Stella and Kelly are fighting. They were fighting about a call that went sideways instead of waiting for hazmat Stella ran into a classroom to help a little guy that was left behind. The chemicals in were not toxic but Kelly was upset that she didn't wait to find out before going in. That was 2 days ago. As always they let the issue simmer until it blows up or they get confronted about their issues.
Stella was with some girls from her girls on fire program. She was doing anything to avoid Kelly because he was doing an to avoid her. Kelly is upset with Stella because she put her health at risk and Stella Is upset at him for being mad when he would have done the same thing.
Stella was talking to one of the girls her name was Riley. "You rarely come out with us." She said to Stella. "I just needed to clear my head." Stella said. "You know when my boyfriend and I fight. We try to remember the things we love about each other and be thankful that we survived what ever we have been through." Riley said before she got up. "Speaking of, his train gets here in 20 minutes. I need to go to the station." She said and left. Stella sat there and thought about her words.
It was around 10:00 when Kelly got home. Stella was sitting on the couch with a beer in her hand. "Hi" She said and stood up. "Hi" He said closing the door and taking his Jacket off. "Can we talk?" She asked as she sat back down on the couch. He paused for a second and nodded his head yes.
He sat on the couch and Stella turned towards him.
"One of the things I love about you are your eyes." She said and gave him a small smile. He was confused. "I love when you say " You got this Stella Kidd". It makes me feel loved and empowered." "I love seeing you at the firehouse and I love carpooling with you" She said. "Stella what are you doing?" Kelly asked in confusion. "Do you remember when you asked me to marry you?" She said. "Yes" He said. "I remember how crazy I thought you were to propose in the middle of a fire but I realized that I would never want to change our story even the bad parts." She said. "Where is this coming from?" He asked. "It is coming from my heart. Things I should have told you a while ago." She said. "I hate when we fight." she said. "I hate it too." He said and grabbed her hand. "I just wanted to try something new." I can't promise that I won't put myself in danger, but I will try not to make it a habit." She said.
She smiles at him and he smiles back. "I guess I can handle that. "Can I have a kiss now?" She asked.
He smiled and kissed her. After a few kisses they pulled apart. "I love you." She said. "I love you too".
