Jay stopped at the door and knocked. He stood there watching wondering what he was doing. He backed up as Erin opened the door.

"Erin." Jay said

"Jay, what are you doing here?" Erin asked

"I need to tell you something." Jay paused and smiled. "I love you Erin."

Erin's eyes widened, and she looked into his eyes. "I'm pregnant." Erin said holding up the pregnancy test.

"You are? What?!" Jay said scared and frightened by what she said.

"I'm having a baby..."

"So I'm gonna be a dad?" Jay asked

"I guess. I mean it's your kid." Erin spat. Jay walked into the apartment and pulled her into the a warm tight hug.

"It's gonna be okay. Don't doubt yourself Erin." Erin buried her head in his chest.

"I'm scared." Erin hated feeling or telling anyone how she felt. She didn't like feeling vulnerable. It wasn't her favorite thing. She held him tight.

"It's gonna be okay." Jay reassured her

"You sure? Because last time the baby died." Erin said. Jay let go of his girlfriend and held her head up.

"Erin? You were pregnant before?" Erin sat down on her couch and hugged him.

"It's okay. You don't have to tell me. Just don't."

"No Jay. It's fine. I need to tell you. I was 16 and it had been a year since I lived at hank's and I was sleeping when I felt this bad pain. It was the worst thing I've ever felt. I went to the hospital and they did surgery and I was having a baby boy. I named him Lane Caleb. That's why I wear this necklace. It's his foot prints. No one ever asks me what it is. Hank Camille. No one has."
Jay pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm sorry. I wish I could have been there, with you."

"But we are here. I guess we are gonna be parents." Erin said hugging tight to him. She buried her head in his chest, he held her tightly they sat there for a few moments she felt safe for the first time in a while. She didn't want to move or do anything. Instead she sat there holding tight to him.

Jay let go of one hand and put his hand on her stomach not pressing hard but just putting it lightly. "Daddy's here baby. I'm gonna keep you and your mommy safe."

"Jay what if I lose the baby?" Erin burst into tears Jay held her tighter

"Hey it's all gonna be okay. I promise. Nothing is going to happen. I need you to stay strong. Please Erin.. You have everything to live for. I can't let you take this for Hank."

"I'm no Please don't leave me."

The next morning Jay heard the sounds of flushes as he got out of bed. He rushed to the bathroom and pulled his girlfriend's hair back as she threw up in the toilet.

"It's gonna be okay." Jay said stroking her hair.

"You did this to me. You are gonna shut up until I have this kid." Jay stepped back and smiled then kissed her cheek.

"I love you." That was the first time Erin thought, that was the first time those words came out of his mouth, he implied it a million times but it never came out. Erin shook her head and smiled, he held her in his arms tight like a safe warm hug where no one could hurt his girl. His Erin.

"I love you too." Erin said hugging tight to him

"Jay, I know it's early but I think we should name the baby if we have a boy Jay Justin.. I think I should in someone honor Justin and if it's a girl I think we should name her Avery Camille."

"I think those are wonderful names baby and I don't think it's too early. Besides what are you? Like 10 weeks?"

"Yeah.." Erin lifted up her shirt and revealed a tiny bump.

Jay bent down and held her stomach in his big hands. He smiled and kissed it. "I love you little Halstead. I don't know what you are yet but I just know you might be a girl. I don't know if I would be ready for a girl but I won't care because you'll have your mommy's genes and she's stronger than daddy and she knows how to kick some serious ass." Jay smiled and stood up Erin smiled.

"Jay how are you so sure it's a girl?"

"I don't know, but I hope it's a girl with your eyes and your attitude and I just hope you are happy with whatever we have. I don't really care, I just want you to be happy."

"I don't really care Jay. I just want it to be happy."

"Can you go get me food?" Jay laughed

"Now you're hungry. Jeez. What does my favorite girl want?"

"Ice Cream with strawberries." Jay nodded his head and walked out the door grabbing his keys and walking out the door.

Jay grabbed the ice cream and got the fruit then drove back home. Erin was sitting on the couch crying

"Erin, what's wrong?" Jay asked

"I was thinking about what happened."

"It's gonna be okay Erin." Erin cuddled into his arms he held her tightly.

"How are you so sure? Jay Olive lost Justin I lost Nadia I can't lose you or this baby." Jay shook his head.

"You aren't going to lose me. I promise I'm never going anywhere."

"Jay, can we go see Hank?" Jay nodded his head and waited for Erin to put on a decent outfit. He laughed as she was trying to put her jeans on.

"What?" Erin said laughing

"Nothing I just think your bump is the cutest thing." Jay smiled grabbing the keys and walking out of her apartment.

