This chapter has some of the characters from Chicago Fire included in it so I hope that you enjoy seeing that.
I hope that you enjoy this chapter! Stay safe out there everyone.
A little over three weeks had passed since their trip to Virginia Beach, the rest of their time in Virginia Beach was spent doing much of the same. Many hours were spent in the back garden having fun with Tim's family and Hailey's parents. The little holiday down in Virginia Beach had done a lot of good for both Jay and Hailey, both of them really enjoying being down of the coast. Hailey had spent more time asking Alice about her experiences as a new mother , the more Hailey learnt off of Alice the more her nerves started to disappear, and those nerves were just replaced by an increasing excitement in her body, not only about becoming a mother but just life in general. Hailey was just so excited for the future with Jay and their family.
Hailey was now seventeen weeks along, and she was quickly realising that it was true that the second trimester was the most comfortable. Since getting back from Virginia Beach Hailey was feeling better than at any point in her pregnancy so far. The early pregnancy woes that disappeared, her energy was slowly increasing each day that passed by and she wasn't having to run to the toilet every five minutes. Hailey baby bump had continued developing at a good pace, it was now clear that she was pregnant regardless of what clothes she wore. Hailey had now mainly resorted to wearing comfy leggings and Jay's hoodies to work and around the house, the majority of her clothes were starting if not already too tight to wear, something which she couldn't help be a little disappointed at.
Hailey and Jay both woke up at the same time, blinded by the early morning sun that invaded their bedroom on a sunny June Tuesday morning. "Good morning babe. How are you and our baby feeling this morning?" Jay questioned, his voice slightly groggy as he smiled down at the blonde beauty that was tucked into his side, he found himself getting lost in Hailey's sparkling blue eyes.
"Why don't you ask he or she for yourself babe? I'm sure our baby would love to hear the voice of their daddy." Hailey replied, looking up to Jay with a small smile.
Without responding Jay gently moved himself from underneath Hailey as he moved down the bed, stopping in line with her bump. He lifted her shirt and gently placed his hand on her bump, slowly running his hand along the smooth soft skin of her bump. "Hey little one, it's your daddy here, your mommy is also awake as well." Jay paused for a moment as he looked back towards Hailey with a big smile, he took Hailey's hand in his as he moved their hands back down to her bump.
"I hope you got some rest little one because you and your mommy are at work again today. You're going to be spending another day with your uncle Mouse, and I know how much you enjoy being around your uncle Mouse. Make sure you look after your mommy for me, especially when I'm not there with her. I love you so so much and I'm so excited for when you arrive into our lives." Jay ended by placing a light kiss against Hailey bump before planting another kiss on the back of her hand.
Jay moved back up the bed and Hailey quickly returned to her position on his chest, unable to contain the growing smile on her face. "I love it so much when you do that babe." Hailey admitted, tightening her grip on their locked hands.
"Me too Hails, it just make me feel that little bit closer to our baby." Jay replied, he turned over to grab his phone looking for the time. "Come on Hails, we better get ready. I'm guessing that you're going to be stealing another one of my hoodies today?" Jay teased, earning a glare and a slight chuckle from Hailey. "To be honest you look better in them than I do Hails." Jay admitted with a charming smile on his face, earning another slight laugh from Hailey.
Hailey and Jay arrived at the station a little early, they were just about to settle in and enjoy a morning coffee when Voight ordered Jay to drop by med, mentioning something about an incident with a member of firehouse 51. Jay caught Rojas on the way down to his truck and they both headed for the hospital.
"So you've got no idea what this is about?" Vanessa questioned just as Jay pulled into a space at med.
"Nope, Voight just received a call from Boden saying someone from 51 was in trouble and he needed someone urgently down at med. It could be anything to be honest." Jay replied as they jumped out of his truck ad headed for the ED.
As Jay and Rojas entered the waiting room at med they were met by numerous members from 51 in the waiting room, to Jay's relief they didn't look overly worried, whatever was going on didn't seem too serious. "Thanks for stopping by Halstead, Rojas." Chief greeted them at the door to the ED, shaking both of their hands.
"No problem chief. What's going on?" Jay questioned as he, Rojas and Boden stepped aside for a moment.
"It's Chloe, Cruz's wife. She was attacked by someone in an alleyway. Thankfully she isn't too badly injured but she's pretty shaken up. I didn't want some beat cop on this so I asked Voight for his help, if there's anyone that will find the people responsible it's you guys." Boden explained.
