Ok, I know im still updating "Bound To You," (& all my other stories lol) but with Fire being back and everything happening with Kelly, I wanted to write something…So enjoy :)

Kelly walked out of Boden's office feeling like he was just punched in the gut. Running his hand through his hair, he kicked the wall, before going in to his office to start boxing up his stuff. He started slamming things into a box, he felt like pushing everything off the desk and almost did, until he saw the pictures; pictures that Erin insisted he needed. There was one of him and Shay from his birthday party a few years back, one of him and Erin at Molly's, and one that was his personal favorite, one of Erin and Shay. It was picture neither knew he was taking at the time. They had all been at Molly's drinking and having a good time; it was one of the first nights they had all hung out together, Shay and Erin still getting to know each other. He could feel some of the tension of his current 51 status leaving his body as the memories came back.

After putting the box in his car, he took at seat at the table with some of the guys. That was when Dallas had had a pizza delivered. The guys sat there and watched as Dallas ate his pizza, not wanting to make Kelly feel worse. Knowing the guys wouldn't eat lunch until he gave his ok, he took a slice before getting up and walking out of 51.

As Kelly sat in his class filling out the paperwork, he looked around at the other people there. A guy in suit to his right, seemed nice enough, let him barrow a pen. There was a blonde on his left, she smiled up at him. They talked a little back and forth; she was telling him about how she had lost her temper at her firm. Before he could answer, the instructor started talking and telling them to 'buddy up.' Tempted by the blonde, he decided that the suit was probably a better choice, that was if he didn't want a certain detective to kick his ass.

When he went to leave, the blonde crabbed him, "hey, I thought we were gonna buddy up, what happened back there? Now I'm stuck with this women who talked my ear off all class."

"Sorry, the other guy grabbed me first," he answered pulling his phone out of his pocket.

"Uh huh, well I'm Jamie by the way," she said continuing to walk next to him.

"Kelly. Look I don't mean to be rude, but I gotta go, I'm still on shift," he said getting into his car and heading back to the firehouse.

Erin walked into 51 with a to go bag from hers and Kelly's favorite diner. It had been a slow day over at CPD and she thought lunch with her fireman was perfect. Smiling she greeted everyone as she made her way back to Kelly's office. Knocking on the door she let herself in, "hope you're hungry, I got…and you're not Kelly."

"No, I'm Lieutenant Dallas, I'm taking over for Kelly here at 51."

Erin nodded, a confused look on her face, "do you know where Kelly is?"

"Nope, he left about an hour ago." Nodding again, she walked out of the office.

As she started walking passed the bunks, Kelly walked in heading to his. Seeing her, his annoyed looked turned into a smile. "Hey," he said walking over, placing a quick kiss on her lips.

"Hey, what's up with that?" she asked gesturing toward the office as he lead her to his bunk.

"Ah, I'd rather not talk about that." He knew that answered would sit well with Erin, "don't worry, I'll tell you all about this mess later right now I'd rather just enjoy the fact that you're here."

"Ok sweet talker, you're lucky I'm hungry," she replied, pulling the food out of the bag.

"Yeah, me too, but not for food," he laughed pulling her toward him.

"Kelly!" Erin yelled as she pushed him back, unfortunately they no longer had the privilege of a closed door. She kissed his lips one more time before grabbing for the food again. "You need to eat before you go out on a call."

"Ok mom," he joked, receiving a smack on the arm from the women sitting next to him.

"Very funny, but you'll be thanking me when you're not starving when you're out on a call," she said stuffing a French fry in her mouth.

"Yeah, yeah. So any big cases?"

"Mm, not really, today's been pretty slow, that's why I could actually make time for lunch," she laughed.

"I'm glad you did, you have no idea how much I needed this today," Kelly said, his voice getting quiet towards the end of that statement.

Erin took his hand in hers and rubbed over it with her thumb, "this is only temporary Kel, you'll figure this out and get your job back." He nodded, keeping his head down. He hated how easily she could pull his walls down, how she could always get him to feel things he didn't want to feel. Part of him did secretly love it though, that she knew him better than anyone and she was still there, willing to help him through it all.

Before Kelly could answer, the alarm sounded and he had to leave for a call. "Ahh, I gottta…"

"It's fine, I gotta get back to the station anyway. Be safe out there," she said nudging his shoulder as he started to walk away. He turned back around, grabbing her face and kissing her hard.

Pulling away from the kiss, he rested his forehead against hers and smiled, "I love you."

Erin went to reply, but unfortunately for the happy couple, Dallas walked out clearing his throat. "Severide, move it!"

Scoffing Kelly pulled away, "hey, don't let him get under your skin ok?" He nodded smiling back at his girl, "Now go, I'll see you tonight."

Kelly was beyond grateful to be getting off shift after taking a backseat all day. He slammed his bag down on the counter and went straight to the fridge for a beer. Shaking his head and running his hand through his hair. Finishing off his drink he made his way up the loft steps to take a hot shower.

