Chapter 11 – Dr. Casey
Mia walked over and sat at the edge of the bed, playing with the hair sweeping over his forehead. She kissed the top of his head before looking over his wound. It looked better. She smiled when she noticed the cross necklace on his neck. It jingled with his medallion and his wedding ring.
"Thank God you are okay" she kissed his temple.
Everyone sat around the room, waiting and willing him to wake up. "You know you are lucky you are cute and injured because I swear Tommy, I am going to kill you myself. You scared the crap out of me lieutenant. God, now we are even okay. Always make everything a competition, well you are done, you get me. No more scares" she argued with him.
"Yes mam" Tommy croaked.
They all turned to see him starting to wake up. "Hi baby, how are you feeling?" she asked.
Tommy cleared his throat, causing Leah to reach for the ice chips and hand the cup to Mia. She gave him one and let him relieve his dry throat.
"Like I've been skewered" he replied.
Joann smiled and laughed a little, "Well getting shot will do that to you prince charming" she teased. "But, lucky for you, you are going to be just fine" she added.
"When can I go back to work?" he asked a little more awake.
Matt laughed at his son, "you just focus on getting better son" he said.
"If mom and Mia ever let you out of the house again" Johnny teased, causing everyone to laugh.
"1 month at the most" Andy told him.
"And no straining yourself to make it faster…I am going to be running a tight ship" Mia added to her brothers statement. She knew the men in her family. When they were told not to do something, they just worked 10 times harder to do it.
"I love you baby" he said to Mia as he pulled her closer.
She laughed and smiled against his lips, "flattery will get you nowhere lieutenant" she replied.
He smirked against her lips, "I've already been there princess" he teased.
Mia laughed at him before closing the gap between them and meshing their lips. Tommy groaned and moved his free hand to hold her in place for a minute.
He pulled away when he felt her crying. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"I almost lost you" she realized.
He sighed and pulled her close so she was nuzzling his good shoulder, "you are never going to lose me" he promised.
"God that was the worst call I ever had to make. I'm glad you are feeling better Tommy and everything turned out alright" Chief Clarke said.
Tommy smiled from his place wrapping around Mia. "Thanks Chief, but I am the one who should be thanking you. From what I have heard, it's all the guys that saved my life" he replied.
Clarke smiled, "all in a day's work lieutenant"
Tommy had been home from the hospital for a few weeks and everyone had cycled shifts to help Mia with him.
Currently, Johnny was there and the boys were set up on the couch. They had snacks on the table and were watching a game on TV.
Mia was in the kitchen, on the phone, making dinner. She knew everyone would end up at her house for dinner, so she wanted to be ready. She was just making pasta Alfredo with chicken and spinach. She had a salad and appetizers all set, with a couple pies and cakes left over from the night before.
Johnny looked over at his brother and nudged him, "how's she doing with all this?" he asked referring to Mia.
Tommy let out a sigh and shrugged, "I think she's okay. She doesn't really talk about it. She just told me the first night from the hospital that she was scared something was going to happen to me and she would lose me. I tried to tell her everything would be alright, but it really freaked her out, why, what do you know?" he asked.
Johnny sighed, "I don't know anything but what I saw. Joey said that when he told her about you when he went to pick her up, she fell apart, literally. She was beside herself when she got to the hospital. You would have thought you were six feet under or something, she was really freaked" he said.
Tommy nodded in understanding; he felt the same way when she was in the car accident. He felt lost without her. "I get it, she's been getting more emotional with the baby" he stated.
Johnny nodded, "how you feeling about that?" he asked his brother curious.
Tommy smiled over at him and shook his head, "I am really excited for the baby to come, but don't get me wrong, I am also scared shitless. I mean, I am going to be responsible for how another person grows up and lives their life. That's terrifying" he said.
Johnny laughed and squeezed his shoulder in comfort, "You'll be a good dad though and Mia is going to be a great mom" he stated with all honesty.
