Chapter 37
Erin's Point of View
"Is Jay ok?" I asked the doctor.
"He did well in surgery however there was some damage to the muscles in his arm from were the bullet hit." The doctor began to explain.
"What does that mean?" I questioned.
"It means he will need physical therapy for his arm, and he will be off work for a while." The doctor told me.
"But he will be able to go back right? To work?" I asked.
"We are confident that if he goes to physical therapy and does his exercises then yes in a few months he should be able to." The doctor replied.
"Can I see him?" I asked desperate to see for myself how he was.
"Of course its this way." The doctor smiled as she led me down the hall.
"I will let Alex know." Voight said as I followed the doctor.
"Thanks." I replied.
As I reached Jay's door I carefully pushed it open not knowing what to expect. However I was relived to see him awake and waiting as I closed the door behind me.
"Wow you look worse than me!" He joked as I approached him.
"Shut up!" I laughed as I gave him a long overdue kiss.
"How are you?" I asked as soon as he let me go.
"Better now." He grinned.
"Jay seriously!" I laughed.
"How are you?" I asked again, trying to get a serious answer.
"Erin I'm fine, and as long as you are going to tell me Alex is to then life is good!" Jay replied.
"Alex is fine thanks to you. Voight told me what you did. Thank you Jay." I whispered.
"For what? Saving her? Erin I told you she is my family now to, I would do anything for her." Jay told me.
"Well you sure proved that, taking a bullet meant for her." I replied.
"I would take a bullet for any of the Lindsay girls, but I hope you soon become the Halstead girls." Jay grinned.
"Girls huh? What about the baby?" I laughed.
"With my luck the baby will be another mini Erin." Jay smirked.
"Something wrong with that?" I said, pretending to be offended.
"Of course not, the more Erin's in my life the better!" Jay joked.
"Right answer!" I replied as I pulled him in for a kiss.
However as I did so he winced in pain.
"Sorry." I whispered as I gently released him.
"It's ok, just my arm. Did they tell you?" He mumbled.
"Yeah, I'm sorry Jay." I apologized again.
"Erin stop apologizing, I wanted to go after Alex and I am glad I saved her from that shot. She would be dead, Sean had a good aim." Jay told me.
"I know but now you are off work for months." I cried.
"So? I can go back when my arm is better. Besides, we can be on maternity leave together!" He said as a smile crept back onto his face.
"How do you stay so positive?" I laughed at his dorky smile.
"You." He replied.
Before I could reply Voight appeared at the door.
"Sorry I'm not interrupting am I?" He asked.
"No come on in." I replied.
"How are you?" He then asked Jay.
"I'm good, little sore but otherwise fine." Jay replied.
"Ok good." Voight said as he turned to leave.
"Wait what was that?" I called after him.
"Alex made me come down and make sure he was ok, that I wasn't lying to her. Oh that reminds me." He said as he fumbled in his pocket, before pulling out a phone.
"What are you doing?" I asked confused.
"Alex wants a picture, so I cant lie to her." Voight said as he rolled his eyes.
"Seriously?" I asked.
"Seriously." Voight complained.
"And after this she wants something nice to eat but none of that hospital crap, she wants real food." He said in a mock Alex voice as he snapped the picture.
"So the kid has you running all over the show?" Jay laughed.
"Yip claims that's what a gramps is for." Voight complained, but I could tell he loved it.
"Well she has a point." I replied.
"Huh I knew you would say that, she learnt it from you!" Voight smirked.
"She did not!" I cried.
"Yeah she did." Jay said, sticking up for Voight.
"I'm not speaking to you two." I replied, pretending to huff.
"Dreams do come true here then." Voight grinned.
"Get out!" I laughed as I threw the spare pillow at him.
"And bring me whatever food you are buying Alex to!" I called after him.
Once he was gone I turned back to Jay who was starting to doze off.
"How about I let you get some rest?" I suggested.
"Um I am really tired but I don't want you to go." Jay complained.
"I wont I can stay here." I replied.
"Erin you can't stay here, go and get some real rest. Alex and I will be fine here." He assured me.
"You sure?" I asked.
"Go I will see you in the morning." He smiled.
"Ok I love you." I whispered as I kissed him goodbye.
"I love you to." He replied as I left him to rest.
As I walked back up the corridor Rollins and Benson approached.
"Guys you didn't have to stay here." I said.
"We wanted to. How's Jay?" Benson replied.
"He's good, he is sleeping now." I told them.
"You can go, thanks for staying but you must be wrecked." I added.
"Um Voight actually told us we had to take you with us." Benson replied.
"What?" I asked confused.
"He said when you came out of Jay's room you had to come with us. So you didn't stay here all night." Olivia explained.
"Did he now?" I questioned.
"Yip so come on, say bye to Alex." Olivia instructed.
"But…" I began to protest.
"Now Lindsay." Olivia said cutting me off.
"Fine." I huffed as I walked into Alex's room.
"How's Jay?" She asked as soon as I appeared.
"Honey you know how he is, Voight showed you." I laughed.
"I know but I was just making sure nothing changed." She whispered.
"I mean it is my fault." She mumbled.
"Hey it is not your fault." I told her.
"Mom I know Sean was aiming for me." She replied.
"That doesn't make it your fault!" I insisted.
"Sean was a bad guy, and he took advantage of his relationship with you. Jay was just making sure you were safe, but he knows it wasn't your fault ok?" I said.
"If you say so." Alex mumbled.
"Alex you have to believe me. Blaming yourself isn't a good idea, so stop." I replied.
"Ok I will." She mumbled again.
"Promise?" I questioned.
"Yes mom I promise." She replied with a small smile.
"Ok good." I said returning the smile.
"Look I have to go for the night dads orders, will you be ok?" I asked.
"I will be fine and Voight's right you should be looking after yourself." Alex told me.
"Ok then well seeing as how you all want to parent me I will listen!" I joked.
"Night kid." I said as I gave her a hug.
"Night mom, love you." she whispered.
"Love you to kid. See you tomorrow." I smiled as I left her alone.
"We good to go?" Amanda asked.
"Yeah but I don't have a hotel, I thought this was a one night trip." I replied.
"You can stay with me, I have a spare room?" Amanda offered.
"Thanks Amanda." I replied.
After that we left the hospital together and it was then I realised how exhausting the day was. The minute I was in Amanda's apartment I was out of it. I didn't even get a chance to drink the tea she made for Olivia and myself.
