Summary: Being peed on by his own daughter is not exactly how he planned when it was determined that he and Ruzek would be on babysitting duty one afternoon. What other troubles arise when two detectives are left with three kids and theirs a football game on?

Disclaimer: I own nothing, nada, zip. I'm a broke master's graduate looking for a job. Eventually I'll hopefully own something but the character's of CPD- yeah that will never happen.

Aim and Fire
3. Erin's Point Of View

"Mama!" Dominic stormed into the room ready for school. I've never seen a little kid so excited for school as he is, but I encourage it. He has to gain that knowledge somewhere that I know would not be from Jay. "It's time to get up! We going to the zoo today!"

I groaned forgetting that I had a moment of insanity and signed up to be a chaperone on this class trip while I drag along Maddie and Vanny through the zoo and three other pre-schoolers plus the help of Kim. Benji, Dom and their three closest companions in a class of fifteen and Maddie, Vanny and Calvin with Kim and I seems like a brilliant idea now- sarcasm if you can't understand that.

"That's today?" I moaned a complained as he jumped onto of me with excitement. "Maybe daddy will go instead."

I've been trying hard to convince him to go. He likes these field trip things. I'm not the whole class mom act that everyone thinks I can be.

"Yeah, I'm not going to a zoo with a bunch of little kids. Count me out." Jay made his opinion known to all and I kicked him right in the shin the hardest I could under the covers. "Damn it Erin, really?"

"Voight always said a girl has to protect herself." I smirked proudly knowing how well that kick can be used to work. "I could use your help today, Jay."

"Nope. There's a case going on and I told you not to signed up to become a stupid chaperon but you didn't listen to me."

"I was high on life, Jay. You can't blame me." I shrugged because that day I remembered I had a stomach virus going around the family which ended with Jay getting it and being the biggest baby out of all four.

"Mama come on, we need to wake up! Benji's coming!" Dominic cheered louder. The bond between Benji and Dominic was adorable and they both were so similar to their father's that it made everything hilarious. Ruzek and Halstead 2.0. Thank God Kim was coming with us, I'll need her help. If I had to chaperon, so did she.

"Good luck with mini Ruzek, babe. You'll need it." Jay laughed climbing out of the bed.

"I deserve a bottle of whiskey waiting for me on the counter when I get home!" I called after him.

"Good think I know you," he winked playfully, "cause whiskey makes your clothes fall off."

"Mama, striping is no good!" Dominic voiced something he has heard about multiple times. Let's be serious, being around a bunch of grown ass men who act like children when together this may happen. It's life.

"Bud, go watch some cartoons for a little." I shoved him quickly out of the room not wanting to deal with someone so excited at only seven in the morning. Don't blame me for not being a morning person. "Keep the volume low though, don't wake your brother up."

Brilliant idea by Jay to allow Evander, a two-year-old terror, to sleep on the couch for however long her wanted to because supposedly the car that has been on his brother's pillow from across the room scares him. The couch or our bed were the only option and let's face it, my bed is my area. No kids allowed over night in my kingdom of a bed.

"Jay please." I begged pouting slightly at him. If it worked on Voight, why wouldn't it work with Jay? "I'm gonna need help. Yeah Kim will help some but Maddie is basically done potty training and Van, well he's still a hot mess with it."

"You started him on that, you deal with it." Jay hopped in the shower washing off from the night and day before. "Erin it won't be that bad. Stroller for Van and Maddie. Dominic can walk."

I nodded knowing he won't see me responding. "That's not the point. Four other kids, just as hyperactive as Dominic will kill me."

"Then now you two both know not to sign up for field trips." Jay laughed. I quickly climbed out of bed and opened the shower curtain sticking my head in.

"Next time I'm gonna make sure you and Ruzek are going to be signed up for these field trips. Then you'll know how it will be." I playfully stomped off knowing in minutes he'll follow me- or well he use too. Now he just lets me throw these fits. "Whiskey Jay! Whiskey!"

"Mama, spiderman isn't on." Dominic became annoyed pouting on his cherubic face. That pout made me laugh. I've seen it on Jay multiple times.

"Well find something else to watch, Dom. Right now I'll make everyone breakfast instead of daddy cause he's in trouble." I continued to tease and could hear Jay laughing from the bedroom. How Evander didn't wake up is beyond me.

"Mama?" Maddie came slowly walking out of her bedroom with her hair all in her face and the stupid stuffed bear Voight gave her the day she was born.

"Come here, Baby Girl." I opened my arms for her and she took off running towards them. "How'd you sleep?"

