NBC owns Chicago Fire I just like to play with the characters. I'l treat them well I promise.
It had been a few weeks and Kelly, Leslie and Aidan became fast friends. A flu season hit with a vengeance. It caught Shay. She was pissed because, like all good first responders, she had gotten the shot. Aiden noticed it, and sent a text to Kelly:
I can hear her coughing through the walls. Anything I can do?-Aidan
Time passes:
Okay, I'm just doing. I had a big pot of potato soup going anyway. Any special things she needs or wants? Comfort food?-Aidan
Shay here. I swiped his phone. Mint chocolate chip ice cream. Other than that, SURPRISE ME!- Shay
A half hour later, there was a thud-thud-thud on their door, too low to be a fist.
Kelly opened the door to Aiden, Plastic bags on her arms, and a large container in them.
"I've got enough soup here for the two of you for dinner. Potato ham, with rivels… erm, dumplings, fresh baguette, Cranberry cherry pomegranate juice."
She handed a bag off to Shay.
"Treats for the patient."
Aidan lifted a paper bag out of the other bag she held.
"I would never forget the ice cream."
She walked into the kitchen and put the ice cream into the freezer.
Shay's bag held- Cough drops: The good kinds: Luden's cherry and honey lemon. The latest trashy mags, full of celebrity gossip, fuzzy socks, and a jar of bath salts in aloe/eucalyptus.
"I take a bath using that stuff every time I get flu, I swear it makes me breathe better"
Aidan plopped a CD case into shay's lap.
"I've got several older Simpson's seasons on DVD. Pick a disc, put it in, I'll serve dinner."
She moved about the kitchen like she lived there, but all the apartments were copies of each other, weren't they?
She came back and handed Shay and Severide each a bowl of soup She placed a plate of buttered baguette slices with apple butter onto the table.
There was another bowl for her, beer for Kelly, and glasses of a special drink she'd made for Shay and herself- the juice she' bought mixed with Sierra Mist. They settled into watching several episodes of the Simpsons.
Both Shay and Severide were sleepy from food. Aidan washed dishes, then shook Kelly awake.
"I'm going back home. I'll see you two later. Shay, I know I don't need to tell you how to take care of yourself. Don't let that flu-bug wipe you out"
Sorry it took so long, you get two chapters from me tonight. See you next chapter. ^_^
