Stand Down [Kelly Severide]

Stand Down [Kelly Severide] ⚠️

Description: Lieutenant Kelly Severide arrives on scene of a pileup and is asked to stand down by his Chief, only to discover his fiancée is caught up in the middle of it.

Warnings: Mentions of drug and alcohol abuse, multiple vehicle accident, traumatic injuries, cursing.

Winter has made its way to Chicago, and Firehouse Fifty-One has been running since early that morning when more people started getting on the roads.

Squad 3 had just pulled back into the bay when they got toned out for another accident.

This time though it was on I-90 North just before 290 and multiple trucks were toned out.

Once they marked themselves en route, dispatch came over the radio.

"Truck 81, Engine 51, Squad 3, Battalion 25, Ambulance 61, Ambulance 67, Ambulance 56. You're en route to I-90 Northbound just before 290 for a multiple vehicle pileup. Multiple injuries reported. Call placer is advising full lane blockage. Dispatch is trying to connect with Medevac for a possible LZ. Please advise if you need more personnel."

"Dispatch, Squad 3 is clear on your traffic." Kelly puts the radio down and puts on a high visibility vest. "Be careful getting out guys, it's going to be slippery."

"Will do Lieutenant." Cruz responds. "I'm glad Chloe is staying home today. I would be worried sick if I knew she had to go anywhere."

"Yeah, I'm glad Y/N decided to close the shop early last night when she saw the weather because I really do not want her to be on the road right now." Kelly agrees.

Y/N owns her own bakery. She was supposed to be open today but with the weather they got she didn't want any of her staff to make the trek in, so she closed.

"Dispatch, Battalion 25 is on scene. Approximately fifteen vehicle accident involving two semi's. Three vehicles with entrapment. I have multiple injured occupants and some walking wounded. Battalion 25 will have I-90 North command. Go ahead and start Medevac and a few more ambulances." Chief Boden's voice is unreadable, almost like he is trying to show no emotion at all.

"Clear Battalion 25, starting Medevac and three other Ambulances."

Squad 3 is the last to get on the on ramp, having to go onto the emergency lane because of all of the backed up traffic.

"Battalion 25, Squad 3. Where would you like us chief?" Kelly asks, waiting for his truck's assignments.

"When you guys get on scene, go ahead and bring your manpower to help with extrication. Engine 51 has gotten one out already."

"Clear, our ETA is about a minute and a half."

Once on scene Kelly hops out of the truck and starts walking up, but Boden intercepts him.

"I need you to stay back here with me." He says sternly.

Kelly looks at his Chief with a quick questioning glance.

"What, why?" Kelly asks and looks around.

"Lieutenant, I need you to stand down-."

Then his eyes land on it.

On her vehicle, it was compacted and torn to pieces.

"That's her car!" Kelly's voice and eyes are frantic as he tries to make his way to his fiancée.

"Lieutenant Severide! Stand down and let them help her!" Boden exclaims, trying to get Kelly to think clearly.

"T-That's her car Chief! That's my girl's car!" He tries to pull away from Boden again and this time Boden wraps his arms around Kelly.

"Dispatch from Truck 81. Just an update for Medevac. We've got a thirty-five year old female, extended extrication, collapsed lung, open bilateral broken lower extremities, open broken left arm. Possible internal bleeding and suspected brain bleed. Patient is currently not conscious but reactive to painful stimuli." Matt's radio cuts out and Kelly falls to his knees and starts sobbing.

"Kelly, listen to me. You have to believe she is going to be okay. She's a fighter. It's going to be a long road but she is strong, she won't give up until she's damn well ready to and we all know she's not ready to." Boden goes to the ground with the grief stricken Lieutenant and hugs him.

"This shouldn't have happened! She was supposed to be at home!" Kelly exclaims.

"I know." Boden pauses, "They're probably going to load her into the ambulance until the helicopter gets here. I'll let you go see her but you have to promise to let them do their job and not get too upset if she's awake because it can upset her as well."

Severide nods and Boden helps him stand. They walk together to Ambulance 61 and Boden opens the back door. Sylvie, Violet, Casey and Cruz all inside assisting in their colleagues' fiancées care.

"He wants to see her." Boden states.

"Okay. Hop in." Sylvie says with a little smile, hoping to calm Kelly a little bit. Violet hops out of the rig to go see if anybody needs any help for the time being.

Kelly gets in and Boden shuts the door to keep the heat in. Casey scoots over so Kelly can sit closer up to Y/N's head.

He sits down, takes one look at her and chokes on a sob.

"Oh my god."

Matt puts his hand on his friend's shoulder and squeezes, silently letting him know that he's there for him.

"Kelly, she was asking for you before she went unconscious. That's a good thing." Sylvie says as she re-examines Y/N's neurological status.

Kelly nods and lets out a breath he had been holding in.