Tommy nodded in agreement, "I just need to get her to take it easy at work and cut back a little without having her castrate me" he teased.
Johnny let out a big bello laugh, "good luck with that brother. Burning buildings and raging fire got nothing on the women in our life" he joked.
Tommy nodded, laughing in agreement, "amen brother."
Mia was in the middle of making dinner when the phone rang.
"Hello, May I speak to Dr. Severide please?" The person asked.
"This is Dr. Severide, who is speaking?" Mia asked curiously.
"Hello Dr. Severide, my name is Angel Williams. I am the principle at St. Victoria's high-school. We are looking for an anatomy/intro to med teacher and I got your name from Wallace Boden. Do you think you would be interested in something like that?" Ms. Williams asked.
Mia smirked at the thought and shook her head at her dad's antics. She knew her dad must have said something to Boden about her taking it easier at work.
"I am flattered Ms. Williams. Can I think about it and get back to you?" she asked.
Angel smiled excited, "of course. I will need to know by the end of the week" she said.
Mia smiled, "Great, I will get back to you then. Thank for the call and have a good night" she replied before hanging up.
When dinner was finished, she put the pasta on the stove and let it cook before going over to join the boys.
She cuddled into Tommy's good side, his arm automatically going around her waist. "Hey babe, who was on the phone?" he asked.
She smirked, "that was the principle of St. Victoria's high school. They are looking for a new anatomy/intro to med teacher to introduce the topics into the curriculum and Boden suggested me, at my dad's request I am sure" she said watching Tommy's reaction.
She knew he wanted her to cut back her hours at work. He's wanted her to take it easy since she was in the accident a few months ago. He just nodded, "really, that's a surprise. It's kind of out of the blue" he stated trying to keep the emotion out of his voice.
Mia looked at him quizzically. He was very guarded with his answer. She just let it slide, "yeah I know. My dad's been worried about me since the accident and almost losing our little man here. He's been wanting to get me to slow down and take a break from work" she started to explain.
Johnny looked at his brother knowingly. "So what does that mean for your schedule?" he asked.
"Well, I would definitely be taking it easy at the hospital since I would be at the school during the week and probably overlooking my residents and fellows charts in the ER on the weekends" she said.
You could see Tommy visibly relax. He was glad she would be taking it easy and have more opportunity to relax and rest. He wrapped an arm around her waist, so it rested on the underside of her baby bump.
"Are you going to take the job?" Tommy asked.
Mia shrugged, "do you want me to take the job?" she rebutted.
Tommy sighed and tucked her into him. "Would I be happy if you took the job?...yes…would it put my mind at ease? …yes…would I worry about you less? …yes, but I want you to be happy" he said.
She smiled and caressed his cheek, "I am going to take the job. I am only going to be getting more pregnant, meaning more symptoms and more tiredness. It would just be easier for me to take the job" she said observing Tommy's reaction.
He tried to keep his face neutral of emotion but he couldn't help but be relieved. Mia looked over at Johnny, noticing him smirking and shook her head at her husband's antics. She couldn't help but laugh and run her fingers through the hair at the nape of his neck.
"You, husband are sooooo transparent" she laughed.
Johnny laughed and smacked his brother on the shoulder, earning a glare from Tommy. "What! It's not my fault you married a human bullshit detector" he teased his brother.
They were all laughing when there was a knock on the door. "It's open" Johnny called. They knew it was their family.
As if on cue, Joann, Connor, Leah, Joey, Andy, Sofia, Victoria and the rest of their family walked in. The girls dropped off their dishes on the island in the kitchen before coming to greet Tommy and Mia.
"Hey guys, thanks for all the food" Mia said looking at the table full of top-a-ware.
"It's our pleasure honey. How are you feeling? You're not straining yourself looking after my son are you?" Gabby asked Mia.
"She better not be or I'll kick Tommy's ass" Andy said from the kitchen.
