Also thanks to those who reviewed The Reaper which is my next story after this one is done!
"Nadia's missing."
Hank's words wash over Jay, "What do you mean Nadia's missing? She's supposed to be with you." Jays replies his voice raises as he speaks.
Hank takes a breath. "I was running late and when I got here apparently someone else pick her up." Hanks says as he exits the school and heads toward his truck.
"What do you mean some already picked her?" Jay says as he runs his hand through his hair trying to control his anger.
"It was Bunny." Hank answers him in a tight voice as he walks out of the school and heads toward his car.
"Damn it!" Jay yells causing Al to appear at the door to his office. "How did she even get her hands on Nadia. She not on the pick-up list and no one who isn't on the list is allowed to pick her up without a note."
Hank smacks his lips together. "Apparently she forged Erin's signature on some paper saying that she was allowed to pick Nadia up from school. The signature matched the one on file for Erin, so they didn't think anything of it." Hank lets out a sigh. "She also told them that you and Erin were working a huge case and would be out of reach, and I would was apparently helping you guys."
Jay lets out a breath, "I can't believe that she would do something like this."
"Yea well when you dealing with Bunny you never know what's going to happen."
"Hank I gotta go. I…I need to tell Erin what's going on." Jay says running a hand through his hair. "Call me if you find out anything else."
"Yeah, I'll be back at the District as soon as I can." Hank replies as he ends the call and gets into his truck.
Jay slams the phone down and yells, "Shit!"
Al makes his way into the office and shuts the door. "What's going on?"
Jay looks up at Al with his hands on hips, "That was Hank. Bunny took Nadia."
"Damn." Al puts a hand on Jay's shoulder, "Whatever you need from me kid, I'm here."
"Thanks Al." Jay opens up the door and calls Atwater over.
"What's up Sarge?"
"I need you to out an APB out for Bunny Fletcher and also an amber alert for Nadia Halstead."
Atwater looks at him in shock but nods his head in agreement. "You alright Sarge?"
Jay lets out a sigh, "Just get it done."
"Will do." Kevin looks between Al and Jay before turning and walking toward his desk to make the call.
Kim makes her way over to Jay but before she can say anything Jay interrupts her, "Where's Erin?" Jay asks in a tight voice.
Kim looks up at him with a surprise in her face at his tone, "She and Upton are finishing up with the suspect."
Jay nods his head and moves toward the interrogation room but before he can Kim grabs his hand and stops him, "Jay…I-" She sees the look in his eyes and says, "What do you need me to do?"
"You can help Atwater. The sooner we find Bunny the sooner we find Nadia." Kim nods her goes to help Atwater.
Al follows Jay as he heads down the hallway to the interrogation room. Before he makes it to the room Al pulls him aside, "We're going to find her. You hear me."
Jay nods his head, "Can you call Hank and see if has found anything else about Bunny."
"No problem kid." Al places a hand on Jay's shoulder, "Hey." Jay lifts his head up and looks at Al. "She's going to need you to be the strong one right now."
"I know." Jay replies in a shaky voice as he hangs his head.
Al gives Jay one last look and turns and walks away. Jay watches the older man leave and takes a deep breath and knocks on opens the to the interrogation room. He opens the door and walks in. He looks over at Erin and says, "Can I talk to you for a minute?"
"We're just finishing up give me a minute." Erin says glances up at Jay.
"I need you now." Jay says in a stern voice leaving now room for negation.
Hailey looks between the two and then back at Erin. "Erin, I got this."
Erin nods her head and moves toward the open door. As soon as the door is shut Erin turns to Jay. "What is going that couldn't wait a couple of minu…"
Jay cuts her off. "Erin…"
By the way he says her name she knows that something bad has happened, "What?" She says as dread begins to set inside her.
"Nadia's missing."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Erin's whole world comes crashing down around her. Her legs give way but before she hits the ground Jay catches her. "Erin." Jay holds her and pulls her closer, "Erin, we're going to find her. I promise."
…
Bunny listens as the little girl in the backseat hummed away without a care in the world. She left out a soft sigh wishing that she could be that carefree but at least in true Bunny fashion she has gotten herself into some hot water. She'd been watching Hank pick up Nadia from school for a couple of days now and she couldn't stop the rage that flooded her body as she watched the two of them together. It should have been her spending time with Erin and her family but she was an outcast once again thanks to Hank Voight. It wasn't enough that Hank took Erin from her now he was stealing her granddaughter. Bunny couldn't understand how Hank could be forgiven for all his sins but she always had to pay for hers.
