*NY* 4 hours after Jay and Erin left
H- It looks like we are done
O- Thank you all for helping
H- Jay and Erin are well on the way which wouldn't be possible without you guys.
Amato – Always happy to help. Are you guys leaving now or tonight
H- We are going to check out of our room and then head out.
Amato- Ok have fun "checking out"
O- Oh we will
*In the car* with Jay and Erin
E- Jay I think we need a diaper and feeding stop.
J- Food for the babies or us?
E- How about both?
J- of course, babe we are about 15 minutes from the next town
E- Good, Hey Amanda
Erin reaches forward and shakes Amanda's shoulder
R- Hey
J- We are about 15 min from lunch anything you can't stand right now
R- No but I am craving Qdoba
E- I think that we can be arranged
J- I would never stand in the way of a pregnant women's craving.
*Will and Nat's House*
When Will gets home from taking Owen to school he finds Natalie laying in bed. As he walks into their room he can tell she is having a contraction. He walks up behind her and rubs her back. After Will can see the pain of the contraction lift. Nat looks up at him and smiles.
N- remember when we talked about having the baby here if Erin was back
W- Yeah but they are still hours outside of Chicago.
N- I know but I still want to do it here.
W- I don't see a problem with that but I have one condition.
N- which is?
W- I call Kim and Maggie over
N- Scared to be alone with your laboring wife?
W- No, I need Maggie to bring me a few things and help me deliver our baby. Kim is to support you till Erin and Jay get here
N- I can agree to that but do you mind… (Will could tell a contraction had taken over.)
W- Of course I won't even leave your side to call them.
Will continues to rub Natalie's back through her contraction. He picks up the phone and calls Maggie first.
M- Hey Will, everything ok? I thought you had a shift today.
W- I called in earlier this morning Nat is in labor.
M- For how long? What do you need me to do?
W- I am going to text you a list of supplies. Can you grab them and head over to ours? Since Erin and Jay are on the way back she wants to have the baby at home.
M- Of course. Do I need to call someone in or am I only there to deliver supplies?
W- Maggie you helped me deliver Owen, of course, call someone in, you are going to help me again.
M-See you in about an hour.
W- Thanks, Maggie.
N- Did she think we didn't want her here?
W- I am not sure
N- Well I am glad she will be here as well as I am glad you get to deliver this little one.
W- Me too anything you need before I call Kim.
N- I think I want a bath. Would you go….
Will starts rubbing her back knowing another contraction just hit.
W- I will once this contraction is over you are doing great baby. Keep breathing before you get in there I want to check how dilated you are.
Natalie just nods her head. As Will sees her relax.
W- I am going to start your bath.
N- Thank you, babe.
W- Anything for you baby.
When he comes back he finds Nat on her back waiting for him to check how far she was progressed.
W- you have only progressed to 3 ½ Cm
N- Really but it has been 3 hours but I should progress faster this time.
W- after your bath and Maggie gets here we can break your water that should help
Nat just nods her head feeling another contraction take over.
Since Will is still sitting by her legs from checking her progress he rubs her leg and grabs his phone to call Kim.
K- Will? Everything alright?
W- Yeah, How are you feeling?
K- Good a little tired Noah has been wearing me out. Adam made me stay home today.
W- Will would you mind coming over Natalie is in labor and want to have the baby at home.
K- Of course I will be over in a bit.
W- Thanks, Kim.
Will slips his phone back in his pocket
W- Ready for that bath.
N- Yes.
He helps her get up and grabs a set of bottoms from a swimsuit.
W- Do you want these for a while
N- Yes, please. No reason to give anyone too much of a show.
W- That's only for me.
N- You are getting nowhere near that for a good three months after you deliver our child.
W- Of course, dear.
*In the car with Jay and Erin* about 2 hours later
J- Thanks for the update bro. We should be in the city in about 4 hours we will head right over after we drop the kids at Hailey and Vanessa
Jay hangs up the phone and looks back at Erin
J- Natalie is in full-blown labor and since we are on our back she was decided to stay at home.
E- Ok, how far in is she?
J- 5 cm, we should get there right about perfect if she keeps progressing the way she is.
R- If you would like me to, I can take the girls to Upton's after I drop you guys.
J- That would be perfect. Thank you.
R- No problem.
*The Precinct*
Adam walks back in from getting Noah and setting him up downstairs with Platt.
U- I just got off the phone with Jay. Natalie is progressing well and has decided to have the baby at home so they will call us when they are ready for us to come over. Until then Vanessa, you and I are going to grab Noah and head home and wait for the call. Amanda is bringing the girls over so when they are ready for us she and your boyfriend's sister will keep the kids. The rest of you are free to go. And Adam I am not sure if Kim texted you.
R – She did. Kev Molly's for a bit since I am wife free.
KA – No I am going to go home sorry man.
