A/N- I hope y'all enjoy this! This has been an idea that I've had for a while, but haven't really had time to write. I've been developing my story plots for a while, and I'm so excited to finally be writing it. I kinda see Lindsey as looking something like Abigail Breslin. Anyways, please review! Hope you like it! I'm posting the first three chapters tonight, but normally it will only be one.
Oh, and I'll try to update it several times a week, and at some point this month I'll be adding on to my other stories. The chapters to this will be about 700-1,200 words each, so that I can try to get more done faster. I feel like that's a fair amount, but let me know what you think about the length. Please review!
1x01-
Lindsey Reagan sighed. She was sitting in her Uncle Jamie's NYPD academy graduation, and she was bored out of her mind. She was sitting with her cousin Nicky, and they were whispering to each other over their grandfather's speech. He was the commissioner of the NYC Police Department, and while both girls knew they should listen, they had no interest. They were both 14, and Lindsey didn't understand why they were being forced to come. She wanted to come and support her Uncle, but she didn't appreciate not being given the choice. She protested, but neither of her parents had budged.
"It means a lot to your uncle. Family comes first around here, and you know that." Linda had tried to reason with her daughter. It didn't work.
"He gave up a lawyer job for this, and he worked really hard to get through the academy. He's working to keep the city safe and the least you can do is show up to see him graduate. If not for him, do it because your Uncle Joe would have gone, and he can't. He would've been so proud…" Danny told her. That had gotten to her. Lindsey had stopped fighting it, knowing her dad was right. So here she was, making faces at Nicky, as the two pointed out cute graduates to each other. She was earning glares from her parents, but they were more focused on her younger brothers Sean and Jack, and she didn't care anyway. Her parents were strict, but she knew that they wouldn't get onto her this time. She did realize that her grandfather deserved more respect though; the girls tried to pay attention for the rest of the ceremony, and as the names were being called, no one was more excited than Lindsey to hear the name of Jamie Reagan.
Lindsey was a lot like her Uncle Jamie, so out of her brothers and cousin, Lindsey had the best relationship with him. She had been close to her Uncle Joe, but when he died she and Jamie started talking more. Lindsey and Nicky had always been close, but when the girls began middle school, they became best friends. Lindsey had started spending much more time with her uncle too though, and the two definitely had a special bond. While her mom had some siblings too, she had no desire to spend tons of time with them or her kids, so almost all of her family time was spent with her dad's side of the family. She spent at least an hour each week with jut Jamie though, and they had just finished restoring her Uncle Joe's Chevelle. The two had developed a special bond, and no one had been surprised when Lindsey ran over to her uncle and gave him a giant hug after the ceremony. The whole family was proud, but the smile on Lindsey's face couldn't be matched by anyone but Jamie.
"Congrats, Uncle Jamie!" Lindsey exclaimed, giving Jamie another hug.
"Thanks Lindy." He grinned back at her, using her nickname. As everyone else congratulated him, Lindsey couldn't help but glare at Jamie's fiancée, Sydney. She wasn't a big fan of her, but she trusted that her uncle knew what he was doing, and that things would work out okay. That Sunday at family dinner though, Lindsey couldn't help but be excited that she wasn't there. Despite Nicky's breakdown, it was the best Sunday dinner that Lindsey could remember. Not only was Sydney not there, but she loved the stories that her uncle shared. The siblings banter between her dad and Aunt Erin were hilarious, and her dad didn't usually tell Lindsey or her brothers stories from work, so when her aunt had told the story about how her dad had dunked someone's head in the toilet, Lindsey about spit her drink everywhere from laughter.
Lindsey went home in a great mood that night, extremely thankful for her family. She couldn't wait to laugh with her brothers about how their dad had dunked a guy's head in the toilet. The three siblings were close, and this was definitely something for them to talk about. Even though she knew he would probably get in trouble for it, Lindsey was sure that the guy deserved it, and she was pretty sure it was the funniest story she had ever heard.
