"Jude sweetie come on let's get you out of that car seat alright" soothes Jackie picking up her six year old from his car seat. Hen had invited her and Athena to the firehouses family dinner. Athena came because there is trouble at home and in all honesty Jac just didn't want to cook.
Hen sees Jac walking in and runs over and takes Jude from her. "Theirs my favorite six year old how are you Judy" hen gushes as she boops Jude's nose. "I am great auntie henny" Jude giggles as hen tickles him. "Where's Athena at nevermind there she is" Jac turns pointing at Athena walking over to them from her car.
Jude then drops down from hens arms and runs over to Athena "thena thena" "oh there's my grandbaby how are you darling are you hungry" Athena asks and Jude nods his head up and down excitedly. "Ok then let's go my little bug" Jac says as she scoops up Jude following hen.
"Hey you guys don't mind I brought some company to family dinner. Athena's going through some stuff at home right now so she could use some TLC and Jackie just didn't want to cook" Hen announces as they get upstairs. As Jac comes into view Buck squints his eyes at the sight of her carrying a child that has the same eyes and nose as her. Jac notices buck staring her and her son down but shakes it off.
"Ok shade but you got me there" Jac admits shaking her head. "Well we usually don't allow cops at secret firehouse meetings. But I'll make an exception" Bobby says side hugging both Athena and Jac.
"Sorry I brought Jude but I didn't have anyone to watch him he doesn't bite I promise I hope it's alright" Jac says worried she loves Jude but it was always a hit or miss walking into a place with a very social six year old.
"It's fine Jac we love kids" Bobby reassures as Jac sits down with Jude.
Athena walks up to buck and sticks her hand out "Oh. Well. You know, I ain't sold on you yet, but I think keeping me from getting shot deserves a second chance. Hey, there won't be a third, though."
"Buck here is having a little trouble moving on from a call that didn't go his way" Bobby tells mainly Athena because Jac was busy playing with Jude.
"Oh. You know why they make us wear these uniforms right cops, firefighters, paramedics?" Athena asks turning to buck seeing he was zoned out looking at Jac and Jude laughing together.
"Uh... sex appeal" Chimney answers and then immediately turns to see Jac glaring at him while she covers Jude's ears. Buck shakes his head at the interaction and responds "So people can easily identify us."
"Both true, but it's also for our own good. Because when we take the uniform off at the end of the day, it symbolizes letting go of all of the sad,crazy, inhumane things we've seen that day" Athena says as Jac nods from the end of the table agreeing with Athena. Jackie has seen more death than most people her age from her father to former colleagues in both the army and the station.