"She was supposed to be at home. I don't know why she would go out in this weather. She even closed the bakery today because of how bad it is."

"Lieutenant, she said something about her nephew when we were getting her out. Elliott, I believe is what she said." Cruz states.

Kelly's mind instantly goes wild.

He knows exactly why she's in this position now.

"Do you have her phone?" He asks Sylvie.

"Yeah, it fell out of her pocket. Here." Brett fishes it out of her pocket and hands it to Kelly.

He grabs it and then grabs his fiancées hand and leans down to her level.

"I love you baby, but this has got to stop." He presses a kiss to her forehead and rubs his free hand through her hair. "You're going to be okay my love. You're going to get the best treatment and then we will get you home to rest." He presses another kiss to her temple. "Just hang in there for me okay?"

He squeezes her hand one last time and decides to get out of the rig and rush over to Boden.

"I need you to take me somewhere once you are finished up here before I head to the hospital."

§§§

Kelly stomps up the townhouse stairs, right up to the same door he's had to pound on almost a hundred times.

"Elliott! Answer the damn door!" He screams.

Boden steps out of his vehicle and leans against it, watching his Lieutenant to make sure nothing happens.

After no answer, Kelly starts incessantly pounding on the door.

"Elliott James Y/L/N! Open this damn door right now or I'm going to open it myself!"

The door swings open and Kelly's fist almost connects to the teenager's face.  Not that he'd be upset if it did.

"What do you want? I called Y/N, not her boy toy." Elliott grumbles, rubbing the high and hangover out of his eyes.

Kelly doesn't answer. He just grabs him and drags him down the stairs. Then shoves him into the backseat of his Chief's SUV.

Boden glances over to Kelly and he nods.

"Can we go to the hospital now?"

§§§

"Why am I at the hospital?" Elliott asks for the hundredth time since parking.

"You'll see." Kelly sneers as he leads him into the elevator, pressing the floor where the ICU is.

"Kelly, where is Y/N?"

"Elliott, hold on." Chief Boden says sternly.

The elevator opens and Kelly walks over to where Dr. Rhodes is standing, watching her.

"Kelly." Dr. Rhodes nods.

"Connor."

Dr. Rhodes opens the door for Kelly and turns to Chief Boden.

"If you guys need anything let me or the nurse know."

"Thank you, Rhodes." Boden replies.

Kelly stops for a second, looking into the room at her.

Y/N's in a medically induced coma, due to the brain bleed raising her intracranial pressure. Also, so she can recover from her broken bones that have been fixed during surgery and the internal bleeding from a spleen laceration.

It takes everything in him not to break down right then and there. He's trying to think positive but he knows how bad things can get, and he just can't get over the thought of losing the love of his life.

After a few seconds he motions for Elliott to come in.

Elliott takes a few hesitant steps towards Kelly, and then turns to look into the room.

Elliott's jaw drops and he takes a step back.

"W-What happened?"

"She is in this position because of you." Kelly starts, "She wasn't supposed to be out today because of the weather. But you texted her to come check you out because you thought you were having an "adverse reaction" to the heroin you had just shot up with." Kelly reads from Y/N's messages with her nephew. "She got caught in the middle of a pileup on I-90 trying to get to you because she knew that if she called 911 you would throw a fit like the child you are Elliott."

Elliott turns and glares at Kelly. "Watch who you're talking to! I can make her leave you in an instant." Elliott lunges toward Kelly and Boden steps in between the two.

"Elliott, calm down. This is not the place."

"No! Who the hell does he think he is telling me I put her in here! She didn't have to come, this is her fault!" Elliott exclaims.

"How dare you blame this on her! She's taken care of you since you were a baby because no one else would! Of course she's going to come to your rescue when you ask her to." Kelly seethes, "She's a good woman, a good person. But you're taking advantage of her and you have been for years. She wants you to get help, she wants you to be happy, healthy and safe. Can't you see what lengths she would go to to make sure you're okay?"

As Kelly continues to rant his voice gets louder.

"I'm done letting you do this to her Elliott! You can either go get help, get clean. Or you can continue to do this shit to yourself and deal with consequences yourself because she is done. She's not doing this shit anymore! No more coming to your rescue, no more supporting you financially, no more doing anything for you. You're nineteen years old man, it's time to start growing up."

"Fuck you, Kelly Severide." Elliott spits.

"Yeah, whatever." Kelly scoffs, expecting nothing less from him. "We will help you, Elliott. You just need to want help and be serious about it. Do you really want to live this way for the rest of your life?" Kelly questions, trying to get him to see his point.

After a long pause, he finally speaks up.

"No, I don't. I just don't know what to do. I've got nothing."

"Elliott, we can get you going in the right direction. The first step is to go to rehab and detox. Then we can get you set up somewhere else, away from those people you were just with." Boden speaks.

