Warnings: Kidnapping and Rape implied *no details*
Y/n Casey was raised by her aunt since she was born. Matt never knew his little sister existed till she was saved by Kelly in a house fire. Matt and his aunt had rarely seen each other, which meant that y/n had never met Casey, yet when Kelly seen the 5 year old girl, he instantly thought she looked a lot like the lieutenant. Y/n had clung to squads Captain after he had brought her to safety, and refused to leave Severide while Brett and Dawson tried to look her over. When it was time to take y/ to med for evaluation, Kelly winded up travelling with them at the back of the ambulance, with the young girl falling asleep on his chest on the way. The captain grew soft for the girl sleeping in his arms, and he knew he wouldn’t be able to leave this call behind. His thoughts were proven as his heart pulled at y/n’s screams as he went to leave her. She only let him leave when he gave her his beanie, with the promise of coming back after shift.
Thankfully young y/n had winded up with only small amounts of smoke inhalation, and was left in the hospital overnight before being discharged. Unfortunately, her aunt wasn’t so lucky, and she winded up dying three days later in the hospital. With no one else in the young girls life, y/n, had to be left to the system ,where she would either be adopted or fostered. Kelly had held her when he was told the news, and as he held her as she cried, something in him didn’t want her to be taken to the system, so he asked April to do some blood tests to see if there were any matches on the systems. Convincing the nurse was easy due to her having a soft place for kids, and after a quick run to the lab, they found out that the 5 year old was a match to Matt.
Matt was shocked when he was told he had a little sister, and went to confront his mother who admitted to having another baby after she murdered her husband. She had found out after being sentenced to prison and knew that prison was no place to raise a baby. Matt was hurt that his mother never told him or his sister, so decided to visit the young girl to know her. With him being a practical stranger to the young girl, he brought Kelly with him, who had been visiting the young girl on his own time.
"Kelly." The young girl shouted in delight, running over to the firefighter. "Hey, kid, how are you?" Kelly smiled, squatting down to allow y/n to run into his arms before picking her up, her legs wrapping around her waist as she perched on his front. She giggled before seeing the stranger who was standing beside him, shying into Kelly's shoulder slightly. "Y/n, this is Matt, he works with me." Kelly introduced Matt to the young girl and Matt smiled softly at the girl, "Matt, this is y/n." "Hi there." Matt smiled, waving slightly at the girl. "Y/n, Matt needs to talk to you about something important okay?" Kelly stated, looking down at the girl who kept her head on his shoulder. Y/n nodded and moved as Kelly sat down on her temporary bed before sitting on his lap, and Matt crouched in front of them. "Y/n I know you don't know me but I am your brother. My aunt, the woman who you believed is your mommy, took you in after you were born. I didn't know about you until now. And if it's okay, I would like to take you in and care for you." Matt tried to not overwhelm the 5 year old as she looked at him with confusion. "I have a brother?" Y/n asked innocently, looking at Matt before moving her head up to look at Kelly. "Yeah, and Matt wants you to go home with him. Are you okay with that?" Kelly spoke, nodding his head. "Will I see you again?" She whimpered, tears building in her eyes. "Sure will Kid. Can't get rid of me that easily." Kelly joked, poking her side so she would giggle. "You can see him whenever you like. And you can meet the rest of firehouse if you like." Matt explained, wanting the girl to be comfortable around him.
And with that, y/n moved in with her brother. It was rocky at first, with y/n being so shy around him and avoiding him whenever Kelly was around. Kelly had signed on as her second guardian, but slowly she warmed up to her brother and Casey quickly grew into the parenting roll. With the help of firehouse 51, the lieutenant managed to raise the young girl into the young woman she was today, though Casey and y/n’s relationship neve grew quite as close as Kelly and her, but Casey wasn’t okay with that as he knew Kelly would always watch out for the girl.
--
Kelly leaned against squads truck, watching for a certain 17 year old to come walking in with her brother. It was a weekend, and with Casey’s 24hr shift, the girl often came to hang out with the firehouse squad so she wasn’t alone all day. It wasn’t uncommon for y/n to wind up falling asleep in Kelly or Caseys office, but ultimately Casey allowed her the freedom to stay at their apartment on her own at night, provided she texted him when she arrived home. Generally the morning before their shift y/n would text Kelly, but having not heard from the Casey girl, Kelly was anxious to see her. Yet his attention was drawn to the truck that pulled up across from the road, only one head in view.
“Where’s y/n Casey?” Kelly called out to the Lieutenant as he walked across the road. “She’s not been home. Stayed with friends last night.” Casey stated, holding the strap of his bag over his shoulder. “You not collect her on the way? I haven’t heard from her all morning.” Kelly asked, crossing his arms over his chest as Casey stopped in front of him. “Geez Kelly, relax. She’ll be here soon. You worry too much.” Casey chuckled lightly as he hit Kelly’s shoulder in a joking way. "Well it isn’t like her to not text.” Kelly defended himself. “I appreciate your concern for her, but trust me, she’s fine. Time gets away from her when she’s with friends.” Casey smiled, placing a hand on Kelly’s shoulder before looking up as the bell went off before the two rushed off.
-----
The call had winded up with a bad outcome. An abandoned house where teens had parties had winded up catching on fire, and there had been multiple casualties, three had been found charred, with 8 winding up in hospital with serious injuries. Intelligence were treating this as a party gone wrong, with evidence of multiple flammable options being found after examining the scene. Each firefighter hung their heads as they arrived back to 51, and Boden called a meeting to check up on everyone.
Kelly and Casey opted to head outside to smoke a cigar after the case. It was midday when they were sitting on top of firehouse 51, and Kelly looked down the street to see a figure slowly walking towards them, arms folded as they hunched over themselves. Y/n was yet to turn up, so Kelly stood up, hoping to see y/n’s face. He hit Caseys chest when she recognized the girl, before moving to get down from the roof, meeting y/n halfway.
“Y/n where the hell were you?” Casey snapped before Kelly had a chance to open his mouth. “With friends.” Y/n muttered, avoiding the two men’s vision. “That was last night. You told me you’d be here by the time shift starts. Yet you rock up after lunch, what’s up with that?” Casey spoke harshly, and Kelly glared at him. Casey please.” The young girl pleaded, moving around them to head into the house. “No y/n, where were you?” Casey pushed, grabbing y/n’s arm harshly. “Hey, Casey, stop.” Kelly interfered when he seen y/n flinch away from her brother. “Get off me.” Y/n pleaded, pulling her arm away from her brother. “No, y/n, tell me where you were.” “I wasn’t at friends last night.” Y/n muttered, causing Kelly and Casey to look at her. “I’m sorry?” Casey questioned with a raised eyebrow. Y/n looked at Kelly slightly, and his eyes softened as he seen her broken sight. “Kelly, leave us be while I talk to my sister.” Casey stated to his fellow firefighter who took a glance between the siblings before leaning to Casey. “Go easy, listen to her before snapping.” Kelly warned Casey before moving to y/n, wrapping an arm over her shoulders and kissing her head before leaving the siblings be. “Kelly.” Y/n whispered. “My office y/n.” Casey spoke harshly, stepping out of the way for y/n to go first.
---------------------
“You gonna tell me where you were?” Casey asked his sister once he closed the door. “I dunno if I can.” Y/n muttered, causing Casey to sigh and rub his forehead. “Y/n I am tired okay. We’ve had a bad case and I am not in the mood for cat and mouse. SO just tell me where you are alright. It’s that easy.” Casey stated harshly, swinging his arm out, causing y/n to flinch. “no.” Y/n whimpered, flinching back at her brothers harsh movements. “Enough of the flinching. Where were you?” Casey snapped, rolling his eyes at his sisters antics. “Stop.” Y/n begged, tears welling up in her eyes. “I was kidnapped.” Y/n muttered, yet Casey heard it. “Don’t lie to me.” Casey snapped. “I’m not.” Y/n cried. “The truth y/n.” “I was kidnapped, I was raped Why won’t you believe me?” Y/n cried out, covering her face with her hands. “Cause if you were kidnapped, you wouldn’t be here.” Casey explained, moving closer to his sister. “Matt please..” Y/n begged, crying harder. “Get out of my sight. Come back when you choose to tell the truth instead of some sick lies.” Casey spoke, opening the door to his office. “I’m telling the truth.” “Do you have any idea how many people go through what your insinuating y/n. I can’t believe you would make that up.” Casey spoke abruptly, causing y/n to look down in tears. Casey please.” Y/n begged, wanting her brother. “Now y/n.” Casey finished, pointing out the door for y/n to leave.
Y/n hung her head as she walked out of the office, ignoring the looks of Cruz and Hermann as they walked by Casey’s office.
Let me know guys. I'm hoping to get back into writing so what would u like to see
Info: The youngest Reagan has always been protected from the crimes that her family faced, but sometimes being away from it is inevitable
Relationship: Reagan family x reagan reader
Warning: Mentions of school shooting
Series masterlist
Based on early season
25 year old y/n Reagan was the youngest of Commissioner Frank Reagans kids. Being the youngest her family cared for her deeply. Her life was slightly different than those of her family, being a high school teacher was something she always wanted to do. The family line of cops and army life never appealed to her, so like her sister she steered clear of that workforce. She remembered her beloved deceased brother Joe letting her hold his unloaded gun, and she hated the feel of it. She didn't like the thought of having t put a bullet into someone, even when it was to protect someone else. Y/n thought PE and Biology as well as coached the girls baseball team (one she fought for when she first joined the school) every Wednesday afterschool.
