Hey everyone, thanks for reading and taking interest in my story. I really appreciate it!
-So Jessica had her birthday and is fully integrated into the family.
This chapter will be more about the relationship with Mia and Tommy. We need to throw them some curve balls and this chapter will have plenty of that.
Thanks for reading…please review!
Previously…
The whole house was packed with people. All of their friends from the firehouse, the CPD and some from Jessica's school. Mike was anxiously waiting in the living room, pacing. He was really nervous of being there.
Maggie walked up to him and patted his shoulder. "You doing okay Mike, you are looking a little pale" she teased.
He smiled at her, "yeah thanks Mrs. Casey, I'm okay. I'm just kind of nervous to be here. I mean I know Lt. Casey is okay with us, but there are a lot of people who hate my brothers' guts here" he replied.
She smiled and let out a little laugh, "oh, don't worry about that honey. Jessica pretty much threatened anyone who is mean to you" she teased.
As if on cue, Jessica came down the stairs and just froze in the middle. She looked around the house and it was packed. There were decorations and everything. Everyone smiled at her and yelled,
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESSICA!"
Jessica just stood there staring at everyone surprised. She just looked at everyone and started crying. Maggie and Tommy made their way to her and Tommy pulled her into a hug.
"Hey, don't cry. I told you that you are part of the family when I met you didn't I? You're a Casey now" he said as he rubbed her back in comfort.
They are all a family…The Casey Family…

Chapter 5 – She's Back
It's been a few months since Jessica's birthday and both Maggie and Tommy were crazy busy. They barely saw each other now a days. Jessica was busy with school and would go to the firehouse or the hospital after school. If not, she wouldn't see Tommy or Jessica.
It's been at least a week since Mia saw Tommy for more than a few seconds leaving or entering the house. She missed her husband.
She packed up her office and made her way to the front desk. She dropped off her charts and signed out. "Are you out of here Mia?" April asked.
Mia smiled and nodded, "yeah if I don't leave now, I will never see my husband. I haven't seen Tommy in a couple weeks and if I leave now, I can catch him leaving the firehouse and we can go home together" she informed.
"Well good luck!" April called after her.
Maggie got in her car and made her way to the firehouse. The firehouse was only 30 minutes from the hospital, so it didn't take her very long to get there. She parked right behind Tommy's jeep and got out.
When she walked into the firehouse, she found Tommy right away. He was standing in the truck bay talking to a women next to Squad 3. She figured the woman was just there for some help, so she waited by the Squad table.
When Tommy saw her he smiled at her. She smiled and waved a little. It was then that she froze. When the woman talking to Tommy turned around, Mia recognized her right away. It was Tommy's ex-fiancé, Chelsea Jacobs. She cheated on Tommy before the wedding and left him, so he called off the wedding and walked away.
Tommy walked over to her and cupped her face to kiss her. "Hi princess" he greeted with another kiss before turning to Chelsea. "You remember Chelsea" he said tensely. It was obvious that he was nervous.
Mia gave him a 'are you serious' look before nodding at Chelsea, she didn't want to be rude. "Chelsea, it's been a long time" she greeted.
"Yeah tell me about it" Chelsea replied.
Mia nodded, "so not to be rude, but what are you doing here?" she asked.
Chelsea had a smug look on her face as she replied, "I need a place to stay for a few days. I am trying to get my life together and I'm not ready to call my brother yet. I remember Tommy said to come to him for help, so here I am" she smirked at the look on Mia's face.
Mia looked at Tommy for confirmation. "Really, well I am glad you are getting the help you need…if you'll excuse me a second" she said before turning to Tommy, "can I talk to you a minute please" she asked.
Everyone was just standing there watching. All the guys in the firehouse knew about Tommy's past relationship with Chelsea. Everyone knew that Mia was going to flip out when she found out that Chelsea came to Tommy for help and she really wanted to get back with him.
Joanne saw through her. As soon as she set foot in the firehouse, she knew that the girl was only up to trouble. She warned Tommy away but does he listen…no…
Mia walked over the kitchenette with her arms crossed against her chest, waiting for Tommy. As he walked over he stopped by Jo. "Do you think she's mad?" he asked.
