Gracies POV (5 Years Old)

Today was the day of the CPD family picnic. Will was at work but me and Jay still came to join in the fun.

"Gracie" I heard Jay call me over from the bouncy house but I ignored him "Gracelyn" he repeated in a firmer tone and I turned to look at him innocently "if I see you do that again you're straight off there. You're gonna hurt yourself" he warned but I turned around and ignored him. I'm only trying to practice my flips! I waited to see if Jays attention had moved off of me before continuing with what I was doing only to land awkwardly and stumble off the side and on to the floor. I yelped out in more surprise than pain as I felt a sob rising in my throat and tears begin to pour from my eyes.

"What happened kiddo?" I heard someone ask and looked up to see Trudy crouching down next to me,

"I fell off of there" I sobbed and she helped me off the floor and dusted my dress off,

"Well, what'd you do that for?" She jokes lightly making me sniffle "let's see if we can find your brother" she suggested as her eyes scanned the crowd "there he is" she said and took my hand to lead me over to him "Halstead" she spoke to get my brothers attention,

"What happened?" My brother asked with a frown as I dropped Trudy's hand and held my arms up for Jay to pick me up,

"I fell off the bouncy house and landed on the ground" I explained tearfully,

"She's not injured" Trudy assured "I think it just shocked her" she added and Jay nodded,

"Thanks Trudy" Jay said with a smiled as he rubbed soothing circles on my back "and that's why I told you to stop doing that" he chastised lightly as my sobs still wracked though my body "c'mon, you're ok" he assured as he carried me over to the table where he had been sat with Hailey, Adam and Kim.

"What's up Graciekins?" Adam asked when he saw my tear streaked face, but I hid my face in Jay's neck,

"She fell off the bouncy house" Jay told him "she's fine it just shocked her I think" he added and Adam nodded in understanding.

"Hey Gracie, wanna come with me to get some ice cream?" Hailey asked and my tears subsided,

"Can I Jay?" I asked looking up at him and he smiled back at me, wiping a few tears from my cheeks in the process.

"If you want to" he agreed "stay with Hailey and no wandering off" he told me as I shuffled off of his knee and took Haileys outstretched hand.

"So what's your favourite ice cream flavour?" Hailey asked me,

"Bubblegum!" I exclaimed definitely causing her to chuckle,

"Great choice" she agreed "although I've always been a strawberry girl myself" she added,

"Hailey look!" I screeched as I pulled her over to a table that was doing face painting "can I have my face painted?" I asked hopefully "please" I added with the best puppy eyes I could muster,

"Sure" she agreed happily. I sat down on the chair and the kind lady gave me a book to choose a design on. I eventually chose the flamingo and sat patiently whilst the lady painted it on my face.
