"I know mama" We walked inside and got checked in for our flight. Once inside the airport we were able to hand the keys over for our rental car.

"We have like two hours," Michelle said as we walked through security. I let Michelle go first then Alex so that someone was always with her. We got to our gate after about half an hour and sat down

"I'm going to go get a coffee. Do you want one?" She asked and I nodded

"Please" I pulled out my computer after I had set Alex up with her movie. I started looking at other jobs just in case 51 didn't have any jobs. The thing is I had a lot of jobs I could apply for. Firefighter obviously, paramedic cause LA puts all their firefighters through paramedic training. Then the indecisive 18 year old applied for the police academy and completed that. Before I knew it I had been job searching for just over an hour and our plane was due to board soon so I packed everything away and got Alex packed away as well. We soon boarded the plane and I had paid extra so that we'd all sit together.

When we got seated I fastened Alex's seatbelt before putting my own on. The flight unfortunately felt longer than ever. There was a small child crying somewhere, a lot of turbulence and a man coughing on my head most of the flight. I have always hated flying but this just made that a lot worse.

We soon found that O'Hare airport went through all the checks we had to do before we went to pick up the rental car for Michelle. I had bought a car and had it delivered to my new house but Michelle hadn't got that far into her planning. We got into the rental car and I helped Alex in and Michelle started to drive.

"Mama, can we get something to eat?" Alex asked with a pout

"We can stop for McDonalds before going to see uncle Kelly?" I offered and she nodded

"Okay Mama" I smiled and looked at Michele

"Kelly is not going to be happy I'm not staying with him and Matt" I chuckled

"He'll understand" Michelle shrugged

"He better" I shrugged as Michelle focused on where she was driving

"So are you going to get changed then surprise them?" Michelle asked

"Yeah they're on shift today so it's perfect cause they'll both be at the same place at once" I smiled
"Are you coming with us or not?" I asked her

"I don't think so. Think I'll just drop you off then go surprise Hailey" She smiled and I nodded

"That's okay" I smiled

"You haven't been back in over a year" She reminded and I nodded

"I know apparently he has a girlfriend who works at 51 so her reaction to me hugging Kels will be amazing" I chuckled

"Yeah and you're just a taller version of Alex personality wise so you'll make it fun" She chuckled. Michelle soon parked outside my new apartment complex and I got out before getting Alex out

"You two go up. I'll bring your bags" Michelle had that look on her face. The don't even try to fight with me look. I nodded, taking Alex's hand and walked up to our new home. I unlocked the door and walked in. I had done a virtual tour and it was just how I remembered it to be.

"This place is nice" Michelle hummed and I nodded walking about. Michelle had left the door open so I went to close it.

"Jamie Severide?" I looked up and spotted an old friend I guess you could call him

"Jay Halstead" I hummed giving him a hug

"What are you doing here?" I asked him

"I live right there" He pointed to the door behind him
"Now what are you doing here?" He asked
