Jordan- 18

Hank had finally retired from the CPD something nobody thought would ever happen, he'd done it so he could be with his daughter and he was now realizing that his little girl was grown. Jordan had turned 18 and was fresh outta high school it was as if Hank blinked and in the blink of an eye Jordan had went from an innocent little baby to a bright, smart young woman and everyday she looked just like her mother but had his temper.

Now that Jordan was out of high school she had secretly applied to the Police Academy, she'd been studying and been taking the classes in her spare time. The eighteen year old had passed all the classes with flying colors. She hadn't told her father yet because if she did he'd be against it, Hank wanted to keep his daughter far away from all of that as possible if he could he'd lock her away in a tower to keep her safe from anything and everything.

After a few months the letter finally came, she had swiped it before her father could catch it. She was up in her room, the teen had her door shut but it was slightly ajared. Jordan looked down at the envelope that read her name on it, she was completely nervous and excited about it the whole time. Her stomach had butterflies and it did flip flops, after what seemed like hours but only a few minutes Jordan picked up the white envelope and opened it. Taking a deep breath she read it.

Dear, Ms. Jordan Voight we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted into the Chicago Police Academy.

Jordan read that line over and over, tears had burned in her eyes. Her dream had come true, she was gonna follow in her father's and grandfather's footsteps and become a cop. Quickly grabbing her phone she called Erin.

Erin had eventually moved back to Chicago, she hated New York and after working with the FBI task force she made the choice to come home. She came back to her family.

"Hey Jordy, what's going on". Erin answers.

"I have something to tell you". Jordan replied, her voice slightly shaking.

Hank was on his way to his room when he heard his daughter quietly talking, he had a feeling that she was talking to Erin. He never liked eavesdropping on his daughter's calls but by the tone of her voice he insistently knew something was up and he was curious.

Erin had heard the tone of her sister's voice change and got worried. "Sweetie what is it?"

"I got a letter today, I got into the Police Academy".

"Jordy that's great!"

When that was said Hank wanted to be happy for his daughter but another part of him was upset and hurt. Why hadn't she told him? What was wrong with him knowing? He would have supported her career choice. No matter what she had chosen Hank would have supported it.

"I haven't told dad yet, I wanna surprise him".

"Jo he's gonna be so proud of you".

"I'm actually gonna do it, follow in his and Grandpa Richard's footsteps".

"Sweetheart this is amazing".

"I'm gonna go down to the District tomorrow and tell everyone".

"I bet they'll all be proud of you".

"I know".

After hanging up Jordan laid in her bed, she kept reading the letter over and over. She had a smile on her face, Jordan was gonna continue the Voight legacy.

Hank laid wide awake in his bed, he still wasn't over the fact that his little girl got into the police academy and he had just found out. Why didn't she say anything? Besides Erin who else knew? Ever since she was a little girl, Jordan had always said she wanted to be a Detective like her father. Since she was 7 she'd dress up like a cop every Halloween.

Leaning over he pulled out a stack of pictures, the first one on top caught his attention. It was the day of Jordan's high school graduation, she wore a white dress with matching heels along with her cap and gown, her long brown hair was in bouncing curls. It was one of his happiest days of their lives.

The fresh high school graduate was ready to go out into the world but Hank was now very worried. For as long as he could remember the older father has wanted to shield his little girl from the real world, he knew what happened out there she didn't and if Hank had it his way she never would but sooner or later he would have to accept the fact that she would go out there and will find out.

Jordan was grown and ready to take the city by storm he knew his little girl would be safe because he'd be right there with her and she still had a few people who will always look out for her.

By the next morning Jordan snuck out of the house before her father woke up, she walked down the street. The teen began her walk to one of her other many places she called home, District 21.

Trudy was still at the desk, she was a couple of months from forced retirement and soon Kim was gonna take her place. She was reading when Jordan walked in, the older woman didn't see her goddaughter come in, Jordan had seen her godmother and went over to the desk.

"Hi Aunt Trudy". Jordan greeted her godmother.

The older woman looked up to see her goddaughter standing there smiling, running around the desk she held the teen tightly in a hug.

"It's so good to see you sweetheart". Trudy says.

"Aunt Trudy, I've been coming here almost everyday since I was a kid".

"I know but it's still great to see you. How's your dad?"

