A/N: Hey guys, here's the second one shot of this series! I hope you guys like it, don't forget to leave a review! Thanks :)

Mother's Day

"Daddy, where are we going?" A very curious Courtney Halstead asked her father. They'd been on the road since he picked her up from school almost an hour prior.

Jay glanced at his rearview mirror, looking back at her, "Do you know what day it is on Sunday?" he asked her.

Courtney's eyes went wide, "Yes! It's Mother's Day. Today at school we made presents," she said excitedly.

"Oh yeah? What did you make for mommy?"

"I made her a special oven mitt that has my handprint on it and it says 'Always lending you a helping hand'," she explained. Courtney was happy that this year she'd get to spend Mother's Day with both of her parents. Her friends were always talking about the things they did with their fathers on Mother's Day, and she'd never been able to since he didn't live with them. Ever since he moved back home, she could tell how much happier her mom was. She never heard her mom crying in the middle of the night anymore, and that was because of her dad. "So, where are we going?" she asked again after a few minutes.

"Well, we are going to surprise mommy with a trip to my cabin up in Wisconsin for the weekend. We are going up there to set everything up," he simply told her.

"A cabin? Is it in the woods? Are there bugs there? You know I don't like bugs, daddy," she warned.

Jay chuckled, thinking back to when he first told Erin about Wisconsin, and her dislike of mosquitos. "Don't worry, the bugs will only be outside, and we'll bring repellant."

Courtney was content with that answer and stared out the window before eventually drifting off to sleep. About an hour later, Jay was shaking his daughter awake. He had already brought in all of the bags he'd need that contained groceries, cleaning supplies, etc.; the only thing left in the car was Courtney.

She jolted awake a few moments later and took in her surroundings. After composing herself, she hopped out of the car and skipped into the large cabin, excitement on her face; Jay following shortly behind. "So what do we have to set up, daddy?" she asked once they were both inside.

Jay looked around, "Well, first we have to put the groceries away so that we can make breakfast for mommy on Sunday morning. Then, we'll need to clean up a little. Don't you think it's dusty in here?" he asked with a laugh.

Courtney giggled, "Maybe a little bit," she said. "C'mon, let's go! If we don't get home soon mom will get worried," she stated matter of factly.

Jay nodded in response, "Smart thinking, little one."

The two spent the rest of the afternoon cleaning the house. They left around 6:30 that night and were on there way home when Erin called, "Hey babe, what's goin' on?" Jay asked her through the phone.

"I just got home from work, where are you guys?" Erin asked.

"We had to run out for a bit," Jay looked at the time, they'd been on the road for about an hour and a half, "we'll be home in about a half hour or so we'll bring dinner. See you then, love you."

"Yeah, love you too." she replied. As she ended the call she narrowed her eyes in suspicion, wondering where they were and what they were doing.

Just over a half hour after they ended their phone call, Jay walked through the door carrying some Chinese take-out, Courtney hot on his heels. He'd reminded her not to tell Erin about the cabin before they got out of the car. He could only hope his 7 year old could keep the secret.

Erin padded her way out from the living room, greeting them in the kitchen, "So, where were you guys?" she asked, hopping up on the counter next to where Jay was unpacking the take-out.

Jay shrugged, "We just had to run to the store for a few things, then we stopped and got dinner," he said, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "How was work after I left today? Anything big happen?"

She picked at the plate Jay was preparing for Courtney, "Not really, I guess Ruzek may have gotten a lead, but we need a warrant before anything can be done about it, so Voight sent us home."

Jay swatted her hand away from their daughter plate, "Stealing from a 1st grader are we now?" he teased.

"I'm starving. Excuse me if my boyfriend was missing when I came home and couldn't eat anything."

"Courtney, come and get your dinner!" Jay called out. Courtney had rushed up the stairs after saying hello to her mom to hide the present she'd made at school that day.

The three ate dinner, and Jay was thankful when they got through it without Courtney slipping up about the surprise.

While Erin did the dishes, Jay was tucking Courtney into bed, "Remember I'm going to wake you really early tomorrow so we can get on the road, okay?"

Courtney nodded with droopy eyes, already falling asleep after spending a majority of the day in the car, "Okay daddy. G'night. I love you."

Kissing her forehead, Jay said, "I love you too, sweets."

As Erin attempted to hit the snooze button on her alarm clock, she felt a pair of warm lips trailing kisses on her neck. Her eyes stayed closed as she enjoyed the pleasure, "Mmm," she moaned.

"Good morning, beautiful. Ready to get up?" she heard Jay husk into her ear.

She nuzzled her bottom half closer into his crotch, feeling the pressure of an acute erection on her ass. "Five more minutes," she mumbled.

Jay had woken up over an hour ago and packed a bag for each of them, and got Courtney up and ready. Pulling Erin's body even closer to his he whispered into her ear, "Nope, we gotta get up now."

