Kelly- Baker

All my life I have been baking. I learn from my nan who used to look after me during school holidays while my parents had to work. My mom is a nurse and my dad is a police officer. This means I was very close to my nan until she passed away. I then decided to go to university to complete a course in hospitality and catering, then I progressed to a certificate in baking. Then finally I managed to buy property to have my own bakery, named after my nan.
At the end of the day I often have left over cakes, pastries, bread and other sweet treats. So instead of throwing them away I may give them to the homeless or anyone else who may be in need of a pick me up. But I alway make sure that there are some left over for firehouse 51, which is where my boyfriend Kelly Severide works.

I walk into the firehouse holding a box of cupcakes and some fresh bread.  Immediately I'm being greeted by my boyfriend and some of the firemen
"Evenin YN" capp nods towards me
"Good evening boys" I kiss Kelly on the cheek then he guides me to the kitchen where everyone else is "hey everyone. I've got some left overs if any of you are interested" I open the box lid up
"This is why your the best girlfriend Severide has ever had" Otis' eyes widen as he walks over to me and goes to take a cake. Kelly gives him a nudge as if to say 'watch it'
"Ah ah ah not so fast at least let me put them down first"
"They look delicious YN"
"When don't they?" Sylvie responds to Gabby .

Later that evening Kelly takes me home
"You know I don't think I've ever had cake as good as you make it. My mom was never much of a baker"
"When I bake it reminds me of my Nan. It's like she's there with me. I want our kids to have a childhood like mine where we bake in the kitchen and then go outside and play in the mud while we wait for every thing to cool"
"Our kids?" Kelly says wrapping his arm around my waist
"Yes. Don't tell me you haven't thought bout it"
"Of course I have, but I just wasn't expecting it to come out of your mouth so casually" there's a bit of a pause as I think how to respond, but Kelly beats me to it "you say you want our kids to bake a lot. So do you think you could teach me how to?"
"Of course!" I say with a wide smile "I'm not at the shop tomorrow if you want to come over?"
"Can't wait. I'll see you tomorrow then" Kelly kisses my check then walks away as I open up my front door.

The next dayKelly shows up and we start weighing out ingredients
"Now you need to add the eggs" I tell him who picks them up and goes to crack them on the side of the bowl "wait actually crack them in here" I put a spare bowl in front of Kelly "just in case of egg shells"
"Do you not trust me?" Kelly raises his eyebrows at me
"Honestly no. Now come on. We need three eggs, chop chop"
"Your bossy when your in the kitchen" he chuckles
"You want to make a cake or not?" I place my hands on my hips
"Ok ok I get it" Kelly attempts to crack an egg but it ends up going everywhere
"Good job I put a separate bowl down wasn't it?" I smile at Finn "watch and learn my love" I take the eggs from Kelly and crack them in the bowl with ease "ok you can stir, but..." I'm not able to tell him to be careful because flour ends up all over the both of us "go slowly"
"Never heard you say that before" I give Kelly an annoyed look "oh come on YN. It's me, did you really think that teaching me to make a cake would be smooth sailing?"
"No I guess not" I begin to smile.

A few days later I arrive at the fire house with Kelly who proudly places a cake down on the kitchen table
"She's don't it again! There's more cakes and biscuits!" Gabby yells which causes everyone to run over and grab something. Matt bites into one and scrunches his face up, but then tries to hide it
"Hmm, you tried a new.. recipe?" Otis asks coughing during his sentence. I giggle and shake my head
"No these were made by Kelly"
"Oh thank god" Matt breathes out "thought you'd lost your touch. No offence Severide but these are horrible"
"Oh come on they're not that bad... are they?" Kelly looks at me
"Don't worry love your still learning. If you guys have some ingredients I'll make some biscuits now while I'm here" I offer to which everyone replies with a yes.
