After shift Harper still has an hour or 2 before she has to pick up Aria and Devin. She goes to visit Casey. She walks in and can see his unconscious body lying on the bed. She sits down next to him
"You've got to get better you hear me!" Harper says
"Kelly's really struggling without you!" Harper says
Harper then picks up the kids and heads back to her house. The kids run in and shout for Kelly but he isn't in
"Where's dad?" Aria asks
"Dada?" Devin says
"He's probably just running late! Now get you homework done young lady!" Harper says
It's after dinner time and it's almost time for bed
"Mummy? Where's daddy for my bedtime story!" Aria says
"I think he's staying with uncle Herrmann. He will be back in the morning I promise!" Harper says tucking Aria into bed
Harper has put all of the kids to bed and is eating dinner alone as she usually eats dinner with Kelly. She tries to call him but he doesn't pick up.
It's the next day and Harper has taken Aria to school, Devin to daycare and the twins to Bennys house. She is walking into the firehouse and gets changed. She has a new candidate starting on truck today.
"Umm hello! I'm looking for a Captain Bailey!" A woman says
"Ahh you must be Amelia Johns! I'm Harper Bailey! Nice to meet you!" Harper says shaking her hand
"You two it's great to be here!" Amelia says
Harper introduces her to everyone and starts to make breakfast. Kelly hasn't spoken to Harper since shift started. Harper is doing paperwork when she can overhear Johns and A new paramedic talking.
"Have you seen the squad captain!" Amelia says
"He's a bit of me!" The paramedic says
"He's not stoped speaking to me all morning! I might transfer to squad!" Amelia says as she laughs
Harper walks up to them
"Shouldn't you be doing inventory along with Dawson?" Harper says to the new paramedic
"And shouldn't you be cleaning the truck?" Harper says to Amelia
"Sorry captain"Amelia says as she walks away
A while later squad is out and a call and Harper stands in front of everyone in the common room
"Who did Kelly stay with last night" Harper asks
"Me!" Dawson says
"He didn't answer my calls!" Harper says sitting next to Dawson
"He didn't come out of his room for the full night" Dawson says
"This Casey stuff is hitting him pretty hard" Harper says before getting up and making lunch
A while later everyone is in the common room apart from Kelly. Harper decides that she is going to go see him. She walks to his quarters but notices something in the locker room. She walks in and can see Kelly and Amelia kissing
"Wow! Really Kelly?" Harper says running away
"Harper!" Kelly shouts
