       It had been 6 years since Harper had been found.  Stella and Kelly had been married for 6 years and had a 6 year old son, Jackson Reece Severide, a dark blonde haired, deep blue eyed, very adventurous boy. He and his sister had a very strong bond. Things were okay for the family. There had been many tragedy since that day, Otis died and Benny Severide died. Things seemed to be the hardest on 12 year old, Harper.

       "Wake up, we have to go" I yelled in both of my kid's rooms. "Really dad, do i have to?" Harper asked walking out of her room. It seemed as she was mad or upset most of the time. She had a rough spot, being that my dad died a year ago and Otis died a few months ago. Her and Otis were bestfriends, i've never seen anyone closer. Me and her are close but with everything going on, it seems like she drifted away from everyone, although her and her brother, Jackson, were very close. "Yeah dad, me and Harp can stay home today" Jackson said. "I'll watch Jax today, we don't have to follow you everywhere" Harper said. We called Jackson, "Jax", most of the time because it was shorter. "Yeah i guess, don't open the door for anyone, i have to go because i have to meet Stella at work" i said rushing out the door. "Not like you ever have time for us anyway" Harper said sadly. "I agree with Harp.." Jax said while they both walked to their room. I stopped for a minute when they said that and almost ran after them but i would be late for work if i did so i just left. I'll talk to them later, i said to myself.