When Bunny saw Erin again after three years she figured this was her chance to make things right again. But Erin wanted nothing to with her and it hurt. All she ever did was try and help Erin but she wasn't appreciative. When her friend Nadia died Bunny dropped everything to take care of her and Erin let her. She had finally gotten her daughter back but no Hank and Jay had to come and take her way from her again. But Bunny wasn't going to give up that easily though. She had gotten a second chance and she wasn't going to waste it. She just had to show Erin that she had changed.
So, she called Teddy and gotten Erin's number and tried calling her but Erin refused to pick up the phone and that pissed Bunny off. She went to a lawyer and found out that she had rights as a grandparent so she filed the papers in hope that Erin would call and the two of them would work this out. But instead she got a call from some lawyer on Erin's behalf stating that Erin and Jay had fired back on her claim for grandparents rights. She couldn't believe them. They were trying to paint her as unfit when they allowed their child around Hank Voight. In Bunny's opinion Hank was just as bad as she was but he had some kind of magical hold over Erin.
She wasn't thinking clearly when the idea came to her to take Nadia. She was coming down off of a high, parked outside of the school again waiting for Hank to pick up Nadia but he never came. She saw this as an opportunity and she took it. All she really wanted was to talk to Erin and be a part of Erin's life.
After she got Nadia in the car was when the real panic began to set in. What had she done? Erin was going to be pissed and when Hank finds out this was going to be the end of her. She needed to fix this but she couldn't think straight. She just need something to take the edge of so she could focus. Yeah, just a little something and then she would come up with a way to fix this. She'd pulled up outside of a friend's house and turned the car off. She turned to face Nadia who was playing with the stuff animal that she had gotten the little girl.
Nadia looked out the window and then back at Bunny with a frown on her face, "I thought you said that we were going to see mommy and daddy."
Bunny closed her eyes and sighed, "We will in just a little bit. I just need to talk to my friend real quick." Bunny says as she points to a man standing on the sidewalk. "You're going to stay right here and when I get back then we are going to see mommy and daddy."
"And Poppa?" Nadia says with excitement gleaming in her eyes.
Bunny fights the urge to roll her eyes, "And Poppa too." She turns and grabs her purse and opens the door. A few minutes later Bunny's is back gets back in the car. She throws her purse into the passenger seat and opens the baggy that she got from her friend. She takes the pills out and holds them into her hands. Bunny glances in the rear view mirror and contemplates not taking them for a split second. She looks down at her phone as it sits turned off in her console. She stares at the phone, and thinks she can still make things right. All she had to do was pick up the phone and call Erin. As quickly as the thought enters her mind it leaves. Bunny lets out dry laugh and shakes her head. Erin is never going to forgive her for this. Without a second thought she takes the pills hoping that they will help take the edge off. She turns on the car pulls out of the parking spot. She glances in the rearview mirror and sees Nadia eyeing her.
"You ready to go see you mom and dad?"
Nadia looks intensely at Bunny before she lets out a quiet, "Yeah."
Bunny nods her head and turns back to the road, with a plan in motion. It's a crazy plan but what other choice does she have. She will just drop Nadia off close to the district and high tail it out of town before Erin of Hank can find her. "Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I will do." She says as she talks to herself.
Nadia holds the bunny tightly in her arms as a chill runs down her spine. She hopes that she will see her mommy and daddy soon because she really doesn't like being with this lady.
They had been on the road for a bit now when Nadia lets out a soft whimper as tears fill the little girls eyes.
Bunny turns to look at her. She opens her mouth to speak but before she can Nadia screams fill her ears. Bunny turns back around to see what the child was looking at, a car his heading at them in full speed before Bunny can register what is happening the car makes an impact with hers and her world goes black.
…
Will rubbed his tired eyes and picked up the iPad as he goes over his last chart before he leaves for the day. It had been a bust day in the ED and he was absolutely exhausted. He wanted nothing more than to go home and go to sleep and that's exactly what he indented to do. He vaguely hears the sound of the ambulance pulling up outside of the doors of the ED. He just finished up with the iPad before handing it off to one of the nurses and headed to the locker room to gather his stuff to head home.
"Dr. Halstead."
Will stopped in his tracks and turns his head over his shoulder, "Maggie, my shift is over and I'm heading home." He hears his name being called again but this time it's not Maggie.
"Will!" Natalie says with urgency in her voice. "I need you." Hearing the serious tone in Natalie's voice, Will turns and follows her to outside the examination room. "She was just brought in after being involved in a car accident."
