Gracie's POV (8 years old)

I pulled my coat tight around me as I stood waiting for my brother to collect me, a nervous pit growing in my stomach the more time passed. I had failed a test and my report card needed signing by one of my brothers. It's the third test that I've failed this semester but the truth is, I shouldn't have failed any of them. I just wanted to fit in and my friends have decided that, as long as I'm passing tests that they aren't, that I'm 'weird.' I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of a car honking and I looked up to see Antonio. I felt a slight wave of relief wash over me as I walked over to his car and hopped in.

"Your brother was tied up with some paperwork so he asked me to pick you up" he explained as he pulled away from the school and drove us towards the district. The drive was short and sweet, both of us more than happy to sit in a comfortable silence. We walked in to the precinct and walked side by side up the stairs in to the intelligence unit.

"Hey mini Halstead" Adam greeted me, ruffling my hair up in the process,

"Hey Adam" I replied as I walked over to Jays desk, sneaking up behind him and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"Hey Gracie, good day?" He asked as he pulled me on to his knee, I smiled in an attempt to hide my guilt,

"It was fine" I replied simply.

"Why don't you go in to the break room"Jay suggested "I think Al's in there, I'm sure he'll get you a snack if you ask nicely" he said as I jumped off of his knee and walked in to the break room, leaving my backpack at my brothers desk.

"Gracie" Al greeted me as I sat at the table,

"Hey Al" I greeted "please could you get me a snack?" I asked sweetly. He laughed as he walked to put his coffee mug in the sink,

"What makes you think I have snacks?" He asked amused,

"Jay said so" I simply replied causing Al to raise his eyebrows amused,

"Here" he said as he threw an apple in my direction,

"An apple?" I frowned,

"Yep" he said as he went to leave the room "one of your five a day."

Great. I stared at my apple contemplating if I would eat it. I mean, who gives an apple to an 8 year old as a snack?! Maybe Jay would let me get something from the vending machine. Deciding that I would much rather do that then eat the apple Al gave me, I made my way back out of the break room and over to my brothers desk.

"Jayyyyyy" I asked, trying to sound as sweet as possible,

"Yessss" he replied, mimicking my tone

"Can I get something from the vending machine?" I asked with my best puppy eyes.

"I thought Al gave you an apple?" He replied with a raised eyebrow,

"He did!" I sighed "but I'm not a rabbit!" I exclaimed throwing my arms in the air. Everyone laughed,

"I'm not sure rabbits eat apples Gracie" Kevin replied from his desk causing me to roll my eyes. Just then Voight walked up the stairs,

"What's going on?" He asked,

"I'm hungry and Jay wont let me get anything from the vending machine" I huffed,

"Don't I pay you enough to feed the kid Halstead?" Voight asked my now frustrated looking brother who rolled his eyes at his boss,
