One Chicago: Linstead

Chapter 18: Halstead

"Shay Jason Halstead. It's manly." Jay stated.

"No one can know about the last name until we tell people about us. Okay?" Erin questioned, taking Shay out of his hands.

"Yes." Jay responded as Voight, Burgess, Ruzek, Al, Antonio, Mouse, and Atwater walked in.

"Hey, what's his name?" Kim Burgess asked, hugging Erin lightly.

"Shay, Shay Jason." Erin smiled.

"May I hold him?" She asked softly.

"Of course!" Erin exclaimed. Kim lifted Shay out of Erin's arms and supported his head.

"Shay Jason Lindsay, that's nice." Kim whispered.

"It's actually not Lindsay!" Erin stated, too eager to hold it in.

"So it's the father's name?" Voight asked firmly.

"Actually, yes, it is." Erin answered.

"You know who it is?" Antonio asked.

"I've always known." Erin smiled. "Well, I guess you want to know who it is, right?"

Everyone responded, even Jay. And he was the father, "yes!"

"Hank, everyone, don't get mad...promise...the father," she chuckled and then restarted, "the father is Jay." Erin said hesitantly.

"As in Halstead? JAY HALSTEAD!?" Voight shouted. "Halstead, did you know?"

"No, sir. I found out today. I promise Voight, I didn't." Jay responded, scared.

"So it is yours?" Ruzek asked.

"It's ours. If you can't accept it, get out! NOW!" Erin shouted quietly. Voight glared at her and then slowly left the room. No one followed.

"Thanks, guys. I...we love you." Jay proudly stated.

"Are you guys..." Mouse started, "like, together now, or are you just..."

"We're co-parenting." Erin immediately stated.

"We are...?" Jay turned, confused.

"Did you think we were...together? You stormed out on me..." Erin replied.

"I thought it was kind of implied...us having a baby and all..."

"You know what Jay, no! Never again." She looked at Kim and made sure Shay was okay before stepping out of her bed.

"Erin you shouldn't be..." Jay started, being cut off after having to catch her before she hit the floor.

"Help!" Jay screamed. He lightly placed her on the ground and ran out to the hall to get a nurse. "Help, she...she's fainted."

"C'mon." The nurse ran into the room and checked her vitals. "Get the doctor!"

As the doctor came in, Will he ordered a crash cart. She was dead...dead. "Push another EPI." He ordered. "We got her!" He said as she started breathing normal and her vitals were stabilizing.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Voight asked walking into the room. He was sorry about everything and when he saw them rushing into her room, he thought he wouldn't get to say he was sorry. That he might as well be okay with it. Voight is okay with it, with their relationship. And of course, their baby...Shay.

(Shay...didn't intend it to be as in Shay from Chicago Fire...I just really like it.)
