Thank you all for the wonderful reviews, they really mean a lot more than I can express. I hope you guys like this chapter. Please review and give me feedback :)


Jay Halstead rode in the ambulance with Erin Lindsay as she was rushed to the hospital. No one knew her prognosis. As soon as Jay entered the hospital waiting room, he collapsed to the ground, knees to his chest as he cried into his hands.

He was heartbroken; heartbroken that the woman he loved and his unborn child were fighting for their lives. The Intelligence team occupied the waiting room; all in one corner waiting to hear word on the status of their friend. Hank was heartbroken on one side of the waiting, while Jay was on the other. The team tried to get Halstead up, but he didn't budge until Will entered the waiting room.

Halstead ignored Allie's continuous calls on his cell. He didn't want to speak to anyone right now. At one point, Burgess took the phone and told Allie where they were and Allie rushed to his side. Halstead didn't acknowledge her. She tried to get through to him, but his walls were taller than she can handle.

He got up and walked over to his brother, followed by the rest of the team. "How is she, Will?"

"She's stable. We stopped the bleeding and she should wake up soon." Will said.

Everyone let out a breath they did not know they were holding.

"We all have to return to the precinct." Voight said. "Halstead will you stay with her and keep us updated?"

"Of course sir." Jay replied.

"Thank you, Dr. Halstead." Voight put his hand out for Will to shake.

Will nodded and turned his attention back to his brother, as Voight and the rest of the team exited the hospital.

"Jay could I talk to you privately." Will said as he led him to another room.

"You okay?" Will asked his brother.

"I will be when I know they're both okay, Will"

"You knew she was pregnant?"

"Yeah. She told me before...before she crashed." Jay said barely getting his thought out.

"Is it yours?" Will asked.

"I think so, I don't think she slept with anyone else. I'm going to be there for her, Will. I'll always be there for her."

"Good. She's going to need you" Will said. "What about Allie?"

"I'll deal with that when the time comes. I need to think about Erin and the baby right not. How is the baby, Will?" Jay asked.

"We don't know yet, she needs to get an ultrasound. The wound was her upper abdomen, so it didn't come close to the baby, but she did lose a lot of blood. We're hopeful."

Jay nodded. "Do you want me to tell Voight, or will you?"

"Voight's her father, he should know. You can tell him, I guess I deserve whatever he's going to do to me." Jay said. "Can I go see her?"

"Yes, she's in room 144." Will said.

"Thanks, Will." He patted Will's back as he went seeking for Erin's room.

Neither of them realized that Allie was hidden listening to their entire conversation.


"Er." Jay said as he approached her bedside. Seeing her unconscious on that bed broke his heart all over again. He loved her more than he could ever admit. "You and our baby are going to be okay. We're going to get through this together, Erin."

Tears streamed down his face as he grabbed her hand and sat next to her bedside.

Allie gave him some time, before knocking on the door.

"Hey." She said as she opened the door.

"Hi." Jay said looking up.

"Why don't you go get yourself some food, I'll watch her."

"I want to be here when she gets up." Jay said looking at Erin.

"You need to eat, Jay. Go." She pleaded.

"Okay, I'll be quick." He said. "Thank you."

Erin Lindsay slowly opened her eyes. She felt the sharp pain on her upper abdomen and remembered what happened. She looked around at her surroundings hoping to see Hank or Jay.

"Allie?"

"Hi." Allie said.

"Where's... Hank, and Jay." Erin said weakly.

"Voight's at the precinct, and Jay went to get some food. I told him I'll watch you."

Erin nodded. "Thanks."

Allie stared at her with a weird expression. "I know you're pregnant, Erin."

Erin was shocked. Shocked how she knew, shocked on how she was bringing this up right after Erin was stabbed.

"Is my baby okay? Do you know?"

Allie ignored her. "I know you had a thing with my boyfriend. Even if it's his, you're going to tel him it's not his."

"What?" Erin was appalled at Allie's statement.

"Do you really think he wants to have a baby with you? Do you think he'll want you as the mother of his child? You're just like your mother, that's not fair to his child."

"Excuse me?" Erin was not going to sit here and listen to the obnoxious statements of her partner's girlfriend, but she was starting to believe it.

"If you do, I will embarrass you both in front of the whole district. Voight will transfer him and you both will suffer."

"So you're going to make Jay suffer for your own selfish motives?"

