It's a few days later and Harper is now 30 weeks. She needs to make it last 38 to know for sure that she's gonna be okay. Today Harper has decided to decorate the nursery as she has the day off. She has all of the things she just needs to put them together. She then hears the door open.
"Who is it?" Harper calls out
"51 to your rescue!" Kelly shouts as Harper comes out of the new baby's room
"Guys you didn't have to!" Harper says
"We did!" Kelly says
"Yeah no offence Harper but your not the best builder!" Casey says laughing
"I should probably stick to firefighting!" Harper says laughing
They all pitch in to build the nursery. Casey and Kelly are building all of the units. Boden and Herrmann are building the crib. Gabby and Harper are painting. And everyone else is pitching in where they can. After a while it's done.
"I love it!" Harper says
"Thank you all so much!" Harper says pulling them into a group hug
"It's no problem kid!" Herrmann says
"So have you decided on a name yet?" Boden asks
"We're still thinking but we have a few ideas!" Harper says touching her belly
"Your getting so big!" Dawson says
"Ohh! Here feel this guys!" Harper says as they all put their hands on her belly
"He's kicking!" Boden says smiling
"I think he's gonna be a boxer!" Cruz says
It's the next day on shift and Harper is making lunch. She has made chicken Parm.
"Lunch is ready!" Harper shouts
"Squad 3, Truck 81, Ambulance 61, Road traffic accident, 56th south street" the intercom says as they all rush out
They arrive on scene and can see 2 cars that have collided. Harper's jacket it open because she can't close it properly. But she does her best to hide her bump on calls. There's a man hanging about so she walks up to him
"Sir I'm gonna have to ask you to stand back!" Harper says
"He caused this!" The man shouts
"Step back sir!" Harper says
"Oh look at the pretty lady firefighter!" The man says looking at her jacket
"And she's a Luitenent! Are they letting anyone be a Luitenent now! And she's fat!" The guy says laughing
"I'm not going to ask you again stand back!" Harper shouts
"Or what! Are you gonna slap me!" The man says pushing Harper to the ground as 51 rush over
"Hey! She said stand back!" Boden says As the man runs away
Cruz then helps Harper up and they get on with the call. When they get back to the firehouse Cruz makes sure Harper's okay
"Are you sure you don't need anything?"Cruz says helping her over to the couch
"Im all good Cruz!" Harper says sitting on the couch
"Are you sure? I can get you water or I could get you something to eat! You look hungry! I'll be right back!" Cruz says running to the kitchen
He then comes back with a plate of chicken parm and a soda
"Thank you Cruz! Your the best!" Harper says
"Here put your feet up!" Cruz says putting a cushion on the table
"You really are a sweetheart aren't you?" Harper says laughing
