Chapter 25 "A Bundle of Joy"

May 31st 7:31 pm
Jay and everyone rushed to Erin's side. Jay didn't stop. He picked her up and put her on a bed.

"Will! Call her OB!" yelled Nat

Jay didn't let go of her hand. He stood by her. Shane stood in the window while They worked on Erin.

She woke up minutes later.
"Jay,What happened?"

"You collapsed. Erin it is almost time for Kyle to get here."

Erin had a look of fear and worry on her face.
"I want Grayson awake for it. I want her awake to meet him."

"She'll meet him." Shane stood in the window looking at his Mom. He stared at her and smiled.

Kim sat in the bed in pain.

"Adam! You are never touching me again."

Adam laughed.
"Kim,In a couple of hours. We'll have a baby girl. Just me you and Bryn."

Adam kissed her head.

Shane walked into Erin's room.
"Mom,Do they know when Kyle is going to be here?"

"Soon. Shane,He's gonna be hear tonight or early tomorrow."

"I'm gonna be dad. Again."

A couple hours later. 11:59. Kim was in the delivery room. She was pushing.
"Ah!" She squeezed his hand harder.

A minute later when the clock struck 12. Brynleigh Madelyn Ruzek was born. April handed Kim Bryn.

"Hi Baby girl. I'm your Mommy."

A minute later Kyle Henry James Halstead was born at 12:01 June 1st.

Grayson fluttered her eyes and looked around. She woke up on her brother's birthday.

"Uncle Will!" She yelled

"Hey Grayson!" Nat handed Erin her son.

"Kyle,You are mine finally. I love you little man." She touched his hand and smiled.

Jay sat next to her and smiled.
"I love you Kyle and I love you Erin."

Will put Grayson in a wheelchair and wheeled her to the room.

"Mom,Dad. I'm here. I wanna hold him." Erin and Jay both burst into tears.

Jay walked over to Grayson and hugged her. "I'm never letting anything happen to you Again. I promise. Come meet him.." It was nearing 12:30 am. Instead of meeting his little brother Shane decided to run to the cemetary. He sat there looking at his dad's grave. He smiled as he burst into tears.

"Dad,Kyle is so beautiful. I wish you were here to meet him." He felt someone out his arms around him. Shane turned around and saw his Uncle Jay.

"How did you know I was here."

"Shane,You always come here besides. I wanted to come tell my best friend about little Kyle."

"Hey Kyle,I know you wish you were here. Hell,I do too. I love you Kyle and I miss you. Erin and I got married and she just had my son. Shane over here is just like you and someday he's gonna be a hero and a dad."

"Sometimes the road to being a hero is hard and rough but in the end there's a reason I became one.." Jay added

"Uncle Jay,I'll meet you back at the hospital. I just want alone time with him..."

"Yeah. Shane,I love you son." Jay walked to his car. Erin handed Grayson her little brother.

"Hi Kyle,I am your big sister Grayson. I love you a lot." She glanced down at the cuts on her wrists and smiled.
