The Halstead Freckles - [Linstead] ✓

9. - Lately I've Been Losing Sleep, Dreaming About The Things That We Could Be

"What do you mean 'We have to talk about that'? I thought you were okay with it." Jay said, obviously confused.

"Oli got injured, Jay. I don't think changing cities is a very good idea for him right now."

"But mommy..."

"Why don't we wait that he's okay, and then we go?" Jay suggested, his voice full of hope.

"I don't know." Erin sighed, and with that, the conversation was over.

"Halstead, what's up?" Voight's voice was heard out of Jay's phone.

"Hey, sarge. I think I convinced her. We're probably coming by the end of the week. If anything changes, I'll give you a call."

"No kidding. She actually does listen to you." Voight chuckled at the other end of the line.

Jay rolled his eyes, but his lips did turn a little upwards. "Yeah. I just wanted to tell you, so you wouldn't take in someone else before we got there."

"Of course. Just come as soon as you can, we have quite a lot work to do."

"We'll try."

"Mommy?" his voice woke Erin up and she saw him standing by her bed.

"What are you doing in the middle of the night?" she asked and took him in her lap.

"I wanted to tell you something."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. I wanted you to know that I really really like Jay and I would really really like living together, all three of us. And I think I would really really like it in Chicago. So please don't be so hard on him. I think my foot is gonna be alright in a few days." he smiled shyly to her and hugged her.

She rubbed his back and whispered "You know what? I think I would really really like living together, too." she chuckled and pressed a kiss to his hair.

"Can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Just for tonight." she smiled to him.

He crawled to the other side of the bed, well, to the other side of Jay and cuddled into his side. Erin cuddled into the other one.

When Jay opened his eyes, he was greeted with a similar view as the morning before, but with an extra person cuddled into his side. He ran a hand through Erin's hair and let out a satisfied sigh. The best sight to wake up to.

Now Erin started to stir as well and the second her eyes landed on Jay's, her lips turned into a smile. She quickly pecked his lips and when she pulled back her smile grew even bigger. "Morning." she whispered.

"Morning," he smiled back and ran his hand through her hair again. "What's our lil' monkey doing here?" he turned to Oli and caressed his freckled cheek.

"He came here last night really late, saying he wants to tell me something."

"And that would be?"

"He said that he really really likes you and he would really really like if we all lived together in Chicago." she smirked.

"And you told him what?"

"That I would actually really really like that too." she smiled up to him and bit her lower lip.

"You sure?" a smile immediately appeared on Jay's face.

"Yeah," she nodded her head "But, could we wait for Oli to get a little better?"

"Of course." he said and kissed her with a smile on his lips.

i know this is half shorter than the usual chapters but it's 1am here in slovenia and i'm leaving for vacation in croatia in a few hours so i think it would be smart to start packing lmao.

oh and someone asked me how i got the idea for this story. it was just a day after the season finale, i was kinda depressed about it. we were playing volleyball in school outside and there was a group of 2nd(i think) grade kids. One of them was so. damn. cute. He reminded me of Jesse and Sophia at the same time and I was just like wtf. He had Big blue eyes and lots, lots of freckles and wavy brown hair. This is such a Linstead kid, I thought. And that's how the idea of Oli was made. At first I really didn't know how to name him so I decided to name him after Oli Sykes lmao. Sorry If you don't like it.

And thank you again for all the sweet comments you don't know how much it means to me<33
