When Erin gets to the district, she pulls herself out of the Uber and walks up the steps in to the building, when she walks towards the stairs she sees Platt staring at her, "Erin what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be on bed rest?"
"Trudy when do i ever do what I'm told". Erin said walking up the stairs as Platt rolled her eyes at her.
As soon as Erin walked into the Bullpen she got everyone's attention especially Jay's,
"Erin what are you doing here?" He asked as he helped her walk to her chair on the other side of the room.
She sits down and carries on, "I'm so bored at home, and we missed you Jay!" Erin said rubbing her bump.
"I missed you too" Jay says putting his hand on top of hers.
"So then whats going on today, any cases?" Erin asked
Ruzek let out a scoff, "No just paperwork, so much paperwork!"
"Well i'm here now so you can entertain me, all I've been doing for two weeks is watching TV and i literally can't take it anymore and anyway my back really been hurting today so i thought it would do me some good to actually go for a walk"
Erin sits at her desk with Jay next to her for most of the day talking about the baby and baby names when Hank comes walking up the stairs, "Couldn't stay away huh?"
"Sorry Hank, i was so bored at home!" After Erin finishes speaking she throws her hand to her side and lets out a groan which made everyone look at her.
"Erin are you ok?" Jay asks putting his hand on her face.
"Yeah, I've been getting it all day but she keeps kicking me in the ribs" she says rubbing her side.
"come on, im putting you on the couch in the break room," Jay says lifting her up. "Jay really?"
"Yes you need to rest, lets go!"
Jay gets Erin settled in the break room but he has to leave her when they get called out on a case, "I'll be back soon, love you" he shouts to her. After a while the pain in Erin's side comes back so she decides to take a walk around the Bullpen, when she walks into the break room she grabs on to the counter and slides down to the floor as the pain get worse, "I can't be in labor, not yet" she says to herself but at that moment she feels herself go tired, "Stay awake Erin, stay awake!" she says in her head before passing out.
(Jay's POV)
I hated leaving Erin but i had to do my Job, "Jay stop worrying about her" Antonio tells me.
"I know it's just she's heavily pregnant and has been through a lot in the past few months."
"She's fine man, Kim will check on her anyway"
They both resume to silence and wait for the suspect to arrive in their area.
"I think i can see him, to the right near the bus stop."
"yeah i can see him, lets roll" Antonio says as we get out the car.
We walk over to the guy but he sees us and starts running so me an Antonio split up and try and cut him off but I see him run into a house, "Antonio, chasing suspect on foot to the north, he's ran into a house, im going to follow him" I radio through as i run into the house but i wasn't expecting to be hit in the face with a wooden stick as i ran through. I quickly stood up i started fighting with the suspect. He got many punches in as did I but i got taken down as he kicked me straight in the face, I lay on the floor until Antonio runs through and helps me get up, "You ok man?"
I nod as my face still hurts. "Dispatch, suspect fleeing north on foot wearing blue jeans and a red hoodie, get the patrols out now" Antonio radios.
"Lets get back to the district" he says helping me to the car. We drive back in silence as i look in the mirror at my cut forehead and bruises which are visible around my face and i slam the sun visor back up, "Do you want to go to med?"
"Nah i'm good, i'll clean myself up when i get back the district" I tell Antonio.
(Nobody's POV)
Back at the district, Jay walks out the toilet and past Platt's desk, "Jeez someone got it bad out there huh?"
"You got that right, other way around as well but he didn't get kicked in the face... Anyway, have you or Kim checked on Erin today?"
"No sorry, I've been swarmed with paperwork and Kim has been out on patrol today"
"No, it's okay i will go see her now" He says walking up the stairs, but when Jay gets to the top of the stairs he can't see her, "ERIN?" he shouts but no answer. He turns to Mouses desk, "Hey have you seen Erin?"
"Not since she said her back was hurting so she went for a walk but she went back into the break room" Mouse told him.
Jay walked towards the break room calling her name but when he opened the door, he saw her slumped on the floor near the counter, "Mouse call an ambulance!" Jay shouted out the door. "You got it!" he shouted back.
"Erin can you hear me?" He said touching her face. "Jay?, what happened" she asked opening her eyes, but before Jay could speak she grabbed into her stomach,"Jay I've been having pain all day, I think im in early Labor"
I hold Erin's hand through another contraction as we are still waiting for the ambulance, "Hey mouse where's that ambulance?"