Jo scoffed and gave him a smirk, "all you have to do is speak the truth and nothing but the truth so help you God and if that doesn't work, beg for forgiveness" she teased.
"Oh I'm so glad you find this funny Jojo. I may be walking into my impending death" he replied. He was really nervous. "I tried to warn you earlier but you didn't listen, so you have this coming. That girl is nothing but trouble…wanting help my ass" she said.
"Thanks Jojo, great pep talk" he replied before walking over to the kitchenette to see Mia. She was really mad and he could tell right away.
He walked over with his hand up in surrender, "don't be mad" he started.
"What the hell is she talking about Tommy? Don't get me wrong, I am glad she wants help and all that, but she better not be talking about what I think" she said.
"Maggie come on, she came in here wearing a hooker outfit begging for help. What was I supposed to do…send her out on her ass?" he asked.
"YES!" she exclaimed. She let out a breath and wiped a hand over her face, "no, I don't want you to throw her on her ass. God, why is this happening to me…Tommy she can't stay with us" she got straight to the point.
She noticed his quiet response and the look on his face when she glared at him, "You didn't?" she said.
Tommy shrugged and shook his head, "I'm sorry okay. I didn't know what to do. I couldn't just kick her out and tell her to stay on the street. What was I supposed to do?" he exasperated.
"You were supposed to call her brother and tell him that his sister has finally come to her senses and wants help. Do you know how happy Steve would be to see his sister after all these years?" she exclaimed.
"I already gave her my word Maggie. It's only for a few days, how bad can it be?" he convinced her to let Chelsea stay.
The couple of days she was staying with them, Maggie tried to be nice. She tried to be the polite hostess, but after watching Chelsea flirt with your husband for three days, she had enough. They were all sitting at breakfast with their siblings and their parents when Maggie finally snapped.
"So Chelsea, when do you think would be a good time to call Steve and let him know you are here and wanting some help?" Maggie asked as she whisked the pancake batter.
Jessica and everyone looked around between Mia, Tommy and Chelsea. She had on a tight tank-top and some short shorts. "I don't know, maybe a few more days. I just need to get my headspace cleared and show him that I changed" she replied.
"I'm sure he'll be really happy to see you" Leah added, trying to help her sister out.
"I know for a fact that Steve would be ecstatic. He's really worried about you though, he doesn't really talk about it though." Andy said. He worked with Steve for a couple shifts.
"I'm sure he would be happy that you are trying to change" Sofia added.
"Here's an idea, maybe you should start with your attire" Mia mumbled under her breath.
"What did you say?" Chelsea raised her voice.
Mia dropped the bowl on the counter and walked around meeting Chelsea half way. She was tired of playing second string.
"I said maybe you should start with your attire. If you want to show Steve you changed, maybe you should stop walking around looking like a hooker on the street…you know that's mean of me…hookers have more clothes on than you do right now…really classy" Mia argued.
Chelsea smirked, "why bother, it's nothing Tommy hasn't seen before" she retorted.
Mia was about to launch at her when Tommy got up and grabbed her waist to hold her back. "I think that's enough of this" he said.
Maggie pulled away from Tommy and sighed, "I'm done with this. You have an hour to get the hell out of my house" she said to Chelsea.
Chelsea glared with her hands on her hips, "you can't kick me out, it's not just your house, and besides, Tommy gave me his word" she argued.
Mia walked right up to her and stuck her finger out for emphasis, "Listen to me closely because I am only going to say this once, I have to get to work today for a double shift. When I get back home, you better be gone" she said before grabbing her bag and walked out.
The entire day Maggie was in bitch mode. All the residents and interns knew to stay away from her. They saw her coming down the hallway and they scattered.
"Maggie are you really okay?" Leah asked her sister.
They were in Maggie's office during their lunch break. They finished their morning rounds and they had some time since the ER was slow. Leah was having some lunch, while Maggie was updating some charts.
"I'm fine Leah, why wouldn't I be fine? My husband's ex-hooker-drug addicted-psycho-fiancé is living in my house, flirting with my husband and getting on my last nerve, why wouldn't I be fine…I'm just dandy" she replied.
Leah smirked and sighed, "Maggie, you have to talk about this. You are a better person than I am because I would have kicked that bitch out sooner than now" she said.
