Voight came to see Erin a few hours later, Jay had fallen asleep in the chair beside Erin's bed. His head in her hands. He saw Erin was still awake, she just watched her worried boyfriend rest for the first time in hours, since before she was shot. "Hey kiddo." He whispered.
"Hank." She grinned at her father figure, "looks like this ones had a busy day." The pair stared at Jay, who had seemed to move closer to Erin in his sleep. "Well," Grinned Voight, "you've got yourself a keeper haven't you?" Erin nodded in agreement.
The pair sat in a blissful silence for a few moments. They often did this when Erin lived with Voight. After he had saved her from Bunny.
Voight stood and sat on the bottom of Erin's bed. "We've got a few things to talk over. You and Jay can still be partners. Well at least until you are married... Don't get any ideas though..." Erin laughed at Voight, he was never good with the whole relationship topic. That was Camille's field. Voight continued, "no making out in the break room... There's a window there...which is see through... I don't need a whole unit needing their eyes washed out after seeing you and Halstead undressing each other." Erin laughed hysterically, this was so awkward. "Hank, please stop with the details, I get it, PDA's are gross; it won't happen. But you've gotta treat Jay like my boyfriend out of the unit, you won't be his Sargent, or mine. You'll be my dad, so extra protective." The pair laughed again. "Well if he hurts you I can break his scull... As your dad..."
Voight left the hospital quite late. After Erin's hospital room door closed, Jay was immediately wide awake.
"Jesus, I thought he'd never leave!" Said Jay, who had been listening to the entire conversation. " one thing he'll never need to worry about is me hurting you..." He leant over and placed a soft kiss on Erin's lips, "Because you're the one who hurts me" He chuckled playfully. Erin playfully hit him in the ribs, so Jay rolled his eyes and gave Erin the 'I told you so look'.
"You know," Jay started, "Will said that you could be discharged early... But... Only if you have somebody to look after you, who has medical training." Erin smiled at Jay, biting her lip slightly.
"Whatta you suggesting Halstead?"
"Come stay with me for a few weeks, you've said yourself I'm a good housewife. I cook, I clean, I can drive us to work and home. And... Will will be there to make sure your okay. So what do you say? Come live with me for a bit?"
Erin smiled at him, "fine, but just for a bit. I don't want you Halstead boys getting used to having a hot woman around. Will might fancy me."
"Will knows you're off limits"
"Oh am I?"
Jay playfully kissed Erin again, oh how he loved her. These next few weeks were going to be perfect.
