A/N: Hello everyone, I hope everyone is doing alright. Again portraying Dahlia “Lia” Halstead is Abigail Cowen. A request from @hngbrooks.
Don’t be afraid to leave your comment!
Part I
——————
Midnight silence invaded the Halstead house, where you were sleeping peacefully, until you weren’t. Muffled screams could be heard in the distance as you woke up from your sleep.
On instinct you reached a hand to shake Jay awake but you were met with the emptiness of his side. This made you wake up completely, being able to hear the screams that echoed the house and jumping out of bed you rushed out of your room directly to your daughters.
It had been two weeks since your daughters kidnapping, everyday you were all reminded of the pieces left behind. You knew what was happening, Doctor Charles had said it would, and it pained you that nothing could be done.
Scared as you reached her room, your eyes widen at the sight. Terrified cries and screams reached your ears as you saw Lia stepping back towards the corner of the wall holding her night lamp up as if to defend herself from something or someone. That’s when you saw Jay with his hands raised in a calming manner, showing Lia that he meant no harm and at the same time trying to approach the terrified teenager.
“Sweetheart, can you put that down” Jay asked his voice full of concern
“GET AWAY!” Lia screamed and cried as her grip tightened around the lamp
“Baby. Lia. Listen to my voice, it’s dad” Jay exclaimed over the sound of her cries, arms still up as she shook her head
“Lia
” you softly spoke taking a cautious step in her direction and stopping as she raised the lamp again,
“Don’t come any closer!” she exclaimed, a tears ran down her cheeks, they seemed to not end.
“Dahlia it’s mom, put the lamp down honey, please” you tried to bargain as you raised your hands following your husbands movement. Nothing seemed to work, nothing got through to her.
“NO! I said get away!” she continued to say as she swung the lamp making space around herself and accidentally scratching Jay’s arm making you gasp.
“Jay
” you whispered, your voice breaking as he slowly approached your side leaning down to say something
“I need you to distract her, alright. I have to take that lamp out of her hands, she’s gonna hurt herself” Jay told you as his gaze stayed on Lia’s movements, the only thing he was worried about was his daughters safety. With a nod you moved slightly to the side, gaining her attention.
“Hi, sunshine. It’s momma. It’s okay, you’re alright. Do you know where you are?” you asked as softly as you could trying to keep her gaze on you as Jay tried to get closer.
“Get the hell away from me!” she screamed at you with so much emotion it almost made you flinch. She pointed the night lamp at you, terrified.
“Alright, alright. I won’t get any closer. Do you know where you are?”
“You tide me to a chair, my- my hands hurt
it’s so cold
IT’S YOUR FAULT! I wanna go home. P-please I wanna go home” Lia cried shaking her head and tightly closing her eyes.
Because unknown to you she was having an internal battle where she wished she could open her eyes and everything would go back to how it was before. Safe, protected, naive. But that would never happen, she would never be the girl she was before the kidnapping. The only way was forward and it would be hell of a way.
You made eye contact with your husband, nodding in his direction. That’s all it took for Jay to rush to his daughters side taking the lamp in one swing and trapping her arms to her chest as he hugged her tightly.
“NO! NO! Please, please I didn’t do anything, let me go. Please I want my dad” Lia cried struggling, her back falling on her father’s chest, both sliding down the wall and to the floor as you reached them.
“Baby. Listen, listen to my voice. You are home, you’re back home. Dad’s right here
 I’m right here, I promise” Jay softly said as he tightened his grip on Lia, continuing to whisper in her ear as you caressed her head.
“Please
don’t hurt me
” Lia whispered as silent tears left her eyes no longer struggling against Jay, too tired to even try.
“You’re okay. You’re safe” you whispered, confused when you noticed Lia’s gaze
“Jay. I think somethings wrong” eyes wide as your head snapped to look at your husband, making him furrow his eyebrows and move slightly to get a look at Lia’s face.
“Shit, I knew it” he whispered taking a deep breath, realization on his face
“What?” you hurriedly asked
“She’s still asleep
” he calmly said putting his cheek on her head and sighing
“Ho- how? What’s going on?” you stuttered as you tried to understand. You didn’t know if you were still asleep, nothing was making sense.
“PTSD episode. She’s in a daze” Jay said, giving you a pained look as Lia’s now emotionless gaze stayed on the floor.
You looked back to your daughter as her eyes glazed over, she had been having flashbacks all along. You thought it was a nightmare from what could be the most terrifying hours of her life, but she was reliving everything from that night. So you got closer to your husband and daughter as if shielding her from everything around.
“What now?” your eyebrows furrowed sniffing, as you continued to caress her head
“We wait
we can just wait until she wakes up. She’s gonna be confused, we just have to be patient” he said closing his eyes as he slumped against the wall now just hugging Lia’s limp body.
“It’s
 it’s just like you after the rangers. And I still hate every second of it. I fucking hate it” you whispered as you cried, voice breaking while you rested your head on his shoulder.
“Me too
I hate it too” he whispered back pecking your forehead.
You understood this was not only affecting Lia, it was also bringing back horrible memories and parts of Jay’s life that neither of you wanted to relive. Jay felt even worse knowing that it was his daughter who was now going though it, the only thing that he could do was hold her.
“Mom
” she whined, as confusion took over her face and then panic.
“It’s alright, Lia. We’re right here” you whispered sweetly brushing her tears away as Jay kept pecking her head caressing her arms. But something changed in her expression.
“Where is he? Where did he go? Dad. He’s inside the house” Lia said widening her eyes, sitting up and desperately looking around her room. At this you sniffed and closed your eyes.
“Lia there’s no one here, baby. Just us” Jay lowly said running his hands over her arms in what he hoped was a calming way as she looked back to her father in confusion
“But. I-” she sighed, before realizing that she had been having flashbacks
“No
I- I’m going crazy, I swear it was real. He was here
” she whispered as she slightly pushed the palms of her hands to her head hitting the sides repeatedly
“Hey, hey, hey. No Lia, don’t do that baby” you said reaching for both her hands and kissing the back of them
“Dad
” she sobbed as she struggled to breath panting for air
“Shh, in for four out for two, breath” Jay repeated as he pulled her back protectively and rocked her side to side, looking at you as tears brimmed his green eyes.
