#stellaride baby when

[sailingfireshipz]

At this point, yall can send Kelly to OFI, give me Stella Kidd pregnant & send my Stellaride ship off into the sunset....that's where I'm at with it! Give the people what they want & then humanely put us all out of our misery.

[sailingfireshipz]

Ok, she was so proud of herself & he was so proud of her! Wonder what other room she could decorate...🤔

Well, you made it happen. You had an idea, you got it done. What I love about you.

CHICAGO FIRE 11.03 | Completely Shattered

[chicagofires]

can you believe in less than 48 hours we might see stellaride have a real actual conversation about having kids like our babies are all grown up and they might be parents by the end of THIS SEASON

[timothyslucy]

she's gonna be the best mommy. 😭💗

[princess-olaf]

OK, time for me. It won’t be the last post, because boy do I have lots to say about the last episode, but you gotta start somewhere 😉

I can’t believe I have to say this but two things can be true at the same time.

1. Stellaride adopting a baby feels totally right. Stella lived with her aunt after her parents died. Kelly moved in with April when Benny left and his mum couldn’t take care of him anymore. Both of them know how life changing it is when someone else than your parents opens their home and their heart to you and help you. How much that means - especially when you are a kid (I know Kelly was in high school at this point but he wasn’t an adult, he still needed his family, he still needed support and care and love. Like every kid).

Both of them help people at work. They do it without hesitation - like Stella told Kelly, when someone needs help, he doesn’t ask questions, he does everything he can to help them.

Their relationship helped both of them heal their wounds, showed them that they deserve true love, happiness and peace. Was it an easy road? Nope. Was it worth it? Totally.

Also, another thing that is worth pointing out is the fact that they are actually the first couple who talked about adopting a baby before meeting the baby. Gabby saw Louis on call, same with Cruz, Brett and Burgess. It wasn’t something they considered before - and if they did, they never mentioned it (correct me if I’m wrong). It’s nice to see two people talk about it, take time with it and make decisions based on what feels right to them - because they want to and they are sure of it, not just because they rescued a baby during work (I don’t day it’s not a good thing, but again, repeated storyline has entered the chat).

2. Being mad that we might get another adoption storyline is also totally valid. BTW let’s point out that she said she wanted to know if adoption is something he would consider and want. She didn’t say it’s their only option. And she didn’t say ’absolutely no’ to being pregnant. OK, moving on. We’ve seen adoption so many times already - with Dawsey (I didn’t say it was all successful), Burgess, Cruz and Brett. We’ve seen Casey fostering Darden boys (twice actually), we’ve seen that with Maggie on MED. At this point it feels like it’s the only way for a couple to have a baby. Yeah, Cindy was pregnant, same with Donna and Chloe, but they are not main characters. And their pregnancy was being told from male perspective - their husbands were the ones talking about that, their jobs weren’t at risk because of that, it was there but it wasn’t the centre of attention. By making Stella pregnant they could show how different women are treated, how different is for female firefighter to become a mum than it is for male firefighter to become a dad. Itd make dominated environment, it’s hard as it is, so they had a chance to show how pregnancy make it even harder. And with Stella being the lieutenant? What would that mean for her company? Would they put her behind the desk to do some boring paperwork nobody else wants to do - or would she use that opportunity to make a difference in the department and work to make CFD better place for female firefighters?

And not only that - you have WOC and you don’t use her to shine a light to the reality of how much that impacts her. Nice, you brought up PPD, but what about the fact that pregnancy is way more risky when you are POC? I don’t live in USA, but I’m not blind or stupid, we all know how mortality rates during pregnancy and childbirth are raising lately and how it is worse for people of colour. Perfect opportunity for showing that you are aware what is happening around you.

So, like I said in the beginning of this very long rant (if you made it to the end, thank you - and wow, congratulations, you made through all this rambling), it’s ok to be annoyed at another repeated storyline while being totally happy for two people who wants to expand their family (because two of them are already a family of their own and you won’t change my mind about that).

