'Til The End of Time

Chapter 3: "Saving Her"

Erin started flatlining again. Will and Conner started getting more and more frustrated. They were able to fix the damage the bullet left. They were out of options. No one knew what to do next. They sewed up the wound and pushed her to the ICU. Jay stood by the doors waiting for answers. Natalie came behind Jay. He turned around and hugged her.

"She'll make it Jay." Nat assured Jay. Jay wiped a tear from his eye, He walked over to the room and stood in front of the window, Erin was getting worked on. Owen walked out of the break room with Taylor Rhodes.

"Mom,Is Erin gonna be okay?" He asked. Nat didn't know what to answer.

"I don't know bud. I am gonna leave in a few to bring you home. Go grab your school things." Jay walked into the room and stood next to his brother.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Will and Conner nodded their heads.

"I think so." Owen walked into the room.

"Dad, How is Erin?" Asked Owen

Jay walked over to him and hugged him.

"Owen, she's getting stable. I think she'll make it." Will smiled for the first time in a day. He felt confident that Erin was going to make it. Which was a good thing. Jay sat back down and held her hand. He wanted her to wake up so badly. He missed her smily face and laugh.

"Jay, Mom wanted me to give you her ring. Propose to Erin not right now but later. I was going to use it for Nat but I decided to let you have it." Mikey ran down out of the elevator holding his grandma's hand.
"Uncle Will! Uncle Will! Mommy had the baby!" He yelled
Will turned around and picked him up.

"Hey Mikey. How's my favorite nephew?" Mikey smiled

"What's the baby's name Mikey?" Will asked

"Harper Rae!" Will put Mikey down and hugged his mom.

"Hey Mom. Owen say hi to your grandma." Owen walked over to her and hugged her tightly.

"Hey Mimi." Victoria Halstead wrapped her arms around Owen.

Erin laid silently in the bed. Jay didn't know what to do. He was out of options for everything. He was going to make her his wife. His everything what she already was. Jay loved her, with all his heart more than anyone he's ever dated. Erin is his. Finally.
"Hey Erin, It's me again. I miss you and I want you to wake up. I love you and I wanna make you mine officially when you wake up. I need you to be strong and promise me you'll wake up for me and for our future kids. I wanna have kids with you and that's only possible if you wake up soon. It doesn't have to be today. It can be tomorrow or the next day. I just need you to wake up for me. For Hank for everyone else. I can't lose you. I love you Erin." Jay kissed her forehead. "I'll always love you."

Hank stood in Olive's room holding Daniel, he was Hank's first grandkid. He looked like Camille.

"Justin, He looks like your mom." Justin smiled a little bit. He held Olive's hand.

"Pop, He does look like her. I want Erin to be his godmother. She's like my sister and I know she would appreciate it." Hank smiled.

"Maybe bring Danny to go see her." Justin nodded his head as he started walking towards Erin's room. She was moved out of the ICU. He held Danny close to his chest and held him tightly.

"Hey Jay!" Jay got up and walked over to Justin.

"Justin,he's adorable." Justin walked closer to Erin's bed.

"Hey Erin, I need you to wake up. Danny needs his godmother and aunt. I miss you just please wake up Erin for Daniel."

Jay walked out of the room and stood by Will.

"Will, I can't lose her." Will put his hands on his shoulder.

"Jay,you won't lose her. I promise. I'll make sure you don't." Jay smiled at the thought of his brother saying that. Jay sat back down in the chair next to the bed. Owen walked outside of the hospital he started talking to Taylor Rhodes.

"Owen, Are we still friends? I know it was awkward after the kiss. I love you like my brother. I don't want to lose you as my best friend." Owen smiled

"I'll always be your best friend. We just can't tell our parents about the kiss,because they still don't want us being friends."

Will stormed into the room where Jay was sitting. "We are taking her off life support." Jay stood up real quickly

"Over my dead body you will." Jay yelled. Erin's eyes started fluttering and she woke up before Will did anything to the machines.

She started coughing. Jay turned his head and smiled real big. "I missed you baby."

Jay walks to the side of the bed and holds her hand.. "Jay, I heard everything you said about Til the end of time. And Hank."

Jay blushed. "I want you to be mine. We are gonna get married and have kids. I want you to be mine forever and retire up in Wisconsin." Erin started coughing.

"Will,Can you get this out of me?" Erin said pointing to the tube coming out of her throat. Will called for April and she helped him get the tube out. Erin coughed. Jay held Erin's hand.

"So you do want to get married to me?" Erin shook her head.

"Of course I do. You are the only one who has had my back and kept It. She promised to keep me safe and you did just that. I love you for it." Jay smiled big and he kissed her hand. Jay walked out of the room and walked towards Hank.

"Hank, she's awake." Hank stood up and looked back at Antonio and Al. He smiled briefly then walked to Erin's room. He stood in the doorway for a couple seconds before he walked in.

"I'm so glad you are alive Erin. I can't lose you." Hank hugged her.

"Well I'm here alive and well." After Hank visited with Erin for a little while.

"My sister had her baby Harper Raë."

"That is such a cute name. I can't wait Til we have kids Jay. Not till after we are married.. And that won't be for a while." Jay frowned at his girlfriend saying that.

"Yeah. We'll wait but not too long.." Jay took the ring out of his pocket and glanced at it.