Leah was unpacking the food and setting up the dinner and appetizers that Mia made. She smacked her brother across the chest as she made Mia and Tommy a plate before walking over, "Be nice to your brother in law" she teased her brother.
Andy shrugged as he grabbed a coke and plopped on the floor so he could eat on the coffee table, "I will be nice to my brother in law, as long as he treats my sister like she deserves" he replied as he started shoveling food into his mouth.
They all laughed at his over-protectiveness. "Geez Andy, didn't Nicole feed you at the firehouse today?" Mia teased her brother.
"Hell no, we were so busy that we missed lunch yesterday, got called in the beginning of dinner, and a call for breakfast. It was horrible. All I had to eat for the past 24 hours was an apple and that protein bar thing Leah made us all buy" he said, earning a shove from his sister, "they are good for you. Sue me for trying to keep you healthy" she teased.
"I'm just saying they are nasty" he informed.
"Andy, be nice to your sister" Kelly interjected.
"It must be a pattern" Connor said.
"Where you guys busy at work? I thought they were going to have my fellows take over my clinic. Alex, Claudia and Leyla are more than capable of taking over my clinic" Mia asked.
She loved taking care of Tommy and spending time with him, but she missed the action. Since she got out of college, she's been right in the middle of trauma. In Medical School, she never had any trouble picking with picking a specialty or what she was interested in. She loved the action and she loved helping people.
"They are taking over your cases but that's not enough. With the new executive board, they are making all your charts to be signed off on by an attending. Since Leah is your sister, they won't let her do it, so it's either me or Zanetti" Connor explained.
"We all know Zanetti won't sign off on them, she thinks she's the Queen of Trauma Surgery" Leah commented before looking at Connor, "no offense Connor, but your girlfriend is a trauma whore" she added, earning a smack from Mia, "be nice" she reprimanded her sister.
Connor laughed, "That's okay, and I get it. I just hope that things start to slow down a little and she starts to be more social. She just has trouble when it comes to sharing opportunities for trauma" he explained.
"Yeah ya think" Leah teased with an arm on his shoulder. He just laughed at her antics. Mia looked between the two doctors and smiled. She saw how easy it was for them to talk and be around each other. She saw potential for the next super couple here.
"Well, Squad 6 isn't the only squad busy. We've been out of our minds. I swear I was seeing double when I got here this morning" Johnny added.
Tommy laughed, "you totally were. Mia and I came down for breakfast to find this bum draped on the couch. He couldn't even make it up to the guest room" Tommy informed.
"Coming from the family baby, that doesn't hold much weight" Johnny prodded his brother.
Tommy shoved his brother, "when you have a wife as hot as mine willing to play nurse, you would be a baby too" he said pulling Mia tighter into his body.
"See, I told you he was a nympho when it came to Mia" Johnny said causing everyone to burst out laughing and earning himself a shove from Mia.
"Kids, behave yourselves please" Gabby mocked reprimanded.
They all just laughed, it was just a normal get together for them. "Speaking of kids, I got an interesting call today" Mia said.
They all turned to her curious. "What call?" Joey asked his sister.
"You know the school that Donna teaches at, St. Victoria's. Well, their principal called me today offering me a job" she said waiting to see what everyone's reaction would be.
"As a teacher?" Andy asked surprised.
Mia laughed and nodded, "yeah. Their introducing anatomy/intro to med for their seniors. Mrs. Williams said that Chief Boden suggested my name since I was looking to cut down at work since I was pregnant" she said looking straight at her dad with a quirked eyebrow.
He sighed, "okay, I guess my cover is blown. I was talking to Boden and he told me this opportunity opened up at the school and I thought it would be perfect for you. You could influence a group of lost kids and help them have a future" he defended himself.
Mia left Tommy to go and hug her dad. She wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest, "I love you daddy. I know you are worry about all of us, me more now that I am pregnant. As it seems, my husband is in total concurrence" she teased as she looked at her husband.
