"Why didn't you tell me..." Owen looks at TK half disappointed with his actions, he was confused to say the least.
"I didn't know how to tell you, but I just get a whole different buzz from saving someone's life - like I won't be the one calling for the ambulance when we're on scene, because I will be the one giving the life saving treatment... I can't follow in your footsteps forever dad"
"Oh... right, I understand I guess - but if that's what you want to do, I can't exactly stop you can I" Owen huffed, giving a half hearted smile. Although, he didn't want TK to change the career he knew he wouldn't be able to stop his son from doing what he thought would be better for himself. He didn't want to admit it but he was proud of his son for taking the job.
"Seriously dad?"
"Yeah, I can't stop you and I will technically still be working with you so I don't mind."
"Thanks dad!" TK smiled, hobbling over to Owen giving him a hug.
"You need to get back home now TK, your mother wouldn't want you to be walking around with your leg in a cast - she would physically kill me"
"Alright, alright - I will go find Carlos and we shall head home. Thanks again dad, I appreciate you supporting this" He smiled one last time before he walked away, in search of his boyfriend.
~Two months Later~
It had been two months since TK broke his leg when the wild fires happened, he finally had the cast off after a month and took another month off doing recertification of being a paramedic - updating his medical skills and working on the field, he learnt most when he did his fire service recertification, but some things where different for being a paramedic - but Vega was there to help when TK needed the helping hand with revision.
And today... was finally, TK's first day as a paramedic for the 126...
"Oh look at you baby! That paramedic coat suits you so well, your going to do great today on your first shift as a paramedic!" Carlos smiled looking his boyfriend up and down as he took in how different he looked with Paramedic written all over him.
"You really think so?" TK smiled slightly, he was getting nervous over starting as a paramedic - even though he was still surrounded by the people he worked with when he was a firefighter.
"I really do think you'll be a great paramedic." Carlos smiled, wrapping his hands around TK's waist, pulling him in for a passionate kiss.
"Although I like where this is going" TK patted Carlos's chest slightly as he pulled away more, "I need to get to the station, can't be late on my first day as a 126 paramedic now can I" TK smirked, quickly pecking Carlos on the lips.
"Fine, do you want me to come with you? Drop you off - I'm not at work today, that is unless I'm called in" Carlos smiled, letting go of TK finally.
"Um... sure" With that TK and Carlos made their way to the fire station - chatting about random things on their way.

"Have a good day babe, I will see you after work and I will come pick you up - how does a date night sound too" Carlos smiled, pecking TK on the lips as he watched him do his final checks before going in his first shift as a paramedic.
"That sounds so nice babe, I think I might have to take that offer" he smiled back, hugging Carlos one last time. "I guess this is really it... why do I feel so nervous" he chuckled slightly, making Carlos realise how nervous he actually was to be working as paramedic.
"It is happening and your going to smash it - just like firefighting just the other part that you don't normally do... you did this in New York though kind off, so you will do fine" Carlos smiles, grabbing TK's hand to comfort his nerves.
"That's true, right... I'm going in - I will see you later" he smiles, before getting out of the car - making his way into the station being met by his friends - Mateo, Judd, and Marjan.
"TK! How you feeling, won't be fighting the fires now!" Mateo smiles, hugging his friend.
"Yeah, it feels weird, but it's good I guess - finally doing something for myself" he smiles, glancing at his father, Owen - who didn't look too convinced at his decision.
"Oh how I will miss bossing you around when you can't take orders from me" Judd smirks at TK, who throws back a glare yet smiles at the memories of when TK and Owen first came down to Austin.
"Face it, you love me really Judd"
"Just like a son to Me" he smiles, bro hugging him before going back to cleaning the truck.
TK finally turned towards his father, quickly giving him a smile before giving him a quick "hello".
"Well... I'm not your captain anymore, I'm just your dad - wow, it's going to feel weird. Tommy, you go hard on him if you need to" Owen laughs, pulling his son into a hug , ruffling his hair like what he used to do when he was a child, making TK pull away from the hug quicker as he tried to save his hair from being ruined.
"Oh thanks dad" TK joked, rolling his eyes before turning to look at Nancy and Tommy. "Well I guess this is it!"
"Nancy is going to show you the ins and outs of the ambulance - not like you know them already but, sometimes we like to change things up so off you go" Tommy smiles.
"Yes captain" TK smirked, before waving at everyone a goodbye.