She was closest with her gramps, they often played chess together and many a night Frank would come home from work and see his father and daughter sitting in the living room watching friends ( though if anyone asked Henry would strongly deny it). Her pops often joined her for the coaching sessions before heading back to his where he would cook dinner before she left back to hers.
She was the younger sister that Linda always wished for, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see y/n helping her sister in law around the house or cooking, and Linda always made sure to make time to help y/n get her class room ready for the school year.
Y/n was quiet compared to her older siblings, and because of that Danny had always been overprotective of her. He didn't like her being around cases the family worked on, and often kept her away from the conversations if she could, making dinner conversations of cases short when she was present. Many a time he would meet her for coffee during the week, or bring her some lunch when he had a case that reminded him of her. He made sure that y/n would always text when she was home if she was out late or if a criminal was on the lose.
Jamie had made it a habit to sit down and have drinks with her after a tough day. Despite being there to help her brother, y/n was never told of his day and what lead to him becoming so stressed, which frustrated her but she accepted it none the less.
Being the only two girls of a family of boys, Erin and y/n often spent Sundays doing something together before church and family dinner. Their schedule prevented them from spending much time together so when they could, they would leave for a week, Nikki joining them, and head somewhere they hadn't been before to explore.
Her family always looked after her, and father was no exception. Frank always made sure to check up on her, regardless on what went on that day. He knew the school shootings happening in America effected her, and wanted to make sure that she knew she was safe and nothing would happen to her. He even went so far to make sure that the Reagan family saying 'please don't hurt my family' was drilled in her head. She was well protected and always had someone watching her back.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Reagan family at at the dinner table at Henry and Franks for their weekly Sunday family dinner after church. Y/n sat beside her dad and Erin, picking at her food as she half listened to her family talking about the recent increase of school shootings around the town. Too focused in her own thoughts, she jumped when she was elbowed before glaring at Erin in annoyance.
"Oww, what?" Y/n snapped at her sister before whipping her head to face her dad as he raised a finger in warning.
"Gramps was asking what's wrong with you, your not eating much." Erin stated, tilting her head to the side slightly.
"Sorry Gramps, just thoughts spiraling around my head. Classes have been busy with assessments and we had a practice session today." Y/n explained, watching as her family turned their attention to her, Danny eyeing her with slight concern.
"Teachers have a busy schedule? I always thought they just gave us work and went home to rest." Sean stated causing y/n to laugh slightly.
"Well if you consider grading papers, correcting homework, teaching kids new material, planning classes and making sure that you are all ready for the real world easy, than yeah it's a job for lots of rest." Y/n explained causing Jack to laugh at his brother playfully.
"But compared to dads job it's easy right?" Sean asked, looking towards his aunt.
"Every job is difficult in it's own way Sean, no one has an easier job than anyone else. It may seem like it to you but I'm sure dealing with kids on the daily ain't easy. I mean I only have you and Jack and sometimes I struggle with it." Linda explained to her son.
"So you don't just rest?" Sean asked, second guessing everything he thought.
"God I wish." Y/n stated, stabbing her meat and taking a bite as everyone laughed at her reaction.
"As opposed to your very busy schedule. Everything will work out in the end y/n, your a great teacher and those kids are lucky to have you as their mentor through life." Frank stated, putting a hand on his youngest daughters shoulder as she chuckled lightly.
"Mentor through life, way to be dramatic dad." y/n laughed, taking her glass of wine and taking a sip.
"You seem to forget he's commissioner of police y/n, dramatic is in the job description." Jamie stated and everyone laughed once again.
Y/n shook her head as she laughed with her family, glad to have them around her. She glanced in front of her to see Danny looking at her with a small smile. He winked at her in assurance before taking a bite of his food, and y/n smiled at him before looking down at her plate o continue her own food. Grabbing her glass of wine, she smirked at her pops when he mentioned about needing a rematch on the chess game they had played last week.
"Didn't y/n win that one?" Nikki asked, smirking at y/n who nodded her head in appreciation.
"Nah, I was going easy on her." Henry stated, taking a drink from his own glass.
"Nah, your gramps is just a sore loser, I won fair and square right Jack." Y/n asked, glancing at the boy who had watched their game.
"Right." Jack nodded causing everyone to laugh once again.
----------------------------------------------
The following day y/n was teaching her regular PE class, and she watched the group of students as they started to run laps of the court. Hearing footsteps outside the door, she folded her arms and turned her head to the sound. Deciding to check it our, she made her way over to the door, ready to give out to students ditching class, only to see no one. Squinting her eyes in confusion, Ms. Reagan made her way back into the hall, clapping her hands to gain the students attention.
"Alright guys, grab some balls and were gonna do volleyball. One on one." She announced, grabbing the net full of soft balls before placing it in the middle of the floor, allowing students to grab them and pair up. "The rules are...."
Y/n was interrupted by an echoing bang being heard, causing the students to look around the hall. Hearing it again, closer than before, the students flinch at the sound. Y/n's eyes widened as she realized the sound, the sound of a gun. She looked around the hall before seeing the storage unit, knowing it wasn't exactly spacious but she needed to figure out something before the person responsible for the shots found them. They couldn't stay in the hall it was way too open.
"Alright, everyone be calm, we need to find somewhere to hide, no need to panic, just follow me into the storage unit, keep your heads low, does everyone understand me." Y/n explained slowly, indicating for everyone to crouch down, "Treat it like the ones we practiced. Hid behind anything in there, I will lock and block the door once everyone is in there, it's going to be a tight squeeze but make it work."
Y/n watched the students eyes widen in fear as they realized what was happening. Shushing the students who whimpered, and knowing they didn't have much time to waste, she began pushing students towards the unit. Students began to follow each other and y/n ran towards the door to lock it and grabbed the bag which had held the balls to make it more difficult for the shooter to determine people were present.
Upon making it to the unit she locked the door and ordered students to grab some of the ridiculously heavy gym mats to barricade it, blocking the windows that would risk exposure. She sighed deeply and watched students huddle close to their friends, sliding down the mats to be close to the door.
"Okay guys, I know you have phones on you. I need you to contact those who need to know what's going on and put them on silent. Do not tell anyone where you are hiding, we do not know who or where they are, but they may have someone's phone or be able to track our phones, understood." Y/n whispered sternly, trying to keep everyone, and herself, calm.
Y/n grabbed the laptop left at the side of the storage unit for emergencies and checked to see if any emails was out about what was going on. She knew it was only a matter of time till one, or both, f her brothers would catch wind of what was going on and would make their way to aid, her father would no doubt follow. She just needed to keep her students safe and sane until help arrived.
-------------------------------
Danny sat at his desk as he worked on some paperwork with Jackie after finishing another case. Turning to his computer he began to look at some evidence from labs when something came over the radio.
"School shooting in operation, Location: Local high school, All units available please respond. Armed forces are required." A dispatcher announced causing Danny's eyes to widen in shock before jumping up.
"Danny, what's up?." Jackie asked, concerned for her partners sudden movement as she also got up.
"Y/n teaches there." He responded, grabbing his gun and putting it in it's holster and clipping his badge in a rush before taking his car keys.
"That's where y/n teaches?" Jackie asked, also getting up and grabbing her gun and badge.
"Yep, now let's go." Danny ordered, before rushing out of the office, Jackie rushing to keep up with him.
"Detective Curatola and Detective Reagan on route to shooting." Jackie reported back to dispatch as she got in the car just in time for Danny to speed off, sirens blaring.
--------------------------------------------------
Jamie and officer Renzulli sat in their patrol car, watching the city in the corner while eating their lunch. Jamie bit into his sandwich as he listened to his mentor explain his recent dilemma with his wife before stopping as they heard the car radio cackle to life.
"All available units please respond. School shooting in operation, Location: local high school. Armed forces are required."
"Shit." Jamie cursed, pushing his lunch onto the floor , not caring where it went as he heard the school name.
"What's the stress for Reagan, call us in." Officer Renzulli stated, pointing at the radio as he started the car.
"Officer Reagan and Officer Renzulli available on route." Jamie called into the radio before putting on the sirens and answering his mentors question "My sister works there."
"Erin, isn't she a lawyer."
"No my other sister y/n. Can't we go any faster." Jamie asked, agitated to get there.
"I'm going, I'm going. Don't worry I'm sure she'll be in a safe place, don't schools to training for these type of things."
"Yeah, but you and I both know training is nothing like an actual scenario." Jamie explained, not in the mood to be talking.
"True that." Renzulli agreed, realizing Jamie didn't want to talk any more.
-----------------------------------------------
Frank sat in his office, currently in his latest monthly meeting with the fire commissioner. He loved being commissioner but sometimes these meetings seemed to drag on. He sighed and rubbed his forehead in frustration before his office door opened and Baker came through.
"Baker." Frank stated, looking up at his receptionist.
"Sorry commissioner, emergency within the police districts, dispatch has been asking for any available units to respond to the situation. Said armed forces were required for a school shooting." Baker relayed information to her boss who watched her in thought.
"Oh God." The fire commissioner swore under his breath causing Frank to glance his way before returning his gaze to Baker.
"What school?" He asked, trying to hide the lump formed in his throat."