Elliott glances between the two men, then locks his eyes on Y/N. A few tears shine in his eyes and his lip trembles.  

"Okay, I'll go."

§§§

Four days after the accident Y/N's intracranial pressure finally came down for Dr. Rhodes to be willing to bring her out of the coma.

Kelly had been at work because he wanted to use his furlough for after she got out of the hospital, knowing she'd need him more then, than when she was getting 24/7 care while at Med.

"Kelly, it's Dr. Rhodes." Connor says as the phone picks up.

"Hey, what's going on? Is she okay?" Kelly rushes as he stands up from the "Squad Table".

"Yeah, she's doing great actually. I just took her off of the sedative so she can wake up. Her ICP is down and her spleen laceration has healed enough that I'm comfortable waking her up. So, she's doing great!" Connor is elated that Y/N is coming out of her coma, because he wasn't sure if she'd make it a few days ago.

"Oh thank god." Kelly releases a deep sigh, feeling weight come off of his shoulders.

Everyone on shift comes out to the apparatus floor, after hearing that Kelly received a phone call. They are all gathered around waiting to hear the news, good or bad.

"I want to be there. Let me see if I can get someone to cover me and I'll be there as soon as I can."

He hangs up the phone and smiles, looking at his Firehouse 51 family.

"Her ICP is down and her spleen laceration is healed enough that Dr. Rhodes is comfortable bringing her out of the coma. He stopped the sedatives about twenty minutes ago, so she should be waking up here soon." Kelly says with a bright smile.

"Well what are you still doing here?" Casey asks.

"Go be with your girl Severide. We've got you covered. All we ask for is an update later." Boden goes up to Kelly and cups his shoulder.

"You've got it. Thank you guys."

§§§

Kelly anxiously waits for the elevator door to open to the ICU. His drive to the hospital was quick but now that he's close to being with her the journey to her floor seems like it's taking a lifetime.

Finally the elevator comes to a stop and the door opens. He steps out and makes his way towards her room.

He passes by some of the nurses and waves at them with a quick smile to say "hello" without actually saying it.

Once he finally makes it into her room he stops at the door, seeing her sitting up and Dr. Rhodes handing her a cup of water.

"You're doing a lot better Y/N. You had us all worried sick for these past few days. Especially Kelly. In all of my years working here and encountering that man, I have not seen him like this before." Connor jokes.

"Y-Yeah. He is pretty protective of me, always has been." Y/N giggles softly.

The sound makes Kelly's heart swoon.

"That is because you think you're six foot five and three hundred something pounds, baby. I've got to make sure you don't get in too far over your head." His voice captures her attention and she instantly perks up.

"You're here?" She asks as Kelly walks in.

"Of course I'm here. There's nowhere else I would rather be." He hugs her as best as he can without hurting her and presses multiple kisses on her face.

"Okay guys, I will be back in a little while. Press your button if you need anything." Dr. Rhodes makes a quick exit, giving the engaged couple their space.

"Thank you." Y/N calls.

Then she turns to Kelly.

"I am so sorry." She starts.

"Baby don't-."

"No, please let me talk." She says, "I know I shouldn't have been out but he called me and then started texting me how he thought something was wrong and he was freaking out. I knew he'd get mad if I called 911 to check him out, so I just went myself." She stops and takes a deep breath, "I don't like those people he lives with. I've tried to get him to go somewhere else but he just won't and he won't get help Kelly. I don't think I can do this anymore! I've tried and tried. I pay for everything the kid wants or needs and I try to give him a better life than my sister ever would have given him. I'm just at the point where I have nothing left to give anymore. I mean, we're supposed to be getting married and I want to settle down and have kids and continue growing my bakery but I can't do any of that with him the way he is and it's not fair!" She cries.

Her monitor starts beeping faster and Kelly sees that her being upset has affected her heart rate.

"I know it's not fair, but listen to me." Kelly sits next to her in the bed and wraps an arm around her shoulders gently. "Boden and I talked some sense into Elliott. He's saying he's serious about getting clean and doing better. He's been in the rehab center since the day this happened."

And her heart rate goes down.

"Really?" She asks hopefully.

"Yes babe, really. I think he finally understood that what he was doing wasn't just affecting him." He pauses, "And I was thinking about something too. We have been talking about getting a house, so we can grow into it. Why don't we start looking while you're healing and when Elliott is able to be on his own he can move into our condo. It's already paid for so I think he can rent it from us at a reasonable price until he gets back on his feet. It's in a good neighborhood, there are pretty much no drugs running through there and it would be a good place for him to start out." Kelly suggests.

Y/N stares at him for a few seconds in disbelief. Kelly and Elliott had always butt heads so this is very surprising to her.

"I-I mean are you sure? I don't want you to regret it when the time comes."

"Y/N, I am sure. Elliott isn't my favorite person but he is important to you so he is important to me too. I just want what is best for the kid, even though he hasn't realized that in all of these years."