“Please make it stop, please. I want it to stop” Lia said between cries as she slumped her head on Jay’s shoulder while he tucked her closer -if it was even possible-.
“I wish I could. You don’t know how much we wish we could” Jay said, voice breaking and tears left both of your eyes as you hugged one another.
“Why me
” she whispered as you all cried together, making your heart shatter.
You three spend almost two hours on Lia’s bedroom floor, in between calming her and making sure she knew that this was real and she had woken up. Moving to the living room where you all cuddled on the couch, Lia’s head rested on her fathers lap as her legs were on yours. She looked up to the roof and sighed,
“Do you think I’m going crazy” she said as she bit her lip in a nervous manner. Her voice made both you and Jay look at her
“No, of course not, honey” you answered before Jay could, as she nodded
“I think I am
” Jay brushed her hair, before asking
“Why, honey?” worried as he watch a tear leave one of her eyes
“I still feel the tape on my wrists, how the tip of the gun felt in my head and I swear that sometimes I hear their voices” she answered voice breaking, while Jay continued to brush her hair and you squeezed her leg.
“Do you think we should take Doctor Charles offer?” Jay asked, sad eyes as he looked at his daughter
“Will it make it quiet?” Lia asked desperation in her voice as her green broken eyes connected with her fathers
“Quiet?” you whispered,
“There’s too much noise up here. I just want it to be quiet” she said pointing to her head and looking at both of you
“I can’t promise you that, baby” Jay said as he pursed his lips together shaking his head
“But it helped you
talking to someone” she continued sitting up in between both of you, looking at Jay for an answer. You took her hand squeezing it and giving Jay a sad but loving smile.
“Yeah
it did, baby. It did” Jay answered nodding, giving her an encouraging smile and taking her hand as she nodded back.
“No
 did I do that?” she asked quietly as she looked at Jay’s scratch arm.
“It’s okay-” Jay tried before being cut off
“I’m so sorry, dad! I didn’t mean to” she said cradling her free hand on her chest not taking her eyes off the injury as Jay shook his head
“I know sweetheart,”
“Dad-” she looked guiltily
“Hey! You have nothing to be sorry for, alright. It’s just a scratch, nothing more” Jay said sternly as he reached for her cradled hand and kissing its back. She nodded resting her head on your shoulder while you wrapped your arms around her, falling asleep and leaving both of you battling internally.
“I feel like a failure” Jay said lowly, to not wake your daughter.
“Babe
” you started shaking your head and reaching for his hand
“I do” as he looked ahead jaw clenching in frustration
“Then I feel like shit. I shouldn’t have let her stay there” you said as guilt took over you unconsciously tightening the hug on your sleeping daughter.
“Babe. Don’t put this on yourself, I agreed too” Jay said looking directly at you, both of you sharing the feeling
“And now the stupid trial, the comments, the fucking interviews.” you rambled listing all of the consequences of the kidnapping bitting your lip.
“Agreed” he sighed
“It’s too much, Jay
”
“Hey honey. What’s on your head?” he asked tilting his head waiting for your answer -but he knew where you were getting at-.
“I think we should leave Chicago, for good” you hurriedly said
“Alright, where?” he said reaching for his phone, probably to make some calls. That’s what you loved about your husband, the fact that he would drop anything for his family.
“God- I don’t know, I wish there was an answer to everything” you whispered pecking Lia’s head and looking at Jay, as he raised his head from his phone to look at you.
“I think I have an idea” putting his phone away and leaning an arm on the back of the couch squeezing your shoulder.
“I’m all ears, so shoot” you sighed, as he squinted his eyes thinking
“Alright, how about we take her to Doctor Charles in the morning. Maybe he can approach the idea of moving from Chicago, that way we can see where Lia’s mind is at” Jay said shrugging his shoulders as you nodded for him to keep going.
“Then we make the decision. I think we should, you know we start fresh somewhere else. No memories, no familiarity to Chicago, just a blank space” he finished biting his lip as he massaged his forehead
“A blank space, alright, but we take her to Doctor Charles first” you nodded,
“First thing when she wakes up” Jay answered as hope expressed in both of your eyes

Jay Halstead Materlist
A/N: Hello guys. So I’m not entirely in love with this, I’m sorry if it’s not that good and I'm sorry for being a little disconnected. As Olivia "Liv" Halstead is Maggie Elizabeth Jones. Hope everyone likes this original idea.
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
----------
Being a kindergarten teacher had its perks. For once you worked with the young, creative minds and had the chance to potentially make a positive impact on them. But other times it really sucked, for example like a couple of hours ago.
You were in your classroom having lunch by yourself as usual. When one of your students Olivia came to you with a troubled expression. Obviously you thought the worst about it, call it instinct.
“Hi, miss Y/N” her sweet voice said as she took a seat in front of your desk. You smiled at her being met with a small one in return.
“Hello sunshine. Are you okay?” you asked immediately putting your lunch on pause and giving your full attention to her.
“I’m sad” she said casting her eyes down, this made you furrow your eyebrows
“Can I help you? We can talk about why you’re sad” you asked warily but gently giving her a sympathetic smile while you searched for her eyes
“I don’t want to make you upset miss Y/N” she said as she fiddled with her little hands.
Why would you be upset? But then again, Liv was probably the most selfless child you have ever met and obviously she would say something like this. Even in her short years of age she always thought of others first, she was a really empathic kid.
“Little miss Olivia. It’s alright to talk about feelings, they are valid, and you would never make me upset” you said in a serious manner as you nodded encouragingly
“Even if it’s sadness, Miss Y/N?” “Even if it’s sadness” you confirmed nodding
“I don’t have a mom for mother daughter day party” she said looking at you with big green doe eyes as if you held the answer to every question. But before you could say something, she continued.
“My daddy said my mom went to a place called heaven and that she watches over me” she said sighing as she crossed her arms over your desk placing her chin on top. At her words you sighed too
“My mom went to heaven too, when I was your age” you said lips tight as you tried to keep your emotions at bay
“Why?” she curiously asked, making you avert your gaze before looking back at her and mustering a smile
“That’s how life works. Sometimes heaven needs more people to help watch over us” you said taking a deep breath
But how could you explain the concept of death to a little girl. You were sure that her dad had done the absolute best at it. Although you had only briefly talked a couple of times between drop out and pick up, and at teacher parent conference day. Nevertheless never touching the topic about Olivia’s mother. Jay Halstead seemed like a really great father to this little girl and quite frankly you didn’t want to overstep. You were broken out of your thought as you heard a little sob,
“But I don’t want her there” Olivia said as her little voice broke slightly along with your soul.
