On Chicago Fire, Season 13 Episode 12, “Relief Cut,” Stella tells Kelly she wants a family with him. The promo video shows her saying this to him and also that she “doesn’t want to wait any longer.”
After the suspense of the One Chicago Crossover event, this episode will likely be a bit lighter, and it looks to focus a bit on Stella Kidd’s backstory — something fans have been wanting more of for quite some time.
