Spoilers ahead for Chicago Fire season 13, episode 12, “Relief Cut.”

I didn’t want a pregnancy storyline that would take her agency.

At that time, I even suggested that it was time forKidd and Severide’s marriage to end.

This alleviates my fears about a dramatic unexpected pregnancy storyline that would drive a wedge between them.

I’m convinced thatChicago Firecan keep their story interesting without pitting them against each other.

That said, my excitement deflated when Kidd suggested adopting instead of getting pregnant.

While still better than a pregnancy twist trope, it’s a tired storyline, especially in One Chicago.

Joe Cruz also underwent the same route when it came to expanding his family.

Not because adoption isn’t a good way to do it, but purely because of storytelling purposes.

Stella Kidd, Natalie Manning, Jay Halstead, Mitch Ripley, and Gabby Dawson from the One Chicago shows.

Given Kidd and Severide’s importance to theChicago Fire, they deserve only good stories moving forward.
