To say Erin was nervous was an understatement. It was the first time they were going to see their baby, hear it's heartbeat. She just wanted he or she to be healthy. She sat in the waiting room waiting to be called. For some reason Jay wasn't there, she had been calling him non stop but nothing. He was working a case but she didn't expect him to forget this. "God damn it Halstead, of all days" she mumbled to herself.
"Mrs Erin Halstead" the nurse announced from the hallway. Erin got up and looked at her "Yes that's me" The nurse motioned Erin to follow her "This way ma'am" Erin followed her into a cubicle "If you just want to wait in here the doctor will be with you shortly" She smiled and walked out. Erin hoped up on the bed and waited patiently. She really couldn't shake her nerves, she thought she could handle it but that's when she thought Jay would be by her side.
The door opened up as the doctor walked in, to Erins surprise it was Natalie "Hey Erin, I just want to say a big congratulations, I couldn't be happier for the two of you. Sorry I couldn't be there the other night when you and Jay told everyone. I just seen your name on the list so I thought I'd pop down and say hi. If you need anything feel free to call, day or night" she bent down and gave Erin a hug, she went to walk out but Erin grabbed her hand "Nat would you mind staying? I have no idea where Jay is and I'm really nervous" she paused "I just wouldn't mind some company" Natalie smiled as she sat next to Erin "Sure thing Erin I'd loved too. But just so you know there's no way he would do this on purpose I know he wouldn't want to miss a thing" Erin nodded as she held her stomach, she knew.
The doctor walked in "Hello Erin, I'm Dr Elise Parker and I will be your doctor throughout this pregnancy" she smiled towards Erin "So how far along are you now? 13 weeks?" Erin nodded "Little nervous huh? First time mum?" Erin squeezed Natalies hand "Yeh can't tell then" she laughed.
The doctor went through all the appropriate questions for Erin before she started the ultrasound "Okay Erin that's all the questions now let's see your baby" The doctor smiled "If you just want to lift your shirt up for me" Erin lifted it up as the doctor put the cold jelly on her lower stomach then all of a sudden she heard footsteps running down the hallway and loud voices. The door swung open, it was Jay. "Babe I am so sorry, I hope I didn't miss anything" he bent over leaning his hands on his knees out of breath. All three of them laughed "I'm assuming your the father" Dr Parker chuckled "Yeh Jay Halstead" Natalie stood up and kissed Erins cheek "I told you" she patted Jay on the shoulder as she walked out. "Okay then, we ready to see this baby now?" Dr Parker asked, they both nodded.
The sound was overwhelming. Erin looked over at Jay to see tears forming in his eyes, he grabbed her hands and held them tight. She could tell how happy he was "That's our baby Erin" she smiled at him and looked towards the monitor "I know" he stood up and kissed her.
"Okay so baby looks very healthy, good size. You should start to show in the next couple of weeks, we will book you another appointment with us in about 8-10 weeks for a checkup and if you want we will hopefully be able to tell you if baby is a boy or girl" Parker smiled as she wiped the jelly off Erins stomach "Congratulations to you both, if you have any questions or any worries feel free to give us a call" they both nodded, they both couldn't wipe the smiles off theirs faces "Thanks doc" Jay said.
Jay and Erin were walking out to the car park "Babe I am so sorry, out of all days this just was crazy and I kept trying to get away and" Erin stopped him with a kiss "I don't care, you were there when it counted, that's all that matters" Jay smiled embracing her with a hug "Now as much as I just want to come home with you and soak up all this I really need to get back, it's a tough one" Erin smirked "What you thought I was going home? Hell no I'm coming in to show little baby Halstead to everyone" Erin passed the ultrasound photo to Jay, his eyes widened "Wow it just keeps getting more real" Erin laughed "Yeh no backing out now Mr"
You could hear chatter coming from the bullpen. Erin and Jay were walking up the steps together, this time holding hands. This usually didn't happen even though everyone knew and they were married they still didn't like showing off their affection for each other at work. But today was a special occasion.
The whole unit turned towards them. Voight came out of his office confused "Erin I didn't think you were coming in today" she smiled and reached into her pocket "I wasn't but it wouldn't be the same if I didn't show this off to my family" she held up the ultrasound photo. Everyone embraced them both in a big group hug. Once they all let go Voight was still standing there, Erin walked up to him and handed him the photo "There you go grandpa" he smiled pulling her in for a hug "This day just got a whole lot better"
