Jordan- 12
After meeting the team and Jay, Jordan would smile to herself she would never admit it but she does have a crush on Jay. When she would go to the District she would hide all of that from her father.
One afternoon Erin had went to go pick her sister up from school, Jordan got in the car and the two headed to the District.
"Erin when you like someone what should you do?" Jordan asked.
"Get them a gift, a card, talk to them, get to know them better. Why". Erin replies, not taking her eyes off the road.
"Promise not to tell dad".
"You like Jay! I knew it!"
"Is it bad that I have a crush on him?"
"Jo, you're young and getting to that age where you're gonna seem intrested in boys or girls whichever".
"I wanna talk to him but I don't know what to say".
"Nobody really does know what to say".
"What kinds of gifts to men like?"
"Well each person is different, some like cologne, some like jerseys if they like sports, it all depends on the person".
"I'll talk to him to see what he likes".
"Jo you better not let your dad find out".
"He won't".
The girls arrived at the District and headed inside, Jordan waved to Trudy then the sisters headed up to the squad. Luckily they didn't have a case so Jordan wouldn't see anything she shouldn't, the twelve year old headed to her father's office knocking on the door. Hank looked up to see his young daughter there and a smile appeared on his face when he saw her.
"Hey Jo, how was school?" Hank asked.
"Same old". Jordan replies.
"You didn't get into any trouble did you?"
"Nope".
When Hank went to jail Jordan began to act out and get into all kinds of trouble, even after he got out she got into little trouble every now and then.
"I got some stuff to finish up here, why don't you go start on your homework in the lounge".
"Ok".
She headed to the lounge and began her homework, Jordan had completed half of her assignments Jay walked in heading to the coffee pot. The twelve year old put her head down to her work sheets and smile, her cheeks were turning a light shade of pink.
"Hi Jay". Jordan says happily.
"Hey Jo, how was school today?" Jay replies.
"Same stuff different day".
"Need any help?"
"No thanks". She then had an idea. "Can I ask you something?"
"Sure".
"If someone were to get you anything for your birthday or Christmas what would you want?"
"I'd like a White Sox's jersey".
"Any specific player".
"David Robertson, he's an awesome pitcher".
"He's my favorite too".
"I gotta get back to work and you gotta finish your homework, we should hang out sometime Jo you seem like a cool kid".
"I'd like that".
Jay went back out to his desk while Jordan was trying to go back to her work but she couldn't focus, she was excited when Jay said they should hang out. Erin got up from her desk and headed to the lounge, when she saw the look on her sister's face she went over and got a coffee mug and bent down.
"I know that look Jo". Erin whispers, with a smirk.
"He said we should hang out". Jordan replies in an excited tone.
"Jo, I'm only saying this because I care about you. Yes it's normal to have your first crush I had many of them but you're still young, be a kid don't worry about any crushes or any of that for that matter. Don't grow up too fast enjoy you're time as a kid, when you're old enough and when you're ready you can try and start dating. Besides you're 12 and Jay is an adult it wouldn't work, you worry about you and going to school".
"You're right Erin".
"Good now no more of this ok".
"Ok I promise".
When Erin left the squad Jordan had an evil smirk on her face, she was gonna get Jay a jersey and go on from there. After a few weeks and after saving up all her allowance she got Jay a jersey, she folded it up and put it in a box and wrapped it up and put it in her backpack.
The next day after school Jordan went from school to the District, she had the package in her bag ready to give to him. Trudy buzzed her up since the team was out when she got to the top she quickly took the package out and went over putting it on Jay's desk, she signed it as a secret admirer. The twelve year old went to the lounge and began her homework.
The team arrived back to the District and went up to the squad room, Jay took his jacket off putting it on the back of his chair then got confused when he saw the package on his desk.
"Who's the package from?" Antonio asked.
"I don't know". Jay replies.
He opened it to see the jersey the note read, 'I hope you like it. From your secret admirer'.