       "Well i guess dad's gone, what do you want to do?" i asked my little brother. "We could go exploring outside" he said while trying to think of good ideas. "Dad said not to unlock the door" i said sarcastically. "When do we ever listen to him?" Jax said full of mischief. I ruffled his hair. "Good point, go get dressed" i said as he ran to his room.
        Jax wore a grey long sleeve shirt and some blue jeans. I put on my grey sweat pants, a blue Adidas t-shirt, and a grey firehouse 51 hoodie.
        "You ready?" i asked. He nodded his head excitedly and we headed out of the door.
          When we were heading towards the road we heard a loud crash and then a loud breath-taking scream. We look to our right and see that a car had crashed, or fell into a huge gulley (a huge hole). This is great, no neighbors around us, just woods, i thought sarcastically. We had moved into a new house, with more room, where there's no neighbors and barely any cell reception.
         When we made it over to the car we saw that there was two people, a man and what looked like a little boy about Jax's age. We immediately crawled down in the gulley trying to help any way we can.
           "Hey can you guys hear me?" i ask from outside of the vehicle. The man and little boy nod. "Okay, what's your name?" I said them. "I'm Luke, and that's my dad, David" the the little boy said. "Okay Luke, that's great, i'm going to break this glass and get you, cover your eyes, okay?" "Okay, hurry please". I look over and grab a rock to break the glass because the doors where jammed shut.
           I then broke the glass and grabbed Luke. "Hey, are you hurt anywhere?" i ask him. "my side hurts" he responds shrieking in pain. I then lift his shirt and see a gash in his side. "Jax, did you grab the first aid?" i ask. "Yeah, here's the gauze" he says, basically throwing the gauze at me. I then wrapped the little boy's wound. "I'm going to get your dad now, okay?" "Okay". "Jax, Luke, I may need your help." They nod, trying to help any way they can.
         I then pull the man out of the car. Geez i didn't know i had that much strength, must be the adrenaline. "Hey... David, where are you hurt?" He then pulls his pants leg up revealing a break in the leg, with blood pushing out. Both me and the boys wince at the sight. "Hey, Jax, Luke, i need you guys to find me a sturdy stick of some sort, or a piece of wood" they then run off hurriedly, trying to find something.
          They come back a minute later with a big tree limb. I then began to stint the man's leg, with the tree limb, gauze and tape.
             I finish in a couple of minutes. "I'm no doctor, but that will most likely save your leg" i say and give him a half-assed grin, he painfully grins in return. I then taped a piece of gauze on a gash on his jaw. "You guys will be okay for now" i say. "How do you know how to do this?" he asked, shocked by my actions. "My aunts are paramedics and my dad and uncles are firefighters, i watch them do stuff like this almost every day." i say proudly. "Well you're damn good" he says and we slightly chuckle.
           "I'm going to go grab my phone, i'll be right back, Jax stay here" i say sternly. As i start climbing up the side of the gulley, i feel my hands slipping, and i had already climbed about 6 feet off the ground. I then feel myself falling, and everything went black.
             "Harper, Harper, come on you have to wake up!" i hear Jax saying, while standing over me. I then feel a gut wrenching pain in my head and back. "ow" i say, in between grunts, slowly getting up. "Woah Harp, your head is got a huge gash in it!" Jax said with fear in his voice. "I'll be fine" i say and sit up completely.
           "That was a damn hard fall there kiddo" David says and we laugh painfully. "Now i know how my dad feels whenever he falls through apartment rooms" i say humorously. "That's a tough job there" he says and rubs his head. "Yeah but i wouldn't want to be anything else, all i ever want to do is help people, just like my dad and all of firehouse 51, a hero" i say and look into the distance. "You're definitely going to be a hell of a firefighter, that's for sure, truck or squad?" he asks. "Preferably squad, that's what my dad does and i want to be just like him" i say. "I see that you like adventure, just like my boy" and he looks at Levi and smiles. "Yes sir, i live for it" i say.
              "I'm going to attempt to get my phone again" i say with a laugh. "Be careful sissy" Jax says. "Of course buddy i say and give him a half smirk.
             I then make it up the gulley, successful this time, and head for my phone. I then get it and immediately dial 911, asking for firefighters and ambulances.
             "They're on the way" i say and climb back down into the gulley. "You're awesome kid, if i were your dad i'd be very proud" he said smiling. I liked hearing that, all i ever want to do is make dad proud of me, it'll feel good to finally do so.
           After a few minutes we then hear sirens in the distance. I climb up the gulley quickly and wave them over. Yes it was Firehouse 51.
              "Over here!" i then began yelling and they immediately head in my direction. Truck 81 and Squad 3 then pull up beside me. "Harper! Are you okay?!" Dad says and runs over to me. "I'm good but i need help with them" i say and point into the gulley. "i'll go in with you and harness the kids and you can help me with David" i say looking at dad. He looks unsure about me going back down. "Please i've did it this far" i say and he gives in.
               "Here, i'll be up in just a second with your dad" i say and harness Levi. "Jax! Are you okay buddy?" dad says as he hugs Jax. "Yeah i'm okay, but look at Harper's head!" he says and points at my head, which i forgot was still gushing blood. "Woah, Harper get up there and get that checked out now!" Dad said, concerned, but stern. "Hold on, come here Jax" i say and harness my little brother. "I'll be up in just a second" "Okay but be careful" he says and i kiss his dirty forehead.
               "You got him?" Dad asks as he lifts David up in the gurney. "Yeah, lieutenant!" Cruz says. "Okay come here Harp, connect to my harness and let's go up" Dad says while harnessing me to him.
              Whenever we get to the top, Dad rushes me over to Brett and Gabby while they get David's vitals. "Dad i'm fine!" i say trying to break free of his grip. too late. "Woah kid, that's a nasty cut" they say and put gauze to my head.
              "How's he?" i ask while looking at David. "He'll be fine, thanks to you, you saved his life and his leg" they say smiling. "Really?!" i ask in shock. "Yeah kiddo, you saved me and my son's life" David said looking at me. Dad then put his around around me. "Are you her dad?" David said looking at my dad. "Yes sir i am". "Well you've raised her right, she's a great kid, and all she's talked about was wanting to be just like her dad and wanting to make him proud" David says smiling. He really just put me on the spot like that. "I've never been more proud of anyone on my life" he says proudly and tightens his grip up on me. I did it, i made him proud.
               "Hey, your head isn't bleeding anymore!" Jax exclaimed running over to me. I brought him into a bear hug and picked him up. "When i get older i want to be just like you sissy, you saved two people, your the most awesome person i know!". I feel so loved, this is definitely the best day ever. "She makes us proud, huh bubs?" dad said and looked at me and my brother. "Yess, sissy is awesome!". "Damn right" he said and hugged us.

•Later that night•
"So you really meant that you wanted to be just like me?" dad asks. "Of course, you're the coolest and best dad ever.". "You make me so proud, you know that?" he said. "You know who else would be proud?" he said and looked me right in the eyes. "Who?" i asked curiously. "Your mother, Grandpa Benny, Aunt Shay, and..... Otis." He says. I immediately feel myself tearing up so i look away. "You know you don't have to be so strong all the time right?" he turns so he's looking at me. "Yes i do..... if i cry i'll look weak and firefighters aren't weak" i said firmly. "Who told you that? because even your dad cries sometimes, Stella cries, Uncle Cruz cries, and even Uncle Hank cries, even though he seems like a tough ole cop." he says, which makes me smile. "Thanks dad" i said and hugged him. "But seriously i'm so proud of you, you and your brother are my biggest accomplishments in this world." he says and kisses my head. I smile and nod my head. "Night Kiddo, I love you" he says. "Love you too" i say and he closes the door. This day has been great....legendary.
