Life outside the bullpen

Double date

Jay's POV; it's been a couple weeks since Thanksgiving and Hanks still hasn't given me an answer yet I am kind of worried that he may say no. Here in a couple hours me and Erin we're going to go on a double date with Will and Natalie, ever since they got together we have been on a few dates so far so it's nothing new right now Erin is out shopping for I think a new outfit for tonight. So I am just watching TV as I am doing that my phone all of a sudden starts to ring so I look and see who it is hank That is calling me I hope he is not calling me into a crime scene I want to enjoy my day off so I decide to answer the phone

J= hello boss what's up
HV= you don't have to worry this call isn't about calling you to scene
J= that's good so what's up
HV= well this has to do with what you asked me on Thanksgiving
J= oh yeah so
HV= well sorry it took me this long to get back to you
J= no problem I understand
HV= well anyways I wanted to tell you I thought long and hard and I decided to give you my permission to marry Erin
J= thank you Hank may I ask what made you decide to give me your permission
HV= Of course not I was talking with Al Saturday and he brought up a good point he would mind me of when you got kidnapped a couple years ago I was right when you called her she got her stuff cleaned and came to get you back and he told me if that was anyone else but you she would've came back at all
J= I think she would come back for you
HV= I don't think so but once she came back she would keep me different person and I saw her smile more and more each day so it made me realize I just want her to be happy and that's what she is when she's with you and I know you will take care of her so that's all that matters to me is to make her happy
J= why thank you
( Erin walks in the door)
HV= no problem tell Erin I said hi when you see her
J= I will, talk to you later
HV= you too jay bye ( they hang up)
E= so was that
J= that was hank
E= don't tell me we have to go to work right now
J= no he just wanted to talk to me about something
E= what did he want to talk to you about
J= it was nothing
E= oh really then what was it
J= nothing I promise he said he told me to tell you he said hi
E= OK well that's nice of him
J= yes so did you find a new outfit for tonight
E= yes I did so now we should be good for tonight for our date
J= that's good so are you hungry
E= yeah I am
J= all right I will order a pizza for lunch since we don't have much food in the house
E= that works for me
 

 So I went to order some pizza for us. A couple hours later it was time to get ready for the day of course I got ready first about five minutes after I was ready I called out to Erin 

J= are you ready yet
E= just give me a few minutes
J= Okay but you better hurry up or we are going to be late
E= we will be there on time don't worry
J= I am not worried ( Erin comes out)
E= it sounds like it but anyways I am ready if you are
J= umm....babe..you look.....wow
E= why thank you babe you don't want to add yourself
J= why thank you if I do say so myself red is definitely your color that you should wear all the time
E= why thank you let's go
J= let's go before my brother calls me and asked me where we are
E= oh yeah let's go 
J= May I ask if I could drive tonight
E= I guess so just because you look so good tonight
J= thank you 
E= now let's go

We arrive  within 10 minutes and I walk in and see that they are already seated at the table so we walk over

WH= hey guys
J= hey bro hey Natalie
NM= hey jay hey Erin how are things going
E= hey Natalie  things are going good
NM= that's good
E= yes so how is Owen
NM= he is great thanks for asking

E= hey that's not true
WH= no you guys aren't late so don't worry
E= see I told you so
NM= besides will take the longest out of the both of us
WH= hey that's not true
NM= yes it is it takes you an hour every day to do your hair
WH= no it doesn't
J= bro I believe Natalie I've seen you fix your hair for an hour at a time
E= will it sounds like you should give up
WH= yeah I think so
NM= so how was work going for you guys down at the district
J= it's been good not too busy so that's good
E= Yeah but guess what happened The other day at work
J= Erin don't tell them the story
WH= now I want to know the story
E= well we were chasing a female suspect we backed her up in a corner where she didn't have any place to go so she decided to kick Jay in the junk and Jay was in pain and crying the rest of the day he was worse than Adam when He got kicked in the junk
NM= oh my god poor baby ( they all laugh)
WH= why couldn't anyone take a video of the incident so I can laugh at it all day long
J= thank God nobody did
E= how has work been for you guys
WH= not too bad nothing crazy
NM= actually there is something that happened this week to will
J= oh really what happened
WH= please don't tell that story
E= now I want to know the story
NM= well we had a patient who came in just feeling nauseated and we ran all the test when we were doing a routine check up on him he started to throw up all over will and then it turned into blood some of it got in his hair and he spent all day washing it out.
J= haha poor will's hair
NM= that's not all of it
E= what else is there
NM= well when he came over to my house that night he was playing with Owen with his Legos and Owen decided to throw a Lego at Will and had a blackeye for a couple days so you can say well had a very bad day
E= I would say so
NM= I guess it was a bad week for Halstead men
E= for sure
J= I have a question
NM= what's up
J= why is it only the men who get something done to them
WH= oh yeah like when is it the woman going to have something happen to her
NM= well because men are always way more stupid than woman so that's why they have things done to them
E= that is so true
J= well it's not fair
NM= I think it is
WH= I agree with you bro
E= hey Natalie I need to use the restroom do you want to come with me
WH= what is it with girls and them having to use the restroom at the same time
J= or never going to the bathroom alone
NM= sure and it's because we like to talk about our boyfriends in there let's go
( they leave)
WH= I wonder what they are going to talk about in there
J= Who knows hey while they are gone can I ask you a question
WH= sure what's up
J= I want to know if you still have the key to Mom's safety deposit box
WH= yes I do why do you need it
J= I want Mom's ring because I'm going to ask Erin to marry me
WH= wow that's amazing
J= yes so can I have the key
WH= did you talk to Dad about it
J= why would I do that
WH= it's dad ring  he gave it to Mom
J= that's the point Dad gave it to her and it belongs to her not him
WH= fair point
J= so can I have it
WH= I will think about it
J= why do you need to think about it
( before Will can answer the girls come back to the table)
NM= hey guys did you miss us
WH= yes we did
E= that's good what did you guys talk about while we were gone
J= nothing really
NM= oh really nothing
E= okay that sounds like fun
WH= it was
  We stayed for another two hours and then we all went home
A Couple days later

I was at home watching TV while Erin went to hang out with Kim at Molly's When all the sudden somebody was knocking on my door so I got up and answered it and it was Will 

J= hey will
WH= hey is Erin here
J= no why
WH= well I figured you don't want to show her this just yet ( he holds out the velvet box)
J= oh wow thank you
WH= your welcome
J= May I ask why are you finally decided to give me her ring
WH= well you remember how Mom has said it's not anyways but whoever meets the right girl first gets the ring
J= if only Mom could meet Natalie and Erin she would
WH= she would love them
J= yes she would
WH= are you sure about this are you sure you ready for this
J= I am so ready I even asked Hank's permission to marry her
WH= are you doing I'm surprised I haven't seen you it was bruises on your body anymore I swear I thought he would hurt you if you ever asked his permission to marry her
J= I know I think  he just wants her to be happy and I can understand that
WH= True so I better get out of here I have work soon plus it gives you time to hide this
J= all right thanks will see you later
WH= see you
  

Once Will left I had to find a place to put the ring where Erin can't find it. Once I found a place to hide it I had to start thinking about when will be the perfect time to propose to her.