Will looks at her with confusion on his face before enters the room and sees the little girl laying in the hospital bed.
"Hi, Uncle Will." Nadia says in a small voice.
…
Erin shakes her head, "I can't believe this is happening. What is she trying to gain by taking Nadia?"
Hank walks over to Erin and places his hands on her arms, "She's desperate and in her mind taking Nadia makes since."
Erin pulls away from Hank, "I should have known that she would do something crazy. This all my fault."
Jay steps up next to Erin and turns to look at him, "Hey, this is not your fault. The only person's who's fault this Bunny." He places his hand on her face. "We have everybody got looking for them. But I promise you this we are going to find them." Erin nods her head and allows Jay to pull her into his arms.
The phone rings and Hailey picks it up, "Yeah, he's right here." Hailey over at Jay and Erin, "Jay it's Will."
He pulls away from Erin, "Tell him I'll call him back."
Hailey holds the phone in her hand covering the mouth piece, "He says it's important."
Jay sighs and lets go of Erin and walks over to Hailey's desk. He takes the phone from her and holds it up to his ear, "Will, now's not a good time."
"Nadia was just brought into Chicago Med."
"What?!" At the sound of Jay yelling everyone in the bullpen turns their attention toward him.
"She was involved in a car accident with Bunny."
"Is Nadia ok?" At the sound of her daughter's name Erin makes her way over to Jay.
"She's ok."
Wil's words allowed the feeling of relief to Jay, "We'll be right down."
…
Erin and Jay rushed through the doors of the ED with Hank and the rest of the Intelligence unit behind them. They quickly spotted Will and made their way over to him. Will looks up to see them approaching.
"Where is she?" Is she ok?" They both say at the same time.
"She's ok and she's resting in the room right over there." Will says as he points to the room right behind him. They try and make their way to their daughter's room but are stopped by Will.
"What." Erin says looking up at Will. "I just want to see my daughter."
"I know but there is some things you guys need to know before you see her. She's ok but she does have fracture wrist….
Before Will can finish Erin interrupts him, "I thought you said she was ok."
"Guys, she is. It's a simple fracture. They've already closed the reduction and I was getting ready to head in there to start her cast." Will looks between the two of them. "I promise you she is ok."
They both let out a sigh of relief, "Thanks, Will." Jay says as he lays a hand on his brother shoulder.
"Yeah, thank you." Erin says as she pulls Will into a hug. They pull apart and Erin and Jay head toward Nadia's room.
Hank grabs Will before he can walk off, "Where's Bunny?"
Will sighs, "There's an officer posted outside her door. When paramedics arrived at the scene she was unconscious but she regained consciousness on the way here. They're running a few test on her and once she is cleared they'll be taking her into custody."
Hanks nods his head and gets ready to speak but Will interrupts them, "I have go and start Nadia's cast. Are you coming? I'm sure Nadia would love to see you."
Hank smiles, "I'll be there in a minute doc."
Will nods his head and heads off into the direction of Nadia's room.
…
As soon as they walked into the room a little voice cried out, "Mommy!"
"Oh, baby." Erin said as tears filled her eyes as she rushed to her daughter's side, pulling her into a side hug while being careful of her arm.
Jay slowly made is way over to join his family. When he reached his daughter he leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on the top of head, "Hey munchkin."
Nadia looks up at him, "Hi, daddy."
Will walks into the room, "How's my favorite niece doing?"
Nadia looks up and smiles at him, "Good."
"Alright, you ready to get your cast on?" Will says as the nurse helps him gather the materials.
"Yeah, it's a pink one right?"
Will lets out a small laugh, "Of course." Will moves to sit on the stool and rolls it over to the bed as Jay moves out of his brother's way. "Alright, kiddo this isn't going to take long and afterward you are going to have an awesome cast to show for it."
Jay looks over at Erin, "I'm going to see what's keeping Hank. I'll be right back." Erin nods her head at him. Jay walks over to his two favorite girls and places a kiss on each one of their heads and head out the room.
As Will works the room the silence in the room is broken by a little voice, "Is the lady okay?" Nadia asks.
Will looks up at Erin as her brows furrow her eyebrows in confusion, "What lady?"
Nadia looks up at her mother, "Bunny. The lady who picked me up from school today."
Erin tries to keep her emotions in check as she looks at her daughter, "I'm sure she's fine. Mommy was more worried about you." Erin places a kiss on her daughter's head. She looks down at her daughter and sees the worried expression on her face. "Why don't I go check and see how's she doing?"