Tommy put his hands up in surrender, "hey I just want you to be safe, healthy and not stressed out all the time. If this teaching job does that for you, then great, I am all for it" he tried to put it as democratically as possible.
Mia looked at him with a smirk on her face, "you are not even close to being discreet" she reprimanded him.
They all just laughed, "really Tommy, you married the only girl that can read you like a book" Johnny teased his brother.
Tommy reached over and pulled Mia into his lap, wrapping his arms around her, effectively trapping her against him with a smirk, "best decision I made in my life" he kissed her temple.
Mia laughed and shook her head at his antics, "so teacher?" she asked, looking at everyone for their reactions.
They all nodded and put up their drinks as in a cheers, "I propose a toast to my talented, beautiful, sexy wife, who is going to make a hell of a teacher" Tommy put his drink up. They all raised their glasses and cheered to the toast.
A few days later…
It was Monday morning and it was Mia's first day teaching. She was really excited. She spent the entire weekend setting up her lesson plan and dragged her brothers and her husband down to the school to set up her classroom.
She put up a skeleton, set up posters around the room and different medical things that she thought would help her students learn.
She dressed in a maternity black knee length skater dress, blue pumps, her cross, a blue flower layered necklace and some earrings. She left her hair down and wavy. She was really excited.
Downstairs, Tommy was dressed for work, eating breakfast and drinking some coffee. It was his first day of work after the accident, and he was ready. He pulled out Mia's lunch and got her stuff ready for her on the table, shaking his head at the amount of stuff she had with her. He knew she was excited and he was excited for her.
She came down and smiled at him. He had a plate waiting for her and all her stuff already. "Awww, how sweet, you got everything ready for me" she teased, "Thanks babe" she walked up to him and gave him a kiss.
He cradled her against him and smiled down at her, "you are welcome. Are you excited?" he asked.
She smiled and nodded, "yeah, but I am also nervous. I mean I am going to be responsible for shaping the next generation of kids. What if they hate me or if they turn out like juvenile delinquents?" she vented honestly.
"Hey listen to me," he cupped her face so he could meet her gaze, "You are the perfect person to do this. You are strong and smart. You are going to be a great teacher and I am so proud that you are taking this opportunity and trying something different. So don't worry, you are going to be great" he said leaning down to give her a kiss. She smiled against his lips, "thanks babe, I better get going. I want to get everything set up before my students get there" she said.
Tommy helped her load up her car and sent her on the way. The school wasn't that far from her house, so it only took her about 10 minutes to get to work, since the traffic was good.
Donna and Mrs. Angel Williams were waiting for her at the door. Mia walked out and greeted Donna with a hug.
"Hey Donna" she greeted her.
"Hey, are you ready for your first day as a teacher?" Donna asked.
Mia smiled and shook Mrs. Williams's hand, "I am really excited to be here. Thank you for the opportunity" she said to the principal.
Mrs. Williams smiled and nodded at her as they led her to her classroom. "We are happy to have you here. Donna speaks great things about you and we are excited to see what you bring to your school" she said.
"Thanks I hope to bring all I can and really help my students" Mia replied.
7:50 am and Mia opened the door to her classroom, watching as students piled in. The room was small, as she only had 10 students.
She just watched as they filed in and got settled in their desks, some of them sitting with people they knew and reconnecting with their friends.
When it struck 8:00 and it was time to start class, Mia took a breath and got up and walked in the front of her desk.
"Good Morning Everyone, my name is Mia Casey and I am a doctor at Chicago Med. I am going to be your teacher for the rest of this year. Welcome to Intro to Med and Anatomy" she started out the morning.
Mia passed out blank stickers and some sharpies. "I want everyone to write their names down on a sticker and put it on your shirt so I can learn your names" she said as she put her own on.
