"Jay why are you so nervous?"
"Because I'm meeting your parents tonight."
I laughed.
"So is Stella. The attention isn't gonna be fully on you."
"Ok that's fair."
He laughed at me.
"I'll see you after work."
"Ok have a good day."
I grabbed my keys and my jacket and left to go to the firehouse.

While I was in the bathroom washing my hands Stella came in running.
"Are you ok?"
"No."
"Ok what's the matter?"
"I'm scared your parents aren't gonna like me."
"My parents are gonna love you."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because I know. Your the perfect girlfriend and you make Kelly happy. That's all they look for in his girlfriends."
"Thank you Sophia."
"Your welcome."
"Come on let's get back to work."
We walked out and saw Hermann and Mouch fighting.
"What are you two idiots fighting over?"
"Yeah let's ask Sophia. We can get her opinion."
I raised my eye brow.
"Which do you think is better chess or checkers?"
"That's why you two are fighting?"
"Yes."
Otis came over.
"Chess all the way."
Herman looked happy
"Told you."
I rolled my eyes and walked away.
"House fire. Truck 82, Squad 3, Engine 51." 61 was on a call so we would have another ambulance meet us at the scene.
We ran towards the rigs but we heard a deafening sound. Gunshots.
"Everybody get down."
"Battalion 25 to main, I need you to take firehouse 51 out of service, and call the cops."
"Everyone ok?"
"No I got shot." I heard Casey say.
I was closest to him so I crawled over.
"The bullet is through and through you need to stop the bleeding." I took my jacket off and tied it around his shoulder.
Then another round of bullets came through the window shattering the glass.
Then the gunshots sounded closer.
"They're inside."
Then we saw three black males come in with guns.
"Stand up and put your hands in the air now!"
We all did what he said.
"Give us your phones and your radios."
We gave them to the guy.
He handed all of us zip ties.
"Put them on your hands now!"
We all zip tied our hands together.
Two men stood behind us with guns and led us into the commons room.
"Sit down and shut up."
"He needs medical attention." I said
"I said shut up."
"Which one of you is Severide."
Everyone stayed quiet, I knew they wouldn't give me or Kelly up. We were all too close for that.
"Alright none of you want to tell me which one of you is Severide then I'll kill him." I watched them point a gun at Casey's head.
"Fine I'm Severide!" I yelled.
"Finally, one of you has common sense I see."
He came over and put the gun on my head now instead.
"Your father is the reason my father is dead. If the cops don't get us what we want your father is gonna feel the same pain I felt."

(Gabby's pov)
"I'm telling you. Give it a year and Stella and Kelly will be engaged." I laughed pulling into the firehouse parking lot. I noticed all the swat trucks and cop cars.
"What the hell?"
"Chief is everything ok?" Brett said into her radio.
Silence.
We got out of the rig and went up to one of the guys in charge.
"Hey what's going on?"
"Gunshots were fired at the firehouse. The firefighters are being held hostage."
"What?" I said with a panic in my voice.
"Is anyone hurt?" Brett asked.
"We don't know, we have no visual."
Jay came running towards us.
"I heard what happened is everyone okay? Is Sophia okay?"
"We don't know. The hostage negotiator has been trying to get a hold of one of the suspects."
"Boss we got him on the phone!"
Jay, Brett, and I ran over with him.
"You people got two hours. I want a way out of this firehouse and out of the city and just a little warning. I have a gun on this girls head as we speak. I also already shot one of these firefighters, I'm not afraid to shoot another one."
My heart dropped when he said he shot one. I hope they aren't dead.
I saw Jay getting visibly stressed when the guy said he had his gun on a females head.

(Sophias pov)
For having a gun on my head I was pretty calm. In fact I noticed Kelly and Cruz weren't around.
I looked up at the guy with a gun to my head.
He was young, no older than 30. He was younger than me.
"Hey man maybe if we let a hostage out they will get what we need quicker."
"That's a good idea. I'll call the hostage negotiator back."

