Jay and Erin entered the district in their normal fashion, hand in hand until they were close enough to the building that their partnership came before their relationship. Quickly they dropped hands and were ready to face the day that was about to unfold before them.
"Boy toy! You and dimples need to come over here for a minute." Platt called out to Jay and Erin as soon as they got within yelling distance of her desk. They two glanced at each other trying to figure out what they had done or didn't do to warrant the attention they were receiving.
"Something we can do for you?" Jay said hoping that whatever it was would be quick, Voight needed them upstair to help sort out a gang war that was claiming the lives of many children.
"No I just called you two over so I can bask in the sight of your faces this fine morning. Of course I need you two for something." Platt said in her usual sassy manner. Jay rolled his eyes slightly hoping that Platt did not see him and cause him more greif.
"And that would be…..?" Erin asked knowing that whatever Platt had in mind for them to do was probably going to cause them to miss out on the day ahead of them in intelligence.
"There is a safe heaven kid here, I need you two kids to look after it untiol social services has the chance to get here." Platt said picking up a baby carseat and planted it on her deak. The partners glanced between each other trying to think of anything that could try and get them out of it.
"How long will that be?" Erin asked glancing in the carseat and saw that there inside was a baby probably 6 months old asleep inside.
"Did we not ask anything when this child was dropped off?" Jay said not understanding what could be going through soemone's head when they left their child somewhere.
"It will probably be a couple of hours or so. And for you dective dense, the whole point of a safe heaven is that children can be dropped off in a safe environment without any questions asked. Just take the kid and set your selves up in the breakroom. There should be some baby supplies in the supply closet." Platt said giving the baby over to Erin and went back to work.
"You heard the lady, let's take the baby and run." Erin said taking the child with her towards upstairs in order to inform Voight about what was going on.

"Woah….did you two forget to inform us about something a couple of months ago?" Ruzek said to Jay and ERi8n when he caught sight of the baby between the two of them.
"Shut it Ruzek, can one of you tell Voight that Jay and I have to stay behind today to keep an eye on this little one until social services arrive." Jay said, deep dwn he knew that one day him and Erin would probably have kids one day but to hear someone comment on it made him feel at unease inside.
"I'll tell him, by the way I think that the kid is about to wake up and I sure as hell don't want to hears the cries that occur when that happens. I suggest that you two find somewhere quiet and stay there for a while." Antonio said glanicing at the baby who was squirming in the carseat now.

"So I guess that we can't keep calling this kid "kid" forever." Jay said, gazing down at the child in his arms. He had tried to get Erin to hold him but she did not look the most comfortable with the baby.
"By all means then you can find out." Erin said looking somewhat uncomfortable around the child. It wasn't that she didn't like children because she did, she just had a gut feeling that kids just didn't like her.
"Erin I have seen you around kids before, heck I have seen you around Justin's kid before. What is the big deal right now?" Jay said, he was no baby whisperer but he was doing a whole heck of a lot better than his partner was right now.
"That's different, with Justin's kid I can give him back when I am done with him or he is done with me. But this child only has us right now, there is no giving him back because no one wants him." Erin said trying to get across the point that this child had no one but her and Jay in this moment.
"Come on Erin, all I am asking for is help with one diaper. I will ever do all the dirty work." Jay said grinning at her.

"Well I guess that this little guy is officially a guy." Erin said laughing, after te diaper change Jay had handed the little boy over to Erin. Now that it was over the baby would cry when Erin tried to hand him off to anyone else.
"I think you are right, I just heard Platt say that social services won't be here for him till the morning. She was hoping that one of the night shift guys could take care of him while we go home." Jay said, he hated to leave the baby when it seemed like he had been left by all the people in his life already.
"Jay…I can't leave him. I know that someone will be here for him soon but until then he deserve someone to hold him. I will stay here with him in the break room but I just can't leave him, he deserves someone who will stay." Erin said looking down at this little baby who had barely been in the world and already no one wanted him.
"I had a feeling you woud say that so I set up the break room for the two of us tonight." Jay said smiling at his partner. There were many sides to Ern Lindsay and he had to admit that he loved every one of them.
"You're staying with me?" Erin asked surprised that Jay would be willing to stay up all night to watch this baby with her.
"I can't leave you alone, I'm your backup remember?" Jay said taking his partner by the hand and leading her upstairs.
Should I continue? Or just leave it?
