Summary
Since I will always be a huge #Linstead fan, I decided to write a fanfiction about how many fans wish Season 4 would have ended. Keep in mind when reading, the whole Abby incident never happened, so they never broke up during Season 4 and Jay never moved out.
Erin and Jay One-shots
Erin's POV
As I stood there looking out over the beautiful Chicago skyline trying to think, Hank's words "Don't look back," kept repeating throughout my mind. I had been offered a job in New York earlier that day, but was I ready to make that big of a jump? The job I could have would be in the FBI's counter-terrorism unit, and it would be one of the dream jobs. Could I just leave the only city I had ever really known, and leave and hurt all the people I know in the process. If I leave I will always look back and wonder what could have happened if I had stayed, but would staying really be the best thing for me? My phone soon started ringing, and when I heard the song "Close Your Eyes" playing, I knew that I had my answer. Jay Halstead would always be my answer to everything I ever asked myself.
Jay's POV
I was sitting with a bunch of the guys at Molly's drinking some beer, and goodness I was so nervous. Nervous about what I was about to ask Erin when she got there, nervous about what her answer would be, and nervous about what our future could hold. I just wanted to pop the question already, because I knew I was deeply and madly in love with her. I was in love with Erin Renae Lindsay and nothing could ever change that. When I realized that she should have been there by now, I walked outside and dialed her number and soon got no answer. I became a little worried, but walked back in the bar and thought that I would wait a couple of more minutes. I tried hard to not think about what could have happened and kept telling myself she would be there in a few minutes.
Erin's POV
As I stepped into Molly's and I spotted Jay sitting with the guys looking all nervous, I knew that I had made the right decision to stay. I walked up to the table and Jay quickly pulled out a seat for me to sit in.
"Sorry that I am," I said.
"It's fine, you're not late" Jay quickly cut me off.
As soon as I saw those beautiful baby blue eyes staring into mine, every moment we had ever shared together came flooding into the back of my mind and my world became frozen in time. I stated to wonder how I could ever picture my life without this wonderful man that I love so much. When my world finally started spinning again a few minutes later, I realized that Jay was down on one knee staring up into my eyes. I began to immediately figure out what was going on, and tears started streaming down my face.
"Erin?" Jay said.
I replied, "Yes?"
Jay then starts to speak, saying "Erin Renae Lindsay, we have been through a whole hell of a lot together, and I do not want to spend any part of my life without you. We may have started out as partners, but I have fallen deeply and madly in love with you. Will you please Marry Me?"
"Yes, Yes, of course I will marry you, Jay Ethan Halstead." – I cried out, still surprised that I was now engaged to the man of my dreams.
"Good, because I really don't know what I would have done if you said no." He replied, with a small chuckle.
The next thing I know people are hugging us and congratulating us. My entire life I had hoped for someone who loved me as much as I love them, to walk into my life and sweep me off my feet. Jay Halstead is the guy who did that, and I was so in love with him. When we first became partners, neither of us knew that this was where we would end up, but both of us could never be happier. I had never in my life felt this way toward another guy, and now I know why. I was in love, and could not wait to start the next chapter of our lives together and spend forever with the man standing in front of me. We may not have the perfect relationship without fighting or arguing, but it was perfect enough for us.