"What's the note say?" Erin asked.
"I hope you like it from your secret admirer".
"Jay you got a secret admirer". Jules teased.
Erin knew exactly who the secret admirer is, she didn't know if she should take it to Hank or not. She wasn't gonna bring it up now but the situation had to be brought up sooner or later.
Jay was highly confused about the package, who was this secret admirer? How'd they know where he worked? How'd they know which desk was his? Only his brother knows where he works nobody else. He kept thinking about it trying to figure out who it is the only one he mentioned this to was Jordan. He shrugged it off, it couldn't be Jordan she's only a kid but it did add up. She was the only one who asked what gift he want, she knows where he works and which desk is his. He didn't wanna take this to Voight but he knew he had to before the whole thing got out of control, the detective got up from his seat going to Hank's office he knocked getting the older man's attention.
"Sarge you got a sec". Jay says.
"Yeah come in". Hank replies.
Jay entered the office and shut the door behind him then taking a seat. "I don't mean to pry into your personal life but has Jo been acting weird lately".
"Not that I saw, why".
"We were talking the other day and she asked me what gift I'd ever like for my birthday or Christmas and I said a jersey. Today I get a jersey from a secret admirer".
"Ok what does this have to do with Jo?"
"Please don't get mad ot take this the wrong way but I think Jo's the secret admirer and she might have a crush on me".
"Excuse me".
"I think Jo has a crush on me".
"Are we still talking about Jordan? My twelve year old daughter? That Jordan?"
Jay took the chair scooting it back when he saw Hank getting into his 'protective father mode'.
"It makes sense, she was the only one I talked about the gift with, I get the gift, it adds up. I'm sorry to say but I really think it's Jo".
"Look I'll talk to her alright".
"Thanks. I just thought I should tell you sooner than later".
"You did the right thing by telling me. After I talk to Jo I want you to talk to her".
"Me? Why me?"
"Just do it".
Hank got up from his seat and went to the lounge, when his office door opened they all saw him going to the lounge. Erin knew that Jay must have told Hank about what happened.
The older man was at the door of the lounge he stepped inside closing the door, he sat down next to his little girl. "Jo we need to have a talk sweetheart".
"About what dad". Jordan said, not looking up from her book.
Hank then closed the book and took two fingers under chin gently turning her face so she can look at him. The twelve year old knew what this conversation was gonna be about.
"Jo do you have a crush on Jay?"
"Yeah".
"And was it you who sent him the gift?"
"Yeah".
"I didn't wanna have this talk with you until you were older but we'll have it now. It's normal for you to have a crush sweetheart but you're a kid and he's a grown man. All you should worry about right now is just being a kid and going to school, don't worry about dealing with crushes and boys any of it you won't have to worry about it because you'll never date. Just focus on being you and being a kid, don't grow up too fast".
"I'm sorry dad".
"You should talk to Jay".
"Is he still here?"
"Yup I'll go get him".
Hank got up from his seat and went to get Jay after a moment Jay entered the lounge sitting next to the young girl.
"Jay, I'm sorry I hope I didn't freak you out or scare you". Jordan spoke.
"It's alright Jo, I remember when I was your age I had a crush too. Jo I see you as my little sister and I much rather be friends".
"We can still be friends?"
"Of course we can".
"You forgive me?"
"I forgive you".
Jordan then hugged him and he hugged her back, Hank was watching then Erin went next to him. "Don't worry Hank, you're still the only man Jo will ever need in her life. No matter where she goes in life or who she'll get married to you'll always be there for her. You're her Batman".
"You're right except about the being married part, she ain't dating. If any boy even tries to date her they'll be running the other way after I get done with them and if anyone hurts her God help them".
"We don't have to worry about that for a while".
"Or we cannot worry about that ever".
Erin chuckled. "I can't wait till Jo's prom".
"As long as I'm in the backseat everything will be fine".
The two watched as Jordan and Jay were talking, laughing and joking around.
