Shane smiled then started walking on the crutches up the door and into the house.

"SHANE!" Alex shouted

"Where's my favorite little sister?" Alex laughed and Shane pulled her in for a hug.

"I missed you a lot. Mommy told me that you woke up just for me."

"Of course I did kid. I couldn't leave you."

"Dad! Where's Mom?" Quinn asked

Jeff sat at the kitchen table reading the news on his phone. "Quinn, come sit down. I gotta tell you something.."

Quinn walked over and sat next to her dad. "Dad is she not coming back? That's the same face you had when Grandpa died. When you told me Grandma isn't coming home.."

"Baby girl.. your mother left us, for another man. I don't know why she left… I'm sorry Quinn.."

"Dad it's just you and I?" Jeff nodded his head

"Yeah. I guess it's just you and I kid.."

"Daddy I'm glad you stayed.."

"I'm not going anywhere." Jeff walked over to his daughter and pulled her in a hug.

"Mom?" Shane said

"He called me mom." Erin said

"You've been more of a mom to me in the past few months than anyone.."

"You saved my daughter."

"I saved her because she saved me. I couldn't repay her more.."

"Jay I'm glad you're back.. It's like we are finally a family again.. All four of us.. Soon to be five.."

"Daddy, mommy is having a baby.. Why is she having a baby?"

"Because your mom and I love each other very much. We decided we wanted another one of you.." Alex looked at Erin and rolled her eyes

"Well I don't want another me. I don't want a baby. But where do babies come from?"

Jay started laughing as he looked over towards Shane. "Babies come from. Um. I don't know.."

"Daddy you know. You and Mommy know everything. Shane can you tell me?"

"When mom and dad love each other. They wanna have a baby.. So." Shane laughed

"Mommy, can you tell me?"

"No… Ask your uncle's next time you see them.."

"Alright. Mommy." Alex ran into her room and started playing with her dolls.

"That was a close one. Shane you're a fucking idiot." Jay smacked him upside the head.

"I didn't know what to say. It looked like you didn't either.."

"Oh shut up Shane."

"Alright you two shut up." Erin said before she walked away smiling.

"Mommy!" Alex shouted

"Yes." Erin said as she turned around once more

"Can I have some ice cream? Daddy said I could.." Erin furrowed her eyes at Jay then looked at her daughter.

"It's a bit late. I don't think you should. Tomorrow you can." The phone rang throughout the house the ringing could be heard. Jay ran for the phone, and answered it/

"Hello?"

"Jay give the phone to Erin. It's urgent." Hank said

"He wants to talk to you." Jay said as he handed the phone to his girl. Jay stood back and watched as Erin's smile turned into a frown.. His smile went to a frown, when his girl was sad he became sad. He didn't know what was happening but god knows he couldn't have been good.

He watched as she hung up the phone, nearly dropping it out of the palm of her hand. She nearly falling as well. Jay rushed towards her and caught her fault before she fell and hurt herself and their unborn baby.

"What's wrong Erin?" Jay asked

"I I don't know. He said that Daniel had woken up. But he didn't remember anyone in the room. Hank was scared. I'm scared. I I have to go to the hospital. Jay watch Lex. I I need to go." She stuttered. Jay somehow knew what she was saying. Jay let go and nodded his head then he rushed for his keys.

"I'm coming with. Shane watch your little sister. We gotta go." Shane nodded his head.

"Jay you don't have to." Once they opened the door, a woman stood at the doorstep. A woman Erin hadn't seen in years. She stood scared but once Jay came to the door her worries disappeared.

"Erin?" She said

"Bunny? Mom.. Wh what are you doing here?" Erin asked

"I wanted to see my granddaughter." Erin's eyes widened

"No. Go Mom. I'm not letting you see her. Jay." Jay ran into the back of the house and saw Shane playing dolls with Alex.

"Keep her in here until I text you." Shane nodded his head

"I'm sorry Erin. I don't understand why you won't let me see her. I haven't done you anything."

"Mom, that's bull fucking shit. I I have to get to the hospital. My nephew is in there." Erin walked out of the house

"Erin let me in, let me see her. She's my granddaughter." Erin rolled her eyes

"She's nothing to you. You're nothing to my wife. You got it? Don't come back or I'll have you arrested." Jay spat

"I'm her mother I should be allowed to see my daughter. You're just another toy for sex. I can't believe you married her."

"Jay.." Erin said softly as she was on the other side of the truck.

"I married her because she was broken because of you. She needed saving because of you. I don't want to hear another word out of your mouth on my property. Get off before I arrest you." Jay said

"I'll go Erin. Have fun using him like you used Hank." Erin scoffed then got into the car. Jay walked back up to the door and locked it, then sent his son a text saying make sure the alarm was on.

"Erin what was she talking about?" Jay asked

"You don't wanna know.." Jay nodded his head

"Erin when you're ready to tell me. Tell me. I can carry this too, we're in this together. You're mine I promised to protect you. I'm gonna do it till I die."

"Thank you for saying you married me. I never had someone do that."

"Shane's mom.. We never got married, we figured we'd just be a couple and see how it worked out. I miss her but this is where I ended up.. I wouldn't trade you,Alex or Shane for the world. You three mean the world to me. I never felt this way about anybody until I met you. Amelia she was something special, she spoke her mind and the truth. She was feisty. I loved her, a lot.. I wanted to marry her but I lost her before I could.. You probably don't wanna hear me talk about her." Jay said as he turned his head towards Erin whose eyes were glistening and she was smiling at the way Jay was talking.