"Trust me, I was tempted, but I gave Tommy my word that I would try to be nice to her until she calls Steve for some help, but I am done being second string. I can't take her anymore" she complained.
"I don't blame you Mags, I wouldn't be able to stand it either" Leah replied.
KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Excuse me ladies, but your husband is here Dr. Severide" Belle said to the doctor.
Maggie looked at Leah, let out a nervous breath before nodding to Belle to let him in.
Tommy walked in and looked between Maggie and Leah nervous. "Hi princess" he greeted.
Leah grabbed her lunch and got up to leave, "I'm going to have lunch with Aaron. You page me if you need me" she gave Maggie a cheek kiss before leaving, shutting the door behind her.
Tommy felt so guilty when Mia walked out the door in the morning. He felt so bad about her storming off and Chelsea being so smug. It just made his heart twist.
He didn't have time to go and make things right with Maggie since he had to go to work, so he had to shut the emotions down and focus on being a fire lieutenant. It wasn't until his lunch that Jo and Johnny talked to him.
Johnny had heard about the drama in the morning from Leah and Sofia. They had called him right away and told him about it. In fact, Sofia's exact words were, 'Johnny, your brother is killing his marriage. That skank Chelsea is back and Tommy thought it was a great idea to invite her to stay with him while she fixes her life. He won't listen to me so you need to fix this….I have to get changed for shift, but you need to fix this and call me with details.' She left on his voicemail.
Johnny made his way into the firehouse and straight to his brother's office. Jo was already there yelling at Tommy when he walked in. "I see the lecture has already begun" Johnny teased as he sat on the corner of Tommy's desk.
"What are you doing here?" Tommy asked his older brother.
Johnny laughed, "My voicemail was blown up this morning after your breakfast fiasco. What the hell were you thinking letting Chelsea back into your life…into your marriage?" Johnny yelled at his brother.
"Alright I get it…I messed up…how do I fix this?" he asked.
"You get on your knees and grovel" Jo said.
"You beg and hope to God that Maggie is in a good mood and has the heart to forgive you….otherwise you are going to be bunking on my couch considering I'm the only person in this family willing to take you in and I don't want you on my couch….so go fix your marriage" Johnny instructed before walking out.
Tommy stood in the office staring at Maggie, not really sure what to say or do. He held up a paper bag and pulled out a bouquet of multi-colored roses and handed them to Maggie.
"This are for you…I'm really, really sorry for letting Chelsea back into our lives and into our marriage" he said.
Maggie took the flowers and smelled them, "thank you…they are beautiful…and thank you for the apology" she said putting the flowers in a vase on one of her shelves.
"I really am sorry Maggie. I already called Steve and told him about Chelsea. He picked her up this afternoon and it's all up to them now. I am really sorry for bringing her into your life" he said as he walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind.
He nuzzled her neck and dropped a few kisses there, "You are it for me. You are my girl…you are my number one priority and I'm sorry that I changed that for you…I promise that it will never happen again" he laid kisses on her neck.
Mia smiled and tilted her head on this shoulder so he had better access, "I'm sorry for overreacting this morning. I just couldn't take it anymore Tommy…she was getting on my last nerve" she explained.
"I know babe. She just made me feel so guilty. I mean I saw her and all the guilt just washed over me, but that all changed this morning" he said.
She turned and wrapped her arms around his neck, "why?" she was naturally curious.
"Because I took one look in your eyes, saw the hurt and betrayal in your eyes and my heart broke" he said tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear.
She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair at the nape of his neck. "Why did you come here today?" she asked.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, "I wanted to apologize and I also wanted to see you" he pulled her against him. She smiled and felt right pressed against him.
Tommy took his chance and leaned down to press a kiss against her lips. He started the kiss out slow and sensual, Tommy missed it the last week or so. He missed her. Mia couldn't help but sigh into the kiss, she loved the feel of his lips on hers, and she knew right away what he wanted.
Tommy pulled her tighter against him. She laughed as he kissed her but stopped when he deepened the kiss. She wrapped her arms tighter around his neck and pulled her body into his. His hands ran down her back and he lifted her up into his arms. Mia wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed her hips into his groin.
