Wyatt's POV

When I enter the fire station with my dad, his coworkers come around the big red trucks to greet us. Aneeka looks down at me, being one of the only people here still over a foot taller than me, and smiles. 

"Hey, how you doing, bud?" she asks.

"Good. I'm ready to see some fires. Maybe a whole building will burn down!"

Aneeka glances to my dad who explains, "It's bring your kid to work day, and he wanted to come with me."

"Your other dad's job doesn't interest you as much?" she says. 

"I already have to listen to one dramatic teenager all day," I justify. "Why would I want to hear more?"

While my dad heads to the back of the station to put his things away and get ready to start his shift, I look at the firetrucks, seeing Luca, another one of Dad's coworkers, checking the tires, the rims of which are shiny red. 

"Nice rims," I comment.

"You into cars?" Luca wonders. 

"A little bit. Can't drive them yet, though. Not legally, at least."

Suddenly, the fire bell rings, and everyone in the station floods toward the trucks, climbing in. My dad rounds my location and waves me on.

"You ready?" he asks. 

"Let's go!" I shout and follow him up into the truck.

Jonah's POV

Walker steers while I look out the passenger side window, our daughter in the back. We spent the day looking at houses, but we haven't found one that works. Walker's loved almost all of them, but none feel right to me.

"How are you, Austen?" I ask.

She crosses her arms angrily and replies, "I frustrated."

"What? Why?"

"I want ball pit!"

Walker glances over at me while taking a turn down another street, and I let out a sigh. 

"What neighbourhood are you wanting to be in?" Walker asks me. 

I turn my eyes back out the window, scanning the tree-shaded homes of the suburbs.

"Somewhere not as far away," I answer.

That's when I see a for sale sign hanging from a stand on a lawn, and I light up. 

"Pull over!" I shout.

Walker doesn't question my command. He steers to the right and parks at the curb in front of the house. 

"This is the house," I say. 

Walker leans over to get a clearer view. "The one right next to TJ and Cyrus?"

I grin.

"Alright," Walker says. "Let's make an offer."

"We haven't seen it yet!" Austen squeaks from the backseat. 

"I don't need to see it," I reply. "I can feel it."

Taking our daughter's side, Walker says, "Let's take a quick peak inside anyway."

Wyatt's POV

The house isn't engulfed in fire. Kind of a bummer. But everyone rushes out of the truck anyway. I jump down onto the lawn and try to search for the blaze.