"Loud." She sighed, digging her head into my shoulder. "Seepy, Mama."

"We're going to the zoo today, Baby. Doesn't that seem fun?" I tried to brighten her excitement when Jay walked in. It was my turn to get ready while the oatmeal began to cook. "She needs to pee and I need to shower. You're in charge for ten minutes."

Ten minutes to get showered and dressed made me a pro. I never thought it was physically possible but it is and I do it every morning or during nap time just so Jay thinks I did something productive that day.

Showering quickly and throwing on a blue shirt because we had to wear the same color as the students. It was one of Jay's that had CPD written on it. I didn't want to deal with ruining one of my own shirts.

"That's it, no more undies. Back to pull ups for you!" Jay yelled loudly followed by "Van, get back here!"

I know I should go help him, but I'd rather not. Let him suffer for refusing to join me on this annoying class trip.

"Mama!" A naked toddler ran straight for me practically knocking me over in the process. "I naked!" He giggled.

I loved that giggle. It lighten up every bad day. "Naked booty, where's your clothes?"

"I peed in dem'." He shrugged as if nothing was wrong with it. "Nemo wanted to swim!"

"Nemo wanted to swim, huh?" That was the first time I've ever heard that before.

"He needed water!"

"And to you, water is pee?" I nodded holding in my laughter. "Okay then, let daddy put clothes on you and then we'll get ready for the zoo, okay?"

"Cal?"

I nodded in response, "Yes baby Cal will be there. But you need clothes before you can join."

Please explain why I have to inform my kids that clothes are not an option during the day? If they want to go out in public they need clothes. Pull-ups and undies do not count as clothes.

He shrugged his shoulders jumping out of my arms and ran off into Jay's. "Undies Jay. No pull-ups. I'd rather break that habit while it was in the beginning phase of starting again. "He can pick out a pair."

Jay rolled his blue eyes and sighed. "He's your mess today." He laughed.

Some days I wanted to strangle that man!

-CPD-

Lesson one I learned so far: a bus with fifteen preschoolers, the two teachers, seven parental chaperons, and ten siblings is the worse idea imaginable. Maddie taught Evander that you can crawl under the seats- even seat belted- to see Dominic, Benji, Kim and Cal sitting behind us.

Lesson two so far, I do not remember any of these kids names. People are naming their kids the strangest things these days. Two boys in this one group where Ayden, Brayden and one girl Jayden. Umm, how am I not supposed to get those all confused. They all sounded the same.

Lesson three that I learned was that the school picked the hottest day this spring to head to the zoo. I hate the heat and I officially hate the zoo when it smells like shit.

"This is torture." Kim complained shifting Cal in her arms, "absolute torture."

"Trust me, I know." I sighed taking a seat on the bench right in front of the lions area.

"Who's who again?" Kim asked in a whisper tone as we walked into the eating area where we were going to meet the rest of the classmates for lunch.

I of course didn't pack anything and ended up spending fifty something dollars on two grilled cheeses and one chicken fingers and a salad for myself. Jay will get over it.

"Guys all sit down and we'll hand everyone their meals, okay?" I stated calmly plastering a smile on my face. I had to learn clues to learn whose who. "Jayden." I handed her her's first since she's the only girl and the only one with a princess pink lunch bag. "Brayden?" He stuck his little hand up in the air. Brayden had glasses- remember that Erin! That meant Ayden was the red head. Perfect.

"Make sure everyone washes their hands off first, please." Kim went around with hand sanitizer

With the kids munching on their food, Kim and I spoke about everything and anything under the sun.

"Next time I declare we are sending Jay and Ruzek to do this. I can't handle these other moms and" in a softer tone "these other kids." They weren't bad, it was just over powering to watch so many more kids than one is use too.

"Let's make it good." Kim decided to think long and hard. "How about we send them to Disney on Ice? You think if we accidentally buy tickets for the princess one they'd get upset?"

"That's too easy. There'd be beer there. We need something worse." I thought and we started throwing out random ideas.

"More babies." Kim laughed out. "That would give both of them heart attacks."

"Yeah, I'm not planning on anymore." I broke it to her. "How about a girls weekend? No boys, no kids, drinking on a beach far, far, far away from everyone for the weekend. Florida? Jamaica? Bahamas?"

"Come on pretty mama?"

"Enough of the Beach Boys moment. What do you think?"

"Mama?" Maddie came over so innocent. "Can we go play?"