He pulled away and trailed his lips down her neck. He hit the sweet spot right below her ear, smirking as Mia bit her lip to keep from moaning out loud. Mia let go of Tommy and slid down his body before taking a breath and moving to lock her office door. She took off her white coat and tossed it to the side.
She walked over, cleared a space on her desk and sat across it. "Now?" he asked with a smirk.
"Right now" she said as she took off her scrubs top and let down her hair. She laid back on her hands on the desk and smiled at him.
"You're move Casey" she said leaning back on her hands. She wasn't embarrassed, he's her husband and they haven't been together in weeks.
Tommy smiled and grabbed his shirt and pulled it over his head, his pants following quickly after. "You just have to keep quiet princess" he teased.
He gave her a devilish smirk and came towards her. His hand sunk behind her head, going to the small of her back as he pulled her up and kissed her again. His head dropped won and he captured one of her nipples, taking it into his mouth and swirling it quickly. Mia tossed her head back and ground her teeth, trying to keep the moans down as she bucked into Tommy's mouth.
Her heart was pounding as he showed her breast the most attention they'd ever shown, one hand gently tugging and massaging, while his mouth sucked and licked. Her nails scored his back as his free hand dropped to her pants, taking her panties with him as he tugged them down and off her hips quickly.
His fingers where there next, rubbing small circles, tantalizing, trying to pull moans from her lips. She kept them sealed and only made small grunting noises as her whole body ached to cry out. Tommy's boxers were gone, she could tell, because the only thing she felt against her hips. She leaned back and slid her hip up towards his. He gently took her thighs and pushed them further apart as he stepped in between them.
He slowly pushed into her and Mia arched upward, grabbing onto him as she forced herself not to moan. He moved his hips slowly at first, allowing her to get used to his size, but a few moments later the pace quickened and Mia threw her head back further, tossing her hair over his shoulder.
She felt that tingle build in her belly and she clenched down on him, he shuddered and dropped his head to her shoulder as he picked up the pace. Mia grabbed his shoulders and lifted her hips up to meet his, the tingle in her stomach intensified and she knew she was close.
"TOMMY!" she whispered in a moan.
"Mmmhm" he groaned against her shoulder.
"Kiss me" she mumbled.
He lifted his head quickly and pressed his mouth over hers as her orgasm ripped through her. She moaned into his mouth and squeezed her eyes shut as her thighs tingled and her body shook, his pace never slowed as he rung every last shudder from her body before finally reaching his release and he slammed into her, grunting in her mouth and clenching his hands on the side of her desk.
They stood, body to body, for no telling how long. Both breathing heavily, both sweating in the heat of her office, the air smelling of sex, fire, and vanilla spice.
"WOW!" she sighed against him as they curled on her desk chair.
"You think…want to go for round two?" he teased.
She laughed and turned to straddle him, about to implant herself onto him when they were so rudely interrupted.
"Dr. Casey to the ER…Dr. Casey to the ER" the intercom called.
"Damn" Mia scrambled around the room, putting her scrubs back on as fast as possible. Tommy smiled and laughed as he pulled up his pants, turning to her.
"I have to go lieutenant, I'll see you tonight" she said leaning over to give him a quick kiss, "thanks for the afternoon delight, it was delicious" she said before rushing out the door.
Tommy took his time getting dressed. He left her office in one piece, radioing for the guys to come get him from the ER. He walked past the trauma bay and saw Mia and Leah working on a patient. He couldn't help but stare. His girl was beyond hot when she was giving orders. They caught eyes and smiled as he waved before walking out. That was the best lunch of his life.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
A couple weeks later, and Chelsea was finally gone. Steve and her family were glad to have her back and into a real treatment program to help her get her life back.
Tommy was officially out of the dog house, and everyone was coming over to the Casey house for a barbeque and watch the football game.
Mia was in the kitchen cooking and getting everything ready for the party. They set up the patio, got the chips/dip out and set up on the table and little football decorations everywhere. When Mia Severide Casey threw a party she went all out.
Leah walked down to see her sister in the kitchen. She ended up staying there last night after her shift at the hospital. She was going on a date and she needed her sister's help. She knew since everyone would be over, it would be the perfect place to get ready.
