Detective Y/N Santiago [SEASONS 1 - 3]

Season 1 - Episode 8: Staying with The Peraltas

"Welcome to the Peralta household!"

You smiled at Jake as you walked inside the house. It was pretty nice actually. It had light grey walls, decorated with photos of Jake and Amy, Family, Friends, The fellow Nine-Nine detectives and surprisingly a family photo that had you in it!

The living room was pretty basic, but it still looked pretty nice. So did the kitchen. All of the rooms had a similar style. You looked around the living room a little bit and smiled. You already loved this house. You went over to Amy.

"How come we never had family gatherings here?" You asked your aunt. "Well- it's usually quite messy. But yesterday we managed to get some cleaning done." She smiled. You mouthed an "Ohhh" and nodded. You then saw Jake carrying your bags.

"Oh- Uncle Jake, let me get that for you." You rushed over to him and held onto one of the bag's handles. "No, No. I'm okay Y/N/N." Jake insisted when he was clearly struggling. You backed up and watched him try to bring your bags all at once. After a moment, he put the bags down and panted a bit.

"Okay, maybe I do need a bit of help.." He admitted nervously. You and Amy chuckled. You went over to him and took two of the bags, leaving Jake with one of them. "Oh! Uh- Your room is upstairs and the third door on the left side of the hallway." Amy informed you. You nodded as a 'Thank you'.

You walked upstairs to your room with your bags and Jake followed along. You arrived at your room and opened the door. You walked in and placed your bags down. Jake did the same. You glanced around the room, smiling.

"So uh.. This is your room! It has a desk for your work.. and of course a bed." Jake informed you as he glanced around the room himself. You chuckled and looked back at him, smiling. "Oh and also, the bathroom is the room right next to yours. It's on the right hand side of this room." He smiled back at you. You nodded.

"And uh- If you need anything, just ask me or Amy. We'll be happy to help." Jake added. You nodded, "Thanks". "No worries. I better give you some privacy so you can- get used to the room." He said, trying not to be awkward. You both smiled at each other and Jake began leaving the room.

"Wait-" You called out quickly. Jake came back and peeped his head in through the door. "T-Thank you for this, Uncle Jake." You thanked him. Jake smiled, "No worries, Y/N/N". You smiled at each other again and Jake left the room.

After about half an hour, Jake came downstairs and saw his wife making dinner. He smiled and went over to her, hugging her from behind. Amy felt his arms wrap around her waist and smiled. Jake nuzzled into the crook of her neck, making Amy smile even more.

"What's for dinner?" Jake asked, resting his chin on her shoulder. "I'm just making some roast pork and salad tonight." She looked at Jake. "Sounds good!" Jake smiled and kissed her cheek. Amy looked at him and smiled back. They then shared a soft kiss.

"You guys are making me feel more single and I already am." You said jokingly. Even though you said it as a joke, it was still true unfortunately.

Jake and Amy quickly pulled away from their kiss and turned to you. "What about Alex?" Amy asked. Jake looked at her with a "Who the fuck is that?" Look on his face. "We broke up a year ago because of our jobs. Keep up!" You replied. "Okay, Okay! Calm down!" She said in surrender.

"What about Jayden?" Jake questioned, earning a punch to his arm from his wife. He rubbed his arm and looked at her. "It's okay, Amy. Also, why do you ask about him?" You tilted your head and looked at your aunt and uncle, confused.

"Well- remember the hug that You and Jayden shared?" Amy mentioned. "Well- that was because I was having breakdown and he was just helping me out." You replied after rolling your eyes. Jake and Amy looked at you suspiciously. You looked back at them,

"I swear, we aren't dating!"

It was Monday morning. Today, Amy had to work from home and staying home with you while Jake had to go to work.

You walked into the kitchen and headed to the cupboard to get a bowl while rubbing your eyes a bit. You grabbed a small bowl and placed it on the counter. You went to get the cereal box from the pantry and the milk from the fridge. You went back to the bowl and began preparing your breakfast.

"Morning, Y/N/N." Jake said tiredly. "Morning, Uncle Jake." You replied, putting the cereal and milk back where they belong. As you grabbed a spoon and your bowl of cereal, you saw your uncle grabbing a small bowl for himself.

"Oh- I didn't think you were gonna have cereal. That's why I put the cereal and- milk back." You apologised nervously. "It's okay. Don't blame yourself!" Jake nudged you with a smile. You smiled back at him slightly and looked down at your cereal. He then looked at you, concerned.

"Hey... I know that look. What's wrong, Y/N/N?" Jake asked. "It's just... I just wish I was there to protect my dad.." You sighed sadly. Jake turned to you. "Look at me, Y/N." He said, making you look up at him nervously.

"I know your dad. He's one of the most understanding and caring people I've ever met. And it was late at night. He would understand why you didn't get to help. And plus, Your dad loves you so much that he would rather get taken hostage himself instead of you." Jake reassured you.

You looked down. "So don't put the blame on yourself, Y/N." Jake gave you a reassuring smile. You sighed. "I guess you're right.." You looked up at him. "But.. I also wanna do something in return for him as well. Y'know... for most of my life he's given me everything and.. I need to repay him.." You sighed.

"Well... I think having you as a daughter would be the best thing. Nothing would beat that. Even if it was as good as a real life Die Hard." Jake smiled and placed his hand on your shoulder comfortingly. You smiled back at him and started to tear up a bit.

"Awww... Come here and give me a hug!.. Before you make Uncle Jake cry." Jake chuckled and opened his arms for a hug. You smiled a bit and placed your cereal bowl on the counter. You ran into your uncle's arms and he embraced you lovingly. He then said something into your ear, comfortingly..

"Everything will be okay, kiddo. We'll always be here for you.." Jake said, making you smile.

"We love you."
