Hello, world! I'm so excited to be presenting my first ever stories for the Chicago franchise! Until opens the Chicago Med fandom, these will be posted in both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D., also limiting me to what characters I can post,but there will be lots of characters crossing over in both stories! Sorry to be inaccurate to the fandom, but in both stories Will will be the older brother. They kind of screwed up the casting on that one, considering that Nick looks older than Jesse, but they're still too cute! These stories will be my take on him, but he comes around as the chapters go on. Also, since I'm new to this fandom, go easy on me if anybody appears to be out of character. I'm still getting into the groove of writing these characters. I hope you enjoy and spread the word! :) The title of this story was inspired by Cold War Kids' song "First", which I do not own!

Chapter One: Blowing In

A nip was picking up in the air on this cloudless Chicago day, one that could even be felt through rolled up car windows. Snow Greyson contemplated whether or not to turn up the heat in her Audi, but decided against it. According to her iPhone GPS, she was less than five minutes away from her destination.

2061 Kolodony Street, Chicago, Illinois, her new address. This was the first time Snow would be living away from home and in a new state. While attending the University of Michigan to get her associate's and bachelor's of science in nursing degrees, she had made the hour and a half commute there and back in between working at Bronner's Christmas Wonderland.

This hadn't been an easy move at first. Her parents wanted to know why she couldn't just work at the hospital in her hometown of Frankenmuth since it was so expensive to live in the city. Her college boyfriend Skeet wasn't too fond of her going to Chicago and the crime the streets held. Her baby brother Leaf was still too young to understand but had clung to her leg bawling his eyes out when she tried to leave.

Regardless of all that, she still packed up almost everything she owned in a Uhaul and left home at eight in the morning. Snow had to remember that this wasn't for her family, it was for herself, to start the foundation that would build her future. At twenty four years old, it was about time she broke out on her own. Compared to Frankmuth's five thousand population, Snow would definitely be the little fish in the big Chicago pond of two to ten million, but she was ready to dive in head first.

Pulling up to the second townhouse on the right, the neighborhood was pretty vacant, but looked exactly like the pictures on Craigslist. Snow smiled when she saw a blonde waving and parked her car in front, practically jumping out she was so excited.

"Hi, Snow! Welcome to Chicago!"

"Hi, Sylvie! It's great to be here!"

The two girls hugged each other. Having talked over Skype a few times and almost daily texting, they were both surprised how normal the other seemed to be, the risk of coming across a psychopath is always present whenever meeting through Craigslist. So far, Sylvie Brett was the same sweet girl Snow had been conversing with for the past month.

"Did you have a hard time finding the place?"

Snow shook her head, grabbing her tote and following Sylvie inside. "Nope, not at all. It was a pretty peaceful drive, too." She looked around the townhouse, pleasantly surprised that it also looked exactly like the pictures that had been emailed to her. An open kitchen, office, den, bathroom and foyer made up the downstairs while upstairs there were two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The downstairs was decorated with different framed pictures, potpourris, and wallflowers plugged in, the scents of warm vanilla and candy apple wafting in the air. "My mom adores the Bath and Body wallflowers."

"Aren't they great? I know, I kind of went all out sprucing the place up, I was just glad that I found a roommate that wasn't off their rocker."

"Well, unless you count crying at Disney movies crazy, other than that I'm totally normal."

"I'm the exact same way, the end of Tangled had me bawling like a baby."

"Me too!"

They laughed, filling the room. She had only been around Sylvie in person for a few minutes, but Snow liked her. She was very sweet and had a good head on her shoulders. In a way, they were similar. Sylvie has called off her wedding and dumped her childhood sweetheart to become an EMT, gaining her independence, which a lot of people would have been too afraid to do. Before leaving Michigan, Snow broke up with Skeet, wanting to find herself, which was exactly what she was going to do.

"Here, sit down. I'll text Otis and Cruz and let them know you're here. Do you want something to drink?" Sylvie asked as she walked into the kitchen.