"Okay." Y/N nods with a big smile.

"Okay." Kelly presses a kiss to the side of her head and finally relaxes.

He knows it's going to be a long road, but he won't complain because his girl is still here with him, in his arms.

First Glimpse Of You [Jay Halstead]⚠️

Description: Jay and Y/N go through a short rough patch while working a tough case and Y/N gets told life changing news.

Warnings: Maybe cussing? Discussing case details.

Jay and Y/N had been dating for two years. They met through the Intelligence Unit. Y/N was already a detective chosen by Voight to be in his Unit and then he brought Jay in. The two immediately hit it off and their relationship developed easily after that.

Intelligence was working a tough case. For the past two weeks they were trying to solve the murder of a twelve year old girl. She was taken from the school playground while waiting for her father to come pick her up.

The girls father owns a luxury car dealership and he's a known drug user. He admitted he was in debt to a dealer and that he got a letter in the mail stating that if he didn't pay he'd lose something valuable to him. He never thought they'd kill his daughter.

Y/N and Erin took this case hard. They were always trying to identify and track down the dealer, but they weren't having any luck.

Jay was getting tired of his girlfriend not being home and not taking care of herself. His frustrations boiled over the night before the units five day weekend was supposed to start.

"Nice of you to finally come home." Jay says as Y/N shuts the front door behind her and locks it. The smile on her face fades and she slouches.

"What is that supposed to mean?" She asks.

"This is the first time in a couple of weeks you've been home before one in the morning. What'd Voight do, lock you and Lindsay out?" He asks angrily. Y/N scoffs and kicks her shoes off.

"No, actually. I arrested the bastard that murdered that little girl an hour ago." She says as she goes upstairs and slams their bedroom door.

Jay sighs and leans his head back on the couch.

His back is going to hurt tomorrow from sleeping on the couch.

§§§

When Y/N woke up the next morning Jay was gone. He and the guys had decided to go fishing on Lake Michigan, so he would be gone almost all day. Y/N decided to clean the house, get ready and then she and Erin would go shopping.

She picked everything up, started laundry, put stuff away, did the dishes, swept and mopped the floors. The house was a mess. Normally Jay and Y/N split the chores, but they both have neglected their home lately.

After finishing, Y/N sat down for a second. A pain ripped through her left side and it nearly took her breath away. She held her side and took deep breaths until the pain subsided, deciding it was a pulled muscle and that she should just go take a shower and get ready.

While getting ready she had a few more pains, but they were never as bad as the first one.

§§§

Y/N and Erin had decided to get breakfast and coffee and then went to the mall. They went to the stores outside of the mall and they were walking on the sidewalk after leaving a boutique when Y/N stopped and grabbed her side.

"Hey, are you okay?" Erin asks and puts a hand on her shoulder.

"I think so. I’ve been having side pain today." She finishes her sentence and then looks up at Erin before her eyes unfocus.

"Y/N?" Erin waves her hand in front of her eyes and then suddenly they roll and she’s collapsing. "Y/N?!"

§§§

Y/N woke up in the hospital to see Will and Maggie in the room talking with Erin.

"Why am I here?" She asks sitting up.

Will walks over to her and puts his hand on her back. "You passed out while you were out with Erin today. You told her you’d had side pain all day and then you just collapsed." He tells her. "You’re very dehydrated and you’re pregnant. About two months along, and I’m assuming you didn’t know."

Y/N stares at him in disbelief before glancing over at Maggie and Erin for confirmation.

"Oh you’re not kidding are you?"

"No, honey. With what Erin told us you guys have been doing here lately we aren’t surprised you didn’t know, and we’re not surprised you’re having side pain." Maggie says.

"Well." Y/N sighs. "Did anyone call Jay?"

"No, we didn’t. We figured it would be better for you to." Will says.

"Okay." She nods. "Can I have pictures of my baby?"

"Sure thing, sweetheart. I’ll go get the technician." Maggie says with a smile.

Maggie leaves the room and then Erin excuses herself to take a phone call, so Will And Y/N are left.

"Listen, I know Jay has been grouchy about you throwing yourself into that case and I know what happened last night, but don’t freak out. He will be ecstatic. He loves you a lot. I’ve never seen him this way with anyone, and he will love this baby so much." Will says, sensing her nervousness.

"Thank you, Will. I know he loves me and I know I shouldn’t have got so into my head about this case, but this is our job and that little girls mom broke my heart. She never deserved that. Her dad was dumb, and made mistakes, she never should have had to pay for his mistakes and my heart told me I needed to find the bastard that killed her, and guess what? I did."

"I’m proud of you." Will says and gives Y/N a hug. "I’ll be back in a little bit to discharge you."

He leaves the room and Y/N glances at her stomach. She places her hand on it and smiles.

