Chapter 15

Jay and Erin spent the rest of the afternoon and night playing with Jaylyn. Jay knew the call to deploy would come at any time but for now he was just enjoying his girls. Erin managed to snag them the next day off since they did not have to work on the case anymore. JayJay ended up falling asleep between her parents on the couch watching The Little Mermaid. Jay picked her up and carried her to bed with Erin close behind him.

Once they had their little girl all tucked in for the night, Jay and Erin retreated to their own room. They crawled in bed with Erin laying her head on Jay's chest. "I know you're scared," he whispered, "and I am too, but it'll be okay. Like Voight said, I'll probably stay stateside."

"I know," Erin replied, "but I just don't know that stateside is safe anymore either."

Jay sighed. He knew it would be hard, especially since a Marine reserve center was attacked, but he couldn't just not go. "I know sweetheart, but you have to stay strong for JayJay. I promise I will come back to both of you."

Erin nodded. She knew she needed to quit playing the what-if game, but it was hard, especially when she knew she had to care for Jay's daughter on her own. Of course, she was in the process of adopting, but she would always be Jay's priority, and Erin completely understood.

Jay rubbed Erin's head over and over until she finally fell asleep. Once he was sure she was good and asleep, he snuck out of bed. He went and stood in the doorway to JayJay's room. It was going to be hard leaving both of his girls behind, especially when he had just gotten them both, but he was a Ranger, and he had to do what was right to protect his country. Jay finally went back to bed and fell asleep; he knew JayJay would be up early, and he needed some sleep to keep up with her the next day.

Meanwhile across town, the drug lord Emmalyn had been working, Jeremey, was delivering the SD card to his tech. "Find out whatever you can about who she has been talking to. Someone is ratting out my business and they have to pay." The tech nodded and took the card. "Give me a couple hours and I'll have all the info you want." Jeremey nodded and left.

Emmalyn had been discovered by another one of the prostitutes, Sky. Sky managed to get another one of the girls to help her load Emmalyn into her car. Sky drove her straight to Lakeshore, and once she was taken into the ER, Sky left. She knew better than to be around when the cops showed up.

The ER doctor that night was none other than Will Halstead. Will started treating the woman for her multiple injuries. She had several broken ribs, a broken nose, and multiple bruises and scrapes. Of course he had to call it in to PD, but Will noticed a tattoo that he recognized. It was a jay bird and had the initials JFH on them. Right now she was just a Jane Doe until PD identified her, but if he had to guess, this was the girl that broke his brother's heart 2 years ago and came back with his niece.

He decided to call Jay just to be safe.

Jay woke up to his phone ringing at 3:30 in the morning. He noticed it was Will and answered right away.

"Jay, I had a patient come in tonight. PD is on their way, but I noticed something that caught my attention."

"And you're calling me at 3:30 in the morning why?"

"Jay, the patient had a tattoo that seemed vaguely familiar. Do you happen to know where Emmalyn disappeared off to after leaving you Jaylyn?"

"Not really, but she called yesterday to warn us off a case because she was under cover."

"Jay, is there any chance her cover was blown?"

"I doubt it, but there is always a possibility. Will you just get around to saying whatever it was you were going to say and stop hinting at things."

"Jay, my Jane Doe patient has a tattoo of a Jay bird and the initials JFH across it. Does Emmalyn have a tattoo like that?"

"I have no idea. Describe your patient to me."

"Dark hair, brown eyes, average height and weight."

"Will, is there a birthmark on her left side stomach?"

"Yeah."

"It's her. How bad is she?"

"Several broken ribs, broken nose, multiple bruises and scrapes. I'm going to have to a CAT scan to see if there is any enteral bleeding because she is bruised up so bad."

"Will, I was on the phone with her when someone came looking for her. Did she have a phone on her at all?"

"No. All she had was the clothes on her body. A prostitute dropped her off and left before any papers could be signed."

"Ok I'm on my way. I'll leave Erin with JayJay. Oh & Will?"

"Yeah?"

"I'll be deploying soon. Don't know when yet, but when I do, will you keep an eye on Erin and Jaylyn? She's real worried and I know she'll feel all alone and won't ask anyone for help if she needs it."

"Yeah of course. You don't even have to ask."

"Okay, see you soon."

"Bye."

Jay woke Erin up to tell her the news. She was terrified that something was going to happen to them, but he reassured her everything would be fine, and he would be back before she knew it. On his way to the hospital, he called Voight any ways to let him know the situation and Erin's fears.

Hank said he would call Erin and go stay with them until Jay was back if that made him feel better. Jay agreed it did.

When Hank got to their apartment, he found Erin sitting on the couch holding a sleeping Jaylyn. He came over and sat beside her.

"Erin, its okay sweetheart. I'm not going to let anything happen to either one of you." Hank could see she had been crying.

"I know. I just felt better holding her close to me." She laid her head over on Hank's shoulder. "What am I going to do while he's gone? I can't do this alone."

"You're not going to be alone. You have a whole team that is willing to help you and I'm sure Will will help out too."

"I know, but it's just not fair."

"I know Er bear, but life is never fair. We'll get through this though. Don't you worry."

Hank had called the rest of the team in to get back working on the case. He was going to take Jeremey down before he ever had a chance to strike back at the Halsteads.

While at the hospital, Jay positively identified Emmalyn. He was in ICU to recover from her extensive wounds, and Jay was just there for support. He wasn't her family, but he was the closest thing she had. He just hoped that by calling him, she had not endangered his family.

After sitting for an hour without any change to Emmalyn, Jay decided to go back home. Will promised to call if she woke up, but for now there was nothing he could do. On his way, he received the call he hoped would never come.

Jay would be deploying to Fort Benning, Georgia. He was to report for duty in exactly one week, and he would receive the rest of his orders there.

Jay returned to the apartment with a heavy heart. He knew this was going to crush Erin especial since their family might be in danger, but he ultimately had no choice.

A/N: So there is chapter 15. Another cliffhanger, means motivation to write. :) I do hope you will leave me a review telling me what you think. Up next: Jay reports to Fort Benning; Intelligence tries to stop a lethal drug Lord; Erin is left to take care of JayJay and protect her from a drug lord that wants her for revenge.
