The next morning
Stella pov: i am so curious about what Brett told me about kelly like how he y got married in Vegas Long time ago and didn't tell me. I want to find out so bad why he didn't tell me but I'm gonna wait till I get back to the apartment I don't want talk about it but now it's distracting me though out work on last shift We are at the apartment and we had a little discussion the car about coffee we still have it going on when we walk in the door
S= I just feel like
K= hey it's not up for debate I like my coffee from a pot not a pallet
S= fine I'll drop it for now
( I tell myself it's time to ask him now or never) I have a question for you
K= what
S= were you ever married before
K= Who told you that
S= so I guess that's a yes
K= it was a crazy time we first met I just lost my best friend and she had just lost her sister
S= Did you love her
K= at the time maybe
S= well it wouldn't have been good to hear about it
K= sorry
S= are there any other surprises that I should know about other ex wives you haven't mentioned
K= fiancée count
S= seriously
K= I am just putting it all out there I was young
S= but you are smarter now you got yourself figured out right
K= I am working on it
Kelly's pov: i I hate so much Stella that had to find out about my Vegas wedding from somebody else not me. I didn't really mean that much to me so I kind of forgot about it but I guess I should've told her sooner but oh well. Next shift I might find out who told her. I think it might of been Dawson that talk her since they are best friends
The next shift
Stella pov: I ask herman if I could switch him for the equipment check today. He's said it was fine I just wanted to be by myself and think about the whole situation with Kelly. As I am in the turn out doing it Matt comes in
Ca= I thought Herman was doing the equipment check today
S= he was but we switch because I just wanted some time to myself
Ca= everything OK
S= yeah ... just dumb stuff did you know that severide used to be married
Ca= (ok gabby told me that Brett spill that Kelly was married in Vegas and Stella was shocked was warn I knew this was coming) for what it's worth she wasn't exactly the love of his life I wouldn't worry
S= i'm not worried I just hear stories like that and it freaks me out because every time I think I know the guy I discover that he is hiding something else
Ca = yup I understand the feeling entirely
S= I can see that how do you manage
Ca= by being patient when I Can be honest when I have to be it isn't always easy. Gabby and Kelly both have these little corners of them selves or no one else is allowed how do even us. Can't change them but you can set your own standards
A few hours later in shift
Stella pov: I am in the kitchen making myself coffee and I start to think about what Matt said about Kelly and Gabby how they are so much alike about keeping to themselves all the time and how we can't control how they share with everybody but we should create our own standards for them.
As I am thinking I overhear herman mention how he wants to put his apartment above his garage into like a bed-and-breakfast kind of thing. And in that moment I realized me and Kelly moved in as friends and then we started dating I still living in the same house we kind of skipped a step normal couples would take. He walks away so I go after him.
S= hey Herman how serious are you about winning that apartment out
H= how are you know somebody that needs a place
S= sure OK it's me
H= but I thought you and severide were
S= we are we are but we moved in together and we skip the dating part and I'm just starting to think it was a mistake
H= got to go with your gut if you want it it's yours
S= thanks
Once Herman walk so I feel relieved a little bit I want things to go good with Kelly this time and now I got to figure out a way to tell Kelly and hopefully he would understand and don't blame himself like he always does
Shift is ending
Stella pov: I I am ready to go home so I go to find Kelly to see if he's ready because we took one car today. One of the guys tell me he's in the locker room
S= hey I am ready to hit the road whenever you are
K= yeah just give me a minute
S= I meant to tell you that I spoke of Herman about moving into his apartment upstairs in the garage
K= what
S= I just don't want it to be another mistake another story about moving too fast burning out quick because we had done that once before
K= wait wait wait wait Stella if you're talking about Brittney we were married for less than a month it was the easiest Annulment ever it's like it never even happened
S= that's what concerns me
I just walk away to see if Herman can give me a ride to his place.
Kelly's pov what in the world just happened I thought me and Stella were in a good spot then she wants to move out I need to think about this for a second
About an hour later.
I don't care where she lives I just want to make things work with her this time because she is probably the best thing that's ever happened to me a long time
Stella pov I just look around my new apartment and thinking I am doing what is right for me and kelly so look away from the door again and then I hear someone knocking on the door and I turn around and there stood Kelly
S= hey
K= you really doing this
S= I am doesn't change the way I feel about you or us. In fact it's the opposite I don't want things to change and that's why I think that this
K= Stella I don't care where you live wherever you are that is where I want to be
Stella pov: After he said that I do believe that things are changing for the better. We kissed for a few minutes then we pull away and give each other a hug
K= you kind of scared me for a second there in the locker room
S= sorry
K= it's hey so OK let's order something to eat and just relax here together then will give me your stuff over here at your apartment up for you
S= I would love that