"The local high school sir." Baker replied, watching as the commissioner took a deep breath and look down, head in his hands.
"Baker, call for a car. I don't need a driver, just the car." Frank ordered softly as he refused to look at anyone.
"Sir?" The woman asked confused, " You can't go, commissioners don't respond to shootings."
"Baker I didn't ask for your input I asked for a car. I need to get there and I don't care how, just find a way." Frank stated sternly, looking ahead of him.
"But sir."
"Baker, my daughter works there and I need to be there to see what's happening, so get me a car and tell them that the commissioner is on his way." Frank ordered, standing up and putting his hands on the table in front of him, looking at her finally.
"Right away sir." Baker responded, knowing no Reagan would take no when it's family involved.
"I'm sorry commissioner but we will need to postpone this meeting." Frank stated, looking at his fellow commissioner as he opened the drawer which contained his gun and badge.
"Don't sweat it sir, I pray for your daughters safety."
"Thank you."
Frank nodded is head at his fellow commissioner and left the office. He sighed in sorrow as thought of his youngest daughter being held hostage in school with a bunch of students under her protection and opted to text her 'y/n, be calm, you will be okay, we will get you and the students out safe'. As the car arrived for him he got into the back before it came to full halt and sat impatiently as they made their way to the scene.

Feeling a little nervous publishing this with what it surrounds
… I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than
Y/n Halstead laughed as she and her friends spoke of one of them nearly fainting at the sight of fake blood around a life like dummy which portrayed a scene.
"You know you won't be able to do that if you work on an actual scene right." Y/n stated to her friend who just rolled her eyes. "Listen, I had an off day alright, I can handle blood." Her friend stated, throwing her hands in front of her in exasperation. "Sure you can." Y/n agreed with a laugh as they reached the corner they split up at.
Y/n waved at her three friends as she watched them cross the road before turning down to the alleyway which lead to her apartment. She sighed and threw her hands in her pockets to protect them from the cold when she was suddenly grabbed from behind. She screamed and clawed at the arm which surrounded her throat, trying to escape. She gasped in pain as she was pushed against the concrete wall.
… Body, let me see your body Take off all your makeup and your clothes Trust me, why don't you just trust me? You're the only beauty, show me more
"Shut it and this will end quickly?" A rough voice spoke to her, grabbing her bag and throwing it away from her. "Please, leave me alone, take my money, my phone, anything, just please, dont hurt me" y/n begged as she tried to fight him. "Shut up, I dont want nothing off you, dont want to hear you." He stated as he pushed her head to the wall and tried to get rid of her jeans. "No please no, stop please." She cried, trying to kick only to be forced onto the ground.
She screamed as he continued his assault on her.
… You're not a dime a dozen Oh, your skin is golden Let me show the whole damn world You're one in a billion The only thing you're missin' Is some tape over that mouth.
Y/n cried as she stayed lying on the ground, refusing to move as the unknown guy got off of her. She placed her hands over her head as a source of protection, preventing her from seeing who it was.
"Dont fucking move till I'm gone." The guy told her, pulling her hair so her head was off the ground before leaving her.
Y/n cried as she lay on the ground, unable to move with the pain she felt. Slowly, she reached for her Jean's as sits up, winching at any small movement. After sorting herself out she just sat on ground, head down crying. She looked up when heard footsteps, half afraid it was her attacker coming back.
She looked away when she realized it was her neighbour who crouched down in front of her. Turning her attention back to the woman in front of her, she watched as she spoke, unable to hear anything over the ringing in her ears. She jumped when she felt a hand on her shoulder, before looking down in shame as she refused to look at woman in front of her.
"Hello ambulance please, there's a young girl in distress here, looks like attacked. Thank you."
Y/n glanced in the direction of her woman when she heard the word ambulance. Afraid to startle her, the woman kept her distance as they waited before flagging down ambulance when the sirens were heard. The woman walked towards Sylvie and Mills as they get out and go towards her before nodding and grabbing their back board and medical supplies bag. As they tried to help y/n started to fight them, not seeing clearly on who it was.
"No, please no." Y/n cried, afraid of someone touching her. "She's in too much distress, we need to sedate her." Sylvie stated to Mills who nods and grabs the needle from the bag. "Please, I don't want them to know, please." Y/n mumbled as she started to drift unconscious.
… Body, I'm more than my body You can pack your things up, buh bye, just go Body, I'm more than my body Don't owe you a thing, no, not at all
"What we got?" Maggie called out as sylvie and Mills wheel y/n into med. "20 year old female, found in alleyway close to apartment, likely to be assaulted, had to be sedated as she was distraught when we got there, found by woman who says her name is y/n" Mills recited as Maggie, Ethan and Conor help bring the patient to trauma bay. "y/n?" Ethan asks as he recognizes who it is. "Bring will down, tell him its his sister." Conor stated to Maggie after moving y/n from the board. "Also call Natalie, if she has been assaulted we may need to do rape test." Ethan told the head nurse. "On it." Maggie nodded before pulling the curtain and heading to her desk, paging Will on her way.
… I'm not a toy to play with Not just a sight to see and My mind is worth its weight in gold I'm not a dime a dozen I know I'm worth this, more than You will ever know
Will rushed down into the ER after getting paged. She looks around to see that the ER wasn't that busy and his patients had no change in them. Glancing around, he sees Maggie at the nurses station and rushes towards her in confusion.
"I was paged" He asked her when he reached the area. Maggi looks at him before nodding her head towards the staff area. "Maggie what is going on?" Will asked impatiently when Maggie wouldn't answer him. "Will, I need you to remain calm alright." Maggie stated, putting her hands up in front of her in a calming motion. "Maggie what is it?" Will asked impatiently. "Will, your sister came in via ambulance today." "Y/n, what, where is she? Is she okay?" Will asked, pushing past Maggie to enter the ER to look for his sister. "Will wait, she's unconscious right now but Connor and Ethan are looking over her now alright. Look, she's in bay 4 but for now hang tight." Maggie tried to explain as Will ran a hand through his hair. "Can I see her? Maggie I need to see her." "Will you can't see her right now, not until she's cleared for visitors you know the drill. She's an adult and therefore doesn't need supervision." "Maggie..." "Will try it and I will have you off the floor for the rest of shift." Maggie warned, pointing a finger at him.
Will sighs and sits on couch, putting hands on his face, rubbing his eyes in frustration. Maggie rubbed his shoulder in encouragement before leaving to work on more papers.
Touch me, you just want to feel me You just want to share me You don't care at all Trust you, why don't I just trust you? You just want to use me Now I know Body, I'm more than my body You will never get me, buh bye, just go
Y/n groaned when light shone into her eyes, blinking rapidly as sge turns her head only to see a heart monitor. Her eyes widen as she realizes where she is and sits up rapidly. She groaned when she seen the drip in her arm before snapping her head to the door when footsteps were heard. Ethan came into her view and she watched cautisly.
"Hey, your awake." He smiled, staying near the door in case. She smiled weakly, wringing her hands together. "I'm going to call Natalie, she's going to be taking care of you, I'm glad to see you awake."
Y/n stares ahead of her as memories of what happened to her replays in her head. Tears come to her eyes as she realizes it had actually happened and wasn't just a bad dream. She jumps when she hears nock on glass, seeing Natalie come into the room.
"Sorry" Natalie spoke sympathetically, " how you feeling y/n?" Natalie smiled softly as she walked in. Y/n shrugs and looks down slightly. Natalie clears her throat and moves towards the bed. "I'm just going to check you over, is that okay?" Natalie asked, waiting for y/n to nod hesitantly before moving closer. The two stayed in silence as y/ns vitals were checked, y/n watching with glossy eyes. "Alright, your all good, I just have some questions I need to ask you, alright?" Y/n nodded, glancing up at the doctor. "You had to be sedated due to being in distress, can you tell me why that was?" Natalie asked. Y/n shrugged and remained silent. "Y/n I just need to know so I can help you. Did somebody hurt you?" Natalie asked again, trying to get an answer from the younger Halstead. Y/n looked up and over Natalie's shoulder to see Will looking over at where she was being treated. "Y/n please, I can't help you if you don't tell me, did somebody touch you?" Natalie asked again, desperate to help the girl she had known since she was 16. That's all it took for y/n to burst out crying. "Y/n, what happened?" Natalie asked, coming closer and pulling y/n into a hug. Y/n choked in tears as she clung to Natalie. "Y/n, I need to do a rape test on you? Do you consent to that?" Y/n froze as Natalie said the word she dreaded to hear or say, realizing that it was real. "It will help as evidence against the guy should you take it further. And I can be sure that no internal damage is there." Natalie explained, rubbing y/n's arm gently, pulling away when she jumped. "Yes." Y/n spoke in a whisper, not recognizing her own voice. "I'll be back shortly, do you want visitors?" Natalie smiled weakly before leaving as y/n shook her head no.
I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than My body
Will watched in the distance as Natalie spoke to his sister, before standing up when she started crying. He opened the door of staff room to go to her when Maggie sees and quickly pulls curtain and close door before stopping him.
"Maggie please..." "Will no, I promise as soon as you can you can go." Maggie persisted, placing a hand on his chest to push him back.
Will sighs and leans against desk, rubbing forehead before looking around, only to see Jay.
