The next morning they woke up in each other's arms. "Good morning.", Jay kissed Hailey's forehead. She slowly opened her eyes, smiling at him. "Good morning."

"Hailey…", he looked at her.

"What? Is something wrong?", she suddenly sat up and looked at him concerned.

"We… We didn't use any protection…", he felt sorry.

"Yeah.. Don't worry about that, okay? I'll just drop you off at the station later and quickly drive to the pharmacy to get the morning-after pill.", she reassured him it was all good.

"Okay.", he smiled at her.

"Would it be so bad if something did happen?", she asked shyly.

"Well...No… But we just started dating.", he answered. It was the first time they referred to each other as a couple.

"You're right." Hailey got up and got dressed. She went to the kitchen to make coffee and waited for Jay to be ready to get to work. She thought a lot about what happened. She loved last night. It was amazing. Of course it was way too early in their relationship but she knew Jay was perfect and she had loved him from the first moment she met him. Whenever they worked with kids, she observed her partner. She loved the way he handled kids and always knew he would be the best father one day.

It was just wishful thinking. It was a terrible point in time to get pregnant. After what had just happened with Kim and her baby and knowing she'd have to give up her job for a long time, she knew it could not happen now.

"Just tell Voight I'll be running late. Don't say where I'm going.", she said, dropping Jay off at the police station.

"Of course. See you in a bit.", he kissed her goodbye and she drove off.

Hailey was at the pharmacy shortly after and walked inside. She felt uncomfortable for asking for this pill. She felt even worse for taking it. She quickly decided to get a pregnancy test and walked to the cashier.

"I need the morning-after pill.", Hailey said. Luckily the cashier was female and just smiled at her.

"Sure, I just need you to answer some questions."

Hailey nodded.

"When did you last have sex?"

"Well, last night... Obviously..."

"Did you use protection?"

"No… We forgot…"

"Alright. When was your last period?"

"About two weeks ago…"

"Have you taken the emergency contraceptive pill before?"

"No. Never."

"Okay.", she quickly got the pill and rung it up. "That'll be 40 dollars."

Hailey was quite shocked by the price of one little pill but she bought it anyway.

In the car she stared at the box.

Did she really want to take this? Did she really want to destroy new life if it's growing inside her?

She decided to not take the pill and just see what happens. She was aware that people take those pills all the time but she just couldn't do it.

Hailey drove back to the station and walked upstairs.

"Oh great, you're finally here, Hailey. Is everything alright?", Adam asked.

"Yeah, all good! Just had to take care of something real quick.", she sat on her desk because her chair was occupied by Jay. "Where are we with the case?", she asked.

"We still got nothing from West nor Miller. Vanessa and Kevin just went to the hospital to get a statement from Samantha. But we digged a little deeper into them and found out that someone at that party was selling the drugs to Miller. Apparently Miller had a fight with a black guy at the party, right before leaving. A girl saw it happening. It was about those stolen drugs.", Adam explained.

"And the guy Miller had a fight with is nowhere to be found.", Jay added.

"Time is running out! If we don't get something soon, we'll have to release Miller and West and I don't want that.", Voight said.

Kevin and Vanessa jogged up the stairs.

"We got something.", Atwater started.

"Samantha is awake and told us everything. She took the drugs from Miller. Apparently it was arranged with him. She remembers being drugged at the party by him and then she passed out at the warehouse. She woke up feeling uncomfortable and knew immediately that she was raped by one of the guys. But she doesn't know what is wrong with the drugs or where Miller gets them from. This was something she never asked him or wanted to know.", Rojas told.

"Okay…", Voight thought for a moment, "Jay, come with me. I think I know how to get Miller to talk."

Jay followed his boss to the interrogation room.

"Antony Miller.", Voight and Jay sat across from him. "Your friend Samantha just confessed everything."

"Shit!"

"You are staring down at a life in prison if you don't help us now.", Jay said.

"Alright. I'm sick of your questions. What do you want to know?", Miller was sick of being held and questioned for the past 24 hours.

