Emily's pov:

We were at work, sat down. Hereman, Otis, Gabby and mouch sat in the corner.

"I'm cursed." Herrman said. We were all looking at a contract type thing. "Herramann, this contract, if you wanna call it that, is ancient." Otis said.

"Doesn't matter. It states right there that Stephanides and whoever the hell that this Clifford Baylor is held a 50-50 stake in our bar." Herrmann said. "It's handwritten. It might have been just a rough draft that wasn't properly executed. It's not even dated." Dawson said. I nodded in agreement.

"Should've never opened that safe." Mouch said. "Shut it, Mouch." Herrmann said angrily. "Oh my god." Dawosn then said. We all looked up at her. "What?" Herrmann asked.

There was a false bottom to the box. I looked at herrmann. Gabby pulled out another box. "Dawson, don't open it." Herrmann said. Gabby handed it to me. I but a pin I to the lock.

The alarm then went. 'Smoke eater in the house.' We all looked at each other then walked to the truck. "Benny!" I said. He smiled and hugged me. Benny is Kelly's dad. "Your pregnant?" He asked with a smile. "Yeah." I said. He smiled bigger. "Glad your happy." He said.

The alarm then went. "No gear. Your getting big." Casey said with a half smile. I nodded. Normally I put gear on just incase, but now I can't.

There was a bunch of people stuck in a door. "It's a gas. Emily, your out of this one." Casey said. "No, Matt I can help I-" Otis cut me off. "Babe. No. I can't wrisk something happening to either of you. Especially with the condition it's in." Otis said. I nodded and sat on the curb.

Cruz looked at me briefly then did what he had to do. They got everyone out safely.

-

We got back to the firehouse and Cruz pulled me aside. "What's going on with the baby?" He asked, clear concern in his voice. "It's growing faster then it should. That means I've got more of a chance of a misscarrage.'' I said. Cruz hugged me. "Yeah. But positive thoughts. Their going to make it." I said. He nodded. He then walked away.

-

We then got back to the box. This time Casey, Shay and Cruz was with us. Otis opened the box and help up a badge. "Wow. That's cool." Shay said. "A war medal?" Cruz asked. "Silver star. Third-highest military decoration for valor." Mouch said. "Of corse." Herrmann said.

We all decided that we would find the guy and give it back to him. Then we all went and did our separate things.

-

I was sat next to Otis, holding his hand when Shay made an announcement. She's going to have a baby but being artificially Inseminated.

We all nodded then got back to our own convosations. "We still need a name for our bar." Herrmann said. I then looked at my brother who walked over to Shay.

-

We got in the truck and Otis looked at me. "You can't keep coming on calls. It's gonna get to dangerous soon." Otis said. I nodded. "I just love working." I said. He smiled and kissed my head.

We all got out and I watched them do there work. I then walked with Mills to the driver who was about to jump off a bridge.

I let Mills do his work but I had to step in. "He's alive. A bit scratched up, but nothing to bad." I said. "He was crushed, I called out to him." The guy said. "He was unconscious. Then went into shock." Mills said. "No." The guy said. Shaking his head.

I looked at Mills and tapped my foot quietly, trying to think of something. "A couple weeks ago, we pulled a kid out of a lake. Practically frozen solid, alright. But we brought him back to life 10 minutes later." I said.

"Sometimes the body shuts down and just needs to reboot." I said. "You'll say anything to get me off of here." He said. I looked at Mills. "If your thinking of kill yourself because you think you killed somebody, I'm sorry, your working of bad Intel." Mills said.

"Hey, Luitenant, bike messenger guy, can you give him an update?" Mills asked my brother. I nodded at Casey. "Broken right femur, a couple broken ribs. Apart from that, he's gonna be fine." Casey said.

"Promise me your not lying." The guy said. "I promise." Mills said. "I figured it was better to lie to him and get him down-" Mills started. I walked away to the truck.

I was shivering. "Hey, you OK?" Cruz asked me. "Didn't have time to get my jacket." I said. He took of his fire coat and put it around me. I smiled. "Sit in truck. We won't be much longer." Cruz said. I nodded and sat in truck.

