The Fire Girl: A One Chicago Fanfiction

This could not be happening. Things were still kind of awkward between Ruzek, Halstead, and I, but we basically all agreed to pretend it never happened. Well now that plan was going to have to change because I'm pregnant. I immediately booked an appointment with Natalie for an ultrasound too confirm it was true.

As I drove to Med I couldn't believe I had let myself get to this point. My life was great until I saw an entire family burned alive about 2 and a half months ago. That's when the drinking and the extreme sleeping around started. Not that I'm proud of it, but Kelly and I always had an on again-off again 'friends with benefits' type situation, but he was really the only guy I was sleeping with before this mess beside a few fandoms here and there. I let the job get to me and now I was paying the consequences. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a baby, but I didn't want it to happen this way, with me not knowing the father.

Natalie was one of my good friends and she had seen the hole I was digging for myself. So when I walked into the exam room, she sort of gave me the 'I told you so' look. She began the ultrasound, neither of us saying anything besides her narrating what she was doing.

"Well Corin, it likes like you're about 8 or 9 weeks along. Congratulations!"

"Yeah uh thanks. Can I get two photos?"

"Of course".

Natalie could tell I was completely in a daze. She handed me the photos and I felt tears well up in my eyes. There was a little baby growing in my belly.

"Everything is going to be okay. You call me if you need anything".

"Thanks Nat".

With that I headed to the firehouse for shift. I walked in, dressed for work with my duffel bag over my shoulder. I headed straight to the locker room and shoved the bag in my locker. Then I used my magnet to pin the ultrasound photo to the inside of the locker. I smiled before closing it and heading into the office area. I got a year round calendar from Connie for heading into the conference room. I was trying to figure out approximately when the conception date would be so I could help narrow down who the father would be. The door opened, causing me to jump.

"Sorry" chuckled Gabby as she checked out what I was doing, "What are you doing?"

"If I tell you, you have to promise you won't tell anyone. Not even Casey".

"I promise. What's up?"

"I'm pregnant".

"Oh my god! Congrats! Wait who's the father?"

I sighed and dropped my head into my hands yet again. Gabby figured out the answer to her own question by my body language.

"What am I going to do Gabby?"

"Well what are you trying to do with this calendar?"

"I'm trying to figure out the conception date to help determine the father".

"Alright well, who are the candidates?"

"It's gotta be either Ruzek, Kelly, or Halstead as in Jay".

"Damn. You got around" she teased as I playfully smacked her.

"I was going through a dark time okay? You should get that".

"I do. And that's why I'm going to help you".

It took twenty minutes but eventually we figure out the paternity chances.

"Okay so there's a 37% chance it's Halstead's, a 58% chance it's Ruzek's and about 5% chance it's Kelly's" informed Gabby.

"So really it comes down to Jay or Adam".