“Oh Liv. I’m sorry. I promise you, it will be better, one day you’ll understand” you said as you reached her side. Kneeling to her height and caressing her head as you hugged her
That conversation going on in circles in your head as you waited patiently biting good mornings to each of your students and their mothers at the drop line. While there was another conversation taking place in a car, as the passenger was getting ready for the drop off at school.
“Liv I’m so sorry I can’t come to your get together” Jay said guiltily as he sighed looking at his daughter through the review mirror. He was heartbroken knowing he had hurt and possibly disappointed the only important person in his life.
“You promised you would come” Olivia sadly said as she blinked rapidly in order to not let the tears fall as she avoided her father’s gaze
“I know. I know baby. But I have to go chase bad guys remember” Jay said turning to look at her once he parked in the drop line. A pained expression took place on his face when he saw her little tears.
“Hey-” he started as he was about to reach for her hand, stopping
“I know
” she whispered disappointed brushing her tears away before Jay could see her, but of course he already had
Before Jay could muster a response the back door was opened, and Jay met your eyes. Big smile on your face as Olivia climbed out of the truck, hand in yours for support.
“Hello little miss Liv” you said enthusiastically but as a response Olivia mustered an unenthusiastic ‘hello’. You glanced at Jay again smiling sadly before Liv waved goodbye to her father still not meeting his eyes.
“Hi I’m sorry. She’s in a bit of a mood. I broke a promise” Jay said as sad eyes followed his daughters retrieving figure.
“No worries. I understand. I’ll look after her, she’ll have a good time, I promise” you said smiling,
“Thanks for that. Have a good day” Jay shared a smile as he shook his head before biting goodbyes
You both had a thing for each other, but neither had made a move upon it. You had always stayed professional for the sake of Olivia and so has he. There were always lingering looks at parent-teacher conferences, but they were ones of admiration. Add obviously the fact that you are his daughters teacher, so being in a relationship would stir up a lot of drama between the other parents including your superiors.
When you entered your classroom all of the mom’s were sitting with their kids already doing the activities and eating the snacks you had brought for the occasion. With the exception of Olivia, who was sitting at a little table all by herself and this stirred something inside you.
In the district Jay was struggling to concentrate and the guilt was eating him alive. The look and the tears that he saw on Olivia’s face hunting him relentlessly.
“Hey, didn’t you have little nugget’s mom-daughter thing today?” Kevin asked as he walked into the breakroom
“Don’t remind me. She’s gonna hate me” Jay said as he stirred his coffee
“Man. Don’t tell me you’re missing it” Kevin asked leaning besides Jay, being met with a hum in confirmation
“There will be more in the future, I just-” Jay was interrupted by the other detective
“Hell na, man. You go do what you gotta do” Kevin started looking at his friend like if he had grown two heads
“Kev-”
“Don’t let her down, bro. I’ll cover for you. Go” at this Jay looked at his friend trying to get his thoughts in place.
Kevin took a deep breath before taking ahold of Jay, dragging him into the bullpen and practically throwing Jay’s stuff in his arms before rushing him out to his truck.
“You go be a dad. I got your back” Kevin told Jay as the latter turned his truck on.
“Thanks, man, I’ll owe you big time” “Don’t worry about it, a beer at Molly’s can work for me”
Guiltily he thought of the brief conversation he had with Olivia and the mistake he would be committing if he didn’t make it. As he parked in the school he knew he wasn’t about to let his daughter be by herself, he wasn’t going to let her down.
Entering the classroom he looked over the heads and tables trying to identify his daughter. There she was on a table gluing something, but before he could move he saw you sitting beside her. Now noticing Liv’s laugh mixed with your own.
“So Liv, what’s your favorite color?” you asked as you colored the paper you had prepared for everyone, but Olivia didn’t respond. As you heard a gasp leave her mouth your head snapped up to her face following her eyesight to the door.
“He came, miss Y/N” Hazel excitedly said before leaping to her feet and running into her father’s awaiting arms, the latter picking her up kissing her cheek
“Hey baby!” Jay said with a smile on his face, as he saw how Olivia beamed happily
“Daddy you came” “Of course, I made a promise remember” he said matching her excitement.
At the same time he walked to the table Olivia was occupying as you stood up looking at them with a shy smile. When they reached the table Liv sat down explaining to her dad what she was doing, to which he nodded smiling with excitement. You took that as your signal to go back to your desk,
“Hey, uh, Miss Y/N” Jay said as he walked over to where you had stopped and turned to him
“Just Y/N it’s fine” you waved him off with a kind smile
“
Y/N-”
“I’m sorry for intruding-” “It’s-”
“She told about her mom; thought I could help” you rambled with a remorse expression waiting as you felt a hand being placed on your shoulder
“Take a deep breath” Jay said as he chuckled, to which you scratched the back of your neck nervously
“Thank you, you didn’t have to- but you did, and I really appreciate it” he said smiling sadly as you both looked back towards Olivia, before you shook your head again
“She’s a great girl, really smart” you said smiling slightly as you returned Olivia’s wave
“Yeah she is. That’s all her” he answered turning back to look at you
“I deeply apologize, the school should really mind what they write. If it was up to me it should be parent-child day” you said as you tilted your head, before Jay could answer another voice interrupted
“Dad. Can miss Y/N sit with us? She was going to braid my hair next” Liv said excitedly as she looked up to Jay
“Sure. If she’s not too busy, remember she has adult responsibilities” he answered looking down at Liv’s big eyes
“She’s not! She can teach you how to braid my hair, dad” Olivia answered. You bit your lips trying to fight the laugh that was trying to surface when you watched Jay’s mouth hanging
“Damn, why do you have to wound me like that, pumpkin” Jay said looking at you to see if you had heard. Shaking his head as you placed a hand over your mouth chuckling.

Characters: Jay Halstead x OC Sofia / OC Hope
Warnings: cute fluff
Word count: 1403
Jay Halstead Materlist
A/N: Hello my beautifully people. Here is a request from the beautiful @andreahalstead24
Don’t be afraid to leave your comment!
