"Erin." Nadia ran after her. She knew something was up. "What is it?"

Erin took a deep breath. "I'm two months late, Nadia." She blurted out.

"Does that mean…" Nadia asked.

"Yeah." Erin said pacing around her apartment.

"Hey calm down. I'll go buy you a couple tests, I'll be right back."

"Thanks." Erin said as she stared into blank space. She couldn't be pregnant. Her and Jay had always been careful, well almost always.

She was terrified. Terrified of being a mother; terrified of losing her job that she loved more than anything. She was scared to tell Voight and Jay. Would she tell Halstead it was his? What about Allie?

Many thoughts were flowing in her head as she sat down on her couch contemplating her life and what she had gotten herself into.

It must have been half an hour of her sitting in silence with her own thoughts before Nadia came back with the pregnancy tests.

Erin immediately grabbed it from her hand, mumbled a "thank you" and went to the bathroom and shut the door behind her.

She opened all three tests and took them all. Nadia waited outside the bathroom knowing Erin needed the privacy, but she also needed the comfort of her best friend.

"Er." She knocked on the door after a couple minutes.

Erin slowly opened the door and went back to staring at the tests.

"They're all positive." Erin blurted out. "I'm pregnant, SHIT." She exited the bathroom and entered her bedroom to sit on her bed. "I'm pregnant." She repeated. She couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth.

Nadia sat next to her. "Hey, it's okay. I'm here for you. You can tell Jay, you both can get through it together. He loves you, Erin. He would never leave you."

"That's not what I'm worried about, Nadia. Once I tell Hank I'm on desk duty, my job as I know it is gone. My life is completely changed. Nadia I love having you as my prodigy, but I never expected to have kids. I… I just never saw my life as a mother. I would be so horrible." She put her head into her hands.

"Erin, no you won't. You'll make an amazing mother. You've done so much more for me than my own mother has. I see you as a mother, Erin. You're there for me more than anyone else. You'll be great at this. Yeah you can't go out on the field, but it'll be worth it, Er." She put her arm around Erin and pulled her closer.

Erin nodded. "This is happening way too fast. Jay and I barely started whatever we were and we broke up and now this."

"Are you going to tell him?" Nadia asked.

"I don't know yet. I have to think about it."

"Er, he deserves to know that you're carrying his child."

"I know, but I don't want to trap him into anything. I also don't want to ruin his relationship right now."

"Er, Allie and him are nothing to compared to you and Jay. I see the way he looks at you; he's never looked at her that way. He loves you, and you are carrying his child. I'm pretty certain he would be there every step of the way, Er."

"I don't know, Nadia. Voight's going to kill him for knocking me up."

"Halstead could handle Voight." Nadia smirked.

"You have not seen the actual wrath of Hank Voight, Nadia." Erin smirked.

"He'll get over it, just think about it, before you make any rash decisions. You should sleep, Er. It's been a long night." Nadia said.

"Goodnight, Nadia. Thank you." Erin said.

Nadia nodded and was walking out of the room when she stopped. She turned around and ran to Erin to give her a hug.

"You'll get through this, Erin. I'm here for you." Nadia said.

"Thanks, Nads." Erin gave Nadia a small smile before she let go of Nadia's embrace and entered the bathroom.

She looked down at the pregnancy tests on the counter. "What have I gotten myself into?"

She thought to herself.

She wanted to tell Halstead she was carrying his child, but she knew that would not end well for Allie.


That past week had been hard for Erin Lindsay. She had to keep this big secret from everyone at work, and continue to do a dangerous job. It was the hardest to keep that secret from Jay, he knew her more than anyone and he knew something was going on with her.

"You haven't touched your coffee." Jay said. They were in the car following a lead.

Erin looked from the road to Jay. "What?"

"I brought you your favorite this morning, and you have yet to take a sip." Jay questioned.

"I..I didn't want to say anything because I felt bad, but I gave up coffee." She said.

"Why?" He couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. If he knew one thing about Erin Lindsay, was her love for coffee, especially the one he had brought her.

"No reason. I just thought I should cut back." She replied.

He didn't know what to say, so he kept his mouth shut, but he knew something was going on.


After a long week, Erin Lindsay picked up her and Halstead's favorite from the Purple Pig and drove to his apartment.

She put her hand on her stomach and said, "I'm going to tell him, baby" She didn't know what pushed her to want to tell him. She didn't know if it was the long hours, the overtime, or her lack of sleep. She didn't know, but at that moment she was feeling vulnerable and hormonal and that allowed her to make the decision to tell him that she's pregnant with his child.

She knocked on his door. Jay put a shirt on and walked to open the door.

"Hey." He said smiling at his partner. "What are you doing here?"