"Sure, I'll have some tea." Snow sat down on the couch. "It's so nice of your friends to come over and help me set up. Thanks so much and I love the color you went with for the room, it's pretty."

"They had nothing to do on a Saturday, and they owed me one because I sang at this wedding at the firehouse for them, so I figured why not cash in the favor now?"

"Wow, you sing? That's so cool! They sound like good guys."

Sylvie shrugged, boiling the water. "Eh, it's not something I do often, to be honest. More for fun. I work with the guys down at Station 51, Cruz and I were dating up until a few months ago."

"And you're still friends? That's not always easy, I commend you. Before I left, I told Skeet we would still be friends, but he kind of brushed me off. He may be taking this kind of hard, we were together since freshman year of college, so just hitting six years."

The tea kettle whistled, the water ready. "That must have been difficult, my ex fiancé and I were together longer than that. Is Celestial ok?"

Snow nodded. "Yes, my favorite. Black cherry if you have it. Do you miss him though?"

"Of course I do, but everything happens for a reason. I think I just needed to break away and prove that I can stand on my own. If I had to do it all over again, I would." Sylvie walked over with two coffee mugs and poured the water in. "Otis and Cruz are pretty cool, so are the rest of the guys. If you're feeling up to it, tonight after we get you settled in I'll take you to Molly's. It's the bar we all hang out at, I'm sure you'll probably meet a person or two from the hospital."

Starting Monday, Snow would be working as a nurse at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, so it would do her some good to meet a few of her future coworkers before the first day.

"Are there cute guys?" She asked with a laughing smile.

"Oh, absolutely!"

"Then I'm in!" Snow raised her mug. "Cheers, to new friends, fresh starts and cute guys!"

They clinked their mugs.

"Cheers."

8:45 PM

Snow studied her reflection in the bathroom mirror, contemplating if she should change her outfit for the umpteenth time. She was currently wearing black pants, a black and grey sweatshirt/canvas jacket, a grey T shirt and charcoal colored boots.

Like most girls, Snow had her own insecurities. She could never tell if she was being looked at or looked through, especially when it came to guys. Most people would consider her attractive or beautiful, she had even been told she was hot on more than one occasion, but she couldn't always see it.

Her hair, which was naturally a deep chocolate brown, went to just above the small of her back and now had peekaboo colors of fuschia and baby blue in it. Her eyes were down turned and light grey (which was ironic considering her last name was "Greyson"), but still popped, even more so with eyeliner and mascara.

Having been an all star on the track and volleyball teams in high school, Snow was toned but happened to have a bit of an hourglass/pear body shape, making her look hippier than she would have liked, especially when it came to finding that perfect pair of jeans. Naturally, it resulted in a lot of unwanted attention, so she usually dressed in baggy clothes to conceal her figure.

"Snow! Are you ready?" Sylvie knocked on the door.

"Yeah!" Snow applied a sparkly topcoat to her already pink glossed pearlique style lips before opening the door. "I'm ready."

"Wow, you look great! You certainly will be attracting a lot of attention tonight."

"Thanks, same for you." Sylvie was wearing a loose shirt with tight jeans, managing to look like a supermodel in casual cool. Snow couldn't help but be a little jealous, it was probably a cake walk for her to pick an outfit and walk out the door.

"Alright, let's go."

MOLLY'S, FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER

"Here it is, our home away from home." Sylvie smiled as she and Snow walked through the door. Snow looked around, taking in the sights of the various fire plaques and Chicago sports memorabilia, white Christmas lights bunched up on the ceiling. It resembled any other bar that one would see on television, everybody was paired off, laughing and drinking, a flat screen TV and 80's music blasting from the stereo. She couldn't help but think of the bars back in Frankenmuth where all the kids from school would hang out since they didn't card.

"Sylvie, hi!"

A brunette waved to them from across the bar.

"Hey! I'll be right there."

