1 Day later

Jay was still asleep from the surgery and Erin and Mouse were still sat by his bedside, "Mouse why don't you go home?" Erin said

"No way Erin we both need to be here when Jay wakes up" Mouse replied

The next few hours went through pretty quickly with people from the team and Chicago family coming in and out to see how Erin and Jay were doing. Erin was asleep in the chair next to Jay's bed when she felt him squeeze her hand, "Jay?" she said sitting up

"What's up?" Mouse asked

"He squeezed my hand"

"are you sure... wait he's opening his eyes" Mouse said sitting next to Jay on the bed.

"... Mouse?" Jay said

"Hey bro, me and Erin are both here" 

"I can't... feel my..." Jay said as tear rolled down his face

"I know Jay, we know and we are all here for you" Mouse said

"Erin?" Jay asked

"Yeah Jay i'm here and i'm so sorry" she cried

"No its not your fault, we aren't ready yet and we will do it when the time is right" Jay said, "Mouse can you help me sit the bed up?"

"Sure thing" Mouse said grabbing the remote and lifting it up

Jay, Erin and Mouse sat talking when Adam walked in, "Hey guys"

"Hey Adam" Jay said

"how the girls?" Erin asked

Jay interrupted before he spoke, "wait Kim had the babies"

"Yeah while you are in surgery, All three of them are good Kim is recovering from surgery and Ivy and Amelia are up in the NICU because of Kim's high blood pressure"

"Omg... They are called Ivy and Amelia, they are gorgeous names" Erin said

"Thank, I'll bring then down as soon as they get brought down to the maternity ward... anyway I came here to see Jay, How are you?" Adam said sitting on the bed

"I don't know really man, well I don't know how to be ok. I'm never gonna be able to work again, and take my child to the park or even take a shower on my own" Jay said getting frustrated

"Hey listen we are all going to help you through this... wait did you just say child?"

jay let out a little smile, "Yeah we're two months" He said grabbing Erin's hand

"So the baby is ok after the accident?" 

"Perfectly fine" Erin said.

They were all talking when Dr Rhodes walked in, "Hey guys I just came to check on Jay, how are you doing?"

Jay just shrugged his shoulders not really knowing what to say. 

"Jay I am really sorry there was nothing else we could do and we tried our best to help you, I know you might not want to here this but your spinal had broken in a place that we didn't pick up on our scan so this was going to happen as soon as you stood up"

"I know, I know and thank you I know you would of tried. If you guys don't mind I would really like to get some rest so I'll call you back later and Erin I want you and the baby to get some rest."

"Are you sure?" Erin said

"Yeah please" Jay replied

Erin grabbed her crutches and made her way out of the room with everyone else, when they walked further down the hall Erin turned to Mouse, "Can you see what he's doing?"