"Jay." Will called ,gaining attention of his brother. "Will, hey. What's up?" Jay asked, turning to face his brother after finishing talking to Sharon. "You don't know?" Will asked, confused. "Know what?" Jay asked his brother in confusion. "Jay, y/ns here in hospital. She was brought in earlier." "Wait what, is she okay? Where is she?" "Bay 4 but Maggie won't let me see her yet, she's not clear for visitors." Will sighed. "To hell with that I'm going to see our sister, which ones bay 4."
"Ehh, where do you two think your going?" Maggie asked, stepping in front of the two brothers in frustration, knowing what they were about to say. "Maggie, where's my sister?" Jay asked ,looking around to see if he could see her face. "Jay, I am going to tell you the exact same thing as I told Will, you can't see her yet, as soon as you can I will let you know. For now, don't you have a job to do." Maggie stated in slight annoyance. "My sister is more important then my job." "Well you can't see her so either do your job, or go wait with your brother. Try see her and I kick you out of the hospital, that goes for both of you." Maggie stated, pointing at them both. Jay turned and looked at his brother. "I'm actually here for a possible assault so I'm going to see how were getting on." He stated before turning to leave.
Will turned his attention to Natalie as she came out of the room where his sister was.
"Maggie, can I get a rape kit brought down here please, ASAP." Natalie asked, causing Will to look at her. "Nat, what's wrong with y/n?" Will asked, gaining his brothers attention once again. "Not now Will, I'll explain later." Natalie spoke, moving away from him and towards the folders. "Natalie you just ordered a rape kit and I'm supposed to just let it go as if you weren't just in with my sister, what the hell happened?" Will spoke in exasperation, trying to make a point. "Will seriously, drop it. Your sister is twenty years old, I do not need to tell you anything. And the rape kit isn't for her" Natalie stated, lying to him before moving away towards another patient. "Can you at least tell me if it's okay to see her." "Not now." Natalie shook her head before leaving the two Hallstead's to sigh in frustration.
I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than My body
Y/n lay on bed as Natalie did the test on her, April standing by for help and to reassure the youngest Halstead that she wasn't alone. The room was silent as the test was done, the doctor and nurse not believing that it happened and the patient fearing the nightmare would never end.
"Alright, all done. Bring these to forensics so they can test it, see what they find." Natalie spoke to April, placing the blanket back over y/ns legs before giving April the bag of evidence. April nodded and left, closing curtain and door behind her. "Are you hungry, thirsty? I can get something sent up to you if you would like?" Natalie asked the young girl as she stood up, taking off her gloves. "No, I'm okay." Y/n spoke softly, still afraid to speak. Natalie sighed and moved closer. "You know this wasn't your fault, you didn't ask for this." Natalie spoke. "Do my brothers know?" "No, but they have been impatiently waiting around since you came in, breaking Maggies heart they are." Natalie joked, trying to get y/n to ease slightly. "I know they won't hurt me, but, I'm scared, even those who I know and trust I feel like I can't." "I can't imagine what your going through, but just know that there are people here for you." Natalie spoke softly, causing y/n to look down slightly. "Erin and Kim want to ask you some questions if your up for it." Y/n nodded and looked up at Natalie who smiled at her kindly. "Yeah, I suppose I should."
Y/n looked down again as she heard the door open and Natalie talking before two pairs of footsteps were heard.
"Hi y/n, are you okay to talk?"
I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than My body
Will came out of a patients room before seeing Jay standing near exit. He moved closer and stands beside him, seeing him looking at y/ns area.
"Hey, any news?" Jay asked. "Nope, haven't heard a thing since last spoke to Natalie, how's your case?" "Burgess and Erin are talking to the victim now." "God, I can't imagine taking that case." "I'm glad we haven't had to deal with that close to home." Jay stated, glancing at Will before turning back to y/n's room as he loked on in confusion.
Seeing his brothers confusion Will turned in the direction Jay was watching to see Burgess and Erin leaving y/n's room, Natalie following close behind. Jay looks at Will and the two walk closer as the three women talk.
"Erin, what's going on?" Jay asked as he and his brother stop in front of the three. "Nat?" Will asked, turning to his college and girlfriend "I thought y/n wasn't up for visitors, why were they in there." Erin and Natalie looked at each other before facing the two Halsteads. "Will, Jay. There's no easy way to say this but, y/n has been assaulted by a man outside her home around lunch time." Erin explained to the two brothers carefully. "That's why you couldn't see her, because we weren't sure what way she would react." Natalie explained as Burgess moved away from the group as a message came through. "So she was raped, my sister was raped." Jay stated in shock as Will ran a hand through his hair in disbelief. "I know it's hard to hear but you have to be there for y/n now. She needs you more than ever." Natalie stated as Kim came back. "Forensics got results back from the rape kit, we're looking at the same guy we've been looking for from the other women." Kim stated as she came towards the group. "Okay, let's get back to intelligence, Jay, I'll let Voight now hat your hear with your sister." Erin stated. "Thanks." Jay stated ,still in shock of what he heard. "Can we see her now?" Will asked, wanting to be there for his sister. "I'll ask her if she's up to it." Natalie nodded before moving towards the door which had y/n behind it.
I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than My body
Y/n looked up with fear as she heard the door open before relaxing when she seen Natalie pop her head in.
"Hey y/n, Will and Jay are outside, are you up to seeing them?" She asked softly, not wanting to spook the girl before smiling when she nodded her head
"Okay, she said it's okay. Just be cautious, keep your distance, let her come to you." Natalie explained before opening the door fully and allowing the two boys in.
Will and jay look at there sister, hearts breaking at how broken she looked. Y/n watched as Will took a seat and moved it away from the bed to allow distance as y/n watched the two as they moved.
"Hey, how you feeling?" Will asked, only for Jay to elbow his stomach as y/n looked down. "Right, silly question, sorry." Will answered, waiting y/n to speak. "I'm sorry." Y/n whispered, causing both boys to look at her. "You have nothing to be sorry for, it's not your fault. This shouldn't of happened so don't blame yourself." Jay spoke, shaking his head in disagreement. "No, I know, I'm sorry I can't go near you. I know you wouldn't hurt me but I am scared." Y/n cried, afraid she was disappointing them. "It's okay, you don't have to apologize, we'll get through this, together." Will stated, causing y/n to nod and smile slightly at the two.
I'm more than I'm more than I'm more than
Six months later, Will and Jay stood with y/n outside the court room, preparing for the trial against y/n's rapist. Thanks to y/n's fighting they had gathered sufficient amounts of DNA to discover who the guy was. Now, all y/n had to do was stand in front of the jury and explain what happened, while looking at her attacker in the eye.
"We'll be sitting behind you if you need us." Jay stated, still keeping distance as y/n hadn't felt comfortable enough to allow men to touch her yet. "You've got it, just look at us if you need encouragement alright." Will stated, smiling at y/n who took a shaky breath as Erin came towards them to bring her to the court.
Y/n looked around as they entered the courtroom. The doctors and nurses of Chicago med (Natalie, April, Maggie, Sharon, Conor, Ethan and Dr. Charles) as well as those from intelligence (Antonio, Kevin, Adam, Kim, Mouse and Trudy) had come to show there support as well as the paramedics who brought her to med, Sylvie and Mills. She refused to look towards the guy who was being held as a rapist as she waited for the judge to come forward, before standing up as the case began. She looked down as the information of her case, as well as other women who had been attacked by the same man, was recited to the court, before looking up when the man was brought to the stand.
She watched as he looked out to the crowd with no emotion, listening to the charges as he pleaded not-guilty. Her mouth opened wide as he looked at her as he came down from the stand, grinning at her with a sick smirk before he was pulled to sit down. She turned back to face her brothers who smiled and nodded at her in encouragement. She turned back as the judge called for recess so the Jury could come to their verdict.
Y/n sat outside the court room as Will and Jay spoke to their colleges about the case. She looked up as she heard someone clear their throat.
"It's okay, there's too much evidence there for them not to give him a sentence." Erin spoke softly, gaining the attention of the rest. "Yeah, if it was me he'd be somewhere no one would find him." Jay muttered but Erin shot him a glare before they were called back in. "That was quick, Does that mean something bad?" Y/n asked Erin frantically. "It doesn't mean anything yet. There just ready to announce the outcome." "God I feel sick." Y/n stated as they headed back to the courtroom, standing as the judge came back in.
"Has the Jury come to a verdict?" The judge asked, looking at the Jury. "We have your honor." The speaker announced. "Carry on." "For the assault against Ms. Abigail Roche we define the defendant, guilty of this charge. For the assault against Ms. Sophia and Amelia Dunne, we define the defendant guilty of this charge. And for the assault against Ms. Y/n Halstead, we define the defendant guilty of this charge." The speaker read out, causing y/n to sigh in relief and Erin to rub her back. "The defendant has been sentenced to life imprisonment. Court dismissed." The judge stated, hitting his hammer before everyone stood up.
Y/n sighed in relief and smiled at Erin as they gathered there stuff before leaving the court room. The two walked out of the building to see Jay and Will standing near the car, waiting for them. Jay and WIll smiled at them as they came towards them.
"Hey, it's all over now." Jay smiled, placing a hand on Wills shoulder as he also smiled. Y/n smiled before running towards the two, pulling them into a hug. Erin smiled as she watched both brothers tear up as their sister hugged them for the first time since her assault.
