Gracies POV (6 Years Old)

"Ok, remember what I said?" Jay asked me for the millionth time and I huffed,

"I know Jay" I complained but stopped when I saw the look he gave me in the rearview mirror "be on my best behaviour and do everything I'm told to" I repeated "jeez" I muttered as Jay pulled his truck to a stop outside of firehouse 51,

"I mean it Gracie" he turned towards me "you could just as easily come to work with me and sit in the break room all day" he threatened "if I get a phone call saying you're not behaving then I'm gonna have to come get you and I won't be too happy about it" he lectured and I nodded. Jay jumped out of the truck and opened the back door for me to also jump out. We walked hand in hand up the driveway and saw Kelly and a few others sitting at the squad table,

"Hey Jay" he greeted "hey squirt" he smiled to me and I smiled back at him,

"Hey Kelly" my brother greeted "thanks for watching her" he said "she could come to the district with me but we're super swamped at the minute and she get's bored there real quick" he explained,

"No worries man" Kelly shook his head "there's enough big kids here to keep her entertained for a while, isn't that right Gracie" he asked me and I giggled and nodded in reply "why don't you go on inside, I'm pretty sure that there are some pancakes to be had" he informed me and I looked up at Jay who nodded,

"Bye Jay" I said as I gave him a quick hug before darting off in to the communal area,

"Hey Gracie" Mouch greeted from his place on the couch "how's my favourite Halstead doing today?" He asked and I smiled back at him,

"I'm good" I replied and he nodded with a smile,

"That's great" he replied,

"You hungry kiddo?" Peter Mills asked me from his place in the kitchen "I got some fresh pancakes that are nearly done" he offered and I nodded gratefully,

"Hey, I thought the next batch where for me" Herrmann complained,

"But then Gracie came and won me over with her cuteness" Mills replied making me giggle,

"That's unfair, there's no way I can compete with that" he insisted as he ruffled my hair slightly.

I sat at the table with Otis and Cruz as I ate my pancakes happily and once I was done I took my empty plate back to the kitchen and in to the sink,

"Thank you for the pancakes" I thanked Peter as I had always been told to and he smiled down at me,

"You're very welcome" he replied "I'm gonna try and bake some brownies later if you wanna help me?" He asked and I nodded enthusiastically,

"Yes please" I smiled "I've only ever done baking with Hailey and Kim because Will and Jay are rubbish at it" I told him and he laughed "please can I go on my Nintendo?" I asked him,

"You'll have to ask Kelly that one kiddo, I don't know the rules" he admitted and I nodded as I walked over to Kelly who was stood talking to Casey by one of the trucks,

"Kelly" I said in a bid to get his attention "can I go on my Nintendo please?" I asked hopefully,

"Sure" he nodded "but your brother said no more than an hour" he told me and I nodded happily, already knowing the rule, before returning to the main room and fishing my Nintendo Switch out of my backpack.

I climbed up on to the couch and turned on my game that just so happened to be Mario Kart, my favourite,

"Hey Gracie" Otis greeted "whatcha playing?" He asked as he sat down next to me,
