''Are you okay?'' Jin asked as Jay was yawning constantly.
''Just a little tired, Natalie was crying last night all night long, me and Erin didn't sleep a lot but it's fine. Thats what you get with becoming a daddy.'' Jay explained and he carried on working. Lately they had not been sleeping a lot but they knew it was a part of being a parent. It was also very cold outside and Natalie slept in bet with them a lot as it was so cold.
Erin walked outside of the station, pushed the stroller up the ramp and looked as Platt looked like her and the stroller.
''Well hello, a special guest.'' She said dryly and left the desk, walking to the stroller and leaned over it, cooing to Natalie and Natalie looked at Platt, her lip started to shake and the young girl started to cry, loudly and Platt walked away again.
''Oh my, Platt. Why did you make this little princess cry?'' Another officer smirked as they walked by and Erin lifted Natalie out of the stroller, giving the little girl her pacifier and Natalie stopped crying.
''Let's go see your dad, huh?'' She said as she carried the girl to the office. Natalie dropped the pacifier and started to make cooing sounds and Erin cooed back as she grabbed the pacifier from her shirt and entered the office, knocking on the door.
''Duckling!'' Jay said as he took Natalie from Erin's arms and kissed her on her forehead, the little girl playing with the board of his shirt and smiling again. Jin stood up and walked towards the parents. Natalie smiled at him as well and Jin took her from Jay, held her for a second.
''Aren't you the cutest little girl?'' He said and looked at the clock. ''Time for lunch.''
Erin took Natalie from him again and she and Jay and Natalie went to the small coffee bar they had lunch more often. Erin had fed Natalie before they left so the little girl was taking a nap in the stroller while Jay and Erin had lunch.
''I put her in bed this morning...so...why do you avoid putting Natalie in bath. I know you are avoiding it, but why?'' She asked and Jay looked at his lunch, too worried.
''I...the alst time I put her in bath I slipped with my mind and she slipped out of my hands, she landed in the water. She could have drowned Erin! I can't do it!''
Erin tilted her head and sighed. ''I tis not your fault, Jay. I t can happen and Natalie is all fine. Don't worry about it.'' She said as she laid her arm around him. She wasn't mad or shocked, it could happen and Natalie was fine and she felt bad that he didn't dare to put his own daughter in bath.
They went back to the station and as Jay had work to do and she had things to do this afternoon she decided to leave Natalie with Voight as Jay would be too distracted with Natalie in his office.
Erin left the stroller with Jay so he could finish his work and took Natalie in her arms and walked up the stairs. She was barely in the office when Natalie was taken from her and Antonio swayed her around in his arms.
''Oh my beautiful god-daughter, what are you looking pretty in that dress! Your mommy must have hit the boys away from you when you came here.'' He laughed and Natalie laughed as she seemed to be really font of Antonio and loved being around him. Ruzek, Burgess and Atwater walked towards Antonio and started to discuss which parent she looked most like.
''She has Jay's mouth and smile.''
''But Erin's eyes.''
''But she is just as handsome as her godfather, even tough we are not related.'' Antonio said as the girl was falling asleep against Antonio's shoulder and suddenly Voight joined them as well.
''You wished you looked like my beautiful granddaughter. Glad she doesn't.'' Voight said as he took Natalie from Antonio, cradling her in his arms and Erin walked to him.
''I have to go somewhere this afternoon, can Natalie stay here for the afternoon?'' Erin asked and Voight nodded. Antonio got the stroller and he laid Natalie in it, so she could sleep in his office and Erin left.
Jay was still working downstairs and he was a little sad that Erin hadn't left Natalie here but she was right, he would be too distracted from work. When he was done with work later that afternoon Ruzek brought the stroller and Natalie downstairs so Jay could take her home. Erin was preparing dinner and he finished it as she was feeding Natalie then. The kitchen was all adapted on his height while he was sitting, so he could finish the cooking.
''Babe, you have to pour it off before mixing it with the sauce.'' Erin said, sitting on the kitchen chair, nursing Natalie and he looked at her.
''Right, sorry.'' He said and Erin laid Natalie in her crib and walked up behind Jay and laid her arms around him.
''Don't be sorry about it. It is nothing to be sorry about.'' She said as she kissed him on the side of his face and he shrugged.
''I wish I know, I wish I could make dinners for you like I did before I was shot. When I could do it without help and forgetting about things. I know it was a lot easier to live together with me back then.''
''Shut up, Jay. You know that is not true.'' She said as she sat down on his lap and kissed him. ''I love you and it is not any different since you were shot. With that I mean not my feelings for you. They are the same.'' She said as she kissed him again.
They had dinner and in the evening they watched TV together, Erin laying in his arms and she got up.
''Time to feed Natalie.'' A little later she walked back to the couch and sat down with Jay again, nursing Natalie and he smiled as he loved his family. Shortly after the put Natalie to bed in her ducky room and laid her in bed.
''Little duckling.'' Jay smiled as they went to their own room. Because of the room they kept calling her little duckling. They watched a little more tv, snuggling on the couch.
''Are you happy?'' Erin asked then as she was worried, because he seemed to be so focussed on the things he couldn't do anymore instead of the things that he still could.
''I never been happier. I love you and Natalie...I am just worried and I hope you understand that.''
''I do, but stop worrying please. That would make me even happier.'' She said and she kissed him again.