"Jay sometimes it's a good thing to talk about your girlfriend.. I know it might be awkward but she died.. Jay you don't have to be afraid.. We're in this together."

"I love you you know." Erin smiled

"I know." Jay smiled "Did you ever find out what we're having?" Jay asked

"Uh yeah.. I found out a couple of days ago.. We are having a boy.." Erin smiled

"A boy? I was hoping for a girl.. I'd love another Lex." Erin laughed

"That kid when she was a baby. She was terrible. All she did was scream Unless her Uncle Kevin was holding her." Erin laughed

"That kid's got me wrapped around her finger."

"But a boy.. Shouldn't we start thinking of names?" Jay asked

"Yeah.. I like the name Jensen.. And Jay.." Erin said

"Jensen Jay Matthew Halstead.. I like the sound of that.. Maybe JJ for short.." Jay smiled as he turned into the parking lot of the hospital.

"I do too.. I guess it is settled.. Jensen Jay.." She placed her hand on her stomach and smield

"I can't wait to meet you Jensen Jay.."

"Shane why aren't you with Quinn?" Shane laughed

"Because I'm here with you silly. I wouldn't trade this for the world.." Shane said

"I think you like Quinn." Alex said

"No. I don't."

"You're a horrible liar Shane." Alex laughed

"I am not." Shane blushed then picked up Alex and sat her on his lap.

"Shane That's okay if you like someone. I won't tell Mom and Dad." Alex smiled

"What did I do to deserve a little sister like you?"

"Nothing. I'm here to stay. Even if I will aggravated the living hell out of you." She laughed

"Can we fix a pizza or something?"

"Yeah. I'll call for one." The door bell rang and Shane got up and ran to the door. He didn't ask he just opened it. Quinn was standing on the other side, smiling.

"Hey." Shane said

"I'm going out of town for a couple of weeks with my dad. We are going to Canada.. I just wanted to say bye. I'll see you when I get back." Quinn got up on her tippey toes then gave him a kiss on the cheek with Alex standing behind them watching with her arms crossed and giving her a dirty look like that's my brother.

Shane backed his face up then grabbed her cheeks and gave her a kiss. "Have fun. You deserve it. I'll be busy with this one. Who doesn't seem to like this idea.. But I do like you. Like a lot. I like you a lot Quinn.."

"I do too Shane.. I'll see you." Quinn turned around and walked back to the car, and got in. Alex was standing right behind Shane with her arms crossed.

"I don't want you to like her. She's gonna steal you away from me." Shane bent down and picked her up.

"Nobody will ever steal you away from me kid."

A couple of months had passed, the two kids were doing great. Jordan had gotten out healed and he was better than ever. Daniel had started getting his memory back. Everything started to get back to normal. The baby was due in a couple of weeks and the family was doing well. Quinn had come back.

"Hey Quinn! Would you wanna go out for ice cream tonight? We haven't hung out since you came back." Shane asked walking up to his girlfriend in second period.

"I'm busy. My dad and I are doing some things at the firehouse then going out for dinner. Maybe tomorrow?" He nodded his head

"Sure Quinn." Shane leaned over and kissed her.

Quinn walked away with her friends and Shane walked away with his. .

"She's been acting weird." Shane said

"Yeah. She has. I wonder why." Daniel said

"Maybe she's cheating on you?" Jordan said

"I doubt it. Besides we gotta get to class before we are late."

"Yeah. Let's go." Daniel said

Jay sat at his desk in the bullpen watching his partner's desk empty since Erin was at home on maternity leave. Luckily Jay and Erin had done their paperwork early and had been able to get paid leave for the both of them. So Erin can stay home longer with the newborn baby.

Jay missed his partner only because he was stuck with Adam.

"DADDY!" Alex shouted

"Hey baby girl." Jay stood up and picked her up in his arms.

"You know until you came along.. She would come to me when she came from school." Kevin said

"Yeah she did.." Antonio

"Lex am I still your favorite person?"

"Uh no. Daddy is my favorite person. You're my third favorite. Uncle Kevin owns the second spot. Shane and Uncle Adam are tied for fourth."

"Well at least I'm second." Kevin said

"Daddy. That new baby is gonna ruin everything." Alex said

"No the baby isn't." They hadn't told Alex or Shane what the baby is. In fact they haven't told anyone.

"Yes it is. I don't want it." Lex said

"You're stuck with it." Jay said

"This isn't fair." Alex said

"Baby girl life aint' fair. I love you though. I will love you forever." Jay gave her a kiss

"So you're going to pay more attention to the baby and not me."

"No I'm not. I promise kid. It's you and I. This new baby will not change a thin-"

"I'm done." Shane interrupted

"What's wrong son?"

"Girl drama. Nothing big. I'm just tired."

"Oh wow. Well have fun growing up son."

"Alex word of advice. Don't date in high school. It leads to trouble."

"I don't plan on it." Alex said

"Good."

Shane walked away towards the break room and sat down. Erin followed him and sat down by him.
"Hey kid."

"Hey Erin.."

"You know your dad is planning on taking Lex to Disney. So you and I can go to a Cub's game?" Shane smiled

"I'd love that.. I was actually thinking that we could decorate the baby's room for when dad comes back. I'll help you do everything.."

"Lex next week you and I are leaving."

"To go where?" Lex asked

"Disney World." Her face lit up with happiness.

"DISNEY? Is Mommy coming?"

"No she's staying here. Just you and I.

"Okay. Do I get to see Mickey and Goofy?"

"Yeah."

So I'm posting a chapter because y'all have been wanting me to post and I haven't had anytime to write. But I hope you enjoy this!
