When friends from 51, Intelligence Unit and Med all got together to go cheer on the Bears. No one could envision what would transpire. Having a man collapse as they were all enjoying tailgating fun. It became harrowing as days went by, many victims were under attack by 'Flesh Eating Virus'. Not only was this incredibly rare but also deadly.
When 51 responded to a call at a research lab. It had become a hazmat situation. The fire was not routine, flames were green in color and that meant a dangerous chemical was most likely involved. 51 was ordered to completely scrub down and wash in a decontamination station after exiting the building. It was chaos.
Stella Kidd was fearless. She rarely felt uneasy on calls. She reacted and acted in any situation but this truly terrified her. After she had gotten through the decontamination station and was standing in front of all their equipment. Stella was approached by squad lieutenant, her boyfriend. He immediately could sense how uneasy she was feeling.
"Hey, I'm not worried"
"Well, I'm glad one of us isn't terrified by this thing"
Stella quickly rebuffed his reassurance.
"That's not how I'm gonna go"
"Alright, How are you gonna go?"
"Old man in bed. With our kids, grandkids and you surrounding me"
Kelly then got called away by Casey to talk to Boden and Voight, trying to get to the bottom of this scary situation.
Meanwhile, Stella was left absolutely shell shocked. Had Kelly just admitted that she was his forever?. Kelly Severide, renowned ladies man. She knew they really loved each other for a long time now. Since they had gotten back together, it had been pure bliss. She just never knew if he saw a long term future with her. She was not only calm now, she also had never felt happier.
Later, at home. Stella couldn't stop thinking of his earlier words. Was it in the heat of the moment? She really needed to know, As they snuggled on the couch, winding down from the day...She nervously began.
"Hey Kelly, Can I ask you something?
"You can ask me anything, my love"
Stella happily sighed, but nervous about how this conversation could go.
"Did you mean what you said to me earlier?"
Stella began rambling, which she only did when she was anxious.
"I mean. I know it was a chaotic situation. I was feeling scared. Maybe, you were wanting to calm me. Which I love you for, maybe because I needed comfort, maybe..."
Kelly smiled and interjected. He knew she was spinning and would keep rambling. "STELLA, Stop. Hey relax. Your spinning"
Stella took a deep breath.
"YES, I meant every word. It was not the heat of the moment. I have loved you for a VERY long time. Even before our breakup, I knew what I wanted our future to be. After we got back together I felt so grateful. I didn't lose you. YOU are the absolute love of my life. I think about our future all the time. I think about mini Stella and Kelly's running around. I want us to get married, have babies and wake up next to you for the rest of my life. So YES, When I'm an old man and it's my time to go. It's GOING to be our kids, grandkids and you surrounding me" Stella now had tears streaming down her face. Thinking of a forever life with this man was all she ever wanted.
"Kelly, I LOVE YOU WITH EVERYTHING I GOT. I can't wait to have everything with you. I too, am grateful for you, my beautiful man.