§§§

Jay walked into the house and saw that it was clean and all of the lights were off except the night lights on the stairs, so he took his shoes off and made his way up. It was late, so he expected Y/N to be sleeping already, which she was. He softly closed their bedroom door and smiled at her peaceful form before grabbing a pair of sweatpants and underwear to change into after his shower.

After finishing his shower, Jay walked back into the bedroom and put his phone on the charger and his gun in the nightstand. He pulled back the covers and climbed in behind Y/N and wrapped his arm around her and kissed her cheek.

She stirred awake and smiled. "How was your day?" She asks.

"Good. I caught some trout, salmon and a largemouth bass." He replies. "How was your day?"

"Good. I cleaned, went out with Erin." She says playing with his fingers.

"I’m sorry about last night. I shouldn’t have been upset with you. I know you were just doing your job, but I missed you and you were neglecting your own needs. I was worried."

"It’s okay. I don’t blame you and I know I’m going to have to take care of myself now." She sighs.

"Did something happen when I was gone?" Jay asks.

"I passed out when I was with Erin and she took me to the hospital. I was dehydrated and having pretty bad side pain that I chalked up to be a pulled muscle."

"Babe, why didn’t you call me? You know I would’ve dropped everything if I knew."

"I know, but I’m fine. They just gave me fluids." Jay chuckles and rolls his eyes at her stubbornness.

"So, what was the side pain?"

"Abdominal stretching pain is what your brother said. It’s caused by pregnancy mostly." She says nonchalantly, waiting for him to pick it up on his own.

"Oh, well I’m glad it wasn’t anything serious." He stops for a few seconds before sitting up and pulling her to face him. "Wait, pregnancy? Are you pregnant?!" He exclaims.

"Yes! I’m two months along and the baby is very healthy and big, which is why I have abdominal stretching pain already because of you and your genes that you’ve passed to our child." She smiles.

Jay pulls her into a hug and kisses anywhere her can reach while still holding her against him.

"Oh my god! We’re having a baby." He pulls away and smiles at her before pulling her in for a proper kiss.

Once they pull away Y/N reaches over to her nightstand and pulls a few ultrasound pictures off of it.

"I have pictures and we will be getting more soon."

"Let me see." Jay rushes.

He takes the pictures and looks at the baby. His baby, Y/N's baby, their baby. He notices he can already tell the baby has his nose and tears start streaming down his face.

"Don’t cry. You’re going to make me cry." Y/N whines, wiping under her eyes.

Jay pulls her into him again and kisses her.

Once he pulls away he wipes her tears and kisses her cheek.

"I love you so much. This is all I’ve ever wanted and now I get to experience this with you."

"I love you Jay Halstead."

Hap-Hap-Happiest Christmas [Peter Mills]🎄

Description: Peter and Y/N miss having Christmas like when they were kids.

"Mills! What's for dinner?" Cruz asks.

Peter was standing at the island looking through a cookbook. He was trying to find a new recipe to try.

He looks up at Cruz and shrugs.

"I guess we will have to see."

Cruz sighs and turns to Y/N who is sitting next to him reading her book.

"Y/N, what's for dessert?"

Y/N closes her book and looks at Cruz.

"Joe, you know you will eat whatever I make. What difference does it make?"

"I am curious. And hungry."

Y/N chuckles and gets up from the table. She walks over to their cabinet to look through it.

"Uh guys?" She says.

Everyone perks up and Y/N turns towards them.

"Someone went through our food. There's pretty much nothing left but ingredients that aren't worth anything."

Everyone gathers around her and the cabinet and groans.

"I'm telling you guys. It has got to be first shift." Otis says.

"Our lock is even on the floor!"

Y/N looks over at Peter, who shrugs.

"I guess we will have to take a ride."

Chief Boden and both Lieutenant's walk into the common room to see what's going on.

"What's going on?"

"Chief! Someone went through our food and trashed it all. What are we supposed to do for Christmas dinner now?!" Mouch asks.

Chief Boden glances at Casey and Severide who both nod.

"Mills, Y/L/N. Do you guys mind taking a ride to the store. I'll give you guys money out of the account."

Y/N nods and walks over to grabs her jacket.

"Yes Chief, we will take the Ambulance and keep our radios on in case we catch a call."

"Does anyone have any special requests?" Peter asks, following Y/N.

"I want apple pie!" Otis replies.

"Yeah, can we have a cake roll too?"

"No we should have pumpkin pie!"

"It's Christmas not Thanksgiving!"

Y/N and Peter share a eye roll before heading out to the rig.

§§§

"Okay Pete. I've got my stuff in the oven. Is there anything I can do to help you?" Y/N asks.

Peter was making sweet potato casserole at the moment. Honestly there is nothing Y/N can help do as he's already done a good chunk of it, so he shakes his head.

"You can sit here and hang out with me though." He suggests.