"I'm glad you called us chief, we will find this bastard that did this." Jay replied firmly.
Jay and Vanessa left the chief and the rest of 51 in the waiting room and headed for Chloe's room. Jay knocked on the door quietly making sure not to scare an already jumpy Cruz and Chloe. "Hey guys, we were wondering if we could ask you a few questions Chloe. We can come back later though if you're not feeling up to it." Jay spoke softly, his voice quiet.
"No it's fine. I want to tell you now so you have the best chance of finding whoever did this to me." Chloe responded, her voice was quiet, weak and her hands were trembling slightly against the blanket that was covering her. The look in her eyes reminded Jay of when he first found Hailey in the back of the surveillance van after she had been shot at, Chloe's eyes screamed fear, she looked terrified and almost broken as she lay there in the hospital.
"Ok then, can you run us through everything that you remember. Take your time if you need it." Jay replied, once again in a soft calm voice as he offered Chloe a small smile attempting to reassure her that she was safe.
"I had just finished at a coffee shop with my friend and I was waiting for Joe to pick me up after his shift. I was just texting Joe to see where he was when someone bumped into my side, knocking my phone and purse on the floor. The man was apologising and kneeled down to help me pick my things up when someone came behind me and pushed me into the alleyway besides us. The man who bumped into joined the other person who came behind me and they started kicking and punching me on the floor. I must have blacked out or something because the next thing I knew I was in the back of an ambulance with Joe." Chloe explained, she had managed to stay strong while she explained what happened to Jay but as soon as she stopped the emotions flooded through her body and she started crying. Joe quickly moved up onto the bed and cradled his wife in his arms, Jay and Rojas turned away and stepped down allowing the couple some privacy.
Jay and Rojas returned a few moments later after hearing Cruz call them back in. "Chloe I'm sorry that I have to ask this but did they try and sexually assault you in anyway?" Jay questioned a little hesitantly, Jay's eyes immediately caught onto the look of horror on Cruz's face.
"No, definitely not. They were just kicking and punching me from what I remember." Chloe quickly replied, a look of relief washing over Jay and Cruz's faces as they took in her words.
"Do you remember what these men looked like? Any tattoos or other distinctive features?" Jay questioned.
"I didn't get a look at the person who came behind me but I saw the person who bumped into me originally, he was probably the same height as you but a little bit bulkier. He had some sort of tattoo on his neck and his left hand. They were both speaking Spanish when they were attacking me." Chloe explained trying her best to not break down again.
"Thank you Chloe, that's given us a lot to work on. We will leave you to rest up now but I'll have a uniform stay outside your room to make sure nothing will happen to you going forward. Let us know if there is anything else you can remember that you think might help us." Jay replied, sharing a small smile with Cruz just before leaving the room.
Jay and Vanessa walked back past the members of firehouse 51 on the way out, before leaving Jay pulled Severide to the side. "Severide, keep an eye on Cruz for me. I know when a person is boiling on the inside and I could see that in Cruz's eyes." Jay started off firmly.
"I will don't worry Jay. You can't blame him though, his wife was attacked by a couple of scumbags for no reason. If that happened to either Hailey or Stella you know exactly how we would be feeling." Severide fired back.
"I know Severide, I would be absolute boiling but make sure he doesn't do anything stupid that puts himself in danger. That goes for you as well Severide, I don't want to be coming back here with you in a hospital bed. Let us do our jobs and keep Cruz grounded, and if there is any new information you or anyone else finds out I'm your first call, do you understand?" Jay fired back firmly, he wasn't trying to be harsh or snappy with his friends from 51, he was trying to keep them safe.
Jay and Vanessa headed straight back to the station after leaving med, once back Jay headed straight for Voight's office to brief him on what was going on. "Right Everyone listen up, we've got a new case. Halstead fill everyone in." Voight announced as he entered the bullpen from his office, Jay trailing behind as they stopped by the case board.
"So this morning Chloe Cruz, Joe Cruz's wife, was attacked by two men while she was waiting for Cruz to pick her up after his shift. Thankfully her injuries aren't too serious and she'll recover fully from her injuries. Chloe caught a glimpse of one of the attackers and described him as around 5'10 with an average build. He had a tattoo on his left hand and his neck. When they were attacking Chloe she said that they were speaking Spanish." Jay explained as he wrote down the details on the case board.
