Things had been tense between Kelly and Stella. Starting with Stella worrying about Gallo going over to squad. Then there was the "you always get your way comment". If that wasn't enough. Planning their wedding was contentious, Kelly not wanting to spend all their savings on one day. Stella, never had her dream wedding. Marrying Grant was toxic from the beginning. There was never a dream wedding. Stella wanted to marry the real love of her life and have it be a day to remember forever. With that being said, the plans may of gotten away from her and became a little out of control. Now she was wondering if she had ruined everything. Maybe, there was just too much baggage from both their pasts. She was doubting if Kelly still wanted to marry her. As thoughts consumed her, 81 was heading back to the station when Boden came on the radio, stating there was an incident. Informing her Kelly was in the hospital after a backlash from the food truck investigation. Stella raced into Med, desperately looking for her fiancé. Any tension or thoughts that were plaguing her had been thrown out the window. As she was finally, taken to see Kelly. Her emotions took over.
"Are you ok, are you in any pain?"
"I'm ok. Everything is ok"
"Stella, I Love You"
"I know. I know I have been pushing to get my way"
"I think we both know that's not the real problem"
"What are we so afraid of?"
"We don't know what we're doing. There is no academy for this"
"The only way to learn in how to run into a fire is by doing it. Let's just do it. Not 4 months from now. Let's do it next week"
"That sounds perfect"
As Kelly was discharged, still in some pain but overall relieved to be OK. They went home to the loft. As Kelly got comfortable on the couch where shortly after Stella joined him.
"Kelly I'm so sorry for how I have been acting. The whole Gallo situation. Getting so carried away with wedding plans. The truth is. I never thought I would have this. Getting married to my dream man. So I think I was desperate to have a dream wedding. You are my world. The love of my life. After Grant, I never thought I was deserving of this kind of happiness and you came into my life and everything changed. I let what marrying you is truly about get away from me and I'm sorry. Getting that call on the radio, destroyed me and put everything into perspective for me"
"Stella, babe. I'm sorry too. Marrying you means everything to me. I was just getting into my head about my past. I was such a mess, especially with women. I was just existing after Shay died, hell even before that but definitely more so after. Women were just a way to feel good for a short time or even a distraction. When I did let a woman in, I would get betrayed or lose them anyway. That all changed when you walked into 51. I hopelessly fell in love with you. Head over heels in love. You are the love of my life. The one person I would never survive losing. Given my past, and the revolving door of women. It became terrifying, thinking of ever hurting you. Or not being the husband you deserve. Because you, my love deserve THE WORLD. But I know without a doubt in the world. There is nothing I want more than for you to become my wife where I can spend the rest of our lives showing you just how much you deserve happiness. I am going to be the man you deserve FOREVER"
"I can't wait to marry you, you have made me the happiest man over these past 6 years"
"I LOVE YOU SO MUCH, KELLY SEVERIDE. So we are really doing this in a week?"
"We are"
"We got this Stella Kidd"