"You kidnapped and raped two of your friends over some drugs… What is the deal with the third guy? The one you had a fight with at the party?", Voight asked.

"That guy… I buy the drugs from him. He wanted them back but I had already sold them to Sam. I thought she would give them back to me when I talked to her…"

"Talk to her? You drugged her and put a gun into her face!", Jay said.

"Yeah… Talking… That's what I said. Anyway, when she didn't want to give them back, Mario thought we could do something with the twins. Bea was already unconscious at that moment and Sam was close to passing out. We thought if we couldblackmail Sam by telling her we would rape Bea, she would just give me the drugs before anything happened… Sadly Sam passed out... We have needs, you know. And they were just laying there."

"Oh my God.", Jay buried his face into his good hand. "Please tell me you're joking!?"

Voight stood up and slammed both fists on the table in front of Miller: "I want a name right now! Or Imma throw you down in the cage and…", he started yelling.

"Daniel Lee!", Miller yelled back. He suddenly looked really scared of Voight.

"Thank you.", Jay said and guided Voight out of the room.

"Daniel Lee.", Jay pinned his photo on their wall, "He is in our system for drug possession but that was seven years ago. We don't have a current address or phone number."

"Anything off of facial recognition? Was he at the party?", Kim asked.

"Yeah. He was there but that still doesn't give us a clue on where to find him.", Jay answered.

"Let's talk to the girls again and see if they know more about Lee.", Adam said.

He came back about two hours later with a location on Daniel Lee. The team picked him up and brought him to the cage.

Jay stood in the background while Voight started questioning Daniel:

"Tell us about your business with Antony Miller."

"Well… I know him…", Daniel started.

"Let's cut that shit and start talking! We know that you sell drugs to Miller and you wanted to get some back from him. Why?", Jay stepped forward.

"Okay okay. I sell drugs to him. I'm in trouble! I was supposed to give that load to someone else. James Gray. He threatened to kill me if I didn't give him the drugs by next weekend.", Daniel started talking. He was scared and just wanted to get out of trouble. He confessed he hated dealing drugs but it was the only way he could make money.

"Alright. Set up a date with Gray and tell him you got the drugs. We will arrest him as soon as you give him the drugs.", Voight said.

"Okay… And then I won't be going to prison?", Daniel asked.

"We'll see about that."

The deal was happening the next afternoon. Voight had warned Jay and Hailey to stay in the surveillance van. If one of them walked out he'd fire them.

Both knew he would never fire them so easily but they understood they were still on desk duty and really had to stand back. Jay was happy that Voight let them do field work anyway.

The van where Hailey and Jay were was parked on the other side of the road. Both had perfect view of the scene and Daniel.

Adam and Kim were walking around, looking like tourists, while Voight, Atwater and Rojas were in their cars on the side of the street and waited for the exchange to happen.

Daniel was standing around, wired up, waiting for James Gray to come.

"James is coming from the left.", Jay said through the radio.

"Alright. Everyone stand down until we see James taking the drugs.", Voight instructed.

"Daniel! My friend.", James walked up to Daniel. "Do you have what I want?"

"Yeah. It's all here in my bag.", Daniel said.

"Great." James struck a hand out and waited for Daniel to hand him the bag.

"We're good after that, right?"

"If everything I want is in there, then yeah. Sure."

"Alright.", Daniel slowly handed him the bag.

James took the bag and opened it. "Looks like everything is in here.", he dug deeper in the bag and realized those were fake drugs.

"What is this? Are you kidding me?", James suddenly drew a gun on Daniel.

"Gun! Get James!", Voight yelled into the radio and his team jumped out of their cars and approached James and Daniel.

Jay and Hailey sat upright in their van and watched the action go down.

Daniel was running away but Rojas tackled him down. Adam and Atwater arrested James. Luckily no one got shot.

On Friday evening they celebrated the ending of the case at Molly's. Hailey sat next to Jay while Adam and Kim were sitting opposite of them. Everyone had a bottle of beer in their hand.