"Before we continue any further, someone that we're close to has been targeted and attacked. We're going to find the scumbags responsible for this one way or another, I don't care whether these two people are brought in dead or alive. So if any of you have any doubts about whether you want to be involved in this, now is the time to say." Voight spoke out, his voice firm and strong. No one stepping forward to back out.
"What's the motive behind the attack?" Ruzek questioned from his place at his desk.
"It didn't seem like a robbery because they didn't steal any of Chloe's belongings that she had on her. So this is leaning towards a targeted attack as part of some revenge on Chloe or Joe. One theory I've had is that it's some sort of delayed revenge attack aimed at Joe for his brother's involvement in helping take down a kingpin on murder. A young girl was murdered in a drive by shooting in Cruz's neighbourhood so Leon went back into the 'Insane Kings' and helped get a confession from the person who killed the girl." Jay explained.
"Right let's start there everyone. Mouse look through any camera feeds that were active around the time of the attack. Hailey start looking through files and look into anyone who has an affiliation with the 'Insane Kings'. Halstead, Rojas and Burgess head to the crime scene, talk to business owners and their staff, people who live on the street, someone must have seen something during the time before and after the attack. Atwater and Ruzek, I want you to look into anyone who might have something against Chloe Cruz, there is no guarantee that this is the work of the insane kings so I want all bases covered. Now get to work." Voight barked out his orders before returning to his office.
The next few hours were spent doing good old fashioned police work, Jay, Vanessa and Burgess spent a while going from door to door around the crime scene. Each little snippet of information from different sources was slowly helping to build the bigger picture to what had happened. Mouse managed to find a clear picture of the first male who bumped into Chloe, he was known as Laturo Martinez, a big gang banger from the insane kings when under the control Flacco all those years ago. Since then Martinez had been a ghost, no known address, no mobile or anything that could link him to a location.
The team worked late into the evening trying to find Martinez and identify the second offender, Jay and Hailey worked through all of the known gang bangers with affiliations to the insane kings and by the end of the night they had narrowed it down to three possible offenders based on height and weight.
The team called it a day on that note, everyone was in need to a little break and a drink after what had been a frustrating day of finding many dead ends in the case. They were optimistic though, the breakthrough of identifying Laturo Martinez had provided a much needed boost.
It was the next morning and both Jay and Hailey were feeling refreshed after a good night of sleep. They were taking a break from the case for a moment as they were heading for med for another ultrasound scan. This was quickly becoming the highlight of their week, each time when saw their baby it felt just as if not more special than the previous time.
"You excited Hails?" Jay questioned as they slowly made their way into the hospital, Jay's arm wrapped around Hailey's shoulders as she leaned into his side.
"Of course I am, anytime that we get to see our baby is so exciting and such a special moment to share with you." Hailey replied, her radiant smile beaming as she looked up to Jay. The couple were lost in their own world as they stared into each other's eyes however they were brought back to reality as they almost crashed into Natalie who had just excited the doctor's lounge.
"Hey you guys, come on though and we will get started." Natalie greeted them before leading them to a room, she was completely unaware of the embarrassing moment that could have happened, Jay and Hailey just chuckling it off between themselves.
As they arrived in the awaiting room Hailey pulled off Jay's hoodie and sat down on the bed, lifting her shirt over her bump. "Right Hailey, I know that this is a familiar routine so let's get started. I'll just make sure everything is going well with the baby when you can see the baby." Natalie announced.
Hailey gasped slightly when the cool gel hit her exploded skin, even after the numerous scans she has had so far, she still was unprepared for the sudden shock of the cool gel. Natalie started moving the stick over Hailey's bump, Jay and Hailey's eyes burning holes in the side of Natalie head as they studied her face, praying for some sort of indication that the baby was perfectly healthy.
"Good news, your baby looks perfectly healthy. The rate that your baby is growing and developing is in line with what we expect it to be at. There's nothing that I can see that raises any level of concern so you're all good." Natalie spoke with a big smile on her face as she took in the look of relief and happiness written across the faces of Hailey and Jay. "I'll show you your baby now." Natalie quickly followed up with.
