Olivia stood under the hot spray of the shower after a long work day. Jay had snuck in behind her, put his arms around her and placed little kisses along her neck. She closed her eyes and leaned back into him.

"You're suppose to be resting."

"I've been resting all week, and right now, I just wanna spend the last hours of my medical leave, in bed, working on getting my endurance up."

Olivia turned and put her arms around Jay's neck.

"Just in bed? We have a whole house?" She smirked.

Hours later, they were laying in bed, exhausted and content.

"So, about this whole wife thing."

Olivia sat up.

"Not this again Jay."

"Why does it freak you out so much."

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because it was just something said so I could stay with you! Why does everyone keep acting like it could be a real thing?!"

"It could be."

Olivia turned to look at him.

"Dont, don't you dare."

"Liv-"

"No, okay. We can't be married! Don't even think about proposing right now!"

"First of all, calm down I'm not proposing right now. Second of all, why can't we be married?"

"Because things are good the was they are, why change it."

Jay scoffed.

"Okay, let's pretend you actually meant that. Why settle for good when you can have something that's perfect?"

"There's no such thing as perfect."

"I think you're perfect."

"That was so corny." She laughed.

"Maybe, but you smiled."

"I am far from perfect Jay."

He took her hand.

"What's the real reason Livi?"

"You deserve so much better than me."

"Have you lost your mind?"

"Considering I have a chunk of memories missing, I'd say yes."

Jay sat for a moment or two.

"So that's what this is about."

Olivia began to cry.

"How could you want to be with someone who can't remember her life with you."

"Because I can remember. Because I've never been as scared as I was when you were taken. Because the second I found you and kissed you, I knew you were my forever. Because hearing you being referred to as Mrs Halstead or us being called husband an wife, I've never wanted anything more."

"That was smooth," she smirked,"Did you practice that?"

Jay laughed.

"No, I don't even hang the ring yet."

"Shame."

"So it's official then, we're pre-engaged."

"There's no such thing Jay, that's just basically dating."

"It is too a thing, I hear pre-engaged sex is better than dating sex."

She raised an eyebrow.

"Is that so?" She asked, playing along.

"Mhm, we should test that theory." He said pulling her in for a kiss.

"Wouldn't being pre-engaged be the same as dating?" Will asked.

Jay had met up with Will during both of their shifts to grab coffee and to tell his brother the good news. Will had been confused by the whole thing, claiming it made no sense.

"No, it's completely different." Jay argued.

"Really, how so?"

"Because it just is! Is it really that hard for you to just be happy for me!"

"I sm happy for you Jay!"

Jay rolled his eyes.

"I can tell by how sincere that sounded."

"Jay, you know I do mean it. After everything you've been through, then Erin, you deserve to be happy."

"So what's the issue?"

"What if she gets her memories back? The amnesia thats been cause from her traumatic event will eventually go away. It's only a matter of time, she's been getting better and remembering things."

"Then we'll deal with it."

"And what about New York? Then what Jay?"

"New York, what about New York?"

Will hesitated but his brother deserved to know the truth.

"I overheard her telling Nat that she wanted to go back, that she needed to."

"That's not true, she would've told me."

Will sighed.

"If this is what you really want Jay, you've got my support, you know that, and you always will. I just want to make sure everything goes the way you want it to. You're my brother, I'm always going to look out for you."

Will patted Jay's shoulder before leaving.

To Jay, from Olivia

Molly's after work to celebrate your first week back? Tell the unit too! The shop girls are in

To Olivia from Jay

can you just meet me at home

Jay entered the house quietly. He didn't need to because she wouldn't have heard him anyway with the music she was blasting. She was kinda singing kinda yelling along to the Backstreet Boys and dancing around the kitchen while she cooked, like she was at a concert or performing. He stood in the doorway and watched her. She spun around with the spatula in her hand as a microphone and shrieked when she saw Jay.

"What the fu-, Jesus Jay, stop doing that!"

He put his hands up in defense.

"I was enjoying the show."

"Jackass."

Jay sat at the island.

"So why'd you turn down a night at Molly's? Rough week?"

She plated up the food and sat next to him.

"I saw Will today."

"Okay."

"He said he heard you tell Natalie about needing to go to New York."

"I did." She admitted.

"Were you even going to tell me?"

"Yes, of course."

"So why did I have to find out from my brother? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I'm not going."

Jay put his fork down.

"Oh."

"I thought I did, that I needed closure. But then I realized it would only open old wounds. And then I thought maybe we could make a vacation out of it. But I don't want my old life mixed with my new life. My closure was meeting you, making a life with you."

"You really feel that way?"

"Of course I do, I wouldn't agree to eventually marry you if I felt otherwise."
