Chapter 14: Bunny

Jay woke up the next morning before Erin. He placed a gentle kiss on her head and quietly got out of the bed. He got dressed and quietly went into Nadia's room and finds to Ollie awake. Jay

scoops up the puppy before he could wake Nadia and decides to take him out so her can do his business. He grabs the leash from the hallway and heads outside. When he returns the apartment was still quiet. He sets the puppy down and kick off his sneakers. The puppy runs over to his doggie bed and lays down as Jay goes into the kitchen and turns on the coffee pot. He quietly goes back into Erin's room and takes a shower. When he comes out the bathroom, he is greeted to the sight of Erin waking up.

She groans at the sound of her bathroom door opening up. "Ugh…what time is it?"

Jay lets out a laugh. "It's 7:30."

Erin groans again and sits up on the bed. She finally opens her eyes and smiles at the sight before her. Jay is standing in her bedroom with a towel wrap around his waist still glistening from his shower.

"I'm not a piece of meat Erin." Jay says with a smile on his face as he pulls out his clothes for the day.

Erin smiles and says, "Just enjoying the view Halstead."

Jay walks over to her and leans on the bed given her a kiss good morning. "I'm going to go get dressed. The coffee should be ready and I already took Ollie out."

"Coffee already ready and you took the dog out, I could get used to having you here in the mornings."

Jay smiles at her and places on last kiss on her lips and says, "I'm going to go get dressed." He turns and walks back into the bathroom shutting the door behind him.

Erin reluctantly gets out the bed and heads into the kitchen to grab a cup of coffee. As she's filling her cup up she hears the pitter patter of little feet coming into the kitchen. "Hi, mommy." Nadia says sleepily.

Erin takes a quick sip of her coffee and sets it down. She picks Nadia and places a kiss on her head. "Hi, sweet pea. Did you sleep good?"

Nadia nods her head against her mother's shoulder. Erin rubs her hand up and down her daughter's back. Jay makes his way from the bedroom and smiles at the sight of the mother and daughter in the kitchen. "Good morning." Jay says as he enters the kitchen.

Nadia raises her head at the sound of her father's voice. When she sees him a huge smile appears on her face. "Daddy!" She says excitedly.

"Hey, munchkin." Jay says as he takes the little girl from Erin's arms. The puppy hearing the excitement the kitchen begins barking and wagging his tail. Jay looks down at the puppy who is now standing at their feet. "We haven't forgotten about you buddy."

Jay sets Nadia down on the ground as the little girl picks up the puppy. "Are we having a family day?" Nadia asks with excitement in her eyes.

"Yup. Your mom and I are taking you got for breakfast. How does that sound?"

"Awesome." Nadia looks up at Erin. "Mommy can we go get dressed now?" Nadia asks Erin.

Erin nods her head. "Yea. Why don't you give Ollie to daddy and you and I will go get ready."

Nadia hands the puppy off to Jay and says, "We'll be back soon daddy." As the two of them head off to Nadia's room.

Jay looks down at the puppy in his arms and says, "It looks like it's just me and you."

A little while later both his girls emerge fully dressed and ready to go. He helps Nadia into her coat while Erin places Ollie in his cage. Jay grabs his coat and puts it on and waits for Erin to get hers. The family of three head out of the apartment and make their way to Jay's truck.

They were seated at a booth at the diner having just placed their order. Erin looks up at Jay nodding her head toward Nadia who was seating right next to her coloring on placemat. She jesters to him that now would be a good time to tell Nadia about them.

"Nadia." Erin says as she looks over at her daughter. Nadia looks up at her mother. "Your dad and I want to talk to you about something."

Nadia looks between her parents. "Okay."

"You know how I went out last night?"

The little girl nods her head. "You looked her really pretty."

Erin smiles and continues taking. "Thank you, sweet pea." She pauses and continues. "Last night daddy and I went on a date."

Nadia looks up confused and asks, "What's a date?"