"I'm proud of you." Will smiled, "Can I have another hug?" He asked, causing y/n to wrap her arms around his neck in a proper hug. "We are always here for you, don't ever forget it." Jay spoke as y/n hugged him again. "I love you." Y/n smiled. "I love you too." Will and Jay smiled, glad to have their sister with them.

Info: y/n has been part of the supernatural cast from the beginning as the youngest Winchester. She recently lost her mum from cancer and it’s her first convention since the loss, leading to questions being asked.
Relationship: Supernatural cast x platonic reader
Warnings: Mention of loss of parent, cancer, grief
Y/n lay on her hotel bed, staring at the wall in front of her as she lay on her side. Thoughts of her mum were evident in her mind, the last moments she had with her and the duration of her life with her. y/m/n had just lost her battle with cancer, and at the young age of 21 y/n was completely lost without her. She still remembered getting the call from her father, telling her to come to the hospice because her mother was asking for her. She remembered her dad meeting her at the entrance, him pulling her into a hug and kissing her head, before she walked into her mums room, crouching down to hug her tightly as she whispered her sorries and I love yous.
The funeral had a big turn out, y/m/n was the type that everyone loved for. Among those that turned up for y/n, were Jared and Jensen, along with cast and crew of Supernatural. They had been on a break from filming, and y/n had been at home when she was told her mother unfortunately wasn’t going to win her battle. Jensen remembers y/n calling him in the middle of the night, crying after receiving the news. Their time zone was different, and y/ didn’t think about what time it was, wanting to rant to someone. He was straight on the first flight when she told him her mother had passed, calling Jared on the way, and arrived on her doorstep, confusing her father. It was no secret that y/n had a close relationship with her co-stars, but Jensen and y/n were like the father daughter duo on set. So when the duo turned up, y/f/n just showed them to her room and left them alone. Y/n had been distraught, starring at the wall, wrapped in her mother’s dressing gown that she wore all the time. She refused to acknowledge the two lads at the start, but once she felt Jensen’s hand on her back, she broke down, and she screamed as she clung to him, Jared holding her hand over his shoulder.
---
The hall where the convention was taking place was packed. Crowds of supernatural fans had came, wanting to catch a glimpse of the three Winchesters. Dean, Sam & Isla were fan favorites, and the relationship between the three actors were something people loved to see. When they heard that y/n was returning to conventions after a long personal break, fans went wild, and y/n could feel the energy from back stage. She pulled her top over her hands as she flapped them about, before gasping in shock when arms wrapped around her from behind.
“Please welcome the Winchester clan, Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalaecki and the lovely, y/n l/n.” Was heard over the speaker before y/n moved away from Jensen as they walked up the steps.
“I’m with you if you need me.” Jensen’s voice came over her shoulder before kissing her cheek.
“Yea.” Y/n spoke softly, leaning back on him, smiling at Jared as he came to them, doing their handshake.
Y/n giggled a little as Jared jokingly slipped on the last step before waving to the crowd while Jensen messed with Jared in picking him up and making sure he’s ok. Y/n rolled her eyes at their antics before sitting on the middle seat, waiting for the guys to sit down before shaking her head. She tried to keep a smile on her face as the Q&A begun.
Y/n smiled out to the crowd as the crowd settled down from the comedic start, waving at some of the phones that were evidently recording. Jensen couldn’t help but watch y/n for a moment with a slight smile before turning his attention back to the fans as the questions begun. Y/n was relieved that most questions were upbeat.
“Are you alright Jared?” Y/n asked, placing a hand on Jared’s arm in comfort.
“I don’t know, that was a big fall.” Jared stated, pouting a bit.
“Well with your height I’m not surprised.” Y/n teased him, and he gasped in mock hurt as laughs were heard.
“Why I never.” Jared stated.
“She’s back.” Jensen smiled to the crowd, holding a hand to y/n as Jared moved away from y/n.
“My question is for Jensen and Jared.” A woman around the lads age spoke out.
“That’s exclusion.” Y/n piped out, pointing at the woman who looked down.
“Now y/n, let’s not be rude and let the nice lady ask her question.” Jensen scolded y/n jokingly, causing y/n to hang her head in shame.
“I have grown to feel like I have watched y/n grow up on screen, and I find it emotional watching her character evolve from the little scared girl to the young independent woman, and I was wondering how does it feel to watch y/n grow from the little 7 year old girl to this young 21 year old woman we see in front of us today.” The woman spoke, and y/n blushed as she looked down.
“Well I for one am personally incredibly honored to have had the chance to be around y/n since she was so young, you know. It’s not something that typically happens in our line of work, you know, working for 13, 14 years together. You generally don’t get that opportunity a lot of the time.” Jensen spoke, using his hands to express himself.
“Most of the time children don’t last very long on a show, they just don’t have the attention span. So when I first seen that there was going to be a little girl or boy, we didn’t know at the time whether or not Dean and Sam were going to have a little brother or sister, I was a little taken aback. Because the hours we do are so demanding and obviously you can’t have a child on set for 13 14 hours a day, you know, it’s not realistic. But y/n, you know, the moment we done auditions with her, we automatically knew that she was a good match for us.” Jared explained, smiling at the memory of their first meeting.
“Y/n was this shy little girl when she came in and as soon as Bobby called action she just turned like that “ Jensen clicked his fingers together, “She was amazing, and I mean you guys seen on the show how great she was.” Jensen bragged, causing cheers to abrupt from the crowds.
“Alright alright.” y/n spoke, using her hands to tell them to pip down.
“No but honestly, this woman. She really is something else. I mean watching her grow up, I have enjoyed it. I still remember her clinging to me on set every day for the first few months of filming. She would refuse to leave my side if she could.” Jensen smiled softly, placing a hand on y/n’s shoulder.
“Yea she took to you really quickly, which kinda hurt I won’t lie.” Jared joked at the end, making y/n smile sadly at him. “Nah, but she has truly become family, and there is nothing that I wouldn’t do for this kid.” Jared spoke proudly, taking y/n’s hand in his to give it a squeeze.
“I still remember when she was young she came to these conventions and mostly stayed behind, but every now and then she would run on stage, if the guys were playing she would dance with the beat until myself or Jared would take her. She would just sit there with her goofy little smile, poking us with her little fingers until we would jokingly bite them.” Jensen spoke with a laugh, causing y/n to giggle slightly.
“Now she hurts with her words so I guess some things never change.” Jared joked causing y/n’s jaw to drop in mock shock.
“She has grown so much more confident in herself which I love to see. I’m like a proud father I have to say.” Jensen spoke with a smile, causing the crowd to awe as y/n leaned her head on Jensen's shoulder.
“Thank you for your question.” Jared smiled at the woman before they moved onto a younger girl.
Moving to the corner of the stage, y/n kneeled down as she watched the girl rush towards her. Tears built in y/n’s eyes as he wrapped her arms around the girl who was close in age to her, breathing out heavily as she controlled her emotions before speaking.
“Hey guys, my name’s Amelia.” The girl spoke softly.
“Hi Amelia.” Y/n smiled at the girl who was close to y/n’s age.
“Who’s your question for Amelia?” Jared asked.
“ My questions for y/n.” She spoke hesitantly.
“Yes.” Y/n celebrated, smiling widely at the girl.
“I don’t want to thread on your emotions and I know this is a little personally, but as we all know you just lost your mum to cancer.” The girl spoke timidly, and y/n’s breath hitched a little as she nodded, “ And well, I recently just got told that my mum hasn’t got that long left so I was just wondering, how do you deal with that news?”
Jensen and Jared looked at y/n with sad smiles, not knowing how she would react or what to say.
“Can you come closer, because firstly I want to give you a hug.” Y/n spoke with a cough, and she dropped the mike on the chair as she got up.
Y/n smiled a watery smile as she felt the tears begin to fall. Quickly wiping them she stood back up from her position and headed back to where Jensen and Jared were watching the scene with sad smiles. Jared placed a hand on her back as she grabbed her mike and sat back down before Jensen took her hand, squeezing it.
“You make your mum proud, I can tell how much she means to you. My mum meant a lot to me too,, still does. But you have to brave for her which isn’t easy. Watching her go from the strong woman you know to someone who relies on you for everything isn’t easy. I’ve been there, it’s not nice. But you can’ show her how you feel. If she sees you smile, she’ll be happy. And that’s all that matters.” YY/n whispered to her, not breaking the hug.
“I’m scared of life without her.” The girl sobbed.
“I know you are, I was too. I still am, just remember the good times. And remember, there are people around you who are there for you. I’m here for you. Never forget that.” Y/n whispered before kissing the girls cheek and moving apart from her.
“Thank you.” The girl stated softly, wiping her cheeks.
“It doesn’t matter who you are or what age you are, grief is always tough. It comes in waves. But it hits different when you’ve been told your going to lose someone close to you, and you have to grieve them while they’re right in front of you. You grieve the times you had before and the times you’ll never have. But what never changes, is the love you have for them.” Y/n spoke with shaky breathes, and the crowd smiled weakly at her. “I love you mum.” Y/n spoke softly into the mike, and Jensen pulled her into a hug as the tears began to fall.
Info: Devastation follows the Shelby family everywhere, but Tommy always had his daughter. That was until Grace came into the picture.