(Gabbys pov)
The phone rang again.
"Hello?"
"I'm sending a hostage out."
"Ok send them out through the front door."
Jay, Brett, and I watched the door waiting for someone to come out.
I saw Hermann walk out.
He ran over to us and I gave him a hug.
"Oh my god are you ok?"
"Yeah I'm fine."
"What's going on in there?" Jay asked
"Everyone in their has zip ties around there wrists. One of the guys has a gun to Severide's head and the other one shot Casey."
"Is he dead?" I asked hoping the answer was no.
"No they shot him in the shoulder."
Thank god.
"Which Severide is being held at gunpoint?" Jay asked.
"Sophia." I saw the anger build up in his eyes.

(Sophias pov)
Out of the corner of my eye I saw Kelly coming from one side and Cruz coming from the other both with crowbars in their hands.
I decided it would be a good idea to distract the guy with the gun to my head.
"Hey can I ask you something?"
"What do you want?"
"How does holding us hostage benefit you."
After I said that Cruz and Kelly hit the guys in the back of the head with crowbars.
Unfortunately the guy with the gun to my head noticed them.
"Take one more step and I swear I'll blow her brains out." He lifted me off the ground so that I was standing.
He backed out of the firehouse. He turned around once Kelly and Cruz were out of view.
"If you don't let me through I will kill her!" He yelled walking towards where there was a barricade of cops.
"Just let her go man, we can talk about getting you what you want."
I knew that voice. It was Hank Voight.
I searched the crowd for Jay and I saw him leveling a sniper rifle at the guy holding me hostage.
"She won't get hurt if you just let me through!" I heard a gunshot and closed my eyes. I thought he shot me. When I didn't feel pain I opened my eyes and realized that Jay had shot him.
Jay came up to me and cut my zipties.
"Are you ok?" He asked. I nodded as he wiped the tears off my eyes.
"Thank you."
"Don't thank me for saving your life. I would do it in a heartbeat."

When we got home I put a dress on since we were going to a fancy restaurant.

I walked into the living room and saw Jay tying his shoes

"Hey don't be nervous my parents are going to love you."
"I know. You know you look beautiful."
"Thank you. Come on let's get going we don't want to be late."
We got in his truck and drove to the restaurant.
We walked in and were greeted by a hostess.
"Hi do you have reservations?"
"Yes party of 6 under the name Severide."
"Ok follow me." She smiled and I grabbed Jays hand.
We were led to a table where my dad, Kelly, and Stella were sitting.
My dad stood up and shook Jays hand.
"Nice to meet you Mr.Severide."
"Like wise."
"Hey dad where is mom exactly?"
"I don't know and I don't care."
"Ok well when she gets here for the sake of me,Kelly, Jay, and Stella. Don't rip each other's heads off please."
"I'm not making any promises."
I rolled my eyes at him.
The waiter came and we ordered. I ordered something I knew my mom would like for her.
"Finally she's here."
"Hey mom."
"Hey sweetie."
Jay got up and shook hands with her and introduced him to her.
After talking about Stella and Kelly for a little bit the attention turned to me and Jay.
"So how did you two meet?"
"We met in the army."
"The what.." I cut my mom off.
"I'll explain later."
She nodded.
"How long have you guys been dating?" My dad asked.
"9 months but before we broke up we dated for 4 months."
My mom and dad nodded.
"So is there gonna be any grandchildren."
"Mom come on."
I saw Kelly laughing out of the corner of my eye.
"Fine. Fine. How about any wedding bells."
"Mom I don't know."
We finished dinner and got that over with.

After we walked into the apartment I was still a little shaken up so we ran a bath.
I sat in the bath with Jay.
I had my head against his chest.
"What's on that pretty mind of yours?" Jay asked running his hand up and down my arm.
"I don't know how you do it." I mumbled.
"Do what?"
"In your line of work you could be held at gun point almost everyday. That takes courage."
"You wanna go there? You run into burning buildings every day to save people you don't know. That takes a set of balls."
"Yeah I guess your right. What's on your mind?"
"I'm thinking about what your mom said. Do you see any kids in our future. Or do you even see us together in your future?"
I grabbed his hands.
"Jay when I think about my future I see you and me living in a big house with a big yard
And a couple of kids. Maybe a dog."
"You do?"
"Yeah, do you?"
"Of course I do."
He kissed me.
"I love you."
"I love you too Jay."
