Jay's POV: it's been a week since Thanksgiving and here in a few days I have to go back to work. Baby Camryn just turned a month old yesterday I can't believe it seems like yesterday she was born. She still can't sleep through the night but she has gone in longer stretches over the last few days. Right now erin and Camryn i'm taking a nap so I am watching some TV while they are sleeping. About 30 minutes later I hear baby Camryn crying over the baby monitor so I hurry up and get her before she wakes Erin up. ( in Camryn's room)

J= good afternoon baby girl did you have a nice nap ( she doesn't answer) well I will take it as a yes ( Camryn starts to cry) oh it seems like you want to get up come here baby girl ( picks her up and smells her stinky diaper) and looks like you need a change ( I change her and she still cries) let me guess you are hungry all right let's go get your bottle ( in the kitchen) here you go ( takes the bottle ) now you feel better let's go watch some tv while we wait for mommy to wake up ( about 5 minutes later)
E= hey there is my favorite two people
J= I hope we didn't wake you up
E= no it's fine I was getting up soon anyways
J= so how was your nap
E= it was good I need that sleep
J= I bet you do
E= oh yeah I hope soon she likes sleep just a little more so we can get some sleep too
J= oh yeah Especially since I go back to work soon
E= oh man don't remind me
J= hopefully here In the next few weeks you can go back to work soon too
E=Yeah that's true
J= so what are you ready for either me or you to go back to work
E= no I am not ready for either of us to go back to work
J= I know what you mean so before you can go back to work we should probably figure out what we are going to do with Little Miss Camryn
E= what do you mean babe
J= like who is going to watch this little girl when we are both at work
E= I don't know
J= I was thinking maybe will and Natalie could watch her
E= I don't think so babe
J= why not
E= well for one they are getting ready to have a newborn anyways. They don't need to worry about another newborn before they have theirs
J= oh yeah good point
E= and for two we both work some crazy hours I don't think we should have them deal with no sleep before they have their kid
J= another good point so what do we do
E= maybe we can hire a nanny
J= I guess we can
E= that way we only have one person watch her and maybe have her be on call all the time
J= oh yeah we will start looking for a nanny here soon
E= yeah hey when do you have to go back to work
J= I think I start back Monday why
E= well maybe before you go back to work we can find a nanny so I don't have to worry about it before I go back to work
J= all right that works tomorrow we call a nanny service and set them up for this weekend so we will be happy with whoever watch is our daughter
E= that works for me so what's for dinner
J= I have no clue I didn't get anything out so how about let's go and get some fast food
E= I love that idea so what place are we going to
J= I don't know what are you feeling for supper tonight
E= I don't know maybe some chicken
J= so either KFC or canes your choice
E= oh let's see how about canes
J= all right so do you want me to go Get the food and bring it back or would you like to come along to get the food
E= how about a little family drive
J= I would love that
E= all right I am going to freshen up while you get her ready to go
J= deal babe can I drive please
E= yes you can my wonderful husband
J= you are my angel do you know that
E= yes I do you are my Prince Charming
J= oh how sweet but go because I am so hungry
E= I am hungry too babe

Within five minutes we get ready and go and grab some food. After we got our food we decide since it was still warm our we would go to a local park and eat our food. ( at the park )

J= wow i'm surprised it's this warm out specially this time of year
E= oh yeah I agree this chicken is so good
J= couldn't agree more I'm glad you decided on this tonight
E= same here I make Good choices
J= you make great choices babe
E= why thank you babe
J= you're welcome you know what I would love to see before I go back to work
E= what is it
J= maybe a sweet little smile from myform my little girl
E= well according to the books and stuff they said she should start smiling at us after being a-month-old so she should be smiling soon
J= well maybe we can get her to try and give us a smile
E= oh yeah let's try ( to Camryn) can you smile for daddy ( nothing happens)
J= come on baby girl please smile for daddy
( still nothing)
E= how about we try and tickle her and maybe she will smile then
J= good idea maybe she has the same ticklish spot as her mother her feet
E= that's not true
J= would you like me to test that out to prove i'm right
E= you better not
J= what are you going to do if I do this ( tickles Erin)
E= (laughs) come on Jay stop please
J= ( see Camryn smiling) look babe
E= oh she is smiling
J= I think she was smiling at you getting tickled and your laugh
E= oh so baby girl you think that was funny that I was getting tickled
J= ( still smiling) oh yeah it was but she has the cutest little smile ever just like her mother
E= how sweet are you but are you happy you got to see her smile at least once before you head back to work
J= oh yeah so happy

We stayed at the park for about another half an hour and then we headed home to relax a little bit before bed. Over the next couple days we spent so much time as possible as a family together. Right now it's the morning on my first day back luckily Hank told me I don't have to come in until 8 o'clock so I don't have to wake up too early. When I woke up in the morning I saw you get out of bed without waking erin up and go get in the shower. Once I get out of the shower I get dressed and head to the kitchen to make me some breakfast and make some coffee about a half an hour later I finish my breakfast and it's time to leave so I can grab my gun and badge out of the safe right when I open the door to leave I hear Erin coming into the room with Camryn in her arms.

