i kicked scott out of squad and matt isn't here then cruz made squad yay

oh wow

you know you guys should have a reality show or something

nah

i think it'd be boring even if we are one of the houses with most calls

yeah you're probably right

heyyy we're still keeping our agreement?

about not telling anyone that you're six weeks pregnant until the end of the first trimester?

yep!

okay, okay

i hope that's fine with you, my love

i kinda understand why you'd think that was a great idea though

i mean, if we miscarry AND GOD FORBID WE DO──

*viciously kNOCKING ON WOOD*

yes it would suck

i feel like i'm part of a secret mission or something

i'll play the mission impossible theme song the next time we go to the OB

The atmosphere in Molly's was lively and full of chatter as Maddie continued to listen on Sylvie's re-telling of their close call.

Sylvie's eyes were bright and her voice dripped with pride of her CFD family as she spoke. "──so, they're hosing the warehouse down and we think: Gabby, Severide, and the Chief are probably toast by now! But then, Chief comes stumbling out of the flames followed by Gabby and this meathead over here."

She turned to her husband, who was seated beside her, and narrowed her eyes at him. Her fingers pinched his forearm lightly, "We need to have a discussion about whatstaying safe means, meathead."

Kelly could only chuckle as his hand rested on her thigh. "Hey, we do have discussions but then we always end up──"

"Dont!" Cried Sylvie, Otis, and Mouch from across the couple. The trio already knew that it would be something concerning what they did in the bedroom and honestly didn't want to hear it.

"You two are always going at it like rabbits." Otis grumbled.

Maddie quirked an eyebrow and leaned forward, "What? Disappointed you won't be getting your money with the bet on how long we'll last, Otis?"

"That's a bet I did not partake in by the way." Sylvie reminded and flashed a smile.

Otis rolled his eyes. "No──well, yes maybe a little. But, you and Severide are always cuddled up and kissing whenever you come by the firehouse or just here in Molly's. And, when you two are not touching each other, you have these gooey looks in your eyes. It makes me want to barf."

"Otis, you can't hold it against me if I want to kiss my wife all the time."

The table erupted in laughter, heads thrown back and cheeks hurting.

A vibration from her pocket jolted Maddie up from her seat. She saw that it was Brianna calling and excused herself from the table to take the call outside since Molly's was being a bit too loud with Sylvie on her tail. The cold Chicago wind nipped as the two girls stepped out.