-

We got back to the firehouse and I have Cruz his coat back. "Thanks." I said. "Anytime." He said. I smiled then walked away. "Hey." Otis walked up to me. "Two things." He said. "One, we need you in the briefing room. Two, why didn't you ask for my coat?" He asked. I sighed.

"Brian Zvonecek, I am freezing cold. May I have your jacket?" I asked. He chuckled and gave it to me. It was really big on me because I was alot smaller then him. We then walked to the briefing room.

Gabby and I were sat on one side of the table, while Herrmann and Otis on the other. "Is Mills OK?" Herrmann asked Gabby. "Yeah, why?" She asked him.

"Well, you were giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and I didn't know if-" He cut himself off by laughing. "You went supposed to say anything, man." Otis said. I smiled at him. "Who cares?" Herrmann asked. "I do! I told you to keep your big mouth shut." Otis said.

Ah, who cares, man? You shocked?" Herrmann asked him. Otis looked really cute. "Is that why you guys called me in here or what?" Dawson asked. "No. Otis." Herrmann said.

"We found Clifford Baylor's address.'' Otis said. He told us where he was but I suddenly got really hot. I took off Otis' jacket. Then we all agreed we were fou g to give the medal to the guy ourselves.

"Babe, you OK?" Otis asked me. They all looked at me. "Yeah. Just hot." I said. Herrmann laughed. "Come on. Put his jacket back on and sit outside. Cindy got this." Herrmann said. I sat outside in the cold and I felt normal again.

"What was that?" Otis asked. Herrman gave me a cookie. "Low blood sugar. Eat that and you'll feel even better. With the baby, it can happen." He said. I smiled at him.

-

After shift, we all got in the car and went to the old people's home. "These places give me the creeps." Herann said. "No, this one ain't so bad." Otis said.

We walked over to the guy. We all sat down. "Mr. Baylor. My name is Gabriela Dawson. This is Christopher Herrmann, Brian Zvonecek and Emily Casey." She said. We all said sir.

"We recently purchased a bar from Spiro Stephanides." Gabby said. The man nodded. "Okay, sure. Spiro." The man said. "In the bar were some person affects." She handed hik the box and he took it. Otis took my hand and looked at me, worried.

The man opened the box. "Oh, my goodness." He said. "Korian war, sir?" Herrmann asked. The man sighed. "I lost alot of friends there." He said. Otis looked down, bit looked back up when the man spoke again. "Thank you." He said.

"Thank you for bringing this to me." He said. "Sir, there was also a note along with the personal effects. Regarding an owership stake in the bar." Gabby said. "We didn't know if this had been resolved or not, but we're honourable people, and if yoh feel that you've been cheated or anything, we'll be happy to work something out." Gabby said.

He scoffed and shook his head. "No. Spiro got the bar." He smiled. "I got the girl." He said. "We were married 40 years." He said. "Spiro didn't think we would last a day." He said. He laughed and we all smiled. "Oh, the bar is yours. Have a drink on me." He said. We all smiled bigger.

"That's very kind of you sir, thank you." I said. He looked over and smiled at me. He saw Otis and I holding hands and then saw my belly. The others walked away but he grabbed me slightly so I stayed.

"How long have you been with him?" He asked. "4 months. Also 4 months pregnant. Also don't know if he's the father." I stopped. "That makes me sound really bad." I said. He shook his head. "Let me guess, achoo was involved?" He asked with a slight laugh. I nodded.

"Hey. If you beat 40 years, I'll owe you a drink." He said. I laughed then walked with the others. But then I stopped. I grabbed Gabby and pulled her to the man again. "What was your wife's name?" I asked him.

-

We got out the car and put him in the wheelchair. We walked a couple feet to the bar, pushing the guy with us. "What the hell is going on?" He asked. Otis took my hand and smiled. A sighn then rolled down. It said 'Molly's'

"Your really gonna call it Molly's?" He asked. "If that's OK with you." Gabby said. He started crying so we all put a hand on his shoulder.
