Gracies POV (5 Years Old)

"No" I stated firmly as I sat on the sofa with a firm frown and my arms folded over my chest,

"Gracelyn" Jay said firmly "get your shoes on or we're gonna be late" he said for the thousandth time but I shook my head defiantly "one" he began to count "two" he continued "are you gonna let me get to three?" He asked with a raised eyebrow and my frown faltered slightly but my stance still remained firm "three" he finished "right c'mere" he instructed as he moved to grab my arm but I snuck under it with my hands covering my butt for protection,

"Fine I'm doing it" I squealed and he sighed,

"Right, quickly" he instructed and I slipped on my shoes with a huff. Without another word said, Jay lead me out of the apartment and we walked to the restaurant.

"Why do I have to go to this stupid thing anyway?" I asked as I slumped down the road with Jay,

"Because it's a nice thing to do Gracie" he explained "people come to see you when it's your birthday don't they" he said and I frowned,

"I don't ask them to" I mumbled and Jay squeezed my hand slightly,

"Ey. Don't talk like that Gracelyn" he scolded "you weren't raised to be ungrateful" he said and I huffed in annoyance.

We eventually arrived at this fairly fancy looking restaurant and I could see most of 51, Med and the PD sitting inside along with Will who had come straight from work.

We walked in to the restaurant and I let go of Jays hand to walk over to Will,

"Will, can we go home?" I asked and he raised an amused eyebrow at me in amusement,

"Excuse me?" He asked with a confused smile,

"Gracie" Jay said from behind me "we've already talked about this" he reminded "go and wish Stella a happy birthday and give her this" he told me as he held out a gift bag and card,

"Why can't you do it?" I complained and he sent me a stern glare,

"Because I told you to do it" he replied and I groaned again "now Gracie" he said firmer. I took the bag from his hands and walked over to Stella who was sat in between Kelly and Sylvie,

"Hey, my favourite Halstead's here" she exclaimed as I plastered a smile on my face,

"Happy birthday" I said as she pulled me in for a hug and I handed her the gift bag and card,

"Thanks hunny" she smiled,

"I love your dress Gracie" Sylvie said as she felt the fabric on my skirt,

"Thank you" I replied "I wanted my hair in braids but only Will knows how to do those. Jay just makes 'em look messy" I stated and the three of them laughed,

"Well I think your hair looks pretty just as it is" Stella said and I blushed slightly.

I decided to stay as far away from my brothers as I possibly could and groaned when I saw Will beckoning me over to him,

"Can I sit with Adam and Kim?" I asked,

"That's fine as long as you behave ok?" He asked and I made no attempt at replying before I ran back over to Adam and Kim.

Everyone was busy having there own conversations and I was growing more impatient by the second. I sat kicking my legs back and forth in an attempt to entertain myself but suddenly stopped when I saw the look Jay was sending me across the table. With an annoyed whine I crossed my arms and put my head on the table, hiding my face from everyone. I felt a hand squeeze my shoulder slightly so I turned my head to the side to see who it was, still keeping my head on the table. Will bent over me with one hand on the back of my chair and one on the table,
