ok they’ve been filming episode 21 this week and michael, christian, daniel, and david were seen on set (going based off the fan pictures). and if episode 20 is called “up and walking”, it sounds like the injured firefighter is still recovering. so i kind of don’t see that firefighter working in episode 21 either. meaning we can cross out damon, mouch, ritter, and herrmann from the list of potential injured firefighters.
taylor was filming at the firehouse for episode 19 so it can’t be kelly either. and i doubt capp or tony gets hurt. so those three are also out.
which narrows the list down to carver, stella, and cruz.
other theory is that the episode titles don’t have anything to do with the injured firefighter and that they’re already back by episode 20/21
Summary: Sylvie gets a surprise Valentine's Day Proposal.
Notes: Here is a little something for Valentine's Day, and as I re-watch the show, I realize there is a severe lack of on-screen interaction between Kelly and his godson Kenny.
Also, I don't own any of the characters; I'm playing in someone else's sandbox.
Masterlist
The members of firehouse 51 slowly shuffle into the common room. It has been a long shift of back-to-back calls for Truck, Engine, Squad, and Ambo. It seems that with Covid, everyone was trying grand gestures at home this Valentine's Day, keeping the crews busier than usual. Sylvie runs into the back of Gallo, who stops abruptly in front of her. Looking up, she realizes everyone has stopped. Pushing her way through the crowd, she stopped in the middle of the long table was a large crystal vase filled with orange gerbera daisies, white calla lilies, mango calla lilies, and purple calla lilies.
Being closest to the table, Herrmann reaches over and pulls out the small envelope hidden inside the bouquet. The name “Sylvie” was written on the front of the envelope in beautiful calligraphy.
“Hey, Brett, it's addressed to you,” Herrmann yells into the crowd.
Sylvie continues to move forward. She snatches the envelope from Herrmann and turns to walk away. She is blocked by a wall of firefighters with giant grins on their faces. “Who sent you flowers, Brett?” Capp asked, a massive grin on his.
“I don’t know; I haven’t read the card, Capp,” she answers, trying to sidestep him, but again he blocks her path.
“Common Brett,” Capp cajoles.
“Nope,” Sylvie says again. But before she can walk away, Capp reaches forward and snatches the envelope out of her hand. He raises his arm high so that Sylvie can’t grab it back. “That’s mine,” she quacks with indignation.
The other firefighters laugh and step back, not wanting to get in Sylvie’s way. Capp quickly takes the card out of the envelope while moving backward, away from Sylvie. When the card is out of the envelope, he stops and reads the card. “What the hell kind of gibberish is this?” Capp exclaims.
While Capp is distracted, Sylvie sneaks closer and snatches the card out of his hands. She quickly reads it, and a giant smile crosses her face. “It’s not gibberish, Capp. You’re just not meant to know what it says.” She sasses him. Turning on her heel, she all but skips into the kitchen.
“So who’s the mystery man?” Herrmann asks from his seat on the couch next to Mouch.
Sylvie shakes her head from side to side, smirking.
“Well, what did the card say?” Mouch asks.
Sylvie taps the card against her lips before answering. It says,” Is tú mo ghrá.”
Everyone looks at her confused, though Matt can be heard mumbling, “I’ve heard that phrase before.”
Stella sidles up next to Sylvie, “since when are you seeing anyone, girlie? Have you been holding out on me?”
Sylvie shrugs her shoulders, “Maybe….”
Stella’s jaw drops; she turns and grasps Sylvie’s shoulders, “How long?”
“How long what, Stella?” Sylvie asks, playing innocent.
“Seriously…How long have you been seeing this guy?”
“Umm, a little over a year.” She mumbles.
“What!” Stella exclaims in shock. “How the hell have you kept this from me for a year?”
“Very carefully,” Sylvie says cautiously, eyeing her best friend. “Not to mention, we’ve been planning your wedding to Rick.”
“You sneaky little bitch,” Stella gripes teasingly.
Just then, the double doors outside of the common room burst open, and a little boy runs in, holding a stuffed bear in his hands. He yells, “Hi, Dad,” as he runs past the couch to the kitchen. He stops next to Sylvie, “Hi Auntie! “ he says, full of excitement,
Sylvie steps back from Stella and squats down in front of the little boy, “hi, Kenny.” She opens up her arms, and he hugs her tight.
Meanwhile, Herrmann gets up from the couch, “what are you doing here, son? Did your mother bring you?”
Kenny turns in Sylvie’s, “Nope.”
“Then how did you get here?” Herrmann asks.
“Mommy, let me spend the day with Uncle Kelly. He let me help him work on his cycle.”
“Your mom let you spend the day with uncle Kelly?” And you worked on his motorcycle?” Herrmann asked for clarification.
“Uh-huh”
“So where’s uncle Kelly? If you’re spending the day with him.”
Kenny just raised his arm and pointed to the doors he’d just run through. Everyone had been so focused on the little boy no one noticed who entered after him. Standing at the common room entrance was Kelly Severide in his dress blues. As he started walking toward Kenny, Sylvie stood back up. She licks her lips forces herself to take a breath and not stare at the man, Stella watches the scene unfold, and gasps as the pieces come together for her.
