"Alright kiddo, you got everything? I already signed the papers." Voight asked Erin while lifting her bag of clothes on the bed.

"Yeah think so." Erin responded with a sigh and swung her feet over the edge of the bed. She slowly lifted her herself up but as soon as she went to take a step she lost her balance and fell back to the bed wincing with pain.

"Hey easy Erin, you heard what the doctor said the healing process will take some time, you are still in bad shape. Don't rush it." Voight picked up her bag and moved to put his arm around her waist gently to help her walk out of her hospital room.

It had been a week since Erin had been stabbed and the bruises believe it or not had gotten darker and the soreness Erin felt was inexplainable. Jay had been there overtime she woke up crying in pain or to help her go to the bathroom. He was there everyday, afraid to leave her side. Eventually Will mentioned she was good to go home but she was on mandatory bed rest for two weeks. Voight had taken this as the opportunity to talk to Erin and take her home, they hadn't barely talked at all since the accident.

The walk to the car was silent except the small noises of pain escaping Erin's mouth. Once she was settled and buckled, Voight hopped in the drivers side and took off. Erin was so happy to leave the hospital, she hated being there because it brought back so many bad memories. Just smelling the fresh air and seeing her beautiful city again filled her eyes with excitement. She kept her eyes out of her window like a little kid seeing Chicago for the first time.

"You were stuck in there for a week," Voight chuckled seeing how happy she was to be out. His face then softened and his glance became a little more serious as they pulled into her apartment complex. Once he stopped the car he grabbed her hand, looking right into her eyes which still hadn't looked as bright as they normally did since the kidnapping.

"Erin I... I am just so glad you are okay. Seeing you bleeding out in that basement was one of the worst things I have witnessed in my life and I've seen a lot." His eyes glazed over with tears as he remembered the image, all the while Erin had many tears running down her face. " I have lost so many people in my life and I almost thought I was going to lose you. You are my life Erin and I am just so glad you are here safe and sound, with a little bit of a beating" Voight chuckled and Erin smiled," but you are here and that is all that matters."

Erin's heart had burst at seeing how vulnerable Voight had just gotten with her, all she could do was throw her arms around him and just stay in his arms. The arms that held her at her lowest points made her feel so safe now, "I love you." Voight smiled as Erin hugged him even tighter, "I love you too kiddo, you should be proud of how strong you have become."

After Voight and Erin had finally had their chance to talk, he helped her out of the car and up to her apartment where Jay waited for her. Voight had sent him to get groceries and tidy up a bit so her apartment was ready for her to come home to. Once she was settled she said her goodbye to Voight and that she would call him soon. She was so tired , she couldn't wait to just jump in bed. As she was shutting the front door she immediately felt warm strong arms wrap around her and soon enough Jay's head was leaned onto her shoulder.

"Hi" Jay said.

"Hi back" Erin responded turning her head so she could give him a small welcoming kiss.

"So don't hate me but I think we should get you in the shower first before you go running to bed" Jay said while making a puppy dog face. Erin couldn't do anything but laugh, she agreed. If she didn't shower now she wouldn't ever want to. So with that she let Jay pull her to her bedroom.

"Here let me help you with that," Jay offered seeing Erin struggle and wince in pain trying to take off her shirt. He made sure she was okay with it before he went to lift it up and off of her. He saw how much pain it caused her to lift her arms so he decided to move her to the bed to sit down. Once she was sitting Jay could really take in her stomach and just how badly bruised it was.

Erin saw him looking and cast her gaze down, she knew how bad it looked and she could definitely feel it too. She wanted the bruises to just go away because they were reminders of what happened. And Jay seeing her reaction, he kneeled down in front of her and put his hands gently onto her thighs. "You are beautiful" Jay said looking up to her. Within a couple seconds he had her laid down on her back, "Each and every single bruise shows just how beautiful and strong you are." And with that he leaned over her and traced light lines over her stomach really scanning her darkened skin. He slowly leaned down and began to kiss every single one making sure it didn't cause any pain for Erin. By kissing every single one he slowly made his way up to her neck where he then lifted his head so he could look into her eyes. Erin couldn't even explain how grateful she felt that Jay was here with her and how amazing he was , she reached up and grabbed his head bringing it to hers and deeply kissed him.

After Jay had had helped Erin get ready for the shower, which took a bit longer then expected due to Jay wanting to help Erin get past her bruises. She got in and let the warm water hit her skin which instantly helped relieve some of the pain, she stayed in until the water got cold and wrapped herself up with her towel before going to her bedroom. When she opened the door Jay wasn't there but a smell of spaghetti hit her nose and she smiled instantly knowing where he was.

She knew she had to throw some sort of clothes on even though she didn't want anything touching her tender skin, and what caught her eye was Jay's packed bag in the corner of her room. She knew he wouldn't mind so she ran over and snagged one of his t-shirts and threw it on automatically getting a whiff of his cologne and detergent and knew she had made the right choice.

Jay was setting down two bowls of pasta at the table when he saw Erin come out of her room from the corner of his eye. When he looked and took in what she was wearing he couldn't even try and hide his smile, it was the biggest goofiest smile but man did she look good in his shirt. She slowly made her way to the kitchen, thanking him for making dinner and him teasing her about how stealing isn't nice. They enjoyed the food and their company, Erin was so hungry and sick of hospital food so she was in heaven.

After dinner Erin helped Jay wash the dishes until he demanded she go lay down on the couch until he finished and without even putting up a fight she went and laid down. She was exhausted and the dark circles under her eyes showed it. After she turned on the tv and found reruns of friends she got comfy and started to drift off.

Jay had walked in and saw how she was asleep and decided not to bother her so he sat and the other side of the couch enjoying friends on the tv. Eventually Jay had fallen asleep without realizing and it had been a few hours since dinner when Erin started thrashing around in her sleep and yelling "No! No please". She was sobbing and screaming, Jay had been startled and woke up seeing her throw herself around and how her face was tear stained. He immediately reached over and shook her awake, "Erin hey Erin, it's me! Shh baby it's me."

Slowly Erin realized what was happening and she opened her eyes and sat up. She was out of breath and she met Jay's eyes which looked scared to death. "I was back in the basement and I-" She closed her eyes as she let a few more tears fall. "Zilinsky was there and I was tied up and " And then Erin lost it, she sobbed and sobbed. Jay couldn't stand to see her like this, "Come here" he told her and Erin shifted her was to his side and laid her hand on his chest feeling his warmth. Jay wrapped his arms around her and began to draw small circles on her back to calm her. After she had finally calmed down, Jay heard Erin's breathing slow down and he knew she was asleep. He placed a kiss to Erin's head and dug his phone out of his back Jean pocket. He dialed Voight and waited till he heard Voight's voice on the other side of the line.

"This is a lot worse then we thought"
