The upstead story

Therapy

Noah has been going to therapy to deal with what happened to him
N=I don't see why I have to go
J=because you can't even be next to a man without me right beside you and you keep having nightmares. You are traumatized you need to go
N=I just don't want to go talk to a stranger about something that's none of their business
J=Noah you need to go just try to tell them they'll make you feel better I promise
N=whatever
After Noah's therapy session
N=all right let's go, what a waste of time
Therapist=I'm sorry Jay, but he wouldn't say anything to me
J=well thanks for trying
In the truck
J=why didn't you tell her what's going on it will help. It's like you don't want to get better
N=TO GET BETTER?! No one or nothing can help me get better I don't need anyone to try to baby me. I can deal with this
J=no you can't
N=just let me be please let me deal with this on my own
J=I can't let you do that
N=why??
J=because I know you will just continue to suffer and I can't let that happen you mean way to much to me
N=can you just take me home
They went home
H=hey how did the therapy go
Noah ran upstairs not saying a word to anyone
H=I'm guessing not well
J=no the therapist said he wouldn't say anything to her
H=he'll be okay he just needs his own time
J=yeah, where's Caroline
H=she's with the triplets in their playroom
Jay walked upstairs to the babies play room
J=hey
Ca=hey dad
The triplets seen him and started crawling to him
J=hey you kids missed me too huh
Ca=yeah we all did
J=I'm sorry i haven't been super involved and been myself lately
Ca=it's okay we all have been a little off a bit since what happened
J=your the most understanding girl I know
Ca= Dad I need to ask you something
J=okay what's up
Ca=that day that Noah got raped, when we found him you didn't come home with us because you had things to take care of
J=Caroline I don't want to talk about this
Ca=dad just tell me the truth did you kill that man
J=you don't need to get involved in what happened that night
Ca=dad! Just tell me it's not gonna matter to me if you killed him then good he deserved it, if you didn't kill him than good you didn't murder anyone
J=fine since you know so bad, yes I killed him and I made him dig his own grave
Caroline nodded
Jay played with the triplets a while before it was their bedtime so he and Hailey put them to bed
In the bedroom
J=I told Caroline
H=what did you tell Caroline?
J=she kept begging me to tell her about what happened that night, so I told her I killed him and made him dig his own grave
H= you really think she can handle knowing that
J=well she thinks she can do we will see
H=you know we could have some fun tonight
J=hell yes
3 months later  Jay and Hailey were walking into the district
H=can you believe the triplets are 15 months old
J=I know it seems like we just took them home from the hospital
AR=you know even numbers of kids is the best
J=why are you saying this Adam you only have one kid which is Makayla
AR=well I mean I just think you know another Halstead baby would be kinda of fun
H=hell to the no
The team laughed
H=this baby making factory is closed. Besides I think someone over there might just be getting a vasectomy
J=huh?
H=I'm just kidding
When they left work
H=you don't want anymore kids do you?
J=I mean you obviously don't
H=but do you
J=honestly I wouldn't mind it but it's fine if you don't want anymore
H=are you sure you will be okay with that
J=yes I'll be fine with it
H=okay good
