Jay's POV: After making our way upstairs, I smiled as I watched Erin go sit down in the living room. "You sure that you don't want me to make breakfast? I mean..." I just looked at Erin and sighed when she protested. "Erin, you are giving birth in 2 months. Take it easy and relax. Heck, take a minute to actually enjoy Lucky's presence. Let her snuggle up to you and help you relax." Erin then nodded as she went to sit on the couch, grabbing the remote. "Tonight, I want a massage though. I haven't had one in a while." I nodded and agreed as I walked into the kitchen.
"Eggs for breakfast?" Erin then turned to look at me and smiled when I said that. "Please. Maybe even egg sandwiches. I am going to need more energy since we are going to the dog park this morning." I then looked at her. "You are going to want to throw the ball for her aren't you?" Erin then nodded. "Uhm yeah, you aren't going to be the only one to have fun." I nodded and agreed before sighing. Erin then shook her head. "Jay, I am pregnant...I am not incapacitated. Why are you so against me throwing the ball for her? It's good exercise for the both of us." I nodded.
"Yeah, I know that it is Erin but...what if you end up overworking yourself and hurting yourself while we are outside. You are not going to be falling on carpet. Instead, you are going to be falling on the hard ground/the grass hopefully. And you also have to remember that there are going to be other dogs there. What if they then come and sniff you? That will not be good for either of us because it will definitely get me worried." Erin then looked at me and got up. "Jay, hey...relax. I am fine." Walking over to me, Erin grabbed my arms and brought me close to her.
Wrapping my arms around her, I nodded before grabbing her butt and kissing her softly. "We so need to go on that babymoon we were thinking about. That will really help me relax and just make feel so much more comfortable when it comes to leaving you guys to go to work eventually. I know we are going to be on the same maternity leave but...I am going to probably head back for a few shifts to train lucky without you there. Then, I can just concentrate on Lucky." Erin smiled and liked that idea. "That sounds great, but no female partners."
I then looked at her and sighed while moving a strand of hair behind her ear. "Erin, you really need to calm down with your jealousy okay? I am never going to leave you nor am I ever going to cheat on you. You are the love of my life and the mother of our child. I am never going to put what we have at risk by doing something stupid." Grabbing her neck, I then moved to kiss Erin softly. "I am going to be too busy to even think about cheating on you because you are all I think about. And eventually, all I am going to think about are you and Olivia. I promise Erin."
Erin then nodded and smiled as she moved to hug me. "I'm sorry. I should've never even say anything like that. I mean, of course you aren't going to do anything stupid when Voight is basically my father. You cheat on me and you are a dead man walking." I laughed and agreed with her before pulling back and going to kiss her softly. "Listen, right now...your mind is everywhere and you just need to relax. Let me make us some breakfast and then we'll go have a fun day out in the park. We need some fresh air I think." Erin nodded and agreed with me, kissing me softly.
I then smiled as I wrapped my arms around her and just held her in my arms for a bit, giving her the reassurance she needs that we are forever. I then watched as Erin walked away and smiled before moving to make us some eggs. That's when I decided to grab my phone and put some relaxing music on that my therapist recommended I use whenever I need to relax. Erin then looked at me when she heard music coming from somewhere. "Where's the music coming from?" I smiled when she asked. "The house has a speaker system we can use via Bluetooth. I just connected to it on my phone and I am playing music."
Erin smiled and liked that idea. "That's smart. And let me guess, the music you choose is this because it is supposed to help me relax?" I nodded. "Is it working?" Erin smiled as she just sat down on the couch and followed the breathing exercises that was playing through the speaker. That's when I saw Lucky make her way to the couch and sit down next to Erin. Feeling her sit down next to her, Erin moved her hand to Lucky's head and smiled as she took some time to relax both with her breathing exercises and with Lucky's help.
I then decided to make a little bit of a joke. "You positive that she's just my service dog?" Erin then laughed when I said that. "Hey, if she can help me relax...then I am all for her helping me relax. And you should be too. It's not good for the baby for me to be this stressed all the time." I then sighed and realized that I shouldn't have made that joke. "Erin relax, it was a joke. It's my way of saying that I am glad that she can help you relax. You need to relax more babe so that you can have a healthy pregnancy. And if she does that for you, then go ahead and take advantage of her calming you down. Erin, stop calling her just my service dog okay? She's our service dog."
Erin then nodded and agreed as she decided to just rub Lucky's head, continuing to follow the breathing exercises that were playing through the speakers while I made breakfast for us.
