5 years later
Shane stepped off the plane with Grant by his side. At the district. Mikey and Grayson was there working while Maddie and their son Tyler. Once Grant and Shane stepped into the truck and started driving towards the district. Grant was excited,he was seeing his baby girl. Once Shane parked the car Grant and Shane got out and started walking towards Intelligence.
"Halstead,Voight. It's been a long time." said Platt
They both stopped at the desk and talked with Platt.
"I guess it has been a long time. I am trying to surprise Grayson and Kyle and Tyler."
"It's nice to have you home!" Shane and Grant proceeded upstairs and when they got upstairs. No one spoke. Maddie came running out of the break room and into her daddy's arms.
"Daddy!" Grant picked her up and hugged her so tight. "I love you Maddie Camille."
Tyler came running out the room and he saw Shane. "Uncle Shane!"
"Hey bud. I missed you so much."
Shane stopped and looked in the office but he didn't see Erin and Jay.
Grayson walked out of the office talking with Hank.
"SHANE!" She ran into Shane's arms and hugged him so tightly.
"You are back."
"I'm back little sister for good." Shane kissed her head.
Erin and Jay walk upstairs from the cage. Shane couldn't help but laugh.
"What were you two doing?"
"Nothing Shane." Erin's eye went wide as she heard his voice.
"Welcome back Shane."
"Mommy,I'm hungry." shouted Tyler
"Ty,we'll go get some eat in a little bit."
"Is Kyle still at school?"
Jay nodded his head.
"Yeah. So is Brynleigh."
"I'm gonna go surprise him and pick them two up." Shane grabbed his keys and walked to his truck. He drove to the elementary school and pulled into the carpool line. He told the teacher. Kyle Halstead and Brynleigh Ruzek.
"Ruzek and Halstead."
"Is your Mom picking us up?" asked Kyle
"I think so." Mrs. Daniels pointed to his truck and they both looked confused because none of them have seen it. Kyle went to the passengers side and opened the door. He smiled as he climbed into the truck.
"YOU ARE HOME!" He gave him a big hug.
"I'm home little bro. Hey Brynleigh."
"Hi Shane. I can't believe you are back." She gave him a hug. Shane drove to the district.
Kyle went running into the building.
"MOM! DAD! SHANE'S BACK!" He shouted all through the district.
"Bud! Stop yelling. We know."
"But Mom,When did He get back?"
"Today. He wanted to surprise you." Kyle couldn't stop hugging him.
"Alright Mom,I am gonna go feed this little monster. Grant,if you want I can take Maddie with us."
"I think we'll eat in tonight. I wanna spend time with her."
"Alrigh. I'll pick her up for school. Come on Tyler!"
Tyler ran and hugged his uncle.
"Bye Uncle Grant!" He hugged Grant.
"Bye buddy."
Mikey walked up the steps and saw Shane and Grant.
"When did you two get back?"
"Today." Shane hugged Mikey then after Grant hugged his brother.
"Michael,is Daniel still pissed at me?"
Mikey nodded his head.
"Yeah. He is. I saw him yesterday.. He doesn't wanna see you."
"Hi Maddie!" Mikey said
"Hi Uncle Mike."
Tyler saw his dad and ran towards him.
"Hey Buddy. I missed you."
He ran back to Gracie and grabbed her hand. Mikey walked over to her and kissed her.
"Bye Darlin'. I love you."
"Love you too." Grayson walked back out of the district.
"Mommy! Can we get Wendy's?"
"Okay bud just this once."
"Okay Mommy." Grayson hated feeding him fast food but she only did it once in a while. Maddie was staying with her dad until he left again. Shane tried calling Morgan but she didn't answer her phone. He asked Grayson to reach out to her.
"Hey Morgan! Shane wants to get coffee with you."
"Hey Grayson,I can't. I'm busy with med school and Hunter."
"Who's Hunter?"
"My five year old son."
"Whoa. I didn't know you had a son."
"It wasn't planned but me and my boyfriend Peter it was after Shane left."
"Is Shane his dad?"
Morgan didn't speak.
"Yeah. He is. I didn't want to tell him because he was overseas and all. I didn't want him worrying."
"Morgan,He'd want to know.. Can I meet him?"
"You can... But don't tell Shane. He's probably worried about work and all. I don't want him to know and I'd like to keep it that way."
"Okay.. I gotta go.."
The next day
Shane stood in Intelligence.
"Dad,can I talk to you?"
"Yeah.."
"Shane,Are you okay? You seem off.."
"Yeah. I'm fine." Shane snapped
"Whoa. Chill out. What do you need help with?"
"Can you get me into the academy?"
"I can try. Shane,are you okay?"
"Yeah. I'm fine. I just told you that." Shane snapped again then started walking away.
"Shane Michael James Halstead,get your ass back over here. I wasn't finished."
"Oh what. Now you wanna be a dad? You are my uncle. Not my father you will never be my dad. So stop trying to act like it. I just got back from war. Leave me alone."
"I didn't want him to go because of this reason. The military messes you up. It messes you up. I know it. Shane! I'm only trying to help! I was in your position."
Shane stormed out of the district.
"I'm calling Dr. Charles. To meet with him." said Erin
"No. I got it. I got like this after I came back. I was messed up. Badly I had severe PTSD and it was not good. I don't even know how I managed to raise Shane."
Antonio watched as Shane walked out of the district.
"Shane,Come see." Shane ignored him and drove away. He drove to a spot he has visited in 5 years.
"Hey Dad,I'm back and I don't think it's going too well. Maddie got so big and Tyler is so big. I miss you dad I miss you a lot. War was hell. I know Uncle Jay warned me but I became that hero. I saved a lot of people. I tried saving Josh. I really did but I couldn't. I didn't have the strength to pull him out. Dad,I love you."
Maddie sat next to her dad watching Frozen.
"Daddy,Are you going back?" She asked
"Yeah. Baby girl. I am. But don't worry I'm coming home. I promise. I will always come back home."
"Where is Uncle Shane going?"
"To his house." She smiled as Grant started tickling her.
"Daddy Stop!"
He kept on tickling her. Grant smiled as the thought of being home entered his mind.
