The secrets were still hidden

Part 21

I woke up and I looked at my clock to see it was only two in the morning and I could hear a crying noise through the apartment. I knew it was Gracie but Erin wasn't in bed either, I got out of bed and walked through the apartment to see Gracie stood in her crib crying, "Hey what's wrong?" I said picking her up trying to calm her down. After a few minutes she stopped crying but as it went quiet I could hear the shower running,

"Erin?" I said putting Gracie down

I walked up to the bathroom and stood outside the door as I saw steam coming from under the door, "Erin?" I said knocking on the door but she didn't answer so I turned the handle but the door wouldn't open.

"Open the door Erin... Erin!" I kept knocking but she wouldn't answer so I kicked the door with my foot again and again until it finally busted open. I looked around the room and saw a figure sat in the shower. I ran over to Erin and pulled her out of the steaming hot shower, 

"Erin, what are you doing?"

She didn't say anything she just looked forwards, "Erin..." I shook her again but nothing, "Omg you're burning. lets get you to bed" I picked her up and carried her into bed.

I knew I couldn't go back to sleep and that all I could do was look after her. As much as I didn't want her hurting herself I didn't want her hurting our baby. I sat on the couch trying to figure out what I was going to do.

Erin's POV

The sun shining through my window woke me up and I woke up in different clothes and my hair really wet. I walked out of the bedroom but I stopped talking when I heard Jay talking in the lounge,

"I don't know what to do?"

"...I know but it was different this time"

"Jay?" I said walking in the lounge

"Hey... um I'll call you back" He said putting the phone down

"Who was that?"

"Oh it was just Mouse, we were talking about work... you want breakfast?" Jay said standing up and walking over to the kitchen

"I'm not really hungry... hey why is my hair wet?" Jay look over at me from the kitchen and walked back to me and sat on the couch.

"Do you not remember?"

"No..."

"Um I woke up because I could hear Gracie crying and you weren't in bed either and when I sorted Gracie out, I found you in the shower and it was boiling. I pulled you out and you were just staring not saying anything"

"I can't remember" I started to get upset

"Hey it's ok. Look I know what is going on ok... When stuff happened to me in the rangers I suffered from PTSD and I used to do stuff and not remember about doing until Mouse caught me a few times and finally told me."

"I'm so sorry Jay. I really didn't know but what If I was trying to do something and I hurt the baby"

"No I'm going to look after you ok" He said hugging me

"How?"

"I don't quite know yet but I'm going to the district soon because Voight needs some help-"

"Can I come?"

"Are you sure, don't you want to rest?"

"I can rest at the district but I just don't want to be on my own" I said

"Sure, let's go get dressed then" Jay said helping me up off the sofa as I was already massive.

At the district

Erin and Jay walked up to the Bullpen and saw the team working, "Back already?" Kim said hugging Erin

"No, Jay is but I just didn't want to be on my own so I thought I would spend the day here"

"Where's Gracie, did you get a new nanny?" Ruzek said but Erin saw Jay look at him

"Not yet, we wanted to wait so she's downstairs with Platt"

"Anyway I feel like my back is going to cave in so i'm going to sit down" Erin said.

Jay helped Erin sit down and then went to talk to Mouse, "Hey, if I go out today I need you to keep an eye on Erin"

"Yeah sure, did you tell her about last night?"

"Yeah she asked why here hair was wet, so just keep an eye on her."

"Of course man"

It was a few hours later of working on a murder case and Voight came out of his office, "Young jogger found in the park, lets go"

Jay looked up to see if Erin was ok for him to go but she had her head on the desk and was asleep, "Keep an eye on her" Jay said to Mouse as he left.

The team arrived at the Crime scene and Jay walked over to Voight, "Hey I've been meaning to talk to you about Erin-"

"What about Erin?"

"I woke up in the middle of the night and was sat in a boiling hot shower, fully clothed and when I pulled her out she was staring at... at nothing. I let her come today because I didn't want her on her own"

"Did you talk to her about it?"

"Yeah but I think she had PTSD"

"Erm, call Dr Charles at Chicago med, see if he would talk to Erin."

"Yeah I'll call Will and get a number later"

The team went on to inspect the murder and the area around the park while back at the district Mouse kept looking over at Erin as he noticed she kept touching her side, 

"You ok Er?" He asked

"Yeah I just need to move around as she gets uncomfortable"

"She?" Mouse asked

"We don't actually know but I feel like it's a girl. Anyway I'm gonna go for a walk and check on Gracie."

"Cool see you later" Mouse said as Erin walked down the stairs.

Jay arrived back but he couldn't see Erin, "Hey Mouse, where's Erin?"

"Oh she just went for a walk to see Gracie"

"Oh she's here anyway" Jay watched her walking up the stairs, "You alright?" He asked her

"Um yeah i'm just a bit sore today?"

"Well go sit down and rest" Jay said kissing her cheek

"How the case going?" Erin asked sitting down and rubbing her bump

"So, three dead girls so far, 23 years old but they have nothing in common, Sarah was a nurse, Emma was a teacher and Jessica who we found today was a physical therapist." Voight said

"Well the only thing they have in common is age but I was looking at the camera through the week and all three girls go jogging in the same park everyday" Ruzek said

"Ok, So Mouse you and Jay sit and look through the cameras for any suspicious people."

"OK" Mouse said as he and Jay said sitting down at his desk

The team were working on different things when Erin said jay's name, "Jay?"

"Yeah hang on,I just need to look at this last frame" Jay replied

Jay finished looking at the computer but he turned around to see Erin shaking and crying and as he turned around fully he saw he holding up her hand which was covered in blood, "ERIN!" Jay said running over to her

"Jay?" She cried

"Antonio call Gabby and get her here now... Erin you're gonna be fine, you hear me, you're gonna be fine!" Jay said as he lent down on the floor in Erin blood.