"I'm so glad both of you are back!", Kim said.

"Yeah, it's great to be back.", Hailey smiled.

"I can't wait to be back, too!", Jay said.

"So how is your arm? When will you be back on the field with us?", Adam asked.

"Well… After having another surgery two weeks ago and pulling the stunt yesterday of going out there with Hailey on our own… It might still take a while. But the arm is good. Healing and all. Will said I can get the cast off in two weeks and then I have to get my muscles back to normal but I think after those two weeks I'll be fully back.", Jay answered.

"That sounds great! Except for the surgery…", Kim said.

At around 2AM Adam offered to drive Jay home but Hailey covered and said she would do it. None of their colleagues knew that they were living together nor that they were officially dating.

At home they went straight to bed but Jay was wide awake.

"Did you take that pill?", Jay asked, staring at the ceiling.

Hailey was quiet for a moment. Was she going to lie to him now or should she just tell the truth? "No…"

He turned around and looked at her. "Okay."

"Are you mad now?", she also turned and both were looking into each other's eyes.

"I love you, Hailey. If something happened that night, I'd be alright with it.", he put his hand on her belly.

"Maybe we can just repeat that night and accidentally forget the condom on your night stand.", she said.

Jay grabbed Hailey, turned her on her back while jumping on top of her. "Alright."

In between kisses Hailey asked "Are we even ready for this?"

"We're 31. It'll be too late if we wait much longer."

"You're right."

"Just say it and I'll stop.", Jay noticed Hailey being unsure about this. He stopped kissing her and sat up. "Look, you'd have the biggest part in this. If you don't want to get pregnant now or in the near future I understand. We have condoms right here."

"It's not that… I'd love to have a child. And after our first night together I knew you'd be the one. I don't want anyone else to be my baby's father. You would be such a great one."

Jay kissed Hailey. "I love you so much!"

She pulled Jay back down. "Just do it. Let's see what happens sooner or later."

Two weeks later Jay visited Will at the hospital. He'd finally get the cast off.

"Good morning, Will.", Jay greeted his brother and sat on the bed. "I can't wait to get that thing off today! It's so itchy."

"I get that. Let's get it off, do an X-Ray and I might give you a splint to wear while at work. Don't worry, you can go back to full duty if everything is alright.", Will said.

While cutting the cast off Will asked: "So… You and Hailey, huh?"

"Yeah. We're officially together. No one at work knows and I want it to keep it like that for now.", Jay smiled.

When he was finally free of the cast he slowly moved his hand and his arm.

"Any pain?", Will asked.

"No. Feels a bit weird after having a cast there for so long…", Jay looked at his arm and saw the incision for the first time. He had two pinkish spots near the elbow and a 10 centimeters-long scar from his wrist up to the middle of the arm.

"Guess they will always remind me from now on…", Jay added.

"It's normal for your arm to feel like this. And the incisions look good. Fully healed. I'll quickly take an x-ray and see how the bones and the plates are.", Will said.

After Will was finished, he handed Jay the splint and released him. He was cleared for work. Jay walked back to the car. Hailey was already waiting for him. He got inside.

"Nice to see you walking around without that cast.", Hailey smiled at him.

"It feels nice!", Jay was happy. "Did you see Natalie?"

"No…"

"It's alright."

"Yeah I think I'll know if I'm pregnant or not.. I don't think I am right now… It's probably way too early to know.", Hailey started the car and drove home.

After work Jay sat down next to Hailey on the couch. "What's wrong with you? You've been acting weird all day…", Jay was concerned about her.

"I'm alright. It's just…"

"We don't have to try anything… We can use protection and just try another time. Like in a year or two. I'm good with that. I don't want to pressure you into anything. I just want you to be happy."

"That's it. I want this. I would love to start a family but I also don't want to lose my job… You saw what happened with Kim… I don't think I'll be able to sit in the office or call center for months and be home for months and then? What if I don't get back to my old self?", Hailey buried her face in her hands. She knew she'd have to give up one dream. It's either career or family. Having both, pregnant and working in this Unit, would never happen.

