Casey's P.O.V.
Something must have happened in the past week or two. Voight has been coming to Molly's almost every time with Intelligence. He never did this. It was interesting to say the least. He was being more social with other people besides Intelligence, fair enough it was mainly people from med. I had a feeling it had something to do with Rey.
"Seriously Will, why do you always drag me here after a long shift." Speak of the devil. She was basically being dragged by Will over to the bar; over to where I was.
"Because ReyRey you are kid free for the night, have just gotten off a long shift, and deserves to unwind." Will ordered the two of them a beer, and then came over to me.
"Casey, tell her that she should stop avoiding this place." Was she avoiding this place?
"I'm not avoiding Molly's Will, I just have greater responsibilities."
"Exactly Rey, Wyatt is sleeping over Helen's with Owen so you don't have to worry about him. Just relax...oh Jay just got here...Casey make sure she stays here for a bit at least." Then he was off. Just like that.
"I don't know how he has this much energy."
"How long were your guys shifts?" Rey looked exhausted. She had bags under her eyes, which from the times that I have seen her is very rare.
"18 hours, but Will had the fortune of not being in OR to OR all day. I swear I performed at least half of the surgeries in my first neurosurgery book." I guess that was the price you had to pay for being the best.
"Then why did Will drag you here, and why did you let him?" She rolled her eyes slightly before giving me her beer, after seeing that I had just finished mine.
"He wants me to have more adult interaction, especially since I have both Wyatt and Owen for over 24 hours."
"Well if you need to you can bring them by the station. Brett's still waiting for Wyatt time." I didn't know why I said it like that. Like I was implying that she couldn't handle the two boys. Was that how it came across?
"I might just do that. Wyatt's been asking me when we could go back anyway so...yeah anyway I should probably go talk to Will for a bit before I head home. It was nice talking to you. See you tomorrow." Rey turned around, and walked away towards where Will, Jay, and Burgess were. She spent a good twenty minutes talking with them before she left.
The next day
Casey's P.O.V.
I had the people for Truck make sure that all of our equipment was accounted for, and was currently watching Gallo joke around with Mouch.
"Matt!!!" Oof...a tiny body attacked my legs when I looked down to see the light brown hair that belonged to Wyatt Petrov.
"Hi buddy, where's your mommy and Owen." As soon as I mentioned them they both appeared, Rey with a couple of trays in her arms.
"Matt it my birthday. I dis many." He held up three fingers in my direction before he and Owen both got distracted by Gallo. Once I walk over to Rey I take the trays of cookies off of her hands.
"You really didn't need to do this." There were three trays filled with cookies. Who knew how much time this took.
"It's nothing besides it's his birthday, and he wanted to see his second best friend Blakey." By now everyone had heard the commotion caused by the two boys, and before no time Gallo and Ridder were running around with the boys on their backs while Brett and Kidd were trying to get them.
"I don't know how Gallo will feel about being second."
"Well tough luck; he can try to get in between those two. Trust me it's not pretty." Now Mouch and Hermann had come down, and took the cookies off of my hands to go eat them in the corner. Though I don't think they'll eat them all because Rey gave them both a look. It was pretty interesting watching them try to hide.
"So where are you guys going after this?" It was pretty early in the morning so I assumed they wouldn't stay all day. Not that I was kicking them out. If I did that I would be on the shit list of all the girls and Gallo; that's not somewhere I want to be.
"Well, after this we are paying a visit to Intelligence and then I promised the boys that we would go to Med so Wyatt can have his birthday dinner with Nat and Will. And Sharon wanted to meet Wy so I figured why not today." Wait Intelligence...that meant Voight.
"So he's met Voight." I wonder how that went.
"Not yet, but Wyatt wants to visit Jay so we'll see how it goes." I guess they've gotten close with the other Halstead as well.
"Well I hope that goes well. He's been going to Molly's more, and is a little more social." I guess I was right; it did have something to do with Rey.
"I know I may or may not have asked Jay to keep an eye on him. I wanted to see how he reacted to me being back." And I doubted she was related to Hank Voight.
"Sneaky" She laughed slightly while checking on the boys, who were now at 61 with the girls who were showing them around, before turning back to me.
"Yeah, well I am still technically a Voight. Doesn't matter if I changed my last name." I guess she was right.
"Remind me of that if I ever get on your bad side."
"Will do. Though let's hope you never get on my bad side." Let's hope.
"Matt!!! Can you show me your gear?" Just as he finished a little body came to an abrupt stop before us. Wyatt definitely had a lot of energy.
"Sure buddy, come on maybe you can try on my helmet."
Rey's P.O.V.
I didn't know if this was the best idea. Letting Wyatt get close to Matt, especially since realistically I didn't really know anything about him, but it felt ok. Besides for some reason Wyatt is drawn to him. The night after their first, tiny, interaction Wyatt wouldn't shut up about him. Granted the conversation was about 51 in general, but Matt Casey was a common name that came out of his mouth. Maybe I'm stupid for doing this, but I've always taken Wyatt's instincts into consideration when it came to things like this. I don't really know why, but I do. Kids are smarter than we give them credit for, and besides they are less influenced by real world problems.
I couldn't help but smile at the scene in front of me. Matt had Wyatt on his shoulders to help him see something on the top of the truck. He was holding onto Wy's hands to make sure he didn't fall. Then, Matt brought him down, and Wyatt was soon wearing Matt's jacket and helmet. This scene could easily make anyone's heart melt.
