Filling your Daddy's Shoes

Chapter 17: "She could hear those Church Bells"

Erin stood in front the mirror looking at her in her beautiful dress. Grayson stood next to her.
"Are you excited?"

"I am. And I can't wait to be Mrs. Halstead." Erin hugged her.

Hank walked in, and stood next to the girls.
"It's time Erin."

Jay stood on the altar looking at everyone in the church. Adam next to him. Everyone from Fifty one, and The district was there.

"It's almost time Jay." Adam punched his arm.

They opened the doors. Grayson standing next to Shane. Them two both walked out. The music started playing and they opened the doors revealing Erin. Jay started crying.
"I love you Erin." whispered Hank

Erin grabbed his arm and walked down the aisle. Erin trying not to tear up. She smiles. Hank stops at the bottom on the altar,let's go of her arm and kisses her.

"Do you Jay Halstead take Erin to be your lawfully wedding wife?" Jay looked at Erin then smiled.

"I do."

The priest looked at Erin. "Do you Erin Lindsay take Jay to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"I do."

"Now it's time for them to exchange their vows."

Erin began. "Jay,When we first met Five years I ago. I didn't think I'd be standing here marrying you. When I met Shane,I fell in love with you,because you helped Kyle raise him and that's so nice of you. Jay,You are my best friend and I will love you until the end of time. I love that you always put others first. You wanted to tell Hank and funny thing is. I wouldn't be standing on this altar without Hank. Thank you for saving me. Jay, when Nadia died you pulled me out of my dark place. You saved me. You've always had my back and I love you. I'm excited to spend the rest of my life with you as Mrs. Halstead."

The priest looked at Jay.
"Erin,when I first met you. It was during the time when my Mom died. I didn't tell anyone. Erin,you helped me overcome two deaths. Not just one. Thank you to Kyle for saving me. He saved me when We were in trouble. Mouse, my best friend. I love you brother. He saved me so I could go back home to my nephews. Erin you pulled me out of a bad place. I love you Erin and I will love you to the end of time. Erin,You are my best friend,my soulmate and my partner in crime."

Daniel came running out holding the rings. He ran to the altar. He handed Jay the ring.
"Do you Jay take Erin Rebecca Lindsay to love and to hold through sickness and in health?"

"I do."
Jay put the ring on her finger.

Erin grabbed the ring. "Do you Erin take Jay Matthew Halstead to love and to hold through sickness and in health?"

"I do." Erin put the ring on his finger.

"You may now kiss your bride." Jay pulled her in for a hug then grabbed her face and kissed her lips.

"I love you Erin Rebecca Halstead." Jay whispered

After that they left the church and drove to the reception.

"Grayson Noelle,Would you wanna dance?" asked Mikey

"I would love too." Mikey grabbed her hand and lead the dance.

Shane sat at the table waiting to give a speech. He smiled and looked around at everyone.

"It's now time for the First dance." Jay grabbed Erin hand and pulled her in. He grabbed her hand and put his other on her tiny waist.
" I'll never settle down,
That's what I always thought
Yeah, I was that kind of man,
Just ask anyone