"Maybe we should wait, then?", Jay hugged her tightly.

"But then my clock will run out sooner or later… And I don't want to have a baby when I'm 45 and when she graduates high school we'll be like 65 and everyone will think we're her grandparents."

"That won't happen! We still have 15 years until we're 45!", Jay giggled.

"Are you laughing at me?", Hailey looked at him, laughing herself and hitting him in the stomach.

"You're just so cute."

"This is serious!"

"I know.", Jay smiled at her. "And I'm fine with whatever decision you make, alright? Just tell me next time to put a condom on or not."

"Can't you like help me with this decision?", she asked.

"How?"

"What's your take on this? You never told me if you even want a child, yet alone want one with me."

"Listen Hailey. I love you and I wanna spend the rest of my life with you! And yes, I want to have a family with you. Building it now or in some years, I don't care. And if I had a ring here right now I would ask the question but I don't."

After that they went to bed, keeping the protection hidden in the drawer next to the bed.

About a month later everyone was at the Bullpen, Rojas was presenting a new case they caught the night before. Hailey sat on her chair but was totally zoned out. She'd been feeling sick all night and barely slept. Jay was sitting on her desk, as usual, listening carefully. Hailey looked around, everyone would notice her going to the toilet. She just hoped it was a stomach bug and she wouldn't throw up in the office.

She wished.

Moments later she felt the vomit coming up. She covered her mouth and ran to the toilet where she emptied her stomach.

Everyone looked at Jay.

"What?", he asked but he was pretty concerned about his girlfriend. Running after her, following her to the ladies toilet, would look wrong so he let Kim run after her instead.

"What is going on with Hailey?", Adam asked.

"Ehm… Well…", Jay started but didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell everyone they were together. He didn't know if Hailey would approve.

"Whatever it is, Jay, get her home when she is back from the bathroom. She should rest. It's alright, we don't need you for today. It's just a small case.", Voight said.

"Okay. Thanks.", Jay walked out to corridor and stopped before the bathroom doors.

"Hailey? Are you alright?", Kim stood outside the bathroom stalls. Kim only heard her vomit. She felt sorry for her.

"I'm alright.", Hailey said quietly.

"Can I come in?", Kim asked but Hailey was emptying her insides again.

Kim slowly opened the door to find Hailey sitting on the floor with her head over the toilet. Kim got down to her and tied Hailey's hair back.

"It's alright. Let it all out."

"I think I might be pregnant…", Hailey confessed.

"That… it's wonderful!", Kim was happy but at the same time she wanted to start crying because it was only three months ago that she'd lost her baby.

"Can you get Jay?", Hailey looked at her colleague exhausted. Kim nodded.

"I'm already here.", Jay stepped inside. He heard everything. "Sorry."

"Jay…", Hailey started.

"Voight told me to get you home. Whenever you feel up to drive, I'll get you home.", Jay said. "Thank you Kim, for taking care of her."

When Jay and Hailey made it home, Hailey went right back to the bathroom. Before Jay followed her, he went to the bedroom. He knew that Hailey kept a pregnancy test in her night stand drawer. He got it and walked to the bathroom.

"Can I come in?", he asked knocking on the door.

"Yeah."

He walked inside to find Hailey sitting next to the toilet. He sat next to her and handed her the box. "Take it."

"Do you think I'm pregnant?"

"You don't?"

"I do… Could you wait outside?"

Jay got out and closed the door behind him.

Hailey sat on the toilet and tried her best to hit the stick and not her whole hand. After a moment she looked at the pregnancy test and waited.

Jay waited outside the door. He'd never been this nervous in his life. Whatever result the test had, he would always be with Hailey. The minutes they waited felt like ages.

Hailey finally opened the door. She had the little pregnancy test in her hands and stared down on it.

"What does it say?", Jay asked.

"I'm pregnant!"

Fin.
