Jay's p.o.v
Worried, I pace up and down the hallway. Fear has a strong hold on me. Antonio helps me into a nearby chair. "Erin and you are not an item. Why do you care about her so much?" Antonio wonders. "Erin is my
partner" I stress. "She is my wife and baby's mother!" I say silently to myself. "Erin is pregnant. Are you and Erin anything else more besides partners? If so, tell me right now" Voight demands. I am torn
between telling the truth or a lie. I choose the truth. "Erin is my wife. We eloped at the courthouse four months ago. We are expecting a daughter named Grace in December" I confess. Shocked, Voight and
Antonio are completely blown away. Erin's welfare weighs so much on my mind that I don't have time for their judgement. After what seemed to be an eternity, the doctor allows me to see Erin at last.
Miraculously, my wife and daughter survived the surgery. Seeing Erin's smiling face and hearing Grace's heartbeat has restored my hope.