"Hey sis" she greeted grabbing a cup of coffee.
"Hey, how was your night? Did you sleep good?" Mia asked.
Leah took a sip of coffee and smiled, "like a baby. What kind of mattress is that? Serta?" she replied.
Mia smiled, drinking a cup of tea, "magic foam. Tommy picked it out" she answered.
"Well Tommy did good" she teased.
Mia laughed as Tommy walked in after a run and stood by Leah, putting his arm around her shoulder. "What did I do?" he asked.
"Leah was just saying you did good picking out the mattress in the guestroom" Mia explained.
Tommy took a piece of Leah's muffin and smiled, "well I do have good taste" he winked at Mia.
She couldn't help but laugh as Leah cleared her throat, a disgusted look on her face. "You guys are so cute it's nauseating" she teased.
Tommy smirked and squeezed her closer to him, reaching over to kiss her cheek, "Awww, don't feel left out Leah, you know I love you too" he joked.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Mia loved it. She loved looking around her house and saw everyone she loved hanging out and around her family. She felt at home surrounded by all these people.
The guys from the firehouse were sitting around the couch and in the living room watching the game on the TV. The girls were in the kitchen cleaning and setting up the deserts.
Mia walked over to the kitchen and wrapped her arm around her sister's shoulder. "You ready to get dressed for your big date?" she asked her sister.
"Yeah, is it weird that I'm kind of nervous for this date?" she asked letting out a nervous sigh.
Mia smiled and squeezed her sister in a hug. "No, it's not weird. You haven't been on a date in a long time. You deserve the best and if this guy makes you happy, then go with it" she said dragging her sister along.
Sofia and Nina followed along. Andy, Joey and the guys took the tray of cheese and crackers from Mia and stopped her on the way to the stairs. "Who is this guy you're going out with anyway Leah?" Tommy asked.
"Yeah do we know him?"
"What does he do?"
"Is he from here?"
The guys all asked at the same time. Mia, Sofia and Leah laughed and shook their heads at their antics.
"He's a narcotics detective in the district" she replied very vaguely.
Sofia and Joey looked up surprised. With them being the only people working with the district, they knew pretty much everyone. Joey is a detective and Sofia is a cop. They worked with these people all the time.
"Who is it?" Joey asked his sister.
Leah scoffed, "there is a better chance of Matt being friends with Voight than there is of me telling you or Andy who I'm going out with" she teased before running upstairs with the girls.
Leah really didn't know what to wear, so she borrowed a sexy little black dress from her sister. Mia did her make-up and Sofia did her hair. Leah is already beautiful, but the girls made her look spectacular.
Sofia curled up her hair and Mia kept the make-up light but elegant. She went with a midnight look with all dark colors.
They finished off the look with black pumps, a necklace, earrings and a bracelet with a watch. Leah prepped herself in the mirror. "God, this is horrible. I feel like a teenage girl" she said taking some deep breaths in the mirror.
Mia and Sofia wrapped their arms around Leah's shoulders, "you my darling little sister are going to be just fine" Mia said as they led her downstairs.
Leah stood at the bottom of the stairs looking at the guys for their reaction. She trusted her sister and Sofia, but she needed a guy's opinion.
"Okay guys what do you think?" she asked twirling around for them to see the whole outfit.
"Damn Leah, you look hot. This guy, whoever he may be, is going to be very lucky to be accompanying you tonight" Tommy said as he wrapped his arm around Mia's waist as she sat on his lap.
"Thanks Tommy, but you don't count. You are all my family and you are supposed to say nice things. You are biased. I need an unbiased opinion" she said looking at Michael.
Everyone looked at him waiting for his reaction. "Mike you are the only one here who has no advantage in lying to me so please tell me, how do I look?" she asked.
He looked at everyone, especially the guys worried. Leah followed his gaze and laughed, "no one is going to hurt you for telling me the truth" she reassured glaring at all the guys in the living room to get her point across.
"I think you look hot Dr. Severide…no offense or anything" he said really cautious.
She smiled and plopped down next to her brother and watched TV as she waited for her date. It didn't take too long for him to get there.
When a knock on the door sounded in the apartment, Leah snapped her gaze to the door. She got up excited and smoothed out her dress. Mia got up and walked to the door. She looked back to her sister and waited a second.
