Erin looked at Jay and couldn't believe what she just heard….was he really proposing to her right now in the hospital. Erin wasn't sure if he was doing it because she just had a baby or because he was close to lose her. Erin wasn't sure but she wasn't sure if this was the right time to do so….
Erin: Jay
Jay: please Erin don't turn me down not after everything
Erin: Jay listen…I would love to marry you but are you doing this because I almost died
Jay: no Erin I have wanted to do this for a while now…I even talked to Hank awhile back
Erin: what
Jay: Erin I was planning on proposing before Abby showed up
Erin: Jay
Jay: So Erin will you marry me
Erin: I would love to
Jay smiled and so did Erin. Jay placed the ring on her finger and leaned over and kissed her. Just then Voight made his presence known from the door
Voight: enough isn't that what got you too in the middle of this
They both broke apart and looked at Voight
Erin: Hi
Voight: so congratulations are in order I take it
Erin: yes and thank you for your blessing
Voight: if I remember correctly I gave Jay a hard time about it
Jay: yea what was it a 10 minute wait for your answer
Flashback:
Jay walks to Voights office door and knocks. Voight waves him in
Jay: Boss you have a minute
Voight: Jay your early come on in
Jay: I wanted to talk to you about something
Voight: sure whats up
Jay: You know that Erin and I have been together for a little more than a year already and we started living together the last few months. Sarg you mean so much to her, your like her father to her. I am here to get your blessing to marry Erin. Boss she is the world to me and I love her more than anything in the world. So I am asking you for your blessing to marry your daughter.
Voight looks at Jay with a blank expression. Jay starts to worry if he made the wrong choice about asking him. Roughly ten minutes goes by and still not a word until Voight sees Jay squirm in his chair.
Voight: Jay for the last four years I have seen you grow into a great detective. I remember placing you with Erin as partners, I was worried that a relationship would start sooner than it did but it didn't. When Erin went off into the deep end you never once stopped worrying about her. You have always had her back. I would be honoured to welcome you into the family. So yes you have my blessing.
Jay let out the breath he was holding and thanked him and walked out.
Voight: I did enjoy you squirm though…anyway congrats to the both of you.
Erin: Hank thank you so much
Voight: Erin your my daughter whether anyone says different you always have been
Erin: thank you
Voight: rest up kiddo I can't stand looking at all these ugly faces anymore
Erin started laughing and watched him walk out of the room after kissing his grandson's head
Erin: so
Jay: so…what
Erin: did they find out who put me in here
Jay: yea Abby did it Erin
Erin: they get her
Jay: yes they did and she somewhat confessed to the explosion
Erin: good so it's over
Jay: its over
Erin: good.
Jay took their son and took him back to the nursery and let Erin sleep. A few days later Kim was released from the hospital and was on medical leave. Erin started her physical therapy on her legs to help her walk again. After 4 months of therapy Erin was fully walking again and was released to go home. Jay had taken the last four months off to be with Erin and to take care of their son. The team did help out when needed but it's been mainly Jay taking care of their son. Erin was medically cleared to go back to work. Jay went to the hospital to pick Erin up and take her home. Jay walked in carrying their little boy knowing that it would make Erin smile.
Jay: Hey babe you ready to go
Erin: yea….there he is my little man
Jay: he missed his mommy
Erin took her son and sat in the wheelchair while Jay pushed her. Jay got her to the car and helped her get into the back seat with their son.
Erin: Jay I want to go to 51 to see our other family
Jay: sure babe…I do believe that they are all on shift right now
They both headed over to 51 when they got there they noticed that their firehouse family was there. Jay helped Erin get out of the car and placed little Henry in her arms and they both walked toward the firehouse. As they got closer the Squad table recognized Jay and Erin and got Kelly's attention.
Cruz: Severide
Severide: what
Cruz: look behind you
Erin: Hey guys
Kelly turned around and saw that both Jay and Erin were behind him smiling
Kelly: your walking
Erin: thanks to you all we wanted to come and say thank you is everyone here
Kelly: yea they are in the common room come on
They all walked into the common room and Severide announced that their favorite people were here they all looked up and saw that Erin was walking.
Casey: it's good to see you walking
Erin: I wanted to come by and say thank you…to each and every one of you. You have no idea what it means to know that because of you I am alive and walking but not only that I got to meet my son. So I would like to introduce to you all Henry Michael. Matt and Kelly I owe you both so much because when I was in the hospital the doctors told me that if it wasn't for you both my baby wouldn't be here today. So Jay and I have been talking and we were wondering if both of you would be Henry's godfather's. However it doesn't mean that everyone isn't part of Henry's life. You all are family to us which means family to Henry
Matt and Kelly both looked at each other and was shocked but smiling
Casey: absolutely
Severide: I would be honoured
Erin: thank you both would you guys like to hold him
Matt and Kelly got to hold him and so did everyone else. After a couple hours 51 got a call so Jay and Erin headed to the district to check in and see their family there. When they got there they were swarmed by everyone wanting to see Henry.
Voight: hold it I want my grandson
Everyone started to laugh but Henry just smiled when Voight picked him up
Adam: how are you doing Erin
Erin: getting there day by day. Doctors cleared me back to work
Kim: of good I need you these men are driving me crazy
Erin: I bet how are you doing Kim
Kim: better knowing that you made it out okay I was worried
Erin: hey if I am not mistaking you were hurt but you were more worried about me
Kim: well yea its what family does
Erin: still you made sure I was taken care of before they would look at you
Kim: well Erin you are family and being up here means the world to me. Watching the two of you being together and having little Henry is everything
Jay: glad you think that Kim. Erin and I were wondering if you would like to be Henry's godmother. See Sarg is his grandfather, Casey and Severide are his godfather's so we would like you to be his godmother
Kim: I would love to
Erin and Jay hung around the district for awhile until Erin got tired so Jay to her and Henry home. As they got home they placed Henry down and Erin went to take a nap. As Jay was cleaning the living room his phone started ringing.
Jay: hello….