A smile appears on Nadia's face at her mother's words. Erin returns the smile and heads out the room. As soon Erin walks out of the room she finds Jay and Hank involved in a conversation. Jay spots her first and asks, "Is everything okay with Nadia."
Erin nods her head, "Yeah. Our sweet daughter wanted to make sure that Bunny was okay." Erin replies with distain in her voice.
Erin watches as Jay and Hank share a knowing look between each other, "What?" Erin says in her raspy voice, "What's going on?"
Hank let out a sigh, "They found drugs in Bunny system."
Jay watched as raged filled Erin's eyes, "Erin…"
"Where is she?" Erin asked her voice rising in anger. No sooner than the words leave her mouth she sees Bunny exit the room with an Ruzek in handcuffs. Erin makes her way over to Bunny with fire in her eyes. Ruzek glances over his shoulder just in time to see Erin making approaching them. He stops and backs away a little as Erin grabs Bunny and turns her around.
Bunny barely has time to think before she is yank by the arm. She turns around with wide eyes and notices her daughter is the one that grabbed her. She tries to speak but all she can manage is "Erin…" before she feels hard slap come across her face. Bunny pulls her shackled hands up to her stinging cheek.
Jay moves toward Erin and places a hand on her on her shoulder, "Erin."
She shrugs his hand off and continues, "All my life I defended you. Every questionable thing that you did. Buying drugs for you, trying to revive you after you overdosed. Everyone told me what a horrible mother you were but still I made excuses for you. I even made a deal with the FBI to save your skin." Erin let's out a dry laugh and shakes her head. "But this time you have gone too far." Erin's voice begins to raise, "You took my child, my child! And then decided to get in a car with her while you were high."
Tears begin to fill in Bunny eyes as Erin talks, "I'm so-"
Bunny couldn't even finish before Erin cuts her off and yells, "Did I say you could talk!"
…
The sound of Erin's yelling fills Nadia's room. She turns to her uncle Will with wide eyes, "Mommy sounds mad. Did Bunny do something bad?" She asks in a small voice.
Will looks up at her as he finishes her cast, "Yeah, she did kiddo but it's nothing for you to worry about." He says as he gets up from the stool and pats her on the leg. "I'm all done with your cast." He looks over at her what do you think.
Nadia looks down and then back up at her Uncle Will with sad eyes, "Can you get mommy for me?"
Will nods his head, "Sure, I can. Why don't you rest up and I'll go grab your mom and dad so you can so them your new cast." Will says smiling at Nadia. She gives him as small nod. Will heads out the room and closes the door behind him.
He watches as the woman who will someday be his sister in law gets right in her mother's face. "This is the last time I'm going to say this you and me are done! You are not going to have the opportunity to hurt her like you hurt me. No more excuses, no more defending you. As far as I'm concerned you are dead to me. If you ever come near me or my family again…"
Erin's warning is cut off by Will voice, "Erin."
Erin hears her name being called but ignores it. She goes to speak again but stops when she hears Will's voice again, "Nadia's asking for you."
At the sound of her daughter's name all the fight leaves Erin's body. She gives Bunny one last look and turns to head toward her daughter's room. Jay gets ready to say something lay into Bunny but shakes his head instead, "You know I was going to finish what Erin started but you're not worth the breath." With that Jay turns and walks away from her also.
Bunny looks over at Hank who is just standing there watching her, "What? You got nothing to say?" She lets out a laugh, "Congratulations! You won!" Bunny says clapping her hands. "You got what you always wanted, My daughter wants hates me and what's nothing to do with me."
Hank shakes his head at her as he moves closer to her, "You still don't get it do you?" He pauses, "You brought this own yourself. Erin has done nothing but love and defend you but you just kept disappointing her over and over again. This is your fault and no one else." He looks over at Ruzek, "Get her out of here." Ruzek nods his head in acknowledgement and leads her out the doors of Chicago Med. Hank watches Bunny until she is out of sight.
"I hear there's a little girl waiting to see her Poppa." Hank turns around at the sound of Will's voice. He nods his head in acknowledgement and follows Will as he walks into the direction of Nadia's room.
As soon as he walks into the room hears the voice he has been longing to hear ever since he found out Bunny had her. "Poppa!" For the first time today a smile appears on Hank's face.
"How's Poppa's favorite girl?"
Nadia gives him a smile, "Good. Look at my cool cast."
"Wow. You such a brave girl." He says as he moves over to her and gives her a kiss on the top of her head.