Coming down the steps, Kelly heard a knock at his door. "Yeah, yeah I'm coming," he said more to himself, as he walked to the door in a pair of sweat pants, his towel around his neck. Opening the door, he was pleasantly surprised. "You have no idea how good it is to see you right now."

Erin laughed, walking past him, "I figured you could use this tonight," she answered holding up a twelve pack before placing it on the counter.

"I could use something else more," he said walking over, looping his arms around her waste, kissing her neck.

Turning in his arms she smiled and arced her eyebrow, "really? And what would that be?" He slammed his mouth down on to hers, she opened her mouth, allowing his tongue access and he pushed her back into the counter. Lifting her up, he sat her on top of it and she rapped her legs around him, pulling him closer.

He started to pull on her shirt, untucking it from her pants, he started to unbutton it, but getting frustrated, he decided to just pull it open. He then reached for her tank top, only breaking their kiss when he pulled it over her head. Running her hands down his bare chest she stopped at his waste band, slipping her hand inside for a moment, smiling at his reaction. He scooped her up in his arms moving them over to the couch, laying her down and moving himself over top of her.

"Yup, that definitely made up for the day I had," Kelly said kissing the side of Erin's head as they lay tangled on the couch. She laughed in response and playfully hit his chest. "I don't know how I'm gonna be able to handle this every shift."

"I know its not easy, but you'll get through it, just get through this class and your squad is yours again." He nodded in response and she gave him a sad smile, "for what it's worth, I know you can lead. I know you Kelly and you would never intentionally put your squad in danger or do anything reckless." She shifting placing a small kiss on his lips before getting off the couch. She grabbed his 51 sweatshirt he had resting on the chair and slipped it on before heading into the kitchen grabbing to of the beer she brought over. "Ok, no more thinking. We are gonna sit here and watch the highlights from the Blackhawks game and drink this twelve pack," she laughed handing him one of the beers and plopping down next to him. Taking the beer Kelly just starred at her with a goofy grin on his face as she grabbed the remote and found the game highlights. Taking a sip of her beer, she noticed him starring, "what?"

"Nothing, your just something else," he answered pulling her into him. This is exactly what he needed. She knew how to make all the chaos in his life stop, at least momentarily.

Erin walked in Molly's the next night after shift, laughing at the site. The guys were all up beers in hand singing together. Hermann had declared tonight Karaoke night and it was free for all. Walking up to the bar she ordered a beer. She saw Gabby behind the bar reorganizing glasses. Looking up, she Erin sitting at the bar and smiled, "hey, Lindsay!"

"Hey Gabby, I hear congratulations are in order."

Dawson looked at her a little confused, "how did you…?"

"Well I work with your brother and you work with my boyfriend, I was bound to find out," she said with a little laugh.

"Right. It's just we were trying to keep it quiet for a while and now it just seems like everyone knows."

"Gotcha. If it makes you feel any better, I haven't told anyone."

Gabby laughed a little, "thanks. Hey don't look now, but I think you have an admirer," she smiled and went back to work.

The detective looked at her confused, then turned to see what she was talking about. The confusion was replaced by a smile when she saw Kelly walking towards her. "Hey beautiful," he said pecking her lips and sitting on the stool next to her.

"Why didn't you tell me that Matt and Gabby are keeping the baby thing quiet?"

"I don't know, I mean everyone knows, I didn't think it mattered," Kelly said shrugging it off and looking around the bar. "You should get up and sing something," he said taking a swig of his beer.

"Yeah, I don't think so," she shot back drinking from her own beer.

"Oh come on it's fun."

"Well you can go have fun, I'll sit right here and watch."

He finished up his beer and paid both of their tabs, "or we can head back to my place and have fun there."

Erin woke up the next morning to Kelly in the shower, she smiled and headed down to the kitchen to make them coffee. She put her coffee down hearing a knock the door. Opening it, she found a blonde standing there, the smile now fading seeing the brunette. "Can I help you?"

"Yeah, I'm looking for Kelly," the blonde said peaking her head in, "are you his sister?" She asked walking in past the detective.

Severide walked down the steps seeing the annoyed look on Erin's face, the blonde walking over to him and wrapping her arms around him. He pushed her off and looked at her with confusion, "Jamie, what are you doing here?"

"I came by to see you," Jamie answered as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

The annoyance growing on Lindsay's face by the second, she didn't know who this 'Jamie' girl was, but if she didn't leave soon she would be meeting the detective's fist. She cleared her throat getting the attention of the blonde and the fireman, crossing her arms across her chest.

"Jamie, this is Erin, my girlfriend, Erin, Jamie, she's in my leadership class."

"Oh, well I didn't know you were seeing someone, we seemed to really hit it off."

"Right, well I am, look I'll see you in class ok?" He asked practically pushing the blonde out of his apartment.

"What the hell was that?" Erin asked grabbing her jacket, she didn't realize how late it was.

"What? You think I invited her here?"

