They say love and the badge don't mix-
But Keira Locke and Jay Halstead never cared much for rules.
She's a former Army Ranger with a quiet fire in her chest and scars she doesn't talk about. He's the steady voice in the chaos, her partner in every way that matters. Together, they're the kind of team that turns heads in Chicago's Intelligence Unit.
And now?
They're expecting a baby-and the whole squad knows it.
It's no secret anymore. Not the love. Not the soft glances across the bullpen. Not the way Jay hovers just a little closer on dangerous calls. And definitely not the growing bump beneath Keira's bulletproof vest.
Their life together isn't picture-perfect.
Cases still get messy. The streets are still dangerous. And Keira's past isn't done with her yet.
But through it all, they have each other-and a little life on the way that makes everything worth fighting for.
This isn't just a love story.
It's about loyalty, second chances, and building a family where most people lose theirs.
After Erin left the unit a month ago jay had been stuck with no partner since hank couldn't find a suitable match for the team, that was until a certain name popped up on his list. Not everything goes smoothly though...
