Jay woke up early the next morning. He got up and went to the shower. He got out got dressed.

"Shane! Get up!" yelled Kyle

Shane got up from his bed and went into the shower.

"Dad,You alright?"

"Yeah. I'm fine. Go take a shower we are leaving in a bit. Uncle Jay is meeting us there."

"Ok."

Shane walked into the kitchen and grabbed a granola bar.

Erin called Jay .

"Jay,Do you wanna do something this weekend?"

"No,I am going camping with Shane and Kyle before he leaves again. I'm sorry Erin."

Erin picked up her cup of coffee.

"Jay,I understand. Go have spend some time with Kyle and Shane. You need it."

"Thanks Erin. Next weekend."

Jay packed his bag and jumped into his truck. He drove to Kyle's apartment and walked in.

"Shane,You ready for some fun."

"Yeah,Dad said He'll teach me how to shoot."

Reese texted him

R- Hey Shane,The Chicago Fire department is having the annual banquet. Do you wanna go?"

S- I can't. I'm going camping with my Uncle Jay and Dad.

R- ok. See you when you come back.

"I can teach you Shane."

Jay walked sat on the couch only to get up a couple seconds Later. Jay,Shane and Kyle hopped into the car. Jay drove to a nearby campsite in a couple cities over. It took 5 hours. Shane slept the whole way.

"Kyle,How's everyone over there?"

"Jay,this will be my last tour. My active duty is up this year so once it's done. I'm just going to stay home and raise my Son. I've missed too much of his life. I don't wanna miss anymore."

"There's this girl. That I'm in love with. Kyle,My partner. That's it. I wanna marry her but We aren't even dating."

"Jay,You have a problem there. Tell her how you feel. That's what I did to Maggie. But she left anyway. You know,I never thought I'd be a parent and going into the Army at 19, that's something no one wants to do. Jay,You and I. We've been best friends since Kindergarten. We went through a lot. Hell,You even wanted to steal my girl a couple times."

"Actually I did. Remember Kirsten and Amy."

"Oh right. That was before high school. The good ole days."

Kyle and Jay chuckled.

"Ally called me the other day."

"What did she want?"

"She wanted to go out for coffee. I told her no. I mean, She cheated on me twice,when I was overseas. Then she wanted to get back together with me. No. I told her I'm seeing someone."

"Good. She doesn't deserve you. But I know who does. Erin. She deserves your love. If you love her,then tell her that. Don't keep that in. You might not get a tomorrow. So tell her."

"Kyle,I'm just worried that If We break up we won't have the same friendship as before."

"You Halstead,You're worried about that. Erin must really mean a lot to you. Jay,just tell her."

"I will I mean. What can i lose."

Shane woke up. And sat up.

"Lose your job."

It was a moment of silence.

"Shane,Shut it!" Jay joked

Everyone chuckled.
"I'm joking,but you did her Voight. Right?"

Jay parked the car. Shane unbuckled his seatbelt and got out the car.

"The smell of fresh air. For the weekend. Hmm."

"Can we go shooting now?" begged Shane

Shane grabbed the rifle then went into the woods.

"I'll go with him." said Jay

Jay walked into the woods.

"Shane,Where are you?"

Shane cocked the gun and pointed it at the bird up in the tree.

"No. Shane hand it over." Jay grabbed the gun from him uncocked it and emptied the chamber.

"First Shane check to see if it's empty. Then you always keep it on safety. Then happy shooting after you know not to point it at anyone. Shane,There's these rules for a reason."

"Alright." Kyle stood there watching Jay help Shane. He smiled then ran into the woods.

"Uncle Jay! That was awesome!"

"Dad,I am having a lot of fun."

"I am too son."

"This is the best Thanksgiving weekend ever!" Shane exclaimed

Kyle walked over towards Shane and hugged him.

"Shane,You get to shoot a turkey."

"I do?" Shane looked puzzled

"Yeah and Kyle, Hank invited the team over to his house for Thanksgiving. I'll ask you can probably come eat with us. Maybe go Black Friday shopping because I know this little rascal." Jay said as he rubbed his hand through Shane's hair. "Wants the new Black Ops Game and a new Xbox!"

Shane sat down at the picnic table and smiled "I do want the new game and a new xbox."

"Jay,that's not the only reason you wanna go Black Friday shopping? Is it?" Kyle smiled then laughed

"Ok,no. I wanna get Erin this necklace with our initals on it. I mean, I'm telling her I love her on Christmas." Jay blushed,then chuckled

Erin walked up the steps to the District,and stopped in front of Platt

"Erin,What are you doing here?" asked Platt

Platt had a puzzled look on her face.

"I gotta talk to Hank." Erin stormed up the steps of Intelligence, and into Hank's office.

Hank turned around looked confused. He sat down in his chair. "Erin,What's wrong?" He asked

"Why do you keep telling me who I can and cannot date? Hank,I'm 32 I am old enough to make my own decisions. If Jay and I wanna date. Let us,because I know and you know Jay looks at me the same way you used to look at Camille. Hank, I love him. He's my partner, He's my best friend. He promised to always have my back and I'll always have his."

Hank cleared the lump from his throat,and began "Erin,I love how you stood up for love, I know that boy looks at you the same way I looked at Camille. Erin,You are like a daughter to me. I have always loved you like one. I'm not ready for you to get heartbroken like you did with Charlie. Erin,promise to always say hi and never forget about me? I'll give you my permission to date him on one condition."

"Hank,What?"

"You have to keep it modest and not be all lovey dovey at work. Got it."

"Ok."

Shane walked into the tent and sat next to Jay.
"Uncle Jay,Tell me the story you wanted to tell me."

"Alright. Shane,I was around your age. I moved schools to An expensive school. Ok. I was great at soccer. I met this kid his name was Owen. We were close friends. Not as close as your Dad and I. But We played soccer brother Will he always tried getting on our Dad's good side. My Mom got pregnant,and had a girl named Gracie. She's the best little sister ever but back to the point. Will,he became a Doctor's to be on my dad's good side. I never saw my life as a Doctor. I always wanted to be a hero. So that's what I became. My Dad always hated me from the time I was little to when I left for the Army. I know He doesn't wanna see him. Hell,He's probably still pissed that I left. Gracie she's around 19 now. I haven't seen her in a while though. She's in College. Last time I checked. M-My um Mom, she passed away a couple years back."

Gracie sent him a text "Hey Jay! Meet your nephew Easton Michael Halstead." with a picture attached.

Jay put a huge smile on his face.

"Jay,What happened?" Kyle walked over towards Jay and sat on the bed.

"Gracie,She had a baby today apparently."

"Isn't she like 19?"

"Yeah. You can't say anything because you had a kid at 19. He's kinda sitting right next to me." Jay chuckled.

The next morning the trio got up and pakced their bags and got the truck packed up so They could leave. Jay hopped into the truck and drove to Kyle's house dropped Kyle and Shane off then drove to his house.

He walked inside and sat down on his couch and turned his Tv on.

He sent his sister a text

"Hey Gracie! I would love to meet him. Can I come to the hospital?"

"Yeah sure. You can come now if you want. I'm sorry for not telling you about him."

He paused for a minute,grabbed his coat and walked out the door. He sat on the driver's seat with his phone on Erin's contact. He pressed sent and He sent the text.

I will have an update every week. But What did you think? Do you wanna see a lot more of his brother and sister? Linstead? Review!
