Jay remained on the ventilator, which supported his breathing throughout the night, until it was time to disconnect it.
"Time for a wash, babe," Erin whispered.
She gently wiped Jay's arms with the washcloth.
"Does that feel nice?" She asked softly.
After rinsing the cloth, Erin carefully patted Jay's back and stomach dry.
"All nice and fruity," she murmured.
Erin adjusted Jay's gown and offered a gentle smile.
"I do love you, Jay Halstead," she whispered.
Erin leaned against Jay's chest, feeling his heartbeat.
Midday, Jay did something that astonished the team.
Beeps filled the room, and Will, along with the nurses, hurried in.
Will approached and examined the screen.
"He's fighting the tube..." Will murmured.
Erin stood and observed.
"Jay, we're going to remove the tube now..." Connor indicated with a nod.
Jay nodded slowly and closed his eyes.
"Okay, one big cough!" Connor directed.
Connor removed the tube, and Jay coughed.
"Well done!" Connor exclaimed with a smile.
Jay gasped for air and leaned back on the pillows.
"Is he going to be okay?" Erin inquired.
Connor nodded with a smile.
"He's going to be fine! Just a few hours of sleep and fluids, and he'll be home within a week!" Connor assured.
Erin beamed and embraced Connor.
"Thank you! Thank you for saving my husband..." she whispered.
Connor returned the smile and nodded.
"Hi Baby!" Erin murmured softly.
Jay coughed, his smile beaming.
"Hey, you..." Jay's whisper trailed off.
Erin's kiss landed on Jay, her smile infectious.
"Erin...?" Jay's voice was barely audible.
Erin leaned closer, her nod full of secrets.
"Why do I smell like a fruit salad?" Jay inquired.
Erin's laughter filled the air, her grin wide.
"I gave you a bath with my fruity soap!" Erin declared.
Jay groaned, the scent of strawberries lingering.
"You're lucky I'm so fond of you..." Jay murmured.
Erin hummed contentedly and nestled closer to Jay.
"DADDY!" Ashlyn's shout rang out.
Startled, Adam tumbled off his chair.
"Hey, Little One!" Jay greeted with a grin.
Ashlyn clambered onto the bed and settled in.
Then Cassie burst through the door.
"DAD!" she exclaimed with joy.
Adam, once more, toppled from his chair and moaned.
"God! Your kids could wake the dead..." Adam gasped.
The entire group shook their heads, and Adam recognized his error.
"Too soon?" he inquired.
With a chuckle, Jay pulled his daughters into a warm hug.
"I'm here to stay. That's a promise," Jay affirmed.
Snuggled up close to Jay, they all drifted into slumber.