Y/N smiles and jumps up onto the counter.

"So Mills, what do you normally do with your family on Christmas?" Y/N asks.

"Well, we will have breakfast Christmas morning, open gifts, and then finish cooking dishes for Christmas dinner with my moms family. When we were kids, my sister and I would go play outside in the snow. We'd make snowmen, have snowball fights, all of that." He sighs.

"You miss it don't you?" Y/N asks, noticing his change of mood.

"Yeah, I just miss being carefree. Being an adult sucks sometimes."

Y/N nods in agreement, "It does. My mom used to read me Disney Christmas stories each year on Christmas day. Sometimes I can still hear her voice, reading them to me."

Peter notices a tear in Y/N's eye. She wipes it away quickly, but he still saw it.

He places his hand on top of hers and gives it a squeeze.

"You know you can always talk to me about your mom, right?"

"Yeah, I know. It always hits hard around the holidays." She mumbles.

"I understand that. It doesn't really get easier."

"Y/N! Our food sits on that counter, get your butt off of it!" Otis and Cruz walk into the kitchen area going for the cabinet.

"Her butt can stay on the counter! I've seen you eat a meatball sub that had just fallen on the apparatus floor a minute prior." Peter argues.

Y/N looks over at him and mouths, "Thank you."

§§§

The next morning Y/N walked out to the rig to do a supply check, and noticed that there was a fresh sheet of snow covering Chicago.

Immediately a lightbulb went off, so she went back into the bunk room and over to Peter.

"Mills." She whispers, "Wake up."

"Why?"

"It snowed."

Peter looks at Y/N like she's gone crazy.

"Let's go have a snowball fight!"

Her eyes were bright with excitement, there's no way he could say no to her.

"Okay!" He laughs.

He gets his shoes on and follows her out to get his jacket and gloves.

Y/N pushes open the side door and walks into the middle of their yard.

She spins around as the snow falls and Peter can't help but admire her. She's always been beautiful, but seeing her like this is even better.

"Isn't this great?!" She exclaims.

He smiles and looks down at his boots, but as soon as his eyes are at the ground he hears a thump and a string of giggles immediately after.

Peter glances up to find Y/N laying on the ground sprawled out.

"Did you just fall?" He asks as he walks over to her.

"Yeah, but now I can make snow angels!"

"You're going to freeze."

"Oh c'mon Pete. It will be fun. We could be kids for a little bit." She smiles up at him.

Peter thinks about it for a few seconds before getting on the ground next to her, almost immediately regretting it because of how cold it is, but he laid down anyways.

"Shit! This is cold!" He exclaims as he moves his arms and legs to make a snow angel.

Y/N erupts into laughter as she does the same.

Inside the rest of Firehouse Fifty-One is watching their two youngblood Paramedics play in the snow.

"We should go out there with them." Cruz suggests.

Everyone agrees and they grab their own coats before going outside.

"Hey guys! Come make snow angels with us!" Peter yells.

"This is so much fun!"

Y/N rolls her head towards Peter and he's already looking at her.

"This is probably the best Christmas I've had in a while."

"I'd have to agree Peter Mills. I feel like a kid again."

"Merry Christmas Chicago!"

Silent Night [Eddie Diaz] 🎄

Description: Eddie and his family spend Christmas Eve together and no nonsense is welcome.

A/N: This is sort of a additional part to "Prove It To Me"!

"Come on Chris. Let’s go get ready for bed." Eddie says as he notices Chris nodding off on the couch trying to watch National Lampoons Christmas Vacation.

Chris groans and sits up, rubbing his eyes.

"I want to see my baby first." Chris replies and grabs his glasses off of the side table.

Eddie helps his son off the couch and nods, "Momma took Hadley upstairs because she was getting fussy. If she’s awake you can see her, okay?"

Chris nods and Eddie picks him up to go up stairs. They turn into the nursery to see Y/N sitting in the rocking chair reading Hadley, who is smiling and cooing back at her mom, a book.

Eddie knocks on the door and comes in, putting Christopher back on the ground once he was by the chair the girls were in.

"We came to say goodnight." Eddie says, leaning down to kiss Y/N's forehead.

Y/N smiles and shifts the baby so there is room for Chris in her lap.

"Do you want me to read you both a book before bed?"

Christopher nods eagerly and Y/N wraps her arm around him to pull him into her lap.

She turns to the beginning of the book and says the title.

Eddie’s phone rings, causing everyone to turn their attention to it.

There had been a major incident and there was a possibility firefighters would get called in, unfortunately.

Eddie sees that his Mother is the one calling, so he groans.

"Dad, you don’t have to go to work do you?" Christopher asks, disappointed.

"No buddy. It’s your abuela. I’ll be back in a few minutes, okay."

He exits the room and answers his phone.

"Hello."