—————-
For Sofia, Hope was not only one of the feelings Christmas brought her, but it was also the name of her boyfriend’s 2-year-old daughter. As Jay had said many times before his daughter had brought him hope, love and compassion when he thought life couldn’t get worse. Sofia felt the same way about the little girl.
Hope’s mother had left when Hope was mere months old leaving the young new father and newborn baby alone, without any guidance whatsoever. Sofia had shared with Jay a helping hand at raising the young girl. Sofia had been Hope’s nurse and old friend of the Jay’s. Hence how Sofia had watched the little girl grow.
Winter was here and with it came the festivities. Sofia had helped Jay decorate the house inside and out. From Christmas lights on the railing of the stairs to fresh baked cookies in the kitchen isle and a big tree in the living room. Outside were lights, inflatable, and a little snowman the three of them had built in the morning. Hope was the happiest kid on earth, she also shared the passion for Christmas with Sofia.
By the end of the night Hope was already in bed while Sofia started to place the gifts underneath the three. There were so many but how could she not get a gift for every important person in her life and in Jay’s. After all the little family had a village in their corner, it was just fitting to get them something as a token of appreciation.
She was so engrossed in her mission that she didn’t hear or see Jay lean in the living room frame admiring his beautiful girlfriend with a smile on his face. Saying he was grateful was an understatement, forever in dept is more like it. She had stayed in his life since so long ago that it almost felt like a whole lifetime had passed by.
They had been friends and gone through high school, rangers, only 2 years ago realizing their feelings and raising Hope together. For him, Hope and Sofia were everything he needed, everything he ever wanted. Pushing himself off the door frame, he picked a gift from the pile in one hand, wrapping the other around her waist and chuckling lightly when she jumped in surprise.
“Jesus. Almost gave a heart attack” Sofia said placing a hand over her heart as Jay chuckled
“I’m sorry. Santa looks beautiful this year” he teasingly said as he wrapped her in a loving hug pecking her cheeks a couple of times as she laughed
“The elf looks handsome too” she joked back making Jay furrow his eyebrows
“Who are you calling an elf?- babe, don’t ignore me” Jay continued to try and get his girlfriend’s attention and eyes back from the pile of gifts
“Do you think this are enough?” she asked biting her lip as she looked at the gifts underneath the tree
“Sure
 but out of curiosity for whom?” Jay asked squinting his eyes slightly at her nervous expression
“Hope” she said as if it was nothing.
Missing Jay’s wide eyes as he choked on air, the gift that he had in hand dropped onto the floor as the surprise of her comment settled in. Stepping back from the embrace they were sharing to completely look at her.
“There is no way all this are for her-” Jay shook his head massaging his forehead as he stared at the gifts in horror
“Why?” “Babe- you can’t just buy her ten gifts and ask me if they’re enough. This are enough to give to the whole city” he hissed in low voice looking straight at her eyes as if she had grown two heads
“Firstly, why not?” she asked raising a finger as if she was offended, also hissing silently to not wake Hope up.
“She’s 2-years-old” he said in a matter-of-fact way
“And? There’s actually fifteen
” she answered whispering the last part. Jay’s mouth dropped as looked back underneath the three -more than those?-.
“Fift-” “You seriously can expect me to not buy her the stuff she likes Jay. She gave me puppy eyes” she hurriedly said
“How- how much did you spend?” Jay asked as he scratch the back of his neck
“You don’t want to know” Sofia said shaking her head pursing her lips
“Oh. For gods sakes” he said as he walked towards the couch slumping down on it.
Sofia guiltily followed him to the couch sitting side by side, biting her lip as they both looked at all the presents under the tree. Maybe she did over buy, a lot. They both sighed as Jay reached for the plate of cookies on the coffee table taking a much-needed anxiety filled bite.
“Are they good?” Sofia asked expectingly looking at Jay, as he hummed satisfied
“This are really good” he praised looking at the piece of cookie on his hand before looking at Sofia shaking his head at her guilty expression
“You spoil her to much, Soph” Jay said looking in her eyes, to which she winced
“Can you help me with the rest?” she whispered
“There’s only three cookies. Pretty sure I can make space for them” Jay said chuckling as he looked at his girlfriend’s shy smile before it morphed into guilt.
“Not about the cookies
the gifts” she whispered wincing as she waited for his reaction
“Soph- Babe
” Jay whined as he lightly hit his head with the back of the couch a couple of times.
“Please” she giggled as she pecked his lips, Jay smiling slightly into it.
“Let’s get it over with then” he sighed standing dragging her with him towards the garage. When he opened the locked door his mouth fell, eyes wide. Taking a deep breath he turned his body to looked at Sofia raising an eyebrow.
“I’m sorry
” she said in the same tone he had used before
“You’re lucky you’re cute” he said crossing his arms
“You know me. You know how I get on Christmas; don’t know why you act so surprised” she said between laughs as he shook his head amusement clear on his face.
“You’re gonna be the death of me Sophia” Jay said pecking her cheeks lovingly, before entering Santa’s improvised workshop
“Sorry!” she winced as a box fell from the pile and onto Jay’s head, who proceeded to curse under his breath
Hours later rays of sunshine shone through the curtains; silence invaded the small house in Chicago. As Jay slept with ease, the silence and coldness in the air helped him settle. That wasn’t gonna last much.
“Babe- babe wake up” Sofia said standing beside the bed pocking his exposed cheek
“Honey. It’s 6 in the morning. Come back to bed. Give it a couple of hours” Jay said groaning. Hand grabbing her sweater, dragging her back to bed as he switched his head to avoid the pocking.
“But it’s Christmas” Sofia said making a sad voice
“No. Don’t. Do that”  Jay said warningly, voice hoarse and sleepy
“But Jay” “Hope isn’t even awake” as he huffed
“DADDY. SANTA CAME!” Hope came barreling into the room screaming at her father’s sleeping form
“Scratch that, she was probably snooping downstairs” Jay said getting up, laughing as he saw Hope clinging to Sofia’s hand both jumping up and down in excitement.
“I live with two children” “Oh hush! C’mon” Sofia said reaching for his hand and pulling him downstairs. As they all entered the living room filled with presents Hope yelped in happiness, resulting in both adults laughing.
