Life outside the bullpen

Ember is one

Erin's POV: it's been almost 2 months since Jay's dad had a heart attack and ever since then Jay has been letting his father come around him and the kids more so they can get to know each other better . They have liked him so far Porter he's getting ready to start regular school and Camryn is starting daycare in a few weeks ember is getting ready to  turn one years old here in the next few days. which is crazy it feels like yesterday we just had her right now we are at home hanging out with the kids 

E= guess what's coming up in a couple days well it's more like two things
J= um let I guess it will be Tuesday
E= really jay
J= okay let's see it's ember's first birthday
E= correct so far anything else
J= umm oh yeah it's also the day I married my best friend three years ago
E= oh yeah the best three years of my life
J= couldn't agree more
E= so since ember's birthday is on a day we have to work should we have a big party or a different one like on a Saturday or should we just have a smaller one on Tuesday at work if Hank will let us do it
J= well for one I'm pretty sure Hank will let us do it he will do anything for his grandkids
E= yes he would
J= and why not do you both have a small one which is the unit on Tuesday and then on Saturday we have a big one with everyone else at like a local park
E= all right that works

We spend the rest of the day just enjoying being with the kids the next day at work we caught a case but it wasn't too bad we were able to solve it pretty fast and was doing paperwork at the end of the day . 

J= hey babe how close are you form  being done with your paperwork
E= couple more pages what about you
J= about the same how about we go talk to Hank  then finish the paperwork up up  fast after we talk to him
E= all right let's go
HV= ( knocking) hey guys come in what's up
J= so do you know how ember's birthday is on Tuesday
HV= oh yeah I can't believe she'll be one it seems like she was just born yesterday
E= I know we can't believe it either
J= anyways we want to know if we can do a little birthday party here on Tuesday for her with the unit
HV= I don't see why not unless we have a case that day then no
E= all right thanks
HV= it's no problem I'll do anything for my grandkids
J= that's what I told Erin
HV= I guess he knows me pretty well then
E= I guess he does that's all we need to know will get back to doing our  paperwork
HV= all right talk to you soon
J= all right thanks hank

We go and finish the last couple pages of paperwork that we needed to get done and then we head out as we are walking down the stairs we're hear platt talking to someone

CM= hello I'm looking for detective Erin Lindsay and Jay Halsted
P= all right let me call up
E= no need to do that we are right here Platt
J= hey Chelsea what are you doing here
CM= I came to talk to you guys about something is there somewhere we can talk in private
E= yeah hey platt can we...
P= yeah you can
J= thanks platt
P= your welcome
J= right  this way ( into the office)
E= so what is up
J= is there something wrong
CM= oh no nothing a song
E= okay good
CM= so the reason I stop by is because Porter has been with you guys for almost a year and a half now
J= wow that's crazy
CM= oh yeah anyways normally this part happens after year but all of a sudden we got busy down at the Child and family services stuff and I kind of forgot about Porter being with you guys
E= We totally understand that
CM= anyways so since Porter has been with you this song it's time to decide if you guys want to officially adopt Porter or not
J= of course we would
E= oh yeah
CM= well here is your paperwork talk it over to make sure that is what you guys want also maybe ask Porter to see if he wants to stay with you guys which I figured he would then call me back tomorrow with your guys  answer ( hands over the paperwork)
J= all right
E= we will let you know
CM= all right talk to you guys later ( she leaves )
J= wow that's exciting
E= oh yeah I can't believe it Porter can officially be ours forever
J= I know I think tonight we should go to the park and have some ice cream to celebrate the news how does that sound
E= I love you and I love that idea
J= I love you too Ian let's go see the kids