Jay takes over the conversation. "Sometimes mommies and daddies go dates so they can talk and be alone together."

"Oh."

Erin shakes her head. Trying to figure out how to explain this to a three year old. "What daddy and I are trying to say is that we want to be a family like some of your friends mommies and daddies."

Nadia eyes light up. "You mean we will live together?"

"Yea some nights we will stay at my place and other nights will stay at mommies." Jay answers.

They waitress comes over and delivers their food stopping their conversation. After she leaves Jay and Erin look at each other and back at Nadia. "How do you feeling about what we said sweet pea? "Erin questions.

"Okay." Nadia says as she eats her breakfast.

"Are you happy?" Jay asks.

"Yup." She says with a smile. "I get you and mommy all the time now." Nadia replies happily looking at her parents.

Erin and Jay look at each other and smile and start to eat their breakfast too. After they finished eating Erin took Nadia to the bathroom and Jay went to pay for their meal. As they exit the bathroom they head over to the counter where Jay is standing. She sees him ending a call.

"What's up?" Erin asks.

He sighs and says, "We going to have to cut our day short. We just caught a case."

Erin nods in understand and says, "I'll call Voight." Erin lets go of Nadia's hand and pulls out her phone to call Hank. She motions to Jay that she is going to head outside. He nods his head and picks up Nadia as he waits for his change.

Erin heads out the door. "Hank, it's me. We just got a case. Do you think you can take Nadia for us."

"No problem, kid." Hank replies.

Thanks, we'll see you soon." Erin hangs up the phone and glances back at the door to the entrance of the diner waiting for her family.

"Erin?" A chill runs down Erin's spine at the sound of the voice. She turns her head toward the sound and sees the person walking toward her. "Oh my god. It is you. I have missed you." The woman says and she hugs her.

"Hi, mom." Erin says still in shock not returning the hug that Bunny is giving her. Jay choses that moment to come out of the diner with Nadia in his arms.

"Hey, Erin you ready to go." Jay asks not noticing the who Erin was talking to since he is looking down at his phone. Erin pulls back from the hug at the sound of Jay's voice.

"Mommy, daddy says we have to go to Poppa's because you guys have to go and catch bad guys." Nadia says as she plays with the badge now hanging around Jay's neck.

"Mommy?" Bunny questions as she looks at Erin. Erin opens her mouth to respond but nothing comes out.

At the sound of the woman's voice Jay finally looks up from his phone. "Hi, Jay." Bunny says waving at the detective.

"Bunny" Jay says with no emotion.

She takes a step toward Jay and the little girl and says, "Hi, I'm your grandma."

Jay takes a step back as Bunny moves closer. Erin breaks out of her fog and moves in front of Bunny separating her from Jay's path and says, "Jay, take Nadia to the car and I'll be there in a minute."

Jay walks toward the car and puts Nadia in her car seat. He shuts the door and gets in the driver side of the Sierra and starts the truck. Erin turns her attention back toward Bunny wants she knows her daughter is out of sight.

"You named her Nadia?" Bunny asks. "That's sweet I remember how fond of her you were of the young girl. It was a good way to honor her. Why didn't you tell me you were back in Chicago?"

"I haven't been back that long." Erin replies.

Bunny keeps talking like Erin hasn't said anything. "And why didn't tell me I had a granddaughter? I had a right to know."

Erin interrupts her mother's ranting. "I can't do this with you right now. I have to get to work." Erin turns and walks toward the truck.

"Erin! Erin!" Bunny shouts.

But Erin just ignores her and gets in the truck. As Jay pulls out of the parking spot Bunny watches the truck head down the road until it's out of sight. As Jay continues to drive he looks over to Erin. He starts to opens his mouth but Erin stops him before he can say anything. "Not now." She says as she glances at the little girl in the backseat. Jay nods his head in understanding and heads to Voight's house.

