Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Hope you all enjoy this chapter. Thanks to everyone that has been reading and leaving my positive reviews. I really do appreciate all of the feedback. And also...I'm so excited for CPD to get back tonight!

"Jay?" Erin called out from her bedroom.

Jay Halstead was sitting on the couch, watching the Blackhawks game. When he was watching sports, Erin could almost never get his attention. It had been a few days since their night at Navy Pier; Jay went to Erin's every night after work to spend time with her. But tonight was different. Voight was planning on taking Lindsay out to dinner. To Jay's disappointment, Erin agreed to go. Erin loved Hank, he was the only father figure she ever had, and she felt like she would always owe him for what he did for her when she was 16.

Erin walked into the living room, and playfully punched Jay in the arm.

"Hello?" she said, sarcastically waving her hand in front of his face. Jay looked up at her and smiled.

"I'm gonna go meet Hank now. I don't know how long we'll be gone but if it gets late, go home. You don't have to wait for me. We've got work in the morning. " Erin told him.

Jay nodded. "Have a nice dinner with your dad," he said sarcastically.

"Very funny, Halstead." Erin said to him, before she leaned over the couch and kissed him goodbye.

Hank Voight and Erin Lindsay walked in to one of their favorite steakhouses in Chicago. It had been a while since they had dinner together; the last time they did was when Justin was released from prison last fall. They were quickly seated and they had their orders taken by the waitress.

"So what's up with you, kid? I know we work together and all but I feel like we don't talk the way we used to." Hank said, as the waitress brought out their drinks.

"I know. Everything's good. Work's been keeping me busy." Erin said, taking a sip of her red wine.

"Yeah I know. Work hasn't been easy the last couple weeks. How's the fireman been? Better I hope?" Voight asked.

"I..uh…" Talking about her love life wasn't her favorite thing to do with Hank, especially since her and Halstead were now seeing each other. Erin looked at him, "I broke up with him a couple weeks ago."

"My bad, kid," Hank told her apologetically. "I had no clue. But I should've known. You've always been a heartbreaker. Ever since you were a kid."

Erin smiled at him. "Yeah, you're right about that one." Erin took another sip of her red wine. "How bout yourself. What have you been up to?"

"Nothing," Voight said in his deep husky voice. "Wake up. Work. Eat. Sleep. Repeat cycle next day."

"How's Justin been?" Erin asked, trying to keep the focus off herself.

"Good I guess. He says it's the hardest thing he's ever done. When he comes back, hopefully he'll be a changed man." Voight said.

"I'm sure he will be, Hank." Erin said.

The waitress brought out their dinners, and the two of them started eating. Hank looked up at Erin while cutting his steak. He had a question for her, but he didn't know how to say it.

"How's Halstead been?" Voight asked bluntly after 5 minutes of silence.

Erin felt her face turn bright red. "H-Halstead?" she said, her voice shaking.

"Yeah, Halstead. Your partner. You two spend a lot of time together." Voight explained.

"Spend a lot of time together? And how would you know that?" Erin snapped, she started to get angry.

"By the way you two act at work. Ever since he got shot you to follow each other around all day. And I drive by your place sometimes after work, sometimes before. His car is-"

Erin cut Voight off. "You drive by my place sometimes?" She could feel her blood pressure rise.

"Yeah I do. To check on you. Halstead's car is always there so I was wondering…" Voight stopped talking, and looked at Erin. She knew why he brought her here. It wasn't because he wanted to check on her, or because he wanted to catch up. He wanted to make sure there wasn't an "in house romance" in the works. He wanted Erin to know that he didn't support it, if it was happening, and that he would do whatever it takes to make it stop.

"I can't believe this. You don't drive by my apartment to 'check on me'. You haven't done that in years. You're doing it to make sure Halstead and me don't have a thing going. Well you can sleep peacefully, Hank! We don't!" Erin was a good liar, and she could feel herself shouting now. "And even if I was in a relationship with anyone it sure as hell isn't any of your business!" Erin got up from her seat, and walked toward the exit.

"Erin," Voight called out to her.

Erin kept walking and didn't look back. She got in her car, and drove home, hoping to find Jay Halstead still sitting on the couch mindlessly watching the Blackhawks game.

Erin parked in front of her apartment building and saw Jay's car was still there. She smiled, got out of the car, and went up to her apartment. She opened the door and found him still watching the game.

"Hey, I didn't think you'd be home so soon," Jay said, still looking at the TV. "Hawks are going to OT. Kane just tied the game up with a-" Jay stopped talking when he looked at Erin. "Erin, what's wrong?"

She lay down on the couch, her head in Jay's lap. "Talk to me, please." Jay begged her, while playing with her hair. "What did Voight do this time?"

"He asked me about you. He told me how he drives by here and sees your car and sees the way we act at work. He wanted to know if…" Erin felt her voice get shaky.

"Oh," Jay said monotonously. "Well what did you say?"

"I told him no. I didn't want him to find out yet. If he did, you'd get your ass beat by him in some alley, and you would be out of the unit before you could even fight back. I don't want that for you." Erin explained.

"I get it, Erin. I'm glad you didn't tell him yet either. It's too soon to spring something like that on him. Plus, I like working with you everyday. I can't imagine life any other way." Jay said to her, kissing her hair.

"Yeah I feel the same way. Can you do something for me?" Erin asked.

"Anything." Jay said.

"Stay the night. After dinner with Voight-"

Jay cut her off. "I'm not going anywhere. Especially with overtime starting right now."

Erin gave him a look.

"I'm kidding!" he said, grinning.

Jay watched the hockey game, while Erin fell asleep in his arms. Every moment he spent with her made him feel like the luckiest man on the planet.
