Chapter 21 Power Outage

Kelly POV

I watched Tyler squirm in the bed he was kicking his leg and shaking his arms he had to be the cutest baby on the planet and it wasn't just because he was my kid. I looked at his little button nose scrunched up as I started to tickle his feet. Causing him to giggle as he looked up at me his blue eyes filled with joy.I chuckled and turn to see that Shay was still in the bathroom taking a shower. "Hey you know that it is cold right and that you have plenty more maternity leave,you have only been out of work like 2 weeks. You could stay home with Tyler." I heard the water shut off in the bathroom and this door slammed open. When I look down at Ty he started to whimper like he knew that I just pissed his mother off. It force a smile on my face and I tickled his feet again till the room was filled with his laughter.

That was till I lifted him on my arms and he rested his head on my shoulder, as I leaned against the headboard of the bed. I could see Shay walking out of the room she was in nothing but a towel. Her golden hair was dripping down her back as steamed came off of her skin. When I met her gaze there was this angry look in her eyes that terrify me. But she didn't say a word she just walked over to her closet without saying a word.

I watch as the towel dropped to the floor and she slowly started to get dressed and I mean painfully slow. When she turns around she had this devious smirk on her face as she started off roughly shove her clothes into her go bag before. But she wasn't wearing anything but a sweater and that didn't work for me"Babe you better be grabbing a jacket cause that little sweater you got on its blocking out the Chicago cold."

I looked at her and she sighed heavily looking me up and down before walking over to Tyler, kissing his head gently before placing a hand on his back. Rubbing soothing circles in his back till he fell asleep before looking at me. "No between the wedding and then the baby I don't want to be out of work any longer then I have to be. What time is Katie coming to look after Tyler." That was a good question she called me last night and told me that she was coming over but I couldn't remember when. But thankfully just as I was about to answer there was a knock at the door. "Now."

She laughs at me as a sly smile smirked start from on her face. She grabbed both of your bags before starting to walk away. "Saved by the bell you bettering tank Saint Florian for that smoke eater." I couldn't help but smile her laugh was just too amazing to no be in love with. I shook my head sadly before kissing Tyler head gently when he started to stir in his sleep. "Come on buddy." I walked down the stairs one at a time careful not to drop Tyler. These stairs are going to kill me and that was no joke. When I made it to the bottom step I walked into the living room to see a play pin filled with some stuff animals and a small blankets that was cover with red fire trucks.

Katie was sitting there drinking a cup of coffee as she turned to look at me. Her wide blue eyes growing even wider as she saw Tyler. This joyful smiling lighting up her face as she walked over to me grabbing Tyler while talking to him an in a baby voice before kissing me on the check. I smiled at her but there was this look in her eyes as she looked me that told me to be careful and not to worry"It's going to be pretty cold and with this storm picking up it is going to get wild. Just be careful out there." I nodded my head and turned to look at Shay before sharing this look between us. "Thanks for this." She shrugged her shoulder as she walked over to the couch and sat down.

As we were driving to the firehouse a red light went up and I stopped the car just in time. I watch as the gray and white snow dropped from the sky hitting the car as it sizzle away thanks to the heat of the engine. I watched people who were walking on the sidewalk staring up at the snow in basement. They must have been tourist cause it snows all the time here."So for Christmas what do you want to do.I know that we still gotta to go Christmas shopping. But I don't want to be with my family they said that they would come down but I refuse to have to deal with that. It took us forever just to get them leave and this doesn't seem like a good idea. Maybe just the three of us and Katie."

I looked over to see that Shay was staring blankly out of the window but I could tell that she was trying not to meet my gaze. I didn't care much it was usually just the two of us every year anyway. Neither of us were close to our family and that is probably one of the many reason we work so well together. There is no outside family putting pressure on our family so if that's what she wanted then that's what she was going to get. "If that is what you want then that is fine with me." I turned to look at her but she wouldn't tear her gaze away from the window. But when the light turned green I just drove off not saying a word. The snow came down heavier as we had finally made it to the firehouse and there were already a lot of people here.This was going to a long shift.

I was sitting at the squad table when I hear that we were running out of supplies I knew that there were a lot of people coming in here but thanks to the lights going out, more people were flocking here. I was so busy staring off into space as I heard the sound of something vibrating in my pocket. At first, I didn't hear it but when Cap was staring at me like I had done something wrong and that was when I realized that it was my phone. I pulled it out of my pocket and saw that Katie's face was on my screen. At that moment it felt like my heart had just crawled in my chest. Could I have been Tyler or was there nothing to worry about and she was just checking up on me.