“Momma. Look” Hope screamed as she picked up the empty cookie plate. Both adults looked at each other with surprised expressions on their faces.
“Did she-” “Yes she did” as both gazed wide eyed towards little Hope diving into the piles of presents
“Jay-” as Sofia went to argue it. She would never replace Hope’s mother, that was never her intention, and it would never be. He shook his head interrupting her
“Just enjoy it” Jay said beaming as he threw his arm around her shoulders bringing her closer to him in order to kiss her. When they pulled away, both smiled before gazing at Hope’s little figure trying to read the tags on the gifts.
“Alright, munchkin. Which one first?” Jay exclaimed walking towards the tree as Sofia sat on the couch facing both of them. It was a great day.

A/N: Hello guys! I hope everyone is doing okay. Here is an original imagine. Portraying Thomas "Tommy" is Jacob Tremblay and portraying Gianna "Gia" Halstead is Maia Mitchell. Sending love 💖
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
-------
Your boyfriends birthday wasn’t something he made a big deal about. From a certain point in time to the present days it bargained him with the memories of all the people that couldn’t be there with him, the people that had to leave too early. But nonetheless you always tried to bring him joy on the occasion, since you had started dating Jay always made sure you knew that he didn’t expect something big or anything for that matter. The only thing he wanted was his little blended family.
In a really early morning, you had all woken up to get ready for the day. Laughter and jokes filled the small house you had bought together for you and your kids. Having breakfast, sharing plans and teasing one another. And even though it was his birthday no one had said anything about it yet, you all opted to have quality time before he left for work.
There was Gianna -or Gia- Jay’s 15-year-old daughter from a previous relationship. Her mom was still around and even if things hadn’t work out between her and Jay you were all friendly towards each other, she was a nice woman. This was the difference between Gia and Thomas -or Tommy- your 9-year-old son. He didn’t have any other male figure besides Jay, his father had left a long time ago.
So because of this other young humans beings you had been hesitant to try a relationship. Having been proved wrong because almost 5 years later you’re living together and giving each other a chance to be happy again. A chance to be complete.
Sitting at the kitchen table was Jay, Gia and Tommy while you stood leaning on the sink gazing at the people that meant the most to you. A sentiment shared by the young detective.
“Alright I’m leaving” Jay said standing and moving towards the sink.
“Be careful out there okay. Happy birthday” you whispered the last part as he hugged your waist
“Thanks. Love you” he muttered before pulling away and pecking your lips with a little smile that you matched.
“Love you more. Say hi to the team for me” you said as you pecked his cheek a couple of times making him chuckle
Then he moved to the table where Tommy and Gia were making the plans for their snowy day free from school. Their relationship was very cute and even though they weren’t related by blood, they both loved each other as if they were. After all they had been really young when they first met, so they had basically seen each other grow up. As he reached the table he bent to kiss Gia’s forehead before doing the same to Tommy and ruffling his hair.
“Love you both. Behave” he said looking pointily at Gia who raised her hands in surrender making all of you laugh
“Dear father you wound me. I always behave, right Y/N?” Gia said in a matter-of-fact way, making you nod as you hummed
“Yeah right. Stop covering for her babe” Jay countered back not fully convinced and raising an eyebrow towards you
“I’m not” you said between laughs as Gia smiled innocently at her father
“They so are” Tommy whispered squinting his eyes at his stepsister
“Hush Tommy. You on the other hand. Behave, be careful and stop giving Trudy headaches” the girl said raising an eyebrow at his dad to which he squinted his eyes at her going to say something before Tommy spoke.
“Good one Gi!” Tommy said smirking
“Which side are you on?” Gia said rolling her eyes jokingly
“I’m Switzerland” Tommy said winning a snort from the people present.
“High five?” he asked Gia innocently  
“You’re lucky you match my vibe” the teenager responded as they shared the high five laughing
“I’m getting bullied by my children, unbelievable. You guys are the worst” Jay said jokingly shaking his head
“You’re the one always getting shot” Tommy said between chuckles
“Not funny” you said looking pointily at Tommy
“Did he lie, though?” Gia pitched in, making Tommy point at her before nodding his head
“Okay, alright. Now I’m leaving love you all” he said walking towards the front door.
“Love you dad” the kids responded before Jay was out the door. There was a moment of silence before Gia decided to break it.
“So- what’s the plan?” she asked smirking slightly as your son smiled at his stepsister with raised eyebrows
“You shall know soon my young padawans” you answered all three exporting the same expression as you reached for the car keys.
Now hours later you stood in front of the cakes on display in the grocery store not being able to decide on which to order for Jay.
“I think this one is perfect Y/N” Gia commented pointing to a chocolate cake on display
“And I think great mind think alike. You are 100% right Gianna” you answered smiling at her as she told the clerk the cake she wanted.
“Got the balloons ma” Tommy exclaimed from behind the balloons as he walked towards the both of you
“Tommy!” you started laughing at the sight of all the balloons
“I didn’t know which to pick. So I got one of each” Tommy’s voice muffled behind the wall of balloons
“Did you use all the money?” you asked raising a hand to your forehead
“Maybe
” you heard him say in an innocent voice
“I think you might start flying Tommy” Gia said between chuckles as you shook your head with a smile
“Also, I might’ve dragged something from the shelves in isle 3”
“Oh good god. Alright. We got balloons, snacks, and the cake. That just leaves-” your sentence was cut by Tommy
“Mom can I hold the cake?” he asked innocently as you started walking out the store
“Sweetheart, Gia already has
”
“Tell you what. You hold the cake and I’ll hold the balloons. Yep- careful- so that way you don’t go floating away” she interrupted you as she slightly bent to pass him the cake and reach the balloons.
As you had reached the house you three started putting everything together for the little surprise, just to remind him of the good things in life. An hour later between break snacks and exploded balloons you had managed to finish the little details, climbing down the stairs.
“Alright” you clapped gaining their attention,
“Balloons?” “Done” the teenager answered with thumbs up
“Snacks?” “Ready” Tommy pointed to the table
“Movie?” “Set up” your stepdaughter answered
“Cake?” “Looks delicious” at Tommy’s response both you and Gia gazed at him with an amused look
“That leaves-” Gia started reaching for her phone before the back door interrupted her
“Hey! Sorry. Long shift. I parked my car in your backyard” Will, your brother-in-law and coworker said as he rushed into the house with a guilty expression. You waved him off as he proceeded to hug everyone in greeting before looking at everything he smiled.
