Gut-wrenching
Robert and Andy are still together(married) at the firefighter's ball. Vic and Theo don't break up.
Andy and Vic were walking into the dining hall when Theo came and pulled her away. Andy looked around trying to find her husband and smiled when she did. She began walking towards him and he smiled when he noticed her coming.
"Hey, Andy," Robert said while wrapping an arm around Andy's waist and pulling her in for a kiss.
Andy smiled into the kiss and wrapped her arms around her husband then pulled away and smiled up at him. "Listen, I've got to go find Ross but save me a seat at the table, okay?"
Robert nodded, kissed Andy's forehead and then the couple went their separate ways.
Andy walked around, trying to find where Ross was and finally found her where the items were being auctioned in the ballroom.
"Ross," Andy called, walking up to her.
"Herrera." Ross turned around. "I need to talk to you about something?"
"Did I do something?" Andy asked, heartbeat increasing.
"No. No. it's not like that." Ross chuckled. "I know you and Theo are waiting to see who will become permanent captain of 19."
"Yeah, I figured you would take your time to decide. I know we've been acting like children. I was just hoping I'd get to show you what I'm capable of now that I got my head out of my ass." Andy told her. "I want to be the best captain I can be, and I know competing with him like it's something to be won isn't helping anything."
"Herrera, I've seen what you can do," Ross told her. "I know you're more than worthy of becoming captain which is why Because of your undeniable hard work and your dedication to this house, you are officially the new captain of Station 19."
Andy didn't know what to say. She was speechless.
Ross smiled. "Congratulations, captain," Ross said, rested a hand on Andy's shoulder and then walked away.
Andy was stuck on the spot when she saw Vic coming towards her. "Andy, what are you doing out here? No. Hang on." Andy told Vic as she saw Robert looking at her while Vic was squealing "Don't move, don't move." Andy told Vic. Not wanting Robert to get suspicious.
Vic gasped. "Oh, my God. You gotta tell..." Vic could see Andy was still worried about Robert looking at them while Vic and she were holding each others' arms, keeping close. Andy squealed once Robert was gone, wanting to tell Robert when she told everyone else. "Oh, he's fine. Okay, we have to tell the table, right?"
"Well, no, I think Chief Ross will do, like, a formal announcement." Andy tried to play off that she could wait for everyone to know when she really wanted to tell everyone now.
"Oh, stop, stop, stop." Vic waved her hands, stopping Andy. "Do you want to be a - a wimpy, let-other-people-do-things kind of captain, or are you gonna be a kick-ass take-names kind of captain?" Vic asked, making a face while still being serious and Andy copied.
"Kick-ass-take-names." Andy said and they began to walk to the table, Vic all giddy.
"You want to take some names?" Vic asked again.
"Yeah," Andy said, following Vic.
"Let's go."
"Alright"
"Come on." And they rushed to the table. Vic acting like a hyper child and Andy couldn't help but smile, thankful that Vic was in her life. When they got closer to the table, they heard Maddox talking about how Theo may be becoming captain and Andy's smile got smaller while Vic was still bouncing in joy. "Guys. Guys, guys, guys. Guess who our new captain is?"
