Life outside the bullpen

Stronger together

Jay's pov: it's been a couple weeks since I've moved back in and everything is going great we are taking things slow which works best for us we became stronger that way right now it's the weekend and Erin Is hanging out with Kim for the day I decided to make some dinner for us and I am making my shrimp scampi  with garlic bread which is her favorite.It took me about an hour to make it once I got everything done and put on plate she walks in the door. 

J= perfect timing
E= oh yeah
J= yeah I just got the food done and on the plates
E= well then it's time to eat
J= oh yeah and guess what I made for dinner
E= I don't know steak or lobster
J= no it's your favorite shrimp scampi
E= oh really I've been tasting that all day you must have been reading my mind
J= of course I can now let's eat up

We sit down and eat our food after we are done we sit down on the couch

E= thanks for cooking babe
J= no problem did you have fun hanging out with him
E= yeah I was just happy we finally got a weekend off for once
J= oh yeah I hope we get more soon
E= same so what did you do all day while I was gone
J= I just clean the house up from you making a mess this morning
E= I did not make a mess liar ( laughs)
J= whatever you say
( A song comes on the radio and Erin gets up to turn  up the radio)
E= Come here
J= what
E= come dance with me
J= I don't dance
E= if you love me you will
J= of course I love you
E= so come dance with me
J= fine I will only dance with you because I love you
E= good now take my hand
J= okay I might not be a good dancer and I might step on your feet
E= well I might step on yours back
They slow dance for a few minutes then the song change and it's one of Erin's favorite
J= are we done yet
E= no we aren't let me turn this song
J= OK I was kidding anyways
E= good because this is one of my favorite songs
J= oh it is that's good to know
E= ( start singing) " when you get worried I'll be your soldier"
J= I think I know why you love this song
E= you do so why do I love this song
J= well it reminds you of me because I was an ex soldier
E= yes but also you are always saving me and that's what makes you my soldier
J= that's sweet of you to say
E= you are so welcome

As the song was ending I decided to spin her around and dip her back and bring her back up

J= how did you like my big finish
E= I loved it like how I love you
J= so maybe I do know how to dance after all
E= yes you are no reason to doubt yourself
J= Do you want to go out tonight or just stay in
E= I wouldn't mind going out tonight
J= okay I will go get a shower and get ready
E= May I join you in the shower
J= of course you can you never have to ask
  

They both get in the shower and enjoy their hot steamy shower together

E= wow that was amazing shower
J= yes it was we should have a lot more showers if they are going to be like that
E= I agree and now after that shower I don't feel like going out so let's stay in
J= that works for me since we have work tomorrow
E= yeah hopefully we don't get a big case tomorrow
J= same here you want to sleep in my shirt tonight or one of yours
E= your please
J= okay well it looks better on you than it does me
E= Why thank you let's get some sleep
   

Erin's pov; it's been a couple days or a little quiet night end and we have been busy with work we finally got off work late tonight so me and Jay picked up pizza on the way home once we got home we sat down and ate after we ate Jay spoke up

J= hey guess what
E= what
J= my brother is not an idiot anymore
E= oh really what makes him not an idiot anymore
J= well he finally told Natalie how he feels
E= He did those Halsted boys holding onto the feelings forever and not telling their crush How they feel
J= hey that's not nice to say
E= ( laughs) what it's true It Took you a while too
J= I guess that's true but we had Hank Voight that  kept me from saying anything
E= that's true he kept us apart because he didn't want me to break your heart
J= that's not possible ( he kisses her lips)
E= whatever I think he was worried because he didn't want to see me hurt and have us be acting strange in the workplace and he hast to deal with The awkwardness probably between us in the unit
J= I don't blame him at all but I would've never hurt or break your heart like that again I promise that babe

E= yes let's go we're probably going to be busy again tomorrow

We head off to bed and wants her head hit the pillow we fell asleep

Jay's pov: it's been a few days since we in  came up with idea i'm having a double date with Will and Natalie I haven't had a chance to call or talk to him because we've been busy at work with cases after case. Right now I'm at Chicago med waiting on a victim to wake up to answer some questions while I wait I hope to see will so I can talk to him about this idea. About 10 minutes later the victim wakes up and answers my questions that I needed after I walk out of the victims and I see will  so I go and talk to him. 

J= hey will wait up
WH= hey bro what's up
J= nothing just talk to a victim but I have a question for you
WH= no what's up
J= well how would you not like to go on a double date with me and Erin
WH= um are you sure about that
J= yeah why
WH= with you wanting to go on a double date with me sounds little weird doesn't sound like you
J= guess you don't know me as well as you think
WH= I don't think so what's the truth
J= how are you call me it was Erin's idea
WH= see I was right
J= so what do you say
WH= Sounds like it would be fun
J= So is that a yes
WH= that is I will talk to Natalie and see what she says and when she is free next
J= that works for me
WH= Yeah I'll let you know as soon as possible
J= okay I will let you go and I need to head back to work see you later
WH= all right see you soon say hi to Erin for me
J= I will do that same goes for Natalie
WH= get out of here already

Once I leave I head back to work luckily we were able to solve the case that we working on based on the victims answers he gave me. So me and Erin stopped and grab Chinese food on the way home. Once we get home we sit down and eat dinner while making small talk about work after dinner I clean up and then I decide to bring up my conversation with Will to Erin 

J= hey I saw will today
E= you did
J= yeah I was leaving and saw him so I stopped to talk to him
E= that's good
J= well I asked him if he and Natalie  wanted to go on a double date with us
E= what did he say
J= he liked the idea and he will get back to us once he talk to Natalie
E= so that's good
J= pressure so maybe in the next couple weeks we will have a double date to go on
E= I can't wait
J= same here I just hope when they get back to us we don't get slammed with work
E= yes hopefully

About five minutes late and my phone goes off with a text alert

J= that's will
E= what did he text you
J= him and Natalie  free next week on Friday
E= that works for us tell him that's good
J= I am Cheers to the double date