Erin rolled away from him, then turned to face him, "Why? We don't need to be at work for another hour," she groaned.

Jay grinned, running his fingers up and down her side, "We're not going to work today," he said before capturing her lips.

"What? Why not?" Erin asked through the kiss.

With a groan and a huff, Jay flopped onto his back, "It's a surprise. Now, stop being so difficult and get out of bed," he said before hopping out of bed and leaving the room.

Erin propped herself up with her elbows and watched him leave the room, confusion spread across her face.

After she was ready, Erin walked downstairs and found Jay and Courtney sitting on the couch, watching some Saturday morning cartoons. She smiled at the scene in front of her, Courtney sat on Jay's lap; pointing and laughing every so often at the television.

"You force me to get up and you're down here watching TV? What's the rush?" she asked, making her way towards her two favorite people.

"Mama! You're awake! Ready to go?" Courtney piped up, jumping up from her father's lap and already running to the front door.

Jay stood from his seat and walked past Erin, following Courtney, "Yeah, mommy, let's get going," he buzzed into her ear.

For the second time that day, Erin furrowed her brows as she watched Jay walk away. Why was he acting so weird? she thought to herself. She scoffed, grabbed her gun and badge, and locked up the house on her way out, finding Courtney and Jay already in the car.

After an hour on the road, Erin was getting frustrated being so out of the know, "So, you ever gonna tell me where you're taking me, Halstead? Or am I gonna have to report a kidnapping?" she said with a laugh.

Jay laughed softly, "You'll find out soon enough," he said, taking one hand off the wheel and grasping one of hers.

She turned towards Courtney, who was playing on their iPad in the backseat, "What about you, Court? Do you know where we're going?" she asked, her eyes begging for an answer she could work with.

Courtney nodded, she took a quick glance at her father who shot her a warning look before Erin asked, "And where might that be, babe?"

She sealed her lips together, shaking her head, "Uh-uh, mommy, daddy told me I'm not allowed to say," she said.

Giving up, Erin turned around just in time to see the large 'Welcome to Wisconsin' sign on the side of the road, "Seriously? You're taking me to Wisconsin?" she sneered, "I thought you gave up on this years ago."

Jay turned his head, facing her, "You thought I gave up on our retirement plans? Never, even when we were apart I knew someday we'd bring Courtney here."

Erin opened her mouth like she was going to say something, but never did. She quietly reattached their hands and looked out the window onto the open road ahead, smile on her face.

When they arrived to the cabin a while later, Erin was shocked at how beautiful it actually was. In her head, she'd always imagined a small, one studio-like cabin. She didn't expect the large, 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom log cabin that was just as nice, if not nicer, than their home in Chicago. The kitchen and bathrooms looked like they had been recently renovated, at least within the last 10 or so years. All of the furniture seemed as if it'd never even been used. Erin looked around the cabin in awe, taking in all of the details.

She felt Jay's strong arms wrap around her small figure, "So," he kissed her shoulder, "what do you think?" he asked.

Erin turned in his embrace, "It's more beautiful than I'd ever imagined. Thank you for bringing me here," she said, genuinely grateful.

"You're the only person I've ever even thought of bringing here. I'm glad you like it," he told her, leaning down to press his lips against hers.

As Erin stood on her toes to gain better access, and things become more heated, they were interrupted when their giddy 7 year old pranced down the stairs, "Mommy! Daddy! I put my swimsuit on can we go swimming in the lake?" she asked.

Both Erin and Jay laughed, "Sure baby, but it's probably gonna be cold. It's still spring," Jay said.

"That's okay!" she quickly exclaimed, running out of the house.

Erin followed her outside and Jay went to fetch her a towel, knowing full well she'd want to get out the second she put her little body into the water.

Courtney ran down the dock and jumped into the water, screeching when she hit the freezing water. Her teeth were jittering and her lips were turning blue, but she refused to get out of the water. "It's not that cold, mama. Get in with me!" she begged, but Erin only shook her head. "How 'bout you dad?"

"I think I'm gonna stay dry for now, but thanks for the offer," he chuckled.

"Okay, but you guys are missing out," she said, her voice shaking from her current body temperature.

Her parents sat on the dock, Erin cuddled into Jay's side, they'd share a kiss every once in a while, but for the most part just watched their daughter enjoy herself. After about 20 minutes of watching their daughter freeze her little tushy off, Jay called out to her, "Hey Court, how about we go back to the house and get in the hot tub, warm up a little bit?"

As quickly as she had gotten in the water, she jumped out in excitement, "Yes! Why didn't you say that before, silly?" she asked as she approached Jay and Erin, wrapping the towel around her tiny body.

Jay carried her back to the house, and went out to the back deck to take the top off the hot tub and get it started, Courtney watched from a nearby chair. Erin had gone upstairs to change into a bathing suit.

When she came down, and exited the glass door, Jay had to suck in a breath. She was so beautiful, and of the three suits he'd packed for her, she was wearing his favorite. "Damn," he whispered.

