One Chicago: Linstead

Chapter 50: Tomorrow

"They don't know. Know one knows yet. But tomorrow we find out, and like you said, Jay would never leave so let's just hope and pray he's alive." Will reassured.

"Thank you, Will. Thank you so much. I love you. I'll talk to you later." Erin cheered. She couldn't wait. It was almost bed time and when she woke up, she could know if the love of her life was still alive.

Not two minutes later, a knock on the door sent her out of her day dream. 

Outside, there were three men, soldiers, standing lined up with their hats placed on their hearts.

A tear dropped from Erin's face when she thought he was dead. But as that tear was falling, Jay stepped out from behind the men. 

"Erin... I missed you so much." Jay began, "and all I could ask for, was to make it back. I love you."

"Jay," Erin gasped. "You're.... get over here. I missed you too."

Jay ran up to her and kissed her like it was the first kiss they ever had.

"Don't ever leave me, ever again." Erin ordered.

"I was honorably discharged. I never have to go back. I love you, and I'm never gonna leave you. Although, you can't tell anyone because I'm not supposed to 'be' here until tomorrow and I have to go, but I wanted you to know I was alive, that I'm here." Jay explained. "I gotta go, I'll see you tomorrow morning." Jay smiled

"Tomorrow." Erin whispered and walked inside.

"Mommy, who was that?" Shay asked.

"Someone very important in our lives."

"Who?" Shay asked, confused.

"You'll see, now off to bed. C'mon." Erin rushed.

"Mommy, I wish Daddy was here to tuck me in too." Shay confessed as he crawled under the covers.

"Tomorrow. Bud, tomorrow." Erin smiled and kissed him on the forehead. The twins were with Natalie and Will so Erin slipped into her pj's and went straight to bed.
