Nervous, Jay left the car and walked up the steps. For a second he hesitated knocking on the door and looked at Erin, watching him from the car. This man, the man that would open the door, was his father and Jay had no idea what to expect. What if his father didn't even want to see him? What if he didn't even open the door. Jay took a deep breath and finally knocked on the door. There sounded some shuffling inside and worried Jay tried to look through the window. The door opened and surprised the man looked at Jay. He looked at Jay with his blue eyes, filling with tears as he looked at Jay's face. Jay recognized him from the pictures and his lip started to shake.

''Dad?''

The man pulled him in his arms and started to sob and Jay tried not to cry. He was confused that his father was so moved to see him, especially because he never had been looking for Jay, but Jay got emotional as well that they were reunited after he searched for his dad for so long. His dad finally let go, looking at his son. He invited Jay inside and Jay followed him slowly, not knowing what to expect but he was so glad his dad recognized him. Entering the kitchen he frowned upon seeing a large board, with newspaper articles.

''I have always been very proud of what you are doing, Jay. I...I still am.'' His dad said a little shy and Jay looked at the articles. They were all about the intelligence unit and his dad even marked his name with a light yellow marker.

''It means a lot.'' He said then as he gave his dad a small smile and he saw the article of his shooting and he read it, as he never did before and he saw a not hanging under it, with the visiting hours of the hospital and the number of his room. His dad saw him looking.

''I...I wanted to visit you, but your mom was there...and I...I was afraid you would get mad.'' His dad said, not knowing what to say as he knew he had been stupid. He hadn't dared to enter Jay's room as he had seen his ex-wife sitting there, by his bedside, now he realized that even though he hadn't been there the previous fifteen years, he should have been here for him. He should have ignored his ex wife and he should have been there for his son.

''Jay, I am so sorry. I know I can't make this up to you.''

''You don't have to. I don't remember anything from before the shooting. I don't know what happened between you and mum. I don't remember what she said about you to me before. It is a new start, dad.'' Jay said as he turned around and his dad seemed shocked. Shocked by the news he had never expected. Shocked by what Jay just said. Shocked that his son had lost his memory and shocked the accepted him back so easily and he was so glad, so glad he finally got do spend some time with his son. It is what he had wanted for years, but his ex-wife never allowed him, threatened him and after he had moved away to Chicago he suddenly heard his son was studying and working there after not seeing him for nine years, but he had not dared to make contact with his son again. His dad took him to the living room and there they sad down, awkward and his dad brought him something to drink, looked out of the window and saw the pretty girl sitting in the car in front of his house.

''You shouldn't let her wait outside.'' His dad said and Jay walked to the door, got Erin with him as they walked back inside.

''This is Erin, my girlfriend.'' He said shy but proud and his dad and Erin shook hands. Erin sat down next to him on the couch as they sat in silence. Finally his dad started talking again, about his police work when there was a short knock on the front door. His dad stood up and walked to the door. Meanwhile, Erin pinched his hand and gave him a smile, glad that his father and he seemed to be good. His dad entered the room again and Jay's mouth fell open as he saw Jurgen Halstead, not his dad, but the older man he had met before on his search standing next to his dad, frowning at Jay.

''Jacob, what is Jay doing here?''

''Dad...how come you know Jay?'' His dad said confused and Jay was even more confused as his dad was called Jurgen, not Jay.

''He was looking for his father and he stood at my doorstep...oh my.'' Jurgen Halstead sr. said as he looked at his son, whom looked at his son again and Jay looked even more confused. His mind was overloaded and Erin laid her arm around him.

''Babe, he is your grandfather.'' She said, helping him to get back to his mind again.

The older Jurgen looked at Jay and at his son.

''Why have you never told me you have a son, Jacob?''

''Because I haven't seen him in fifteen years.''

''But your name is Jurgen!'' Jay said now, confused as he pointed at his father.

''I call him Jacob, because two Jurgen's were too confusing.'' Jay's grandpa said and Jay started to cry, as everything was too overwhelming. When he came back to his senses, Erin was glad he didn't have a seizure, but the man started talking then, calmly and as it all got to much for Jay, they left, promising they would meet soon again.

His dad and grandpa seemed to understand it was a bit too much for Jay to process with the brain damage and as they left, Jay realized that he did not remember them from before the shooting, not from when he was talking with Erin before they left to the raid. He hadn't known them. But the family he hadn't known before the shooting, was his family now.

At home, Erin made dinner as Jay was still trying to recover from his discovery and the meeting with his family. He tried to process it but it was too much for his mind. Although his brain was getting better, the damage still was there. She sat down on the couch next to him and kissed him on his cheek, rubbing over his back.

''Are you okay? Are you maybe a little happy?'' She asked and he nodded, slowly and laid his head on her shoulder.

''I finally have a family again, like a full family.'' He said with a small smile and she nodded.

''Even more people to love you, just like I do.'' She said as she kissed him on his forehead and was really glad to see him smile. He was going to be okay, he just needed some time.

NOTE: Jay found his father...and grandfather! Had you expected that the older Jurgen Halstead was his grandpa from the chapter before? I hope you liked this chapter as it finally got Jay and his dad together. But I promise you, this is not the end of the story at all, because Jay still has to get his memory back! He will get it back...hopefully!? Something good but at the same time something bad is coming his way again and it is going to leave you at the end of your seats again in a few chapters!

Thank you so much for reading, I hope you liked this and that you think it was realistic Jay forgave his father for leaving them. Please leave a review with what you thought about this chapter and if there is something you want to see in the future of the story.
