Heyyy beautiful Linstead shippers. (at least I assume if you read my fics you ship them.) Anyways the last chapter, this chapter, and the next few chapters are all kind of interconnected, and in chronological order. Forgive me if there are any serious grammatical issues in this chapter. I'm super sleepy, but wanted to get this up for you all.

Erin tucked the kids in bed then went down stairs to find Jay sitting on the couch watching the Cub's game. She smirked sauntering over to him and sat on his lap straddling him. Jay turned off the game and looked at his gorgeous wife draped over his lap.

"Are you going to tell me where we are going now?" Erin asked with her arms loosely hanging over his shoulders. Tomorrow was their fourth wedding anniversary and Jay had planned a weekend getaway. They were leaving right after work, and Voight was set to watch the kids for the weekend.

He shook his head no. "I told you it's a surprise. You'll find out tomorrow."

Erin pouted, "I hate surprises, Jay."

"You don't hate surprises. You hate being patient, and you hate not knowing."

"I'm a detective! My job is to find answers."

"Well this one you are just going to have to wait for, Detective." He teased her.

She gave him Macy's signature pouty lip and puppy dog eyes making Jay laugh. "You look cute, but I think Macy does it better." Jay teased her again.

"Ugh fine." Erin groaned resting her head onto his shoulder. After a second she grinned a devious smirk because she had an idea. She pressed her lips to his neck. Slowly she worked her way up his neck onto his jaw, before finally meeting his lips. She began to grind her hips against him eliciting a deep, quiet moan from Jay. When she thought she had him under control Erin slid her hand down the center of his chest and gripped his belt buckle.

She barely pulled her lips away from his and began to whisper. "Are you sure there is nothing I can do to get you to tell me, baby?" She asked seductively.

Oh she was good, Jay noted in his head. But he had caught on, so he decided it was his turn to play games. "Maybe there is one thing."

Erin smiled leaning in to kiss him again. As she did so she began to undo his belt. "And what would that be?" She mumbled against his lip.

Jay pulled away from the kiss, and looked into her eyes. "You can wait until tomorrow."

Erin's Jaw fell open and she slapped his shoulder. "You're an ass."

Jay laughed thinking it was hilarious that he played her at her own game. "You love me anyways."

"Yeah. You're lucky."

The next night they pulled out of Voight's driveway from dropping the kids off. Jay was driving since Erin still had no clue where they were going. They had barely made it to the end of Voight's street when Erin made him stop the car.

"Wait, Jay. Pull over."

He pulled to the side of the road, and put the vehicle in park. "What's wrong?"

"I need to check the trunk and make sure we brought everything inside they need."

Jay sighed. "Erin, you checked three times before we pulled out of the driveway. They have everything. They are fine."

"Did Macy have her blanket? I don't remember seeing it."

"She had it. I handed it to Voight myself."

Erin nodded sighing deeply. "Okay we can go then." She had left the kids once for the weekend to work on a case in New York, but they were still home with Jay. They'd never been without one of them before, and it was making Erin panic.

Jay began to drive again and placed one hand on her knee giving it a gentle squeeze. "They are with Hank, babe. They are fine. They are going to have fun, and so are we okay?"

She nodded grabbing his hand off her knee and intertwining her fingers with his. "Are you going to tell me now? I've been sooo patient."

"Patient? You just begged me to tell you again like four hours ago!" He laughed. She couldn't help but laugh too knowing that he was right.

"Okay well how far away are we going?"

"Just like two hours. I promised you it would be in driving distance of the kids."

Erin dosed off in the car until she felt Jay shake her awake. "Hey do you need to use the bathroom or anything? We are at a rest stop I have to pee."

She nodded groggily and got out of the car. He didn't really have to use the bathroom. He instead needed to make a quick phone call to make sure everything was set up for his romantic surprise.

Erin walked out of the bathroom just as Jay was hanging up. "Who was that? Is everything okay?" She asked worried that it could have been Voight.

"Yeah everything's great. Macy wanted to say goodnight before going to bed." He lied. "Now lets go. We are only a half hour away."

Thirty minutes later Jay pulled the car up outside a little house right on the beach of Lake Michigan. There were no other houses for a quiet a ways on either side. The only structure really visible was a lighthouse about a mile down the coast.

The couple got out of the car and Erin looked around. It was really beautiful out. You could see all of the stars in the night sky, unlike in the city where all of the lights made it difficult to see them. Erin couldn't help but tease him though.

"So you brought me out to the middle of nowhere to kill me?"

