"N-Nadia. G-Get Erin."

"Oh yeah where is that bitch anyway? Probably screwing another man." Jack said
"No how about you leave." Erin said
"Oh there's the whore." Erin walked towards him but Nadia pushed her back.
"Nadia let me go. He deserves what he's getting.." Jay stepped in front of her.
"Do we have a problem asshole?" Jay asked
"Not that I know of I just wanna see my daughter." Jack spat pushing Jay out of the way. Jay pushed him back.
"I'd advise you to leave before I make you. Erin doesn't want you around our daughter, so leave. Now."
"Your daughter last I checked you didn't get Erin pregnant four years ago."
"You remember how old she is, how did you get out of jail? You were charged with two counts of manslaughter."
"I got out on compliance. I want to see my daughter.."
"Mommy, when can we open presents?" Alex asked
"I'm guessing that's her." Jack said
"Alex come see. Let's go play.." Shane and Daniel both said pushing her into the play room.
"Jack you are never meeting her. So leave.."
"What is this guy doing around our daughter Erin? He's not her father."
"Oh and you are? You've been gone her whole life Jackson. He's more of a father than you ever were. Being drunk half the damn time. You weren't there for me."
"Erin you are fucking oblivious. This guy isn't going to be there for you."
"Jack leave now."
"I will. I just wanted to tell you I'm filing for custody." Jay shut the door on his face and locked it. Erin looked up at him and burst into tears.
"He can't take her away. She's the best thing that's ever happened to me.." Alex came running into the living room and straight into her mom's arms.
"Mommy, I love you." She said
"Oh baby girl I love you too."
"Jay.." Jay backed away and sat on the couch.
"Jay do you want me? What do you want? You don't seem to know it."
"Erin, of course I want you. I haven't stopped smiling since I met you. I just said those things because I know you were unsure.. I didn't want to make you uncomfortable.."
"I was only unsure because of her, and you pretended to be my boyfriend and her dad… That made me even more sure of you.. I want you even more.."
"So are we a thing now? I don't know. I haven't done this dating thing in a while.." Jay laughed before giving her a kiss.
"I just met you a week ago and It's felt like a lifetime.."
"I like you Jay Halstead.." Jay smiled then kissed her again.
"Mommy why are you kissing Jay?" Jay bent down and picked her up.
"Alex Mommy has something to tell you.." Alex smiled
"Are you dating Mr. Jay?" Erin laughed then smiled
"Yeah. I am. And He's going to be stay with us." Shane overheard
"OH hell no. I'm not staying." Shane spat running out the door.
"Shane!" Jay put Alex down then ran after him.
"Dad no save it. You said you weren't going to date another woman. Not after Amy. You said it. Dad you told me straight to my face when I was fucking 9. This isn't fair to me."
"Shane I've finally found someone who makes me happy. It's time I get something good."
"Dad I don't even wanna see your face. Go fuck your new girlfriend and call her daughter yours."
Shane realized what he had said. Knew he was at the wrong. He was just mad that his dad didn't acknowledge his mom anymore.
"Dad, you deserve Erin.."
"Why did you say those things? I get it you are mad, but I deserve love just as much as you do kid. This isn't going to change anything between us. You are still my son.."
"Dad You deserve love.. I guess it's taking me a while to figure it out.." Jay hugged his son tightly
"There's something you should know…" Jay pulled away from his son
"I reenlisted in the Army. I got called back for next week.."
"You are leaving? Wh where am I going to stay? You can't just leave like that dad."
"Shane. I have to go.."
"Why did you reenlist? I mean you had me. You had a great freaking life. You have a brand new freaking girlfriend. What are you going to tell her huh?"
"Shane I'll deal with that later."
"What are you going to deal with later Jay?" Erin asked
"Dad has to go back.." Erin looked at Jay then back at Shane with a confused look.
"Back in the Army.. I got called back.." Jay said
Erin ran back inside and into her room then locked the door she slid up against it and started crying.
"Dad.. See." Nadia ran towards her room.
"Erin, open up.." Nadia spat
"No. I'm not.."
Nadia pushed the door open and sat right next to Erin and held her in her arms. "Erin you gotta go talk to him?"
