Chapter 15 I'll Be Right There

Kelly POV

I was staring at my desk looking blankly at paperwork as there were yelling and yelping in the background. Shay and Peter were yelling at each other, I'm sure that it had something to do with the dogs.I just wanted one day where I can finish my work and not have an issue with someone that I worked with. I wasn't even sure that I wanted any of them at my wedding all they did was stare and whisper, I am getting tired of it, yes for them this is new but for us it's what we wanted so why can't they just get over the initial shock and just be happy for us, was that too much to ask for. "Severide?' I knew the gruff and slightly agitated voice it was the chief, I turned to look at him and he inhaled as he glares at me like I was the one that did something wrong. His eyebrows were with scrunched up as he bit his lower lip. "What can I do for you chief?" I already knew what he wanted to tell me to get a handle on my dog and Shay. But nonetheless, I pretend to care and sat there waiting for him to respond. "I just wanted to say congrats on the engagement but did you need to bring the puppy." I smiled and nodded his head I didn't think that he would say congrats but, hey maybe he got over the shock. "Thanks, chief and yeah we couldn't leave Ghost at the house by himself you else can I ask you for." He smiles at me and it felt like we were getting back to normal. He pointed to the bed with his index finger and I nodded my head.

As he slowly sat down on the bed he seemed wide as a white puffball on four legs ran over to me. Ghost stumbled on my feet as his nail bit into my skin but I could help but smiled down at him and lifted him in my arms rubbing behind his ear till he tongue lolled out of the side of his mouth. I smiled when I heard the chief chuckle. "I proud and glad for you Kelly, I was worried that you would have that revolving door of women for the rest of your life. I'm glad that you are happy with Shay." I felt the corners of my lips tighten as this huge stupid grin started to form on my face. "Thanks, chief I'm glad to hear that someone in this firehouse other then Herman and Gabby are happy for us." He smiled sadly as he looked at his feet for a moment like he was inspecting his boot. "Yeah they are still in shock but the others will get over it but I have a question for you." I looked up from Ghosts deep red eyes to be met with Bodens questioning brown eyes. "Yeah go ahead, shoot." I looked at him it was nice to go back to our normal conversations. "Whos your best man." I felt this frown on my face and looked him for a moment not thinking too hard about it "I have a friend from high school coming down, I have known him since we were kids he was a childhood friend along with me and Andy. Shay is having Gabby Dawson as her maid of honor and of course, she is planning, the wedding which I have no problem with. The last wedding that I took part in didn't end so well so I'm going to keep my cursed juju away from this one."

Boden laughed heavily and looked at Ghost who was snoring in my lap and the yelling from outside quieted down. "She good for you, she can finally make an honest man out of you, I'm glad. Hopefully, I am invited to the wedding." I chuckle under my breath and stood up placing Ghost on my bed before slapping the chief on the back. "Of course you are, we are friends aren't we." I smile wider as I looked at him he was just about to say something when the bells when off. "MAJOR CAR PILE UP. SQUAD 3,TRUCK 81,AMBO 61." I ran as the siren went off in the background running, I ran as fast as possible before hopping in the front seat. I could hear the guys mumbling in the back as the scene started to come into was smokingly spilling up in the air as two cars were set on fire and smash together it looks like the fire was coming out of the engine front of them was another 6 cars smashed together metal twisted in different shards thick and as long as I am arm were littering both the ground and patients body. Thick cheery red blood covering the ground dying it red. This was going to be one hell of a day. I ran out of the truck when I noticed a family with curly wild hair pulled back with a winter car. That was my sister. I knew the curly brown hair and wide shining blue eyes. I felt my legs moving as the wind whipped past my ears. "Katie" I ran over to her and placed a hand gently on her shoulder, she jumped as she looked at me her eyes wide with fear. "Kelly" She was huffing and puffing she was on the verge of tears and I wrapped my arms around her as she whimpered into the crook of my neck.I lower my head into her neck holding her for a moment before, I pulled out of her neck. "You okay." She nodded her head heavy and stared at me she was about to start hyperventilating and I gently pulled her on the arm. "Come here?" I looked at her as I continued to move and she followed after me, till I reached Shay. She smiled sadly and looked at me "What wrong. " I knew that my eyes had to be wild with fear."This is Katie, please look after her until I'm done here, Katie this was my fiance I was talking about, she going to take care of you got that."