Once they were all set to go, she took back the extra stickers and sat on her desk, so she was facing her students.
"So I know how high school works and I know that you all have probably heard a lot of things going on about me. My name is Mia Casey, I have been married for 8 months and my husband is a firefighter at Firehouse 51 and I am 4 months pregnant, so you'll have to excuse my moods sometimes. As you probably know, I am not a teacher, I have never taught before but I am really excited to start with this class. I don't know how other teachers do things, but I come from a big family, and all of them are in the public service, whether its firefighting or police, so if you all need anything at all, come talk to me. No questions asked on my end and I promise to do everything in my power to help you" she said.
They all looked at each other a little surprised but nodded. This teacher wasn't so bad.
"Good, now that we have that out of the way, let's each of us go around the room and state your name and something about yourself" she said, sitting back letting them start.
"I'm Adam Coletti and I am on the football team, quarterback" he said.
"I'm Claire Manning and I am a cheerleader" she said.
"I'm Jacob Adair and I am on the chess team" he introduced.
"I'm Cole Banks and I am on the soccer team" he said.
"I'm Jennifer Baker and I am a tutor at school" she said.
"I'm Faith Anderson and I'm a tutor like Jenni" she said pointing to Jennifer.
Mia nodded and looked around the room. All the students had introduced themselves and Mia grabbed the register, "Aren't there supposed to be 10 people in here? Does anyone know what happened to the other four people?" she asked the class.
"Uh, I hate to break this to you doc, but I am pretty sure everyone else dropped the class because they thought that it would be a hard class" Adam said.
Mia nodded in understanding. She was a high school student and she remembered only taking the easy classes.
"Okay, well we don't need them, it's their loss because I plan on making this class the best it can be and more fun than any other class you are taking this semester. Sure it'll get difficult at times but we'll get through it together, but on that topic, let's talk about my expectations for you all this semester" she said as she handed them each a calendar of all their assignments and tests before turning to Adam and Jacob, "Can you two help me please" she waved them over.
The boys got up and helped her put up the chart on the bulletin board. "Thank you boys" she said as they walked back to their seats.
"Okay, so there is going to be no daily homework in this class. I am going to assign journals every week that are basically a way for me to see how you are doing in this class and how you feel about the class. The journals are graded based on completion versus the right answer since they are opinion pieces. That being said, much like medicine, this class is a mystery and you all are going to be detectives. So, each day we have class, so every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I want you all to bring something related to medicine that interest you. It doesn't matter what it is, as long as you find it interesting and are ready to talk about it" she said.
Claire raised her hand for a question, "What are we supposed to call you? I mean I know you aren't like a normal teacher, but we can't exactly call you Mia, that would just be weird" she said.
Mia laughed and nodded, "Okay how about you call me Dr. Casey" she suggested.
"Is it okay if we call you Dr. C?" Adam asked.
Mia smiled and nodded, "does that mean I'm cool? Do I get to be the cool teacher now?" she teased, causing everyone to start laughing.
"Totally" Adam replied.
"Okay then, you can either call me Dr. Casey or Dr. C. So, switching topics a little bit, I have given you all my expectations of you in this class, why don't you all tell me you expect to gain from this course" she said.
And just like that that, as they were getting more comfortable with her, they each took their turn stating their opinion of why they were taking the class and what they were hoping to get out of it. The whole thing was really nice for Mia to see. Even though there were supposed to be 10 people, she was happy with her six.
After about 20 minutes of discussion of an introduction into medicine and showing them all how to access their journals for the week, and the class homepage on the website, the class was over.
Mia stood by the door and watched them all walk out; before Adam turned to Mia on the way out, "Hey Dr. C" he called her.
"Yeah Adam, what's up?" she asked.
"Thanks for saying all that stuff earlier, you know about us talking to you and helping us and stuff. It means a lot" he said.
Mia smiled and nodded, "you are welcome. That's why I said that and I meant it. If you ever need anything, then I promise to help you" she replied.
