I waddled back into the bedroom and got changed into my dark blue long dress on when Jay walked in already in his suit "Let me help you with that" Jay pulled the zipper up on my dress and helped me put my shoes on. "And your ring" He handed me my engagement ring and I put it on. I waddled downstairs and Sylvie and Casey were standing there. I walked over to Sylvie and hugged her then over to Jay who handed me my phone "Let's get going then" I waddled to the car and got in.
Jay opened the car door and helped me out. He put his arm out and I took it "I haven't been to one of these in ages" I laughed as we walked up the stairs. We walked in and looked around to see if we knew anyone then the person who organises these things walked up to us "Katrina Hart?" "Yes" "Hi I know this is short notice but would you mind doing a speech tonight we had been trying to get in contact with you but unfortunately we couldn't" "I would happily do a speech but could I ask what it is about?" "We would like it to be one from when your dad died to now if you don't mind" "After what this charity did for our family I would not" Someone started talking so we all gathered around "If you could all find your seats please" Jay and I looked on the board to see where we were sitting. We were sitting with Dani, Kelly, Cruz and Chloe. We walked over and sat down. "Thank you all for coming. Firefighters, paramedics and other first responders we want to thank you and your families for helping Chicago and making it a better place day by day. I want to get into the first speech as soon as possible. So this person lost their dad when they were quite young and they moved away and ended up back in Chicago. Now please be kind because we only asked her tonight to come up and make a speech" Severide looked at me "Can you please give a warm welcome to Katrina Hart" I stood up and started walking to the stage. I walked up on stage and saw Jay with a smile on his face. "Thank you so much for coming tonight. A lot of you won't know me but you will know my dad. My dad was Captain James Hart working on Truck 81. My dad died in the line of duty the day after my 17th birthday. This was 9 years ago in March and I miss him every day. I could feel tears in my eyes "After my dad died my mom couldn't look after me and my sister so we moved to Indianapolis even though my dads family was in Chicago. I finished school in Indianapolis and then decided to come live with my Aunt here in Chicago and go to the academy. I finished the academy 2 marks under Lieutenant Kelly Severide. Yeah, 2 marks if I could go back I would get those 2 marks and beat him" Everyone started laughing "After I finished the academy I moved on to Truck 8. I then decided I couldn't be a firefighter because I missed my dad too much so I moved back to Indianapolis 3 months before my mom died. I wanted to be a paramedic because if there were more paramedics and we knew my sister killed my mom she would be alive just now." Tears were falling down my face and I saw Jay get up and walk over to the stage. "So I stayed in Indianapolis and went to medical school then became a firefighter. I missed Chicago and I saw firehouse 51 was looking for a new PIC and I new Chief Boden so I went for the job and I'm glad I did go for it. I got the job at firehouse 51 so I packed all my stuff and moved back to Chicago for the third time" I wiped the tears away "I am so happy I did move back to Chicago again because if I didn't I wouldn't have met my amazing fiance and I wouldn't be pregnant with this not so little man. This charity did so much for my family after my dad died and I know if any of you were to die and not that you will or should die but if you did this charity would be there to help your family and friends. I still want to go back and get they 2 marks. Thank you all for listening to my life story basically and I want to say thank you for helping Chicago and I mean it" I smiled and walked off stage to Jay who was standing at the bottom of the steps. He kissed my cheek as we walked back to the table. "Thank you, Katrina, so we want to leave the speeches just now and get on to eating some food or dancing" I laughed. Then the lights dimmed and I Will Follow You "Katrina Hart can I have this dance?" I stood up and took Jay's hand. We were dancing to the song "Kat I didn't know all that about you" "Not many people do I prefer not to say it out loud" I smiled and placed my head on his chest "How about we tell Sylvie, Casey, Dani and Severide were going and get out of here" "Let's stay for the meal and the boot first" He nodded and we continued to dance. When the song was finished we walked back to the table and sat down. Dani walked back over and sat down "We are staying for the boot and meal then we are out of here" "So are we I am only staying for those because I did a speech" "Don't blame you" we started laughing when they came out with the plates of food. "I saw steak there" I laughed "of course you did" Kelly came over and sat down "There is steak" I laughed "Men these days" We got our food and ate it "Jay do you want the rest?" "Yeah, I'll take it" After everyone was finished they started handing some boots around so they could raise money for the charity. Dani and Kelly stood up "We are going now" I looked at Jay "We are going to go as well" I stood up and we walked out. "Fresh air" I took a deep breath "I can't wait to have a beer or a glass of wine" Jay laughed "Don't be laughing next time I get pregnant you are not drinking" Severide started laughing "Promises" "Yeah it is a promise" I got into the car and we drove home.
When we got home Jay opened my door and helped me into the house. I waddled up the stairs and went into the bathroom. I took my hair out and washed my face then brushed my teeth. I took my earrings out and waddled into the bedroom where Jay was standing "Need help?" I nodded and he took my necklace off and handed it to me then he unzipped my dress for me. "Thank you" I took my dress off and got changed into some pyjamas and then got into bed. I placed my head on Jay's chest "If you need to talk I'm here" "I know I just don't like to talk about that kind of stuff" I fell asleep thinking about how messed up my family is.
