Dawsey: Starting a Family Part 3

Chapter 333

Jay's POV: After spending the past hour and a half working the case, I was now in the midst of looking at Erin as she just slept in my arms while we sat in the office. That's when I decided to pick her up so that I could carry her to our room. She shouldn't have to sleep in my lap. Instead, she was going to sleep in our bed where she could be comfortable. And honestly, I am going to be just as comfortable when I join her in bed. Shutting off the light, I went to walk to our room.

That's when I felt Erin start to wake up. "Where we going Jay?" I smiled smiled as I looked at her. Kissing her softly, I whispered to her. "You fell asleep in my lap. We are going to bed. I'm done." Erin nodded when I said that. "Okay, how close are we going to get in bed?" I smiled when she said that. "I am still going to wear my jeans...or should I change into my sweats?" Erin then thought about it and smiled at me. "Can you change into your sweats? More comfortable." I laughed when she said that. "Yeah, and sexier. Last time I checked...when I was wearing my sweats, I was shirtless." Erin smiled when I said that. "You were? I didn't even notice." 

I smiled when she said that before going to kiss her slowly. "I will do whatever you want because I can tell that you are hormonal right now." Erin smiled when I said that and nodded. "Yeah, I am. But it's not my fault that my husband is so attractive and muscular. I mean, he can carry me and our twins in his strong arms." Walking into our bedroom, I smiled when she said that before going to lay her down in our bed. I then went to take off my shirt for her and just smiled at her.

Looking at me when my shirt was off, Erin smirked and then sat up. She then peut her hands on my chest while I grabbed her neck and then bent down to kiss her softly. "God, I love you so much." Erin nodded and agreed with me when I said that. "I love you too Jay." Going to undo my belt, Erin smirked as she went to help me get (partially) undressed. "You sure you don't want me to just stay in my boxers?" Erin shook her head when I said that. "No sex okay babe? I just want to cuddle from now on. It's weird having sex when we have the baby in between us."

I then looked at her when she said that. "Erin, are you getting body conscious? Because I have told you this before and I am going to say it again...you are gorgeous." Erin smiled when I said that and nodded. "Listen, I am going to get in bed wearing my boxers and I am going to show you just how beautiful you are okay? You are going to love this." Erin nodded and agreed with me when I said that. "Wait, do you mean by..." I then sighed. "Or I can go put my sweats on. Erin, tell me what to do because I don't want to make you mad. What will make you happy?"

Erin sighed when I said that. "This is the hard part. Jay, you are my husband...and we just got married. I know that means you expect..." I shook my head when she said that. "Hey, I do not expect anything. Erin, you are already pregnant and there is nothing that I need from you right now. All that matters is that we are together and safe. Believe me when I say that Erin." Erin nodded and agreed with me when I said that. 

"Then, can you just go put your sweats on and we can talk? I want to ask you about the case and how you would feel if a military guy was involved?" I then nodded and agreed. "Only if you take some breaths first." Erin nodded and agreed with me when I said that. Meanwhile, I went to walk over to the end of the bed where I had my sweats. Taking off my jeans, I went to put them on the footboard before putting my sweatpants on. Looking at Champ as he laid down at the end of our bed, I smiled as I went to rub his head. "Just relax bud, daddy's okay."

Looking at Erin after talking to Champ, I smiled as I went to get in bed with her. Laying down in bed, I smiled when I felt Erin lay down next to me. Putting her hand on my chest, Erin cuddled up to me while I wrapped my arm around her back and just held her close. "Erin, talk to me okay? I can tell that there's something on your mind." Going to grab her hand, I went to rub it. "I am your husband babe and I am here to help you through whatever you are dealing with. We are a team now and you can always trust me. That's my job...to have your back."

Erin sighed as she rubbed my chest. "I guess I am just worried about you." I was confused when she said that. "What do you mean Erin?" Erin sighed as she looked at me. "What if this case has a military connection? Are you going to be okay working it?" I then shook my head. "I am not going to be working it. Hank wouldn't have let me on if it was a military case. He knows that I can't be on those cases because it's a conflict of interest. I would have blinders up and he knows not to let me work on them." Erin nodded and agreed with me when I said that.

"I am just worried about you. What if the case started some of your PTSD?" I then knew what she was talking about. She was still all knew to this PTSD stuff and at times it can be hard to handle. "Erin, the same would happen. I would tell Hank I can't work the case and I am sure that he would understand. He knows I am a veteran and that I have PTSD. I think he sees me as a son because I remind him of Justin since we are both ex-military. He knows about PTSD and he is going to help me through it if I need to recuse myself from a case."

Erin nodded when I said that. "I guess I am just a little worried though. Jay, what if you flail your arm while we are holding the babies? I know I shouldn't think about that but..." I shook my head. "Erin, it's always a concern but...I am going to be fine. I am much better now compared to how I was right when I came back from war. However, I still get scared when somebody tries to wake me up. Remember when Adam tried to do that at the district?" Erin nodded and went to rub my chest. Kissing it, we just held each other close.

"I promise thought that I am always here to answer questions if you have any. I am here for you babe because I am your husband and nothing is ever going to change that." Erin agreed with me when I said that. "Does that mean that you are going to be much more careful at work?" Wrapping my arm around her back, I went to hold her close. "Erin, something on your mind?" Erin sighed as she looked at me. "Jay, I need you to promise me that when we are back at work that you are going to come back to me every night."