"Are you ready?" she asked.
Leah took a deep breath and nodded, "yeah, let's do this" she replied.
Mia smiled and opened the door, the smile falling from her face when she saw Chelsea standing there with Leah's date.
He smiled and put his hand out. "Hi I'm Billy" he greeted.
Mia didn't want to be rude, so she shook his hand, "Hi, I'm Leah's sister Mia. Come on in" she opened the door and moved out of the way.
Leah smiled at Billy but looked between her sister and Chelsea confused. The girl has balls…she would give her that.
"Hi Leah, wow you look beautiful" he commented.
She smiled, "Thanks, you don't look so bad yourself" she replied. It would have been really cute had people not been focusing on Chelsea.
"Are you ready to go?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded. She couldn't wait to get out of there. She grabbed her coat and her purse. She walked over and gave Kelly a kiss on the cheek, "Bye daddy. See you at the barbeque tomorrow" she said.
Kelly smiled, "bye baby. Have fun" he called after her.
When she was gone, Mia turned to the thorn in her side, Chelsea. "You have three seconds to explain what the hell you are doing here before I throw you out on your ass" Mia said.
Chelsea put her hands up in surrender before smiling at Tommy. "Nice to know things haven't changed around here" she teased.
Mia glared and put her hands across her chest. "You better start talking right now" Mia said.
"She's back" Johnny mumbled to Andy and Joey, earning him a nudge in the ribs.
"Look, I'm sorry for all the crap I've caused okay. I was messed up when I came back looking for Tommy. I used what happened all those years ago and made him feel guilty into helping me. I wanted to cause problems for you. I wanted Tommy back. I wanted to make you feel what he made me feel all those years ago" she started.
Tommy looked at her in disbelief. Everyone knew what happened all those years ago. She cheated on Tommy with his ex-best friend the day before the wedding. Tommy found out about the affair and called the wedding off.
"We both know that didn't happen Chelsea" he said.
She looked down ashamed and nodded, "I know. After getting clean and working with my therapist, I understand what happened. I wasn't in the right place mentally to get married. I couldn't deal with it at the time, I didn't really know what to do, and so I just acted out" she said.
"You mean you thought it was a good idea to break up our 4 year relationship by sleeping with my best friend the night before our wedding in our bed?" Tommy argued.
"Yes I did okay. What aren't you understanding about this? I was screwed up in the head Tommy. I didn't have the ability to make the right decision and tell you I didn't want to get married. I acted out because it was the only thing that I knew how to do. I am sorry for everything. I'm glad you found Mia, you guys seem happy and I don't want to mess that up. I just wanted to come and apologize for everything that I have done and hope that we can be friends moving forward" she said.
Tommy looked at her doubtful. She really had the gall to ask him that after everything they went through. "Keep dreaming" he replied.
Mia caught something that everyone else didn't. "What are you talking about being friends? I thought you were moving back to California?" Mia asked.
Chelsea shook her head, "no, uh, I am staying in Chicago with Steve and his family. I actually got a job as and EMT first response caller" she replied.
"That's why you want to be friends with Tommy. You are going to be working with him every day. That's why you want to make nice. You don't want things to be awkward with Tommy at your new job…am I right?" Mia figured her out.
She saw right through Chelsea and her antics. It was obvious. She wanted to get back on Tommy's good graces so she wouldn't be the gossip of her new job. The Severide's and the Casey's are well known within the firefighting community.
It was a small, inner circle of people that knew everything about each other. Pretty much everyone knew what happened with Chelsea and Tommy. It was no surprise. What was shocking to everyone, including the CFD brass was that Chelsea was working so close Tommy.
"My new job has nothing to do with my relationship to Tommy. I got this job based on my skills and abilities to fulfill the job. Not all of us can be doctors, firefighters or paramedics. I have to do what I have to do to support myself. I am trying to make amends and start new with my life. If you can't accept that, then that's your problem…not mine. I said my peace" she said before walking out.
Mia and Tommy just looked at her shocked. "How the hell did I get so lucky?" Mia scoffed.
Tommy let out a deep breath and ran a hand over his face. How the hell did this happen to him? Why the hell did this happen to him?
