"I'm pregnant."
Jay's face was unreadable, his eyes were searching mine and I just stood still. I felt like I couldn't move but if I did he would shatter. There was complete silence between us, maybe this wasn't what he wanted maybe I just ruined everything by telling him.
"Jay plea-"
"How did you find out?" Jay asked still with a unreadable expression.
"My appointment this morning, Will told me. They ran some of my blood samples and yeah I was surprised. Look I know this isn't what we were planning and it is so soon in our relationship so I can understand you not being happy. I am so so-"
Jay immediately walked forward and slammed his lips into Erin's , their was so much love and passion that Erin's legs almost went weak. Once the moment had passed, Jay looked into Erin's eyes and all she could see was love. "I am so happy Erin, yes this isn't what we expected or planned but it is a great surprise and I love you and I want you to know I am with you every step of the way," Jay moved his hand to her belly, "and I will love this baby too."
Erin couldn't even hold back the tears anymore, she let them fall and placed her hand on top of Jay's. She didn't think it was possible to love Jay even more but man she really did.
"Wait so you were saying about us taking a trip? That is so sweet but do you think it's the best time to be going right now?" Erin asked with her eyes still filled with tears from her overwhelming feeling of emotion, hormones already?
"I think right now is the best time Erin, I mean think about it we are having a baby I think we need some time to just get away and enjoy this ourselves! We can go and just relax a bit, but if you don't want to I completely understand." Jay said with his smile lowering to a more serious look.
Erin couldn't stand him being sad and she actually wouldn't mind going to the beach she had only been once and she didn't get to spend a lot of time there.
"Sure why not." Erin said watching the biggest grin spread over Jay's face. Jay picked her up and took her to the couch while simultaneously causing her to be in a fit of giggles from him tickling her. He laid her down and kissed her and leaned back to look at her.
"What?" Erin said still trying to catch her breath from laughing so much.
"I love you that's all." Jay said shaking his head at disbelief that he is so lucky to have Erin in his life.
"I love you too."

"Bathing suit, sunblock, towels, am I missing anything?" Erin turned to look at Jay who was hoisting their bags into the back of their car. They decided they wanted to go as soon as possible, so with one call to Voight they were free to go and enjoy themselves at the beach. It was a long drive but they would make the most of it and enjoy some quality time with each other.
Once they had gotten everything ready to go they set off driving and of course Erin had to drive, but Jay made sure that they would be taking turns. They started just talking about work and the upcoming annual gala the 21st district would be attending. Just catching up with each other.
After some silence and enjoying some music, Jay asked "Do you think it will be a girl or a boy?" and he laid his hand down on her thigh. Erin turned and smiled they hadn't really thought about it much. "Hmm I don't know, I would love to eventually have both a boy and a girl. I use to draw what my family would look like when I was younger and I could always picture having two kids."
With that Jay turned to Erin in shock, he had never heard her ever talk about having a family or the fact that she wanted kids. He always felt the need to keep his desires and what he wanted in the future to himself, he didn't think Erin was ready to talk about that kinda stuff but he was wrong.
"What? Look I know I haven't ever really talked about it before but yes I think about that kind of stuff too. And this may sound cheesy but I never started thinking about it till I met you." Erin responded trying not to make eye contact with Jay and just focusing on the road. Jay went silent for a while, and the she felt his grip on her thigh tighten and when she looked over she could see how emotional he had gotten and decided to just to enjoy the rest of the car ride with him. She turned on some music and kept driving.
They eventually arrived at the beach house Jay had found online. It was an air bnb that was for a decent price, once they arrived they unloaded and headed up the stairs. Jay made sure that Erin had all of the light bags, him already being protective over her made Erin smile. When they finally unlocked the door, the inside took them by surprise. The beach house was furnished with the most lavish furniture and decor. The wall opposite of the door was completely made of glass giving a perfect few of the ocean. The refrigerator was stocked with food and beverages it was absolutely perfect.
Once their room was set up and they had changed into some comfier clothes, Erin made her way to the couch and plopped down while closing her eyes. Driving had taken a lot out of her and her back was so stiff it felt amazing just lie down. Meanwhile Jay went to the fridge to see if they had kindly stocked up on beer. After finding one and almost grabbing a second for Erin he opened it and sat down near Erin. It was quiet for a while , just Jay rubbing circles onto her thigh. He knew how tired she was and he could tell that just within the past few weeks he should have picked up on it , but he never would have jumped to the conclusion that she was pregnant.
