-Hi guys I'm so sorry that I haven't updated in so long my computer broke and I still don't have a new one, also schools been really hectic lately and to be honest after Shays death I lost inspiration but after reading some of your nice words about this fic I decided to carry on . Hope you enjoy-

Kelly continued on about Rafferty and how he was going to tell everyone at 51 that Shay spent the whole day with her.

Shay got up from the kitchen bench to playfully hit Severide for his childish behavior, but before she could, he got up and ran into the living room and stood on the opposite side of the sofa.

"Are you serious?"

"Come on Shay! Ok I'll make a deal, if you can catch me before I get upstairs then I promise I won't tell anybody that your 'in love with Allison Rafferty' " he teased

"you better start running Kelly! and I'm NOT INLOVE with her!"

Shay chased Kelly around the sofa three times before deciding to jump over it, catching Kelly off guard, he ducked just in time and dashed down the hallway.

"KELLY SEVERIDE ! "

shay ran after him as fast as she could ,even though she knew she would have him trapped. This was fun! She hasn't had this much fun with her best friend for a while, she missed it ,so she caught him with a bear hug.

"Gotcha!"

Kelly and Shay walked into fire house 51 laughing and playfully pushing each other around. As they walked into the room Shay describes as the 'hang room' she was greeted by everyone she smiled back and then told Severide that she was going to go have a nap.

Shay was comfortable, all her muscles were relaxing and her mind was completely free for the first time in a while. She fell asleep almost instantly..

Rafferty walked into fire house 51 and made her way to the changing rooms, got dressed into her paramedic uniform and made her way nervously into the room where all of 51 were gathered, talking and joking with each other. Allison immediately recognized that a certain woman was not there and instantly felt her heart drop

"hey Rafferty? What are you doing back so early? " Herman exclaimed turning everyone's attention to the brunette

" The chief called me back early, apparently my suspension has been dropped"

"That's great! We have all missed you being around, how've you been?" Otis said genuinely

" I've been alright I guess, a little bored" She stated

"I've missed you guys too..." The words fell out of Raffertys mouth before she even knew what she was saying

" well we are all glad you are back its not been the same without you" Severide innocently teased knowing that no one would question or understand the underlying meaning of his statement.

Rafferty took a seat and searched the room again just to be sure the blonde wasnt there.

"She's taking a nap" Severide quietly hinted to Allison as he knew her reason for her subtle search. Allison felt her heart beat increase at Kelly's words, to be honest she was terrified. How did he know who she was looking for?

"Thanks... Umm I'm just going to let her know I'm back" Rafferty said whilst getting up to go find Shay. She could fell Kellys eyes on her the whole time she was in his view and knew he must know something's up. Rafferty began to panic and fled the room as fast as she could to get the feeling of Kelly Severides stare off her back. As she left Severide chuckled silently into his coffee cup.

Rafferty made her way over to Shays unmoving body. She looked so peaceful and Rafferty just couldn't help but admire every inch of her beautiful face. She regretted what she was about to do.

"Shay?" Raffertys voice barely came out as a whisper.

"Shay" she tried again getting the sleeping woman's attention.

Shay knew instantly who was calling her name but she didn't move at the sound of Raffertys voice.

"what is with you and always disturbing my slumber..." Shay moaned teasingly making Raffertys jump as she thought she was still asleep.

" sorry, I'll come back later" she turned to leave

" no it's fine I was only messing with you, come back" Shay said still not having opened her eyes and patted the side of the bed. Within a few seconds she felt the bed dip slightly from the brunette and smiled.

"hey what are you doing here? I mean at 51?" Shay asked sleepily

"My suspension got cut short, so I'm back" Rafferty said softly, smiling at the girl beside her.

shays eyes flew open then

" you're back?!" Shay exclaimed far to happily and then felt her cheeks getting hot.

"I'm back" Rafferty said looking straight into the other girls eyes with so much affection, and smiled