"He's good, I think he hates being home all the time now but I like having him home now".

"I'm glad. So what's going on?"

"I'm here to tell everyone something, wanna come up to".

"Of course".

The two headed up to the squad. After Hank retired he had left Antonio in charge of the team, nobody had left the team. Jay was still there along with Adam, Kevin, Hailey, Kim, and Kenny Rixton had come back.

Adam and Kim had eventually gotten back together then in a blink of an eye they were married and expecting their first baby. Jay was still waiting to propose to Erin he wanted to make it memorable.

Trudy was walking up the steps with her goddaughter behind her. "You guys got a visitor". She told them.

"Ok who is it?" Kenny asked.

The eighteen year old jumped out. "Surprise, I'm back".

Everyone had gotten up from their chair and went over to hug the young adult. If you had told Jordan that she would have a family like this she wouldn't believe it, but to actually have it was amazing.

"What's going on kiddo". Antonio says to his niece.

"I have something to tell you guys". Jordan spoke.

"Is it about boy? Are you pregnant?" Kim blurts out.

"Are you?" Kenny asked his niece with a serious look.

"I don't wanna hunt a poor kid down". Adam groans.

Jordan chuckled and put a hand on Kim's shoulder. "Kim don't get a innocent guy killed, my dad maybe retired but he'll still kill someone I'm pretty sure that these guys will too".

"So what's the news". Trudy says.

With a bright and proud smile Jordan revealed her secret. "So yesterday I got a letter in the mail, you guys are looking at one of the newest recruits of the Chicago Police Academy. I got into the Police Academy".

Everyone clapped and cheered then hugged the teen, a sad expression was then painted on her face as she looked over to Alvin's desk. She missed her godfather terribly, after Alvin had died Jordan was ready to hit rock bottom again but luckily she had a lot of people help her before she went back down another rabbit hole.

Adam saw the look on her face and went over to her pulling her in for a side hug. "Hey, Al would be so proud of you right now just like your dad would be proud".

"Thanks Adam".

"Anytime kiddo".

"What did your dad say?" Antonio asked.

Biting her lip she stayed quiet, she had told everyone else except her father, they all looked at the teen curiously and picked up on the silence. Jordan didn't tell him. Not yet at least.

"He doesn't know yet, I wanted to surprise him".

"I'm sure he'll be very proud, you always said you wanted to follow in his footsteps and now you will". Trudy tells her.

"Thanks guys, I'm gonna go tell my dad now".

She hugged everyone and left the District going home, as she walked home her stomach was in knots. How was she gonna tell her father? Would he approve of it? Was he gonna be his usual overprotective self? She didn't know all she did hope was that he would accept and support her career choice.

Hank was at home on the couch watching a Hawks game, a beer in his hand. He hadn't touched Jordan's acceptance letter he had went in her room and glanced at it. The older man knew that his daughter got in not by his name but because of her intelligence, enthusiasm, determination, passion, hard work, and drive.

A few minutes later Jordan had returned. "Dad! I'm home!"

"In the living room Jo". Hank called back to his daughter.

The teen rushed up to her room and grabbed the letter off her desk and quickly returned back downstairs. She sat down next to her father, her heart racing in her chest it was time for her to tell him now.

"Dad, there's something I need to tell you".

Turning off the tv Hank then faced his daughter. "I already know Jo".

Jordan's face then had a look of confusion on it, how'd he find out if she hadn't said anything? But to play it cool she went ahead.

"What do you know?"

"That you got accepted into the Police Academy".

The teen's face fell into shock. He knew the whole time. When'd he find out? How'd he find out.

"How'd you find out?"

"I heard you telling Erin last night on the phone".

"I didn't think you'd approve of me doing it so I hid it from you".

"Sweetheart you can do whatever you want and I'll always support you, I'll support whatever you want to do. If you wanna be a cop, firefighter, paramedic, lawyer, whatever I'll back you".

"I wanted this ever since I was little and now it's actually happening".

"You worked hard for this Jo and you deserved to get in, the CPD will be thrilled to have such an amazing Detective. Especially another Voight".

"I'm gonna follow in yours and Grandpa Richard's footsteps. I'm gonna continue the legacy he started for us".

Hank smiled when she had said that, he had became a cop just like his father and now his little girl is gonna follow in their footsteps. Jordan was gonna continue the Voight legacy.
