It was different, even after a year of being here. Miami never got snow or never got this cold. So it had originally been an adjustment for his daughter and himself but they somehow managed to make it through. This year he had decided that they would be more prepared so that was what happened when the snow had first fell. They even managed to get the tree up and decorated after Thanksgiving. Today, they were at the Botanic Garden, just enjoying the lights and everything. That was when he noticed Elliot and Sawyer and moved over to them. Giving him a nod back. "Hey, Eli. How are you?" They seemed to be friendly with one another but then again they were both in the dad club so there was that. Even if Lily was now ten. He remembered what it was like when she was little.

Open: @bfmstarters Where: Brooklyn Botanic Garden

As much as he disliked the cold, hated the snow that would fall and get everywhere, Elliot loved winter because it meant Christmas. Hands down his favorite holiday, always going over the top for it, and he knew that this year would be no different. Hell, he was sure to go even more out and over the top because it would be Sawyer's first Christmas. Even if she was still much too small to understand what was going on. But it was also how he found himself with Sayer bundled up and strapped to his chest, walking around looking a the Christmas light display that had been set up at the botanic garden. grinning as he looked down at Sawyer, her little eyes wide as he stepped into one of the displays, laughing some as he watched her kick her little feet in excitement. Taking a moment to realize someone had joined them. With a warm smile on his face, Elliot looked over, giving them a nod of his head in greeting.

Jackson had just dropped his daughter off at school, he had some time before going to work. Which meant that he needed coffee before then. So he found himself getting his usual at this usual spot. But when he looked around, all of the tables seemed to be occupied. Which sucked because well he wanted to see and relax for a bit. That was when he noticed someone had a free chair, and he moved over to her. "Hello, I know you don't know me but I swear I'm not a creep or serial killer but I was just wondering if I could sit with you. All of the other tables are occupied and well you are the only one with a free chair."

Logan needed to get out and get some air since she had been spending so much time with her clients and trying to work on her first book. She was sitting in the cafe as she sipped from the tea that she had ordered. Logan was constantly people watching and observing them. She was brought out of her trance when she heard somebody sitting down at the table that she was currently at. "Oh hello there." She said as she let out a soft chuckle.

BIO:

(tw: death, army mention, car accident and violence)

Born in Miami, Florida, his parents were well known there. His father a firefighter while his mother was a teacher at the high school. His grand parents had a import and export business there. Richard did have a trust fund but he didn't use it that often because the man was good with his money.

Jack lost his father at the age of five, he died saving a family from a housefire while his mother was pregnant with his little sister. Even though he was five years old, he knew what he had to do. Start taking care of the family, which was something that he tried his best to do actually. His mother though didn't fall apart, she just knew that she had to help him. So the two of them raised his little sister on their own for the couple years until she met Jackson's step father, Xavier. Jackson decided to take on the Turner last name, when his mother changed his sister's last name to Turner.

When he was fifteen he discovered a love for reading and being on some sports teams. Not to mention he was good in school pulling B average student. Throughout school, Jackson knew exactly what he wanted to be. Which was a simple. Firefighter. Just like his father. So he did his best to make that happen. When he turned eighteen, he ended up signing up for the Army.

He made it through basic training and then he got deployed. His tour lasted for six years, and on his last year, he ended up taking a bullet for one of his buddies and due to this he was honorably discharged. Heading home at the age of twenty three, he enrolled in college.

That was when he met Lauren Springfield, the two of them hit it off as friends at first. But soon it would become something more. After two years of dating, he asked her to marry him and then after a year of engagement the two ended up getting married. After graduation, he got a job at the fire station in Miami where his father had worked and he worked his way up to captain. All while Lauren worked a little shop owner. Things seemed to be going good for the couple, even when Lauren announced that she was pregnant. Lily came into the world with a problem

Eight years later, everything seemed to be going great until one night. Lauren and Lily were on their way to see Jackson because he had been working a double and she wanted to bring him some dinner in the middle of a thunderstorm. Her car went off the road, due to another car running into her. They took the hospital and called Jack while on the way. When he got there, the doctors gave him a choice, save his wife or save his daughter. He told them both and they tried but they couldn't save Lauren due to her injuries.

Jackson did his best to raise his daughter on his own but he felt haunted by the past and he knew that Lily did also. So he decided to move after talking it over with Lily, his parents and Lauren's parents. Moving Brooklyn, he figured that would be a good starting over point for them. Getting a job at the Brooklyn Firehouse, he worked his way up to captain within a year. Making good on his promise that he made to himself when it came to his father and his promise that he made to Lauren that night to raise their daughter.
