If you ever find yourself stuck in the middle of the sea,

I'll sail the world to find you

If you ever find yourself lost in the dark and you can't see,

I'll be the light to guide you

Find out what we're made of

When we are called to help our friends in need

You can count on me like one two three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two

You'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Brett climbed out of the bed and sighed. "Ughh, I'm so huge." Grumbled Brett as she put her hands on her big nine-month baby belly.

Brett was so happy to be pregnant. She and Casey had been trying since they got married almost two years ago. Casey was ecstatic when she told him she was pregnant, he practically threw her up in the air.

"It's snowing!" Happily whispered Brett as she walked to the window and looked outside. It felt weird to not be on shift with everyone else, but due to her condition, Boden made her take her maternity leave a couple of weeks early.

Brett was so tired of being holed up in the house, she decided she would go visit everyone at the firehouse today while they were on shift.

"Oh," Said Brett as she paused from a slight twinge of back pain. "Probably just braxton hicks," Whispered Brett as she made her way to the shower to start getting ready.

"Brett, what are you doing here?" Called Herman as Brett stepped into the apparatus floor.

Brett waddled up to greet everyone, "Hi, everybody. I thought I would stop by for a quick visit."

"Brett! " Gasped Foster, "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be resting and cooking that baby so that I can get my partner back."

Brett laughed, "I know, I know I just felt like I haven't seen everyone in forever."

"Yeah, well we sure missed you." Sweetly replied Cruz as he gave Brett a big hug.

"I missed you guys too! Where is everybody else? I haven't been tackled by Kidd yet." Said Brett making everyone laugh including Chief Boden who walked out after hearing all the commotion.

"Brett, I thought I said that I didn't want to see you until after our new addition has arrived." Commented Boden as he made his way over to Brett to give her a quick side hug.

"I know, I just wanted to have a quick visit with everyone. "

Right as Boden was about to reply, engine eighty-one pulled back into the garage.

Casey was so happy to see Brett, he ran right up to her and gave her a kiss.

"Hey, babe what are you doing here? Is everything okay?" Asked Casey as he wrapped his arms around Brett and their unborn baby.

Brett smiled, "Babe, I'm fine. I was just tired of being cooped up in the house all day."

Everyone at fifty-one was overjoyed to have Brett back in the house, even if it was only for a couple of hours.

"Hey, Casey how were the roads when you all came back?" Asked Severide as he, Kidd, Casey, and Brett sat at the kitchen table while everyone else was busy doing chores and making lunch.

Casey looked up at Severide while he placed his hand on Brett's round belly, "They're starting to get pretty bad. I actually can't believe you drove her all by yourself." Replied Casey as he said the last part to Brett.

Brett sat in her seat looking guilty, "Hey, in my defense, they weren't bad when I left this morning."

"Well, Missy we'll be driving you when you're ready to go home." Said Kidd as she took a drink of Severide's coffee.

Brett was laughing with everyone until she felt a sharp pain run across her abdomen that caused her to gasp out loud.

"Brett? What's wrong?" Worriedly asked Casey as he saw her scrunch her eyes in pain.

Brett was now trying to gasp for breath as the pain continued, "I don't know."

"Come one we're going to the hospital!" Yelled Casey as he grabbed Brett's arm and tried to help her up.

Everyone in the house was now surrounding them with the same worry Casey had etched upon their faces.

Brett stopped moving and looked up at Casey, "Umm...my water just broke."

This caused the house to erupt in chaos; everyone was running around trying to help Brett and Casey.

"What about the roads? How are we going to get to the hospital?" Nervously asked Brett as she felt another contraction about to start.

"Brett, Casey come on. We'll get you in the ambulance and try to radio med." Yelled Foster as she came and helped Brett climb into the back of the ambulance.

Brett and Casey would never forget this day because on this day their beautiful daughter, Gemma Marie Casey, was born in the back of ambulance sixty-one at the firehouse where her parents fell in love.

You'll always have my shoulder when you cry

I'll never let go

Never say goodbye

You know you can

Count on me like one two three

I'll be there

And I know when I need it I can count on you like four three two

And you'll be there

'Cause that's what friends are supposed to do, oh yeah

Oh, oh

You can count on me 'cause I can count on you