J= I hope I didn't wake you guys
E= no it's fine besides I wanted to say goodbye to you
J= oh how sweet
E= and maybe it's because I wanted to give you a goodbye hug
J= of course you did come here you too ( they hug) I am going to miss you guys so much today
E= we are too we just want you to be safe out there today
J= I will don't worry about it
E= I will always worry about but as long as you're never going to fall back up it will be okay
J= I promise I will never go in without back up I swear to God
E= good because I'm not ready to live without you
J= couldn't agree more
E= well you better go before you were late on your first day back
J= make a very good point ( kiss Camryn) I love you baby girl be good for mommy
E= I think she will be an angel
J= let's hope so I love you babe ( they kiss )
E= I love you too
J= see you tonight
E= all right see you

After I finally leave I head straight to work once I live I walk inside and for some reason platt greets me with a happy face

P= hey halstead Great to see you back at work how is erin and your daughter
J= they both are doing great thanks for asking
P= no problem have a great day at work today
J= I will you do the same
P= all right

It felt weird to have that conversation with Platt because she has never been that nice to me before i'll let it go for now. Once I get over platt's niceness told me I had upstairs in the first one that notices that I am back is Antonio

AD= look who's back Jay Halstead The detective,the husband and now the father welcome back
J= thanks bro that means a lot
AD= you're welcome so how are Camryn and Erin doing
J= they are great thanks for asking
AD= no problem so how has your sleep been been had Camryn slept through the night yet
J= oh no she hasn't but she is getting better at sleeping longer each time
AD= well I hope you get some sleep very soon
KA= also hope Erin get some rest too
J= thanks guys we hope so too
HV= hey halstead Great to see you back how is it at home
J= things are going great
HV= that's good
J= so since I'm back who do I get partnered up with
HV= Who ever you want
AR= wait he gets to choose
HV= Oh yeah He can have anyone he wants
J= so who wants to be my partner ( They all raise their hands)
AR= please pick me I never get chosen for anything
AD= he sounds like a little kid
J= yes he does so I decided I am going to choose Kevin
KA= Smart choice since I'm the best cop in this unit
AR= that isn't true Kevin
KA= i'm sorry my mistake I'm the best cop in this unit besides Erin
AR= still not true Kevin
J= I love it I'll make sure to tell Erin that you said that
KA= Great so we are partners today
J= yes so I have to go over a few rules with you before the day starts
AR= wow Jay has holes I am glad he didn't pick me after all
KA= all right so what's up
J= First thought is something me and Erin came up with a long time ago and she reminded me of it when I left this morning
KA= okay what is it
J= don't ever going in without back up and don't let me go in alone or else erin would kill you if I got hurt and I don't think you want that
KA= oh no sir I don't
J= good so the last rule is something I made up on my way here this morning which is since
Erin isn't here I am the only one that drives in this partnership got it
KA= got it
AR= hey Kevin if only you were with me still I would let you drive but sorry about your luck
KA= It's okay Adam you buy drinks the next time we're out
AD= I love that idea let's get to work boys

Erin's POV: it's been a little over a week since Thanksgiving and today was Jay's first time going back to work since Camryn was born which also means that she is four weeks old already. It seems like yesterday we were still waiting on her to be born over the last couple days we spent a lot of time together as a family. We also found a nanny to watch her once I go back to work in a few weeks. Once we said goodbye to jay this morning we both lay back down on the couch for another hour. Once I knew she wasn't wanting to sleep any longer I walk to the kitchen to make me some much-needed coffee but once I walked in the kitchen I notice a pot full of coffee was already made and a plate with eggs and bacon was on the counter

E= " dear Erin I am loving this little note to remind you that you got this you are the best mother to Camryn I love you both see you when I get home love Jay" I swear to God I'm going to have to call daddy already just to say thank you ( calling jay )
J= hey babe
E= Jay Alexander's you know how sweet you are
J= so let me guess she found my note I left you
E= yes I did and also thank you for making breakfast and coffee for me
J= you're welcome I just hope you have a great day today
E= well you made me smile already so I think we will have a great day
J= that's good
E= so I hope you have a great day also
J= me too I love you guys
E= we love you too have fun at work we will see you when you get home
J= I will I'm counting down the minutes till I can see you guys
E= we are too tell everyone we said hello
J= Will do bye babe
E= bye babe ( hangs up)

So after I get off the phone with Jay I warm up my food and warm up Camryn a bottle too and then we sit down and eat our breakfast together. Once we get done eating we both just sit down on the ground and hang out for a while. About an hour later it was time to lay Camryn down for a nap once I laid her down I decided to clean up the house and do some laundry that has been piling up for a couple days now. About two hours later I start to make me some lunch when I hear Camryn waking up so I go and grab her before I make my food ( In Camryn's room)

E= hey baby girl did you sleep well ( she smiles) I will take that as a yes, oh girl you stink let's get you changed ( I get her changed all right let's go out to the living room ( we do ) no I'm going to put you down what I make me some food ( put Camryn down and then she starts to cry) oh come here I guess you don't want me to put you down let me go grab a carrier so I can get some stuff done on the house ( she fines one and gets Camryn in it) do you like that baby girl ( she smiles ) good now I can make me something to eat and maybe I'll make you a bottle too .

