Thank you so much for your interest in the story and leaving a review! There was a lot of response on the latest chapter and that means so much to me! Thank you all and I hope you like this chapter as well and that you are willing to leave a review again so I know what you thought about it! Really hope you liked this chapter, not sure how it will be received as it is mostly some Jay and Antonio bromance before some romantic Linstead chapters.

Four days later

''I am taking you out to buy a ring for Erin. Only you can pick the right one, not me. You should choose the ring you want to propose with?''

Jay looked up, a little surprised. Before he could even say anything, Antonio pushed the wheelchair closer to his bed and got ready to help Jay to sit down in it.

''How do you know I am going to propose?'' Jay asked then, frowning.

''Oh…I don't know? Maybe you needed a ring to do some lord of the rings role playing in the desert in Dubai but I figured you would use it to propose.'' Antonio said, rolling his eyes.

''I was thinking about the role-playing but Proposing sounds like an idea.'' Jay said then, as it was very obvious after all what he would need a ring for and he almost smacked himself against the head as Antonio also was a detective and had figured it out, of course.

Antonio helped him get dressed and pushed the wheelchair to the car that was parked outside then, looking around to make sure Erin was not around to see him take Jay away, because she would ask questions then. This was probably one of the most secret missions they had had in years and Antonio drove away then.

''How did therapy go this morning?''

''I walked a little more, but I am still tired and sore very fast.''

''The hand?''

''Not great. The fine motor skills are a pain in the ass but as long as I can open the box with the ring in Dubai, I am happy.'' Jay smirked then and Antonio laughed as they stopped by a jeweler. Antonio helped him out of the car again.

''Here.'' Antonio said, throwing the car key in Jay's hand to keep with him but Jay dropped it, as he could not catch and hold it with his hand.

''I am so sorry.'' Antonio said then, picking it up and feeling really stupid now.

''Don't be sorry, it is not your fault you are a terrible thrower.'' Jay smirked then and they went inside, Jay looking at all the rings in the showcase, thinking which one would be perfect to show his love to Erin. It had to be perfect. It was they symbol of love and it would mean they would finally get married. He couldn't wait to marry her. It would be the perfect day to marry the perfect woman and she would be his wife for the rest of his life. They would be together for the rest of their lives.

''This one. This one is perfect, I think.'' Jay said then, pointing at the ring in the showcase with his left hand, Antonio taking a look at it as well. It was a simple silver band with a small stone in it in the front.

''I am not sure, it is a little simple, but you think that is what Erin likes then you should take this one.''

''She likes simple, besides, look at the color of the stone.'' Jay said then and he looked up as Antonio was watching.

''The brownish green reminds me of her eyes.'' He said then and Antonio nodded.

''You know, I think it is perfect, now you told me this.'' Antonio said then and he nodded at Jay.

''Get it. It is perfect and it will look so great on her.'' He said then and one of the employees got the ring in the right size, wrapping it up in a very nice box and Jay paid for it and they were ready to leave.

Antonio helped him back in the car and while they were driving back to the hospital, Jay then looked at Antonio.

''What if she says no? You said it would look great on her but it isn't even sure if she is actually going to wear it. If she says no she will never wear it. She could still say no.''

''She loves you, man. She is not going to say no.''

''You don't know. She may love me but maybe she is not ready to marry me yet. We are still young and we have been through so much. Maybe she needs some time. It would make me sad but I would understand it. I would give her all the time she need but it makes me doubt if I should even propose yet.''

''Oh shut up Halstead. I am not sure what those nurses are giving you in the hospital but it is wrecking your brain. She loves you and I am sure she wants to marry you. All you have to worry about is sneaking it in your suitcase without her seeing it and getting it to the place you want to propose.''

''right, thank you. I hope she will like the location.''

''Thinking about Dubai, I can think of a few places where you should ask her.'' Antonio said as he parked the car close by the hospital entry.

''I am not going to tell you yet. You will be surprised.'' Jay said then.

''I doubt it. But okay.'' Antonio smirked and Jay looked back as Antonio pushed the wheelchair inside.

''Oh shut up Tonio.''

''We are just like a married couple.'' Antonio smirked then. Bringing him back to his room, he helped Jay back on the bed, Jay exhausted from the trip out and Antonio walked around the room, looking for a good place to hide the box.

''Maybe put it in the small drawer here.''

''That is where the nurses keep the medical supplies. Hide it between some catheters and I would me married to nurse Mary in a bit.'' Jay said, making sure the nurse was not around.

''Is she hot?'' Antonio asked, pretending he was going to tuck it there.

''I'd rather marry Platt.''

''Not an option. You know what, I will take it home and make sure I sneak it in your bag before you leave.'' Antonio said then.

''Would you do that for me?'' Jay asked and Antonio nodded.

''Thank you so much, you are such a great friend.'' Jay smiled then and Antonio nodded. As Jay was exhausted he said goodbye then and walked out, Jay dozing off with a smile on his face, because he was going to propose to the girl he loved, with some help from a great friend.

NOTE: Antonio took Jay in secret to buy a ring for the proposal as he wanted Jay to find the perfect ring himself and they found one that would be perfect and Jay doesn't want to spill the location yet, but it will be very special and the friends had some bonding moments again. Next up in a few chapters: the trip!

Thank you so much for reading another chapter, I really hope you did like this chapter that had Jay and Antonio bond a little preparing for the trip and I hope you don't think I am rushing to much, please tell me if I do. I just skipped a few day so the trip was closer.
