at Shay but damn I must have been a real dick. "Hi this is Kelly Severide and I would love to be apart of your study." I hear this hushed whispers and then this excited voice "Alright well then I will email you the information for the surgery and the time and I will see you there." I smiled lightly as Shay walked into the room and handed me a bottle of whiskey. I took it gratefully as I gulped down a couple of ounces before giving the doc all my contact information. "Alright and my emergency contact is my girlfriend Leslie Shay her number is…" I looked up to see that Shay was staring at me shocked, I pulled onto her hand tugging it slightly before pulling her into my lap. Her skin soft as I looked at Shay. She bucked her hips a bit and look at me as I hung up the phone and looked at her. "Alright everything is setup and I just wanted to say that Im am awesome." I chuckled as she looked at me her face frozen in shock as I grinned at her. "You made me your energy contact?" I looked at her confused she heard me say it so what the hell was that so shocked about. I mean I love this girl and she made it seem like I didn't. I looked to see that there were tears pricked her face. "Babe wants wrong you know that I love you and that you are my world and I want to make sure that you have final say no matter what happens during the surgery you got me."

She is smiled wide at me, I could see it as I passed threw the whites double doors I knew that no matter what she would have my back. I just had to hope that I made it through this okay and back to work soon. If I did I swear that I would marry that girl. I grinned slyly as I turned to look at the doctors as they injected me with something that forced me to pass out.