"There all busy, at an accident!" Mouse tell him
"Then call Gabby, she'll come quicker" Jay tells him
The rest of the team walk up the stairs and when they got to the top they hear Erin screaming, "What the hell is going on?" Hank asked
"Well Erin's in labor but the only person she wants with her is Jay so i wouldn't go in there unless you want to be killed by a very heavily pregnant hormonal woman."
"Okay thanks mouse, everyone try and finish your paperwork if you can? Hank ordered.
Erin had been screaming for over an hour, "Jay we don't have time for the Ambulance, i can feel the baby coming... i need to push!"
"Ok hang on... Hey guys I need some blankets now!" Jay says to the team.
"Okay Erin, lets have our baby!", jay smiles at her, "Are you ready?"
"Ermm yeah, i guess" She cries.
"Okat Erin PUSH! and again Erin PUSH! Right take a break" Jay tries to reassure her.
"I can't do it Jay, its too hard!" Erin cried
"Look at me Erin... you can do this, in a few minutes we are going to have a baby girl!", "just one more push okay ready?"
After a nod from Erin, Jay carries on, "Okay, 1...2...3... PUSH!"
After one massive push their baby was out and in Jay's arms, He wrapped her up in a blanket and passed her to Erin and he sat with her, "We have a baby Jay" she cried
"We have a baby, whats her name then?" Jay asked her
" Esme-camille Halstead". "It's perfect" Jay smiles
"Hey Jay can you take her I'm just feeling a little..."
"Erin, Erin can you hear me?" Jay said shaking her
"Mouse, GET IN HERE!" Jay shouted.
As Mouse walked through the door, Jay handed Esme to him, "Where's Gabby?"
"Pulling up now!" Mouse said
"Dammit she's losing too much blood, I'm going to meet her outside. Follow me" Jay said taking Erin in his arms.
As they ran through the district, Erin in Jay's arms and a little baby in Mouse's everyone stood in shock until he ran outside, "Gabby you need to help her, i had to deliver the baby and she is losing too much blood."
"Okay hop in the ambulance, lets get her to med" Jay put Erin in the back and took Esme from Mouse, "Tell the team and everyone get to med!" Jay said to him as he shut the doors.
At Chicago Med
"What have we got?" The doctor asked Gabby
"Erin Lindsey, Labor and delivery by her partner around 3 weeks early. She was awake and responsive during but then passed out after due to blood loss, she was in a few weeks ago after having a minor placental abruption and the bleeding is believed to be from that"
"Ok take her to Trauma 3, April take the baby up to labor and delivery with Jay, We should bring Erin up soon" the doctor said.
Jay had spent hours in a room sat with his newborn baby waiting for Erin to come out of surgery when the whole team walked in with balloons, presents and cards.
"would you take a look at daddy Halstead!" Ruzek laughed as he patted him on the back
"Congrats man, what's her name then?"
Jay stood up as everyone surrounded him, "I would like everyone to meet Esme-Camille Halstead"
Everyone thought it was a cute name, "Where's Erin?" Hank asked worried
"When Erin escaped last week she suffered from a minor placental abruption and when she went into labor at the district she collapsed because it had torn, so they rushed her into surgery to repair it." Jay started to get upset, "She has to be ok, i can't do this without her!" he said looking down at Esme.
"Erm Antonio can you just take her a minute, I'm gonna go ask about Erin" He said passing her to him.
Jay walked down the corridor up to the nurses station and asked about how Erin was doing but they didn't have an answer but when he was walking back to the room he saw the doctors wheeling Erin down in a bed so he ran over, "Is she ok?"
"Yes we managed to fix the tear and we are giving her some blood so she should wake up in a few hours, where's your daughter?" the doctor asked
"She's in Erin's room with my team" They carried on walking until they reached Erin's hospital room, "How is she?" the whole team asked
"She gonna be Okay, she's just resting" Jay explained
"Well we gotta get back to work, We'll come back later" Hank said passing Esme back to Jay, "Bye guys thanks for coming" Jay said as they left.
Jay sat for the rest of the night in the chair next to Erin's bed waiting for her to wake up and staring at their beautiful baby girl sleeping peacefully. Jay couldn't stop thinking about their perfect little family.
So Erin had the baby, next part they will be going home. hope you
