A\N: This is an A\U story that I got from starting to watch the TV show "Blue Bloods" again; This story is based on the format of the show. The format though is all its getting from Blue Bloods as although comment themes may come up I'm going to go different ways with it bases on my own characters and the ones I'm borrowing from Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. This is going to be about family and how it relates to the job (like on Blue Bloods) so that's why its in the Chicago PD section.

Disclaimer: I do not own Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, NBC, Global, Blue Bloods, CBS, CTV and I made up the name of the high-school St. Margret Mary as I don't know if there really is one in Chicago.

Spoilers: None

Warnings: None

Chapter One

Detective Antonio Dawson sat in the waiting room of the Superintendent's office; he had been summoned he was sure do to his overly aggressive nature on a current case. He had given a man a pretty bad beating and the man was now threatening to sue the department.

"The Superintendent will see you now," A secretary walked over to him.

"Thanks," He stood and was led into the large office.

"Detective Dawson's here Sir," The Secretary announced.

"Thanks Alyssa," The Superintendent said as he briefly looked up from the file in front of him.

Alyssa nodded and left the room.

"Detective Dawson," The Superintendent looked up at his Detective and let out a deep sigh, "I'm sure you know the severity of the situation we're in."

"Yes Sir, but I-"

"I know the Intelligence Unit runs on its own agenda son. You're a good Detective and that's why you were chosen for that team. I know you do things off the record but now its coming back to haut all of us."

Antonio ran his fingers through his hair and family looked up at his father. He had just been appointed Superintendent of the Chicago Police department five months ago, around the same time the new Intelligence Unit was formed and he was selected for it.

For reasons his father could not tell him a Detective often suspected of being dirty was promoted to Sergeant and given the reigns of the new unit and the choice to choose his own tea. As Antonio and the others quickly learnt Hank Voight liked to do this his own way and although they solved high-profile cases and out bad guys away his methods often came under fire; now Antonio was being questioned for what he had done. Needles to say if Eduardo had problems with his son being in that unit before he certainly did now.

"I told IA everything!" Antonio told his father, "He fought back, didn't look like he had any broken ribs then. It must have been after we released him, we were trailing him and when he went back to get the murder weapon we arrested him."

"Yes, that's all here in the report but he went inside a building and your unit didn't enter.

"Yes, but that's where we think he got into another fight as Officers Burgrass and Roman said he was limping pretty badly when he came out."

"Yes, yes that's in the report as well." He looked back down at the file and then up at his son, "The reason I pulled you off shift to report here was because in his complaint Mr. Summers identifies you as the detective who gave him the broken ribs."

"And because your new to the job you have to be hard on me," He finished. "When Voight didn't tell me why you sent for me I figured that was it. I'm sure you know my district chief is suspending me without pay for a week pending the hearing."

"Yes I am aware of that but I'm afraid I'm going to have to put this in your permanent file if the committee finds you guilty."

"Yes Sir Superintendent," Antonio said, a slight change of attitude, "May I go now I'm going to use my time off to visit my siblings."

"Yes you may go," Eduardo dismissed him, "By the way as your father that tone isn't a good thing to use with the Superintendent or me."

"Thanks Pop," Antonio waved and walked out of the office.

He got into his car and started driving. He was telling his father the truth, he was going to visit his younger brothers and sisters, and he knew which one to start with. Gabriela was the youngest of the five siblings and was born when he was ten years old. Ever since she was little they had gotten along great and if forced to pick between his younger siblings he'd choose her, as the one he liked the best.

Firehouse fifty-one where she worked as a Paramedic in Charge was only less then two blocks away from District Twenty-One where he now worked. He drove past the district and parked outside the firehouse. Getting out of his car he walked onto the apparatus floor.

"Hey Gab's!" He called to his sister.

"Hey Tonio," She jumped down from the ambulance she and her partner Leslie Shay were stocking. "Your suspension start today?"

"Well what a nice greeting to give your favourite brother," He smirked but hugged her and gave her a kiss on the cheek anyways.

"Favourite brother? Now I don't know about that."

Antonio grabbed his heart in mock horror, "Oh Gabriela that hurts."

"You'll live," She informed him jumping down from the ambulance.

"So where's my future brother in-law?" he asked changing the subject.

"In the living area." Her fiancée of just under a week was Matthew Casey Truck eighty-one's Lieutenant. Prior to getting engaged they had dated for just shay of a year and a half.

"Thanks," He took off in that direction with Gabby and Leslie Shay following him. He walked into the common room and nobody even moved. It was perfectly normal to see Gabby's three older brothers and older sister coming around the firehouse.