"I will just let me." Erin stood up then walked out the door and walked towards Jay. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"If you have to go then go, I'll be here waiting for you but you aren't going to be here for the trial. You will be gone. Your son I guess can stay with me." Shane shook his head.
"Hell no. I'm not staying. Dad you can't.." Shane shouted.
"Shane, it's final.." Shane scoffed then walked into the playroom and sat by Dj.
"I hate this.."
"My dad was in the Army before he died.. I know how you feel." Daniel said
"It's just he was here. Now he's not going to be here.."
"Yeah.. He'll come back. He always does.."
Alex walked out of the playroom and smiled at her mom. "Mommy, is Jay my new daddy?"
"I don't know Alex.. I gotta tell you something.." Hank walked into the door and smiled at his family.
"Your real daddy." Erin cleared her throat before continuing "He came back this morning. You know that man standing in the doorway talking to mommy. He told me that he wanted to fight so he could see you on the weekdays or weekends.."
Hank looked at Erin his eyes turning red. "Oh hell no. I'll have him thrown in jail. This is not happening. Hell no." Hank spat throwing his bags down.
"Hank.." Erin spat
"No Hank nothing. He's not taking my baby girl. He's not getting anywhere's near her. I'll fight till my death so he doesn't get that kid.." Erin let go of her daughter and got up.
"He came by this morning and told me. I haven't been the same Hank.. I can't wrap my head around it.."
"I'm gonna have him in jail.." Hank spat
Erin didn't want to argue. She stood there watching him. Alex looked up at her family who was too busy arguing.
Jordan stepped out from the kitchen and saw his grandpa.
"Hey Grandpa…" Jordan said
"Jordan Henry Voight get your butt over here son." Jordan laughed and hugged his grandpa.
"Erin.." Jay said
"Jay, I can't lose her, or you."
"Erin, I'm not going anywhere…" Jay said wrapping his arms around Erin and holding her tight.
"Mr. Jay, I can tell mommy loves you." Jay looked at Hank who was smiling away then bent down and picked up the four year old girl.
"And I love your Mommy." Jay kissed Erin then hugged Alex tighter.
"Mommy is he going to be my new daddy?"
"Yeah I guess he is, but first he's gotta tell you something." Erin let go of his shoulder then walked back.
"What is it?" Alex asked in her cute puppy dog face and voice.
"Well I have to go save my friend. Overseas for six months." Alex looked at her mom then back at Jay who was still holding her in his arms.
"So that means you are leaving? But you just got here."
"Yeah well.. I have to leave next week but don't worry I'll be back before you know then I'm going to take you and Shane out to Navy Pier and we'll ride the ferris wheel." Alex smiled
"Why do you have to go? First my real daddy now you." Alex pouted
"Hey look kid I'm coming back. I'll just be gone for a few months." Alex got attached real easy to the man.
The next morning Jay smiled at the two girls who were standing outside playing in the snow. Erin picked up her daughter and kissed her head. "Alex I love you so damn much."
"Daddy." Alex said
Erin looked down at her child then at Jay.. "Alex, you.."
"Mommy, if he loves you, and you love him. And I love him then he's my daddy. Besides he promised he'd come back, and Uncle Tony told me any guy promises that is a real man. He's my new daddy."
"I guess he is.." Jay smiled
Shane stood watching. He put his shoes on then ran out and started throwing a snowball at his dad. Jay turned around and threw on back. Shane laughed as he fell into the cold snow. Alex jumped ontop of him and fell back.
"Ow girl." Shane laughed
"Look Alex I love you like my own little sister. If you ever need something just let me know. I'll be there if you have guy troubles or something. Anything I'm here.."
Alex smiled and hugged Shane. "Is he my big brother? Like how Lee Henry has a big brother?" Erin and Jay both laughed then hugged each other.
"I am. I guess.. Look Erin I'm not calling you mom you aren't my mom. Never will be."
"I'm not trying to replace your mom.." Shane rolled his eyes
"Good because you will never.."
"Shane Joshua.."
Shane rolled his eye then ran inside and played with his xbox that was in the toyroom. Alex got up ran and sat in the room.
"Shane what happened to your mommy?" Shane smiled
"She passed away when I was just a little kid, about your age. I don't really talk about her much. It's just been my dad and I. Look Alex I don't want you to feel like I'm getting mad over all of this. I just wish my mom was still here.."
