Kellys POV

It has been a month since the case In Ohio, a month since I filed a report on Seager, today was the final day of the court hearing. We find out today if Seager is found guilty on the charges I placed against her.  

we have both told our version of events that took place that night, Seager first, who completely lied through her teeth, long story short she of course turned it on me, and said I offered to buy her dinner, we both got tipsy and I couldn't keep my hands of her, she tried to make it out like she said no and I was the one that Raped her. 

unknown to Seager the evidence my attorney had, the medical results, CCTV of her putting something in my drink, and also the confession Stella caught on her phone. It seemed the jury was in my favour but I didn't want to get ahead of myself. 

I finish buttoning my shirt sleeves as I see Stella walk out of our room in a black dress and jacket and I smile at her, she has been nothing but supportive this past month, no matter the time day or night, she was there, a shoulder for me to cry on, somebody I could lean on. I couldn't have got through this without her.

she walks over to me as she places a hand on my face before Kissing me softly. 

"you ready to send this bitch down" I hear her say as she looks at me with her hand still on my face as I bring my hand up to hers and hold it

"more than ready" I bring her hand to my lips as I kiss her hand. I then grab my Blazer and put it on as I grab my keys . "Lets get this over with" I say as Stella takes my hand and we exit our apartment. 

...

we arrive at the court house and Stella has her arm linked with mine as he other hand strokes my arm. we begin to walk inside and head to the court room. 

I give Stella a kiss as she goes and sits with everyone from the firehouse in the spectators area, I on the other hand go down the front to sit with my attorney team. I sit waiting for a bit playing with my hands as Seager and her team comes in and I refuse to look at them as I look behind me at Stella who smiles at me to reassure me everything is going to be okay. 

Everyone rises as the judge comes in. until she tells us to take our seats. I sit down as I listen to the judge as she concludes all the evidence that has been pulled into the case. she turns to both my team and Seagers to ask if we have any last minute questions and evidence to support our sides and both respond with a "No your honour" she turns to the Jury.

"have you come to a verdict" she asks as A gentleman stand up "Yes your honour" he pauses before continuing 

"first of the charges placed upon Mr Kelly Severide from Miss Wendy Seager...We the jury, in the case of The City of Chicago find Kelly Severide" my heart starts to race as I close my eyes "Not Guilty of first Degree Rape" the room fills with breaths of relief as I feel a hand on my back from my lawyer as we keep looking at the Jury, we still dont know their verdict for Wendy, they could also find her not guilty so I am still on tender hooks

"on the charges against Miss Wendy Seager we findthe defendant..."  I close my eyes ones more as my legs begin to shake "...Guilty of the charge of Second Degree Rape of Mr Kelly Severide" a sudden wave of relief flows through my body as I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. 

"I hear by sentence Miss Wendy Seager to 5 years, at Illinois Federal prison Camp, Court adjourned" she says tapping her Gavel I put my face in my hands as I become overwhelmed with relief  before I stand up and shake the hands of my attorney. I watch as 2 police officers escort Seager out as she looks at me and grins, maliciously. 

I quickly turn away from her as I'm met by Stella running into my arms and wrapping her arms round me as I wrap my arms round her tightly and bury my head into her neck as I felt her turn her head to kiss my cheek "Im so proud of you" I hear her say as I feel everyone from the firehouse surround us as I begin to shake all their hands and thank them for being here. 

soon after everyone starts to leave, they made plans to meet at mollys to celebrate my win but If Im honest I just wanted to go home, however I agreed to go as it was the least I can do to thank them for having my back.

Me and stella head to my car but before I go round to my side Stella keeps a hold of my hand and pulls me to look at her "Hey, I really am proud of you, not just for today but for everything, everything that you've been through, and you still are here putting on that brave face" she says as she kisses me and I kiss her back as I put my hands on the side of her face "I couldn't have done any of it without you by my side" I say looking deep into her eyes as she smiles and I plant another kiss on her lips before wrapping my arms round her and hugging her tightly.

we separate as she opens her car door and climbs in before  I go round to my side and climb in, I immediately start to drive to Molly's to meet everyone else there. 

...

Stellas POV

We arrived at Molly's a while ago, Cindy has just arrived to drop Toby off with us as she was looking after him whilst we were at court today. I Take Toby from her.

"thank you for having him" I tell her as she smiles 

"Anytime, he was a dream, just watched TV and slept for the whole day" she said as she left to go see Herman, I looked around for Kelly, I soon spotted him coming out of the toilets as I headed over to him as his face lit up when he seen Toby

"Hello Monkey, did you have fun at auntie Cindy's" he says as Toby almost dives into Kelly's arms as he cuddles him, he smiles at me as we walk over to a table.

Kelly sits Toby on the table looking at him as he pulls funny faces to make him giggle. I watch them both as Toby grabs kellys face and gives himt he cutest baby kiss as my heart explodes 

"hey, why dont I get kisses" I say to Toby pretending to be upset as Kelly smiles "Hes a daddys boy...aren't you Toby" he says looking at toby as he giggles "yes you are, a Daddy's boy" he says to Toby in a baby voice as I shake my head and laugh. "your just jealous" Kelly says to me as I frown playfully 

"Mummy is jealous..."Kelly jokes as he turns Toby to face me as Toby starts to crawl across the table and kisses me 

"aww baby...I knew you loved me" I say picking him up and running away from Kelly as Kelly chases me "Hey, he loved me first..." I hear Kelly say as Toby kept giggling as I ran around with him until Kelly caught up and grabbed us "you cant get away from me that easy" I hear Kelly say as he wraps his arm round me, sandwiching Toby between us 

I look up at Kelly as he looks down at me both of us smiling like idiots, we look at each other for a few seconds his lips connect with mine, Toby sneezing between us breaking us apart as he giggles at how funny it was to sneeze

"you better not be getting a cold little man your birthday is in a couple of weeks, we cant have you getting poorly" I say as I look at the time "shall we head home soon" I say looking at kelly as he nods 

"yeah, we will grab a takeaway on the way home" he replies as he walks away. 

I hear him saying bye to everyone as I joined him. once we said our goodbyes to everyone we made our way home, not before stopping to pick up a Chinese takeaway. 

we spent the rest of the evening snuggled in each other's arms as we decided to allow Toby to sleep in our bed with us, he positioned himself int he middle of us, for a little person he certainly took up the most room.

as I lay there it soon hit me in 3 months we will have another 2 babies here with us and as much as I love Kelly's apartment it will not be big enough for our extending family. "hey kelly..." I rub my bump a little as I look at him to see him asleep cuddled up to Toby, I smile as I lean down and kiss them both, I will ask him tomorrow.
