''So, what are we going to do today?'' Erin said as she rolled over, she wanted to go to the district to finish the paper work that just heaping up at her desk and she kissed him on his cheek.

''You know, I want to do whatever you need to do. I guess you need to go to the district. I'd like to go there, but...''

''But the stairs.''

''Yeah.'' Jay sighed. The last time he had been there when he was hardly able to walk, it had been enough that he could get up the stairs, now he was completely paralyzed he knew it was impossible to get in the office.

''I am sure they can arrange something.'' Erin said but Jay didn't know, he didn't want to feel embarrassed.

''I am going to call Antonio and they are going to arrange something, I am sure.'' She said then and without even listening to his objection she walked out of their bedroom and Jay laid in bed, a little lost. Slowly he sat up, his back and neck killing him and slowly he pushed his legs out of bed so he sat on the edge. Slowly he moved himself to the wheelchair then, his neck and back hurting even more and he pulled his legs on the footrest again. It was exhausting and he hoped it would be over soon. Slowly he wheeled to the bathroom, where Lindsay was already dressing up for the day. Wheeling through the door frame his hand hit the doorpost and he cursed, grabbed his hand.

''The doors are too narrow.'' He said dryly and Erin looked worried, but he waved with his hand to sign his hand was fine. He moved to the bathtub and turned the wheelchair again, throwing his legs over the edge of the bath, slowly putting his arms on the edge and he lifted himself on the edge.

''Need any help?'' Erin asked as she turned around but he shook his head, he wanted to do it himself. She looked at his back, the bruising that was still there around his neck and she walked to him, held his sides as he slowly lowered himself in the bed.

''This bathroom...''

''Is not adjusted, I know.'' She said as she helped him sit down and an now she wondered if he had been right for insisting on going home instead of the hospital, where they took good care of him while they had to improvise everything.

''You know, there is something I want to talk about with you later. Let's have lunch at the café before going to the station.'' She said as she massaged his shoulder with the hot water that was slowly filling the tub and he nodded. After he was done bathing she helped him out again and helped him dried off and he hated it that she had to do this for him, but he kept quiet and tried not to feel bad about it. She helped him getting dressed in a casual pair of jeans that were not too thigh, a t-shirt and a vest and he sighed, exhausted from getting dressed already. It was a pain and he hoped he would get the feeling and movement in his legs back soon so something as simple as getting dressed wouldn't take so much energy.

He and Erin left to the coffee café they always had lunch and coffee and Jay was glad when he noticed the wheelchair ramp, strangely enough he had never had noticed it before, probably because he never had to pay attention to it. Erin pushed him inside and they took place, but this time only Erin on the comfy couch while Jay tried to get his knees under the table.

''You know, what I want to talk to you about...I think we should move, move to a house where you can easily get around for the time being. We could make it all ours and adjust as much as you need.''

Jay nodded as he really like that but he also thought about what he had been thinking about yesterday.

''But are you sure about moving in with me...this could be permanent.'' Jay said then and she looked confused and shook her head.

''Your are nerves are not badly damaged. You will walk again and even if it was permanent, I would never leave you because of that and you know that.'' She said, hurt that he even had those doubts about himself.

''Okay. Yeah I'd love to move in with you. It's all I want.'' He said as he kissed her and they paid, wanted to go to the district but Jay suddenly laid his hands on the wheels so Erin stopped pushing.

''Maybe we can go tomorrow, my back hurts...I am a little tired. Sorry. You should go if you want or not to. I can take a nap at home.''

''We will go tomorrow.'' She said with an understanding smile and she pushed the wheelchair back to the apartment. They went back inside and She helped him getting undressed again, or at least his jeans and he looked aside as she checked the catheter, closing her eyes and he hoped that she had been truthful in the café about being okay with whatever was on their path, because he felt really bad about it. She helped him getting the sweatpants on and he looked at her.

''I will ask if the PT guy can help me with how I should do these things myself. I don't want you to have to do this, I mean, I should be able to do it on my own.'' He said.

She kissed him on his forehead.

''Don't worry, it's okay, but I understand if you want to care for yourself again.''

She pulled the blanket over him and kissed him again. He fell asleep and was awoken by her again for dinner and as he wheeled to the table she grabbed a few papers and showed them to him;

''What do you think about this house? It's almost completely empty so we could get everything how you want and need it, even if it is just for a bit of time and it is very close to here. Third floor, with an elevator. Three bedroom, two bathroom.

Jay nodded and smiled. ''I really like it.''

''Jay, I have something else to tell you something.'' Erin said then as she sat down and he looked at her from over the table, putting the spoon back in the pasta and chicken before putting it on his plate and he looked at Erin.

''I...we are expecting a baby.'' She said then, slowly. She expected Jay to laugh, or smile or ask if that was really true, but instead he just looked shocked at her, not the slightest bit of happiness in his face and Erin's blood ran cold as she was afraid she had expected the completely wrong reaction.

''Oh...really?'' He said then, not in a happy way and Erin's lip started to shake.

''Yeah, really. We are expecting a baby!'' She said then, a little angry as he didn't show the least sign of happiness nor caring and Jay nodded.

''You are not happy at all, are you?'' She said, broken by his reaction.

''I...I don't...I don't think so.'' He said then.

To be continued in the sequel: 'Memories'


NOTE: Uh oh, Jay is not happy at all about the news, while Erin had imagined something completely else.
