A/N - Set when Meg was around 5/6. Decided it would be nice to explore Kate, Meg and Chris's life a little before Kate joined the unit.
"Abracadabra!" A young Meg exclaimed as Kate came down the stairs, ready to take her niece trick or treating on Halloween night.
"You got me!" Kate exclaimed lightheartedly. "You ready?"
"Yes Kate." She answered cutely. "Lets go!" She continued excitedly.
"Okay, okay." Kate answered and put her shoes on before leaving the house with her niece.
They walked around the neighbourhood together, knocking on the doors of friendly neighbours and only those houses whom had decorations up for Halloween.
They were out for around an hour in the crisp October air, hearing sounds of kids running round the streets. Kate was happy to have this time to spend with her niece, who had become more a daughter to her over the last 5 years.
When they arrived home Chris had got back from work and was making a special Halloween themed dinner. "How are my two favourite girls today?" He asked.
"We're good." Kate answered and hugged her husband.
"Glad." He answered pausing. "Did you get lots of sweets Meg?"
"Yes Chris!" She exclaimed happily. "Come and see." She answered, inviting him over to look in the pumpkin shaped bucket.
"Wow! You did get a lot of sweets! All for me right?" He teased.
"No." Meg answered. "You should have gone yourself."
Kate laughed. "She's right Chris."
"You girls are always ganging up on me." He responded jokingly.
"Oh Chris. Don't shout, everyone will want us ganging up on them." Kate answered, smiling. She was so happy where she was right now. She was in a stable marriage, was the guardian to the most adorable little girl and had a job she loved.
