Halstead Sister One Shots

Monsters

AN! Here's a little bit of a fluffy one with Gracie and Jay! Everybody seemed to love the chapter I did entitled 'Reading' so I decided to do something similar with Jay. When I write these stories I always intended for Jay to be the stricter brother out of the two of them but I realised that I rarely write him being softer with Gracie, which in my mind happens way more than the negative/discipline one shots! So here we are!

Gracies POV (5 Years Old)

"It's really dark Will. What if the monsters get us?" I asked nervously as Will and I walked down the street towards Molly's,

"There's no such thing as monsters kiddo" Will assured,

"There is!" I exclaimed "there was one under the bed the other night at bedtime and Jay had to get rid of it!" I told him,

"That was a spider Gracie" he replied,

"It was as big as a monster!" I stated "a spider monster" I told him making him shake his head.

"I promise you Gracie, there are no monsters" he assured once again,

"Is Jay coming?" I asked as we rounded the corner to our destination,

"He's gonna come to pick you up when he finishes work" he explained as we walked up the front steps and in to the building.

"Ayyyy, If it isn't the Halstead's" Maggie smiled "how're you Gracie?" She asked with a wide smile.

"Will made me walk here and he didn't even care that we could've been eaten by monsters" I stated,

"Monsters?" She asked and I nodded seriously "well I'm glad you made it here alive" she sympathised.

"Hey sweetie pie" April smiled and I turned around to give her a big hug,

"Will said that you're gonna get married" I told her and her smile grew,

"I am" she said as she showed me her hand with her engagement ring on her ring finger,

"That's so pretty" I told her,

"Not as pretty as you're gonna look in your flower girl dress" she told me matter of factly making my eyes widen,

"Really?" I asked and she nodded,

"I'm not getting married without my favourite little girl by my side" she assured,

"Will" I squealed as I ran over to where he was stood at the bar getting served by Herrmann "April said I'm gonna be her flower girl" I told him making him smile,

"That's amazing" he exclaimed "I hope you said thank you" he added and I instantly turned back to April,

"Thank you April" I said,

"You are more than welcome" she replied as I bounced around excitedly.

"Can I have Coke?" I asked once I turned back towards Will,

"Sorry kiddo it's too late at night to have Coke" he replied,

"Aww" I complained "please" I pleaded,

"You're not having Coke" he repeated "why don't you choose something else?" He suggested as he picked me up and held me on his hip. I shook my head with a frown as I hid my face in the crook of his neck,

"Hey squirt" Herrmann spoke from behind the bar "how about I make you your own special drink" he suggested "I promise you'll like it" he assured and I nodded in agreement "is she ok to have some juice?" He asked my brother who nodded,

"Yeah" he confirmed allowing Herrmann to get to work. A minute later he returned with an orange coloured drink with a straw,

"Here you go" he said as he handed it to me "one Gracie special." I took a sip of the drink and smiled "does it pass the test?" He asked and I instantly nodded,