Kelly ignores everyone in the room and walks up to Sylvie, gently grasping her hand with his white-gloved hand. He goes down on one knee and gives a slight nod to Kenny. He steps up and holds out the bears he’s been holding, carefully flipping open the ring box they’re clutching.
However, Kenny chimes in before Kelly can say anything, “Auntie Sylvie, will you marry Uncle Kelly?”
A few chuckles can be heard in the room, but Sylvie focuses on both Kenny and Kelly, “Yes, I’ll marry your uncle Kelly.”
Kelly removes the ring from the box and slides it onto her ring finger. He then stands and pulls her close. She wraps her arms around his shoulders, leaning up onto her toes, and kisses him. They break to all of their friends cheering and family cheering. Kelly then leans down to Kenny, “thanks for your help, bud; I couldn’t have done it without you.”
Kenny hugs the couple before running over to his dad, and Kelly pulls Sylvie in closer and says, “Is tú mo ghrá.”
“I love you, Kelly Severide, always and forever,” Sylvie says in turn.
The next thing the couple knows, they are being sandwiched between their best friends Stella and Matt, “should have known it was you. Who else brings out the Irish Gaelic?”
Y/N has taken place of Chief as Boden is away. When she and 51 are faced with new threat that keeps trying to lower them, how will she react.

‘Now tidy up here.’ He said, you let go of your radio and walked in front of everyone, you could feel them glancing at you. You had become fed up, he had taken over putting firefighter at risk and now he was making you tidy up the mess he made.
‘Of course, sir, would you like me to wipe your behind for you as well?’ As you finished saying that, you heard everyone gasp around you, and Bill turned to face you.
‘Excuse me?’ He said. You leaned forward.
‘Oh sir, did you not hear me?’ You said as he raised an eyebrow.
‘Do you need help wiping your behind?’ You said raising your voice slightly.
‘Very funny.’ He said smiling and he turned to walk away but you stepped in.
‘I’m stating the truth, you want everyone to do your shit, so why don’t we clean yours up.’
‘Just because you’re the ‘chief’.’ He said you raised a hand as he air quoted ‘Chief’
‘Woo, I am not a ‘chief’ I am the chief, and I don’t take rubbish from you.’ You said going closer to him, taking a hold of your radio and turning it down.
‘Just because you don’t like woman telling people what to do doesn’t give you any reason to disrespect my house like that.’ You said stepping forward. He looked at you.
‘I am not disrespecting-’ He started, not wanting to cause any commotions but you cut him off
‘That’s where your wrong, when Boden put me in charge I was scared at first, being in charge of any house but 51, but then I was welcomed by them all, so when you disrespect me or the house, you are attacking my family.’
‘I will not allow Boden to come back to a broken up house.’ You stated and with that you told everyone to get in the trucks and everyone’s attention on you didn’t go unnoticed.
‘What can I do for you?’ You asked as you saw Bill entering the firehouse. You walked beside him until you got the glass doors and you noticed everyone standing or sitting inside.
‘You made it clear to me that if I have to take you down, then I can’t just aim at you.’ He said and entered the room. You stood in the doorway and watched as he lifted his clipboard.
‘You all made it clear earlier that this house was a problem, none of you listening to orders, disobeying higher in command.’ Bill said.
‘So those who are not named stay here, the rest of you are reassigned.’ Before the words had even finished leaving Bill’s mouth everyone was sighing or mumbling.
‘Brett, firehouse 27, Kidd firehouse 21-’ You had enough and walked in, everyone moving to stand up, you raised your hand making them stay in their seats.
‘Sir.’ You said and he turned towards you, anger evident in his eyes.
‘This is not happening.’ You stated.
‘What?’ He asked with a raised eyebrow.
‘We stay together.’ You stated again, not backing down at all.
‘Well then.’ He said as he brung the clipboard close to his chest.
‘Just because you have a fire house shoved so far up your arse that it’s spurting shit from your mouth we are staying here.’ He stepped forward and your hear chairs move, you stepped forward matching him, not backing down.
‘Y/N-’ He said, your eyes flickered over the man behind him.
‘Chief.’ You said, he looked at you, so you stood taller, squaring your shoulders looking him in the eyes.
‘I am Chief Y/L/N and this is my house, my people and I will not let someone who is scared of a woman overpowering him control us.’ You said, the anger getting the best of you. You had told Boden that you’d look after his house whilst he was away. You had been treated different just because you were a female chief.
‘Now sir, if you’d excuse yourself by leaving the building with your-’ You railed off looking at the man who was standing behind him.
‘Guard dog, I would greatly appreciate it.’ You said. You watched as his shoulders slouched as he sighed. You couldn’t help the smirk as he slammed the door open and walked out, you followed behind and watched as the two of them left the building. Once you were sure he had left, you turned around and headed to the office, you were currently using.
‘Damn.’ Severide said as everyone had watched that, they had never seen you get so defensive. It was scary to see someone who was normally so calm annoyed and wound up by something.
