{Jay's POV}
Erin's less than two weeks from her due date and we're super excited. Last week I had Kim take Erin out for some 'girl time' as they call it. And I hung up Jackson's name above his crib. Early this morning I heard Erin whimper in pain so I turn over to face her
J~ " you okay?"
E~ " I don't know, ow" I walk over to her side of the bed and kneel down in front of her
J~ " Er talk to me babe"
E~ " jay it hurts"
J~ " what?"
E~ " my back"
J~ " it's okay"
E~ " Jay something's not right I feel it"
J~ " okay, let's go to med" I help Erin get changed and we get in the car and we head to med. once we arrive there will is there
W~ " hey baby bro, what's up?"
J~ " we don't know, Erin having really bad back pains"
W~ " it could be a number of things, let's get you into a room and we'll have a look"
E~ " okay" will grabs Erin a wheelchair and we take her into the room she's going to be staying in and after a few minuets Natalie comes in
N~ " hey Erin, will said you were here, you wanna tell me what's going on?"
E~ " I woke up this morning around 7 and I felt these really really bad pains in my back"
N~ " has your water broken?"
E~ " no"
N~ " when I had Owen I had the same pains, are they in your lower back?"
E~ " yeah"
N~ " it sounds like labor, but your water hasn't broken yet,so I'd like to keep you for a few days to make sure it's not just back pains"
E~ " sure" Erin gets changed into an hospital gown and lays back down in the bed
J~ " you feeling any better?"
E~ " no, not in the slightest"
J~ " I'm sorry"
E~ " why are you sorry?"
J~ " well I did this to you didn't I?"
E~ " well this is your kid, so I guess, but hey if he comes today it'll be worth it"
J~ " yeah, I just hate seeing you in pain"
E~ " I've been shot, stabbed, and god knows what else, I can handle this" I slightly chuckle
J~ " okay ' tough guy', I just still feel bad"
E~ " stop that" she points to me
J~ " sorry" I throw my hands up in defense causing Erin to giggle. after a few hours Natalie comes back in
N~ " hey Erin how you feelin?"
E~ " no better"
N~ " okay, so since your only a week and a half until your due date if we need to Jackson's lungs are developed enough we can deliver today, but that's only if needed"
E~ " and him coming today won't hurt him?"
N~ " no, we'd have concerns if you were two months from your due date, but like I said his lungs are almost if not completely developed so he'd be fine"
E~ " well if this pain keeps up I'm gonna tell you to deliver him today"
N~ " well if you need anything both you and Jay have mine and will's number so text either of us and we'll come"
E~ " okay"
N~ " try to get some rest, and here's the remote for the TV"
E~ " thanks"
N~ " no problem, I'll be back around 2 to check back up on you, if by then the pain hasn't stopped or eased off we'll see what you guys wanna do"
E~ " alright" nat leaves and Erin lays on her side and slowly falls asleep. My phone rings
* on the phone*
J~ " hello?"
W~ " hey man it's Wesley"
J~ " hey"
W~ " you busy?"
J~ " kinda, Erin's in the hospital"
W~ " oh alright, is she having the baby?"
J~ " not sure"
W~ " why is she in the hospital then?"
J~ " she's having really bad back pains, hey I've got to go Natalie just walked in"
W~ " alright"
*end of call*
N~ " is she sleeping?"
J~ " yeah she fell asleep around 45 minuets ago"
N~ " how was her back pain?"
J~ " she said it wasn't any better"
N~ " okay well text me when she wakes up and if it's not better you two will get to meet your son today"
J~ " alright" after 30 minuets I hear Erin whimpering
J~ " babe what's wrong?"
E~ " my back hurts more"
J~ " okay I'll call nat" I call her and after a few minuets she's in Erin's room
N~ " hey Erin what's going on?"
E~ " my back hurts worst"
N~ " okay, who's your OB?"
E~ " dr Bailey"
N~ " alright, how would you like to meet your little boy today?"
E~ " it's not gonna hurt him?"
N~ " I already talked about this, his lungs are almost if not completely developed, it won't hurt him a bit"
She looks at me wanting to know my opinion
J~ " if it's what you want?"
E~ " yeah I want to have him today"
N~ " alright, I'll page Dr Bailey, and we'll see about you two finally getting to hold your little boy today"
E~ " until then what can you do about this pain"
N~ " I'll see what I can do" she walks out
J~ " I know something that will make you feel better"
E~ " Jay."
J~ " oh not that Erin! I meant why don't I give you a back rub?"
