Lights and Sirens

Into the Darkness

The light was only just coming through the blinds when Danny's eyes fluttered open. She casually rolled over and ran her hand softly over Kelly's waist. He took a deep breath as his eyes hesitantly opened.

"Morning!" He said looking into her eyes.

"Last night was one to remember!" She laughed. 

"Well what can i say? But we didn't do much talking last night."

"Yeah, we were kinda busy!"

"Danny."

"What?"

"Why are you here. You were a lawyer in DC. Why would you come to Chicago and be a paramedic?"

"Ok Kelly, i have something i need to confess." She rolled onto her back. "I was never a lawyer in DC."

"Shocker!"

She shot him a look. "I was a secretary to the District Attorney. I was only just able to pay for my ticket here. I always regretted leaving this place."

"Danny you lied to me."

"Kelly, i know i did but-"

"You left me when i needed you most!" Kelly's voice raised.

She climbed out of the bed and put on his shirt. She turned to face him. "I know, but look you turned out!" Her voice was shaking. "You're the Lieutenant of Squad 3. Your one of the most elite firefighters in the whole city!"

Kelly rolled out of bed. He was wearing an old pair of CFD track pants. He walked round and wrapped his arms loosely around her waist.

"You shouldn't have lied to me." He said calmly.

"I-i-i know but-"

His lips felt soft on hers. She leaned in but he pulled away.

"If we are going to make this something serious, we are gunna have to lay down some ground rules..."

Brett was sitting in the back of the town car as it pulled away from the traffic lights about three blocks from Molly's.

"I hope you like warm beds?" The voice said. It was a voice that you could never forget. It was a grouchy, husky, sexy voice but with an edge of danger in it. Brett was exited.

"That's not the type of thing you would say to a girl on the first date would you?" She giggled. She had had way too much to drink.

The man laughed. "Just you wait sexy."

"Mmmm" Brett moaned. The last thing she remembered before she passed out was the man laughing as he pulled up the screen.

"Four days without our son..." Matt said walking lazily into the kitchen and rested his head gently on Gabby's shoulder. She turned around and passed him a cup of coffee.

"You can't say that!" She said poking him.

"Come on Gabs. Tell me you just a little bit happy that he is out of our hair for a few days?"

"I'm not happy, more like ready for a well earned rest!" She laughed.

"That's basically the same thing!" Matt called following her into the living room.

She set her coffee down. "Look, i have been thinking a lot about our convocation the other night and i just can't get the line 'with everything i had' out of my head. That has to be the sweetest thing anyone has said to me before."
