AN: Sorry for the long wait for an update. I've lost ideas for this fic so if you have any you can let me know in the reviews. I probably wont update for a while because I go on vacation at the end of this week but hopefully I'll get more ideas then! Enjoy!

Erin woke up to the feeling of the sun beaming on her face. She adjusted her eyes to read the numbers that were on the clock. 8:38 am.

She turned over to feel empty cool sheets, clearly Jay had been up already. She thought he had gone to the grocery or back to his apartment to get some clothes. She got off the bed wearing only Jay's old shirt, her feet feeling the coolness of the floor. She made her way to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Closing the door she walked over to the sink and grabbed her toothbrush and toothpaste and looked up at the mirror to see her reflection.

All she saw was a tired version of herself. The look of exhaustion flooded her face, she wasn't all that tired but the past few days have had a toll on her body. While engrossed in her complexion she heard a loud bang followed by a "shit". Quickly she washed her face and ran out to see what was going on.

She made her way to the hall facing the kitchen and saw Jay struggling with the pots in the cupboard and looked on the ground to see the ones that fell causing the noise. Jay felt her presence and looked over to where she was standing.

"I am so sorry Er, I was just trying to make some breakfast for us and I couldn't get the pans out properly, you really need to fix your cupboards." he rambled

Erin laughed and walked over to him to help pick up the pans, "It's okay and I haven't really gotten the time to fix this place up you know." She said trying to defend herself as she picked up a pan and gave it to him to put back in the cupboard.

"Right, sorry. Did I wake you up?"

"No the blinding sun did that for me." she told him. There was a moment of silence that ran through the apartment.

"Maybe after we've moved everything from your apartment we can fix this place up so it's easy for the both of us, what do you say?" she asked him as she moved herself to the coffee machine pouring herself a cup.

"Oh yeah that's today…" Jay said unenthusiastically causing Erin to look up at him.

"Jay, what's wrong? Do you not want to move in?"

"No, oh god no of course I do. I just forgot that we were doing it today, it's all happening so fast."

"I guess it is, but it's a step that I'm excited to take, I want you to be excited too."

"I am Erin. I mean I practically live here, it'll just save me a ride over to get my clothes every week." He said as he put the last pan in the cupboard and closed it, turning around to face Erin who held the cup to warm up her cool hands.

"Mmkay" she said unconvinced as she began walking towards the couch to relax before they got on with their busy day. Jay knew he had to work harder to convince her that he was excited. He really was, he was just scared that she might realize how fast everything is happening and would disappear, again. He sighed and moved over to the couch and plopped himself on it right next to her. She cuddled in him and took the remote to turn on the TV to the blackhawks game that was replaying. The two of them sat and watched for the next few hours.

The drive over to Jay's apartment was fairly quick as there wasn't much traffic on this Saturday afternoon. They both got out of her car and made their way to the elevator. Since Jay already furnished the place it was easy to move out because he only had to take out his belongings and hand over the key to the man who was taking over it.

They rode in the elevator quietly as neither of them had to say anything, Jay was scared that if he spoke about moving he'd scare Erin and that was the last thing he wanted to happen.

As the bell dinged and the elevator doors opened they walked out in sync and made their way to the door, he got out his key and opened it letting Erin in first before he got in. To Erin it was a familiar place, this apartment was where they spent most of the time after work eating chinese takeout, but for some reason it felt so weird o be in it. She took a breath of the scent that lingered throughout the hall and shuddered with all the memories.

"Ready to get started?" Jay asked as he moved into his bedroom.

"Yeah, where do you want to start first?" she asked as she saw a few boxes that needed to be folded open to put Jay's stuff in it.

"I'm going to do my closet and room, and I guess you can do anything that's in the hall." he told her and she nodded.

15 minutes of cleaning the apartment had passed and Jay came out to get a drink from the kitchen while Erin continued to put everything in the boxes.

"Are you excited for dinner at Hanks?" He asked.

"Always am, it'll feel different though. Last time I had a proper dinner at his house was when Justin came back to visit and we all sat down and reminisced about the old memories in that house. Now he wants all of us to bond, which is weird because-" she rambled but got cut off when she saw a picture frame on his TV stand.

It was a picture of Jay and Erin on their first date when he pretended to be her fiance for her friends whom she was intimidated by. That night took a turn when they didn't even spend the night with her friends but instead went for dinner, just the two of them. Of all the times she spent in his apartment she never realized this frame until now.

"Erin what's wrong?" Jay asked, concerned since she stopped mid sentence.

"You kept this picture?" she turned around and asked, holding the frame in her hands facing him so he could see what she was talking about.

Jay squinted to get a better look at the picture in the frame, "Of course I did. That was the night we-"

"We first went out together." Erin finished his sentence and smiled running her hands over the frame and smiling at him.

"Yeah, but it was also the first night we made ourselves official to each other and the night I realized I really loved you for you. I learned more about you that night and I just, I knew that I wasn't just in love with your present self but I was in love with the history that came behind you because everything that happened is what made this beautiful, funny, smart, sexy, badass person." He told her, with every adjective he said he walked closer to her until he reached her body which he wrapped his hands around her waist pulling her close into him.

Erin put one hand on his chest and looked up at him, her eyes glistening against the light, "That was the night I knew that this was going to be a lot more than a fling. I fell in love with you Jay." She told him, he ran the pad of his thumb over her soft cheek and she tippy toed making it easier for her lips to crash into his.

