Let me explain

Erin excited Jay's bedroom after getting fully dressed, there were more pictures outside of his bedroom in his apartment.

Walking into the living room of Jay's small apartment she saw Jay talking quietly to a tall, slender brunette woman.

"Erin", Jay said after he turned his back to the woman and looked at Erin, "It's not what it looks like –"

"What does it look like, Jay? Tell me, because for me it looks like you just ruined something" Erin whisper yelled in a hushed tone, mentioning behind him were the woman with a shocked expression on her face stud.

"Erin –" Jay began, he brushed his hand over his face and took a deep breath

"No, you know what? I don't even want to hear it", She said. Still trying to keep calm and not let the tears, which were forming in her eye, fall.

And with that Erin rushed out of Jay's apartment.

There was thick air in the bullpen the hours at work. They didn't speak at all. Voight knew something was off so he partnered Jay with Antonio and Erin was with him, but he didn't dare to ask what's wrong.

Erin was pouring herself a fresh coffee when she saw Jay enter the Break room.

"Hey", he whispered.

Erin snorted with an angry expression on her face.

"Give me a chance here, Erin", Jay said calm.

"A chance? Jay we are working together since months. Since the first day you are playing the charming flirting one, looks to me it was all a game for you."

Erin laughed in disbelieve.

"Now I get it. You did it to get back at Voight. Because you don't approve how he plays, so get in his 'surrogate daughters' panties and make him angry", She whisper yelled.

"If you will let me explain then –"

"We got a new case", Voight barked, entering the Bullpen with a file in his hand "Let's get moving."

The second time this day, that an 'annoying' sound disturbed their conversation.

The case was an easy drug bust, which was handled at the same day. It was almost eight in the night when the team entered the bullpen.

"Go home; we will handle the paperwork, fresh and early, tomorrow", Voight stated before he took off into his office and closed the door behind him.

Everyone else gathered their thinks and made their way downstairs.

Before Jay could say anything, Erin was already on her way downstairs.

Erin was nursing on her second beer bottle this night while sitting on her couch. A knock on Erin's front door took her out of her thoughts. She groaned but made her way to the door.

As soon as Erin opened the door she tried to slam it close again. But Jay was quicker and stepped one foot into her threshold.

"Stop it, Erin, Stop it", Jay hissed, "Let me explain it without you yelling at me"

Erin rolled her eyes but decided to step back, to let Jay enter her apartment.

"Beer? Because I definitely need one", Erin growled.

"Me too, please", Jay answered almost not audible.

Erin took a seat, next to Jay, on her couch and took a long gulp from her beer bottle.

Jay and Erin were sitting quiet, looking everywhere but not at each other. After five minutes Jay took a deep breath. He shifted on his seat and brought his hand to his back pocket from his jeans, after a couple seconds he took out a folded picture. He unfolded it with shaky hands.

His eyes never leaving the picture, he smiled.

"I know it wasn't fair, to any of you. But I thought if I keep it for myself... I don't know what I thought", Jay said, his eyes never leaving the picture he was still holding in his hands.

"The woman... is she – "

But Jay cut her off.

"No, no she isn't in anybody's eyes."

"Ugh, what's her name" Erin asked curios, mentioning to the picture.

"It's Madeline", he answered with a growing smile on his face "She's the best thing that ever happened to me, Erin"

"Yeah I didn't dope that a second", Erin quickly responded "You can clearly see that on your smile on the pictures"

Jay didn't say anything, not sure what to say.

"How old is she anyways?" Erin wondered.

Jay smiled again

"She's two and a half."

A/N: A cliffhanger, again! Sorry but it wouldn't make fun otherwise, right? Should I still continue writing? Let me know in the comments. If I should continue. If; I don't know when I will be able to update but I'm working on it so hopefully next weekend. Oh and if you don't get it yet... well I'll explain in my next chapter.
