Chapter 19

3 months later

It was their wedding day. They'd had a short engagement because they were just so excited to make everything official. Everyone already knew they were a family, but Erin and Jay both wanted it completely official as soon as possible. Erin was over the moon happy. Jay had been home for three months, and it had been the best three months of their lives.

After Jay returned, they discussed work. She told him how happy she was just spending everyday with JayJay, but Jay didn't want her to give up her job. Plus they really needed both incomes. So she'd talked it over with Hank, and he told her to do whatever made her happy. Some weeks she worked 4 days, some 3 days, and some 2 days. It really just depended on what the case load was for the week. Sometimes she missed working the streets with Jay, but for now the desk was her best option. Jay never argues with her, but he was always curious as to what made Erin want to stay on the desk.

But enough about work. Today was her wedding day! They weren't taking the total traditional route, but she was having a formal wedding. Hank would be walking her down the aisle. Nadia was her maid-of-honor, and Kim was a bridesmaid. Antonio was Jay's best man, and Adam was a groomsman. JayJay was their flower girl & ring bearer because she would carry their rings in the bottom of her basket.

Erin hadn't planned on seeing Jay before the ceremony at noon, but she'd gotten sick again that morning & Jay had come to hold her hair back. "Are you sure you're ok?" he asked. This wasn't their first time she'd woken up sick in the mornings, but it was never consistent so Jay didn't think anything of it. She always just blamed it on food she'd eaten.

"Yes, yes I'm fine. Besides it's our wedding day and we are not postponing this." Jay pulled her into a hug. "Wouldn't have even suggested it, Babe." Not long after that the girls arrived and shooed Jay out of the apartment. Erin had given Antonio Jay's present yesterday before she left work. She couldn't wait for him to open it because she knew she would be getting a phone call.

The girls all helped get JayJay ready and then started on Erin. They were finished with her hair and was just fixing to start on her makeup when her phone rang. Nadia answered it. "No, Jay, I have not let her run away. She's getting ready and can't talk." After a beat Erin heard Nadia say, "Yea, yea ok hang on." Erin was struggling to contain her laughter. She knew what he was calling about, and she couldn't wait to be able to let the secret out.

"Hey, Babe, what's up?" she asked casually.

"Erin, this present, is it a joke?" he finally choked out.

"No, Jay, it's real. I did it yesterday and knew it would be the perfect present along with the pictures." She'd done a photo shoot of pictures just for him, but this he was referring to was something extra. Something no one but the two of them knew about. "Erin, baby, you have made me the happiest man on the face of the earth. Who knows?"

"Just us. But I figure we need to tell since the girls are standing here looking at me funny," she said on a laugh.

"Give me five minutes, and we'll be over."

"Ok," Erin said. "Hank should be here by then."

After they hung up, Erin had the girls finish her makeup. True to his word, within five minutes Jay was walking through the door followed by Antonio and Adam. Erin could hear JayJay running through the living room. She would be three next month, and Erin couldn't wait for the party. She could hear JayJay excitedly telling Jay how "pretty mommy" was. About that time there was a knock on the door followed by, "What the… heck… Halstead?" Erin knew that was her cue because Hank had finally arrived.

She wasn't in her dress yet, but she was still stunningly beautiful to Jay. "He's here because we have some news we want to share with yall," Erin said. Jay walked to her side; "But first we have to tell JayJay something." Jay was still holding her so he grabbed Erin's hand and took off for their bedroom. She was glad she'd left the dress in the bathroom because she didn't want him seeing it just yet.

Within a few minutes JayJay went running back into the living room with the biggest smile on her face. Jay and Erin weren't far behind her, so they heard her announce to everyone, "I'm going to be a big sister!"

Everyone was shocked at first, but then they offered their congratulations and asking when. Erin told that'd she'd just found out for sure yesterday, but she's suspected for a while and that is why she chose to stay on the desk. She said that she was three months along, and she was due sometime in April. She could probably pinpoint the date of conception back to the night Jay came home. They definitely had not remembered any kind of protection, and during the six months he'd been gone, she usually forgot to take her pill because she was always so tired and stressed and worried by the end of the day.

Everyone was so excited for them. Finally all the guys, except Hank, left so she could finish getting ready. They had exactly one hour until the ceremony would start in the park. She chose the park for their wedding because she loved the colors this time of year, and October was still warm enough to have an outdoor wedding. Hank told her how beautiful she looked once she was in her dress, and that he was so proud of the woman and mother she'd become. He was so excited to be a grandpa all over again.

The ceremony was absolutely perfect. The bride was absolutely stunning and positively glowing. The groom cried when he saw her in her dress for the very first time. He'd never seen someone look as beautiful as Erin as she walked down the aisle to him. He promised Hank he would always love and take care of her. They said 'I do' and exchanged their vows promising to always love each other no matter what.

After what seemed like 5,000 pictures, they cut the cake and partied with their family and friends. Jay was surprising Erin with a honeymoon so when it came time to leave she was honestly excited. Hank was going to be keeping JayJay for the week while they were gone. Erin wasn't sure if Hank or JayJay was more excited about it. They said their goodbyes and promised JayJay they would call at least once a day. JayJay didn't even cry when they left. Her baby was growing up, but she another one that would be following in his/her big sister's footsteps before long.

Erin was so exhausted from the day's events that she fell asleep in the car. Jay woke her several hours later, and they were parked outside the most beautiful cabin Erin had ever seen. Erin just sat their taking in the beauty of it.

"Jay, this is gorgeous."

"I thought you might like it."

"Oh, I do. Where are we?"

"This is my cabin in Wisconsin I've told you about." To say Erin was shocked was an understatement. She imagined a shack in the woods every time he talked about this place, but this looked like absolute paradise. She couldn't ever remember being this happy, and she was extremely excited for what the future held for her and Jay and their growing family. Who would've thought a girl like her would ever be experiencing this kind of happiness. Not her, that is for sure, but her heart was overflowing for the man sitting beside her, and all he promised for their future.

Well there is chapter 19. If you guessed at the beginning that Jay and Erin would be sharing the news of a new baby than kudos to you! I hope you liked that little twist. I know this chapter ending sounds kind of final, but I promise there is one more chapter. It's looking to be more of an epilogue so I hope you will enjoy it. Plus, you'll learn more about the baby in the last chapter. Also check out my new story if you haven't already. Like I said I'm extremely excited about it. Hope you'll leave me your thoughts on this chapter and I'll be back soon with chapter 20. :)