Jay looks up at his brother, "So when can we get out of here?"
"As soon as I get your discharge papers. You'll be free to go."
Jay turns toward Nadia, " You hear that munchkin, we can go home."
Excitement fills Nadia's eyes as she exclaims, "Yes!" As all the adults in the room share a laugh after and extremely long day.
…
Later that evening the small family entered their home utterly exhausted. Erin shuts the door the door and locks it. She turns around and stares at Jay's back as he carries there little girl in his arms as she lays fast asleep on his shoulder. Her eyes fall to the pink cast that's hanging off to the side of Jay's arm. Her breath hitches and tears begins to fill her eyes. As he walks out of her view the thoughts begin to enter her mind that today could have ended worse. She could have lost her daughter in that accident. Erin shakes those thoughts from her mind and focuses on the fact that her daughter is alive and well, though a little injured. She takes a deep breath, wipes the tears that have fallen and follows the path that Jay took to Nadia's bedroom.
As she enters the room she stops in the door way and watches as Jay careful changes their daughter into her pajamas so he doesn't wake her. A smile appears on her face as she watches him pull the covers back and gently places her in and covers her up. She watches him place a gentle kiss on her forehead and whispers, "I love you." He pulls back into a standing position and stares down at his daughter as her chest rises and falls.
Feeling the emotion coming off of Jay in waves Erin walks over to him and places her hand on his back and moves it up and down in a soothing motion. She places a gentle kiss on his shoulder and turns back to watch their daughter, "She's okay."
He nods his head and swallows a lump in this throat. His voice cracks as he speaks, "I know. It's just going to take me some time to believe it."
"Trust me, I get." She says as he moves the hand that has been running up and down his back and runs it through the back of his hair. "Why don't you go take a shower. I want to sit with her for a little while."
He nods his head but doesn't leave his spot. The two of them stand there in silence as they watch their daughter sleep. Jay stays there for a five more minutes before he places a gentle kiss on Erin's lips and heads out the room. As he turns to walk out of the room Erin moves to the other side the bed and crawls in with Nadia and wraps her arm around her sleeping daughter. Jay stops in the doorway to the room and watches his family for few more minutes.
Sometime later Jay walks into the living room after his shower and finds Erin curled up on the couch nursing a beer. When she spots him she leans forward and grabs the beer that she has for him and holds it up for him to take. He falls into the spot next to Erin on the couch and lets out a huge sigh. He takes a drink of his beer and the two of them sit in silence. He hears Erin's breath hitch as her breathing begins to pick up. He places his beer on the coffee and takes hers from her and places it next to his. He pulls her into arms as tears begin to fill his eyes. Being in the safety of Jay's arms Erin let's out every emotion that she has been feeling for the past several hours. Her cries begin to quiet as she whispers, "Why can't she see what she is doing to me? All I ever wanted was for her to love me and be a mom but all she does is hurt me."
Jay places a kiss on her head, "I don't know Erin. Maybe she just doesn't know how to love. Maybe she's just to broken."
"Yeah." She lets out a sigh, "I just can't believe she did what she did."
Jay strokes her back, "Neither can I but I'm just glad we have Nadia back and that's she's safe and sleep in her bed. Bunny is going away for a long time and both of my girls are safe from her."
"You're right. She's finally out of our lives." Erin lets out a harsh breath, "I feel like this has been the longest day of my life." Erin says as she settles herself against him and lays her head on his chest.
Jay stretches his legs out and places them on the coffee. "I was thinking maybe we need to go away for a couple of days." Erin lifts her head off of his chest and looks at him. "I just think that with everything that happened today that maybe we need to get out of Chicago for a couple days and decompress."
"I think that's a great idea actually." She smiles down at him, Where should we go?"
Jay runs hand down her arm, "I was thinking that maybe we go the cabin in Wisconsin. I've always wanted to take you there but we never had the chance."
A genuine smile appears on Erin's face, "I think that's a great idea. I've always wanted to see the place that you so passionate about and now we get to share as a family." She says as she settles herself back onto his chest.
…
When they first pulled up to the cabin Erin immediately fell in love with it. It was beautiful and not at all what she expected. As Jay lead them through the cabin, Erin was coming to the realization that this place that Jay had described to her a couple of years ago. This was a three bedroom cabin, with a fire place in the living room. The interior of the cabin was completely remodel to look more up to date but still had that log cabin feel to it. The more she saw of this place the more she fell in love. "This place is amazing. I honestly don't remember you describing it like this."