"Mia, I'm sorry okay. I really don't know what I am supposed to do or say about this. It's not like I sought her out and begged her to come back into our lives okay. I don't know what to do here" he sounded desperate.
"Well she obviously doesn't know how to take a hint and just leave and stay gone" Andy added.
"Maybe we can talk to Chief McGregor and get her moved to another district" Johnny suggested.
They all just wanted to ease the situation. They knew that it was hard for Mia and Tommy. Mia was not shy, but she also wasn't the most outgoing person. She didn't like to be the center of attention. She already had insecurities going into her marriage with Tommy, and all these girls from his past are not making them any better.
How could she not have insecurities? Tommy was the definition of a playboy when they were growing up. He had more girlfriends in high school than she did in her whole life. She was strong. She worked through her insecurities in high school and she would work through them now, she just needed some time.
"Tommy, this is the second skeleton that came out of your closet within 6 months of us being married. The first one was just a brief encounter on our honeymoon of all places. The second one is like a freaking thorn in my side for weeks. She won't take the hint and leave us alone" she vented.
No one said anything. Kelly had seen his daughter like this before. She is a very rational person. She needed to rationalize everything in her head for this situation to make sense to her.
"You know I know this isn't your fault. You were just trying to be nice and caring and that's what I love about you. That's why I married you. I admit, I have insecurities…I mean who doesn't right. Your past sex escapades showing up at our house are not exactly helping me feel like I'm enough for you right now but I am a rational, strong willed, confident woman and I can get over that…I just need to know that I am enough for you" she cried.
She maybe overreacting but there isn't exactly a handbook with rules on how to act when your husband's ex-girlfriend shows up to your honeymoon and then his ex-fiancé tries to sink her teeth into him. She was trying to be reasonable and deal with this the best way she knew how.
Tommy looked at her with a smile on his face and walked over to her. He cupped her face and tipped her chin up to look in her eyes. He wiped her tears and kissed the top of her forehead. He leaned his forehead to rest against hers, to look in her eyes.
"I love you princess. You are always going to be enough for me. You are the love of my life" he pressed his lips to feather hers.
"You're beautiful" he kissed her.
"You're smart" he kissed her.
"You're my angel…my princess" he kissed her grinning lips.
Tommy held her closer to him, "and you're sexy as hell" he bit at her ear lobe, grinning when he felt her flush and hide with embarrassment.
"Tommy" she reprimanded.
He chuckled and pulled away, cupping her face, caressing her cheeks, "princess you are always going to be enough for me" he said giving her one more quick kiss.
She smiled and wrapped her arms around his waist, resting her head against his chest. "Well then, I guess we better give Chelsea a run for her money" she teased.
That got everyone laughing. Kelly knew what that meant. His girl was back…his strong, independent, confident girl was back.
Tommy looked down at his girl, "That's my girl" he kissed her.
"Sorry I spaced out for a while. It's just you're not exactly making our fairytale life easy. I swear, if one of your other girlfriend's shows up in our life I am going to kick your ass" she said.
He laughed, "you're the only one for me baby girl" he grabbed her cheeks to hold her close and give her a kiss.
"You're a sweet talker Thomas Casey" she smiled up at him.
He laughed, "Only for you baby" he joked.
Mia smiled and playfully shoved him away. "Don't be a jerk" she teased.
"She's back" Johnny repeated with a smirk as Joey and Andy looked on proudly. They were proud of their sister.
They knew she was backed against the wall and was dealing with a lot because of Tommy. Honestly when Leah first told them what was going on with Tommy, Mia and Chelsea, they wanted to pummel him into the ground. It was an honest reaction from big brother to little sister.
They just wanted to protect her and make sure that she was okay. Both Andy and Joey practically threatened Tommy when he told them that he was planning to propose to their sister. They didn't want her to get hurt. Leah convinced them to back off. She knew her sister would be okay.
Maggie was tough and Leah knew that she could deal with this on her own. She just needed time and space and more importantly…an explanation. Once Tommy explained what was going on, Maggie processed everything and reasoned everything out in her head, she knew what she had to do.
Andy smirked and nodded his head in agreement, "Damn right she's back. She's a Severide, what did you expect?" he said totally serious.