Hailey's eyes started to water slightly as the image of her and Jay's baby was on the screen, she tried to Jay momentarily whose eyes were also covered in a glassy sheen and his lips in a big smile. Jay gripped Hailey's hand tightly as he placed a kiss on the back of her hand.
"He or she is so beautiful." Jay broke the silence as he had to wipe away a couple of tears. Jay could pick out his baby's arms and legs quite easily now, he was still in disbelief to this day that this was his baby. This was a life that he and Hailey had created through their love for one another, a life that he was going to love and treasure for the rest of his life.
"So beautiful." Hailey echoed as she looked on in awe at the sight of her baby. She turned to Jay and pulled his head down to hers, captured his lips with hers as she kissed him passionately, putting all of the happiness and joy that she was feeling in this moment into the kiss. Natalie just sat their awkwardly smiling at the sight of the couple, this was one of the main things why she loved her job, seeing couples filled with happiness at the sight of their unborn baby was so rewarding to witness.
When Jay and Hailey had finally pulled away from one another Natalie had packed up the ultrasound machine and was sitting there with a small smirk on her face. "How have you been feeling lately Hailey?" Natalie questioned.
"Really good, probably the best I've felt throughout my pregnancy." Hailey replied back.
"That's great to hear. The next few weeks you will definitely feel a change, you and your baby are going to start growing quicker than you have been used too which means your appetite will most likely growth so make sure you're getting in enough meals. As your growth steps up a little you're likely to experience back aches, legs cramps and increased tiredness, so just make sure you're still taking it easy and getting enough rest. But over than that everything should run pretty smoothly for a little while, there's a reason why the second trimester is the best so make the most of it." Natalie explained before heading off to get the ultrasound photos sorted for Hailey and Jay.
After Natalie left the room Jay moved onto the bed, pulling Hailey into his side as he ran his hand over her baby bump. "Our baby is so damn lucky to have you as their mother. Everything about you Hails is just perfect and our baby is going to be exactly like you, and I couldn't be happier to have two people that are perfect in every single way in my life. Thank you so much Hailey for giving me everything that I've ever dreamed of." Jay admitted, his eyes watering once again as he placed a kiss on Hailey's forehead.
"Don't forget about yourself mister, our little perfect baby has got the best daddy that he or she could ever dream of. You have given everything I've ever dreamed about as well Jay. You're my best friend, my rock, the love of my life and most importantly the best father to my child I could've asked for. I love you so much, Jay." Hailey replied just before tilting her head so she could capture Jay's lips once again, the two of them falling into a world of total bliss where everything around them was none existent.
By the time Hailey and Jay reached the station the team had made a breakthrough on the case, through Mouse they had managed to track the footsteps of the second attacker and got a good enough picture of his face for facial recognition. It came back to Enrique Gonzales, another known gang banger of the insane kings and one of the three men that Hailey and Jay and narrowed it down to.
The team geared up and headed off for Enrique's last known address, which turned out to be his grandmother's address. The team found Enrique hiding underneath his bed as he had heard all of the commotion coming from downstairs when the team entered the property.
Under some less an orthodox interrogation techniques from Voight, which Enrique came out of with a busted nose, spilt lip and black eye, Enrique gave up Laturo who was the brains behind the attack. Laturo had received word from some of the insane kings in prison that they wanted revenge on Cruz after all of this time. Laturo reached out to Enrique who originally declined after getting out of the gang life but Laturo had offered money which drew Enrique in to do the job. Enrique gave up where Laturo was staying in return for a deal, which Voight reluctantly agreed to.
Voight ordered Halstead and Rojas to head off to the house where Laturo was staying and stake the place out and get a confirmed sighting of Laturo, while the others would arrive shortly after once a sighting was confirmed.
Jay and Rojas rolled up to the house slowly, their eyes furiously scanning the area for any sign of Laturo. In the corner of Jay's eye he spotted something which didn't seem right, there was a car that looked familiar to him but he couldn't place the vehicle. "Rojas, run the plate on that car." Jay demanded, pointing out the familiar vehicle that was parked to the left of the house in question.
"Shit." Rojas mumbled under the breath as she took in the information displayed on her face, when Jay looked back her confused she turned the phone and he instantly understood the reaction. It was Cruz's car.
"Sarge, we've got a problem." Jay radioed into his sergeant.
"What is it Halstead?" Voight's deep emotionless voice filled Jay's truck seconds later.
