Moms Night Out 🍻
“Wait you can’t be serious?” Stella asked as she passed Hailey her first beer.
“Oh no, I am!” Hailey told her, getting some of the foam off the top. “Completely serious. I come home one day and the house is fucking disaster, Jay’s like ducked under a pillow, and our two twins are barreling down the hallway screaming at the top of their lungs. I guess they were quote-un-quote sword fighting and Jay was the big scary dragon they were supposed to slay.”
Stella held back a laugh. “And?” She asked, brows and drink raised in tandem.
“And what?” Hailey questioned.
“Well, did they slay Jay or what?!”
“Oh,” Hailey grinned. “Hell yeah they did!”
“How’d they get so hyped up anyhow?”
Hailey gave Stella a deadpan look. “Have you met Jay? The man can’t say no to anything Cooper and Cici ask. They’re like, his kryptonite or something.”
Stella set her beer down. “Soooooo, sugar high?”
Hailey mumbled an “Mhmm,” as she took a long drink. “So, how ‘bout you and Kelly?”
Kidd didn’t hold back a laugh this time. “Oh Jesus. When aren’t we dealing with craziness. I swear, it’s like I ask him to do one fucking thing and he manages to not only not do it, but to have done something else instead!”
Upton motioned for her to elaborate.
“Oh, so we were taking Brian over to daycare right? And Kelly just ups and drives through the McDonalds lunch rush because Brian begs him for “nugs.””
“Nugs?” Hailey asked, her brows knitting together.
“Nuggets. Y’know, chicken nuggets?”
“Oh, got it. Okay, so? That’s not bad!”
“It is when we’ve already been late 2 times the same week dropping Bri off at daycare! I don’t wanna look like the slacker parent cause my dumbass husband is controlled by a 3 year old.”
Hailey bit her lip to keep from completely losing it. She could just picture Stella and Kelly, minding their own business when Brian makes those big puppy dog eyes and BAM! Chaos ensues.
It’s what happens with Jay all the time. Hailey says the twins can’t have ice cream until they do some spelling or practice their handwriting? She’ll come back to chocolate covered handprints not only on the kitchen counter, but all over their homework too.
But then of course Jay gives her that look, the one she’s been melting over for years, and she’s a goner. Typical. Course who could blame her? She has a hot husband. A hot sergeant husband, she might add.
“Helllooooooo? Earth to Hailey?” Stella tried, waving her hand in front of the blonde’s face.
“Hm? What? Oh, sorry.” Hailey said. “Just daydreaming.”
Stella scoffed, pouring out another round for each of them. “Uh huh. Anyway....”
“What?” Hailey asked, noting Stella’s knowing tone.
“Well, have you and Jay even had a date night since the twins came along?”
Hailey buried her head in her hands. “Oh hell, do not make me tell the story of Octoberfest 2021, Stell. I can’t do it.”
Kidd was a quarter into her beer when she perked up. “Oh no, you’re telling it.”
“Fine.”
Stella leaned on her elbows so she could listen as Hailey settled in. “So, I get Jay to agree to go to the festival with me. He says he’s got it allllll figured out, right? Babysitters would get there at 8, we’d be back by 11-11:30 tops.”
“Okay, sounding good so far...”
“Well, come to find out the original babysitters of his brother Will and girlfriend Natalie are going to the festivities too! Therefore, Jay, in all his infinite wisdom, dialed up Adam to help out last minute.”
“Oh hell.”
“Yeah. Adam’s a great friend, but a horrible babysitter. You think it was crazy when Jay was there? That was — and pardon the pun — child’s play.”
“Oh come on, Hail. I’m sure it wasn’t all bad. Besides, he and Kim are attached at the hip aren’t they?”
“Usually, Yeah. But no, not that night. Kim was out and about with Kevin, Vinessa, and Jordan.”
“Oh.”
“Yeah, oh. So Ruzek’s alone with our kids and I get a call from Adam at — ready for it — 9:30 and he asks me where I keep the towels. Turns out, he let the kids “make dinner” which meant, flour and dough everywhere, pizza sauce on the fucking ceiling, cheese in I don’t even know where and—“
“Okay, okay, I get it. So Adam’s no pizza man,” Stella observed.
