Jay was laying on the bed with one arm below his head, the other arm was on Erin's back, she was laying on his chest. Both were smiling and teasing each other about their sex life.

"So do I get my flat screen or not?" Jay asked after a kiss on the top of her head.

She raised her head from his chest, looking at him. "Oh babe you have to pay me a lot more sexual favours than this for a flat screen that big!"

He looked shocked. "What? You didn't use to be so demanding and I thought you were happy with my... performance!"

She laughed lightly. "And I am. But for a flat screen that big you have to give me more. And... Are you complaining?" She asked, raising her eyebrow.

He giggled. "No I'm not!" He started planting small kisses on her belly making her giggle to.

"Stop Jay!Stop please!" She asked in despair. "I need to use the bathroom! Stop!"

Jay ended the game kissing her softly on the lips and letting her get up. "Could you please give me one pair of sweat pants from the bag. And I know we agreed on one room at the time, but the first thing we need to fix is space for my cloths."

"You're right! Don't really know how we are going to solve that problem but we need to solve it quick. I'm tired of your bags laying around," She said picking a pair of pants from his bag and made a face showing him her tongue. As she took the pants his military dog tags fell on the ground. She picked them up threw them for him to pick up and left to the bathroom. "What are those doing here?" She asked from inside the bathroom.

He smiled, holding them on his hand. "I like to have them close to me. Where they are it means I'm... Home!"

She smiled to the mirror at his words but didn't say a word, just smiled to herself happy with their arrangement. In the middle of the storm that her life was right now, hearing him call her house home, now their home, was something that filled her heart. She really was happy and safe and that was an amazing feeling. And she could not leave this house... to many memories.

Still with that childish happy smile on her face she came back to the bedroom to find him with a concerned face rubbing his tags in his hand.

Surprised by the change of mood she asked. "What happen?"

He raised his head facing her with a look of anguish. When he spoke his voice was a little broke. "Mouse told me today that he wants to go back to the army... to Afghanistan."

She looked surprised. "Really? Why?"

"Well something about knowing who are the bad guys and the good guys and something about living in between and... I don't know... He looked haunted or something...He just can't go."

She knew that Afghanistan and all that happend there and when they came back was usually very painful for Jay to talk about. Well he usually didn't talk about it period, so she really never knew how to feel about this kind of situation. She sat close to him with one leg below her and spoke in soft tone. " Do you think he doesn't like to work with us?"

"No! It's not that... or maybe it is, all the craziness that we see day to day. He is not comfortable with bending the law like this unit does I think." Jay guessed.

She looked at him. He was really upset with this. She got closer. "Jay its his decision..."

But he cut her off sounding broken. "His decision? You don't know how things are there. And what is he going to do when he comes back? Loose himself again? If he comes back..."

She grabbed his hands that were slightly shaking. "Jay calm down. He hadn't gone yet and if you think that it's such a bad decision maybe you should talk to him again."

"Erin, Mouse is working with us because he was my CI and because his life was a mess and I gave him a hand. He was lost, like I was lost for some time too and he helped me out. We've look out for each other since I don't know when and... I... I'm afraid I could loose him, to the war or to himself..."

She hugged him and could hear his heart beating fast, he really was concerned about this and he got her concerned about it too. "Maybe we could do something about it. First you should talk to him again."

He nodded in agreement. "Let's sleep ok? I need to rest, you need to rest and tomorrow we will see if he changes his mind yet!"

She kissed him and cuddled with him face to face, changing seconds later to that strange spoon position that they both so much liked to fall asleep in.

Erin felt him sneaking out of the bed in the morning. "Where are you going this early?" She asked in her traditional not so good mood in the morning.

He smiled at her testy tone. "I'm getting breakfast!" He replied with a kiss to her forehead, leaving the bed. But she grabbed his hand, pulling him closer to her and kissed him deeply making him smile. "You know I'm totally up for a morning sex session and forget about breakfast right?"

She laughed. "And you know I'm not a morning sex person so go make me breakfast and maybe I could become an after breakfast sex person."

Jay gave a big laugh and left the bed straight for the kitchen, not before giving her a quick kiss on her lips.

He made pancakes because she loved them and went down to the street to pick up some decent coffee. When he came back he went to wake her up but she was already in the bathroom. He took the time to change and get ready too before she left the bathroom still grumpy making him laugh again.

She turned her back on him, picking something to dress in from the closet. "Don't be like that! I really need some time for a sleep vacation."

"Breakfast is ready and we need to talk about pantry supplies." He added and she made a puzzled face at him. "You don't have any decent coffee around and don't even let me started on the supermarket list." Jay informed her.

Erin kissed him on the cheek and passed by him straight to the kitchen. "That can be your new task in this house!"

They both sat at the table to eat. When Erin tasted the pancakes she rolled her eyes in pleasure. "This is really good Jay! You should cook more often!"

"Don't take advantage on this missy! I know you know how to cook too," Jay said nodding his head.

"Well apparently you beat me at pancakes."

"Does that mean I deserve a reward?" Jay asked, teasing.

Erin raised her eyebrow. "If your are thinking about after breakfast sex I don't know if I'm ready!" She answered maidenly. But after finishing what she was eating she got up and sat on his lap. "Maybe you could persuade me, no?"

He grabbed her chin and kissed her. She put her arms around his neck and deepened the kiss. He picked her up and took her to the couch, laying her down and kissing her again. Her hand traveled to his belt and he smiled through the kiss, separating them. "Well you were easy to convince!"

She laughed. "Cocky much?" And kissed him again. She played around his neck and collarbone and sink her hands in his hair, kissing his earlobe. When he kissed her breasts she moaned in pleasure. "Jay?"

"Hum" He looked at her, she could feel his heart racing because she had both hands on his chest. "I love you!" She said.

He smile at this. "I know! I love too. So, so much!"

A bit later they were finally getting ready for work. "We are getting good at this aren't we?" Erin said putting her jacket on.

Jay looked at her. "At what? Sex? Again with that? I thought you were happy with our sex life!" He said with a teasing smile and walking to the door.

"No you pervert, The "I love you part," She said, shaking her head.

He smiled sweetly and turned her to face him. "I know you dummy. I was just teasing you. And yes we are getting better at this. I have to confess that when you said it I feel like the most happy man on earth... I wanted to say it to you so, so many times, but never it seemed to be the right time and..." He stopped talking and looked down.

She grabbed his chin, making him face her. "And what Jay? Tell me!"

"Well I was afraid that if I told you I would make you run away..." He said, caressing her cheek.

She tilted her head to the side for him to caress and smile. Raising to her tiptoes she kissed his lips softly. "I'm here, for real!"

He hugged her. "Me too and we have a place to call ours now!"

They both kept the hug for a bit, smiling to themselves. He kissed the top of her head and release the hug picking up her hand and intertwining their fingers walking with her to the elevator.