"Joe Cruz is here, his car is parked down the side of Laturo's house." Jay quickly replied. There was silence for a few moments, no response from Voight and Jay and Rojas just sat there exchanged confused looks with each other. Just as Jay was about to radio in again a chair came flying through the front bay window of the house and landed on the pavement in the street. "Sarge, there some sort of commotion or struggle inside the house. Me and Rojas are going to have to go in." Jay quickly radioed in.
Jay and Vanessa moved out of his tuck and staged at the front door of the house, they could hear shouting coming from inside of the house as well as the crunch of shattered glass being stepped one. Luckily for the two cops the front door was unlocked, giving them the element of surprise. Jay slowly pushed open the door and made his way into the house, there was a path of destruction and splattered blood leading through the hallway and into the living room.
"Chicago PD." Jay yelled as he swiftly got into position in the living room, Jay's eyes instantly locked onto Laturo who had a machete resting against Cruz's throat. Both of the them looked like they had been through ten round in a boxing ring, Cruz had cuts all across his head and arms, all of them varying in size, both of his eyebrows were spilt as well as his bottom lip. Laturo had also seen better days, his nose was swollen and disjointed, one side of his jaw was definitely broken and blood was dripping from his mouth down onto his shirt which was now a mixture of blue and crimson.
"Laturo put the machete down or I swear to god I'll end you." Jay shouted, his voice nasty, harsh and powerful. Jay had the barrel of his gun pointed on Laturo's forehead, he was itching to pull the trigger to save his friend.
"You better back off pig, I have all the power here. You take one step closer this mother fucker gets it." Laturo fired back, his lips formed into an evil devious smile like he had already won the battle against Jay.
"Laturo there is only one way out of this and that outcome isn't going to be pretty for you." Jay argues back, in his head Jay was already calculating all of the risks that taking the shot had. The shot wasn't a hard one, Jay probably could do it with his eyes closed, but the fact that it was Cruz standing with the machete against his throat just made the shot even more complex than it was. "What's your way out of this Laturo? We've got the whole house surrounded in cops that are itching to take you out." Jay continued, his tone of voice sharp and nasty.
Just as Jay finished speaking Laturo reached his boiling point, he pushed Cruz out of the way and revealed a gun that Jay hadn't known about. Before a second even passed Laturo's body crashed against the door of the fridge, blood pouring down his head from a single gunshot wound to the forehead. Jay rushed over to Laturo's limp body, kicking away the gun and the machete before turning to Cruz, who was slumped in the corner of the kitchen putting pressure on a nasty cut on his arm. "Come on Cruz, let's get you out of here and get you some treatment."
Jay helped Cruz up off the floor and slowly helped him through the mess of the house, just as Jay helped Cruz sit down on the curb Voight pulled up, the rest of the team in tow. "Call an ambulance Sarge, Cruz is going to need some help. There's one down inside, GSW to the head." Jay called out from his position next to Cruz.
"I'm sorry Halstead. They went after my wife, I just... I just had to do something." Cruz admitted, his voice sounded defeated and broken.
"I understand you Cruz. Maybe it wasn't the smartest thing to do but I would have done the exact same in your position." Jay replied, his voice calm now, jay placed his hand on Cruz's shoulder, trying to offer him some sort of comfort in what was a difficult time for the firefighter.
"It doesn't feel as good as I thought it would, knowing that the two scumbags who attacked my wife are either dead or in jail."
"It won't Cruz, because I know exactly what you're feeling right now. You feel guilty about what happened to Chloe, you feel like you could have done more even when it wasn't possible to."
"How did you know what I'm feeling like right now?" Cruz questioned, slightly surprised how Jay knew exactly how he was feeling in this moment.
"Because I've been there before Cruz, I've been there on a number of different occasions with Hailey in the past. Every time Hailey has been hurt in the past, even if it's the smallest of cuts, I feel guilty, I feel like I haven't done my best to protect her. You only get that feeling with the people you love, you always feel like you can do better but in reality you've done all you can to protect them. But you can't dwell on that feeling Cruz, because it will eat you alive. You need to be strong now, not only for Chloe but for yourself, you need to move past this and move forward in your lives, the only way is up from here." Jay spoke, he saw a little smile form on Cruz's face, Jay's talk obviously doing some good for the firefighter.