They at the district and exit the car after returning from the crime scene. They stand outside to talk before heading inside. "So, Bunny?" Jay says.

Erin looks over at him and sighs. "I was not expecting that today." She shakes her head. "She is not going to stop trying to find me especially now that she knows about Nadia."

"I don't want that woman anywhere near Nadia." Jay says with anger in his voice.

Erin places a hand on his arm and says, "Calm down." She says as she looks up at him. "I don't want that either."

Jay closes his eyes and tries to calm down. "I know. It's just when she comes around she throws your whole world into chaos."

"That was before. I promise you, I'm not letting her in again." Erin says. "But we can't worry about that right now we have a case to solve and you're the boss now."

Jay nods his head and the two head up to the District to work on the case. As soon as his foot hits the top he is in Sergeant mode. "Alright, what have we got?"

The unit had been working tirelessly on this case for the past two days. They finally apprehended the offenders two hours ago. Now they were sitting here finishes up paperwork to official close the case. Jay glanced at the clock on his desk seeing that it was close to midnight he rubs his hands over his face. He gets up from his desk and opens his office door. "Guys, go home. You can finish up the paperwork tomorrow."

Every one nods their head and begins to pack up their stuff to leave. Jay heads back into his office and sits at his desk. He watches as the team leaves one but his mind was on the return of Bunny. A knock on his door brings him out of his thoughts.

"Hey." Erin says in her raspy voice.

He looks up an offers her a small smile and gives her tired reply, "Hey."

"You ready to get out of here?" Erin asks.

Jay nods his head and grabs his coat. "Hank said he would keep Nadia tonight. He told me that it's been a while since they had some one on one time."

"Didn't she just spend the night with him a couple of days last week?" Jay questions.

"Yeah, but I think he misses having someone in that house with him. He doesn't get to see Daniel anymore and now that he has Nadia he wants to spend as much time with his granddaughter as possible. He even went to my place to get Ollie."

The two head down the steps of the district and head to the Sierra. Jay looks at her with a smirk on his face. "So, does that mean I get you all to myself tonight?"

"Yup." Erin replies shyly as she slides into the truck.

Jay gets into the truck and looks over at Erin with a smile and says, "So my place or yours?"

They had been making out in front of Erin's door for a couple of minutes. Jay moves his lips to her neck. As he does Erin moans and says in throaty whisper, "We really need to move this inside. Before we give my neighbors a free show."

Jay nods his head and lets out a laugh against her neck but he doesn't stop what he is doing. Erin rolls her eyes and pushes him back. She gets the keys out of her coat and turns toward the door. As soon as her back is to him Jay places his hands on her hips and proceeds to places kisses up and down her neck. She finally gets the door opened and they stumble into the apartment. They break apart as the enter the apartment break.

Erin backs away from him removing her coat in the process. "Good night." She says with a flirty sly smile on her face. "Thanks for driving me home."

Jay follows her as she walks backwards further into the apartment. Jay catches up to her two long strides and grabs her by the waist. He looks at her with a smile on her face. "How about a good night kiss then?"

Erin gives him a smiles as Jay's lips descend on hers. The kiss quickly turns passionate as Jay backs her up against the wall. They continuing kissing and soon break apart as she pulls his shirt over his head. She loses her shirt next and Jay's lips are back on her in an instant. Jay lifts her up into his arms as Erin wraps her legs around his waist and he carries her into the bedroom. He playful throws he down onto the bed and he pulls her by her legs closer to the edge. Erin's hands immediately go for his belt undoing it and ripping it out of his pants. He gives her on his trademark smirks and crawls on top of her body. She reaches up to meet his lips and pulls his body toward hers. She moves her hands to his pants and pushes them off his body. Jay leans back and unzips Erin's pants and moves them slowly off her body. He places kisses on her stomach and up her body until he reaches her lips again in a heated kiss. They break apart again and as they stare into each other's eyes. Erin breaks the silence and says, "Make love to me, Jay." He smiles and leans down and captures her lips and again proceeds to do just that.

