♣️Season 1, Episode 8♣️ 

Nicole can't stop smiling as the paramedic trio check the rig, causing Gabby and Shay to take notice, "Okay, spill it. What's got you so smiley?"

"Matt and I discussed engagement and possibly having kids in the future. I mean, we have before but those conversations were about the distant future but this one, this one was now," Nicole tells her best friends.

"No way. Soon our little Nicole Severide is gonna be a taken woman," Gabby jokes, hitting Nicole's leg with the towel she was using to clean the stretcher.

"Should we be petitioning for godmother now? Because I would be a great godmother," Shay says.

Gabby puts a hand over Shay's mouth, "Hold up, I would also be a great godmother. Just ask my niece and nephew how caring and loving I am."

Shay groans, "I hate how you brought them into this. I can't fight against kids."

Nicole rolls her eyes, "Hold up, we aren't pregnant. Yet. We just plan to in the future. Near future."

"Still, that's so exciting."

She smiles, nodding, "Let's go eat before the boys eat all of it."

Walking into the common room, Nicole smiles when Matt hands her a cup of coffee with a kiss. The girls make kissy faces at her while Nicole sticks her tongue out at them before sitting at the table.

"Why the hell are you studying Japanese?" Matt asks Mouch.

"I read online that once you turn 50, your brain starts to atrophy unless you keep it in shape," Mouch explains, causing Gabby and Nicole to share skeptic looks.

"I think that train's already left the station, Mouch," Shay jokes.

"Say something in Japanese," Cruz challenges.

Mouch stutters, "I-just started."

Otis places a bet, "I got 20 bucks that says in two weeks, you won't be able to string along a sentence."

"Easiest money I've ever made," Mouch accepts.

"Done, what's today?" Otis asks Gabby.

"Um, 29th."

Matt sighs, "Ah, damn it."

Nicole remembers what the date means for the Casey's, "You okay?"

"Yeah, I'll take care of it later," He says, holding her hand as Boden comes in with two men behind him.

"Hey, everybody, we have the pleasure of hosting a couple of visiting firefighters again. This is Gavin and Presley. They will be observing over the next couple of shifts," He points to each person as he speaks about them, "Lieutenant Casey and Lieutenant Severide and...the rest of the knuckleheads."

Gavin starts speaking, "Hey, guys, thanks so much for allowing us to be here. And let us know if there's anything we can do to help out."

Mouch detects an accent, "Whoa, whoa, whoa. Was that a Canadian out, I heard?"

"Yes, sir. Toronto," Gavin nods.

"We both just finished out probationary period," Presley explains.

Setting his book down, Mouch stands and makes his escape from the room, "You know what? Welcome aboard, guys. No offense, but someone else will have to give you the tour cause it ain't gonna be me."

Matt points at where Mouch had just left, "Ignore him."

Nicole snorts, "Word of advice, anything anyone says in here, probably should be ignored as well."