"Edmundo, it’s your mamá. I was wondering when you were going to bring your family home. The baby has been here for two months and we have yet to meet her."

He knew that this was coming. She’s trying to con him into moving back.

"Mamá, her name is Hadley. Y/N can’t just pack up and travel first of all, she’s a doctor. Second of all we’ve been short staffed at work so there’s a chance that I could get called in at anytime. Third, we are trying to keep Hadley contained to certain places and people. Flu season is running rampant and we aren’t willing to take any chances with flying." He tries to explain.

"Well what are we supposed to do? We can’t see our granddaughter? It’s not fair that you took of with Chris and now we can’t even meet her. Does she not like us or something?!" Eddie sighs and rolls his eyes, trying not to blow a gasket.

"What do you mean?"

"Your babies mother. Does she not like us?"

Eddie’s ears are steaming and he slaps his hand on the railing around the stairs.

"My daughters name is Hadley and my children’s mothers name is Y/N. Why can’t you say their names?!" He exclaims, "Y/N has never met you, why would she have a reason to not like you? Did you do something that makes you not like-able?" He pushes.

Eddie couldn’t figure out why his parents could never say Y/N’s name. It’s almost like they think they are above her and everyone else.

"Edmundo! How dare you speak to me that way!"

"How dare you call me on Christmas Eve, my baby’s first Christmas Eve and try to ruin my time with my family! Call me when you guys can grow up and acknowledge that Christopher isn’t coming back to you and I have moved on and created a life for myself out here." He hangs up his phone and runs his hands over his face.

After a moment Eddie looks at his watch and notices that it’s Christopher’s bedtime, so he makes his way back into Hadley's nursery.

A soft voice comes from the room, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright.

Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child. Holy infant so tender and mild. Sleep in heavenly peace,

Sleep in heavenly peace." Y/N sings, rocking her kids to sleep.

Eddie pokes his head in the room and smiles at the sight.

He knows he did something right now. Y/N is perfect and so are their kids.

"Silent night, holy night. Shepherds quake at the sight. Glories stream from heaven afar. Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia. Christ the Savior is born!

Christ the Savior is born." Y/N continues as she runs her hand through Christopher’s hair and rubs his neck.

Eddie continues to watch, just melting at the sight of the people he loves the most.

"Silent night, holy night. Son of God love's pure light. Radiant beams from Thy holy face. With dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus Lord, at Thy birth

Jesus Lord, at Thy birth." She finishes.

Y/N presses a kiss to both kiss heads and sighs, leaning further back into her chair.

Eddie finally comes into the room and sends her a bright smile.

"You’re amazing." He says.

Y/N giggles softly and shrugs.

"What can I say? I’ve got a natural touch."

"You most certainly do." He walks over and presses a quick, but sweet kiss to her lips.

"Is everything okay with your mom? You sounded pretty upset out there?" She asks quietly.

Eddie nods and lifts Christopher out of her lap.

"Everything’s okay. My mom is just being rude."

Y/N frowns, knowing she is the cause of it.

"I’m sorry that I can’t just go on trips without much notice, but you and Chris could go if you guys want. I don’t want to hold you back from seeing your family." She offers, getting up to put Hadley in her crib and make sure her monitors are hooked up.

Eddie shake his head no. "Absolutely not. This is my family." He circles his finger around the room, "And if my parents can’t accept that and respect our wishes and choices, I guess they’re not my family." Eddie says.

Before Y/N can say anything he walks out of the room and into Christopher’s room to put him to bed.

Y/N sighs, but stays with Hadley a little longer to make sure she’s okay for the night.

Eddie eventually makes his way back in and wraps his arms around Y/N’s waist so she can lean back into him.

"I’m not going to let them walk all over us and disrespect us at all. I’m tired of it happening and it won’t happen to you, Hadley, Christopher or myself anymore. I will cut off all contact and ties with them if I have to. I’m finally happy, I’m not willing to risk this."

Y/N turns around in his arms and wraps her arms around his neck.

"I love you, Eddie. Thank you for sticking up for us."

"Always, mi amor."

Last Christmas [Andrei Svechnikov] 🎄

Description: Y/N and Andrei meet again, this Christmas.

Warnings: Probably cursing, I don’t remember. Cheating but not cheating?

"Y/N, we're going out for drinks. It's Christmas on the Rocks at Joe's. Will you go with us?" Y/N's friend, Emily asks as she and her boyfriend finish getting ready.

Y/N looks up from her laptop screen that's filled with notes and narrows her gaze on her friends.

"Who's going to be there?" She asks.

"As far as I know it's just going to be Sebastian and his girlfriend." Nick, Emily's boyfriend replies with his hands held up.

Y/N thinks for a few seconds before nodding.

"Okay. I'll go, just give me a couple of minutes."

"Yay! Okay, we will be out in the living room." Emily exclaims before dragging Nick away with her.