Relationship: Tommy Shelby x daughter reader
Tommy Shelby was a man of many things, but one thing he wasn’t was someone people would call kind. Coming home from the war changed people, but the one thing it didn’t change was the way the Shelby man was towards his daughter. Before the war Tommy had had an affair with a woman, and the encounter had led to a little girl to be born and left on the Shelby doorstep. At first Aunt Pol had been furious with her nephew, but one she saw the way Tommy was with the baby girl, she instantly melted. Heartbreak was evident in the father daughter duo when the time came for all men to be called to the war, and the last memory Tommy had of his daughter was the five year old screaming in her aunt Ada’s arms, arms outstretched for her father to come back to her. Her little head didn’t understand why her father was leaving her, but hearing the words ‘I’ll be back as soon as I can’ meant to her that her father wouldn’t be coming back.
When the Shelby boys returned, y/n was nearing the age of ten, and her memories were shallow of who Tommy was. While Tommy expected y/n to run into his arms, she had thrown him off when she grabbed hold of Pol’s hand, refusing to leave the older woman’s side. Pol chuckled at the young girl's antics, and pushed her towards her father, leaving the joke of ‘you’re his problem now’ to cause the girl to shyly giggle, finger hooking the inside of her cheek as she looked into her father’s blue eyes.
“Hey love, remember me?” Tommy gave her a slight smile. The slight smile caused y/n to grin back at him. “Daddy.” The girl squealed, jumping into her father’s arms. “Hey sweetheart.” Tommy breathed, cupping the back of her head before linking the other under her legs to lift her up. “She’s so light.” Tommy muttered with slight worry as he kissed the side of her head. “Perfectly healthy for a ten year old Tommy, you needn’t worry.” Polly reassured him with a slight smile, watching the reunion.
Letting the young girl down, Tommy extended out his hand to y/n’s and he smiled at the feeling of the little hand in his as they began their walk home, y/n excitedly telling him of her school and how she had been getting on.
---
The years that followed the war were spent with Tommy working hard to provide for his little girl. Y/n got everything she needed as she grew up, and Tommy made sure she got the best. Each afternoon y/n would come home from school and sit in her father’s office in the betting room with her father, her on one side doing homework while he’d be on the other going through the paperwork. She’d enter the office on a daily basis and pull Tommy away from his work with a kiss to the cheek before sitting on the extra chair left for her, having a small chat with the man before starting on her homework. Y/n was his life, and he would often bring her to the pub with him and her uncles, until a certain bar maid came.
“You know you shouldn’t really bring her in here.” A blonde woman stated to your father as she gave him his whiskey. “Ain’t doing no harm, are ya love.” Tommy spoke, looking down at his daughter fondly. “Nope.” The 14 year old popped her lips together. “I meant for her, she shouldn’t be around drunks.” “What’s your name?” Y/n watched as her father’s eyes narrowed at the barmaid in front of them. “Grace.” The woman spoke confidently. “Well Grace, here’s a thing you should know. Y/n here is my daughter, and if she asks me to leave, we’ll leave. Until then, don’t judge the way I parent my daughter, alright.” Tommy spoke to the woman harshly, leaning on the bar to move closer to the woman. “Yes sir.” The woman gulped slightly at the dark look on the Shelbys face, and she watched as it softened when he felt his daughter's hand in his. “Come on dad, I want to talk to uncle Arthur about the horses.” y/n tugged on her father’s arm. “Go on love, I’ll be in shortly.” Tommy nodded his head for y/n to leave to the back room where the Shelby’s usually sat.
“She’s a lovely girl.” Grace nodded to the back of the girl's head as Tommy watched her till the door closed behind her. “Yea.” Tommy breathed before clearing his throat. “Give me another one of these and some pop for herself.” Tommy ordered as he downed the whiskey she had given him. “On the house.” Grace stated as she slid the drinks over. “Thank you kindly.” Tommy nodded at her before leaving to where his daughter was chatting with John and Arthur, her back slouched against the older uncle.
---------
Y/n could only watch as her father and Grace became unusually close. She wasn’t used to her father giving a woman attention, he had stopped that shortly after he returned from the war, after y/n walked in on him having an ‘encounter’ with a woman. She had run out of the room crying to Arthur, who was more than happy to play protector for his niece while she refused to talk to her father. It was days before Tommy won her over again, and was annoyed that all it took was buying her a new teddy and allowing her to come with them to the pub.
There was something about Grace that y/n didn’t like, but she wasn’t sure what. The feelings that Grace had for her father were evident, and y/n couldn’t help but feel that despite her fathers emotionless expressions, it was clear that there were some feelings for Grace. These feelings became more evident after she brought him to hers to get away from those who were looking for them.
It wasn’t long till Tommy had sat his daughter down to tell her the news of his engagement with the blonde woman. Being unsure of the woman y/n had her doubts, but Tommy had shot them down straight away.
“Not you too y/n.” Thomas groaned, throwing his head back lightly. “I’m sorry daddy, there’s just something about her I don’t trust, especially since the time she outed us.” Y/n stated, standing from her seat. “We’ve all outed each other at some point.” “I haven’t.” Y/n muttered, crossing her arms as her father gave her a harsh look. “Y/n please, I love her and..” “More than you love me?” Y/n asked, eyes widening at the words coming out of her father’s mouth. “How could I, you're my angel disguised as a devilish child.” Tommy smiled, placing a hand under her chin. “When do you marry?” “After the birth.” “Birth?” Y/n asked, confused on how Grace could be with child outside marriage. “Yes y/n, you're going to be a big sister.” Tommy stated, pouring himself a whiskey. “How does a woman come to be with child outside marriage?” Y/n squinted at her father who almost choked on his whiskey. “I think it’s time for you to get ready for bed.” The father stated to his daughter, trying to get away from the topic. “But I would like to know so I don’t wind up with child.” Y/n whined. “Trust me, you won’t be able to do that for a long time.” Tommy breathed, placing a hand on his daughter's back to guide her to her room.
------
The wedding was anything but small, with the guests coordinating mostly Grace’s side of the family. Y/n was left with the job of looking after her baby brother Charlie, much to the annoyance of Grace, who kept watching the girl with her son with a glare. Y/n couldn’t help but feel unwanted at the wedding so she stayed to the side, blending in with the crowd. The only interaction she had was with Arthur and Linda throughout the night. Tommy spent the day beside his new wife, and only came to her once to tell her to put Charlie to bed for the night. Y/n couldn’t help the panging feeling in her chest, seeing her father with his new family, the three of them at peace.
The following few days were spent with y/n heading to school. On her last day her father had promised he’d be there to see her graduate, but all she saw was Polly and Ada. The father daughter duo were meant to go out for y/n’s first drink at the pub, but when she returned home and went to Tommy’s office, they only had the chance to say hello before Grace turned up, claiming that Charlie was looking for his father with only a glare being sent her way before the couple left. Y/n winded up calling Arthur who gladly took her out to the garriston with John. Arthur was beginning to become more a father to her than her own, and that made y/n sad. She winded up staying with her uncles that night, with Linda tucking her in for the night with a kiss on the head.
When she returned home, she was greeted with a slap across the face and she gasped, holding her cheek as she looked up. Grace stood in front of her with a sharp look, Tommy close behind her.
“How dare you not come home last night. You had Tommy worried sick.” Grace shouted at her. “What the fuck.” Y/n cursed at her stepmother. “Y/n.” Tommy scolded his daughter, giving her a hard look that made y/n shrink back. Tommy never gave her anything but kind eyes. “I was at Arthurs for the night after going out for a few drinks. You know, the ones dad was meant to bring me on.” Y/n stated, glaring at Grace before turning her attention to her father. “Tommy was with Charlie last night, he was restless looking for his father.” Grace stated. “Yeah, and I graduated school and was looking forward to having my first drinks with my dad but instead he ditched me for his second family.” Y/n spoke out, throwing an arm out for dramatics. “How dare you. We are more family to him than you are. After all, you're just a bastard that was born outside of marriage.” "Grace." Tommy sighed, seeing her daughter's eyes tear up. "Well she is." "Technically your son was one too Grace, don't forget that." Y/n spoke through gritted teeth. "Doesn't change the fact that Tommy took you in out of pity." "Grace." Tommy shouted, only to be cut short when y/n bolted up the stairs. "Y/n"
TOmmy called after his daughter as he followed her up the stairs. He stalled when he heard Charlie cry out for him as he passed the boy's door. Hearing the cry, y/n turned back to look at her father as he looked between his son and daughter. Her vision turned to Grace as she came up the steps.
"I swear if you choose them instead of me again, I am out of here." Y/n warned, and she watched as Tommy's eyes softened. "Y/n...." "Tommy, can you ask someone to get him a bottle of milk while I go to him?" Grace spoke, placing a hand on his back as she moved past him. "I had a feeling." Y/n muttered as Tommy moved back to the stairs.
Not sparing another thought y/n made her way into her room and quickly packed a bag before heading out. She took one look at Tommy as she left, and he went to call her only to hear his son cry.
----
The following weeks y/n stayed at her uncle Arthur's place, away from Tommy. She had wound up at his door without a jacket, and Arhur was shocked to see the young girl shivering on her own. After hearing the story he was livid, and had wound up at Tommy's door, shouting at him, ignoring as Grace pleaded with him to stop.
