Lost Soul

Part 8 : Kelly

After exchanging a look or two, the woman she had called Katherine finally recognized her.

"Stella" she said even more surprised.

"what are you doing here and who is that" Stella asked as she saw that little boy with her.

"I live close, and I didn't know what to do, my son has been breathing a bit weird. So i thought the paramedics could help or something" she sounded frustrated.

"Well they're on a call right now, but we could go inside and you wait until they are back. Even the firefighters could help you yeah?" Stella said trying to convince her.

"Okay, i like that idea"

She picked the little boy up, from what Stella was seeing the little boy was almost two years old. His little face was so cute, she couldn't handle how big his eyes were.

She let Katherine in the common room, and let Chief know she'd be waiting a little while with her. In a way it was a good surprise for her, Katherine had been with her a little bit living in the streets. Of course at some point she had vanished from Stella's life, so now having her in front of her felt weird but good. Stella didn't have a lot of people in her life, she didn't have anyone at all except for some people she used to hang out with when she lived in the streets. So she was happy to find Katherine and hopefully, they could keep in touch.

They waited a little while, and the first ones back were squad.

"Hey" they all said as they saw Katherine.

But it stopped there, so Stella decided to speak when she saw Katherine didn't dare to do so.

"She said that her son is breathing a bit weirdly, so she was waiting for you or ambo to come back" Stella explained.

"Oh, well can i" Kelly said as he extended his arms to get the little boy "how long has he been like this"

"Ever since this morning" Katherine affirmed.

So Kelly grabbed the little boy who was a bit confused as to who he was. He made sure to smile, and tickle him.

"What's his name?"

"His name is Grey"

"Well hi Grey" he smiled once again "he does sound a bit stuffy, it feels like he might have a slight fever"

"So nothing too bad right?" Katherine asked concerned.

"No I believe he'll be fine, but just wait for the paramedics. Maybe they can give him something so he can get better" he held the little boy "Right Grey, you can tell mommy you're a big boy and you'll be fine"

And seeing Kelly hold that baby had Stella lost in her thoughts, she was reminded instantly of everything that had been said in the session today with Dr Charles. And there Kelly was, being the most charming ever with Katherine's baby.

"Stella" she then snapped as she heard Chief call for her "i need you"

She could now leave Katherine with all the guys, so she left and went back to her desk. Chief needed her to make some calls for him, and so she did. It didn't take long but rather than going back there she decided to stay at her desk thoughtful. So thoughtful that without realizing it she was thinking about Grant.

It was the third year, maintaining a proper a way of counting the days was hard for her. And at this point she could be completely wrong, but she was trying. Grant was finally back, she supposed he was back from work. Because she never really knew what he would go out to do, she didn't really know if it was work or if he would just go out to get high. And as he came in like he usually did, she started a conversation.
