So, picture Cody Burns, 8 years old. His family loves him dearly, but they’re not always around, not anymore. He never knew his mom and his siblings always helped take care of him when his dad was away, saving people. Then, Kade became a firefighter. Then, Dani became a helicopter EMT. Then, Graham became a rescue engineer.
Then, Cody was alone.
Not— not all the time. Sometimes all of his family was home, though that in itself was rare and usually around dinner time. Sometimes it was just one or two siblings. Sometimes it was none, and he would go to Frankie’s house and Doc Greene would help him when the others were out. It was great, meant he got to spend time with his best friend and her cool dad. But, sometimes… he got lonely.
He made friends with the quiet, learned to watch his family from the sidelines, getting skimped over by the media when he was with them, barely a blip on their radar when the real heroes of the day were there. It was almost a relief, sometimes, holding Doc or (at least in the past) Graham’s hand while the rest of his family chatted away to the cameraman, professional, curt, and a little showboaty respectively. While Graham could watch with him from the side, Cody’s eyes could wander, watch the ways people’s eyes usually skimmed right over him and Graham. The last time someone made a fuss about him was when he was born, and he doesn’t even remember that!
Cody knows, he understands, he gets it, that his family does very important work, saving people’s lives day in and day out, and that he’s still too young to do much else other than welcome them home after a long day.
