Locked and Loaded: A Jay Halstead Fanfiction

Chapter 13

Harley walked into the bullpen, bouncing a almost 6 week old Skylar in her arms. Upton smiled and walked over to great the adorable baby. Harley had a look of our exhaustion planted on her face.

"Damn, you look tired" observed Haley.

"Yeah, we're having a rough morning. The idiots a few houses down think we should shoot off fireworks all week long instead of just on 4th of July" explained a frustrated Harley, "Turns our baby's don't sleep very well when booming sounds go off all the time".

"People are disrespectful asses".

"Oh yeah. And we're on the new kick where if mommy stops bouncing, she screams bloody murder!"

"Here, we're just doing paperwork because the Commander complained we're behind. So basically we're benched and I'm bored" Haley explained, "I'll take the baby, you go catch a nap in the break room".

"Oh my God you're my hero".

Harley handed Skye to her, setting the diaper bag and carrier in front of Jay's desk. She gave her daughter a peck on the forehead before crashing in the break room.

Haley bounced and cooed to the baby, trying to get her to sleep. The guys came back from picking up donuts and placed them on Atwater's desk. Skylar let out a little coo as she spotted her daddy. Jay rose his eyebrow in confusion and looked up from his phone.

"Why do you have a baby?" asked Adam, pointing to Skylar.

"Why not?" teased Upton.

"Is that my baby?" asked Jay with a slight chuckle.

"Yeah" chuckled Haley, "Your fiancé was going stir crazy and Skylar wasn't enjoying the fireworks very much, so she came by. I told her I'd take care of this little one, so she could take nap. She's passed out in the break room".

The guys peaked in the break room to see Harley sprawled out on the couch, fast asleep. They chuckled and walked back over to the desks. Jay held his arms out to Haley, taking his daughter from her.

"Hey baby girl" he cooed, "Are the fireworks bothering you too?"

"So this is the soft side of Jay Halstead" stated Ruzek, "Gotta admit it's a little strange".

"Uncle Adam's just jealous he's still single and alone" replied Jay as he bounced a little.

"Thanks Halstead".

10 minutes later Skylar was asleep. He sat down at his desk with her in the baby carrier, asleep on his chest. Voight has no problem with the baby being there as long as work was getting done which it was.

Three hours later Harley woke up. She walked out of the bullpen to see Upton and Jay chatting, Ruzek spinning in circles on his chair, and Atwater actually doing paperwork.

"Hey sleeping beauty" teased Upton as Harley walked into the bullpen.

"Hey" she smiled before turning to look at Jay, "Hey".

"Hi" chuckled Jay.

"Is she asleep?"

"Yep. She should be up any minute though. It's been a little over two hours".

"She's a little Daddy's girl. She'll only sleep for me if I'm walking around".

"Well you both got your naps in. That's what matters".

"Yeah" she sighed, "I have to stop by the firehouse still. Gabby wanted to talk to me about the Fire/PD/MED grill out tomorrow".

"Okay. I'll get her in her carrier if you want to get her stuff put back in her diaper bag".

"Sure" smiled Harley before starting to put this away, "Thank you for watching her".

"Of course. She's my little girl".

Harley kissed Jay goodbye before driving over to the firehouse. Skylar was crying in the backseat the whole way there.

"I know baby girl, you're hungry but momma can't breast feed and drive" cooed Harley as she talked to Skye, "We're almost to the firehouse then mommy will feed you".

Harley was so excited when she pulled up to the firehouse. She climbed in the backseat and pulled out her breast feeding cover. She positioned herself until Skylar latched down and then Harley headed into the firehouse. As she walked into the garage she noticed nobody was at the squad table, but all the trucks were there. She shook it off and headed inside. That's when Harley realized it was lunch time for them too.

"Oh my goodness!" cheered Gabby as she spotted me, "Is that the baby?"

"Yes but she's eating. She should be done in about 20 minutes though and then you can have your cuddles" Harley chuckled.

"Deal! You hungry?"

"Oh I don't want to intrude".

"Stop. You're family" smiled Kelly, pulling a chair out for her.

"Thanks Kelly" Harley smiled, "but I have special person lunch with Becca at daycare today".

"Oh my god. She was so excited about it this morning. Wasn't she Matt?" asked Gabby, lightly smacking Matt on the back.

"Oh yeah. She couldn't stop talking about it" commented Matt, "She thinks it's cool she's an Auntie".

Everyone chatted as Harley finished feeding Skylar then handed her off to Gabby. They head to go over some final details for the CFD/CPD picnic tomorrow which Harley and Gabby got stuck helping with.

"That's everything right?" Harley asked, making sure that had worked out all the kinks.

"Yep and perfect timing because you have to get going" stayed Gabby as Harley looked at the time.

She got Skylar into the carrier, packed up the diaper bag, and said goodbye to everyone. Then she booked it to the daycare. Once Harley was there, she signed in as a visitor and headed to the lunch room with Skylar in the chest carrier. The kids were sitting at their lunch table, so Harley needed to spot Becca. Suddenly a hand flew into the air and there was her little sister, waving like a maniac. Harley chuckled and headed over to the table. Becca had saved her a seat next to her.

"Sissy!" she cried and carefully gave Harley a hug, not wanting to squish the baby.

"Hey munchkin!" Harley smiled as she set the Jimmy John's down on the table and sat down, "I brought your favorite".

"Yay!" she cried again before turning her attention to Skylar, "Hi baby Skye".

The girls had a fun filled lunch. Harley loved watching Becca brag about being an 'auntie' and telling them about her big sister's job. When lunch ended, Harley was taking Becca with her (which was a surprise to Becca). Gabby had told the daycare that morning that Harley was picking her up.

As Harley buckled the baby carrier into the car and Becca buckled herself, Becca wouldn't stop asking questions. She was so curious as to why her big sister was taking her home early. It wasn't until Harley pulled out of the parking lot that she began to answer Becca's questions.

"I thought maybe we'd go to the park, get ice cream, and then go to my house and watch a movie. How does that sound?"

"Like fun!" she cried and Harley couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright then. It's a plan".

"I love you sissy".

"I love you too munchkin".
