Lights and Sirens

A Bright Spark

"Jamie!" Gabby exclaimed as she began to walk over towards Jamie who was collapsing in laughter as Kelly threw him up in the air and caught him again. "Hunny, you seem like you're having fun!"

"Mummy! Uncle Kelly said that if you got a call then I would be allowed to ride in the Squad truck!" He exclaimed as Kelly placed him gently onto the floor in front of her.

"Oh, he did, did he?" She sounded a little suspicious. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared in Severide's direction.

"Jamie! Come over here and give your papa Herrmann a big hug!" Herrmann called from over the other side of the floor. He knew that Gabby needed to talk to Kelly and he was good at looking after kids.

Jamie ran happily over to him as he crouched down so that he was closer to Jamie's height. Jamie wrapped his arms around his neck and Herrmann stood up easily and began to talk to Cruz, who had just walked up to them and lovingly ruffled the little boy's hair.

"I guess you need to talk to me." Severide started. He turned round and saw that she was staring at something. He followed her gaze and she was looking at Casey. He was talking casually with Herrmann, Cruz and Jamie and he looked happy, happier than he had in a while. "Gabby!" Severide said firmly as he clicked his fingers in front of her face.

"What? What?!" She answered, a little embarrassed.

"Why don't you tell him?" Kelly asked casually.

"Tell who what?" she replied trying to dodge the question.

"You know perfectly well what I am talking about little lady..." Kelly replied with a sly smile.

"What? Me and Casey? You thought that I came here to ask you about that?" She said through a nervous laugh still not making eye contact with him.

"You're back together?" He said, probably louder than he should have done.

"Shhhh!" She hissed. "I don't think that Mid-town heard you?"

"Look, I'm sorry! I honestly thought that you were back together!"

"No, I came to ask you where Brett and Jago where." Gabby asked.

"Brett? No I haven't seen either of them... Do you think?..." Kelly started.

"Kelly!" She hissed, hitting him playfully.

"No, but seriously Gabby..." He started.

"Kelly, stop your worrying. Brett probably hasn't even met him yet. Don't forget she has been off for eight weeks..."

Brett was sitting in her bunk in the dormitory clutching her stomach. 'Why do I have to be pregnant? The father is some 'Waco' and I am single, how am I going to raze this baby by myself?' she thought to herself. She had been feeling ill all day but she couldn't hide it from the guys any longer. She came to her bed because she new that she wouldn't be disturbed. Jago walked casually into the dormitory whistling a happy tune when he saw her. He began to walk towards her just as she looked up and smiled.

"Have I met you before?" She asked. Her voice was light but Robert could hear that something was wrong.

"Robert Jago" He held put his hand and she shook it. "I'm the new candidate on Truck 81. May i?" He pointed to the end of the bed.

"Sure." She replied gesturing for him to take a seat.

"Sooo, and you are?"

She could tell that he was beginning to flirt with him. She kinda liked the attention. "Sylvie Brett. Ambulance 61" she replied.
