Chapter 4
Erin, Hazel, Laura, Diego, Eva and the entire squad stood in the intelligence garage waiting for Antonio and Jay's arrival. It was 11 at night and Hazel had fallen asleep in Erin's arms. Laura and Erin's faces light up when they see headlights through the windows, next the garage door is opened. Antonio and Jay both stepped out of the car and stared at their families with glassy eyes, they couldn't believe they were finally home.
"Honey, daddy's home" Erin whispers tearfully in Hazel's ear. The young girl slowly opens her eyes and looks around until she sees Jay.
"DADDY!" She screams happily and jumps down from Erin's arms and over to Jay. He laughs as he picks her up and snuggles her close, he never realized how much he missed them until this moment. Erin cried tears of joy as she walks up to Jay, places a hand on the back of his neck and kisses him.
Antonio ran up to Laura, kissed her then held her tight until Diego and Ava interrupted
"Ahem! Dad look it's your kids!" Antonio laughs and pulls away from Laura to embrace his children.
"You guys miss me?" Diego laughs along with Ava and continue to hug as one big happy family.
"Jay, Antonio, feel free to take the rest of the week off. You deserve it" Voight offers. Antonio and Jay exchange a smirk before they both say in unison:
"Nope." Voight should've know better.
"Alright, you two have a good night, get some good sleep. Enjoy the rest of your night. Tomorrow though neither of you are coming in. I mean it" This time Voight commanded it. Both decided 1 day away from intelligence was better than 1 week away from intelligence.

As Erin and Jay cuddle on the couch, Erin tries to come up with the right way to break it to Jay that she was pregnant. She knew they had the privacy, Hazel was fast asleep in her bed, she was just nervous to tell him.
"Hey can I tell you something?" Erin asks quietly. Jay kisses the top of her head
"Anything" He smiles as she sits up and takes a deep breath.
"I'm… I'm pregnant" She had said it almost shamefully and it confused Jay, he couldn't be happier about the pregnancy. Her face seemed less scared when she felt Jay kiss her hand and hug her.
"I can't wait til it's born" He smiles. She kisses him slowly then rests her head back on his chest.
"I love you Jay"
"I love you too Erin"
.X.
She's done this twice before, so why is it so hard to tell him?
"Antonio I have some news for you" She smiles as she brings him a plate of leftover pasta.
"What news would that be?" Antonio says, food partially filling his mouth.
"I'm pregnant…" Antonio nearly spits his food out, but he was happy at the same time. He smiles and stands up to hug Laura and kiss her.
"I love you so much" Antonio whispers in her ear.
"I love you too" She smiles back, holding him closer than ever.
