Support Each Other(A Chicago Fire fanfic)

Phantom Pains

As Severide, Cruz, and I were cracking the driver's side door on one car with the jaws of life and Hermann, Otis, and Casey worked on the other car, I felt a stabbing pain in my thigh and ignored it. It got worse as we got the victims out and away from the car. Boden and Mouch put the fire out on each car. Sweat poured down my face as the pain went from a one to a twelve. I had to sit on the back of the truck and gripped the handle closest to me. "Are you alright?" Severide asked. "Ask Jimmy and Gabby if they have any morphine. I'm having phantom pains in my leg." I told him, trying not to pass out from the pain. "Chief! We have a problem!" Severide yelled, then told me, "Chief is going to stay here with you while I get the morphine." "What's the matter?" Boden asked. "Phantom pains." I replied. He waited with me. Jimmy, Gabby, and Severide came back with a morphine drip and Gabby hooked me up. Jimmy knelt in front of me. Boden, Gabby, and Severide stepped away. "Why is this so hard?" I asked Jimmy, even though I know that he didn't know the answer, though he has lost an eye, he's never lost a limb. He knew too. He got up and sat next to me. He hugged me and said, "You are the bravest woman I have ever met, besides my mother," We both laughed, "you have given birth to four children. You have been injured in so many fires and accidents. Yet, despite having one leg, you're still standing strong." I looked at him with tears in my eyes, smiled and said, "Do you know how much I love you?" He grinned and kissed me on my forehead and lips. I looked at the bag, it was empty. Jimmy helped me off of the truck and walked me to the ambulance to get me unhooked. After that, we headed back to the station. I went straight to my bunk after I took my suit and gear off. As soon as I sat on the edge of my bunk, I took off my prosthetic leg and fell asleep.

I woke up two hours later to find Gabby  and Matt standing beside my bed. "Hey guys." I laughed. "Hey, want to go to Molly's with us? I brought a dress for you...and I can fix your hair and do your makeup." Gabby said. "Sure." I replied. Gabby helped me get ready while Matt and Jimmy, who was also ready for the bar, waited. I wore my hair in a dressy bun, a blue cocktail dress, and blue kitten heels. Surprisingly, I could walk in them! After we were ready, we headed to Molly's. I had a non alcoholic piña colada and a turkey flatbread sandwich while there. All of a sudden, I got a call from Mrs. Hermann...Sylvia had a panic attack and passed out and were on their way with her older child, the twins and baby Kelly to the hospital. I grabbed Jimmy and told him what had happened. We waved goodbye to everyone and rushed to the car and to the hospital.