“He’s gonna love it” he said as he hugged you tightly.
When you opened your mouth to respond the sound of the front door filled the house. Everyone rushing around to the opposite side of the kitchen table to be facing Jay.
“Babe” your boyfriend called
“Kitchen” you shouted back hearing his footsteps heading to the spot you were all in
“Hey, did the kids open the fence to the back-”
“SURPRISE!” you all screamed. As Will blew an airhorn and the kids some cheering props
“Shit!” he said jumping startled putting a hand over his chest and closing his eyes.
You chuckled as you rushed to his side grabbing his face and smashing your lips in his, feeling how he relaxed before his arms circled you by the waist. When you pulled away you smiled before leaving kisses all over his face to which he chuckled.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY” Gia screamed pressing the air horn again as everyone laughed before Will reached to take it from her hands
“Let me take this- thank you. You are dangerous missy” he said making Gia scoff
“Happy birthday, dad. Thanks for everything” Tommy said hugging Jay’s waist the latter not doubting to hug him back
“Bud, you have nothing to thank me for” he whispered before ruffling his hair as Tommy tried swatting his hands away
“Love you dad. Happy birthday” Gia followed
“Thanks sweetheart” Jay answered as he reached for his daughter in a hug
“You may be older, but you just got handsome-ish” the teenage girl said hugging her dad with all her strength as Jay rolled his eyes. You followed the kids, leaning in the kitchen aisle as they hopped on to sit.
“Man. You get uglier by the year” Will jokingly shook his head at his brother from the other side of the table
“Guess what! I look like you” Jay responded smirking before he flipped his brother off
“Are we about to witness a fight?” Tommy whispered to Gia
“Maybe” she answered throwing candy in her mouth
“You know it’s the truth” “We can go outside” Jay and Will kept bickering as you lean to pick a candy from the bowl on Gia’s lap
“Hm interesting. Who would win, the doctor or the detective/ranger?” Tommy continued as he reach for a candy as well and munching it
“Think we should step in?” you asked looking at the Gia and Tommy
“Nope” Gia muttered as you snickered
“We’re not going outside; with your luck you might get shot” Will said pointing at Jay as the latter’s mouth hung in an offended manner
“Damn” Gia muttered eyes wide passing more candy to Tommy who gasped
“You’re right I might get shot. Bullets chase me. You can’t even keep a girlfriend” Jay countered back teasingly shrugging his shoulders  
“Uh. Low blow” Tommy said hand over his mouth, as Gia chuckled
“Real mature Jay” Will said throwing a cheering prop to his brother, being met with Jay’s mocking laugh.
“I am. Just got a lot wiser” Jay said in between laughs as he beckoned the kids to take pictures
Looking between the people that surrounded you in this kitchen you felt happiness. Jay’s smile as he took pictures with the kids and his brother would be ones of many. This memories lasting forever, saved in little polaroid’s on Gia’s memory box.

A/N: Hello my beautiful readers. I worked really hard on this one and I'm really excited for you all to read. Portraying Dahlia "Lia" Halstead is Abigail Cowen. Here is a request from @hngbrooks
[You can listen to "Are You With Me" by nilu]
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
Part II
---------
It was the call you never expected or wished to have, your daughter screaming at the top of her lungs. Nothing was supposed to happen she was at her friend’s house for a sleepover, it was supposed to be a calm and quiet night. Now a couple of hours after the horrible call, the team had reunited at the district to take on the case. You and your husband both replayed in your heads her words and the desperation that came with them.
You and Jay laughed as you sat in the living room both appreciating the night alone and off work. Your 16-year-old daughter Dahlia -Lia as she likes to be called- was currently at her friend’s house. Her parents had planned it for Lia and Lucy -Lia’s friend- and since you had interacted with them before, you both agreed to let her go. It was approximately 11pm when Jay’s phone rang Lia’s face popping on the screen, he answered putting it on speaker.
“Hi honey. Everything alright” Jay asked between chuckles as he laughed at something you said
“Dad
” the tone of her voice made both of you freeze and sit up straight on the couch
“Baby what’s going on? Everything okay?” you asked leaning slightly towards the phone on Jay’s hand. Shallow breathing could be heard from the other line, along with silence.
“There is someone in the house” she whispered. At this your eye widen as your hand on reflex grabbed your husbands forearm, his hand falling into the grasp
“Lia. Listen where are Lucy’s parents?” Jay asked trying to maintain calm during the situation but inside he was as panicked as you were
“I don’t know. I think they left without me. There is no one here, not even Lucy
 Dad I’m scared, I don’t know what to do” her voice broke as she still whispered into the phone. You shared a look with Jay before you both jumped into action, grabbing your keys and rushing to climb into the truck.
“Lia babe. Where are you?” Jay asked as he pulled out of the driveway
“I’m in Lucy’s room” she said as you heard her shuffle around the room silently
“Jay-” you started to talk before getting quiet as you heard noise from the phone. There was a banging on the other side of the line that made you jump, a small cry followed by hurried footsteps.
“Dad- they’re here. I locked myself in the bathroom. But I think they saw me” Lia sobbed as she panted panic invading her senses
“Baby, listen to me alright. We’re on our way. I promise. Stay where you are. We’re coming to get you” Jay said sternly at the thought of something bad happening to his daughter
“Mom” Lia cried into the phone as screaming was being heard, a banging noise after making your heart drop.
“I’m coming Lia. I swear” you exclaimed, making Jay go faster as you both heard struggle from the other side
“MOM! No. Let me go. Dad. DAD!” Lia screamed before there was a thud on the other side. You thought they had done something to make her quiet, but Lia exclaimed one last time.
“Three guys. Dragon tattoo on their necks!” before you heard a slap over the line and silence after that.
Jay started cursing, his hand hitting the steering wheel as your eyes stayed on the screen of the truck her name still there. Hearing shuffling which you could only imagine was her being dragged away. As you arrived at Lucy’s house you both entered guns pointed in case they were still in there. But luck wasn’t on your side, clearing every room you both arrived at the bathroom. The door was ripped from the hinges and there were clear signs of struggle.