He nodded, "I got to get to class, but thanks" he said before running down the hallway.
Mia was really happy. Her first class was great and her kids were amazing. They all had their own little cliques, but Mia had a plan to fix that.
She stayed the whole day at school, fixing her classroom, getting her school account situated and getting herself comfortable with the school.
"Hey I think that Dr. C is cool, it was nice of her to say all that stuff about being here for us and stuff" Adam said to Claire.
"Yeah totally. It was really nice of her. She seems like a really cool person. She seems like she would be a good teacher, even if she hasn't done it before" she replied.
On the other side of the school, another group of kids were having a similar conversation. It turns out that Mia really made an impression on her students.
It was the end of the day and Mia packed up all her stuff and made her way out to the car. Adam and Claire saw Dr. Casey walking to her car carrying a couple boxes and some bags and ran over.
"Hey Dr. C, let me help you" Adam said taking the boxes from her.
"Thank you guys, I'm just over here" she said pointing to her car.
The firehouse was really slow, and Tommy was really curious on how Mia's day was. He took a break from the firehouse and made his way to St. Victoria's. He perused through the parking lot until he found Mia's jeep and parked next to her.
As he got out of the car, he saw a parade of students walking out of the school, going in various directions. He stopped a group of kids, "Excuse me, how do I get to the main entrance here?" he asked.
They looked him over and smiled, "Are you by chance looking for Dr. Casey?" one of the boys asked.
Tommy smiled and nodded, "yeah, I'm her husband Tommy" he replied.
"I'm Jacob, this is Jenni and Faith. We are students of Dr. Casey's" he explained.
Tommy nodded in understanding. "Nice to meet you guys, can you lead me to her office?" he asked.
They all turned to head into the building when they saw Dr. C walking towards them with Andy and Claire.
"Hello everyone" she greeted as she saw all her students gathered around her car.
"Hey Dr. C, we saw your husband wandering around the parking lot, looking for you" Jacob said.
Mia nodded in understanding and stepped up to greet Tommy with a kiss, "Hi Honey, what are you doing here?" she asked Tommy.
"I just came to help you carry things out of your classroom" he said indicating to Adam, "but I see that's already taken care of" he added.
"Yes, Adam and Claire saw me walking out and offered to help me carry my things out. I guess they didn't know that my overprotective husband was going to be waiting for me. I wouldn't have made them wait for me" she said.
"That's okay Dr. C; I had to walk Claire out to her car anyway. I'll see ya" Adam called as he and Claire took off towards her car.
"We better get going too. Nice meeting you Lt. Casey, have a goodnight Dr. C" Jacob called as he and Cole escorted the girls off.
"Bye, have a goodnight" Mia called after her students.
Once they left, Mia turned to her husband, "those are my students" she said pointing to the kids behind her.
"They seem like a good group of kids" Tommy replied.
Mia smiled, "they are; now, I know that a fire lieutenant like you has more to do than be the overprotective husband I know and love. Go to work" she instructed.
He smiled and cupped her face to give her a kiss, "yes maam, I'll see you later princess" he said before kneeling down to cup her little bump that was starting to grow, "and you too little man, I'll see you later. Be good for your mom" he kissed it a little before getting up to leave.
When Mia got home, she dropped her stuff down, took off her heels, changed into some leggings and a button down from Tommy's, before starting dinner and cleaning up the house a bit. She knew she was going to be pretty busy, so she wanted to fill up the fridge.
After a few hours, she put the dinner in the oven to keep it warm and stored before grabbed a bag of pretzels and a water bottle before plopping on the couch to catch up on some good old reality TV.
The guys were having lunch when Tommy got home from the school. Everyone knew that he was going to see Mia when he left earlier that day. They knew it was her first day at school teaching and he was worried about how it would go for her.
"Hey, how did Mia do on her first day? Did you see her class or meet her students?" Jo asked.