R – Well I guess I will too. See you guys later.
As soon as everyone but Hailey, Vanessa and Kevin leave the Bullpen. Hailey sees Vanessa approach Kevin.
V- You are coming over with Nessa right?
KA- of course, I am just had to blow Adam off the trail I will see you in a bit.
H- If you two are done being ooey gooey. We should head out.
V- Yes Hailey we are done let's go.
They all head downstairs
*At Will and Nat's*
Will walks into the bedroom after calling Vanessa to check on Owen. Nat is laying on her side with Kim sitting next to her on the bed and Maggie is behind her rubbing her back.
W- Baby after that contraction we should check you again.
Natalie just nods.
W- Erin and Jay are about 2 hours out we should consider going ahead and breaking your water now. I know you didn't want to earlier but considering how you are progressing I think it should be fine now. You have been in labor leg enough I am getting concerned about the baby and you.
Will patiently waits by her legs rubbing one as he waits for the contraction to end.
N- Once they get here I will let you break it but until then no. The heart rate is fine I can feel the baby moving down as it should.
W- Babe
N- No Will. As long as the baby is fine I want to not push it. I want them to be here if we can.
W- Ok. Let's check the heart rate and your dilation.
He grabbed the doppler and found the heart rate. Right as another contraction hits he leaves the doppler in place to listen to the heart rate through the contraction to verify the baby was handling labor well. After the contraction ends Will pulls on a glove and slips his hand under the blanket covering Natalie's legs to check her dilation. As soon as he is about to check he can tell a contraction hits her so he waits but looks at Maggie.
W- How far apart are the contractions?
M- That was a little under 2 minutes and they are each lasting about 30 to 45 seconds.
W- Nat we shouldn't wait to break your water you know that right.
Nat just glares up at him unable to respond. Will patiently waits for the contraction to end once it does Nat curtly asks him "How far am I dilated?"
Will goes ahead and checks.
W- Same as last time 6 ½ Nat I know you want to wait but as close as the contractions are coming and the fact you aren't progressing anymore
N- The heart rate is fine, even during contractions. With Owen once we broke my water I went from 8 to 10 cm in an hour please I will let you check the heart rater every 15 mins and if that rate is concerning I will let you.
W- So it should be about an hour and a half to get from 3 ½ to 10 so they should get her about perfectly
N- Please Will. I don't want to take the chance, I really want them to be here.
W- One other condition is if the contractions get any closer I will do it as well.
Nat nods her head as the next contraction overtakes her.
M- I'll let you know if that happens.
W- Thank you, Maggie.
*In the Car with Jay and Erin*
J- Will just texted me. Her progress has stalled and she won't let him break her water till we get there.
E- She is crazy. Once labor started I wanted it over with. Why is she trying to prolong it?
J- I am not sure but I can tell it is hard on Will. I remember it was hard on me to watch you in pain while you were in labor.
E- I know it was darling but well worth it if I say so.
J- yep and ready to do it again soon.
E- in a few months. Let me enjoy intelligence again for a bit first.
J- I can agree to that but we can practice.
A – well on that note I feel like I shouldn't be here
J- Sorry Amanda, we are 15 minutes away so you get away from us soon enough.
*Upton and Roja's apartment*
U- Noah, and Owen are watching a movie. Amanda should be here soon with the girls.
R- Awesome
U- You two should be careful when Rollins gets here so she doesn't spill your secret too soon.
R- Oh we will but what do we say about Nessa?
U- I told Jay that it was Kevin's sister watching the girls so I hope no one puts two and two together before team dinner in a couple of days.
R- Yeah hopefully all the cops will be distracted by the return of Erin and new baby Halstead.
U- and the surprise of Erin and Jay having a baby 8 months ago.
KA- Is sarg on his way back as well.
U- yeah they are about 5 hours behind Jay and Erin. So they will probably get here right about when we get to go see the baby.
Noah comes running into the Kitching stopping short when he sees Rojas sitting on Kevin's lap.
N- Aunt Vanessa do you like Uncle Kevin
R- Of course I do sweetie. Your daddy says we work well together. Why Sweetheart?
N- No I mean do you like-like Uncle Kevin?
R- Why do you ask that Noah?
N- Because Mommy sits on Daddy's lap like that.
Nessa walks in as Noah explains why.
Nessa- I think you two are busted you better tell everyone tonight so the little detective here doesn't spill the beans to your boss.
Rojas buries her head in Kevin's neck and says "You ready for this tonight?"
KA- I have been ready for a while just patiently waiting on you.
Nessa- Come on back to the movie before they get all gross
KA- Nessa!
Nessa- you know it is true Bro!
U- Busted by Voight's Kid. Maybe you should have stayed away from each other till the dinner.
R- Too late now. Kevin, how do you want to do this?
KA- Don't worry I have a plan for after the baby is born.
