"Jay! They're gonna be here in like 10 minutes! You need to sweep in the living room!" Erin ordered as she moved the ham onto the dinner table.

"I will! I will! I still gotta get dressed! I'm sorry, I'll be out in a minute." Jay stated. He slipped on some dark jeans and a red shirt, Erin was wearing a red dress.

"Ya know, Jay! I'm so glad we decided to tell them tonight! It's gonna be hard to hide it, I'm already starting to show." Erin giggled setting up the rest of the dinner table for dinner.

"Yeah, me too," Jay walked in and wrapped his arms around her.

"As much as I love this, I would really love if you'd sweep." Erin smiled.

"I'm on it." He grabbed the broom and started sweeping. He got halfway through it before he heard a knock on the door. "I got it!" He ran toward the door.

Burgess, Ruzek, Atwater, and Mouse all came in. "You could say we all came together, it just so happens it was just perfect timing." Ruzek stated.

"Yeah, we're still waiting on a few more people, though." Jay replied, "Voight, Al, Antonio, Brett, and hopefully my brother and Natalie."

"Hopefully?" Burgess asked.

"We haven't talked since... I don't even know. For a while, I guess. It's okay though, hopefully he gets the nerve to come," Jay states, "anyways, come in, make yourselves at home."

An hour later, everyone else had arrived, except Will and Natalie, and they pulled out the alcohol. The only two people not drinking, Erin and Jay. They all sat down for dinner and started eating.

"Erin, how much you gonna eat tonight," Ruzek teased. "You're gaining a little weig-----, oh my god, you're pregnant." 

Erin smiled and everyone knew he was right. "We were gonna wait and tell you later on tonight."

"Congratulations," everyone tried saying at once.

"Thank you," Erin smiled. "Anyways, back to the meal, I'm hangry." 

"Hangry?" Jay asked.

"Hungry and angry," Erin stated.

"Aren't you always hungry?" Ruzek joked.

"Ha ha, very funny." Erin fake laughed.

They all heard a knock on the door, "I'll get it," Erin pushed her chair out and headed toward the door. She opened it and immediately called Jay over.

"Who is it?" Jay stood up, confused, walking toward the door.

"It's your brother." Erin smiled.

"Will, hey, long time no see?" Jay pulled him into a hug. "I'm sorry for everything I said or did to make you feel unwanted in our family, welcome back."

"Thanks for the invite." Will stated.

"Hey, Natalie! There's the little guy, Owen, what's up!" Jay cheered. Owen mumbled a few words, and tried walking but fell on his butt, leading Will to pick him up and carry him.

"You guys just missed the big announcement," Burgess yelled from the dining table. 

"You're pregnant," Natalie smiled, "Congrats."

"How do you...."

"One, you're starting to show, two, someone told someone and then that someone told me." Natalie smiled.

"Jay, you said you wouldn't tell anyone!" Erin playfully punched him.

"He's my brother, c'mon, I couldn't not tell him." Jay countered. "Come in, join us." 

They finished up dinner and all sat in the living room, talking, playing charades, watching a movie, whatever they could do, they did.