Eventually Erin had dosed off, Jay could tell that her breathing had slowed down so he decided to turn on the tv and see if anything good was on. He flipped through a bunch of channels till he ended watching friends reruns on a late night show. He had slowly started to drift, but being the light sleeper he was he woke up immediately as Erin began to stir. He looked over immediately worried that she was having nightmare but found she had changed positions and he couldn't help the smile on his face. She had turned to lay completely flat on her back, but what made him smile was her maternal instincts kicking in already. She had her hand placed on the lower part of her belly, Jay smiled just imagining how great of a mother she will be. He got up quietly and slid his hands under her to gently pick her up and carry her to their bed. Once they both got settled she moved to his side, leaning as close to him as possible and Jay fell asleep to the feeling of her heart beat on his chest.

The smell of bacon, maybe eggs and what was it? Maybe toast? Erin woke up to the delicious smell of a home cooked breakfast but it did not smell so delicious to her. She immediately ran to the bathroom having the urge to throw up. Jay heard movement from the bedroom and decided to check on her, his heart immediately dropped when he heard the sound of her in the bathroom. He walked up to the door which she had locked, "Erin, babe you okay? Let me in."
"I am fine, you don't need to see me like this please I am okay." Erin said wiping her mouth, she felt like crap. Who knew that morning sickness would come so son, and she definitely wasn't expecting it.
"Erin, please let me see you." Jay was hurt that she didn't want his help, they were supposed to be there for each other even when they were at their worst. And hearing the plea in his voice, Erin scooted away from the toilet and unlocked the door. When Jay entered his eyes fell to Erin with dark circles under her eyes and her hair masked to her face. He immediately grabbed a wash cloth and sat her on the edge of the bathtub.
"Erin, I don't care about what you look like even when you are sick. I am always here for you no matter what" Jay said while running the warm washcloth over her face trying to clean her up as much as possible. "How about this, you hop in the shower and get cleaned up and I will make you some tea to help with your stomach. Then we will have the rest of the day to spend at the beach , if you are feeling up to it.
Erin just quickly nodded her head and Jay turned the shower on for her and helped her get inside. While she was showering Jay packed bags and got everything ready for them to enjoy their day on the beach, he was so excited. This is exactly what they needed.
When she finished showering and threw her bathing suit and clothes on, Jay had everything in his hands ready to go and they headed for the water. They set up a big umbrella and towels and Erin couldn't wait and just ran in the water. Jay stood back and watched her run in, and before long he was in the water with her. They splashed each other and messed around just enjoying the quality time together. When they had finally settled and decided to take a breath, Erin wrapped her arms around Jay as they sat in the now calm water, it was getting close to evening time.
"I didn't even think about this but when should we tell everyone?" Jay questioned, they hadn't really talked about it.
"Um I would say after 12 weeks which it won't be much longer, I think that would be good we will just have to keep it our secret until then." Erin smiled and gave Jay a quick peck on the lips.
"Wait why 12 weeks?" Jay was confused as to why that certain time. Erin really didn't want to let him know she was scared but she wanted to make sure nothing went wrong and with her incident before, Will warned her that there could be consequences. Waiting the 12 weeks was to make sure she wouldn't miscarry even though she could later on in the pregnancy it was the date most doctors recommended it was most of the time safe.
"12 weeks is when most doctors clear the thoughts of miscarriage, I just want to be sure" Erin said lowering her eyes not wanting to make contact with Jay's.
"Erin don't even think about that, we will take all precautions and you and this baby will be safe no matter what. Erin hey" Jay lifted her face to his, "This is our time , we are starting a family and we need to be positive and enjoy this. I know that this is what I have been wanting for a long time and I couldn't be happier. I can't wait for this journey with you, so don't worry babe." With that Jay pressed a kiss to her temple.
"Well I will be happy until I can't fit into my clothes anymore, ooh honey if you think I am moody now, let me tell you." Erin joked making Jay laugh.
" I will love you no matter what, just know that." Jay smiled at her and placed his hand on her stomach, lightly rubbing his thumb on her skin to soothe her. They sat there in the water just enjoying each other because before they would know it, things wouldn't be so smiley anymore.
