A/N: I called the story Reunion and the only reunion I haven't written about is with Dawson. I decided to change that because she once played a very important role in Casey's life. So here is Casey/Dawson meeting and her chance to show him how great she is, being a firefighter and Molly's owner. Of course, there is also the rest of the gang and Severide (well all of them except for Shay who is with her family in this chapter) or that wouldn't be my story.

Me, I'm glad to be back with you guys, thank you.

"Okay, here's our Molly's" Hermann announced proudly showing Casey around.

"I'm impressed, really." Casey smiled. "You did great job with it."

"Well, it'd be much easier with your help" Otis mumbled gaining glare from Hermann.

"Sorry guys." Casey shrugged. "You know I'd be there for you if I were in town."

"Don't worry. Otis makes it sounds worse than it really had been. After all Dawson knew pretty well what she wanted to do."

"You mean pretty windows and all." Mouch interfered.

"You can ask her yourself about that!" Hermann suggested pointing at the door.

That remark made Mouch back away immediately. He made one weak attempt to change the topic, but all Casey's attention was now on Dawson. He had enough time to think about their relationships and who she was for him now.

"Hello, Matt." She smiled walking toward him. "I've heard that you came back but had no real chance to say hello until now."

"Pretty busy these days." He smiled pointing around. "Hermann told me what a good job you 've done here, should I be worried?"

"I don't think so." She smirked. "If anything I'd prefer to bit you as a firefighter not as a contractor."

"Yeah, Shay told me about that." He paused not knowing what else to say.

"Well, it wasn't easy but right now I'm a candidate and I'm going to do my best to become a firefighter. Women can be more than just paramedics."

"Hold on." Casey stopped her. "You don't have to argue with me. If that's what you want to do then I'm happy for you. Maybe one day we'll work together."

"One day." She smiled and hugged him. "Thank you, Matt. I've heard so much about women not fitting for the job and so on. It's so nice to have someone simply believing in you."

"Come on, I'm sure all guys are there for you." He shrugged but then caught her look at Mills.

"I guess he wasn't all that happy."

"No, he wasn't." She sighed. "I should have known that he would be against the idea. He isn't you after all." Dawson looked at him and stepped closer.

"Maybe he'll change his mind, just give him a chance, who knows how I would react in his place." Casey said stepping aside and looking for Severide, the conversation rapidly became uncomfortable.

"But let's stop talking about me, what about you?!" Dawson took his hand preventing his escape.

"What about me? I needed some time to myself but now I'm back here."

"I knew it, you were going to start talking without us around." Severide said effectively stopping Dawson's attempt to speak. "Guys, who wants to hear about our brave lieutenant adventures?"

"You're welcome" Severide smirked at his friend.

"What?" Casey asked with a shocked expression.

"For saving you from Dawson. Or I misunderstood your haunted look?"

"Well, I wouldn't call it that way."

"But you needed to be rescued." Severide nodded. "What happened brave boy? I thought you wanted to be with her and so on. Because that was you best chance. Hell, the woman practically hung herself on you."

"First of all, it's not your business." Casey said but Severide just ignored it. "And second, I'm not that man anymore. We had our chance but it's in the past now."

"You mean you have someone else on your mind?!" Severide gapped. "You have to tell me everything. Who is she?"

"Is she someone I know? Or you met someone else on that trip of yours?" He kept asking but Casey was silent.

"Okay, you can ignore me, but I'm going find the truth with or without your cooperation."

"You are sounding awfully like Shay right now. Should I start worry about your orientation?"

"Very funny, mister. But I'm not gonna let you so easily. You're telling me about your new girlfriend sooner or later."
