Recovery

Part 7

"Well what about our child" the words echoed through jay's head over and over again. As Jay bent down to pick up the test, he looked at Erin, "What the hell are you talking about... you're pregnant?"

"Yeah I just found out" Erin wiped a tear which was running down her face.

"How far"

"I don't know, a month probably"

"What are you gonna do?"

"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WHAT AM I GOING TO DO? I'm going to have a child Jay, our child"

"I don't-"

"You don't What... wanna raise a child... want me to have this baby" Erin ran at Jay and she pushed him out the door, "Well as long as you are drinking alcohol or on drugs then you will not be going anywhere near this child... and I will definitely not be having an alcoholic raise it" Erin slammed the door on Jay as he pounded on it.

Erin walked into the bedroom and collapsed onto her bed in a flood of tears.

Jay was outside Erin's door when he just slid down the wall and sat next to the door, "fuck!" Jay whispered to himself.

The next morning

Erin got up out of bed and she rubbed her eyes as she walked into to lounge, she noticed a shadow sat outside her door. She walked over to the door and she slid down the other side of the door and sat on the floor, "Jay is that you?"

"Yeah Erin it's me"

"Why didn't you go back to your apartment?"

"Because I don't have an apartment anymore... I sold it"

"Why would you do that?"

"Because I love you Erin and I want to be with you all the time."

"How could you do this Jay how could you get drunk"

"I wasn't drunk Erin... I wanted to see how you would react"

"Why would you do that?"

"To see if you still love me... and you got mad so i think"

Jay watched as the door unlocked and it slowly opened, "of course I still love you and you didn't have to test me". Jay stood up and wrapped his arms around Erin, "Are you really pregnant?"

"Yeah I am" Erin nodded her head as she cried

"Hey I am going to be an amazing dad to this baby"

"Please Jay you have to promise me"

"Erin I promise you... when I left the district, I went to med and I'm going to see dr Charles every week"

"Thankyou" Erin said pushing herself away.

"We're having a baby" Jay said as he looked down at her.

"We're having a baby" Erin said as she smiled and hugged Jay.

It had been a month since Jay and Erin found out they were pregnant and they were on the way to the hospital for their first scan.

As Erin jumped up and the bed, the doctor walked in, "good morning" she said.

"Morning..." Erin said

"So your first scan today. How far along do you think you are?"

"Around two months"

Erin held on to jay's hand as the doctor did the scan. Erin was watching the doctors face when it changed, "what's wrong?" Erin said.

"Well there's nothing wrong but you are a little further along than you thought"

"How far?" Jay asked

"18 weeks"

"I'm four and half months pregnant" Erin scoffed

"Yeah you are"

"How didn't I know. I haven't been sick and noticed any changes. I know I missed my period but I was going through a stressful time."

"Thats perfectly normal, some mothers don't have any sickness in the first trimester"

"I cant believe it"

"Do you want to know the sex?"

Erin looked at Jay and he nodded, "Yeah"

"I can tell you that you are having a girl"

Erin put her hand over her mouth as she just cried. Jay stood up and hugged her and she cried, "a little girl!" Jay laughed.

Erin and Jay had gotten back to their apartment when Erin was stood in the lounge looking in the full length mirror. Jay looked over and looked at her, "What the hell are you doing?"

Erin was stood sideways on the mirror with her vest pulled up and she was looking at her stomach, "don't you see anything?"

"No I don't am I supposed to"

Erin pulled her top down and slouched over to the couch, "wheres my bump?" Jay put his hand on Erin's stomach and looked at her, "it'll come don't worry but just remember in there is our tiny little baby girl.

Erin put her hand on top of jay's and smiled at him, " I'm really proud of you" Erin said as she spun round and lent on Jay.

"Thanks... I can't say it's easy like some days the urge is there but I know I have you and our baby right with me"

"Yeah you do and you can tell me when this is going on. Remember I have been through this myself."

"Yeah Who was your partner in all this"

"Hank and this wife. They took me in and treated me like I was their own even after everything I put them through with the drugs and stuff."

"God no wonder Voight wasn't stressed"

"Hey!" Erin laughed, "it was a long time ago"

"I know it was" Jay kissed erin and the top of the head as they both laid together on the couch.

Two days later

"Erin get down!" Jay's shouted as he jumped on top of her as the guns went off. They both laid flat on the floor until the gunfire died off and the rest of the team came running in. Jay sat up and looked at Erin, "You alright?"

"Yeah... Yeah I'm good. Thanks"

"Partners remember" Jay said as helped Erin up off the floor.

"Yeah always" she said as they left the warehouse.

Jay was leaning up against the car when Erin moved his head, "What are you doing?"

"You cut your head. It looks deep"

"I'm good I just hit when I jumped on you"

"Speaking of that. You didn't actually have to that you know."

Jay looked around him as he put his hand on Erin's stomach, "Yeah yeah I did"

Erin smiled as he pushed his hands off, "not here Jay. I'm not ready for desk duty yet"

"I'm just scared you're going to get hurt"

"I know you are but I won't and i promise you we will tell Hank soon" Erin said as she got in the car.
