New Blood, One Family 3

Chapter 21- Fighting like a married couple...

Casey stands there shocked as Harper walks away. Gabby then walks in and looks at Matt
"You get Kelly? I'll get Harper?" Gabby suggests
"On it!" Casey says taking one last swig of his coffee before dashing out of the room
Gabby walks out to find Harper checking all of the tools on the rig
"Guys! You need to clean this out! It's filthy!" Harper shouts
"Hey Harper!" Gabby says walking over to her
"What?" Harper says clearly annoyed
"Can I have a word?" Gabby asks
"Fine!" Harper says following gabby to the ambo
They sit on the edge of the ambo
"Tell me what's going on" Gabby says calmly
"He called me selfish gabby! And I know that isn't a big deal but he said it in front of people that I work with!" Harper says
"He's obviously not coping well with everything that has happened over the past few months! Give him some space then talk to him" Gabby says smiling
"You really do give the best advice!" Harper says giving gabby a hug
*Meanwhile with Casey and Kelly*
"Hey man!" Casey says sitting down next to Kelly
"I'm guessing you heard all of that?" Kelly says lifting his head from his hands
"Yep! You were way outta line!" Casey says
"I know! I just really don't want her back! What if she gets hurt again?" Kelly says panicked
"Look at how many years she's been on the job! She's only been hurt a couple of times! And this might open her eyes to being more careful!" Casey says smiling
"I guess!" Kelly says letting out a long sigh
It's after shift and Harper is sitting on the couch when Kelly opens the door
"Where's the kids?" Kelly says noticing the kids empty rooms
"Mouch and Trudy took them out for ice cream!" Harper says bluntly
"Look Harper!" Kelly says before Harper buts in
"No kelly! Save it! You embarrassed me in front of the people that I work with!" Harper shouts
"It was only Casey! And Herrmann!" Kelly says
"I don't care! I'm herrmanns boss! And your sat there calling me selfish! We're married Kelly! We're supposed to be a team!" Harper shouts
"I know! I'm sorry! I'm just worried about you!" Kelly says walking closer to Harper
"About what! I'm not gonna get hurt again! Whatever is going on! You need to tell me Kelly! I can't help you if you don't tell me!" Harper shouts with tears forming in her eyes
"I'm scared your not gonna come home one day okay! I can't explain that to the kids! I can't tell them that there mum isn't coming home! What do I do when they are crying for you? Take them to the cemetery!" Kelly shouts
"Oh Kelly! That's not gonna happen! Your at risk as much as me! One day I could be in your position! I find that Hard too! But don't bring all this anger out on me Kelly!" Harper says softly
"I know! I'm sorry Harper!" Kelly says wiping his tears
"There's no need to be sorry!" Harper says giving him a hug