[sailingfireshipz]

It hasn't even been a year since this scene, but I am in absolute need of them interacting with another baby 🥹

[stellariders]

i saw someone on twitter do listen and we don’t judge chicago fire edition and since i had so many i thought i’d make a list

1. severide should’ve been captain seasons ago and if derek was still showrunner he would’ve eventually made that happen. but since it’s andrea, she insists on ofi storylines even though canonically kelly prefers squad 3 over arson and she only writes ofi storylines bc she enjoys them herself for herself. but she doesn’t seek to take into consideration that most fans are tired of seeing kelly do ofi all the time

2. andrea is a good writer but a terrible showrunner. she doesn’t seem to think through all the storylines she plans out. damon and kelly? recycled and still didn’t live up to the potential it could’ve. carver and tory? extremely useless because carver didn’t learn anything. stellaride baby talk? still hasn’t been brought up past that first episode and it feels forgotten.

3. i just don’t see mouch as a lieutenant. and i think the only reason the writers chose to go this route for him is so he can replace stella when she gets pregnant

4. herrmann will inevitably pass the captains exam and become captain but it honestly feels rushed because we didn’t see him study one time. instead he got too many comedic storylines.

5. ritter should’ve gotten so much more screentime then he did. i’d rather see a healthy relationship like ritter and dwayne then carver and tory because their relationship was so pointless. the carver and tory storyline was extremely stupid and was really just a waste of time for carver and mikarver as a ship since we know they’ll end up getting back together

6. squad should have more solo rescue calls

7. writers aren’t executing storylines well this season and because of it, the episodes feel extremely filler

8. brett/stella/foster was the best female trio we got because it felt like all three were actually friends. sometimes stella feels left out of the trios because she’s the only firefighter whereas the other two are always medics. but stella and foster felt like they had a genuine friendship despite the fact that they were a firefighter and medic duo.

9. kelly NEEDS more interactions outside of stella and pascal. herrmann and cruz are literally right there yet the writers won’t let them have scenes together and it’s frustrating. i’d also love to see kelly with violet because my headcannon is that they’re siblings

[shewholovesall]

So I don't think we talk enoght about he fact that Kelly was planning to have a baby with Shay. I mean maybe if you have been in the fandom since thei first season maybe you did but I was not there.

That S1 bachelor extradonair was going to have a baby with his best friend.

NOt even he was just hleping her to have a baby like donating sperm. They were going to raise this baby together. Talkng about if someitn happened who would get the baby, and shay having him think of names he would like to put on the list.

He was acively going to raise a baby with Shay. And if they did have the baby and Shay lived, Stella would be a great bonus mom to shayveride's baby and then when stellaride had a baby shay would be the best bonusmom/aunt to that baby

kelly severide was robbed of this other family life he oculd have had

we were robbed

[elliegoestodownton]

As an anon asked about my hopes for this season's PD, I'm gonna write down my wishes for both Fire and PD (I don't watch Med actively though I may start now that Sarah Ramos and Darren Barnet have joined the cast...).

Fire 🔥🔥🔥

What I wish for every year: no drama for Stellaride. I know Severide's brother will cause clashes and there's gonna be tension over the whole baby thing. If they're going down that road, then let them go through it in an organic way. Let them talk, not fight.

New Chief. It would be nice if they went for something different than the usual "new guy challenges 51 but after 3 episodes he understands how great it is, submits to the 51 way and everyone loves everybody else". We've seen that billions of times. It would be much more interesting to see how instead 51 adapts to a different leadership style.

Also the new Chief has an ex-wife (so pumped for KaDee!). I would absolutely love a sort of "comedy of remarriage" thing. I'm a sucker for second chances.

Novak is super fun and it would be great to see her develop as a character on her own, not on the basis of a romantic relationship (already rolling my eyes at the whole vibe with young Severide). Let us see her be good at her job and have loads of fun.