“Shit” you barely heard Jay’s curse, as you shook your head. The denial.
“No” you whispered as you frantically moved to look around the bedroom again, almost hoping she was hiding somewhere. Your husband noticed your panicked state so he went towards you.
“Hey Y/N. Listen we’re gonna find her” Jay said cupping your cheeks as your breathing picked up
“You don’t know that Jay” you cried, as he brought you into his arms whispering reassuring words. But nothing made it easy for either of you.
An hour later you were sat at your desk your head in your arms as you silently cried. Jay stood next to you a hand on your shoulder for support as the team was silent, none knew what to say to their friends. Being woken at almost 1am by the news the team didn’t hesitate to spend extra hours trying to find Lia. By now everyone had changed into tactical uniforms prepared for anything that could come up.
“Anything on camera?” Jay asked Kim, the brunette shook her head painstakingly
“She said they had a dragon tattoo on their necks” you said, as you straightened yourself sniffing
“I’ll look into it” Kevin answered as rushing to his desk.
Hank called both of you to his office after he finished his call, neither taking a sit arms crossed with a mixed of concerned and pissed looks on both your faces. 
“Patrol found Lucy’s father, Jason. But. Before we take on this. Are we doing this my way or yours?” Hank asked looking between you and Jay. Nor you neither Jay said a word looking straight at the sergeant, he nodded.
“I don’t give a flying fuck how we do this. Just bring my daughter back. You bring her back” you said jaw tensed as tears burned your eyes.
“Whatever it takes” Jay nodded beside you agreeing with you while he gently squeezed your shoulder.
The older man nodded gesturing to both of you to follow him down to the garage. As you three entered you saw him sitting inside the cage. As he made eye contact with you, you fasten your steps grabbing a bat and opening the door with a swing. Jay wasn’t going to stop you, and neither would your sergeant.
“Where were you? Where is she?” you asked inching yourself closer to him, he shook his head in response
“I SWEAR I’M GOING TO SWING THIS BAT INTO YOUR SKULL!” you screamed, before you raised the bat, he recoiled raising his cuffed hands -you weren’t gonna hit him, not yet at least-
“Where is my daughter, Jason? Talk you coward piece of shit” Jay said next, standing in front at the door of the cage
“You know who has her” you said pointing at him threateningly
“I don’t know what you mean” he said looking directly at you, trying to hide a smile. When you saw this you felt helpless, he was supposed to look after Lia while she was in his house and here he was nonchalantly like he didn’t care.
“You were supposed to look after her, why didn’t you?” Hank asked inching closer, Jason shrugged his shoulders, turning his head avoiding all eye contact 
“Why did you leave her alone at your house!?” you continued grabbing his jaw harshly and turning his head back to look into your eyes. You were met with Jason’s stoic unbothered face.
“I swear to god! I don’t even care if I go to jail” in a swift motion Jay pushed himself of the door and grabbed Jason by the collar of his shirt pulling him to his feet and into the wall behind.
“Talk. Or I’ll let her swing. You wanna play tough, huh, how about now” your husband said grabbing his gun and pointing it at Jason’s throat
“Okay. Okay, I’m sorry I owe them money” Jason said trying to wiggle out of Jay’s hold,
“And you left my daughter at your house! You knew they were coming after you. You ran like the coward you are, taking your family. What about mine?! You left her there! You should be grateful I don’t put a bullet to your fucking head” Jay exclaimed before smacking Jason with the gun.
“You’re going to regret doing that” your husband said putting his gun away grabbing Jason’s arm pulling him off the ground fixing the latter’s shirt. Standing toe to toe with him, face inches away.
“You can’t. You’re a cop” Jason said eye wide as he looked between the three
“Who’s going to stop me” Jay said in a tone so cold it made shivers run doing your spine, he turned to looked towards you taking the bat from your hands.
“Go upstairs” Jay said as you looked up at him with a confused expression on your face. Before you gazed at Hank,
“Go Y/N” the older man said nodding to the stairs
“Jay-” you whispered shaking your head, you were both in this together
“If things go south, one of us has to be out of the loop” Jay gazed into your eyes, making you shake your head in protest
He wanted to make sure that if this got out, somehow, that you would be clear and Lia wouldn’t be alone. Before you could object, you shared a look with your sergeant who nodded encouraging. Hank Voight wouldn’t let anything get out; he would have both of your backs.
“Trust me. He’s gonna talk” Jay said tightening the grip on the bat. You looked towards Jason’s frozen form; he didn’t know how much and with whom he had messed up.
“Do it” you said looking back at Jay and nodding once, before rushing upstairs.
At the same time in some place in the city of Chicago a 16-year-old girl was sitting in the dark, knees pulled to her chest as she laid her head in them. She was tired, confused and scared.
-Who are this people? Are they after my parents?- these were one of her many questions. She was pulled out of her thoughts as she saw the doorknob shake slightly before a man walked in.
The way he held himself made Lia understand he was important, his face was still in the shadows so Lia couldn’t see who it was, the only visible thing was his blonde hair. The three men that had dragged her out of Lucy’s house -thing 1,2 & 3- still wore their ski masks as they stood behind him. Lia recoiled to the corner of the room, silent tears ran down her face as she waited for the man to move or say something.
“YOU HAD ONE JOB” the new voice screamed.
He had an accent that Lia recognized -Russian-. She sobbed silently daring to raise her eyes slightly, confused as she saw that the man wasn’t looking at her instead she was staring at his back as he raised a finger towards the other man.
“Sir?” thing 1 said but was interrupted,
“Who is this kid?” blonde man asked looking over his shoulder at Lia who immediately snap her eyes down, before he turned back to the three.
“That’s-. That’s Jason’s kid. I thought you wanted us to bring her here”
-So, he’s the boss- Lia thought as the kidnapper laughed slightly thinking his boss was joking -oh but he wasn’t-. As she gazed at them again the blonde started laughing making the thing 3 laugh nervously. He turned to Lia,
“Little lady cover your eyes” he said, Lia confused followed what he said putting her head back on her knees. Jumping and covering her ears as she heard a loud popping sound -gunshot- she thought
“You DUMB FUCK” he screamed at the bleeding body.
