Stella's POV: everything has gone pretty good over the last couple hours of weeks with work and my relationship with kelly the only thing that has bugged me lately is when ever me and Kelly want to have sex at night we have to be quietly because Matt is asleep and he might hear us hopefully he decide to move out soon because I hate that we have to be quiet in our own place. I wake up before Kelly so I get up and head to the kitchen to make me and Kelly some coffee. When I walk out to the kitchen I see that Matt is already awake and is making coffee himself
S= your up early
MC= if I don't get to the coffee maker first you'll put that hazelnut stuff in
S= hey hazelnuts are a delicacy in some place
MC= actually I just need to get a jump on some paperwork at the firehouse
S= oh
MC= see you there
S= have fun ( Matt leaves and Kelly walks into the kitchen)
K= morning
S= hey you know how we had to keep quiet last night so we didn't wake up Casey
K= mm-mmm he left.
S= ( takes off her jacket and wraps her arms around his neck) time to wake up the rest of the building
( picks her and have their little fin before work)
Once we get done with our quickie we get dress and head to work. Luckily we get to work just into time for the morning meeting
CB= and let's get the tools and the equipment inspection started first thing. There's been too much dawdling in the morning and I'm tired of it And The apparatus floor is clean today let's actually put some effort in there it's just an every damn corner medics i'm talking to you too
SB= I'm sorry chief I'm just going how are the new checklist of supplies
CB= do you that after morning meeting understood
MC=everything all right Chief
CB= what's that supposed to mean
H= you seem a little on edge that's all
CB= Donna's got me the m some damm diet ( all groan)
CZ= we're all dead by shifted end
K= Donna wants you to lose weight
CB= do I look like I need to lose weight
S= of course not chief but that is what diets are for sometimes
CB= look my last check up my cholesterol number are high now I'm following something Donna found on the internet called a surplus diet
M= oh I read about that surplus of fiber not fat
CB= well a surplus of starvation is more like it
BG= this may be the week I handoff cooking duties
CR= not to me though
BG= yeah yeah it's your turn
CR= no
BG= yeah I'm ( Boden slams his paper down)
The bells go off calling truck 81, squad 3 and ambulance 61 to a car that crash into a railing and ended up in some water. We were able to pull the car out of the water and come to find out nobody was in the car so kelly wanted to jump into the freezing cold water to see if he can find any lone survivors but then Casey made a decision to tell him not to go into the water they kind got into the argue about it. Matt Told everyone to clean up the scene and head back to the firehouse. I hope this little disagreement doesn't last long or doesn't carry to being at home because this will be awkward at home with me and the guys. We get back to the firehouse and the tension is still there so I walk over to the girls to talk about it
SB= they'll never talk about what happen back there will they
S= no they'll let all that tension sit between them unresolved
EM= dudes
Right when I got done talking with the girls Lilly walks Into the firehouse and we all say hi to her and once she tells us that she needs to talk to Herman mouch brings her to Herman while I go and get some food of course when I walk into the kitchen I hear gallo and Ritter fighting it seems like I can't avoid the boys not getting along so I go and see what's up
BG= okay looks there's healthy and then there's this what do I do with it.
CR= I don't know
BG= okay well you got us into this mess so figure it out
CR= what I'm not the cook you are
S=What's going on here
BG= mr. suck up here offered to make chief Boden separate meals
CR= whoa what was I supposed to do he was standing here all cranky yelling about the stuff Donna dropped off
BG= I don't even know what these are
CR= they're flax seeds I told you
BG= see that , that doesn't help me at all
S= okay this is ridiculous we can't live under this tyranny I'll go talk to the chief when he gets back from the district meeting
CR= what are you sure that's such a good idea ( she leaves and waves at the boys)
An hour later the chief gets back to the firehouse o hope I can solve at least one problem today
S= chief I say this with all due respect
CB= that's debatable
S= it's just that this surplus diet seems to be making you a little short tempered which in turns create conflicts and stress in the house your health is very important to all of us but maybe there's a less severe approach to changing your diet ( turns his pull around) sir
CB= you call Donna tell her I've given up after less then a week because if I do it I'm a dead man
S= oh I don't think that's a good idea
CB= you're damn right it's now I am not a weak man I should be able to handle this
S= there is one thing that I can think of that might make this a little easier
I tell him my idea he likes it so go tell Ritter and Gallo
CR= oh are we still making a bowl of seeds and beans
S= no
CR= ha kidd you're a hero
S= you're making two bowls of seeds and beans
CR= what
S= well diets have a much higher success rate when you have a buddy so I offered......don't look at me like that listen I'm doing this for the team you should be thanking me