"I don't know, I mean if you hit it off."

"Erin come on, we barely talked, she asked to my book buddy and I turned her down, I ended up pairing with this boring guy in a suit. You can't seriously think that I would do that to you."

"It's not like you don't have a reputation for it," she knew it was a low blow, but she was upset and blindsided by this whole situation, right now she didn't care if she was over reacting. "I don't know, look I'm gonna be late for work, I'll see you later."

Kelly just shook his head watching her leave, he had done the right thing, blown off this girl from his class and some how she still ended up messing up his life.

When Kelly walked into 51, he found out that the house was under investigation for negligence. And because things weren't bad enough, he over heard Hermann talking about the problems at Molly's. He wished he could go into his office and shut out the world, but he no longer had one. So he settled on his bunk, closing his eyes as he laid down, that lasted all of thirty seconds before grabbing his phone. He wanted to text Erin, tell her that he was sorry even though he really hadn't done anything wrong. He didn't know how things could go from so great to so horrible in less than twenty-four hours.

"Severide, I'd like to see you in my office," Boden said walking back.

Kelly sat up and ran a hand through his hair, Now what? He thought walking into the office and taking a seat. "What's up Chief?"

"Gabby called, apparently the files she was working on to clear us disappeared, we were hoping to get CPD's tech guy on it. Do you think you could call Erin? See what she can do?"

Great, he thought, Erin was already pissed at him and now he needed a favor? "I don't know if that's the best idea. Can't Dawson just call her brother?"

"She has enough on her plate right now,"

"But Chief…"

"Make the call Kelly!" he said firmly. Nodding Severide got up and left the office. He figured he should just head up to the precinct, it was probably better to handle things with Erin in person anyway.

When he got to the station he was greeted by Sergeant Platt, who before letting him go upstairs, was telling him stories about her and Mouch. Lindsay was sitting at her desk joking with Halstead when Kelly came up. To say it didn't sting to see him leaning on her desk would have been a lie. It made what happened this morning seem more reasonable, he got it.

"Kelly, what are you doing here?" Erin asked looking up, the smile leaving her face.

He made his way over to her desk, his eyes going back and forth between her & Jay, that was until the other detective decided to find something else to do. "Can we talk?"

"I'm working."

"I know, but…this actually isn't a social call." Her face immediately changing from annoyed to concerned, "Chief wanted to see if we could use your tech guy, there were some files on these drives, Gabby was working on a case, but now everything is gone. We were hoping you guys could help us get it back."

She nodded getting up from her desk, "I'll take you down, we'll see what Mouse can do."

After taking a look at everything, Mouse told Kelly about what may have happened and pulling the files. He got up leaving the room to get something, leaving Kelly and Erin alone for a moment.

There was an awkward silence between the two, that was until Kelly tried to break the tension. "Look Erin, I'm sorry, what happened this morning…"

"I don't wanna talk about it now."

"Yeah, but…" he was interrupted by a call coming in on his talkie, "I gotta take this, we'll talk later."

She nodded, watching him out. As mad as she was at him, she still couldn't help but worry about him.

Erin was happy to finally be home. She grabbed a beer from her fridge and sat down on the couch. She thought about today, the headache of a day. All the craziness that happened with their case plus the craziness at 51, she sighed taking another swig. She had checked in with Mouse about the situation at the firehouse, he said they had gotten it figured out, but he didn't know how, he heard it from Antonio.

She felt awful about everything with Kelly, she knew he had probably had another rough day. She went to pick up her phone to call him, but heard someone knock at her door. She was partially surprised, but partially relieved when she saw him at the door. "Hi," he said shyly, not knowing how she was going to react to seeing him. He just knew he had to see her, had to make things right.

"Hi," she replied gesturing for him to come in. "Look Kelly, I'm sorry about earlier, I overreacted. And I shouldn't have made that comment about you…Of all people i should know not to use someone's past against them."

"It's not like you were wrong. Yeah I've dated a lot of women, I never turned down the opportunity to get drunk and hookup, but that changed with you. Erin, I love you." She nodded. "And I do get it by the way." She looked at him with confusion, "the way you acted this morning. I felt the way you did this morning when I saw you and Halstead, I kind of wanted to punch that guy."

Erin couldn't help but smile, "you were jealous."

He looked back up at her, a stupid grin on his face, "I was not jealous…stop changing the subject."

She laughed and walked closer to her, he took his hands in hers, "It's ok, I think it's cute…And I love you too."

Bending down he captured her lips, it felt so good to be with her again, especially after today.

Moving over to the couch they sat snuggled, Erin's legs rest over Kelly's. She picked up her beer and handed it to him, "you look like you need this more than I do."

"Thank," he replied taking a swig, "it's just been rough. I feel like it's one things after another. Turns out Duffy's the one who took the files. Then we find him on a bridge. It's just been a hell of a day."

"I'm glad you came over," Lindsay replied leaning into him.

"Yeah me too," he said pulling her closer, kissing the side of her head.
