Chapter 2: "Don't Go"

Ten hours later

Conner sewed up Erin's wound. She slipped into a coma. Will and Rhodes wheeled Erin back out of the OR. Olive had her baby. She named him Daniel Henry Voight. Justin handed Daniel to Hank. He started crying at how beautiful he was and how much he looked like Camille his late wife. Erin laid in the bed in a coma. No one knew when she would wake up. Will and Rhodes were both optimistic about it.

Hank stepped out of the room and walked towards Will and Rhodes. "Dr. Halstead, Dr. Rhodes, Any news on Erin?" Jay looked up and walked towards Will and Conner.

"Yeah. We were able to fix the wound, She started bleeding out. We were able to fix that as well. She slipped into a coma after the surgery. We don't know when she's wake up. It could be tomorrow or it could be in a couple days. I am optimistic about Erin waking up. She is not out of the woods yet. You may go see her." Hank walked towards her room and stood by the window looking at his "daughter" lying in the hospital bed unconscious. He walked into the room and sat down in the chair next to her.

"Erin,please wake up for me." Hank croaked, He started crying.

"Jay,She's gonna be okay." Jay looked up to Will and smiled a tiny bit. Will patted his back.

"Will,she's the only one I've ever loved. I can't lose her." Will shook his head.

"I know Jay." Will walked away. Jay sat back down in the chair. Antonio sat down next to him.

"Jay,she'll pull through. She's strong and a fighter." Erin was hooked up to all the machines and she had a tube coming from her mouth. Hank walked out and saw Jay sitting. He walked towards him.

"You can go see her. Maybe after you can go home and get some rest." Jay looked up,He stood up and just stood in front of Hank.

"With all due respect,I'm not leaving. I'm staying here. I'm gonna go see my girlfriend." The word slipped out. Hank grabbed his collar and pushed him against the wall and punched.

"She's not your girlfriend." Jay shook his head.

"Yes she is. I love Erin and I will love her til the end of time. I'm not going anywhere." Antonio and Alvin pulled Hank off of Jay. Jay walked into Erin's room and sat next to her in the chair. He grabbed her hand and kissed it.

"Erin,I love you and I need you to wake up. Please wake up for me. I can't live without you. You mean the world to me and I have never been so happy. I want to get married to you and have lots of kids and I want to just spend the rest of my life with you. I want you to be Erin Halstead someday, Erin you are my one and only and I love you. I want to kiss your lips and I wanna hear your laugh and see you smile for me. You can't go,you can't leave me. I need you here in my life. I need my partner. You are the only thing keeping me here. I have never been more happy for anyone, Erin,spending everyday with you would be the best thing ever I want you to be my girl. Mrs. Halstead. Please. Wake up for me. Erin, I need you to wake up for me . I can't wait Until you are reading our kids bedtime stories and playing in the snow and just being yourself. I love you Erin and I'll always love you. Please wake up." A tear fell from Jay's eye and onto Erin's hand. Jay just burst into tears. He couldn't hold it back.

Hank stood in the window looking at Jay confess his feelings and He knew they would eventually get together. It would happen. Everyone in the district knew it. Jay had a feeling a feeling like no other when He saw her. When he saw her for the first time.

Flashback
"Erin! This is your new partner Jay!" Jay walked further into Intelligence being greeted by Antonio and Olinsky and Jules. Erin stood up and looked him into the eye. She smiled.

"Erin Lindsay." She shook his hand. In that moment He knew she would be the one for him. They talk like best friends, the love each other. Erin laid in the bed sound asleep. He wanted her to wake up and wake up quickly.

"Erin, Please I'm begging you wake up. Please." Jay begged

Justin held Daniel close to his chest. He smiled and kissed his tiny forehead.
"I love him." He placed him back down in the nursery bed.

"I'm gonna go check on Erin." Justin walked out of the room and saw Antonio.
"Any news on Erin?" He shook his head no,

"She's out of surgery but nothing else." Justin frowned.

"Well I'll be here so just come get me if anything else happens." Antonio patted his shoulder as he walked off.

"Jay! Come here." said Hank
Jay turned his head and walked towards Hank standing in the doorway of the room.

"I'm sorry, I just was mad you two disobeyed my orders. I hate when people do. I know you love her you just confessed your love for her. I heard the whole thing. I don't know why but I guess I just don't want her getting hurt. I am afraid she'll hurt broken if you do. I love you Jay but I don't want you two dating." Jay scoffed

"Hank, I'll always protect her I'll take care of her when she's sick. I promise. I promise to Til the end of time. I love her more than anyone I've ever dated. I can leave the unit. I'll do it in order for us to date." Jay explained.

"Jay, I know you'll take care of her. I'm afraid to let her  go. She's like my daughter and I love her. Jay, if I give you my blessing you better not hurt her or you'll be at the bottom of the river. I'll make sure of it. You better protect her Til the day you die or I'll have your head on a stick. And no you are not getting my blessing on marriage. You have to show me you will protect her." Jay nodded his head. He walked into the room and sat next to Erin and held her hand.

"We are getting married. Soon maybe when you wake up or when you are ready. I'm giving you the biggest wedding. I want you to be the mother f my kids." Will stood in the window.

"Jay, Mom wants to talk to you." Jay walked to the door and grabbed the phone.

"Hey Mom, what's wrong?"

"Carlie had the baby." Jay smiled

"Mom, What hospital are you at?"

"Chicago Med. It's a beautiful baby girl. Her name is Harper." Jay smiled
"I'll be up there soon."

"Will, you got her?"

"Yeah." Jay walked upstairs to the maternity floor and walked to his sister's room. He knocked first then entered the room.

"Hey Carlie!" He smiled holding flowers. Carlie sat in the bed holding Harper.

"She's beautiful Carlie. I love her. Can I hold her?" Jay asked

Her Husband and 5 year old son Mikey ran into the room.
"Uncle Jay!" He yelled 
Carlie handed Jay Harper and Mikey ran up to Jay.

"Hey bud. You gotta watch your baby sister is fragile." Jay held her close to his chest.

"I don't want a baby sister." Mikey crossed his arms.

"Michael James! You may not say that."

"Well Mommy, I want a brother." Michael her husband grabbed Mikey's hand and walked him to his Mom.

"She's so cute. I remember when you were this small Mikey." Jay chuckled.

"You do?" Jay shook his head.

"You were so tiny I remember holding you and smiling so big. You were the cutest baby until Harper came." Jay handed his sister.

"Look I gotta go. My partner is in the hospital." Jay kissed his Mom on his way out.

"Oh. Come back and see us." Jay walked out of the door and in that moment that is the day Jay decided he wanted to be a father and he wanted Erin to be the mother. Erin's monitors started beeping! Will yelled for Rhodes and they wheeled her into the OR.