E~ " that sounds amazing" Erin sits up and I sit behind her and start rubbing her back
E~ " this feels really good, thank you"
J~ " I'm sure, and I'd do anything for you, your my favorite person"
E~ " and your sometimes mine"
J~ " hey"
E~ " let's get real your kinda the reason I'm here"
J~ " fair point" we hear a knock at the door
B~ " hey Erin, how you feeling today?"
E~ " better now that I've made Jay my back rubber, but when he stops I'm in a lot of back pain"
B~ " I assume that Natalie told you that we'd see about you two getting to finally be able to hold Jackson in your arms"
E~ " yes"
B~ " well that's what's gonna happen today, Jackson will be here sometime tonight"
J~ " awesome"
B~ " so we'll break your water, the contractions will start, and after you'll have a beautiful boy in your hands"
E~ " okay"
J~ " how long before she actually has him?"
B~ " see that we don't know, it could be atleast 2 days once the contractions start"
E~ " oh hell no" both me and miranda started laughing
B~ " we'll make sure it won't be long"
*4 hours later*
Erin had Jackson about a hour ago and I haven't let him go since
E~ " Jay give me my son"
J~ " he's mine too"
E~ " Jay"
J~ " fine"
E~ " hey look at that he's got the Halstead freckles, with your brown hair and blueish, greenish eyes"
J~ " how did you not know that"
E~ " you've been holding him since I handed him to you almost a hour ago"
J~ " okay fair point"
B~ " knock knock"
E~ " hey miranda"
B~ " hey here it's Dr Bailey"
J~ " what's up dr Bailey"
B~ " Jay, don't be a smartass"
J~ " you said to call you Dr Bailey"
B~ " Jay. Tread lightly, now let me see this baby" she took him from Erin
B~ " he looks almost exactly like Jay"
E~ " yeah, the Halstead freckles, his brown hair, and Jay's blue, green eyes, it kinda pisses me off"
B~ " honey I thought your natural hair is brown"
E~ " nope, it's actually black, but I didn't like the black so I went blonde"
B~ " oh okay, here, I better get going"
J~ " I'll take him"
E~ " Jay, I'm holding him for a while"
J~ " oh fine"
B~ " Jay get the hell outta my way"
J~ " yes ma'am"
B~ " here Erin, I must say Jackson is the perfect name for this little guy!"
E~ " thank you, both me and Jay picked it out, and of course he has Jay's last name"
B~ " when's you twos wedding?"
E~ " December 31st, 2015"
B~ " ooo a winter wedding, sounds beautiful!"
E~ " yeah, Jackson will be in it, which is why we decided to wait"
B~ " yeah, when I met Ben tuck was 4 so when we got married Ben actually made tuck his best man, tuck was thrilled, it made the little guy feel so important"
E~ " awe, well Jay already has asked Antonio to be his best man"
B~ " who's your made of honor?"
E~ " well I was hoping maybe you?"
B~ " are you kidding? I'd love to"
E~ " yay! All of us actually go to get our dressed fitted next week"
B~ " all of us?"
E~ " me, you, Kim, and a few of my best friends from highschool"
B~ " awesome! I'll see you guys in a little bit"
E~ " alright, bye" miranda leaves and it's just me and Erin with Jackson now.
E~ " Jay stop starring at me"
J~ " sorry I just can't help it, your just amazing"
E~ " whatever"
J~ " it's true"
E~ " okay, it's killing you isn't it?"
J~ " what?"
E~ " not holding him"
J~ " a little bit not gonna lie"
E~ " come here" She pats the bed and I come lay with her
E~ " there now you can hold both of us"
J~ " I like this idea" I kiss the top of her head wrapping my arm around her shoulder, and she lays her head on my chest
N~ " hey guys"
E~ " hey nat"
N~ " how's the little guy??"
E~ " he's good, Jay's fixing to give him a bottle actually"
N~ " awesome, have you guys heard from will?"
J~ " no, why?"