Erin walked towards him and wrapped her arms around his neck, matting their lips together, "How did I ever let you go?" he whispered once they parted, their foreheads resting against each other.

Closing her eyes, Erin let out a breath, "Don't. We're passed that, don't bring it up now, kay?" she begged, finally looking into his eyes.

"Can I get in now?" Courtney's voice tore them away from each other. She had been watching the water ever since her mother came down.

Erin cleared her throat, "Yeah baby, you can get in. Go change, Jay." she gave him a quick peck and joined Courtney in the hot tub.

After Jay changed into a pair of swimming trunks, he walked outside and noticed that Erin was alone in the hot tub. Climbing in beside her asked where Courtney went.

"I told her she could bring some of her bath toys in here, she went to go get them," she said, running her fingers through the warm water.

Jay took hold of her hand, grabbing her attention, "I'm sorry about what I said, you know I didn't mean anything by it," he told her.

Erin shook her head, "I know that. I just like to pretend the past four years never happened. It's easier that way. I love you, and it hurts when I think about how long we were apart. Can we just - not talk about it anymore, we need to move forward," she said.

Jay couldn't find the words to reply in the right way, so instead, he moved his hand to her neck, and gave her a passionate kiss, "Okay," he said after removing his lips. From the corner of his eye, he saw Courtney coming around the corner. Right before she hopped back into the water, Jay whispered into Erin's ear, "I can't wait 'till she goes to bed and I can have you, naked, in this very hot tub."

Erin blushed, "Shut up," she said, whacking him on the chest.

They stayed in their bathing suits for the rest of the day, though Erin threw on one of Jay's t-shirts over hers. Jay grilled the three of them steaks for dinner, along with baked potatoes, and per Courtney's request - Mac & Cheese.

"Alright time for bed, Court," Jay said, scooping her up into his arms, causing a fit of giggles to escape her lips.

"But daddy I didn't take a bath!" she reasoned; she'd do anything to get to stay up a little bit later.

Erin walked by then, tousling Courtney's hair with her fingers, "I guess you'll have to take one tomorrow then," she said.

"Ugh, fine then," Courtney groaned. While she fought it, Courtney was asleep shortly after her head had hit the pillow, leaving Jay and Erin completely alone.

Walking downstairs, Jay found Erin cuddled up on the couch, beer in one hand, some novel in the other. He approached her and tore the items out of her hands before lying on top of her. After making out for a bit, Jay said, "So, about that hot tub…" he trailed off.

Erin reached for the string on his trunks, untying the neat bow, then pulled the t-shirt off of her body, smirking.

Jay did his signature eyebrow raise and threw Erin over his shoulder, lightly smacking her barely covered ass.

The second they were in the hot tub, Erin's top had already been tossed somewhere on the deck and she was straddling Jay, kissing him as if her life was on the line. One of Jay's hands was in her hair, the other massaging her breast. Erin's hands traveled up and down his muscular body. Jay lifted his hips to allow Erin to slide them down his legs, which prompted her to follow. As soon as Erin's bikini bottoms were gone, Jay was inside of her. She let out a slight gasp as she adjusted to him, before thrusting with him. Once they both reached an orgasm, they dried themselves off and went upstairs, with no plans of going to sleep anytime soon.

Jay woke up the next morning much earlier than Erin, and went to wake up Courtney so they could prepare breakfast for Erin.

The pair made pancakes, sausage, and eggs. Courtney put together a yogurt parfait that she was extremely proud of, it consisted of strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Jay's original plan was to bring Erin down to the kitchen, but after countless minutes of begging on Courtney's part, he agreed to breakfast in bed.

"Wait!" Courtney called just as Jay was about to enter the master bedroom. She swiftly ran to the bedroom she'd slept in and went into her bag, pulling out the present she made for Erin. "I almost forgot mommy's present," she said, returning to the hallway.

She bursted into the bedroom and jumped on to the bed, "Happy Mother's Day, mama!" she screamed, hopping right on top of Erin and handing her the oven mitt. Erin was glad she'd decided to put a shirt on the night before, considering most of the time she and Jay never had the energy to redress after sex.

A smile took over Erin's face, "Thank you, sweetie. What's this?" she asked.

Courtney moved off of Erin, now cuddling into her side, "It's for cooking! We made them at school on Friday," she explained.

"It's perfect, thank you so much," Erin said kissing the top of her daughter's head.

"Me and daddy also made you breakfast," Courtney beamed.

"I see," Erin said, smiling at Jay who was still holding the tray of food. "thank you guys. I love you."

The three dug into the homemade breakfast Jay and Courtney made and spent the rest of the day swimming and exploring the nearby woods.

P.S- the one shots can be requested for any point in time (i.e before they got back together). I think the next one I will write will be the official fight that lead to their final breakup before the story, so keep an eye out for an update.