Tommy had become out of character after his daughter left their home. He spent most of his time in his office when he was home, and even that was rare. Majority of his days were done on business, where Arthur would give him the cold shoulder when they were out of sight. He stopped running to Charlie's side each night during the cries, and would often find himself falling asleep on his desk, not turning up to bed with Grace. Grace had grown fed up with her husband's attitude and decided to organize a party. Wanting the best for his wife, Tommy agreed, on the condition that y/n would come.
It was Arthur who told y/n of the extravagant party Grace was organizing. She wasn't surprised of the news but she was shocked when Linda handed her an invite that was quite obviously her fathers writing. She remembered looking at her father and him nodding at her, convincing her that going would make her higher than him, even if he wasn't attempting to interact with her.
Tommy looked forward to that day, when he would see his daughter again. His attempts to see her had always been in vain, as she wasn't at Arthurs when he was, and he wasn't sure where she went during the day. His thoughts were broken as the barman told him someone was on the phone for him.
"Tommy, you got to come." Arthur's voice came over quickly. "Arthur?" Tommy asked, not understanding what he was saying. "It's y/n Tommy. She's been hurted, badly." "Where.?"
----------
Y/n had been walking back from her new job as a secretary in the doctors office. It took some convincing to get the job, with the Shelby name hanging over her. They told her she could have it so long as no Shelby came near the place, they weren't wanted unless they needed health care. Her hours were generally 9-5, so she always got out when the sun began to set. The roads were always busy on her way home, which was how she never heard her attacker until they grabbed her from behind.
She didn't remember much, but she did remember the sound of a gun, and multiple screams around her. The next she was on the ground, holding her side as she gasped for pain. It was evident that something had happened based on the sering pain she felt, but she was afraid to look. Her vision was clouded as she seen a figure coming towards her, caressing her cheek gently.
"Y/n love, look at me. Stay awake okay." Arthurs voice travelled to her ears, and she tried to speak.
"Arthur." She spoke softly, Arthur wouldn't of heard it bar he was paying attention to her. "Sh, don't speak. Somebody get a fucking doctor." He screamed the last part, hoping someone would help them.
The last she felt was two sets of hands moving her before blackness surrounded her.
The next time she woke up, she recognized her surroundings to be A room in the doctors office. The smell of cleaning supplies were evident and the feeling of rough sheets was present on her skin. The throbbing of pain was felt on her side, and she moved to look down before a hand was felt stopping her. The rough hand grabbed her arm and she followed it to the person who sat beside her, recognizing them as her uncle.
“Hey.” She spoke weakly, her voice scratchy. “Hey love, how you feeling?” Arthur spoke softly, rubbing her arm in comfort. “Sore, really sore.” She groaned, trying to move and get comfy. “No need to strain, I’ll go get the doctor.” Arthur comforted his niece, moving to get up. “No, stay please.” Y/n begged, quick to grab Arthurs arm. “Your in pain, he can help you.” “I don’t want to be alone.” She spoke groggily. “Well you pick a bad place to work if you don’t like it here.” Arthur joked, causing y/n to smile weakly. “Where’s dad?” Y/n asked, licking her lips. “Called the Garriston and told him, he didn’t say nothing when I told him.” Arthur explained ,and y/n looked down. “Maybe get the doctor Arthur, I can’t sleep with the pain.” Y/n requested and Arthur smiled sadly at his niece. “I’ll be right back love.” He kissed her head before leaving.
Y/n kept her vision low, even when the doctor came by to check her over. She felt lonely, even with her uncle there. All she wanted was her dad, and he hadn’t turned up when she needed him most. His little girl was in hospital after an accident that was no doubt caused by him. It didn’t take a genius to figure out why the men had came to her, and attacked her out of everyone present. If it wasn’t for Arthur being there, she would probably be dead.
“Why were you here?” Y/n asked her uncle when the doctor left. “Finn heard some block talking about taking down the Shelby girl, doesn’t take much to know who.” Arthur explained, taking y/n’s hand in his. “Oh.” Y/n stated, before turning as the door was heard opening.
Tommy rushed through the streets towards her daughters work place after the call from his brother. The nurse and doctor gave him a glare when he barged through the front door, but he didn’t care to ask them where his daughter was as he opened all the doors. His breathing was ragged as he found the correct one, and he stopped to take a look at his daughter. Y/n was there, lying in bed, with Arthur by her side as their attention turned to the open door. Y/n could only look at Tommy as he took in her appearance.
“Y/n, my sweet girl.” Tommy breathed, rushing to the opposite side of the bed to take her face in his hands. “Daddy?” Y/n asked, moving away from his touch. “Are you hurt?” “No, she’s lying in bed for no reason.” Arthur spoke roughly, causing y/n to look down. “ A shot to the side. Fainted with the shock. Just the pain really.” Y/n explained, shrugging her shoulders. “Y/n love, look at me?” Tommy asked. “You can go back to your new family now that you know that I’m okay.” “Arthur, give us a minute yea.” Tommy stated to her brother, who looked at his niece before leaving after getting a nod.
“Y/n love, I am so sorry for what Grace said to you. She had no right to. And you should know that in no scenario is that true.” Tommy spoke softly, crouching down to be eye level with y/n. “You didn’t stop her.” Y/n stated. “She’s my wife…” “And I’m your daughter.” Y/n spoke sharply, glaring at her father. “I know you are y/n, and I love you so much but the thing is with marriage, you have to..” “Don’t.. Your marriage is not one to idolize. Allowing your wife to speak so poorly to your daughter is not something to be proud of.” Y/n stated, shaking her head. “Please forgive me y/n, okay I know I made mistakes. But I’m your father…” “Arthur has been more of a father to me than you lately. He protected me when I needed him to, you didn’t.” Y/n spoke sharply, hitting a nerve for Tommy. “Y/n please, let me make this right.” Tommy begged, placing a hand under y/n’s chin, wanting his daughter to give him a chance. “I want to, but how do I know that Grace will separate us again.” “I won’t let her okay. I…. I will talk to her alright, make her know that you are just as much family as she and Charlie are. Sweetheart I love you okay, I will do anything to have you back home with me.” “I really want to believe you.” Y/n spoke, looking her father in the eye. “Than do, let’s get you home and we can have our time back. Tonight, you and I by the fire, talking about our day, just like old times. “I think I’m going to stay with Arthur for tonight dad.” Y/n looked down at her hands, playing with her hands a little. “Y/n..” “I can call by tomorrow and we can do something.” Y/n suggested, and her father looked down. “Sure, whatever you want.” Tommy stated, nodding his head as smacked his lips together.
Y/n smiled as Tommy looked back up at her. Seeing the tears in his daughters eyes Tommy moved to bring her into a hug, cupping the back of her head as he kissed her forehead.
“I love you Sweetheart.” He mumbled in her ear. “I love you too dad.” Y/n breathed, relaxing into his touch.
Inspired by Make it to Christmas by Alessia Cara
Info: Y/n and Casey both know their relationship would be better of done, but y/n wants them to stick it out till the end of the festivities.
Relationship: Casey x Halstead sister
Y/n lay on her shared bed with Casey, watching the lights that passed by their window. Colourful lights appeared every now and then, signs of the Christmas period that had came upon them all too quickly. She listened to the shower cut off from the bathroom and sat up, waiting for Casey to turn up. As usual she had the day off while Casey was working, which meant that they would once again not be spending any time together. The odd time y/n would hang around the firehouse, just to see her boyfriend, but that was awkward since they would always be interrupted with the sound of the bell.
“Morning, did I wake you?” Casey asked, walking into the room while he towel dried his hair. “No, just watching the lights.” Y/n sighed, looking out the window. “I love that look on your face.” Casey smiled, moving to lean over y/n. “What look?” Y/n asked, confused. “The joy of knowing what time of year it is. Christmas brings out the best in you.” Matt smiled, giving her a peck on the lips. “Will there be much point in me going to visit you later on?” Y/n asked, watching as Casey tied his shoe laces before grabbing his jacket. “If you want.” Casey sighed, zipping up his jacket. “If you don’t want me to just say.” Y/n exclaimed, rolling her eyes slightly. “Come if you want, your welcome to visit us.” Casey stated, grabbing his bag before walking out. “I love you.” He called out as he grabbed his keys. “I love you too.” Y/n mumbled, hearing the front door close.
We were warm and wonderful Once upon a time But now we're frozen, hanging by a thread Can we wait a minute? Or can we just try to try? 'Cause my favourite day is coming up ahead
Y/n laughed to herself as she struggled to put on her gloves over her hands. Chicago had hit the cold weather, and while y/n loved the aesthetics of it, she hated being cold. With time on her own, she had decided to visit the Christmas market to waste some time. Her and Casey had planned on doing it, but neither of them seemed to find the time together. Their days off were rare now, when they first started going out they made an effort to have at least one day off a week, but now they’d be lucky to have that off per month. Y/n knew that Casey’s job was demanding, but she still wished they could make it work.
Casey sat in his office, leaning his head against his hand as he stared out the window. He smiled softly at the children that passed by, throwing what little snow was present at each other. His vision stopped when he caught sight of a couple walking down the road, the guys arm wrapped around his girls as he rubbed it up and down, attempting to help her keep warm. Casey could only sigh, there was a time when he and y/n would do that, walk some random night and just enjoy each other’s comfort. They had spent 4 Christmases together as a couple, and each year they would go to the Christmas market and just stroll around, purely to spend time together. They had a set date, and it had become something that y/n thoroughly enjoyed each year, marking the start of the festive holiday.
