Erins pov
I woke up and realized i was alone in my hospital bed just then Jay walked in the door i smiled at him and said" Hey babe"

But he didn't respond to me so i just sat there awkwardly. When he finally spoke he started laughing and said "you know what you were just supposed to be my friend with benefits but no you had to go and get pregnant so now I'm stuck here with you. "

"Why would you say that?" I asked shocked.

"Because it's true" he said looking serious.

When he said that it broke my heart then i looked at him with tears in my eyes and said "well if you feel that way then leave i can raise our son on my own without you. "

He looked at me and laughed saying" yea right i wouldn't leave a stuffed animal for you to take care of on your own and you really think your gonna raise my son by yourself."

"I could do it at least he'll have a parent who cares about him "i snapped back with tears in my eyes.

Just then he got up and asked "what did you just say"

" you heard me "i said venomously.

Then in one instant he  slapped me across the face and started to beat me but all i could do was cry and scream.

Jays pov
I started to hear crying and then screaming in my sleep i woke up and realized it was Erin.

"Erin, babe wake up its just a nightmare wake up come on Baby" i said shaking her.

Then she shot up in her bed having a bit trouble breathing and she was still crying. I was about to hug her but as soon as i touched her she flinched back in fear. That hurt but i needed to know that she was alright.

"Erin" i said calmly she just turned and looked at me with so many tears running done her face.

"Erin what happened "i asked her concerned.

"Nothing it was just a nightmare im fine "she said shakily.

"No your not Erin you can lie to yourself but i know you and when you say im fine your really not" i said with worry and fear in my voice.

"Look "she said "it was just a nightmare it wasn't real im fine."

"Fine you don't wanna talk about it we won't be let me just hold you" I said trying to compromise.

"Okay" She said quietly.

*Twenty minutes later*

They brought Kyus in about five minutes ago and i was just sitting here watching Erin play with him in her arms.

Just then Voight walked in i guess he saw me looking at Erin with worry because he asked me to follow him out side.

I said" i'll be right back and if you need me just yell. "

She laughed and said" alright. "

I went into the hall were Voight was standing.

"How is she doing ?"he asked his voice filled with worry.

"They wanna keep her and the baby here for a week and she seems okay but shes not she had a nightmare and woke up screaming and crying but she wont tell me what its about "i said shaking my head.

"When the baby goes back to the nursery let me talk to her" he said reassuringly.

I nodded my head hoping it would work.

They took the baby back to the nursery and Jay went to go get food for us so it was just me and Voight,
he looked like he had something on his mind.

"Whats up ?"i asked him.

"He's worried about you ya know" he said.

"Who,Jay ?"i asked " because he has nothing to worry about im fine. "

"No your not Erin he told me about your nightmare"he said worried.

"Well it wasn't real so im fine" i snapped back.

I knew he wasnt gonna let this go anytime soon so i was just gonna tell him.

"Erin "he said calmly "just tell me what it was about."

I looked at him and started crying i told him everything i told him about Jay what he did and what he said Voight looked a little bit pissed but he knew it was just a dream so he calmed down.

He just looked at me and said "kid you and i both know Jay would never in his life do anything like that especially if im still alive. "

I laughed and so did he but he face went serious and said "Erin anybody who looks at him when he looks at you can see that he truly loves you but you gotta tell him about this dream or you'll worry him to death "then he kissed my forehead and got up and left leaving me to my thoughts.

I thought about what Hank said and he was right i just had to tell him. Then Jay walked in with out Chinese food and he could see that i had been crying.

"whats wrong babe? Is the baby okay?" he asked worriedly.

"The baby's fine but we need to have a serious talk" I  said.

He sat at the edge of the bed waiting for to speak. I looked at him and said "in my nightmare we were arguing in this room and you said i 'was supposed to be your friend with benefits but then i got pregnant'. I told you that 'i could raise Kyus on my own 'but you said i 'wouldn't even be able to take for a stuffed animal 'and then i said 'at least i would care about him 'then you started berating me."

I just looked at him his face was blank i couldn't read him then he got up and left i just laid there and started crying. Two minutes later he walked back in with a box in his hand and sat beside me.

He wiped the tears off my face and said "Erin i was gonna wait until we got home but since you seem to think im gonna leave you or hurt you I'm gonna do this now. "

Then he got on one knee and said "Erin Lindsay you are the most wonderful thing that has ever happened to me before we officially met, when i first saw you i thought i was dreaming but i wasn't and im happy  that you gave me a chance so, you will you do me the honor of marrying me?"

I looked at him with tears in my eyes and said "of course why wouldn't I, I love you, it will always be yes to you. "

Then he got up put the ring on my finger and kissed me.