Y/N closes her laptop and sighs. Then she gets up and looks at herself in the mirror.

She's wearing her Duke t-shirt and sweatpants. And her hair is a rats nest from tugging her hands through it while stressing over her study guide.

"Jeans and a hairbrush should do." She mutters, walking over to her closet.

§§§

Emily walks into the bar first, with Y/N and Nick in tow.

The owners decorated the interior and exterior beautifully, and they have Christmas music playing as well. When you walk in, you're immediately in the Christmas spirit.

She looks around and sets her sights on Sebastian  and his girlfriend, Melissa. They are sitting at a high top table across the room, so Emily grabs her friends hand and drags her along.

"Hey guys!" Emily exclaims.

"Look who showed up!" Sebastian exclaims as he notices Y/N.

"Yeah, they dragged me out, Merry Christmas guys." Y/N laughs.

Everyone exchanges a hug before deciding to get drinks.

Y/N volunteers to go get a round and heads to the bar alone.

The bartender is quite busy, so she waits patiently, watching the game between the Flames and Senators.

She was too focused on the game, watching the Tkachuck brothers mess around with each other. She didn't even notice the blonde sit on the stool next to her until he finally spoke.

"Enjoying the game?"

She will never forget his voice, so she didn't even have to look at him to know who it was.

"Yep." She replies.

It's quiet for a few seconds before her stool is turned against her will and his cologne floods her senses.

"Andrei, what the hell?" She squeaks, grabbing the counter.

Andrei let's out a deep chuckle and smiles at the girl in front of him.

"Why won't you talk to me? It's been a year since we've seen each other. I've texted, called and you didn't answer. I even asked Nick and Sebastian, but no one will tell me what's going on." Andrei explains, "What happened? Did I do something? If I did, I want to make it right Y/N. I miss you."

Y/N studies him for a few seconds, trying to see if he is serious or not. And of course like the universe decided to let her know that it hates her, Last Christmas by Wham! came on.

"Are you serious?" Y/N asks, exasperated. She gets off of the stool and stands. "Yeah, Andrei. You did do something."

Y/N walks away from the bar and back over to her friends at the table.

"Y/N, where's the drinks?" Sebastian asks as she grabs her purse.

"Andrei is here. I'm going to go home.I shouldn't have come anyway." She says, ignoring his question. "I'm sorry guys."

Y/N takes her purse and coat and beelines for the door before anyone can say anything to her.

Once outside she takes a deep breath, trying to calm down before she cries.

"Y/N?!"

Of course he came after her.

Y/N starts walking away from the door, trying to order an Uber to get home.

"Y/N, wait! Please?" Andrei begs as he comes up behind her.

"I really need to go home-."

He gently grabs her arm and spins her towards him.

"Can we please talk? I don't know what I did to you, but I am being serious about making it right."

"It's been a year. Why try now?" Y/N pushes.

"Y/N, I thought that you just weren't interested so I wasn't going to force you to talk to me."

Y/N looks at him dumbfounded, "Of course I was interested Andrei!"

"Well then what happened?"

"You slept with that girl on the West Coast trip after that night!" Y/N exclaims.

Andrei looks at her with questioning eyes.

Did he seriously forget he slept with that girl?

"You don't remember, so this must be a common thing?" Y/N seethes, trying to walk away.

"Y/N, I haven't slept with anybody since I met you."

"You're lying."

"No, I am not." Andrei argues.

"Last Christmas you said you wanted to be together and then the very next day I get a message from some girl out in California who had you in her bed! She sent pictures with you and everything." Y/N exclaims.

"Do you have the messages still? I want to see this picture." Andrei asks as he steps closer to Y/N again.

Y/N rolls her eyes and gets her phone out, pulling up the message thread and picture.

Drei said Merry Christmas :)

The pictures still make Y/N want to cry every time she sees them.

One is a selfie of the girl and Andrei, and the other is one of Andrei's back facing the camera in this girls bed.

Andrei studies the pictures and his eyes go wide.

"Y/N who sent these to you?"

"Some girl named Jillian." She puts her phone back in her pocket, "Why does that matter Andrei? That's obviously you in those pictures."

"Jillian and I dated back in my rookie year, when I first moved here. A year or so before I even met you." Andrei explains, scratching the back of his neck. "I haven't seen her since I broke it off. She's messaged me, sure. I swear to you I haven't replied or played into her game. These are old pictures."

Y/N's eyes immediately drop to the ground. Now ashamed of how she has acted.

"I'm sorry, Andrei. I should've talked to you, and not act that way. I'm so sorry." Y/N apologizes, not meeting his eyes.

"Y/N." He says, putting his hand underneath her chin to meet her eyes. "It's okay. Can we please just start over again?"

Y/N nods, "I'd like that."

"С Рождеством" Andrei says before pressing a kiss to her forehead.

"Merry Christmas Andrei."
