No, Sylvie Brett is not currently pregnant in Chicago Fire, though she did have a pregnancy scare in a past episode. The situation unfolded during the episode “Looking for a Lifeline”, when Brett started to worry about a possible pregnancy. Gabriela Dawson accompanied her to a pharmacy to purchase a pregnancy test. Although Sylvie attempted to share her fears with Antonio Dawson, she broke down in tears before she could explain. In the end, the test came back negative, but the moment left Sylvie feeling conflicted—indicating that part of her may have wanted a different result.
Recap of Sylvie Brett’s Friendship with Hope and Related Drama
Sylvie’s emotional arc was further complicated by her friendship with Hope Jacquinot, an old friend who briefly visited and then took a receptionist job at Firehouse 51. Although Sylvie was initially excited to have Hope around, tension quickly arose when Hope started a romantic relationship with Kelly Severide and became entangled in suspicious activity at the firehouse.
Hope was later accused of stealing from her former employer, though she told Sylvie the allegations were tied to a failed affair with her boss. While Sylvie stood by her at first, Stella Kidd remained wary. Suspicion deepened when Kidd’s paycheck went missing—though Hope resolved the issue, Sylvie began to question whether her friend was trying to manipulate the situation to appear innocent.
Eventually, it was revealed that Hope had forged Chief Mullins’ signature to reassign Stella to a different department. Once exposed, Chief Boden immediately fired Hope. She tried to justify her actions to Sylvie by claiming she was trying to help women in the firehouse, but Sylvie was furious and cut off all contact with her. Despite Hope’s repeated attempts to reach out, Sylvie referred to her as her “former friend.”
Additional Highlights in Sylvie’s Storyline
Sylvie continued to prove her value at Firehouse 51 in other ways, including helping Joe Cruz develop the Slamigan—a hybrid tool combining a sledgehammer and Halligan bar—using her welding skills.
She also found herself in danger during an undercover operation alongside Dawson, Antonio, and Voight. They attempted to distract a suspect during a wellness check, and Brett came prepared to defend herself with a hidden scalpel. Joe Cruz later expressed concern for her safety and apologized after overhearing her involvement.
