Jays POV
I know she's shrinking me, but I really don't care. Erin is one of the few people that I really trust in Chicago. I know my secrets are safe with her, she won't tell anyone without asking me first. If I'm being honest, she's like a sister to me. An older sister that would do anything to keep me safe. She is the only one in Intelligence that knows I'm an omega. Ever since she found out, she's been more protective of me, but only when the rest of the unit isn't around. Like when we go out to get lunch, if alphas start getting a bit too close for comfort, she will pull me close to her and stare down the other alphas until they leave. At first I thought that she thought I could protect myself and it drove me crazy, then she told me that Mouse made her promise to keep me safe while he was overseas. I know that Mouse didn't mean that I couldn't protect myself, he was asking her to keep an eye on me, then her alpha instinct kicked in and when the alphas got too close. Well long story short, Alphas know not to get close to me. But this is only when the others aren't around. I should probably tell Hank what I am.
"You and Voight, what's going on there?" I hear her ask
"He's letting me stay with him for a while." I say
"Why?"
"Last night my apartment building burned down." I give her part of the truth
"What?! Why did I not know about this?"
"Never came up" I say
"What? I'm your partner, how could you not tell me?"
"We've been busy with the case, and it kind of slipped my mind."
"Fine"
"Thank you."
Erins POV
"So who is he?" I ask trying to get back on track
"Who?" He asks
"Him"
"Oh" He says but doesn't actually answer. He moves to get out of the car, (we arrived at the coffee shop awhile now just talking) but I locked the doors. He glares at me and sits back in his seat.
"Who is he, Jay-Jay?" The nickname worked before, so I will try it again.
"Nobody" Ugggg
"What is it then?"
"Nothing"
"It's not nothing Jay-Jay, somethings got you scared, what is it?"
"Er please, just let it go" he says and looks at me with that pleading look that will get Alphas to do anything for omegas, including me.
"Fine" I say and unlock the doors. We walk into the small coffee shop and order the drinks for us and the unit. We pay and wait by the counter for the order to be filled. I'm checking my email on my phone when an Alpha comes up behind Jay and starts whispering in his ear. I look up and see the alpha. I put my arm around Jay's waist and pulled him close to me.
"Get away from him." I growl
"Your not his alpha" The alpha growls back
"No but he is my brother" I state, surprising myself even more than Jay
"It's the omegas decision." The alpha says
"Get away from me." Jay says
"See" The alpha says with a smug look
"Not her, you." Jay says
"See" I say with a smirk, the alpha just leaves the shop with a growl. Me and Jay turn back to the counter, to my surprise Jay stays by my side and I keep my arm around him. Our order gets called and we pick it up and head out to the car. I think I hear him let out a little whine when we have to separate. We get our seatbelts on and we put the coffee in the holders.
"Did you mean it?" He asks surprising me
"Mean what?" I ask
"What you said to that alpha in the shop." He says
"When I said you were my brother?"
"Yeah"
"Yes I meant it" I say and I see him smile
"hmmm" I hear him let out a little purr. We arrive at the district and head up the stairs to the bullpen. We pass out the coffee and sit at our respective desks across from each other. I see Voight and Alvin come back and Hank go into his office.
Jays POV
It was a good feeling, knowing that Erin thought of me as her brother. Knowing that she and Voight won't let anything happen to me, I feel safe. I look like I'm working, but my mind is a million miles away from the screen. I'm thinking about how Mouse would react if he was here, for that matter, how would the rest of Tier One deal with the situation. I already know the answer. They wouldn't let me out of their sight until they caught my father, and Mouse wouldn't leave my side. I startled out of my thoughts when Voight puts a hand on my shoulder. I look up to see the bullpen empty apart from me and Hank.
"You wanna go home kid?" He asks
"Yeah sure" I say, surprised at how long I was lost in my thoughts. We get into his car and start driving
"What were you thinking about before?" He asks
"What Mouse would do if he was here."
"What would he do?"
"He wouldn't leave my side until we caught him."
"Probably"
"Yeah"
"Have you talked to him recently?"
"2 weeks ago, I haven't called since."
"Probably busy"
"Yeah, it's what he's busy with that scares me" With arrive at his house before he can respond. We walk into his house and I head upstairs. Knowing that I was going to be staying there for a while, I look through my bag to see what I would have to go and get. I find my suppressant bottle and realize I only have about 3 days worth of them left. I'm gonna need more and fast if I didn't want to go into heat next week. Could get them from either Conner or Matt, both of them have the right suppressants and they already knew that I was an omega. I pull out my phone and send a text to the two of them asking if they had any to spare and telling Conner about the apartment fire though he probably already knew from Matt. A couple of minutes later I get a response from Matt saying he has a couple of extra bottles so I can have one of them. The difficult part is going to be getting them without being caught out with my secret. Most of the unit thinks I'm an alpha on suppressants. They think that I'm on suppressants so that me and Voight don't have problems.
"Jay dinners ready" I hear Voight call from downstairs and I walk out the door and down the stairs. I walk into the kitchen and grab a plate of steak off the counter top. We go and sit on the couch when we hear a knock at the door. Hank gets up and gets it.
"Did you forget your key again?" I hear him ask the mystery person
"No, I just didn't want to get shot today" I hear Erin retort and the door closes again. Erin and Hank walk into the room and Hank sits back down on the couch next to me with he plate of food on his lap
"Tell me you made another helping of that." Erin says
"In the kitchen." Hank replies
"Good" and she disappears into the kitchen. A couple of minutes later she's back and sitting on my other side.
