"It Wasn't Kelly"

Start from the beginning
                                    

The keg that fell to the ground opened and beer started to rain on Otis.

Otis "come on"

Casey "keep pulling"

We pulled. 

Casey "enough"

Then he helped Pants take his arm out. 


At the Firehouse. 

Hermann and Otis put up a PingPong table in the meeting room. 

Stupid idea. 

I walked over to Kelly "Hey, did you already donate your bone marrow?"

Kelly "no, i wish"

Me "it's pretty cool what you're doing."

Kelly "It's not biggie"

Me "are you nervous?"

Kelly shook his head "no"

Me "Kelly, it's supposed to be more than just painful"

Kelly "Anesthesia"

I nodded "yeah, but 65% of donors report back pain afterwards. So something goes wrong, bone or nerve damage, you could be off the job for a while"

Kelly "and you know this how?"

me "i googled it"

Kelly smirked "aw, Flori,..."

Me"what?"

Kelly "you care"

I nodded "of course i do."

Suddenly i heard pang. Mouch flew against the window of the PingPong room and fell to the ground taking the curtains down with him. 

My jaw dropped. 

--

I walked down the corridor and my jaw dropped. 

Otis, Mouch and Stella were picking up broken glass. Somehow they had mananaged the break the glass doors.

Me "what the hell?"

Kelly walked over to me "Hey"

I smiled "hey"

He put a hand around my stomach to shove me to the side a little. 

I asked confused "what wrong?"

Kelly "i hope you don't mind ,but Casey's really busy. I put your name down as my emergency contact for the procedure."

I nodded "It's okay"

Kelly looked at me surprised "really?"

I looked at him confused and amused "you think i wouldn't be okay with that? Kelly, we've been together for nearly a year now. i'm okay with it"


At Molly's night. 

Kelly and i walked in and ran into Erin. 

I smiled "Erin, hey"

She smiled "Flo, Kelly, hi"

Kelly "hey, it's been a while"

Erin "hey, man, um, Stella just told me what you're doing. That's really great."

Kelly "yeah, uh, Stella's got a big mouth"

Erin smiled "it's great"

Me "Where's Jay?"

Kelly put an arm around my shoulders.