"Jay, you are not driving." Erin spat

"But you don't have the keys." Jay held them up over her head she smiled then got into the car and buckled. Jay started driving to his house when a car came from the side and hit them. Jay's dog tags flew and fell on the ground. Erin had fell unconscious

"ERIN!" Jay shouted

"Jay what happened?" Hank asked

"I I don't know. we were driving to your house and we got hit. The car hit her side. Please don't let her go. S she's pregnant." Jay confessed

"She's what?" Hank yelled pinning him against a wall.

"We are having baby. We were coming over to tell you. She is so excited Hank. I just don't kill me. I love her more than anything. I need her to wake up."

"I'm not. You take care of her."

Jay shook his head scared as the what happened with his girlfriend and unborn baby. Jay sat down next to Kevin and started shaking. He loved her and cared for her more than anything. Everyone knew it, Jay needed her to survive and wake up. Everyone did. Hank had just lost his son and now he might lose the last person he has.

"Nat, any news on Erin?" Jay asked

"Yeah. The baby is going to survive and live Erin is in a coma.." Jay's eyes widened

"Is she going to be okay? I mean is it safe for her to be in a coma with the baby?"

"Jay I promise that baby or Erin isn't going anywhere. Not for a long long time. You stay here don't leave that'll show everyone you'll never leave Jay. I know you love her just show them that." Nat pointed to all of his family. "I know what it's like to lose the one you love but your brother helped me out of the darkness I know that's what you did for Erin."

"I'm never leaving."

"She's going into the room." Jay turned around and watched as the love of his life was being wheeled into the room, Jay walked in and grabbed her hand. He squeezed it tightly.

"Erin, please wake up. For me. So I can meet our baby. I just want you to know I love you more than anything and I'm sorry. I'm sorry for not being there for you when you needed me. I pushed you away but it's over. I love you and I want you to always be there for me."

"I'm sorry Halstead, I know how much she means to you. I guess I'm not ready to let her go yet." Hank said coming in the door holding up a bag in his hand. Jay turned around surprised at who it was.

"Hank." Jay said getting up and giving him a hug.

"I want you and Erin to have this." Hank pulled out the wedding ring box and put it in Jay's hand.

"Marry her. I know she's never gonna admit she loves you for a while but I know she does. Jay take good care of her. She's all I have left and I can't lose her." Jay nodded his head.

"Always."

"Oh and take good care of your girls." Jay looked confused as Hank just said that.

"What do you mean?" Hank smiled.

"You also might need this." Hank handed him a pink elephant stuffed animal

Jay smiled big. "It's a girl?" Nat raised her eyebrow and smiled

"I know you probably didn't want to know but Hank did, and I know he's excited. I hope you are.."

"Oh I am.. I guess I wanted the baby to be a girl. I don't know why I just want to see Erin hold her and I want to be kept on my toes I guess."

"Oh you will be Jay." Will said

"That's the exciting part. I guess I can't wait to watch her read books to our little girl and dress her up in dresses and I just want her to wake up soon."

"Jay you are one lucky guy." Will said

"I guess I am. I finally deserve someone. My whole life I've been chasing behind you and now I'm finally worthy of someone like her."

"You've always been worthy of someone like her. You were just too stubborn to figure it out little brother, besides you could have married Allie." Jay nodded his head at the mention of his ex girlfriend, Jay smiled he didn't want to marry her but he's glad he didn't. If he hadn't said yes to the job in Intelligence he wouldn't have met Erin and he wouldn't be as happy.

Jay sat there next to his girlfriend holding her hand tightly watching as she laid there peacefully. "Avery Camille Halstead. Has a nice ring to it?" Jay said

Jay placed his hand on her stomach and smiled. "Avery Camille, I'm your daddy. I promise I'll never leave I promise to always protect you whenever you need it. I will always love you even if you make it hard for me to. You are my little girl. Also your mom is very strong, she can withstand anything. I promise you'll always be loved."

Jay sat back down and watched as Antonio came in the room he sat down on the couch on the other side of the room, hearing the monitor beep loudly.

"She's pregnant?" Antonio said. Jay smiled and nodded his head

"Yeah. I'm excited." Antonio shook his head laughing.

"Her name is Avery Camille.. Erin uh picked it out. She wanted to honor Camille in a way but she said it was too heartbreaking naming her Camille. The name means wise, I guess it fits her because all of her family are wise men. I guess." Jay added

"That is true. You are lucky to have Erin. I'm glad you are happy Jay. I really am. Erin is real lucky to have you. Never thought I'd ever see her smile the way she does when she's with you. She never used to be happy she was always sad. I tried helping her find a guy but no one worked. She would just push them away. You are the only one she kept and didn't push away. She loves you and I know she's excited about the baby. I think we all need some happiness in our lives."
