Best Friend To The Very End

No Regrets

'How was school today Squirt?' Kelly asked as Hannah walked up to the firehouse
'School' Hannah replied as she shrugged her shoulders
'I thought mom was getting you from school?'
'She's running late, she said she'd get me from here'
'You excited about tomorrow?' Kelly asked
'Yeah, Hannah replied, slightly deflated
'What's wrong?' Kelly asked
'What if Cooper finds out?'
'What do you mean?'
'When he gets back from Detroit'
'Hannah he can't hurt you ever again. Your Mom and I and Erin will never let that happen'
'It can't stop him'
'I promise you, he won't hurt you ever again' He said hugging his daughter
'You promise?' She questioned
'Absolutely' He replied, 'Now let's go inside, I think Pouch misses you.'

'What are the different blood types?' Capp asked Hannah as she sat at the squad table
'A, B, AB and O' Hannah replied as she threw the ball for Pouch
'Correct, again' Capp replied
'Ask me another one, a bit harder this time'
'Alright then' Capp replied as he looked through the book
'Name the two circulation systems'
Hannah looked at him confused
'What, you highlighted it'
'Uhhhh Pulmonary and Systemic'
'Yep' Capp replied as he put the book back on the table 'Why did you need me to quiz you if you've got the whole thing already memorised'
Hannah shrugged her shoulders while Kelly laughed to himself
'How late did your mom say she would be?' Kelly asked
'She just said she had something to do and she'd be late'
Kelly looked at his watch. 6:24 pm
The alarm echoed throughout the firehouse
'Squad 3, Truck 81, Engine 51, Ambulance 61, Battalion 25'
'I'd say keep studying but I don't think you need to' Capp said as he walked towards the Squad truck
Hannah watched as all the trucks left the firehouse
'It's just you and me again Pouch' She said as Pouch sat in Kelly's chair
Hannah's phone began to ring. Mom.
'Hey Mom' Hannah said answering her phone

'Was wondering where you two were hiding' Kelly said as he walked up to Katherine and Hannah sitting on the bench out the front of the firehouse
'You hungry?' Hannah asked as she handed her dad a burger
'Thanks' He said sitting next to her
'Sorry I was late' Katherine explained 'but my appointment went a bit later than expected'
'What appointment?' Hannah asked
'I know we've decided to buy a house together' Katherine explained to Kelly 'But I've decided to finally become a Lawyer'
'Wow' Severide said, shocked
'I just feel that now's the right time and it's all OK I had a job interview at the State's Attorney Office as a paralegal to become a lawyer'
'Mom that's great' Hannah said hugging her mom
'Kelly?' Katherine questioned 'Are you OK with it?'
'Yeah' He replied 'I'm not gonna stop you pursuing your dreams and don't worry about the house, we'll make it work'
'Uncle Matt said you can stay at his tonight too' Hannah explained to Katherine
'I was kinda hoping I had somewhere to stay tonight, wasn't looking forward to sleeping in the empty house'
'Don't worry if you had to it's in a lot better condition than it was at first' Hannah explained
'That's promising' Katherine replied
'Yeah Matt and I have done a lot of work on it lately' Kelly teased
'Hey I have too' Hannah replied 'I'm just slightly disabled at the moment'
'Sure' Kelly laughed
'Hey Will told me no strenuous work for 6 weeks' Hannah explained
'Doesn't mean you could sit on your phone while we fixed the walls'
'I wasn't sitting on my phone the whole time' Hannah replied
'Did Uncle Matt take it off you?' Katherine questioned
'Maybe' Hannah said quietly 'But I was gonna help out when they weren't lifting things'
'We'll let you off this time' Said Kelly 'But you have to help tomorrow, we don't have much time to move the stuff out'
'It's gonna be fine, most of our stuff is still in boxes'
'What about your stuff at Matt's?' Kelly asked
'Dad I've been living on a couch for the last fortnight, I don't have much there that won't fit into my school bag'
'I think it's time we head home for some sleep' Katherine said to Hannah
'Now?' Hannah questioned
'I'm tired and we've got a big day tomorrow'
'Ok'
'Hey, one more sleep and we'll be in our own house' Kelly reminded Hannah
'Yeah, that's if I can sleep'
'You better' Kelly replied
The firehouse sirens rang out throughout the house
