After everyone had left Erin went in search of Hank. When she found him he was sitting on the back porch. "Hey can we talk?" Erin said opening the screen door. "Sure kid have a seat."

"So about the whole me and Jay thing..." "You can date him if you want." this caught Erin of guard she thought he would at least put up a fight. "Really?" "Yeah who am I to get in the way of love, especially if it's yours."

"You know this is the exact spot Camile and I sat in the day we decided to take you in. She was actually the one to bring it up. I came home from work and I told her about my day as always and I thought about you. I told her that you were fifteen and I had picked you up for drugs. I told her that I could see the fear and goodness in your eyes, I knew that you were a good kid the first time I saw you. Anyways after I told her about you she told me 'You know we have enough room in our family for one more why don't you go get that girl out of lockup and give her a real family who loves her.' and the next day you were home and loved for the rest of your life."

"Now I don't know if you know this, but we loved you the moment you walked into our lives, and we will love you for the rest of your life." Looking up he saw Erin had tears in her eyes.

"Thanks Dad, I love you too." Erin said standing up and giving her dad a hug. "I love you too."

"Now I gotta go talk to Halstead tell him the rules." "Okay, but don't scare him away I really love him." "Erin he's been dealing with me for two years, if I haven't scared him away yet I don't think I can."

"Hey Halstead I need to talk to you." "Yes sir."

"Okay, now if you date Erin there are some rules. One, don't call me sir outside of work you can call me Hank. Two, you two need to keep in proffesional at work I don't want other people thinking i'm playing favorites. And three, do not hurt her."

"I understand and I don't plan on hurting her." "Good now get her home before she passes out from the drama today."

"Yes sir." "Halstead!" "Sorry I meant Hank."this made Hank chuckle.

When they got home and had settled in their bed Jay noticed Erin was crying. "Hey baby what's wrong." "I miss her Jay." Jay immediately knew who she was talking about. Immediately he pulled her into his side and she cried into him.

"She was the only good role model I had in my life and she's gone. I mean yeah Hank was great, but Camile new everything the moment it happened."

"Like if I broke up with a boyfriend she would be there when I got home and give me a big hug. It makes me sad that I can't have that anymore. She was the only real mom that I had and I lost her and the relationship that we had."

"Hey, you will never lose her. You will always have that bond with her and nothing will ever take that away from you. She will always be with you wherever you go no matter what."

"I know, but I just miss her so much it hurts. I sat with her everyday when she was sick. I remember getting that call from Hank when she died. The moment I picked up that phone I knew what had happened , he sounded so broken it killed me to her him like that." seeing Erin like this so vulnerable made Jay feel terrible. He never wanted her to feel pain let lone this much.

"Erin she will always be there for you and so will Hank and Justin and so will I, not to mention the unit we are all a family and will always be there for each other no matter what."

"Thanks Jay you always know what to say to make me feel better." Erin said snuggling closer to her boyfriends side. "I love you you know that." Erin said her voice muffled from his chest. "Yeah, I kinda love you too." Jay said with a smirk, and they were both asleep within minutes.