Speaking of Novak. A true party girl, who I feel would get along very well with Trudy (who, we have established, had a certain reputation back in the day). I am hoping for some short interaction at some point. Imagine that! Throw Violet (aka the captain of Trudy's fanclub) into the mix and I'd be very happy.

The return of Annabelle Herrmann. That's it, that's the wish. I love that menace to society.

More quality screentime for Ritter.

Kylie coming back and staying on Truck.

Mouch, my beloved! Of course, I haven't forgotten you! Just keep him alive, doing stupid things with Herrmann, but I also want to see him study and prepare for the Lt. exam. Study session with Trudy anyone? 😏 She, of all people, would know how to make him pass that test.

Plouch being Plouch.

PD 🚨🚨🚨

We might be getting patrol back with Kiana. Our prayers may have been answered. I'm hoping for less character-centric episodes and more of a balanced, choral vibe where there's also space for levity. I will be disappointed, I know, but dreams never go out of business, right?

Let Kiana stay on patrol a while. I don't want her to jump right back onto Intelligence. It would be the same as they did with Torres and we need patrol.

A recurring Petrovic, if not a regular. I like her.

It would be time for people to get promoted. I think both Kim and Kevin would be ready at this point, although it seems there will be one promotion only.

More quality screentime for Kevin. Let his centric episodes/cases go beyond race.

More girl!dad Adam.

I hope we will get to see the Burzek wedding. Keeping my expectations low on this and certainly I don't think we will get a crossover (not even Mouch as much as I'd like to), but I'd want to see some bits of the ceremony with everyone from PD there.

Also hoping for a throwback to THE wedding planner and Kim chucking down vodka at Trudy's wedding. Maybe Kim can get those $20 back.

I would still kill for a scene between Trudy and Mack.

As I wrote ages ago, and as I say every 3 seconds, more 👏🏻Trudy 👏🏻 on screen! 👏🏻 For Trudy to be involved more in cases, but also for her to have a more focused episode since she hasn't had one since friggin' S4. As I wrote here, I'd LOVE for Intelligence to pick up a case that links back to an old one Trudy worked on when she was in Robbery and Homicide and explore a bit of Trudy's career and past.

[sylkiddsey]

Here to vent again 😂💃🏼

I love Stellaride a lot. They are a top tier ship but it’s so funny that some (certainly not all) of their stans always use the scenes of Stella/Julia and kinda Severide to talk about how they are such parents when it’s literally Matt and Sylvie’s canon child but people want to ignore that because they hate brettsey 😂

Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE that Stella is obviously the god mother and Severide is probably the god father. It’s adorable but the complete erasure of Sylvie as her actual mom is insane.

I can’t wait for stellaride to be parents and they deserve a kid but my god, Julia is Sylvie and Matt’s baby 🤣 Stop ignoring that to fit an agenda! 🫨

[sailingfireshipz]

See... it's shit like this that feeds my delusions because girl what?

[kim-ruzek]

my problem sometimes with my extensive headcanons is this. like i want a stellaride baby. i want it super super badly. but also. in my head they have a baby girl named flora and i know i'll inevitably be (unrationally) disappointed when they have their baby and she's not flora shay

Chicago Fire 12x1: Barely Gone

What I Liked:

Opening with a Stellaride shower scene! They're just so beautiful!!

I love when Kelly gets an OFI case. Always good stuff.

Herman & Kidd fighting over Ritter.

Brett just being her normal supportive, happy self. I squealed at that picture of her & Julia. Then I laughed at the others b/c it's terrible photoshop.

Severide, Carver & Cruz!!!

Brett suggesting Carver take Violet as his date to the wedding. She knows Violet has or had a crush.

What I Didn't Like:

Gallo leaving.... but I understand family comes first.

The disagreement over Kelly working the OFI case. I get both sides but yeah....

Something's up with Herman & I have a feeling it's not good.