Jay laughs, "My grandfather did a lot of improvements over the years. And continued the tradition. So, I take it by the look on your face you wouldn't mind retiring here."
She smiles at him, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind it at all." He leans down and places a kiss on her lips.
The sound of a dog barking and little feet running through the cabin breaks them apart, "Mommy. There's a big pool out back."
Jay and Erin laugh, "That's not a pool sweet pea, it's called a lake."
"Oh." She says with wide eyes, "Can we go see it?"
"Yup" Jay says as he walks over to Nadia and lifts her up into his arms. Ollie and Erin trail behind them as the family makes there way outside to check out the lake. The outside was just as amazing as the inside. As she looked up at the outside of the back of the cabin she noticed a huge balcony that covered the back of the cabin. Erin knew she was going to enjoy morning sitting outside on the balcony with a cup of coffee watching the sun come up. She hears Jay calling her name and she makes her way down the pathway to the small dock. As she walks she takes in the quiet moment with her family Erin knows that they are going to enjoy making a lot memories in this place.
The last two days flew by as the little family spent their time on the lake fishing, taking walks and spending quality time together. Tonight was their last night at the cabin. They had just finished watching Tangled with Nadia. Jay was currently in the kitchen cleaning up the dinner dishes as Erin went to put Nadia to bed.
Erin stood in doorway to Nadia's room watching her sleep with Ollie curled up at the end of her bed. She let a small laugh the two of them were inseparable and now even more so since Nadia was injured. Ollie was her protector following her ever where she went. She takes one last look and quietly closes the door and makes her way down stairs.
She watches Jay as stands with his back toward her as he finishes up the last of the dinner dishes. She smiles to herself as she thinks of what a good house husband he makes. She makes her way into the kitchen, "It's our last night here so what do you want to do now that the little munchkin's asleep?"
He grabs the dish towel and dries his hands off and turns around to face her. "I thought that you and I could grab a bottle of wine and relax in front of the fire place.
Erin walks over to him and places her hands on his chest and gives him a flirty smile, "I think that is a great idea. I'm going to go and change into some comfy clothes. Meet you in front of the fire place in five."
Jay nods his head and places a quick kiss on her lips. He watches her leave the room with a smile on his face. He goes and grabs the wine glasses from the cabinet and the bottle of wine from the frig. He heads to the living room and places the glasses and the wine on the coffee table. He lights a couple of candles and pours the wine into each glass. He goes over to his phone and pairs it to echo dot to play some soft background music. He glances around the room to make sure everything is perfect. He looks over at the stairs to see if she is coming down. When he doesn't see her, he reaches his hand into pocket and pulls out the ring box. He opens it up and stares at the ring with a huge smile. He hears her coming down the steps and quickly closes the box and slips it back into his pocket.
They have been sitting here for a while now just talking with each other. Jay had is back up against the couch with Erin sitting in between his legs with a blanket wrapped around there legs. "I want some ice cream." Erin says breaking Jay out of his thoughts. He lets out a chuckle at her as he gets up and heads into the kitchen.
As soon as she's out of sight Jay gets down on one knee and pulls the ring box from his pocket. He takes a deep breath and opens the box and waits for her return. Erin walks back in with the living room looking down at the ice cream in her hand, "I just brought the hole container I figured we could shar-" The rest of her sentence is caught off as she looks up from the ice cream and sees Jay down on one knee with a ring. She drops the ice cream and spoon on the floor as her mouth opens in shock.
"I always promised myself that if you ever came back to me that I wouldn't waste my second chance with you. I love you Erin Lindsay and I always will. I love our daughter and I want nothing more than for us to be a family and for you to become my wife. So, Erin Lindsay, will you marry me?"
Erin looks down at Jay with tears in her eyes. She nods her head and says, "Yes." Jay gets up onto his feet and pulls Erin into a passionate kiss. They pull apart as Jay slides the ring onto her finger.
"Do you like?"
She looks up at him with a huge smile on her face, "Like it? I love it."
"Good. Our daughter helped me pick it out."
She looks up at him with recognition in her eyes. A smile appears on her face, "Your daddy/daughter day." Jay lets out a laugh. "That's what you two were keeping from me."
He smiles at her, "Well, did you like your surprise?"
She looks at him with flirty smile and says, "Why don't I show you how much I like my surprise." She leans up and captures his lips in an intense kiss. Jay effortless lifts her up into his arms as her wraps her legs around his waist. Erin spends the night showing Jay just how much she loves her surprise.