N~ " oh I was just wandering"
J~ " Natalie"
N~ " fine will won't answer my texts or calls, I'm just a tad worried"
J~ " maybe he got pulled into emergency surgery"
N~ " your right, oh my gosh he's so handsome"
J~ " I know I am"
N~ " not you, Jackson, he's so adorable"
E~ " yeah"
N~ " oh my god those damn Halstead freckles, Jay he looks so much like you, but he has Erin's facial structure and nose"
E~ "ha! Told ya so"
J~ " whatever babe"
N~ " hey I better get going, I've been out with a crap ton of post-ops so I'll see you guys in a little bit"
E~ " bye nat"
E~ " that little boy has you wrapped around his finger and he's not even a day old yet"
J~ " hey I had you wrapped around my finger the day we met"
E~ " no you didn't"
J~ " bet"
E~ " okay I'll admit I had a crush on you from the day we met, but you didn't had me wrapped around your finger, I'm attached to no one" I give her a look
E~ " what, okay that was a lie, I'm attached to Jackson"
J~ " hey what about me"
E~ " I'll admit I kinda love you"
J~ " kinda? Babe you adore me"
E~ " don't push it"
{ Erin's POV}
After a while Jay and Jackson are sleeping in the little bed thing nat brought in. Hank came by with some food food for me and Jay
H~ " hey kiddo"
E~ " shhh, look" hank walks over to the other side of the bed and sees Jackson sleeping on Jay's chest and Jay sleeping as well
H~ " is Halstead that tired?"
E~ " he hasn't been sleeping good, I heard him in the kitchen last week at 2 in the morning"
H~ " well he better get rested up, until Jackson's about 6 or 8 weeks old he'll be waking up every hour on the hour"
E~ " yeah we know, thank you for the food"
H~ " it's nothing ( he looked back at Jay and Jackson) you know Camille would be extremely proud of how you change you life"
E~ " you think so?"
H~ " I know so, because I'm proud"
E~ " thanks hank" his phone went off causing Jackson to stir and Jay to wake up
J~ " hey hank" he said in his just woken up voice
H~ " sorry halstead, didn't mean to wake you"
J~ " it's fine, what's up"
H~ " nothing just Antonio, go back to sleep before Jackson wakes up, I'll be back after I finish work"
J~ " okay"
H~ " alrighty kiddo I've got to get goin, Antonio just put somebody in the cage"
E~ " damnit all the good stuff happened when I'm gone"
H~ " sorry kid, see you in a little bit" hank leaves
J~ " why did hank stop by?"
E~ " to bring us some purple pig"
J~ " okay" he got up and carefully placed Jackson in the little crib that nat brought in for him and Jay walked over to grab my food and his so I could eat while Jackson slept
E~ " hank it literally my favorite person right now"
J~ " no kidding" we both lightly laugh
E~ " dang babe, slow down you'll choke"
J~ " sorry I'm just really hungry"
E~ " I'm sure you haven't eaten since yesterday" I rub his shoulder lightly, there was a light knock at the door and my birth mother bunny walked in
E~ " what do you want?"
J~ " who is she?"
E~ " this is my birth mom, bunny"
J~ " I thought Camille was your birth mom"
E~ " no hank and Camille adopted me when I was 18"
B~ " who are you?"
E~ " leave. Now."
B~ " why?"
J~ " look I don't know who you are but if my fiancé doesn't want you here then you need to leave." Jay says in a low deep voice trying not to wake Jackson who was sleeping beside me
B~ " oh look a baby. I assume he's yours" she pointed to Jay
E~ " oh my god leave"
B~ " well I had to ask you did sleep with a lot of guys in highschool"
J~ " leave. Now"
B~ " I have a right to see my grandson"
E~ " he's not your grandson he's hank and Camille's grandson" she went to walk over to the crib but Jay stepped in front of it so she couldn't see him
J~ " I'm not telling you again, your not seeing our son, now leave, I will call security" Jay said in a pissed off tone
B~ " I'll be back later" she walked out
E~ " I'm sorry"
J~ " what for?"
E~ " her, she's been a pain in my ass since Hank and Camille legally adopted me"
J~ " Erin, I love you. But I have one question"
E~ " what?"
J~ " is bunny her real name?" I laugh
E~ " no it's actually Barbara"
J~ " ohhh okay" a few minuets later Jackson wakes up and Jay grabs him
J~ " here bud go to mama"
E~ " you two are gonna be attach at the hip when he's older"
J~ " why do you say that"
E~ " because he's already attached to you" there was a knock at the door and the whole intelligence unit came in
An~ " hey, where's the little guy"
E~ " hey, he's right here"
An~ " can I hold him?"
E~ " of course" I hand Jackson to Antonio
An~ " hey bud I'nm your uncle Antonio, I'm going to teach you how to kick your daddy's butt when he gets on your nerves"
E~ " Antonio."
An~ " sorry linds" everyone took turn holding him and after a few hours they left so we could get some sleep.