A while later the two laid wrap in each other arms spent from their previous activities. Erin's head was laying on his chest as she and Jay tried to catch their breath. "Wow." Erin says as runs her hand over Jay's chest.

"Wow indeed. I mean we were good together before but I think it's even better now." Jay replies running his hands through Erin's dark hair.

Erin lets out a laugh. "Yeah, it's definitely gotten better."

Jay rolls Erin onto her back and says, "How about a round two? "Erin just laughs as his lips descend on hers again.

Erin is awaken by the sound of her phone going off. She tries to move to grab it but the arm around her waist tightens its hold on her. Without moving from her spot, she blindly searches for the phone on her night stand. She finally locates it and answers it. "Hello." She says sleepily.

"Erin? Is that you?" The voice on the other end of the line fully wakes Erin up.

She pushes Jay's arm off her waist and moves to sit up. "Mom?" How did you get this number?" Erin says into the phone.

"I called Teddy and he gave me your number." Bunny says.

Erin rolls her eyes. "What do you want?"

"What do I want? I haven't heard from you in years not since you told me that you were leaving. Then you come back here with my grandchild and don't either bother to tell me." Bunny yells.

Jay wakes up at the sound Bunny's shrieking coming from the phone. Erin looks over at him and mouths "sorry." He shakes his head in understanding. "Mom. I told you when I left Chicago that you weren't going to see me for a while." Erin sighs. " What I was really getting at was that we can't be in each other's lives anymore."

"Erin…" Bunny tries to say but Erin interrupts her.

"I can't do this with you right now. I gotta go mom." Erin ends the call and stares at the phone.

Jay sits up in the bed and pulls Erin closer. "You okay." He asks.

"Yea" she replies in a quiet voice. She shakes her head. "I don't wanna think about Bunny right now." She looks up at Jay and says, "I was having a good morning until that phone call I want to try and get that back. So, how about a shower before work? "Jay smiles as the two race off into the bathroom.

The unit was sitting in the bullpen finishing up the paperwork from their latest case when Platt walks up the stairs.

"Lindsay." She says and Erin looks up at the sound of her voice. "Bunny is downstairs and she is refusing to leave until she talks to you."

Erin rolls her eyes and gets up from her desk. She makes her way down the steps with Platt. Platt points to the office where Bunny is waiting. Erin nods her head and takes a deep breath before she enters. She closes the door behind her. "What are you doing here?" She asks as she crosses her arms.

"I just want to talk." Bunny pauses and says, "I missed you and I want to get to know my granddaughter."

Erin lets a dry laugh. "You missed me but haven't tried to contact me in the last three years."

"I had a lot of things going on in my life, Erin." Bunny says annoyed.

"So did I! The only reason I left Chicago was because I was cleaning up your mess." Erin says in a tight voice.

"Oh, please you had your own things going with the police." Bunny sighs, "But you always have to blame me for your problems."

Erin shakes her head and says, "You know what I'm done!" Bunny tries to speak but Erin holds up her hand. "All my life I made excuses for you because I just wanted you to love me!" Erin sighs, "But it took me a long time to realize that you can't love because you don't know how to." Erin shakes her head. "I have been the parent in this relationship for far too long. I can't fix you mom and I'm done trying. You and me were done." Erin says as she gets in Bunny's face.

Bunny is shocked at the anger in Erin's voice. She tries to speak but Erin interrupts her. "As far as I'm concerned I don't have a mother and you sure as hell don't have a granddaughter." Erin says in low lethal voice and with she opens the door and leaves.

Bunny follows her out and says, "You can't pretend like I don't exist Erin. I'm not going anywhere! You always come back and you'll be back again when you realize that you need She yells.

Erin stops at the gate that leads to Intelligence. She turns to Segreant Platt and says, "Can you make sure that Bunny finds her way out."
