New chapter! Please keep leaving reviews so I can see what you guys want to happen. Also some big chapters are coming up that I'm very excited for, so buckle in!
It's been a few days since anyone has heard from Jay or Erin, even Hank doesn't know what's going on. The team are sitting in the bullpen going through paper work, when Erin walks in. Everyone stands up looking at her. "Hey guys." She says
They all respond with hey.
"I know you guys want answers and I'll give them to you, but first I just want to get settle back into work. Are there any new cases?"
"Wait but Lindsay..." adam speaks up
"Ruzek shut it, let her be. No there aren't any new cases E." Antonio's responds.
Looking at Adam, she responds "thanks Antonio".
Hank calls her into her office and they go over everything that happened. Then Hank tells her is time to tell the others, so she slowly walks out into the bullpen and addresses them all.
"Ah guys do you just want to listen up for a sec?"
They all turn to face her.
"Uh.. I know you've all been wondering what has happened, and I want you to know, Jay will probably kill me for this but I'd rather he hate me then you all sit and wonder. So um... Jay had been going through some stuff and it had to do with the fact that Hailey left the same way I did, but also because while I was away I gave birth to his daughter. Now um I didn't tell him and I regret that everyday, she does know who her father is and can Identify him even at 3 years old. But basically that triggered something in his mental health to make him spiral into a deep unknown. He'd been fighting it for a little bit when Will finally pushed him to get help and Jay flipped out and left. The next day Will called me saying that he has hit a bad spot again and that Jay hasn't come home yet after the last night and wasn't answering phone calls. That's when he came here and we talked some more, some how he got me to go and track Jay down, when I found his car it was empty with him no where to be seen, until I saw his figure leaning over the edge of a bridge, I ran to him calling out his name and when I found him I uh..." she feels her throat start to dry up as tears well up in her eyes, "I uh he was hysterical, I'd never seen him like that before, I got as close to him as I could, he was yelling at me "stay away Erin, I swear to god I'll do it, I mean it." Meaning he was going to jump, I grabbed his arm holding him as tight as I could, he fell to the ground crying saying things like he gives up and that he can't do it anymore, I felt pretty shit as I knew this is mostly my fault and I'm the one to blame, but um I called Will and 911, he went to hospital they checked him out kept him over night and sent him home making sure Will keeps a close eye in him for a few days. I went home to be with my daughter and haven't left her until now, and that's basically what happened, and before you ask questions about my daughter you have all met her, her name is Hallie, she was the little girl that was taken and you all found in a shed and brought her back to me, so I Thankyou all so much for that." She finally finishes saying
Everyone is standing there speechless. Antonio and Kim walk up to hug her and hold her, Erin trying to hold back her tears. Atwater eventually joins. Adam does not.
"Wait so your saying he was thinking about ending it all, because you didn't tell him about his kid, you have nerve Erin."
"Adam!" Kim fires back at him.
"No. You think that it's ok to come in here being all sorry for yourself when actually your the one that caused all of this! How dare you come back into his life like this bringing a child! When you treated him so badly in the past!"
"I know I get it, I am the one to blame for it all, and I'll tell Jay that when I get the chance to." Erin responds
"No Erin it's ok, Adam wtf you don't get to say shit like that, you don't know the full story about what happened between them, nor does anyone except Erin and Jay, so stfu and keep you damn words to yourself, no one wants to hear it!" Kim's yells.
Adam stands there stunned at what his girlfriend just said to him. Making the decision to apologise and sit down and do his paperwork.
Erin finishes it off with "he has been told that it is extremely recommended that he get proper help, I have told him, Will and Nat have told him, Hank has told him and so have his doctors, so hopefully he gets the point and does that."
Adam nods.
As Jay pulls up and contemplates his next move, does he turn around and drive home, or does he go on with it. Sitting there pondering for a few moments. Until he decides he going to do it.
He walks inside. "Hi im Jay Halstead, im here for an appointment with the psychologist."
He's doing it, he's getting the help he needs.
They talk about everything that has happened and how he's going to move on with it, deciding not to take medication and using talking sessions and other mind easing activities to help him.
The book in appointments for the next few weeks deciding that this was best for him.
As he gets in his car at the end of the day he decides to make a couple of phone calls.
Phone Call 1
"Hey"
"Hey Jay, how'd it go?"
"Good Will, it went really well. I just thought I'd ring you to tell you that I went through with it, and I'm going to get myself better."
"I'm am so proud of you, you know that?"
"Yeah I do, I seriously don't know what I would have done these past few years without you by my side for all of it, as well as Nat."
"That's what brothers are for, Jay. To have each other's backs 24/7"
"I know. Anyways I better let you get back to work, thanks again."
"All god bro, and good job"
"See ya."
"Bye"
After he hangs up he's call the next person.
Phone call 2
"Hello"
"Halstead how are you going?"
"Good thanks Voight."
"That's great to hear, what can I do for you?"
"I just wanted to call to let you know I went and saw a psychologist, I'm going to get my self better so I can come back to work and be the best detective I have ever been."
"Well that's happy news, I'll be counting down the days until I have you back in the field, we all miss you here."
"Haha. Yeah I guess I miss you guys too. Anyways yeah that's all."
"No worries, well good job kid, I'll see and talk to you soon. Bye"
"Will do. Bye"
He has one final call to make, he doesn't want to but he needs to.
Phone call 3
He calls the phone...
"Hello?" He says
"Hiiiiiii, this is Hallie spweaking on Mommas pone." He freezes.
"Hallie baby give the phone to Mommy, go and eat your dinner before it gets cold. Sorry about that who's this?"
No response.
"Hello?" Erin says again "Jay is this you?"
"Hi" he finally responds back.
"Hi"
"I uh didn't mean to interrupt the night time routine, but I just wanted to tell you that I went and saw a psychologist today to help me. I want to get better so I can be a better a cop, and be a better father to Hallie."
"Oh good. That's great to hear, Hallie will love that, I will love that —"
"I'm not doing it for you, I'm doing it for Myself and Hallie, I still haven't forgiven you, I don't know if I ever will, but that doesn't mean I don't want Hallie in my life."
"I get that. It's ok."
"Yeah well I better go."
"Ok bye"
He hangs up without saying bye back to her.
Another short chapter sorry.
