Hello! I asked on Tumblr if anyone would be interested in reading a linstead baby fic. Answer: yes. So this is the first chapter... hope you guys like it. Let me know what you think.
Erin stretched out on her couch, lightly nudging her feet against Jay's leg, "You alright?"
Jay moved his eyes from the television, looked over and smiled, "Yeah," he squeezed her left foot gently, massaging her arch with his thumb, "why?"
"You're like zoning out," Erin sat up a little, taking one of the throw pillows and putting it behind her, "what's on your mind?"
"Promise me, you won't laugh," Jay grinned.
Erin raised an eyebrow, "This must be juicy." Jay countered with a matched raised eyebrow. Erin rolled her eyes and pressed her right foot into her boyfriend's thigh, "Alright, I promise I won't laugh."
Jay grabbed both her feet in his hand, moving them from his lap as he stood up.
"Where are you going?" Erin asked as she watched her shirtless boyfriend walk around her couch to the kitchen counter. Even more confused as to why he was rummaging through her cabinets, "I don't have anymore beer, if that's what you're looking for." She pressed rewind on her remote, going to the opening credits of Grey's Anatomy, knowing that the both of them weren't paying attention to it.
"Not looking for beer..." Jay said distractedly. He shut one drawer and moved to the next.
"Then why don't you tell me what you are looking for, then maybe I could tell you if I have it or not." Erin looked into the kitchen, only able to see Jay's back towards her.
"You have candles..." Jay examined what was once a granola bar, now smashed, before shaking his head and laughing at how Erin was such a pack rat and tossed the bar into the trash, "so I know you have to have to have a match or lighter somewhere." He picked through her junk drawer, taking out sticky notes, pens; that were probably dead, and stamps. "Found a lighter!"
Erin stood up and grabbed the remote, pausing the tv and dropped it back down on the piles of blanket that were scattered on the couch. "Halstead, what the hell do you need a lighter for-"
Jay stood with the kitchen lights completely turned off. On the counter was a chocolate cupcake with a lit candle stuck in it. "Happy birthday, Er."
Erin lips slowly turned upward into a smile. She brought her hands to her hips, "Jay, we said we aren't celebrating my birthday."
Jay shook his head, his face glowing from the candle, "Correction, you said you aren't celebrating. Last time I checked, I wasn't you."
Erin dropped her hands from her hips and walked over to her boyfriend, groaning as she bumped her hip into the corner of the counter. Jay grasped her waist and steadied her. Erin ran her hands up and down his bare, muscular, arms. Standing on tiptoes, she pressed her lips gently to his.
After pulling away and enjoying a few seconds of staring into to each other's eyes, Jay brushed his thumbs to Erin's waist, her skin exposed as her camisole rode up, "So what do you say, blow out the candle, make a wish?" Jay inched the plate closer to his girlfriend, tempting her with her favorite dessert.
Rolling her eyes, she picked up the plate and closed her eyes, making a wish before blowing out the candle, leaving her and Jay in darkness.
Jay leaned down, let the warmth of Erin's breath guide him to her mouth. Just as his lips touched hers, Erin pulled away and whispered, "I'm pregnant."
I know this was short but I'm just dipping my toe in the water. Feedback will really help me continue and motivate me, so please review and let me know if you want to see more. I'm open to ideas and suggestions.
