A couple of months later

Max's POV

I had been avoiding going back to school and thankfully they understand why I didn't want to go back to school. I was sitting in my dark room listening to sad music. I was missing Jay so much it took every bone in my body not to ring him.

I had gotten up out of bed and made my way to the lounge. I was sitting in the arm chair when I started to smell smoke. I got up out of the chair and made my way to the door. I tried opening it but it was locked that's when I saw my step dad and mum's face. It couldn't be they were suppose to be in jail. I pulled out my phone and got a photo of their faces before they ran off. I was still trapped in the room unable to get out the door. That's when the wall started to catch on fire and it was getting harder to breathe.

Jay's POV

There had been a fire call at the orphanage that Max was staying at. I had gotten up when I heard the name come over the walkie-talkie.

I had driven to the orphanage that Max was staying at. I had saw squad and truck parted up outside "has anyone seen Max?!" I was looking all around but no one had saw him.

I was running in the building to find my son no matter what. I went to the bedroom he was staying in and grabbed his clothes. I was looking around for him everywhere that's when I came to a locked down. I pulled the piece of wood that was holding the door shut and opened it.

That's when I saw my son laying down on the ground in a ball. I picked him up in my arms and made my way outside to the ambulance.

I was sitting in Max's room. He was on oxygen because of how much smoke he had breathe in. I was rubbing his cheek "it's going to be alright son I'm going to take you home". I was just looking over my son's body to make sure he was alright and that nothing was wrong.

Max's POV

I had woken up and shot straight up into a seating position. That's when someone put their hands on me and I looked to see Jay standing there. The second I snapped back to reality I pulled him into a hug and wasn't going to let go of him again.

Jay's POV

I was so happy that Max was awake and hugging me "it it it was them Jay". He was crying so hard my shirt was getting wet "who son?" I pushed him away and took a seat on his bed "my mum and that monster of a step dad". He was slowly calming down "they're locked up in jail son. Why would you say that?" He pulled his knees up to his chest "I saw them at the door window and they locked me in the lounge!" I put my hand on his knee "get some more rest and after that we'll go home". I really didn't know how Hailey would reacted but he's my son no matter what are who says otherwise.

Max's POV

Jay had left a couple of hours ago to see his girlfriend or wife I really wasn't paying attention. I was slowly making my way back into the room when I saw a man sitting in my room. I took it every slowly and didn't say anything to him. When I had gotten into bed and got comfy he began to speak "detective Halstead told me that you told him that it was your parents that locked you in the lounge correct?" I turned my head towards the man speaking "it was my mom and my monster of a step dad how had locked in the lounge and who the hell are you anyway?!" At this point I just wanted Jay "I'm Sargent Hank voight" I still looked at him not taking in what he had said "I'm Jay's boss" he gave me a badge to confirm who he said he was "what do you want to know Sargent?" I handed him back his badge "Jay told me that you and your family aren't a family and that you want Jay too be something safe for you". I had nodded my head still I couldn't speak to him because I don't trust him "if we go back to the district you'll be put into a safe house and Jay won't be around all the time do you understand that?" I nodded my head and we got to talking.

Jay's POV

"Jay you and me can't raise a kid together and not just that but he isn't ours!" I was sick of fighting with Hailey about my Max "what do you want me to say Hailey!" She got pissed off that I was yelling back at her "don't raise your voice at me Jay I want children sure but one's that are actually ours can you understand the or are you to thick in the head!" I just walked off to are shared bedroom and packed up my things "where the hell are you going Jay!" I didn't respond just grabbed my keys and left the apartment to go to the safehouse that me and Max while be staying at.

Max's POV

There was a knock at my door so I opened my eyes to see Jay standing there. I pushed myself up out of the chair and he grabbed my bag from my hands "I can do that myself you know right?" He just gave me a smile and we walked out of the hospital seems I've already signed the paperwork.

When we pulled up to the safehouse it had two bedrooms with their own bathrooms and a big kitchen. I went into my room and put my clothes away in the dresser. I pulled out a couple of photos if me and my birth father, we were standing beside each other the dayhe left to fight in the army. I placed a kiss on his picture "at least I've still got the presents you got me". I put the photo on the night stand and made the bed.