Sylvie turned to Snow, who was looking around, her hands in her pockets. "Come on, I want to introduce you to my friends." She grabbed Snow by the hand, leading her over to the bar. "Snow Greyson, this is Kim Burgess, she's a police officer over at Chicago P.D."

"Hi, great to meet you!"

"Likewise, welcome to the Windy City."

"Hey, Brett, is this the new girl?"

Snow looked over to see a short man with thinning salt and pepper hair and a bit of a high pitched voice walk up.

"Yep, this is her."

"Snow Greyson."

The man gave her a big smile, extending his hand forward. "Chris Herrmann. A newbie friend of ours gets free drinks on the house their first night. What can I get ya, Snow White?"

Snow's face lit up. "Really? That's awesome, thanks! Um, I'm not that much of a drinker, how about a strawberry lemonade?"

Herrmann cracked a smile. "Not a drinker, huh? I'm sure we'll make one of you yet. Coming right up."

"Snow," Sylvie nudged her. "I want to introduce you to the rest of the firehouse squad."

"Alright, I'm down." Snow smiled to herself, the warmth enveloping her. It had only been less than a day and she already felt so accepted by these strangers who would soon become her friends.

AN HOUR LATER

"I couldn't believe how the season ended, with Emma being the new Dark One!"

"Neither could I, but I'm so glad Regina and Robin are back together!"

"Me too." Snow added, sighing in content. "They're such a cute couple. I totally get the feels whenever I watch."

So far, everything was off to a great start. In addition to Kim, Sylvie had introduced Snow to Chili, the paramedic in charge that drove in the ambulance with her, and Gabby Dawson, a fellow firefighter at 51. The girls didn't mind at all when she commented how cute Chili's friend with benefits Jimmy and Kim and Gabby's fiancés Adam and Matt were. Everybody here was so welcoming and friendly, it was all she could have asked for. Now, she was sitting with Sylvie, Kim and Chili talking about Once Upon A Time.

"It's awesome to meet some fans of the show. I'm surprised you guys have time to watch anything, or how I will, either."

"Gotta love that DVR." Kim said.

"Totally. I'll be right back, I need to use the restroom." Snow got up, excusing herself. The girls waited until she was gone to burst into big smiles.

"Oh, my gosh, she is so cute!"

"I know, isn't she?" Sylvie smiled, knowing that everybody would take an instant liking to her new roommate.

"She's adorable, except I can't help but notice she has a bit of an eye contact problem or is that just me?" Kim asked.

Sylvie shook her head. "No, it's not. Snow mentioned it to me on the way over here but I noticed when we first met. I think it happens when she feels timid or uncomfortable."

"I'm good at reading people, I can tell she's got a fierceness to her." Chili sipped her Goldschlager. "Maybe she needs to get out more, does she have a boyfriend in Frankenmuth still or no?"

"They just broke up, but she said she's interested in getting back out there."

"How about Severide?"

"I'm not sure, he's charming enough but isn't he involved with that chick that stopped by the firehouse the other day?"

"There's Mouse over at P.D., he's pretty cute." Kim suggested.

"Hmm," Chili nodded. "I can see the potential with him, they're both kind of shy... Or maybe not. Shit, we'd have to make all the moves for both of them."

"Who knows, it could work."

There was silence between them, until Kim's face lit up and she snapped her fingers. "Hey! What about-"

Sylvie held her hand out and shook her head. "Nu-uh, no way."

"What? He's attractive in his own way and he's our friend."

"It's not his looks, it's that he's kind of a playboy. I've seen him with multiple girls since he's been here, he's not really a one woman type. She's good-natured but being from kind of a small town might have made her a bit puerile. I was the same way when I first got here."

There was a silence at the table, letting the words sink in. It wasn't necessarily a bad quality, if anything, it added to Snow's overall kindness.

Kim shrugged. "I suppose you're right."

"Well, there's the other two, so it won't be a total bust." Chili agreed.

Sylvie nodded, sipping her wine. "That's true. There's no way my new roommate is going out with Will Halstead."
