*3 months later*
Erin laughed as she watches Emi pull on Jay's hair, Jay found it impossible that a 3, almost 4 month old baby could have such a strong grip.
"Okay Emi, that hurts, let go, thank you!" Jay tries pulling his head away but every time he got free Emi would start to fuss.
"Jay you can't say no to that, come on" Erin smirked as Jay sighed and lowered his head to her level again.
"Well I hope one day she finds your hair just as interesting" Jay says.
"Oh is that so?" Jay turns his head as best he can to look at Erin.
"Yep"
"We should probably give her a bath and get her to bed, it's past her bed time." Erin suggests as she looks at the clock.
"She has a bed time?"
"Ow!" Jay exclaims sarcastically when Erin slaps his arm.
"yes Jay, 7:00. Hasn't changed since the last time we talked about it"
"Okay baby girl, time for a bath. Rubber duckies are way better than his hair don't you think?" Erin picks up Emi and carries her to the bathroom.
"Want steak and potatoes for dinner?" Jay calls out.
"Sounds good!" Erin replies, turning on the water and preparing the bath. Erin places Emi in and starts to wash her hair, Emi loves her hair being washed. Erin then pours warm water over Emi's body and uses a soft washcloth to clean under her armpits, her butt and crotch. With a few more rinses, Emi is clean and taken out of the tub. Erin puts a diaper back on her and dresses her in a pink onesie with a pink poodle on the front.
"Say goodnight to daddy, I love you daddy" Erin says pretending to be Emi's voice. Jay kisses Emi instead of hugging her because he has hands covered in steak juice and garlic seasoning.
"I love you peanut, sleep tight" Jay says as Erin carries Emi to the nursery.
"Sweet dreams baby girl, I love you so so much" Erin smiles as she sets Emi down in her crib and shuts off the light before exiting the room.
"Steak is almost done" Jay announces as he stands over the frying pan. Erin comes up behind him and hugs him from behind.
"It smells delicious. So Jay I have some news for you" Jay sets the spatula down and turns around, Erin grabs ahold of his hands as she steps close to him.
"I got a job offer for the task force, I've been thinking about taking it but with Emi I'm not sure if it's the right thing to do... I'd be starting in intelligence next week cause my maternity leave is just about over. Or I could take that job and go there instead next week. What do you think?" Jay looks up and puts on a thinking face, he leans down to kiss her but tricks her and pretends to smell the air.
"What's that smell? Smells like the steak is done!" Jay turns back around and places the steaks on two plates, one for him and one for Erin.
"Jay I'm serious, would you be okay if we didn't work together anymore?"
"Well Erin, the way I see it, we'll never stop working together. We're working together to raise a baby, working together to pay bills and we definitely work together in the bedroom" Jay winks at the last part so Erin playfully shoves him.
"Fine, we'll talk about it in the morning" Erin sighs.
"That sounds like a perfect idea to me" Jay then slops potatoes on the plates and serves the meal at the table.
"Hows the steak?" Jay asks while he chews a piece of his.
"It's delicious, thank you" Erin covers her mouth while she talks with a food-stuffed mouth.
"Admit it, i'm the better chef" Jay boasts, holding his head up high in a sarcastic manner.
"Well Mr. Chef if you're so great then why did you burn my grilled cheese yesterday? Or over cook my soup when I was sick?" Erin crosses her arms with a smirk.
"Way to cut down a man's ego, sheesh" Jay pretends to act hurt, but in reality he loved when they had these little playful banters. They usually followed up with cuddling on the couch, a make-out session, sometimes sex and other times they would just lay in the darkness of their bedroom and talk about life.
"Aw I'm sorry Jay, how can I boost that ego that I damaged so bad?" Erin cocks her head to the side, Jay once again puts on a sarcastic thinking face.
"How about you make me breakfast tomorrow morning, and maybe a little apology make-out session?" Erin chuckles then finishes up her dinner.
"Tell you what, you give me a run for my money tonight and I'll make you breakfast AND dinner tomorrow, hows that sound?"
"I like the sounds of that" Jay says before eagerly standing up and putting away the dishes.
Erin woke up the next morning to the sounds of Emi's cries over the baby monitor. Erin slips out of bed, the sheets still covering up her torso as she searches for clothing to slip on. She finds her bath robe hanging on the door so she grabs that and slips it on. She then heads into the nursery and picks up Emi, Erin could immediately smell the mess in her child's diaper so she places her on the changing table.
"I bet someone wants to snuggle in bed with mommy and daddy, am I right Emi?" Erin coos as she fastens the diaper on and slips the onesie back on.
"Look who's awake sweetie, it's daddy" Erin smiles as she crawls back into bed with Emi on her chest and Jay sits upright in bed to watch his daughter chew on Erin's robe.
"So, any plans for today? Or is cuddling all day on the agenda?" Jay asks.
"Well I think you deserve that breakfast, then maybe we could take Emi grocery shopping with us. Or Stopping at Burgess and Ruzek's for a visit. You can decide" Erin tells him.
"I kinda like cuddling and eating well deserved breakfasts, but we also need groceries... hmm. I have time to decide don't I?" Jay smirks sarcastically, Erin sticks her tongue out as she shakes her head.
"You're a pain in the ass" She jokes.
"But I'm your pain in the ass, and you love it. Am I right?"
"If I say yes will your ego be forever repaired?" Erin watches his facial expression, instead of answering he scoots closer to her and kisses her forehead.
