Later that night, she met her old unit at Molly's for drinks. Adam, Kevin, Kim, and of course, Jay were all waiting for her.
"There she is!" Kevin yelled as she walked over to the table.
"Here I am," She said, with a huge grin. Being around them made her so happy.
"There's my favorite Halstead!" Adam said, standing up to give Erin a bear hug. Kim followed and gave her a hug.
"I missed you so much , Er," Kim whispered in her ear.
Jay sat off to the side and couldn't help but feel almost sad that she didn't get to see them that often anymore. They were basically her family. He should have been the one to transfer.
Erin made her way over to Jay and sat down close to him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"Erin, we are getting you drunk tonight whether you like it not," Adam said handing her a shot. Erin rolled her eyes, but took the shot.
"So how is the new unit?" Kim asked.
"Um, it's great. It's a lot different than what I'm used to but its nice," Erin said, faking a smile.
"Work isn't the same without you. I heard we are getting a new female detective to take your place soon..." Kim said, sighing sadly. Erin just nodded and faked another smile. Oh, how she wishes that were her. Whoever it was, was going to spend all day with her husband. She couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The rest of the night was filled with catching up and alcohol. Erin was to the point where Jay had to stop her. Jay only had a couple beers so he could still drive them home.
Erin got very clingy when it came to drinking. She kept trying to rub her hand up and down Jay's thigh, but he stopped her each time and she would just giggle like a child. She got very giddy when drunk.
Ruzek was also completely wasted and kept hitting on Burgess. Kevin wasn't too bad but he was falling asleep all night in his chair. Nothing had changed.
"Alright, I've got to get my girl home, I'll see you guys Monday." Jay said helping Erin stand up.
"But Jayyyy.." Erin whined. Jay gave her a firm look and she knew not to press his buttons. "Fine, Mr. Grumpy. Bye guys!" Erin said waving to everyone, as Jay led her out to the car.
By the time they had to pick Chloe up, it was already ten o'clock. Jay told Erin to stay in the car while he went and got their daughter.
Chloe was fast asleep. Jay carried her out to the car and buckled her into her car seat. He thanked Will and they were on their way.
When he looked over at his wife, she was singing like a child. He couldn't help but chuckle at how drunk she was.
When they arrived home, Jay held Chloe in one arm and held Erin up as they walked, in the other arm.
Jay put Chloe to bed, then went to his wife. He laid her on their bed and undressed her. As he was taking her clothes off to put on her pajamas, she woke up and tried to pull his pants down, while giggling like a child.
"Erin... Not right now, you need to rest," Jay said grabbing her arms away from his belt. She giggled and pulled him by the shirt, so his forehead was against hers.
She gave him a sweet but sloppy kiss.
"Thank you for taking care of me.." She slurred, with a dimpled grin.
"Of course, I love you," Jay said kissing her lips. He pulled away when he tasted the liquor on her. "Jeez Erin, how much did you drink?"
"Not enough.." She sighed dramatically. Jay just laughed as he dressed her and tucked her in under the covers.
Jay stripped out of his clothes till he was left in just boxers. He crawled into bed and Erin laid on top of him, cuddling into his body.
"You're the best husband.." She hummed and kissed his chest, drifting to sleep.
The next morning, Jay woke up to his wife racing out of bed to their master bathroom. Thank god it was a Saturday and they didn't have to be at work. He ran in the bathroom and pulled her hair back as she puked. She had way too much to drink last night.
Erin brushed her teeth and then went back to bed.
Jay and Chloe made breakfast together. Chloe loved when Jay let her help cook. They tended to do this every Saturday morning. Erin eventually joined them when she was feeling a little better. Erin kissed her daughters cheek and her husbands lips, murmuring good mornings to them.
As they ate together, Chloe shocked them with a question they weren't expecting.
"Mommy, when are you going to have a baby in your tummy?" Chloe blurted out. Jay chuckled and looked at Erin.
"Yeah, babe, when?" Jay said smirking at her.
"Um.. Chlo.. I, uh.." Erin stumbled over her words, unsure of what to say.
"My friend's mommy has a baby in her belly. I want a little sister. Can you get a baby in your belly?" Chloe looked questionably at her mom.
"Chloe, mommy and daddy can't have a baby right now... We are too busy, sweetie.." Erin tried to explain to her daughter.
"Okay, mommy..." Chloe pouted, going back to eating her breakfast.
Erin looked over at Jay and raised an eyebrow. Jay just shrugged his shoulders. She let out a sigh.
Later that night, Erin and Jay lay together, both naked after an intense round of passionate sex. Erin traced her hand around Jay's chest.
"Babe," Erin whispered.
"Huh?" He asked placing a kiss on her head.
"About what Chloe said today..." Erin trailed off. Jay rubbed her arm, encouraging her to finish. "I, uh, obviously want to have another baby and I know you really want to, but not now, you know? I just started at my new job and-"
"Hey, Er," He said, grabbing her chin to look at him. "We can wait, it's okay. I want whatever you want. I know we haven't really talked about it. We will wait." He said, placing a kiss to her forehead.
Erin was thankful for how understanding he is. Erin noticed him mention having another baby every once in awhile, but she just put it off.
Eventually, they fell asleep in each others arms.
Rough times are coming, beware ;)
