I really am sorry I am just posting it now. But I have rough days behind me and ahead od me. My best friend had an accident and atm she still is at the hospital and I miss her so terribly much. I hope you like this chapter!


Chapter four

It was afternoon and the whole Halstead family could leave the hospital. Aaron was exhausted so Erin carried him to the car, beside her was her husband with Amelia on his arms, she just wanted to be carried and Jay couldn't say no. On the right side to Erin was Voight carrying things from the family of four and on Jays side there was Melanie walking. She believed that she bonded with Erin and Erin had agreed that she could stay, with a few conditions.

No drugs

No alcohol

Cure-few was ten o'clock

Melanie agreed, she never drunk or took drugs. She was a good student but they hadn't has enough money for having enough to eat.

"There's a lot to do Jay!" Erin told him. He looked at her and he nodded, she meant the things with Melanie. They had to have a talk, a long one.

Erin and Jays car where still on the spot he had parked the car the night before. So Voight helped them loading everything in.

"Call me if you need anything!" He said as he left for his own car.

"Will do!" Both Erin and Jay said and got back in strapping the kids to their booster seat.

"I will sit with the kids. You can go to the front." Erin said and climbed in. Everyone got in and after everyone but on their seatbelts Jay drove off home.

After a good ten minutes' drive Jay turned into the driveway of their house. They had bought a house after Erin was pregnant with Amelia and they needed to have more space. The house was near the police department and a few blocks away was Voight's house.

Win to win. Jay slightly remembered the discussion they had.

"Come on Jay, you know it as much as I know it. This place is getting cramped and we have a forty-five minutes' drive to the precinct." Erin almost yelled. Her hormones where driving her crazy and she needed space they didn't had. They were up on the intelligence floor as Erin began talking about the apartment.. "You are right honey. We will look tonight for other places, okay?" he asked her. He knew from experience that it was better to so what she said. She nodded and Voights door opened. "What did I tell you about fights at work? Anyways, a couple blocks away from my house were built some new houses. Maybe you want to look at these." He said. He didn't wait for an answer, just turned around and closed his office door.

Jay parked the car and got out. He opened the door behind the driver's seat and got Aaron out. With one hand he walked around the car and got his daughter out. Erin climbed out from behind and took Amelia from him.

Jay opened the back and wanted to pack the things but he couldn't.

"Melanie, would you mind?" He asked her hoping she would help.

"Yeah, no problem." She said while packing the things and walking to the wooden door.

Jay shut the back and locked the car. With Aaron on his arms he took the key and opened the front door. He let Erin in and the Melanie.

"Home sweet Home" he said closing the door behind him.

"Make yourself at home. We will take the kids upstairs to their room." She said walking up the stair with Jay behind her. "Where should we put Melanie Jay?" She asked, he didn't think this through. She wasn't mad at him, she was mad at Bunny for not telling them. Mad at herself for not realizing that sooner, that she had a sister.

"I don't know. I'm sorry baby, I should have thought about it first" he apologized to her honestly. They arrived upstairs and Erin and Jay entered the kids room.

The house was a two story building. On the second floor where the master bedroom, the office and the bedroom of the kids.

As the kids where laid down they went into their bedroom. Erin straight went for the bath looking into the mirror.

"We could move the office somewhere else." Erin proposed her idea. They didn't use the office much.

"If you are alright with it I won't have a problem." He told her and she nodded.

"Come on baby, let's tell Melanie the good news." she said taking his hands. Together they walked downstairs. Entering the living room they saw Melanie sitting on the couch

"Melanie, you would become our -." Erin began but got interrupted by Melanie.

"Mel, you can call me Mel." she said and stood up. "We have to talk about a few things. But if we both can get of work tomorrow we could bring your belongings from your home and could do some shopping." Erin said and looked at Mel. Jay excused himself and walked into the living room taking the phone from its station. He called Voight like the third time in 24 hours.

"Voight." he answered the phone like he always did.

"Hanks, it's me again. We could use a few days off to settle down with Melanie." He asked. Hoping he would get the day off.

"I will give you the week, if you come to dinner tomorrow." He said, he wanted to get to know Melanie better.

"Just let me ask Erin. – Honey, Hank asks if we would come to dinner tomorrow?" He shouted and heard a yes coming from her.

"We will and thanks Hank!" Jay said and told him their gratitude.

"Seven it is, see you tomorrow." Hank said and hung up. Jay made his way back into the kitchen and found both women sitting on the chairs by the dining table.

"We got the week of. I will just go outside and check the mail." Jay said and waited till Erin agreed. Walking down the front yard to the mail-box.

He opened it and found the newspaper, some bills and an envelope. The envelope was white and the address was written in a calligraphic font.

He didn't know who would write such an envelope/letter. Even if he wanted to open to see what was inside he waited, his wife loved to open envelopes like this.

Back inside he locked the door and made its way into the

Kitchen. He put the newspaper onto the table and put the bills into the box to pay later.

"Here Baby, an envelope." He said and handed her the envelope. She looked giddy to open it, so he just stood in front of her and waited till she opened it.

An "Oh my God." escaped her lips and he tried to lock eyes with her.

"What is it Erin?" he asked her, hoping that she would just tell him.

"Oh my GOD!" She almost screamed, now he was worried. She never was like this.

"Erin? Baby?" He asked her again and now she gave him the answer.

"Kim and Adam, they are getting married!" she told him and he could see the smile that was crossing her face

"That's great. Let me look." He said and she handed him the invitation.

He read it and came to one conclusion.

"Good they set the date for next year." he said. It was in the middle of September and it was good they wanted the Wedding to be in March.

"Oh, sorry Mel. You will meet them all soon enough. Kim and Adam are colleagues and friends. Do you want to make plans with me for your room?" Erin asked her little sister.

"What do you have in mind?" Mel asked, she never was allowed to design her own room. So she thought this would be normal.

"I? I have nothing in mind. You can choose the colors and the furniture." Erin said and saw how her eyes began shining. She knew Bunny, so I wasn't really anything new that Melanie couldn't decorate her own room. If she even had a room for herself.

"Let's get upstairs. But I have one questions. Do you want to live with us?" She asked and let Mel think about it.

After some minutes of silence she told them her answer. "If you wouldn't mind Yes, I would really like to live with you." She said with tears glistening in her eyes.

"We don't mind at all, right Jay?" She asked him and he nodded in agreement.

"Baby, could you call our lawyer, tell him that we want to fill sole custody for Melanie." she said and took Melanie upstairs to plan her new room.

They entered the office room and Erin just took her sister in an Embrace. Everything will be okay Mel. We try everything that you can stay with us." She said and let Mel cry for a little bit. She was glad that the kids were on their nap.

"Thank you Erin!" she said between sobs.


Okay, there's the possibility that Hank and Erin are OOC in this story and maybe also Jay. But that's what I think could be a future for Chicago P.D

Next: There will be an emergency that will be pure horror for one member of IU.