Tommy smiled, "yeah I saw her, met her in the parking lot actually. I got there towards the end of the day. Some of her students were helping her carry out some boxes and stuff from her classroom. They seem like pretty good kids and she seemed excited" he replied.
Jo smiled, "good, I'm glad everything worked out" she patted him on the back before going on her way.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
After shift and all Tommy wanted to do was get home and see his girl. He knew she had the day off, so the guys were coming over for a barbeque and he wanted to know how her day went at the school the previous day.
When he got home, he dropped his duffle bag by the door and shuffled off his shoes. He smiled at the amount of food and stuff all over the kitchen and he knew she had spent the entire day getting ready for the barbeque. He chugged down a bottle of water and made his way out of the kitchen, upstairs.
He walked into his room and smiled when he saw Mia curled on her side of the bed in an old shirt of his and a pair of boxers, squeezing a pillow to her stomach. She always slept that way when he was on shift. She said that it was her way of having him close, the pillow was a new thing. Said it helped with the pregnancy.
Tommy stripped down to his boxers and got in bed. He leant forward and kissed her temple. He got himself comfortable and wrapped his arms around her waist and caressed her stomach, a bump was beginning to appear, as she was about 5 ½ months. Mia felt the bed shift when Tommy got in and smiled to herself. She turned to face him and smiled, her eyes fluttering open looking at him with tired eyes.
It was only 6 am and she stayed up late hanging with the girls last night, she was still half asleep. "Morning gorgeous" he greeted leaning forward for a kiss. She smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck as he turned her onto her back and leaned his face over hers. She knew he would need a pick me up. He leaned forward and met her lips with a kiss.
He licked her bottom lip asking for permission. She granted it and opened her mouth to let her tongue battle with his. Tommy pulled away after a minute, when oxygen was required and trailed his lips down her neck, nibbling on her pulse point and nuzzling the crook of her neck. She smiled and ran her fingers through his hair. She tugged his hair to pull his head away from her neck.
She smiled at his frown and let out a little laugh, "like a kid not getting your way I swear" she teased. He groaned and nipped her lips a little before pulling away and staring at her, waiting for his lecture.
"Morning lieutenant, did you just get home? How was your shift?" she asked playing with the hairs at the nape of his neck. He groaned and laid back into bed next to her nuzzling her neck, laying butterfly kisses there. Mia smiled and turned to face him, "Tommy" she warned. He was avoiding the subject.
He reluctantly pulled away and wrapped his arm around her waist. She didn't have all the buttons on his shirt buttoned, so he rested his arm around the exposed part of her waist, keeping her close.
"The shift was rough and the candidate messed up again. Me and Jo, we took your advice and we sat her down to give her do's and don'ts on this job. She still messed up last night. It was horrible. I had to pull this woman out of a storm drain. She didn't see it when she was walking and fell right into it. The water was rising so fast, we couldn't get a control on it. She was panicking. I went down first and told her to relax and that I would bring her home," he paused for a minute and tightened his hold on her, "Martinez came in behind me and the candidate was supposed to be helping Jo with the supplies from the truck. I had my arms around her waist to hold her up when she was under by the time Martinez got to me. We were talking about my family before she went down, about you and the baby. The last thing I could think of was to cut the gate that her leg was suck in. The candidate was supposed to grab the saw" he took a second to get his bearings, "she dropped it on the ground and so the squad had to grab ours. It took them a while to get there. By the time they did…" he dragged his voice off.
Mia knew what he was trying to say. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "Oh baby, I'm so sorry" she whispered against his ear.
"Mia, the last thing she told me was to cherish you and the baby" he said as he pulled her closer and caressed her baby bump.
"Tommy, you did your best. You did your job. It was just her time to go. She wouldn't blame you honey. You did the best you could. At least she wasn't alone when she died, she was with you. You were there for her" she caressed his cheek and gave him a little peck on the lips, "please don't beat yourself up over this" she said. He looked at her with a sullen face and kissed her again before holding her.