"Hey Antonio," Matt stood from his chair and gave the older man a quick hug, "How's the investigation going?"

He shrugged, "I'm not here to talk about that. Just wanted to check in."

"We're fine," Gabby, told him, "You should go and help Laura with the store."

"Nah she always says I scare the costumer's away," Antonio chuckled, "I think I might pick up Diego and Alexa from school. Maybe Eva and Emily too." His daughter Eva was in grade nine and went to the same high school as his niece Emily who was also in grade nine. His son Diego was in grade three at the same school his niece Alexa was in grade six at.

"That's a good idea," Gabby said smiling, "How's Eva liking high-school anyways?"

"It's been two weeks so it's going alright so far; at least that's all she's telling me. She tells Laura more things."

"That's understandable; I'll ask her about it on Sunday."

"If she tells you about any boy let me know."

"Yeah I don't think so Antonio. I still remember how you used to scare off my boyfriends. Other then Pop you were the worst one."

"That's what big brothers are for," He reminded her.

"Yeah well you, Javi and Marko certainly ganged up on every guy that took an interest in me."

"Hey, it paid off. You finally chose a good man."

"Thanks," She smiled and hugged her brother. Just then the call bells went off and everyone rushed onto the apparatus floor.

Watching them leave Antonio walked back to his car. He thought about where t go next and realized that, three of his siblings might be out working cases or patrolling. His younger sister, the second oldest child was a Homicide Detective working out of district three, his younger brother Javier an Assistant-District Attorney and his youngest brother Marko a patrol officer out of district twelve. He could go and visit Javi but he figured his brother would be to busy to talk to him as although he was close to both his brothers and sisters, like he and Gabby got along the best he and Javier had always argued the most; even as adults they disagreed on everything from the colour of the clouds to politics.

Seeing as it was almost lunch Antonio decided a better course of action would be to go and help out his wife at her bakery. Laura had been his wife for nearly fifteen years. They had gotten married when they were in there early twenties but had known each other almost al their lives having met in grade seven when Laura and her family moved into the neighbourhood.

He parked his car on the street paid the meter and walked into the shop, despite the fact that the sign still said closed for lunch.

"I'll be opening back up in-" Laura walked into the front of the shop talking as if Antonio were an ordinary customer.

"Figured you wouldn't mind me coming in," He smiled.

"Hhm," She pretended to think and walked over to him and kissed his lips, "Yeah you're right maybe you can come in early," She smiled looking up into his eyes. "You hungry? I was just about to make myself a sandwich."

"I'm always hungry for anything you make babe," He kissed her and took her hand walking back into the kitchen.

"Uh-huh Antonio," She began preparing their lunches while he watched her, "How long you suspended for?"

"A week. I would have been here sooner but I got called down to the Superintendent's office."

"Oh?"

"Yeah, my old man chewed me out for being in Intelligence again," He sighed, "It's like I can't win. You didn't like it when I was in Vice and now this…" He rubbed his face, "I don't care what my parents think though."

"Yes you do Antonio; and for the last time you leaving Vice was a joint decision. So Intelligence is a little edgy, you're a good detective and I know you don't use those tactics Voight does. You have to give your father a break too; he's still getting used to the job an you getting into trouble isn't helping him."

He took a bite out of his sandwich and chewed and swallowed it before saying. "I don't know how but you always manage to know just what to say."

She reached up and kiss his cheek, "It's a gift. Now go and call your mother and tell her you can pick up the kids after school, oh and you might as well get Alexa and Emily."

Antonio sat in his car and watched the children walk out of St. Margret Mary Catholic High-school. He saw his daughter and niece hug some other girls and walk towards the van talking and laughing. As they got into the van he looked back and smiled. He had sent his daughter a text message to tell her he'd be picking them up; he knew school rules said that cell phones had to be kept in lockers but he didn't expect his daughter, or any other child to follow that rule. He was all right with it as long as she didn't text during class and didn't use it for bullying or to cheat.

"Hi girls."

"Hi Dad."

"Hi Uncle Antonio."

"You girls have a good day?"

They looked at each other and started giggling.

As he started up the car he eyed them, "What's so funny?"

"Nothing Dad," Eva's face blushed chrisom red, "Can't you like not listen to us talk?"

"No, besides we have to pick up Diego and Alexa at their school."

At this both teenagers let out a groan and sighed.

"Dad Diego's getting to be really annoying."

"That's because he's your younger brother; it's his job to bug you."

"But Emily and I want to talk about… you know things and…. Just when are we going to be home?"

"After we pick up your brother and cousin."

"Okay," She nodded and turned to Emily and they continued to talk.
