Shane walked towards Jay's room and knocked on his door.
"It's Christmas!" He yelled
Jay fell off the bed and hit his head.
"Damn you Shane!" Jay got up and opened his door. Erin was still sleeping.
"Erin! Come on wake up!" Jay tapped her shoulder and woke her up.
"Hm,I'm coming."
Erin got out of bed, Jay handed Shane a couple boxes. He tore the wrapping paper open.
"Dad said I wasn't getting a new phone til March." Shane said
"Eh,We lied."
Jay grabbed a box and handed it to Erin. She looked at him,then looked back at the box and tore it open. She opened it up to a German Shepherd.
"You got me a dog?" She looked confused.
"I thought you would want a dog. And plus I kinda want one. What are you going to name it?"
Jay kissed Erin on the head. Shane picked up another box and tore it open. He got an Xbox.
"Whoo! I got an Xbox! Thank you."
"Shane,there's someone who's been watching you this whole time."
"What'd you mean?"
"We are skyping your Dad right now. He's watching you open your presents." Jay got up and moved the pillow that's hiding the laptop.
"Hey Son! I just wanted to call and Say Merry Christmas and I love you. Have a Great Day. And you and I are playing that game when I get back. I'm gonna kick your butt!"
"Dad,I miss you and Merry Christmas. I'm gonna kick your butt on that game. I love you and see you when you get back."
Erin sat on the floor playing with the puppy.
"How about Wrigley like Wrigley Field."
"Erin,I like that name."
"I thought you might knowing you're a Cubs Fan."
"How about Ace?" Shane walked over to the puppy pet him.
"I like Ace."
"I do too." said Jay
"Ace Midnight Halstead is his name."
"Erin,There's one more thing I wanna give you." Jay grabbed the tiny box and handed it to her.
"Jay,What is this?" Erin looked a bit confused
"Your present. Open it."
Erin ripped open the box and it revealed a necklace with Erin and Jay's initals.
"Jay,I..I have no words. It's beautiful."
Jay and Erin hugged and then kissed.
"Erin,I love you." Jay whispered into her ear before kissing her again.
"Wow! ok. Do you not notice me here still?" Shane joked
"Oh right. Who wants breakfast?" asked Jay
"I do!"
"How about we go to the omlet place on 5th street."
"Ok." Everyone got dressed then they all got into the truck and left.
"What a Nice little family you have." said the waitress
Jay and Erin looked at each other.
"He's not my son. I'm helping my best friend raise him. Since He's overseas saving the country."
"Oh. I'm sorry. You should be overseas helping him."
Jay got up from his seat.
"Actually I did. 4 tours in Afghanistan and I got a medical discharge. Now I'm a Detective for the Intelligence Unit."
"Oh wow! I'm sorry."
"Come on Jay. Let's go to Hank's house."
They all got into the truck and drove off.
"Hey Hank! Hope you don't mind us coming for breakfast. The lady at the restaurant was rude."
"Great. Come in."
"I'm moving somewhere's where it doesn't snow in the winter." said Shane
Everyone chuckled,
"You do that kid." Jay ruffled his hand through his hair.
Kim woke up and looked at Adam.
"Wake up!" she yelled
"Hmm." Adam woke up with a smile, and got out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Kim asked
"I am going to get your present." Kim got out of bed and followed him.
Adam grabbed a tiny box and looked straight at Kim.
He knelt down on one knee and opened the box up. Kim started crying.
"Kim,I am always the happiest when I'm around you. I love you to the moon and back. Kim,I want you to be the one I wake up to every morning. I want you to be the mother of my kids. Kim,Will you marry me?"
Kim shook her head, yes. Adam put the ring on her finger.
They both hugged.
"Grandpa!" Grant and Mikey came running into the house taking their coats off.
"Hey Grant! Hey Mikey!" said Shane
"Hey Shane!"
"Dad,Can we go back outside?" asked Grant
"Yeah. Sure."
"Boys,Put your coats on!" yelled Olive
Shane put his coat on before going outside. Grant was already outside making a snowball to throw at Shane or Mikey.
"Mikey,Don't you dare!" Mikey chugged a snowball at Shane.
A truck pulled up to the driveway or what's left of the driveway. Reese hopped out the truck. She ran up to the snow and made a snowball. Then chugged it at Grant.
"She's got an arm." said Mikey
"Back off boys. I'm taken." said Reese
Reese kissed Shane on the cheek. He blushed.
"Aww. Shane!" the boys started making fun of him.
"I'm going inside. It's cold!" complained Grant
"You are such a sissie. Stop complaining."
Grant marched inside the house. Followed by everyone else.
"It's too cold?" asked Hank
"Yeah. A little too cold." said Reese

Jay and Shane get out the truck and proceeded inside Zale's
"Uncle Jay,what are we buying here?" asked Shane
"I'm gonna propose to Erin. She's my one and only."
The two walk in and immediately Jay sees a ring that pops out to him. It's a diamond ring with tiny diamonds around it.
"I'm getting this one." said Jay
Jay told the guy helping them they want the ring.
"I love that ring Uncle Jay."
"I'm glad you do."
Jay bought the ring then put it inside his jacket pocket. He drove to the district.
"Hank,Can I uh talk to you?" asked Jay
"Yeah."
Jay followed Hank into his office,and sat down.
"Hank,Can I have your blessing to marry Erin?"
Hank looked surprised
"Jay,I knew it was going to happen. Jay,Promise to always protect her?"
"Promise. I'll always protect her."
"Jay,If you don't. You'll be at the bottom of Lake Michigan."
"I'll protect her til the day I die."
Hank shook his hand.
"You may have my blessing."