Their moment was cut off by the buzzing that was felt on Jay's thigh because of his phone in his pocket. Breaking apart from her he stuck his hand in his pocket and took out the phone, on the screen read 'Voight' "What could he possibly want now?" he thought to himself. He walked away from Erin as he answered the call.

"Hey, if you're wondering if we're coming over to eat we are, sorry I forgot to call." He rambled

"I'm not calling about the barbecue, we just an impromptu case and we have to head into the station. I need you both to head over now so I can fill you in and get on it…"

All Erin heard were "Mhm's" coming out of Jay's mouth but his face was unreadable.

"Uhh Jay" Voight continued

"Yeah sarg?"

"One of the culprits that we're dealing with is Bunny, Erin's mom. So if you can don't mention it to her as yet until you both reach here, I don't want her to be aggressive."

Jay nodded as if Voight could see him and ended the call. He looked over at Erin who was staring at him with curiosity in her eyes. He knew she was going to hate him for keeping this from her but it was just until they reached the station.

"What happened?"

"They got a lead on this case, he said it's big and he knows you're supposed to be on leave because of your surgery but he needs everyone for this and wants us to go to the station."

Erin was actually really excited to get out of the house and back to work ever since she had her surgery but she tried her best to hide that emotion from Jay and simply nodded to what he said.

"Shoot." She stopped dead in her tracks as she realized she was missing something.

"What's wrong? Are you okay?" Jay asked worried.

"I forgot my badge and gun at my apartment."

"We don't have time to get it, you could use another one from the station we really have to head out."

"Damn, it must be a real bad one." She said looking at him.

"Yeah, it sounded like it was." He said. He couldn't look her in the eyes without her knowing he was lying so he quickly walked in front of her and darted out the door before she could ask any more questions.

Erin knew something was up with the way Jay was acting after he got off the phone with Voight but she didn't want to stir anything up between them so she let it go and followed him out of the apartment. They got into the car and rode in silence and reached the district in less than 10 minutes.

Upon entering the district they were met with Platt who was occupied in her paperwork to acknowledge them so they walked towards the stairs to buzz themselves in when Erin saw someone familiar out of the corner of her eye.

"Bunny?" Erin was filled with utter confusion at the sight of Bunny's arms being held back with cuffs with a patrol man leading her to the interrogation room.

She walked back down the stairs and made her way to Bunny who had a wicked smile on her face.

"What're you doing? Why are you in cuffs? What stupid shit did you do now Bunny?" Erin asked with a harsh tone.

"It's one thing to meet your daughter in a police station under bad circumstances but geez Erin I wouldn't mind if you talked to me with some manners." Bunny spat back.

"Manners?" Erin laughed. "That's the last thing you're going to get out of me."

"Figures since you were raised by a man with the worst manners ever." Bunny rolled her eyes as she was talking about Voight.

This got Erin even more furious causing her to step forward to Bunny almost threatening to hurt her for her words.

"You do not get to talk about Voight that way. Clearly we can see who is the better person over here since you're the one walking around with handcuffs on them and not Voight." Erin fought back with an evil stare at bunny.

"Erin. Upstairs. Now." She heard Voight bark at her. She turned around to see that everyone in the district was now watching her showdown with Bunny including Jay and Voight. She couldn't care anymore about what Bunny does but she felt herself get red at everyone's stare.

"Let's go!" He barked again causing Erin to run up the stairs.

"Voight. Voight!" Erin yelled trying to get his attention. He knew what she was gonna ask next and wasn't in the mood.

"Voight! What is Bunny doing here?" She asked pulling on his shoulder to turn him around and face her.

"Er-" she heard Jay call her and notion for her to sit at her desk so Voight could explain but she was too stubborn to listen.

"No Jay. Voight what is Bunny doing here?" She asked again. He knew she was going to keep asking until he answered her.

With a sigh he answered her question, "We found her on the scene. She was dealing with Noel. Olinksy and I caught her scoring some coke and we know she has details that could help us get closer to Olion so that's why we took her in."

Erin listened to him but couldn't look at him in the eyes. She looked around and saw that no one was surprised at what Bunny was doing there, clearly they all knew about it before she did. Including Jay.

Without saying anything back Erin walked over to her desk after Voight explained everything to her signaling that she was mad, at him, at Jay, at Bunny, and at herself for getting so worked up.

Voight explained more about the case to the entire team and gave them enough information so that they had a proper lead.

"I want everyone suited up and ready to go. This could be a major bust if everything goes right and everyone who leaves right now must come back here, ya understand?" Everyone nodded in sync and Erin got up to go to the break room to gather her emotions before heading out. Jay saw this as an opportunity to make sure she's okay and not angry at him.

"Er-" He called barely a whisper as he walked into the breakroom.

"What." She snapped back.

"I'm sorry you had to see your mom like that…"

"One. She is not my mom, she never was and she will never be. Second, you knew about this and you didn't even tell me when you found out. You left me off guard Jay. Everyone was staring, it became this huge scene. Did it not occur to you to tell your girlfriend, your partner, 'Hey, we have to go in for this case oh and by the way your mom is one of the culprits.'" Letting everything out Erin felt hot tears begin to form in her eyes. She couldn't argue with him anymore so she stormed out of the break room and headed down to suit up.

"Erin!" Jay yelled as she ran out. He stood there dumbfounded. He knew that she would've been mad at him but not like this. He ran his hands through his hair and sighed at what just happened before he too made his way out of the break room.