Hailey downed a lot more of her beer before continuing. “So then I of course pull Jay away and he’s just like, oh but they love their uncle Adam!” And im over here thinking of course they do but I don’t love him when they turn the house upside down!”
“Hailey, you’re such a mom,” Stella joked.
“Well, I made Jay go home and help Adam clean up the kitchen, meanwhile I had to wrangle the twins into pajamas and properly feed them.”
“Could be worse,” Stella offered. “One time Brian convinced Kelly that there was a mouse living in his toolkit.”
Hailey paused. “Was there?”
“Yeah, a fake one!” Stella grinned. “He’d put it there as a prank but oh man, I’d never seen Kelly so pale!” She laughed out loud at the memory. “Then Kelly told him about how to pull an even better prank. So then lo and behold, I find a “snake” in the shower and almost trip and kill myself.”
Hailey giggled. “Oh god—” she couldn’t finish her sentence because she burst out into another giggle fit. “I’m sorry, but that’s too funny!”
“He made it up to me though,” Stella winked, and Hailey smirked.
“Yeah, Jay’s had to do some groveling too...”
“Don’t you mean begging?” Stella pushed, wagging her eyebrows.
Hailey shrugged, leaving it open ended, because, as luck would have it, in come their dumbass husbands now.
“Hey,” Kelly says first, nodding at Hailey before leaning over the bar to kiss Stella.
“Hi babe,” Hailey says as Jay walks over to her. He wrapped his arms around her, sort of hugging her.
“So, where’re our kids, guys?” Stella asked as she pulled away from Severide.
“Yeah, so, about that....” Jay began, running a hand over the back of his neck. Kelly stood over near him looking just as sheepish.
“They may have wanted to go to Chuck-E-Cheese. We may have taken them.” Severide told the ladies.
“We? As in you and him, right?” Kidd asked.
“Well....” Jay began, his sentence cut short by a pair of bustling legs and high pitched squeals coming down the way.
“Momma! Momma! Look! Uncle Adam bought us milkshakes and and we won a big bear!!”
Cooper and Cici pointed towards Adam, who, of course strolled into Molly’s with the hugest teddy bear Hailey had ever seen.
“Well, actually I won the bear,” Jay defended, looking at Hailey with the rest of his sentence — ‘for you’ unspoken.
“I managed the high score at ski ball,” Kelly chimed in. Stella gave him a nod, patting his shoulder. What he didn’t see was she mouthed over to Hailey ‘sure he did.’
“You sure the kids had fun?” Stella asked, clearly amused.
“Not as much as us,” Adam said, earning eye rolls from the ladies and embarrassed looks from the menchild spouses.
Stella and Hailey grinned at each other. Yeah, some things never change.
10 Questions Every Fic Writer Secretly Wants to be Asked
There are a lot of fic questions that float around online, but rarely do they ever ask specific questions about the fics themselves. Ask any writer one or more of these ten questions to learn more about the fic and show support.
1. Of the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite and why?
2. Which scene was your favorite to write in [title of fic]?
3. Which part of [title] was hardest to write?
4. If you could change anything in [title], what would it be?
5. Did you make an outline for [title]? Did you stick to it?
6. Which scenes did you cut, and which were added in [title]?
7. Who was your favorite character to write in [title]?
8. Which came first, the title or the fic?
9. Which idea came to you first in [title]?
10. What are some facts readers may not know about [title]?
Wait can someone seriously ask me something 🥺‼️ in case ya didn’t know, here’s my fanfics: https://m.fanfiction.net/u/12034666/CPDSVU
#1, the rookie #3, and then 9 for your most recent upstead story posted on tumblr!
re: @anna-justice ––
#1: oh gosh, if i had to pick just one fic, it’d be “ghost of you.” although that might just be tied with “future past.”
#3: if you mean my fic “a rookie mistake” then the hardest part to write about that one was hailey’s monologue while she was trapped. if that’s not what you meant, do let me know so i can edit it :D
#9: oh, well that’s easy. i’ve actually written a whole entire novel based on that premise (a witness and a detective getting involved), so that’s where that idea came from. i just tweaked it some to fit upstead of course haha
