It had been a couple weeks since Alvins funeral, things weren't the same but everyone just tried keeping their heads up. Jay and Erin had barely spoken two words to each other besides things associated with the kids. She was pissed up him, throughout the whole process of finding Al's killer and Erin caught the backlash. Yes he blamed Voight as did everyone but the thing is everyone knew how Voight and Olinsky did things, together. This time it just ended badly.

Jay didn't exactly know how to feel about knowing what Erin did, in the back of his head he always knew but now that he knows it for sure he doesn't know how to look at her, he didn't think she would risk absolutely everything for him. Obviously now having a family it's harder, she never thought this would happen, not for a while anyway. It nearly got taken away but it didn't so Jay needed to let it go.

...................................

Erin was with Kim and the kids at a cafe, she was holding onto Maisie while they were both watching the other two play in the playroom.

"So when you going to pop out another one?" Kim said smiling at Erin.

"Not for a while there mumma, especially considering Jay and I aren't even talking" Erin rolled her eyes and continued to stroke Maisie's chubby cheeks.

"So he is still pissed then? I thought he'd calmed down?"

"Yeah maybe at work, but at home he still thinks I'm an idiot. I don't even really think he's annoyed or pissed at Hank anymore. He just can't wrap his head around why I would risk everything for Hank, even after everything I have told him."

Kim sighed "I'm sure you's will be fine, I mean it's you and Jay. You's can get through anything."

"I really hope so. But anyway, how's Adam going? I know it hit him pretty hard, Al was his mentor."

Kim sipped her coffee "Doing as well as everyone I guess, Al was such a big part of our family I think it's going to take a little while for things to get back to normal."

Erin forced a smile "Your not wrong."

...........................

The boys were at the gym, lifting weights as they did nearly every morning before work but the boys had never seen Jay like this before.

"Man you need to calm down" Adam said as he was spotting Jay.

Jay lifted the weight and let it rest on the bench press "Erin is so fucking pissed at me."

Adam sat on the bench next to him while Atwater stood with a towel wrapped around his neck "I think times are tense with everyone at the moment man, losing Al and finding someone to blame has been on everyone's mind."

"Yeah but I went off at Erin, I mean I have never been so angry at someone and I shouldn't have taken it out on her, I mean what she done was stupid and reckless but it was on Voight not her."