"Hey. Well, it's game night, and I thought let me bring some take out and we can watch the game together like old times. Plus there was something I have to tell you."

His smile faded. "I..I would love too, Erin. But.."

"Jay, who's at the door?" Erin heard the all-too familiar voice heading their way. There stood Allie dressed in nothing,other than one of Erin's favorite of Jay's t-shirts. She looked gorgeous.

"Oh." Erin gasped. Extreme jealousy hit her, an emotion she had never experienced in her life, until she met Jay Halstead. "I am so sorry. I didn't know you had company...I better go. You guys have a nice night." Erin said as she turned around and walked away.

"Erin." Jay screamed after her, but she was already gone.

Erin got in her car and pounded on her steering wheel. Tears formed in her eyes as she turned on the car and drove off.


"Nadia, are you home?" Erin asked as she entered her apartment.

"Yup." Nadia said as she came out of her room. She saw the redness in her best friend's eyes. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Nothing. Are you hungry?" Erin asked as she put the bag down on the kitchen counter. "I had ordered for two, but I'm the only one eating."

"Starving actually." Nadia said, not wanting to question her. She started to help her open the bag and they set up the kitchen table and sat to eat together.

"You went to see Jay didn't you?" Nadia asked in-between bites.

Erin nodded. "It was stupid. I thought it can be like old times, just watching the game together. We used to watch it together every friday, but Allie was over wearing his shirt."

"I'm so sorry, Erin." Nadia said. She felt so bad for her best friend. "Were you going to tell him?"

"Yeah. I don't know what it was, but today something pushed me to tell him. I guess it wasn't meant to be."

"Erin. Yes, it is. You and Jay are meant for each other. You need to tell him before it gets too complicated. He deserves to know and you deserve to have him by your side."

"I don't know, Nads. I don't think I'm going to tell him."

"It's up to you, Er." Nadia said as she remained quiet the rest of the evening. She really wanted Erin to tell Jay, she thought they would both be happier if he knew.


The weekend passed and Jay Halstead still hadn't talked to Erin since she left his apartment the other night. He felt horrible. Although, she was the one that broke up with him, he knew that it hurt her to see him with Allie.

It was bothering him the whole weekend, especially the idea that Erin wanted to tell him something and he didn't give her the chance to tell him. He called and texted her multiple times to see if she wanted to talk, but he never heard back.

"Hey." Jay said as he entered the bullpen.

Erin was the only one at work that early.

"Hi." She said looking up for a second, and then looking back down at her paperwork.

"Erin." He said approaching her desk.

"What's up?" She asked.

"You haven't returned my phone calls all weekend. I'm really sorry about Friday night, I miss our game nights too."

"I've been busy, Jay. And you have nothing to apologize for, you were with your girlfriend." Erin said.

"Er." The words stung and she wished they could go back to where they used to be. "What did you have to tell me?"

"Oh, nothing. It's not important."

"Erin. What is it?" Jay asked.

"Nothing, Jay. It was nothing." She said looking into his blue eyes. "I have paperwork to finish, Jay."

"Right." he said as he looked at her once more and walked to his desk.


"CLEAR." Erin screamed. "I'll go upstairs, you look downstairs." She told Halstead.

Erin Lindsay slowly walked up the staircase and entered the first room.

Before she knew it, she felt a hard object hit her and she fell over and dropped her gun. She tried to get herself up and grab her gun. Before she could get to her gun, someone stopped her.

"Don't you dare grab it." He yelled and came towards her with a knife.

She tried to fight him, but she instead she felt blood seeping through her shirt.

"ERIN" Jay screamed as he saw his partner lying on the ground. The suspect ran when Jay approached Erin. There was blood seeping through her shirt at her abdomen.

"ERIN" Jay screamed. He took his phone out. "This is Detective Jay Halstead, were at 342 E. Kingsley Avenue. We have an officer down, need ambulance immediately."

"The baby..Jay. The baby." Those were the only words that came out as one hand lay on her stomach, the other on her upper abdomen where she was stabbed.

"Er, what baby?" He put on hand under her head and the other on the wound for pressure.

"I'm pregnant." She barely got the words out.

"What?" Jay's initial shock quickly turned into a smile. "Hey, Er I'm here. I'm not going anywhere." He moved his hand from her head to her stomach.

"I don't expect anything from you, we're not together. Besides, you have...All..Allie." She faintly said.

"I don't love her, Erin. It's always been you. Don't you ever think I would want to be anywhere, but here." He admitted.

"Hey stay awake for me. You're okay, Er. Both of you. Stay with me please, we're going to have a baby together. Keep your eyes open. "

"I can't" Erin was losing consciousness. "I love...you..."

"Stay with me please. Er, don't do this. ERIN" Jay Halstead said as tears fell down his face.