"Shane, is it okay if I call your dad, daddy?" Shane picked her up and sat her on his lap, She laughed
"Sure kid, if that makes you happy. Then go for it. He's yours now I guess."
"Dad!" Shane shouted
"Yeah son?"
"Jay I am leaving to go out with Kim for a little while to get somethings for Alex. I'll be back later. Can you watch her?" Jay nodded his head then gave her a kiss.
"Sure."
"Can we go see Grandpa?"
"Hey Alex come see." Alex ran out of the room and stood in front of Jay and Shane.
"Go put on your jacket, and your boots I guess. We are leaving.." Alex ran to the door and grabbed her boots then sat down and put them on. Looking up at Shane and Jay she smiled at the two.
"It's weird." Shane spat as he put on his jacket.
"What is?" Jay asked
"Having a." Shane put his air quotes up in the air then laughed "Little Sister.. I never thought you would start dating someone.."
"I think I might've found my soulmate Shane.. She completes me.. Can you feel that way after a week?"
"Dad, you can. I gotta tell you something.." Shane said "Now before you get mad at me. I'm not on drugs and I can tell you that I'm the reason behind the kidnapping robbery last week. I didn't mean for it to happen I didn't want it to happen. I just was trying to catch them, t they killed Jules th-they are the ones selling the fentanyl you are trying to catch.. Uncle James asked me to look into it after Uncle Tyler died in the fire, th they found fentanyl right by him, they think it's Arson suicide.. I think it's just arson. Uncle Tyler would never just kill himself. Uncle James told me the reason why you don't talk to Uncle Will.."
"Why the hell do you have fentanyl Shane Joshua Halstead.."
"I am undercover with Antonio…" Shane looked down but his dad grabbed his face and picked it up.
"Dad look I'm not high. I'm not taking drugs but the guys last week. T They knew who I was. T they knew I had some. That's what they wanted. They obviously knew I had it.." Jay's eyes widened big.
"Shane, you are undercover. You are only fifteen. Your last name is Halstead. How the hell did they not catch that."
"I have an alias.. Look you can't tell anyone. I don't want anything to happen to you Erin or Alex.. They said if they had a snitch their whole family would be dead.."
"Shane t the reason I don't talk to your uncle is because of my mom. She died when I was ten, Your uncle is 5 years older than me. I was pissed off he was out partying. And He came back and I didn't really have the best reaction. I punched him then he punched me back. I never talked to him again. Your Uncle James was pissed at me, and Uncle Tyler didn't speak to me for a year.. Everyone was mad except your grandpa.. Will was the oldest, he took off, never came back. I looked up to him until he did what he did. That's why I was mad at him.."
"Daddy, Where are we going?" Alex asked
"My dad's house.."
"I am still not used to her yet.." Shane spat
"You aren't supposed to son, it takes time. When are you getting a girl?"
"When I find someone who doesn't care that I'm weird.. Everyone cares about you, no one cares about your flaws. You just gotta be perfect.."
"I know someone that would be perfect for you. Well just wait until we go inside.." Jay smiled. Shane unbuckled himself and kept wondering what the hell it meant. He never understood his dad, but sometimes he did.
"Dad, what the hell does that mean?" Alex unbuckled herself then followed Jay into the house. Shane smiled then followed them.
"Hey Dad!" Jay said hugging his father.
Alex looked around. His Dad Joe smiled at the kid. "Who's kid? Did you have another kid?" Jay laughed
"My girlfriend went shopping and Shane wanted to come see you so we took her with us.." Jay bent down and picked her up. "Alex say hi." Alex buried her head in his shoulder, acting shy
Shane sat on the couch turned on the tv and started watching football.
"Dad so.."
"I invited Will and James over.." Joe said
"Dad, what the hell." Will walked into the door first, holding his girlfriend's hand with his daughter on her hip.
"Jay, what are you doing here?"
"I came to see Dad, besides Shane wanted to see him.."
"Oh, Dad you could have told me this." Will spat
"Oh sorry I just thought we all could have a talk about Tyler.. The investigations came back." Shane overheard and his head shot up.
"Hold on. I have something to say." Shane shouted
"Shane wait, I need to finish."
"Uncle Tyler didn't kill himself. He was killed by someone who set the fire." Shane spat