"C'mon Erin, look at you. A former drug-addict with a messy past, Jay deserves better than that."

"And better than that is you?"

"Yeah, it is. You're not going to tell him."

"Why would I even listen to you?"

"Because if you don't, Jay will lose his job and Voight will probably kill him and you both would be miserable. You don't want that for Jay would you?"

"Absolutely not. But you would want that for someone you claim you "love"".

"That's exactly why you're not going to tell him."

There was no way she was going to sit here and listen to Allie's threat. She was her own person, she would never let anyone tell her what to do.

But, what Allie said got her thinking. Maybe Allie was right, why would Jay want her to be the mother of his children? Her life was a mess, her mom was a mess. There was no way she would be the mother Jay's child deserved. She knew Jay deserved better than her; he deserved happiness. She also didn't want to trap him into anything. If he knew, then he would feel obligated to be there for her every step of the way because that is the man Jay Halstead is. She didn't want to feel controlled.

Her thoughts were broken as she saw Jay's face.

"Hey." Jay said entering the room with flowers.

"Hey." She smiled at him. He was supposed to go eat, but he spent his time buying her flowers. This man deserved so much better than her.

"Allie, can I have a minute with Erin?" Jay asked.

"Sh..Sure." Allie said.

"Thank you." He said as he went to sit next to the hospital bed. Allie watched from the doorway as Jay squeezed his partner's hand and smiled.

"You bastard," They heard a gruff voice approached them.

Voight picked up Jay and pushed him against the side wall of the room.

"How many times do I have to tell you to keep it in your pants and that Erin is off limits. And now look what you have gotten yourself into."

"HANK" Erin screamed.

"Not now Lindsay" Hank answered. Voight only referred to her as "Lindsay" when he was angry with her.

He started to hit Halstead, and Jay was taking it without a fight.

She couldn't take it anymore. This was not what she wanted. She knew that Jay deserved better than this, better than her. Either way, Voight would never approve of them. "STOP" she screamed and took a deep breath. "It's not his."

Both men froze and looked at Erin, who had tears in her eyes.

"What?" Erin could sense the hurt in Halsteads voice as he stared into her eyes.

She couldn't face looking either of them in the eye, so she looked down and said, "My baby's not Jays. A couple weeks ago, I got really drunk and slept with someone that I picked up at the bar. I'm so sorry, Jay."

He stared at her for a minute, trying to collect his thoughts.

"I need some air." Jay said and walked out.

"Jay" she yelled after him. She didn't know how much it would hurt. Seeing the hurt and the betrayal on his face broke her in ways she didn't know was possible. She knew that it had to be done, she needed to set him free.

"Let him be, Erin. He'll get over it."

"You didn't have to beat him up, Hank." She said angrily.

"You shouldn't have gone behind my back and gotten involved with him then, Erin."

"It's not his, Hank. Wouldn't it be better if it was, that way my child will actually know it's father."

"You know I have trouble believing that you would go out and have unprotected sex with a random person you met at a bar."

"I was vulnerable and stupid, Hank. It happened and now I have something to remember it by every single day for the rest of my life."

"Hey." Voight squeezed her hand. "You're going to get through this. I'm here for you. You're going to be a great mother." He reassured her.

"I don't know about that, Hank. I didn't exactly have the best role model."

"Yes, you will be so great at this, Erin. You need to stop letting Bunny dictate your life, that woman is poison. How are you feeling, should I call the doctor?" Hank knew when Erin was in pain, even if she tried her best to hide it.

"I just need to know if my baby is okay." Erin said as she put her hand on her stomach.

"I'll be right back." Voight said as he kissed the top of her head and walked out of the room.


"Hey little brother slow down, what happened." Will said as he saw Jay storm down the halls of the hospital.

"It's not mine." He blurted out.

"What?"

"Erin's baby. It's not mine."

"Well isn't that a good thing, considering Allie?"

"Yeah I should be thrilled, but I'm not, not even close."Jay leaned against the wall.

"You wanted a baby, didn't you?"

"Yeah I did, especially with Erin."

"What about Allie?"

"I love Erin, Will. I've never been in love with anyone else more than I love her. The only reason there is an Allie is because I couldn't get over Erin. I couldn't stop thinking about her.

"Will I really wanted it to be mine." Will wrapped his arms around his brother and tried to comfort him.