Just as Jay finished speaking he noticed Hailey jumping out of Burgess's car and helping a weak looking Chloe out of the back of the vehicle. "Cruz, there's someone special here to see you." Cruz's head instantly bolted up and his eyes locked onto Chloe's, Cruz shot up like a jack in the box and ran over to Chloe, engulfing her in the biggest hug he had ever given her.
Hailey moved over to Jay, who like many others at the scene had a massive smile on his face as he watched Chloe and Joe sharing a beautiful moment with each other in the middle of the street. "You're amazing babe." Hailey admitted as Jay pulled her into his side, Jay just looked down at her slightly puzzled. "Look at the moment that you've created for them. Not only did you save Cruz's life but I'm pretty sure whatever you were talking to Cruz about when we pulled up has made him feel a damn lot better about everything." Hailey clarified her comment moments earlier.
"We were just talking about the people we love. And you are number one on that list and you'll never be beaten." Jay replied, pulling Hailey tighter against his body as he rested his head against hers.
"I love you so much Jay." Hailey smiled as she continued watching Chloe and Cruz hold onto one another.
It was late at night and Jay and Hailey were settling into the warmth of their bed. Both of them shattered after what had been a tiring but very rewarding day at work. Those moments that they witnessed between Chloe and Cruz were so rewarding, it's one of the reasons why both Jay and Hailey love doing the jobs they do.
The two of them were chatting away about various little things when Hailey felt something strange in her stomach, it was a feeling that she hadn't experienced before during her pregnancy, it felt like a tiny bubble popping inside of her lower abdomen. Hailey brushed it off thinking that it was nothing, but moments later she felt something else, another different feeling. This feeling was slightly more pronounced, it felt like a tiny flutter in her abdomen. Hailey cast her mind onto the one thing that it could be, the thing that her mom had told her to expect soon.
"Jay!" Hailey cut him off, a little louder than she had anticipated. Jay's facial expression turned to one of worry as he set his eyes of Hailey's hand resting over her bump, but before he could say anything Hailey jumped in ahead of him. "I think the baby just kicked Jay, the baby just kicked for the first time." Hailey claimed, her voice full of excitement and happiness.
"What? Really?" Jay replied, unable to formulate a good response as he was in slight shock.
"Yes baby, really. I felt two different feelings, the first felt like a bubble popping then the second was like a little flutter. My mom told me about feeling the baby kick but I didn't expect feel them now." Hailey admitted, her mind was slightly scrambled as well, she didn't know how she was feeling right now. This moment was so special, it was just another memory of her pregnancy that she would treasure for the rest of her life.
"I'm so happy for you Hails." Jay replied as he leaned over and planted a kiss on her forehead. Jay then moved down the bed, pulling back the covers revealing Hailey's baby bump.
"Hey in there little one, it seems like you're having a lot of fun in there. You have just made your mom one very happy woman, she loves every single second that you two share together but each little milestone along this journey makes your mommy very happy and emotional. You and your mommy share a very special bond that I can never experience with you, but I love that you share it with her and I wouldn't want it any other way. Your mommy is doing so much for you that you won't realise, she is making sure that you are the most perfect little healthy baby that we could possibly ask for. Goodnight little one, me and your mommy love you so much."
Jay moved back up the bed, pulling the covers up with him. When he met Hailey's eyes, he saw the glassy sheen covering her eyes, a couple of stray tears rolled down her cheeks as the happiness and joy of the last few minutes got the better of her. Hailey was too caught up in the moment to even string together a sentence, Jay just pulled her into his body, her head quickly finding its place on his chest.
"I love you so much Hailey." Jay whispered against the top of her head.
"I love you too Jay." Hailey replied as she slowly drifted off into a deep sleep.
Before Jay let himself fall asleep he interlocked their hands together and moved them to rest over the top of her bump. Jay quickly fell asleep moments later, both of them holding their baby in their arms.
If any of you are unfamiliar with the 'Insane Kings' storyline for Cruz, it happens during season 1 and 2 of Chicago Fire.
I'll be back with another chapter mostly likely on Monday, I'm really excited about the next chapter as it includes a very special moment for both Jay and Hailey in it. Some of you might be able to guess at what I'm referring to from that little teaser.
I really hoped that you enjoyed this and I hope that it brought you some happiness during a time that is tough for all of us. Stay safe everyone!