I hit the green button and place the phone girl to my ear as I slowly started to stand up. "Hey, Katie what up? Is Tyler okay?" I looked at Cap who and this worried look in his eyes almost like he thought that I would lose it if I didn't get a good answer. I could hear this high pitched crying in the background. "No we are fine the light shut off and Tyler just got scared and its was starting to get pretty cold. So we are heading over to the firehouse, but I'm going to stop by my house and grabbed the extra blankets that I had from when I was a kid and bring them to the house. I'll be there in a like 30 minutes." I nodded my head as I walked into the common room to see that there were plenty of people sitting on the couch or at the table. I could pick out Shays golden hair no problem though.

I watched her gaze meet mine and the small smile that was on her face was slowly slipping away as I pulled the phone from my face and walked slowly over to her. Each step made it seem like she was growing more frantic."What's wrong did something happen to Tyler." I looked at her and shook my head no pulling her into a hug to ease the tensions that were racking her body. I knew that she shouldn't have come back to work so early she wasn't ready to be away from it.

"Tys is fine the power went out and it started to get to cold for Katie and Tyler to stay in the house. So Katie is going to bring him here, she is on her way she will be here in half a hour. So just calm down okay." I murmured it into her ear but I could still feel this worry that was filling her body as she pulled out of the hug. I watched her close her eyes taking in a deep shaky breath before putting on a small smile and looking me in the eyes. "I'm sorry that I freaked out like that." I shrugged my shoulders trying not to make it a big deal but I Was definitely going to be talking to the chief after shift. She needed at least another week with Ty.

30 minutes had passed and I felt a buzzing in my pocket which of course Shay hear and snapped her head up. I tried not to laugh at her as she jumped out of her seat like a kid at Christmas. She pushed through the crowd of people yelling over her shoulder,"I got this." I laughed as Gabby took up Shay's seat while watching her run out of the room. When I turned my head back I met her deep brown gaze that was filled with questions. "What is up with that?" I laughed sadly and look at her "Katie called saying that she was bring Ty here because the loft t was getting to cold and the lights then went out. I'm pretty sure that she is outside with Tyler right now." I turned to look at her and she nodded her head while looking at the entrance to the common room. I could hear this awning coming from the apparatus floor and I knew that it was Shay and Katie walking in with Tyler.

When the doors opened wide Katies walked into the room with the baby bag over her shoulder.She walked over to me this small smile on her face and she hugged me. Her skin was ice cold and when she parted there was this even bigger smile on her face and I know what's coming next. "Where is Brayan." I shrugged my shoulders and took the bag from her and place it in the chair that I was sitting in before she placed the blankets on the counted top in the kitchen. "I don't know what you see in him he is a joke."

I looked at Katie as she whipped her head around her grown curls flying all over her shoulder. She stared at me as her wide eyes began to narrow and this frown appeared on her face. "You told me that you would stop picking on him and let me make this mistake as you like to put it." I sighed heavily and nodded my head as she did her best to make me feel bad for caring about her."Fine and once again I don't know where he is nor does I care."

As I was standing there when I turned to see that Shay was walking in the door. Tyler in her arms he was wearing his little firefighter outfit, his shirt looks like a turnout coat and his paints were the turnout gear that I wear. It forces a smile on my face. Of course, Kate would dress him in that. I smiled wide "There's my boy." I watched as Shay slowly made her way to me, taking each step carefully so that nobody tripped her. When she came it to me, I took Tyler out of her arms cradling him in mine before slowly sitting down and looking at him, this grin starting to form on my face. "He is such a cutie so whos are the god parent. I mean obviously, I would be the godmother."

I snapped my head up to Shay who then looking at Gabby why did she had to say the GP word. "We were trying to not do that whole godparents thing I mean really it is just a big pain in the ass. Obviously we would just right a will on who would take care of him. Which no doubt would be my sister." Shay nodded her head and Gabby gave each of this rugged look that told me she was about to yell. But I was saw by the bells, but of course that also woke Tyler up an she started to wail over the bells. Which I didn't even think was possible. When I stood up Katei was right behind me ready to take Tyler out of my arms. "Alright let's get out there and save some people" I could hear the chief's voice as he yelled over the bells.
