A/N: for the all intents and purposes of this story, Jay Halstead and Gabby Dawson were never in a romantic relationhip with each. They are simply friends in this story.

(Gif not mine)

Y/N Dawson, eldest daughter of Antonio Dawson with his high school sweetheart. There is a ten-year age gap between you and Eva and a twelve-year age gap with Diego. You grew up with your mom who always loved your dad, Antonio Dawson but they didn't work out and Antonio married Laura, who treated you like her daughter. You and your dad, Antonio, was close growing up and you knew the dangers of having a cop as a father. But you loved your dad and you admired his work integrity. You didn't follow your dad's footsteps though but became a trauma surgeon instead.

Y/N knew the dangers that came with being a cop and over the years. As a daughter of a cop, you had witnessed your dad be in multiple life and death situations before. The endless worry and heartache you felt for your dad, Antonio, helped you decide the path for your career. You no longer wanted to idly sit for news of a loved on in the waiting room of hospitals. Instead, if you could do something, then you would rather be able to do something rather than sitting on the side doing nothing.

But you also had a passion for food. So you opened a food truck business which you worked in partnership with your childhood best friend who became a chef.

To incorporate your personalities in the food truck business, you and your best friend decided to catering food from healthy to not so healthy foods for on-the-go people. You also served Grandma Dawson's special mac n cheese on the food truck, a recipe you learned from your Aunt Gabby, your dad's younger sister.

A few years later, you became a trauma surgeon at Chicago Med, and after opening a restaurant also with your best friend and still maintaining the food truck, your dad, Antonio, gets recruited into the Intelligence Unit. You had already met your dad's new boss before, a man notoriously known for being a bad cop. But you knew even with his rough exterior, he was the type of man who had your back and would do anything for family.

You met your dad's team, the Intelligence unit, when you and your dad were supposed to have lunch together but he ended up not going since he got called in. Being the good daughter you are, since it was your day-off from being a surgeon, you brought the food truck outside of the 21st Precinct and even delivered multiple meal sets, one of each of your dad's team and of course, Sgt. Platt. You met Sgt. Platt after there was an attempt on your life while your dad was still a rookie cop. She took care of you while other police officers went out and looked for the people responsible of your almost death.

Anyways, back to meeting the Intelligence Unit.

You had brought Sgt. Platt's favorite sandwich from your food truck and a slice of your special sans rival cake along with all your best sellers from your food truck. When you had approached the front desk and greeted Platt, she buzzed you up so you could give everyone their food. Your dad saw you first and hugged you in greeting.
"Y/N! I'm so sorry I canceled our lunch date. I'll make it up to you, okay?" Antonio, your dad asked and you smiled. You understood. Then you saw Sergeant Hank Voight come out of his office and you smiled at him. The man nodded at you in greeting while you gave your dad the lunch sets and you approached Voight with his usual order.
"Thanks kiddo. Sorry for taking your dad away from you for lunch." Voight said to you and you waved him off. You were used to your dad canceling on you but you didn't mind. You always brought food for him and his co-workers whenever he can't make it your father-daughter lunch date.
"Wait...you're Dawson's daughter?" Someone from the team asked and you turned around to face  them.
"Yeah, nice to meet you all. Y/N Dawson. Thanks for having my old man's back out there." You told the team. Each team member introduced themselves to you.
"Hey, I am not that old." Antonio replied as he made a fake hurt expression at you.
"Sorry, dad. You're older than me so you're still an old man to me." You told Antonio while the rest of the team laughed at your father-daughter banter.
"Anyways...I'll let you get back to work. If you guys get hungry, just give me a call. I parked my food truck outside the precinct but I only got permission up until 6pm then I'll have to move. Dad knows my number and what time I close so yeah. Go kick some ass!" You told the team, hugged your dad and then left.