I walk away and wait until they make mine and chief bowls 10 minutes later they finish so I take out bowls to his office and we start eating
CB= you know you don't have to eat in here just because we're both on this ridiculous diet
S= actually I do cause The smell of bacon in the common room was killing me
CB= this is reminded me my deep water rescue training
S= how's that
CB= The tendency of a drowning victim to pull their rescuer down with them
S= stop I offered
CB= does it mean it was a good idea
S= she please it's nice to have your battery ones because you always have mine, and the oatmeal isn't that bad
CB= yes it is
We somehow eat our oatmeal and it was finally the end of shift, but me and the chief made a deal to stick to the diet for two weeks on and off shift. Right now I am at Molly's working when Matt comes In
MC= hey kidd you seen severide
S= oh what am I his secretary
MC= whoa
S= sorry it's this stupid diet I think my stomach it digesting itself you need kelly for something
MC= I just wanted to make sure he knew there was never any victims in the lake
S= I told him all about that what he didn't reach out to you
MC= not even a text
S= you men or so.., why can't you just confront each other directly when you're pissed off about something it's childish
MC= how long are you on this diet
S= two freaking weeks
MC= Okay
S= if I survive
I decide to let Matt know I have to talk to me so I pointed toward Brett and her birth mother about five minutes later play Casey brett and her brith mother are ready washing out of the bar because the mother was having some Pain I hope nothing is too wrong . The next day on shift I catch up with Emily to see what she heard about brett birth mom
EF= but brett sounded shaken up I was just glad everything turned out okay
S= The woman shows up out of nowhere husband acts like a jerk and Brett has her heart wide open the way she always does
EF= you're still on the surplus diet
S= yeah of course I can't bail on chief
EF= you think he stuck with it off shift he seemed ready to break to me
(See the chief walking by and goes over to him)
S= chief
CB= what!!
S= did you cheat on the diet of shift
CB= no did you
S= I told you I wouldn't
CB= well I wanted to but I stuck with it anyways because I knew that if I cheated I would have both you and Donna coming at me and that's not the kind of support that I'm looking form you
S= well that's too bad because if you're not quitting I'm not quitting ( Stella storms off)
CB=what are you looking at ( at Emily)
I walk away and try and find something but before I could we get called to a pizza shop of course we do just my luck at the scene
MC= kidd with me Mouch and gallo hold back until I see what we need
M= Captain I'll have a double pepperoni please
S= oh my god that smells incredible
We save the boss of the pizza place once we get him in the ambo I see that the worker walking out toward us with a stack full of pizzas in his hands
PW= here take these for the firehouse
S= what no we can't ( gallo push Stella to the side)
PW= please we got to get rid of them were shutting down while we all go to the hospital to check on Silvio
MC= thank you he's in good hands ( grabs the pizza and hands them to mouch)
M= thank you
When we all get in the firetruck I pedal to the metal and Drive as fast as possible back to the fire station so I can get rid of the smell of the pizza.
S= I need to inhale exhaust right now
MC= fasted I've ever seen you drive kidd
( out on the apparatus floor)
BG= oh that's one double cheese
M= dig in
S= if any of you go down for my heart attack I'm not resuscitating you
M= that was uncalled for
I run off to the chief office to tell him what just happened
S= chief you would not believe what I just ..,, ( see him hid something) are you eating something
CB= mmm- mmm ( shakes his head no)
S= Wallace Boden
CB= damn ( pulls out his meatball sub) Ritter says they're really high in fiber
S= chief I thought we were in this together ( pulls out another sub and hands it to her) now we're talking
We both decide to give up on this diet because it's making us both crazy and it's not good for the fire house. The car in the lake turns out to be a way for this dude to get this lady money and to make her feel bad. The next night after me and Kelly are fixing a good ass dinner for me him and Matt
K= so we got steaks, mashed potatoes
S= with extra butter
K= right and Broccoli
S= Broccoli florets breaded and deep fried
K= right
S= yeah ( they kiss and Matt walks In) oh
K= hey
S= your back in time for the trillion calories meal
MC= ah
S= yeah
K= so it was the guy
MC= oh it was the guy and his family of four
S= ouch ( hands him a beer)
MC= thanks
S= yeah
MC= I feel for Lisa you know she was just looking to connect with someone
S= i've been there it's not easy to find your people
K= nope
MC= so what can I do to aid and abet this dinner
S= uh chop the florets
MC= you got it
We all work together to get a delicious dinner done. As we are doing this dinner i realize that I am lucky I found my people with firehouse 51 like I got the man I love and 51 is my family I am so grateful to find my people here
Authors note: I laugh so hard at this diet that Stella and Boden was on they were so funny. Love that Stellaride try and make the best out of they private time without Matt there I think he needs to move out as soon as possible. I still however love the friendship between stellaride and Matt. also sorry I only written iy in Stella point off view there wasn't much going on with kelly this episode