Once I was able to get Camryn calm down and make me some French bread pizza for lunch. Once I made my food I made Camryn her second bottle for the day. Once we both eat I put her back in the carrier so I can get more stuff done around the house. About three hours later we both got tired so me and Camryn take a nap on the couch together.

Jay's POV; it was finally the end of the day luckily the case we caught today was a easy open and shut case so I have to head home by 5 PM. On my way home I try and call Erin To see if she has made supper yet and she didn't answer I decide to pick up our favorite takeout anyways and get home as fast as possible to my girls. When I walk I'm realized how quiet it is so I tiptoe in the house to make sure I don't make a noise as I keep tiptoeing in I noticed both my girls are asleep on the couch. So I go and put the food in the kitchen and come back and sit and stare at my girls sleeping for a minute. About five minutes later I decide to lean over and kiss Erin on the fore head and she starts to wake up

J= hey there Beautiful
E= hey how long have you been there staring at me
J= only a few minutes
E= oh wow I must have been tired what time is it
J= It's about 5:45 PM now I know why you didn't pick up when I called you earlier
E= you called me I didn't hear my phone
J= yeah I called to see if you made supper yet and you didn't answer
E= yes sorry about that
J= don't worry about it besides you look like you were busy
E= yeah i was
J= so how was your day today
E= it was pretty good but after she woke up from her first nap she didn't want to be put down so I had to put her in one of the carriers we got and carry around the house. It was a little challenging at first but I wouldn't change it for the world
J= well that's good
E= yeah we got some stuff done around the house like most importantly laundry so you now have some clean clothes to wear to work now
J= that's good I would have been happy to do that when I got home anyways
E= I know you would have but I wanted to do something while she was taking her first nap today
J= thank you my housewife
E= you're welcome my house husband but this is your only time you get to call me your housewife got it Mister
J= I got it I don't want to cross Miss Lindsay ever again
E= first off it's Mrs. halstead and second good thing you learned your lesson there Mr. halstead
J= oh I did I know who the bosses in this marriage
E= you better but I think in a few years will be a new boss in this household
J= oh really who might that be
E= I think that might be miss Camryn
J= oh yeah it will be her Way or the highway
E= oh yeah I can't wait to see her bossing us around
J= me either just remembered she get the bossiness from you
E= whatever you say babe
J= Believe me everyone at work knows who the second boss is at work beside Hank
E= oh really that's good to know
J= oh yeah maybe she will be also bossing tu around too in a few years
E= oh yeah I can't wait to see that
J= same here all right let me take this little girl already
E= all right here you go daddy ( pass Camryn to jay and start to smell something) what is that I smell
J= that is our dinner I picked up I figured you would be hungry
E= oh yeah I'm starving so what did you get for dinner
J= well I got our favorite takeout
E= oh I have been tasting some sweet-and-sour chicken all day
J= I figured so that's why I got two of them just for you
E= Jay Alexander's you know me so well
J= of course I do let's eat

We dig in and start eating

E= oh I forgot to ask you how was your first day back to work
J= it was good and easy case for once
E= that's good to hear since we never get those kind of cases
J= I know right tell me about it
E= so who did hank partner you up with today since I wasn't there
J= actually he let me choose who I want to be my back up
E= wow I am actually surprised he let you choose. So let me guess you chose Antonio to be your partner
J= I guess my wife doesn't know me as well as I know her
E= wait so you didn't pick him
J= no I didn't
E= so who did you pick
J= well how about you take another guess to see if you know who I picked
E= all right let's see oh please tell me you didn't t pick at Adam
J= no way I might as well work by myself then work with Adam
E= that's good so that leaves three people I can choose from I don't think you would choose Alvin because he is boring to be around
J= oh yes he is but believe me that will never get back to him or else he will bury me with paperwork or something
E= I hundred percent agree on that okay my final guess is Kevin because even though Kim has came along way you don't want to work with another female officer besides me
J= Ding Ding you finally got it right I got to work with Kevin today
E= well I'm happy that you had Kevin as your back up today
J= I am too it was fun hanging out with Kevin all day
E= that's good did you make sure to always have your back up
J= yes I did I told him to he better or else you would kill him and he completely understood that
E= that is good to know to set some rules with him before work
J= oh yeah I also maybe up a rule to give to my partner for the day
E= oh you did what was it
J= that I was the only one that was allowed to drive today
E= no way you didn't
J= oh yes I did
E= but I am glad you made sure that you were safe at work
J= Oh yeah specially since I have to girls that mean the world to me
E= oh how sweet well we love you so much
J= I love you guys so much too

We finished our dinner and get into the routine with Camryn and get use to jay going to to work everyday