Gallo, Ritter & Violet goodbye. Tears! Gonna miss them.

Stellaride

Ok so Kelly is clearly passionate about this OFI stuff. What he did was wrong. Not contacting her at all b/c you can easily conclude that he loves the work more than her. She was an afterthought. She's scared that he will do the same thing again, but a compromise has to be made. He took his name off the Special Investigators List & he's clearly upset about that. It can quickly turn into resentment. Considering his comment to her before they got married "of course you're happy b/c you got what you wanted" something like that. It can get bad fast. I just hope they don't turn him into Jay.

I don't see this ending well & I think they might be headed for divorce if something doesn't give.

Brettsey

Don't care about Brettsey. It's just such a boring & forced ship. However, I'm happy for Brett. Specifically for her & baby Julia. She finally has the family she's been wanting. I loved this storyline with Dawson even tho it ended in 💔. Wishing the best for Brett/Julia.

Stella/Carver

Until I get confirmation with actions/words, I'm going to assume Carver still has feelings for Stella. It has been six months so maybe those feelings started to die when Stella went after Severide. They still have a past together that hasn't been revealed yet & I suspect they are saving it for a reason. I just know he's really good at hiding his true feelings when it comes to her.

Violet/Carver

Either they are hooking up or it's something else entirely. I think they are cute & there's chemistry. Although she seems annoyed or that's just a front.

Violet/Brett

Another duo I'm going to miss. That scene was so sweet. Violet is going to be amazing as PIC b/c she had such an amazing example.

Top 3 characters:

Hermann

Severide

Brett

POSSIBLE EXITS:

Severide & Hermann

OKAYYYYYYYY my thoughts on the episode

stellaride

-i’m just so happy for them and they’re gonna be such good parents and i love them so much

-i also just love fluffy silly stellaride

-the zoom call scene🥹

-i do feel like monica’s death will hit them hard. i was a bit worried for how it would affect them but i think the promo lifted some of that fear

-what i am very scared about however is how much their jobs being a factor in their adoption was mentioned this episode. im sure part of that was just for suspense but idk the exchange they had after stella tackled that guy after the car accident. there’s definitely more coming

-but for now i choose to be happy because STELLARIDE ARE HAVING A BABY

damon

-this episode made me… kinda like him?

-i need him to apologize to stella fully before i’m okay with him coming back to 51

-but we got big brother kelly so i didn’t hate his involvement in this episode, even if it did seem like an unnecessarily prominent storyline just to set up his return to 51

-i am on board with the damon x novak ship im sorry

herrmann/mouch

-i am so confused with what they’re doing with this promotion storyline

-i was on board with it earlier in the season. but stella’s not getting pregnant anytime soon, and herrmann isn’t even sure he wants to he captain. plus who knows what’s going on with pascal after tonight… so what’s the endgame here is my question

pascal/monica

-my heartttttt

-i don’t know why im so emotional when i don’t even care for them as character or a couple

-ON THEIR ANNIVERSARY???????

-the promo kinda debunked a theory i had. it could still happen but i heavily doubt it now

-i’m scared to witness pascal’s spiral

violet

-mikarver being adorable even when carver’s gone UGH i love them

-whoever made the decision for violet to be the one to tell pascal monica died- when she watched her OWN boyfriend die in a tragic way- i hope your pillow is never cold again

[timothyslucy]

Thoughts on Stellaride adopting?

i'm excited for them to adopt!!!

i know i've expressed wanting them to ahem, ya know.... 👉👌 for a baby of their own, but i wholeheartedly stand behind stella wanting to adopt, and think any foster child would be so blessed to be placed with them.

i just hope that's what they both want though, idk... i feel like there was some... hesitancy? from severide when stella brought it up (but maybe i'm just overanalyzing). whatever the case i hope that whatever they have planned in regards to this plotline all goes down smoothly. or as smoothly as possible, given how tedious of a process adoption is.
