Dawsey: Starting a Family Part 3

Chapter 296

Jay's POV: After making me and Erin some breakfast, I smiled when I came into the bedroom to see her on her iPad, watching something on the internet. "Well, if it isn't the most gorgeous pregnant wife in the entire world." Looking up at me, Erin laughed when I said that and shook my head. Carrying a breakfast tray over to her, I smiled when I showed her that I made us eggs, bacon and French toast. "What do you think of all this?" Erin looked at me and was shocked. "Okay, you trying to loose your body because this here is very fattening?" I smiled when she said that. "I think it's called sympathetic weight gain syndrome." Erin smiled when I said that.

Going to get in bed with her, I smiled as I went to sit next to her and then wrapped my arm around her when I saw Champ get on the end of our bed. "Right where he always sits." Erin smiled when I said that before cuddling up to me under the covers. "Today, all I want to do to is stay here and be held in bed by my husband." I nodded and agreed with her when she said that before going to kiss her shoulder. Feeling her roll over in my arms, I smiled as she put her arm across my chest while she cuddled up to me. "Oh, I can definitely agree with that." Going to grab the plate of food, I went to cut some for us and took a bite myself. Erin then glared at me.

"Excuse me but...why do you get to eat first mister? Last time I checked, I was the one who was pregnant." I nodded when she said that before going to cut her a piece of French toast. Giving it to her, I smiled and just kissed her forehead. "You like it?" Erin nodded when I Said that. "Honestly, it tastes really good. You are a good chef babe." I smiled when she said that. "You can stop lying...I know I am not that good." Erin smiled when I said that before going to run her hand up my chest while I fed her another bite. "Babe, you are a good cook...don't doubt it." I nodded when she said that and smiled as I went to kiss her softly. "I love you."

Erin smiled when I said that and nodded. "I love you too. Now, we need to talk about stuff now that we are married. Like where in the world are you going to put the cribs in here?" I looked around the room and laughed when she said that. "That is a very good point. Where in the world are we going to put them in here? Oh I know, right next to the bed. Babe, you have nothing to worry about because our room is big enough." Erin sighed when I said that and I had a feeling it was because she didn't believe me. "Erin, our room is big enough for now. Please, I am not comfortable moving during a pandemic. It's not safe for our health."

She sighed when I said that because she knew it was the truth. "You're right...but when the pandemic is over, we are moving to a bigger house. Sorry but that dog might be small now but, he is going to grow eventually." I laughed when she said that. "That dog has a name and it's Champ." I then went to grab one of the bacons I made before throwing it to him. Erin however didn't like that idea. "Jay!" I smiled when she said that before going to kiss her head. "Oh relax, it's one piece of bacon." Erin nodded when I said that. "Yeah, the piece of bacon that I was in the middle of eating." I sighed when she said that and nodded. "Sorry."

Erin nodded and just smiled. "It's fine...just don't do it again. Now, give me some more of that food. This mom here is hungry." I laughed when she said that before going to grab the fork. I then went to feed her and just smiled as we held each other close. "Just curious, have we picked names yet?" Erin then bit her lip. "I have some but...I am not sure what you are going to think of them. Well, other than Jayson which we are already doing. Our son is going to be Jayson Michael Halstead. But, what are we doing for our daughter?"

I then smiled at her. "We will think of the perfect name in time. But, I like the name Olivia." Erin smiled when I said that. "Olivia Justina Halstead." Thinking about the name, I smiled when she said that. "Honestly, that name is adorable. Justina after..." Erin nodded. "Justin." I agreed with her before going to ruin my fingers through her hair. Kissing her forehead softly, I just smiled at her. "Justin would be so happy for you. For you to have found a guy who somewhat meets Voight's standards for your husband." Erin laughed when I said that.

"And he would respect you because you are both military guys." I nodded and smiled when she said that. "Well, you are more than just my military guy...you are my military hunk of a husband." I laughed when she said that before wrapping my arm around her back and going to kiss her softly. "You know I love you like crazy right?" Erin nodded and smiled when I said that. I then went to turn on the tv. We had it on the news and I just read the headline. I already knew our friends over at 51 were about to have a headache on their hands.

"COVID Outbreak linked to Firehouse 51. 3 Confirmed Cases amongst Staff."

We then decided to listen to the news. "The newly appointed Battalion Chief has provided us this statement. 'Recently, there were events that I determined justified calling in all members of the Firehouse Staff. Unfortunately, there was an outbreak started and I take full responsibility. All members of the house will be given time to recover and the house will be closed until further notice. However, the CFD is committed to providing adequate service while our house is out of service. Please do not worry and remember to be safe. -Chief Casey of Firehouse 51."
