Chicago Fire FanFic (English)

Chapter 1

Caleb still has 6 weeks of school ahead of him before the long-awaited summer vacation finally begins.

"I'm home." Caleb called as he walked through the door. "Hey big one, do you want a snack too?" Kelly asked from the kitchen. "No." Caleb called, and went to his room. "What's wrong with him?" Benjamin asked. "I don't know, buddy, you clear your plates and then go into the living room and play. I'll be right back." Kelly said, got some cookies from the kitchen drawer and a fruit juice from the fridge and went upstairs. Kelly knocked on the door and entered. "Hey, I've got you some cookies and a fruit juice for you." Kelly said, setting the plate on the bedside table. "Thanks Dad." Caleb said, continuing to work on his homework. "Is there anything I can help you with?" Kelly asked. "You can help me with chemistry afterwards, I have a chemistry and an English exam tomorrow." Caleb said. "Don't you want to come downstairs instead of being alone up here?" Kelly asked. "No, it's okay. I'll come down to study later." Caleb said as he worked on his biology assignment. "Okay, but if you need help, come downstairs." Kelly said. When Stella, Sylvie and Matt returned from shopping a few hours later, the kids were playing in the living room. "Hey, I see you have everything under control." Stella laughed. "Well, not exactly." Kelly said. "Why, what's the matter?" Sylvie asked. "I don't know either. Caleb came home from school and went straight to his room." Kelly said. "Shall I talk to him?" Matt asked. "Mommy, Mommy, Caleb is angry" Benjamin said, who was walking into the kitchen with the other kids. "Why is he angry?" Stella asked her eldest son. "I don't know." Benjamin said. "I'll check on him." Matt said.

Matt knocked on Caleb's door. "What is it?" Caleb said, annoyed. Matt opened the door. "May I come in?" he asked. "If you have to." Caleb said. "Hey, what's going on?" Matt asked. "Nothing at all." Caleb said. Matt came over to him and looked over his shoulder. "Don't you always study chemistry with your dad?" Matt asked. "Mhmm." Caleb grumbled. "Hey, come on, look at me ... what's going on?" Matt asked, turning Caleb's chair. Caleb rolled his eyes and put his pen aside. "Come on, you can tell me anything." Matt tried to encourage him. Caleb took two pieces of paper out of his portfolio and gave them to his godfather. "What's that?" Matt asked. "These are my homework and study plans." Caleb said. "What does that mean?" Matt asked. "That means I'll be busy doing homework and studying for the last 6 weeks leading up to summer break, so I don't have time to do anything." Caleb said, turning and continuing to work on his homework. "Is that all?" Matt asked. Caleb nodded. "Okay, I'm relieved, we thought something bad happened." Matt said. "Hey you two, is everything okay?" Kelly asked, who now came into the room. "Are you going to tell him, or should I?" Matt asked. Caleb got up, went to the door and closed it. "Do I have to worry?" Kelly asked, unsure how to react. "No, he's making it more dramatic than it actually is." Matt said. "Ok, Caleb, come on, what's wrong?" Kelly asked. Caleb got the two pieces of paper and gave them to his dad. "These are the plans for assignments that have yet to be done and exams that are yet to come, which means I'll be busy doing homework and studying for the next 6 weeks." Caleb explained. Kelly frowned at his son. "Is that all?" he asked. "I told you he was making it more dramatic than it is." Matt smiled. «What should I have done? My teachers are already putting enough pressure on and would like to have everything done in one day and they are looking over our shoulders the whole-time during class. I just wanted to work and study in peace." Caleb said, desperate and tears rolled down his face. "Hey, come and sit down." Kelly said. Caleb sat on the bed. "So now calm down and take a deep breath." Kelly said and sat down next to his son. Caleb wiped the tears from his face and took a few deep breaths. "It's not just about that. I have lessons up to 2:30 p.m. every day and then another hour and a half of training. After that I still have to do homework and study for exams. I have a headache, I'm tired and I just don't feel like it anymore." Caleb said and let himself fall on the bed. Kelly and Matt looked at him with concern. Suddenly Caleb jumped up, ran into the bathroom, and slammed the door behind him. Kelly and Matt heard Caleb throw up. "Caleb, are you alright?" Kelly asked. " Does it sound like that!" Caleb shouted. "Can we come in?" Kelly asked. "Yes." Caleb said. Caleb was splashing water on his face when Kelly and Matt walked into the bathroom. When Caleb vomited again, Kelly made up his mind. «So that's enough. We're going to the hospital and if we have to, we'll put you on sick leave." Kelly said. "No, I also have to clean the aquarium." Caleb groaned. "That can wait, we'll go to Med. In the end you'll collapse." Kelly said, laying out fresh clothes for Caleb. "Your dad is right. We can do the aquarium too... Come on, I'll help you." Matt said. "I'll let the girls know and get the car out of the garage." Kelly said and left the room.

When Matt and Caleb came downstairs a few minutes later, Stella and Sylvie were standing in the entrance area. "I informed Maggie that we would come over." Kelly said. "Call when you have news." Sylvie said. "Is that really necessary? I'm feeling a little better." Caleb said, pulling on his shoes. "Yeah, we just want to make sure everything is okay." Kelly said. Caleb rolled his eyes. "Come on, the sooner we get this over with, the sooner we'll be home." Kelly said. "All right, let's go." Caleb said and went to the car. Kelly kissed Stella and closed the door behind him.