"What am I supposed to do? I feel like I should honor her in some way" he said.
Mia nodded, "you should and I know the perfect way to do that. Do what she says, cherish your family" she said.
He nodded, "you got it princess" he leaned forward and met her lips with his. Much like earlier, he licked her bottom lip until she opened her mouth and let him in. He slid his hands into her hair and tilted her head back. He tried to hold her head still but she couldn't help it.
He brought his hands up to slide up her abdomen and cupped her breasts, his thumb and forefinger pulling her nipples into hardened points. He tried to get there, to use his teeth to make her nipples even harder, but Mia's hands fisted in his hair keeping his mouth fused to hers.
She was trembling, it's the hormones, she thought to herself. All Tommy knew was that he had to get inside her or he was going to explode. He ran his hand down her back side and lifted her leg around his waist, before moving his fingers to the junction of her thighs. He used his thumb to stoke her clit before slipping two fingers inside her. He wanted to be sure she was ready. He hadn't read the part in his pregnancy book about pregnancy hormones. The fluttering around his fingers began almost immediately, he pushed in deeper and her muscles were clamped around him like a vice. The trembling got worse and Mia came quick and hard in his arms, her back arched so high off the bed, she thought it would break.
Tommy pulled back in shock. Mia had never cum that quick. The fact that she just came so quickly from just his fingers let him know something was up. He pulled away from her and looked at her with raised eyebrows, silently asking for answers.
"Jesus babe, what the hell was that?" he asked.
She slowly opened her eyes and came down from her high. She looked at him confused, "what?" she was still in her bliss. He looked at her pointedly, "I have known you my whole life and know for a fact you have only been with me, you have never come that fast before" he said.
She smiled and rotated her hips against his, "pregnancy hormones" she explained.
He smiled big and leant down to kiss her, "that's hot" he stated, causing her to laugh out loud, nodding, "I'm glad you think so" she teased, pulling him back down to her lips.
He nodded and reached down to pull her shorts off. She wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms deeper around his neck, as he dug into her, causing her to moan and arch into him. "God Tommy" she groaned, "what's your excuse for this feeling doc?" he asked.
She looked at him through her haze and groaned, "Don't be a hard ass" she replied, pulling him deeper into her.
"God she feels so good" he thought to himself. He is going to be like a sixteen year old boy and blow his load on the first thrust. He couldn't take it. She felt so tight, so perfect, her muscles clamping down around him like she's never intended to let go. The need to move was very overwhelming. Tommy pulled out and eased back in slowly, but his hips snapped back of their own accord. Then he felt it again, only this time her muscles were fluttering around him, not his fingers.
"Jesus Christ Mia" he couldn't go slow, his body seemed incapable of it. It was because of Mia's nails digging into his back, egging him on as she was coming like a freight train.
"TOMMY…TOMMY"
All she said was his name, like it was all she formulate. Her body shuddered so violently, she couldn't help it. His name was the only thing she could formulate since the bliss. When she clamped down on him, Tommy came so hard he swore that he saw stars. Tommy pulled out of her after a minute and collapsed on the bed next to her.
"Hey doc, what does it mean if I am seeing stars and I can't feel my legs?" he asked.
Mia smiled and turned to rest on his chest, she laughed and caressed his jaw, "it means I am better than I thought. Besides, the pregnancy hormones just make things ten times better. It's the chemical changes in the body" she explained.
"Mmmhm, well, I don't think that a doctor, former EMT/firefighter, now turned teacher should be this sexy…if I was a cop, you would definitely be arrested for being so danm sexy, Mrs. Casey" he teased against her lips.
She smiled and teased his lips, "its Dr. Casey" she corrected him.
Tommy couldn't help but grin, "damn straight" he flipped them over and proceeded to initiate a third round…