Deciding to go out for some air, Casey grabbed his jacket that was thrown on his cot before walking through the canteen. Hermann yelled something at him but he just shrugged it off, bumping into Kelly as he went through the door to the pit. Throwing his hands into his pockets, he leaned against the wall, looking around outside. He looked to the side when he heard a laugh.
“You always do that when our frustrated.” Y/n mused, coming to a stop beside him. “Hey.” Casey smiled, pushing off the wall to face y/n. “You ok?” She asked. “Yea I’m fine.” Casey sighed with a smile before looking down to see something in her hands, “What’s this?” “Oh I uhh, went to the Christmas market today, got you guys some treats to keep you going.” Y/n smiled, offering them to Casey. “I thought we were going to go together?” Casey asked, confused on why y/n went alone. “We can still go together, I just went cause I had the time off.” Y/n shrugged, biting her lip slightly. “Yea, next time.” Casey nodded, deciding not to push on it anymore. “Come on in, I’m sure the guys would be delighted to see you.” “Me or the goodies?” Y/n asked, raising an eyebrow. “Maybe the goodies.” Casey admitted with a slight chuckle.
Y/n shook her head with laughter before allowing Casey to push her towards the entrance. She didn’t see the slight disappointment Casey had while she greeted Kelly with a hug. He could only watch as the guys greeted her with cheers, Mouch kissing her cheek as he took the box from her. Kelly glanced between the couple, nodding his head slightly.
Darling, I know that our love is going cold It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up And hold on a little longer Don't have me spending it alone This time of year is precious Please, can we make it to Christmas? Can we make it to Christmas?
Y/n smiled softly as she said her goodbyes to the crew from firehouse 51. They had devoured the treats she had brought for them, and with it growing late y/n decided it would be better if she started to make her way home. There would no doubt be ice on the roads, and Casey knew how much she hated driving in them conditions. Usually, he would offer her to stay with him in his office, but there was something in him that stopped him this time. So he opted to walk her out while Boden and her talked.
“You take care on those roads y/n, conditions are lethal.” Boden spoke, pointing at the young girl in front of her. “I will Boden, thank you.” Y/n smiled, placing a hand on Boden’s arm in thanks. “Don’t want to get a call and see you in there.” Boden commenting causing Casey to winch. “And with that lovely thought, I am going to head.” Y/n joked with a smile, turning to Casey. “Don’t be a stranger.” Boden commented, he always had a soft spot for y/n from the moment she was introduced to them.
Y/n and Casey watched the chief walk back into the building before turning to face each other. Y/n played with her hands with the cold, and Casey smiled at the sight. Y/n was never one for the cold, and Casey always wondered why she loved a holiday that was surrounded by cold conditions. Turning his head to see Kelly and Squad watching them from their table, so went to grab y/n’s hand, intertwining their hands before guiding her to her car across the road.
“Drive safe.” Casey commented, opening the door for her. “Of course.” Y/n smiled back.” “Text when home.” Casey stated. “I always do.” Y/n smiled and Casey moved to kiss her cheek. “See you tomorrow.” Casey spoke, slight hope. “I’m meeting Jay and Will tomorrow evening, might stay there for night.” Y/n shrugged and Casey looked down. “I’ll call in.” Casey stated, looking at y/n. “Sure.” Y/n smiled, before moving to close the door behind her.
Casey knocked on the top of the roof before stepping away, watching y/n drive down the road.
can we just make it to Christmas? (Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? (If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas? (Hold on) make it to Christmas Don't know what I'll say to Dad when he sees the empty chair Don't want to hear my Mum say, "Told you so" Waiting for Santa in my bed is no fun if you're not there And I don't want to be angry at mistletoes
Y/n breathed deeply as she moved to knock against her brothers apartment door. She smiled slightly as she seen the reed that was nailed to the front door. It was the same reed that had been in the family from the first year of their parents marriage. In a fit of rage the Halstead’s father was going to throw out everything to do with their mother, but Jay had managed to get a hold of them, keeping bits for them and giving some to Will and y/n.
Jay opened the door with a smile on his face, before frowning slightly when he seen y/n on her own. For the last two years all three Halstead’s had been in a relationship, and their annual Christmas movie night had turned into the three couples spending time together. Will and Natalie were there, and Hailey was on the way back with takeaway, and the plan was for Casey and y/n to arrive together.
“Where’s Casey?” Jay asked his sister in confusion. “I was working so came from there. Casey said he’ll call in.” Y/n smiled at her brother, walking into the apartment. “Did you guys have a falling out?” Jay asked as he closed the door. “No, just I was working late and he finished work this morning so we missed each other. He’ll probably be here shortly. Hey Will, Natalie.” Y/n explained before moving and sitting beside her older brother on the couch. “Hey y/n.” Natalie smiled as Will looked over at Jay with a raised eye brow.
It wasn’t long till Haley arrived home with dinner. She gave her sister in law a look when she seen y/n on her own, and turned to Jay who shook his head as if to say he didn’t know. The group allowed y/n to pick the first film, and each groaned when they seen the polar express start playing.
“That films creepy.” Jay whined, causing y/n to roll her eyes. “No it’s not.” Y/n commented. “Oh yes it is. The animations make the guy look weird.” Will stated, and Natalie hit his chest. “Stop complaining.” Y/n spoke, crossing her arms as she sat in between the two couples.
To an outsider it would look like y/n was third wheeling a double date night, but Jay and Will watched their sister with sadness. They both knew that y/n and Casey loved doing festive things together, and watching movies was no different. It was their ‘date night’ each week, they’d order in and watch a series of some sort. Casey would often pick a horror movie just for y/n to cuddle up on him.
Casey arrived to the apartment late into the night, beers in hand. Jay greeted him with a smirk and bro hug before leading him into the apartment. Y/n just smiled at him as the fireman shredded his coat and moved to sit beside her. Seeing her brothers watching, y/n moved to lay her head on Casey, and Casey kissed her head, wrapping an arm around her as they finished off the third movie of the night.
Darling, I know that our love is going cold It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up And hold on a little longer Don't have me spending it alone This time of year is precious Please, can we make it to Christmas? Can we make it to Christmas? can we just make it to Christmas? (Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? (If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas? (Hold on) make it to Christmas (Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas? (Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? (If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas? (Hold on)
Y/n and Casey walked to y/n’s car, turning to wave to Jay and Hailey as they headed home for the night. Casey had been with Kelly for the day, getting the Christmas tree, so he had Kelly drop him off at Jays. The journey home was a little quiet, and y/n sighed, moving to turn up the radio. Like every year, y/n had turned the radio to the Christmas station, and Casey frowned as a new song came on. He looked at y/n as she began to sing along.
“Darling I know, that our love is growing cold.” Y/n mumbled softly, watching the road carefully. “Do you think that?” Casey asked suddenly, shocking her. “Casey it’s just a song, I…” Y/n started only for Casey to interrupt her. “We have been growing apart lately, I can’t be the only one who’s seeing it.” Casey explained, and y/n looks down. “I was hoping we were going through a rough patch. It happens for couples.” Y/n sighed, turning her attention to the road once again. “Have we done anything together lately.” “We did tonight.” “Because I remembered it after you said you were going there.” Casey exclaimed, and y/n shook her head. “Our jobs are crazy right now.” Y/n tried to justify. “Our jobs were always crazy y/n, you’re a lawyer, I’m a firefighter, it’s part of the job. But we used to make sure we had at least one day off together, or an evening we would spend together. Now, it’s like we’re not even trying, using work as an excuse to what is really going on.” Casey stated, and y/n pursed her lips to avoid talking. “So what does this mean?” Y/n asked softly, not wanting to think of it. “I don’t know y/n. I really don’t know.” Casey sighed, looking down at his hands.
Darling, I know that our love is going cold It's just something 'bout the snow this time of year That makes us lose our way, just say we'll make up And hold on a little longer Don't have me spending it alone This time of year is precious Break my heart on Boxing Day Just, please, can we make it to Christmas? can we just make it to Christmas? (Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? (If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas? (Hold on) make it to Christmas (yeah) (Christmastime) can we just make it to Christmas? (Everything will be alright) can we just make it to Christmas? (If we just hold on, hold on) can we just make it to Christmas?
The apartment was warm when they walked in, but it was a clear contrast to how the couple that walked into it were feeling. Y/n couldn’t look at Casey as she took off her winter coat and kit, before moving to the kitchen and turning on the kettle. Casey sighed as he hung up the two coats before following her, wrapping her arms around y/n’s waist from behind. His eyes misted over as she flinched from his touch.
“Please don’t do that to me.” Casey begged, hating him flinching at him. “Sorry, I just don’t want this to end.” Y/n spoke, her voice wavering with emotion. “I don’t either, but we’re making excuses for things that used to be simple. I don’t want to hurt you but if we hold on it’ll hurt more.” “Can we wait it out. We can work on it.” Y/n begged, moving to face him. “We can try make it work over the holidays.” Casey stated, looking y/n in the eyes. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to me, I don’t want to lose this.” Y/n cried, moving to place a hand on Casey’s cheek. “I don’t either, but we can’t hold onto this.” Casey spoke, his heart breaking as he held y/n. “I love you.” Y/n tried, a tear falling down her cheek. “I know, I do too.” Casey sighed, bringing y/n into a hug.
Neither party wanted this to end. But deep down they knew, it wasn’t going to work.
