Screams and shrieks could be heard ringing throughout the Halstead apartment. Erin and Jay sat up suddenly in bed in unison. The both jumped out of bed running down the hallway to check on Micah. Jay was the first to enter his room flipping on his light. He looked back over his shoulder at Erin after realizing Micah was fine. "You go check on her. I got this." Jay said nodding back towards their bedroom where baby Macy was screaming at the top of her lungs now awake.

Erin rocked and soothed the crying infant for only a few minutes before Macy had fallen back asleep. She gently placed her back into her crib before heading to check on her boys.

Jay was sitting on the edge of the bed with Micah sobbing and hyperventilating into his shoulder. Erin took a seat next to them and Micah instantly crawled into her lap to cry on her. Whenever he was upset he just needed his mommy.

Erin looked to Jay to see if he'd gotten their son to say anything while she was gone, but Jay shook his head 'no' in response.

Erin kissed Micah's temple. "What's going on baby? Did you have a bed dream?"

Micah tried to answer, barely choking out an answer as he hyperventilated weeping. "Y…y…yes…"

Erin rubbed his back. "Okay I need you to calm down a little bit, or you're gonna get sick okay?" He was crying so hard he was on the verge of making himself throw up. She looked up at Jay. "He's gonna get sick" She mouthed.

Jay hurried to go grab the tiny trashcan they kept in the bathroom to bring into Micah's room just incase.

Erin rubbed Micah's back soothingly attempting to get him to relax. "You wanna tell mommy and daddy about your bad dream so we can help you?" She whispered cautiously in his ear.

"It was…" He sniffled before stopping afraid.

"Go ahead and continue, buddy. We are listening." Jay reassured him.

"My… My other daddy." Micah stuttered out with his head still resting on Erin's shoulder.

Erin gave Jay a small sad grin.

"Okay your other daddy, and what was he doing?" Erin asked delicately.

"There was yelling." He paused. "Then he hit the guy. He punched him and there was blood." Micah took a moment to catch his breath before continuing. "The blood came from his nose and his mouth. He yelled 'stop. Stop. Please stop.' But my other dad just kept on hitting him over and over. I was supposed to be in my room but I wasn't."

Jay and Erin locked eyes both heartbroken. They both knew that chances are it was more so a memory then a dream, or at least a dream based on a memory Micah had.

Jay spoke up because he knew Erin was to upset to at that moment. "Hey buddy you are here with mommy and daddy now. You are safe. Your mom and dad are police officers. Our job is to protect people, especially you, so you don't have to worry about the scary dreams. We are here to keep you safe, okay?"

Micah nodded slightly. "And Macy too?"

"Yes of course Macy too. We'll protect both of our babies." Erin assured him.

"Okay." Micah pouted. "I don't wanna go back to sleep though."

"How about if you sleep in our room?" Jay asked.

"Yes, I want to. In the middle."

"You got it little man." Jay answered.

"Alright go see daddy he will carry you." Erin kissed his forehead handing him towards Jay. Could she carry Micah? Of course she could, but it was one hundred times easier for Jay to carry their kindergartener.

Micah snuggled up in between his parents in their bed. It took only a few minutes for him to be snoring quietly.

"It wasn't just a dream was it?" Erin whispered turning on her side to face Jay.

He shook his head with a sad knowing expression. "Probably not." He saw Erin's facial expression change as she tried not to cry. Jay scooted further up the bed and curled his body over Micah so his face rested just inches for Erin's. He dropped a kiss to her nose, and then peppered them on her face. Placing one on her cheek, one on her chin, and one final kiss on her lips.

"He doesn't know that though, baby. He thinks it's just a bad dream."

"I don't want him to turn out like me, Jay."

"I think you turned out pretty great."

"I don't want him to feel the pain, Jay. It breaks my heart that's he's seen things so similar to what I went through."

"Baby, he was to little. He doesn't remember enough. We got him in time. He's gonna have an amazing life. We are going to do everything in out power to make sure both our babies never have to experience the pain and struggle you had to, okay?"

"Yeah. Okay." Erin nodded still unsure. "I feel like an idiot for getting so upset."

"What? It means you are a good mommy, Er. It shows how much you care."

"I guess."

"Well, I don't guess. I know. My wife is the best wife and mother, and I'm 100% sure of that."

She smiled. "What would I do without you?"

"I don't know. Use a vibrator, I guess." Jay teased in an attempt to lighten the mood.

Erin's eyes grew wide. "Jay Halstead, my kids are in here."

He chuckled. "I know. I just couldn't pass up on the opportunity."

She smiled rolling her eyes. "You're an idiot."

"Your favorite idiot though." He retorted dropping a kiss to her forehead.

"That you are, baby. That you are."

Not long after Erin and Jay both dozed off leaving all four Halstead's peacefully asleep in one bedroom. Well, until baby Macy woke everyone up hungry at 5:30 am that is.
