*Erin's POV*

"Something was in the mail for you." It's been a few weeks since the incident at the hotel and we were both back home and back at work as before.
"Thanks." I took it from him.

"Who sent it?" Jay had apparently seen the look on my face.
"I don't know but it kinda creeped me out." I handed him the letter so he could read it for himself.
"What the hell?" He looked at the envelope, but there was no return address or postage stamp.
"Somebody must have put it in the mailbox personally." A shiver ran down my spine at the thought that the person had been here and maybe saw us too.
"It's gonna be fine." Jay stepped behind my chair and put his arms around me.
"But what about the 'See you soon'?" I looked up at Jay.
"I don't know but I'll find out. You can be sure of that." He kissed me on the head and then went into the bath to take a shower.
Just as I was relaxing, someone banged on the front door with his fist and I winced.
"Jay!" I called but he didn't hear me.
There was another knock on the door.
"Great." I got my gun because I didn't feel like a nasty surprise.
"Hello? Here is the mailman." Someone said on the other side if the door.
I opened the door slowly, the gun hidden behind my leg.
"Erin Lindsay?" The women held a package out to me and I nodded.
"Where is it from?" I didn't take it from her.
"I don't know. My boss just told me that someone dropped it off at the station and that I should deliver it." She shrugged and I took the package from her.
"Thanks. Have a good day." I closed the door after briefly looking around the hallway to see if anyone was there.
The package was very light and I wasn't even sure if there was anything inside or if someone was just doing a nasty joke.

Said the little attached note on the top of the package.
I put it aside and found a small box.
When I opened it I must have screamed because I heard Jay frantically come out of the bathroom.
"What happened?" He wasn't wearing anything, was dripping because he just came out of the shower and looked at me with wide eyes.
I pointed to the box and refused to touch it as if there was something poisonous in it.

*Jay's POV*

Erin's behaviour really scared me.
I went to the box and saw photos inside.
When I took a closer look at the them, they were photos of her and me, as we were buying things for the baby a few days ago.
"Someone's following us." Erin came over and grabbed my arm.
"Shh. It's all gonna be fine." I stroked her back and tried to calm her down.
"You come with me." I wanted Voight to come here, but first I had to get dressed but didn't want to leave Erin alone.
"Er you have to let go of my arm in order for me to put a shirt on." Erin stuck to me and I could clearly see that she was afraid, I was no different.
"I'll call Voight now. Maybe he can retrace the stuff somehow." I moved to the door without reaching for Erin's hand.
"Don't leave me alone. Please." She was shaking and I went back to her to take her hand.
"I won't." We went together to get my cell phone and then I called Voight.
It didn't take long before there was a knock on the door and Erin immediately pressed closer against me.
"It's me." Voight called when we didn't open the door immediately.
"Hey Kiddo." Voight took Erin in his arms, which was slowly becoming difficult with her already large baby bump.
"Have you noticed someone following you?" We sat down on the couch with Voight and he looked at the letter and the package we had gotten.
"No, Sarge. Otherwise I would have done something about it." My answer was a bit snippy because it bothered me how much it effected Erin.
"Alright. I get it. But I would recommend that you just carry on with your everyday life as before, even if it could be difficult, but then maybe we will find the person." Voight said and I was expecting him to say that.
