What they don't know

Chapter 30

Erin: sooooo.... I know I've been gone for a while and I am sorry for that. I would also like to introduced our all to the latest member of the Halstead family. This is my.. I mean our son Andrew Halstead, and before anyone ask Jay is his dad.
Kim: 😳 how come you didn't say anything earlier?
Erin: I wasn't ready, and I just needed to be away.
Jay: I..I.. I have another son.
Erin: Yes we do!
Jay: I've missed so much.
Hank: How about me and the team get out of here and we'll just come tomorrow or a later time.
Will: That would be great, let's let them catch up with jay.
Kim: See you guys later, it's good to see you all.
Jay: it's good to see you to Kim.
Erin: yea it's good to e see you too Kim.
Adam: bye guys!
Kevin: bye guys!
Antonio: Bye guys!
Erin: see ya later!
Jay: bye guys!

After the team had left it was now only Jay, Erin and their kids. It felt like forever since they were all in a room together, jay was still holding Andrew. Andrew felt so calm in Jay's arm, I guess he already knew that jay was his dad. Bella was laying right next to jay in his side, while Maverick was sitting on Erins lap. Maverick had definitely become a mama's boy over this pass year, but Bella was still a daddy's girl.

Jay: soo.. Andrew Halstead?
Erin: yea, remember when we said if we ever had more kids, Andrew or Kali was going to be their names.
Jay: I remember, I'm just surprised you remembered. Bella must've been really tired, she snoring.
Erin: she gets that from you!
Jay: Oh whatever Er 😊... you know she gets it from you.
Will: she gets it from both of you! I've heard you both snore before, and Erin you recently sounded like a bear waking up from hibernation.
Erin: uhh Wow, and here I thought we became best friends recently.
Will: You know your my favorite sister-in-law!
Erin: I'm your only sister-in-law🙄😂
Jay: How long will I be in here?
Will: majority of your test came back normal, we just have to keep giving you fluids. There's a possibility you could go home tomorrow.
Jay: That's great!
Will: 🙄😂, you guys have 2 options we can move you to a bigger room, or I can take the kids for the night.
Erin: Take them for the night, and I'll keep Andrew here.
Will: okay, I'll go get you bassinet for Andrew and then I'll come back and grab the kids.
Erin: Thank you!

Will left, and went up to the nursery floor to retrieve a bassinet, after he returned to Jay's room he grabbed both kids and headed back to jay and Erin home.  He fed them and got them ready for bed.

Back at the hospital....

Jay was laying in bed while Erin was sitting in the chair feeding Andrew. After she fed him, she changed him and then laid him down. She sat back down in the chair and just stared at jay.

Jay: Er... your tired come lay down with me.
Erin: are you sure!
Jay: Baby, I haven't been in the same bed as you in a while. So Hell yea I'm sure, I need you right here next to me.
Erin: Okay, only because your tired😊
Jay: I've really missed you.
Erin: I've missed you as well, raising 2 kids ain't easy, then add a newborn to the mix it's even harder.
Jay: I know probably wasn't easy especially by yourself. I only have 1 question?
Erin: what's that?
Jay: why didn't you tell the team or even hank? You know they would've supported you.
Erin: I know they would've but I couldn't because of you.
Jay: what do you mean because of me?
Erin: if I had told them, they would've said come back home, we can do this as a family. I didn't want to because your my family jay, I was so angry for so long because you had already missed so much of the kids lives. Now you've missed out on the most important part of andrews life, his birth. In the beginning of the pregnancy I had the kids, we were good you know. Just traveling and keeping their minds off of everything. We came back home before the " you to far along to fly" mark, and when we came here I didn't wanna go to the house.
Jay: so where have you been staying?
Erin: we've been living in the cabin.
Jay: as in the cabin in Wisconsin?
Erin: yup, the kids love it too, Will comes up when he has a few days off. He's been teaching the kids a lot of games you guys use to play when you were younger.
Jay: I am grateful that Will was able to step in and help you. I definitely owe him a beer.
Erin: A beer, hell more like 20 six packs, he's been helping me out so much these last few months. Especially after Andrew was born, he would come by and pick Bella and mav up just so I could get some sleep. I don't think I could've asked for a better brother-in-law.
Jay: I love you, I can't wait to for us to get out of here.
Erin: I know you are, but when you get out of here we're not going right back home.
Jay: where are we going?
Erin: Back to the cabin, after spending the last 3 months there the kids seem happier. I also know it's one of safe havens so that's where we're going. Also I really love you too.

Andrew laid in his bassinet, while Erin laid tucked into Jay's side. Erin had fallen asleep first, jay just admired her while she was sleep. Just as jay was about to fall asleep, he heard Erin crying in her sleep, and then she started calling out for Jay.

Jay: Hey Er... I'm right here. Wake up baby.
Erin: Jay, your here, I thought you were gone again.
Jay: I'm never going away again, I am here to stay. I am right here for you and our kids.
