Jay shut the door behind him as Erin threw her phone and keys on the kitchen counter and walked over to the fridge to get some water. It had been a couple days after Erin got out of the hospital.

"Erin can we please talk" Jay stood behind the counter waiting for her to turn around.

Erin "Jay we already have and I have made my decision"

Jay "Dr Rhodes didn't just say something could happen he said there was a very good chance of something happening, he said we could lose the baby anyway" he could hear Erin starting to cry, he walked over to her and pulled her into his chest "I know you made a decision but we still have a couple days if you change your mind"

Erin pulled away away from his grip "For an abortion?" Her voice started to become angry.

Jay turn around and brushed his hands through his hair "That is not what he called it" she slammed her hands on the counter "That's what it is!" Jay went to yell again before Erin stopped him "If you want to talk about it then call it what it is"

Erin "We have talked about it Jay, you know my decision and that's final!"

Jay kicked the chair over "You know what that's just really selfish you know that"

Erin shocked from his words "Excuse me?"

Jay yelling "Okay fine you want me to be the bad guy? Fine I can handle that, we'll call it what you want, but if keeping this pregnancy means I will lose you then we end it"

Erin threw the glass she was holding on the ground causing it to smash "It?! Jay this is our baby, you heard it's heartbeat, your saw it's little fingers and toes"

Jay cutting her off "Stop it, just stop it!"

Erin "No I'm not going to stop it, I want you to think about it okay!"

Jay grabbing Erins hands trying to calm her "Babe we can try again, we can adopt, I don't care I just want you to be okay"

Erin "I will be, you just don't get it I don't want to adopt, this baby is you and it's me don't you get that"

Jay "I don't care if it doesn't look like me, I care if it grows up without a mother and I live my life without the love of my life"

Erin "You are really trying to guilt me into this"

Jay "Hell yes I am and that's exactly what I'm going to do if in the end it keeps you alive"

Erin "You are such a dick"

Jay opened the front door to leave "Then fine I'm a dick"

Couple hours went by and Erin was still sitting on the lounge waiting for Jay to cool off some steam. Finally she heard the door open, Jay slowly walked over and knelt in front of Erin holding back tears "A while back I had a dream that I lost you, and then it just got me thinking about my life without you. I have already done it once and that was when there was still a chance you'd come back and you did. But I can't live if there's no chance or you coming back Erin" Erin wiped a tear away from Jays cheek.

Erin "Jay"

Jay "No seriously Erin, you always talk about how I have your back and how you have mine but I can't have your back on this"

Erin grabbed Jays face with both her hands "Jay you can't think like this, can you just think about all the things we have survived and gotten through. We will survive this" she sighed choking back tears "Even if something did happen to me, you gunna be okay. You can raise this baby, you won't be alone you have so many people that will have your back"

Jay stood up and started pacing "And how am I suppose to feel about the child when it took you away from me"

Erin shrugged "That doesn't worry me because you aren't like that" she walked over to grab his hands "And hey just think about how your gunna be the sexiest single dad at preschool pick up" she chuckled trying to make better of the situation.

Jay "That's not funny, how can you joke about this?"

Erin "Because I'm scared"

Jay bought her in for a hug, holding her tight to his chest "If you want this I'm in, but I need to know we are making the right choice" Erin gasped and grabbed her stomach "That's it I'm calling an ambulance" she grabbed his hand and placed it on her stomach "No, no here. Can you feel that? He or she is kicking" jay took a breath "Yeh I can, wow"

Erin "Jay you are allowed to love this baby, it doesn't mean you love me any less"

Jay "I can't live without you Erin"

Erin "Baby you won't have to, I can tell for a fact everything is going to be okay. We are going to be okay, all three of us. I'm having this baby"

Jay "No we're having this baby" he kissed Erin as he pulled her close.

Erin "I love you"

Jay "I love you too"