Jay laughed. "Damn you caught me." He lifted the suitcase out of the car and carried it into the cute little beach house. But before Erin even had time to really look around Jay grabbed her hand, and led her out the back door. They walked down a wooden pathway towards the water. As they got closer Erin noticed what he had set up.

There was a small bonfire on the beach. Blankets were set up in the sand. There was a tray of Erin's favorite dessert, chocolate covered strawberries, and a bucket of ice with a bottle of wine being chilled.

An undeniably large grin covered her face. "How did you do this?"

"I have people." He answered ambiguously while leading her closer to the blankets.

"You have people out here in the middle of nowhere?" she laughed.

"I've got people everywhere, Erin." He told her getting a laugh in response.

"Well your people did good. It's beautiful."

"You're beautiful. Happy Anniversary, Erin." He whispered pulling her in against him before pressing his lips to hers.

The sun was rising over the water when Erin woke up snuggled in next to Jay still outside on the beach. It was a little bit chilly, so she pressed her body closer to his for warmth. Jay woke up as a result of Erin's wiggling around.

He stretched and yawned out a sleepy "good morning."

"Morning." She smiled staring at how striking her husband looked in the morning. The scenery was gorgeous, her husband was gorgeous, and it was the perfect view to wake up to.

Jay drew patterns up and down her bare arm. "So was it worth the wait?"

She flashed him a dimpled smile. "So worth it. That was my first time sleeping outside under the stars."

"Really?" Jay asked her surprised.

She nodded. "Mhmm. My first time having sex on the beach too."

"Really?" Jay asked again only to tease her this time.

She scrunched her eyebrow together. "Yeah. You have?"

"Once, last night with my wife." He smiled leaning in and kissing the tip of her nose.

"I thought you were about to tell me you've brought an ex here before, and I was going to have to kill you and drop your body in the lake."

Jay laughed a loud throaty laugh. "Geez, Erin. I didn't realize I married a psychopath."

She chuckled for a moment. "I don't share, Jay"

"Then it's a good thing you're the only girl I've ever brought here, because I kind of enjoy living.

"That is good because I kind of like you alive too." She smirked. They lied silently for a few minutes and Erin traced over his face gently with her index finger.

"Erin, I've been thinking about something."

She gave him a look that could only be described as her 'oh no' face.

"What is that look about?" Jay laughed.

"Well whenever you start a conversation with 'I've been thinking' one of two things follows. The options are A. you tell me something kinky you think I should do to you in bed, or B. You have a really ridiculous, often dangerous idea. Need I remind you of our trip to the ER when you tried to build a swing set from scratch on your own?"

"That was not my fault. That nail gun was possessed. But this isn't anything kinky, although I'm sure I can think up one of those too if you're interested, and it's not going to cause me any bodily harm."

"Okay fine. Shoot."

"I want to have another baby, Erin."

Erin face went from relaxed to complete shock. "You… You what?" She stuttered.

"I think we should have another baby."

Erin just stared at him not knowing what to say. She was absolutely not expecting that. Realizing she wasn't going to say anything Jay spoke again.

"Just hear me out okay? Macy is going to be four, and Micah is eight now. If we are going to do this I think we should while the kids are still little. I really want this, Erin. I've been thinking about it for a while now, ever since you recovered from your surgery."

"Jay… Another baby? I mean don't you think our time is already spread out thin enough?"

"I think we can make it work, Erin."

"Do you even remember what I was like pregnant? I was insane."

"But the insanity was worth it for Macy wasn't it?"

"Of course she's worth it, but you really want to go through all of that again?"

He nodded. "I do. I really want to."

She stared at him, and Jay could practically see the gears turning in her mind. Erin was rational. She always had to think things through before doing them, or agreeing to anything. Jay knew that was exactly what she was doing right now.

"We can afford it?" She finally asked him about a minute later.

He nodded. "Yeah we can."

"We can make it work with our time? It won't take away from Micah and Macy?"

"No. I think they'll be happy about it."

She sighed still mulling it over. "You're serious about this? You really want to do this all over again?"

Jay nodded once again, and stroked the side of her face. "More then anything."

She gazed at him a moment more before a smile of disbelief spread across her face. "We're going to have another baby." She could barely believe the words as they exited her mouth. She never imagined this to be a product of their weekend.

"Yeah?" Jay asked his smile matching hers.

She nodded her head swiftly. "Yeah." She answered him with a beaming smile, right before Jay crashed his lips onto hers. He rolled his body over top of hers as they continued to kiss passionately. Erin pulled her lips away to look up at him.

"You know we can't make a baby right now, right? Birth control takes a time to become ineffective."

Jay smiled. "I know, but that doesn't mean we can't practice."

"Okay just checking." She chuckled before they resumed their kiss.
