Casey! Dawson! Brett! Anyone call out?! panicked Kelly.

Kelly could barely stand as he was covered head to toe in ashes amd soot. His head was pounding and his whole body hurt,especially his shoulder.

People started to slowly move as Kelly stood up. He looked around, about ready to collapse to see Gabby thrown up against the ambulance, bleeding, and Matt nowhere in sight.

Kelly woke up in a cold sweat. He'd been having flashbacks of the accident every once and a while since it happened.

"Baby are you okay?" moaned Corin.

"Yeah I'm good"

"You have another flashback?"

"I'm fine. We have to get up and get ready for work"

"Ok. I'll make sure the kids are up"

Kelly got up and headed downstairs. Whenever he had flashbacks he would close off to Corin about them. Skylar was in the bathroom with Alex and Cass banging on the door.

"Skylar! I have to pee!" cried Alex.

"And I need my hairbrush out of there" banged Cass.

Kristen opened her bedroom door a peeled her head out.

"Hey! Some of us don't have to get up for another 15 minutes! Let me sleep!" yelled Kristen as she slammed her door.

"Relax! I'm almost done!" shouted Skylar.

Corin shook her head and smiled. This was only a small look into their crazy family.

"There are you two happy now" said Skylar with a smug look as she stepped out of the bathroom.

"Finally!" cheered Alex as he ran in to pee.

Cass rolled her eyes and headed downstairs. Corin ushered the teens out of he house and to the bus stop.

"Bye! Love you!" yelled Corin.

She shut the door and exhaled. She poured her coffee and smiled at Kelly.

"So babe. What are we doing tonight?"

"I was thinking maybe we go out, get dinner, celebrate back to school, and get away from the kids" smirked Kelly.

Corin loved seeing that look of love and passion in Kelly's eyes. It wasn't only pure lust, it was pure love. She smiled back at him as he pulled her close. Their mouths only millimeters away from each other.

"That sounds perfect"

They started to kiss and make out when Kristen came downstairs.

"Ugh! Get a room!" complained Kristen.

"You better watch it little girl" said Kelly.

"You ready to go?" asked Corin.

"Yeah. I take it your dropping me off at school today?"

"Yes, I am. Let's go before I'm late to work"

Corin gave Kelly a kiss and then he packed up his bag. Corin hustled Kristen out the door and jokingly smacked her on the butt in the way out. Kelly laughed and smiled and Corin gave him a smile. I loved seeing his wife so happy. His wife, kids, and fire family was all he'd ever need.
At the district Corin walked into the bullpen. She hugged Jay and sat down next to him.

"Hey little sister"

"Hey big brother"

Jay could tell something was bothering Corin.