I looked over at the play ground equipment in the locked in area of the eating space for schools and other events and then looked at her food. Half the grill cheese gone, fries all gone and one chicken tender she stole from Evander gone. "Let everyone else finish eating. When everyone is we will all go over there, okay?"

"We're all done, Mama!" Dominic yelled and they were off. All seven kids climbed off the bench seating and ran as fast as their legs could handle to meet their peers.

"Of course we'll clean up," Kim rolled her eyes. "You go watch, I'll clean up."

I nodded and slowly followed them staying away from the rest of the parental chaperons. I didn't have time in my life to deal with petty friendships and everyone bragging at how quickly their child accomplished a new task. I didn't care if their son or daughter is reading perfectly. It doesn't matter to me.

I sat my hot sweaty ass on the bench furthest away watching Calvin, Evander and Maddie like a hawk. Compared to these older kids, they were small and weaklings.

"Mama?" Dominic walked over with the smallest in the bunch of kids I'm supposedly watching, a girl Jayden. "Jayden doesn't feel good."

"Come sit for a little." I smiled softly offering my arms for a comfort hug. "Relax a little."

"My mama says we shouldn't eat fast but…" Before this little girl could finish her sentence everything that Jayden ate at lunch moments before ended up all over my shirt.

I had to catch myself before letting out a curse word. "Ugh."

Immediately a teacher and other chaperones made their way over to me. I lifted the big shirt up catching whatever chunks of I'm not sure what from falling all over me.

"I'm sorry." Jayden cried out and I felt bad. She was a little girl but I did not want to spend this trip covered in puke.

"Jayden, honey come on let's go get you cleaned up." One of the teacher's apologetically smiled at me as she guided the young student away from the group surrounding me. "We'll split up your group. You have Kim help you clean yourself up."

Now to get myself cleaned. I fucking hated myself for not wearing a tank top under this shirt today. I was so close to putting one on but didn't. This shirt was a goner. It was too late to save it and I'm not carrying around a soiled shirt for the rest of the day.

"Okay." I composed myself. "Kim can you keep an eye on Maddie and Van? I'm gonna go find a new shirt."

Being a freaking zoo, I get stuck choosing between two shirts. Both corny in their own sense but I deal, picking the most childish one so that I can give it to Maddie to use as a bed time shirt.

Supporting a brand new shirt that had a giraffe and a lion with the lion on stilts saying "I'm a genius".

I was ready to get this day over with.

-CPD-

"Daddy!" As soon as I opened the front door Dominic was off searching for Jay who I knew was home because of his car was parked in the driveway. He better have figured out dinner or something. I'm hungry, tired and want a strong glass of whiskey. "It was awesome! Mama got puked on!"

You got puked on?" Jay cracked up laughing. "Payback for laughing at me getting peed on all the time."

"Mama I want my lion!" Maddie yelled. While doing our pit stop at the gift shop- who in their right name put the exit of a zoo where hundreds of children visit a day- inside the gift shop?

I couldn't handle the screaming anymore. I was ready to burst. "In the bag, Maddie. Then in bed, all of you." I pointed to her and implied Evander also because he was fast asleep in my arms. Lucky kid.

Twenty minutes later after tears and sniffles Maddie managed to cry herself to sleep. I was not dealing with it. I had them all day, Jay could put them to bed.

After I quickly showering, cleaning off the stench that I felt was still on me, I walked into the kitchen grabbing the whiskey that Jay actually purchased for me and a glass before making it to the couch. A peaceful movie and tons of whiskey sounds like my kind of way to end the night and kick off the weekend.

"Starting without me?" Jay walked out in just pajama bottoms as I sipped down the whiskey allowing it to burn my throat on the way down.

I took my bottle from him, "Mine, not yours. You don't deserve this."

"Keep on drinking, Erin because we know whiskey makes your clothes come off."

"As if you're getting any. Not until your snipped. Snipped I tell you. No more kids. Got it? I'm not risking it. Baby factory is shut down for good. No sex, no nothing till your snipped. Fuck other kids."

"But Erin…" Jay complained pouting. "Please?"

"You're worse than Maddie you know?"

"But it works and you love me." He teased kissing me softly on the forehead before stealing my cup. "Get your own, Jay." I wanted my drink so I punched him in the balls.

"Fuckin' hell, Erin." Jay winced rolling in a ball on the ground.

"Now I know no more babies." I grabbed my cup and the bottle, swaying my hips back and forth seductively. He was gonna get snipped and I was gonna wait, legs cross and chastity belt on till that happens. I have a handy friend after all, battery operated boyfriend.

One month wouldn't be that long, right?