I waited for her to nod her head but she didn't "I have to go and save the others.I have to save them but I will come and be with you the moment that I'm done." I kissed her temple and I walked back to the scene. My veins were filled with adrenaline and my head was pounding as I yanked people out of cars but I couldn't help but think of Katie. I'm sure that she was okay but that didn't stop me from it was all over and down with I ran to the hospital and I saw that there were victims from the crush running around. People were being sent to the trauma center to be treated or crying in the waiting room about aches and pains. "Kelly" I heard someone yelling my name as a pair of warm hands wrapped around my neck and hair tickling my neck as I looked down to see that Katie was snuggling into my neck. She was shaking still, was there something wrong. I kissed her head gently and looked up to see that Shay was leaning against the wall. Her arms folded over her chest and she sighed slightly. "She a little shaken up but she has a slight concussion but nothing to worry about." I smiled and nodded my head giving her a silent thank you before turning to look at Katie. 'Hey, you hungry want to get something to eat." She shook her head no and whimper in my grasp. "I just want to go home and get some rest but can we talk later?" I looked at her and smiled before placing another kiss on her head. "I have to head back to the house but Shay here is going to take you home and when I get off of shift I will call you and then come by." I looked at her and her wide blue eyes started to fill up with tears. "Okay, I'll have Shay give me your number." I nodded my head and pulled out of the hug before walking over to Shay placing a gentle kiss on her lips. "Be safe out there. " Her voice was gentle and soft as she spoke to me. "As long as you take care of my girl here." I waved at Katie before running out of the hospital and back to the rig.

I felt like I was going to crawl out of my skin by the time my shift was over and my phone started to buzz in my pocket. I sighed out in relief as I watched Katie's name popped up on my phone. Under her name popped up a little text bubble that asked if I could come over. I hoped that she had been pay home alone all night by herself. "You heading over there." I looked at Shay was she round the corner this concern look on her face. Her eyebrows turn down as she looks at me. "Yeah, do you want me to drop you off of that house." I heard a yap as Shay handed me a black thick less. "Nah I and Gabby are going to run a few errands and start getting ready for the wedding ready. Take Ghost maybe he can help cheer Katie up." I nodded my head pulled her by the waist so that I was holding her in my arms. Her was sinking deep into my arms as I pulled her into a gentle kiss our lips melting together like we were made for each other and we are. "Get a room" I heard Hadley laugh as I pulled out of the kiss. "Come on Ghost mom's got some shopping to do." He barked and wagged his tail eagerly as I walked out the car with him in toe.

I was staring down the large oak door and I pressed the doorbell, nothing but the sound of the wind whipping around us, Ghost whining and whimpering as he wagged his tail back and forth. While scratching at the door. I heart shifting and the turning of tumblers as the door opened to see Katie wrapped up in a thick sweater and yoga pants that was at least what Shay called them. She smiled lightly and looked at me as Ghost ran into the house before she could even say a word. I heard her laughing loudly as she watched him walk around the house like he owned it. Katie stated yanking on my sleeve tentatively, the whole time like she was a child. I sighed heavily and I as I pulled her into a hug. "You okay?" I murmur it into her hair as I walked into the living room, still holding her as she stood on top of my feet. I placed us both on the couch and grabbed a blanket off the back of her couch. It was this thick knitted blanket like a quilt, and as I looked around it was a pretty large house. It had to be hard for one little girl to pay these bills it also seems very lonely."You lived here alone?" I turn to the tv putting on some old cheesy Christmas movie. "No, I live here with my mom and her husband and there two kids together. But they are away for one of their volleyball games. It's always about the twins and never about me, I told them I got into the accident but they said they couldn't leave now, the girls were just getting warm up."

What the hell was wrong with them they daughter was hurt but because of some stupid sport, they were willing to leave her alone fragile and possibly hurt. "Hey well I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. We are family and Ill looked out for you" Ghost laid underneath Katie his tail wagging as he slowly fell asleep while Katie cuddling him but soon even she fell asleep and I was just left there to watch over her. I have no problem doing it either I missed out on a lot of her life because my father was a lying cheating 's obvious that her family on her mother side doesn't care so I would.