“God damnit! I gave you a picture. She’s a redhead! Jason’s kid is a brunette, you dumb assholes” he screamed rubbing his forehead, biting his lip as he raised his fist like he was about to punch the other two guys.
“You both are gonna fix this. Now. I’m not happy” the blonde man said as he turned around at the teenager who’s arms covered her head, before he shook his head. The sound of gunshots were heard between the silence.
Back at the district you sat at the edge of your desk. It felt like it had been hours since you left the cage but in reality it had been 20 minutes. Being pulled out of your thoughts when you saw Hank walking into the bullpen, Jay trailing behind
“We’ve got a location. Let’s go!” not a second was waisted after hearing those words as everyone ran to the cars. Jay drove both of you, you took a shaky breath that broke into a sob. You felt your husbands hand on the back of your neck thumb caressing it as you cried.
“Please let her be okay” you kept repeating between sobs bending forward slightly.
Still rubbing his hand on your back Jay was no longer trying to hide his tears. You were both emotionally exhausted and the uncertainty of Lia not making it was destroying you from the inside out. As you arrived at the abandoned building the team dispersed, you followed Hailey as Jay went with Hank.
The place was cold, wet and dark it made you tear at the thought of your daughter being in this place, alone. Room by room, you felt your hope disappear at the emptiness of each of them. The team had cleared the rooms on their side and were coming towards you and Hailey for backup.
“It’s the last one” you whispered voice breaking, Hailey took a deep breath before turning the doorknob and pushing the door open. Both gasping at the sight in front of you.
“Lia. Let her go!” “Drop it!” both Hailey and you exclaimed as you saw a blonde man pointing a gun at your daughters head while she sat tide to a chair tape on her mouth. You could hear her muffled screams and the tears running down her cheeks at the sight of you -her mom- but you were unable to understand anything.
“No, I think I won’t” the man said, as you barely heard Hailey
“There’s bodies” she whispered to you as you flickered your gaze to the floor looking back at your daughter as she closed her eyes
“Lia. Baby open your eyes” you said taking your eyes off the man threatening the life of your only daughter and looking directly at her.
Lia followed what you said making eye contact with you as you gave her a reassuring smile. She knew you were going to save her because, if there was anyone in this world that could do it. That would be you and her dad.
“How cute. You must be mom” the man laughed nudging the tip of his gun into Lia’s head
“You wanna know what your biggest mistake was?” you clenched your jaw as you spoke to the man
“Sending this dumbasses to do a job I could’ve done” he asked humorously
“Yeah- and taking my daughter you asshole” you said before firing your gun.
You breathed out as you ran into the room to your daughters sitting figure. Her eyes closed tightly afraid to open them. As you slowly took it off the tape on her mouth and arms, she started crying in relief
“Mom” “Hey sweetie. You’re okay” you said pulling her to her feet and hugging her tight, hearing heavy footsteps from the hallway.
“Jay! She’s in here” Hailey screamed at the latter who had come into her view.
The rest of the team following closely behind guns raised since they had heard the gunshot echo through the building. Your husband ran like hell towards where Hailey was pointing. He thought of all the possibilities, all of the outcomes and prayed.
As he came into the room he sighed in relief before running towards you engulfing both into his chest as he kissed Lia’s forehead. After a minute you pulled away letting Jay wrapped Lia into a bone crashing hug. His hand protectively tucking her head into his neck your daughter sobbed as she buried herself deeper into her dad’s arms while you caressed her hair.
“You guys came for me” she cried in Jay’s chest, making tears escape your eyes
“Of course, we did” you whispered
“Hey sweetheart. Did they hurt you?” Jay said in her ear desperately, as he silently prayed they hadn’t laid a finger on her hair.
“No. I’m okay” when you heard Lia’s confirmation, both you and Jay breath in relieve as the team closed their eyes relishing in the same feeling.
“Halstead let’s get her to Med” Hank said as he made eye contact with you
“Just give me a minute to hold her, alright” Jay said voice breaking as he locked eyes with the older man who nodded, signaling the team to give you some privacy.
Hours later of rushing Lia to the ED and dealing with a panicked Will Halstead as he saw his niece in a stretcher with the whole team behind it. He had been informed of the whole situation briefly by Hailey, he had mixed emotions about it. He felt hurt Jay hadn’t contacted him as fast as it happened -maybe he could’ve helped- but Will understood the priorities, he knew he would’ve only been in the way.
Now you and Jay sat beside your daughters sleeping form. While she laid on her left side, one hand in yours and the other on Jay’s. Jay brushed the fallen hairs off her face with his free hand as you rested your head on his shoulder. Both looking at your most prized possession, a gift that could’ve easily been snatched from existence.
“I thought we were going to lose her” you whispered trying not to wake your daughter up. At your voice Jay turned his head slightly pecking your forehead before sighing.
“I know, me too. But she’s right here and nothing will ever happen to her. I swear on my life” Jay said as he continued looking at his daughter and brushing her hair.
Before she had fallen asleep Doctor Charles had visited. Lia told the three of you what had happened, what she heard and what the man said to her. You listened carefully; still on edge as parents hearing what she endured. The fear in her voice hunted you both even after hours of looking at her because after this, life would never be the same again.

A/N: Hi again! Here is a request from the beautiful @andreahalstead24
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
---------
It had been sudden. Andrea’s undercover phone had rang, Hank Voight’s name on the screen. Then she felt her world fall underneath her feet. Jay had resigned, the details were a blur to her and since she hadn’t been around for a couple of weeks she didn’t know what her husband was battling with or what he had done, until now. She rushed towards their shared apartment hoping to be able to catch Jay before he left. Unfortunately Andrea was met with a silenced apartment and a letter scribbled in a rushed handwriting -Jay’s-. She knew what she had to do, making the decision right then and there she called Hank.
As Jay arrived at the airport with bag on his shoulder and sad expression on his face. He didn’t want to leave but he knew that he had to in order to try and find the man he once was, because now he only was being hunted by the mistake he had made. He had changed, everything had changed but Jay was certain he had to make this work, somehow. He couldn’t lose Andrea, that was a fact and mostly he couldn’t lose himself.
“Jay” the young man stopped as he heard a familiar voice call for him. As he turned he saw his former sergeant standing on the sidewalk. Walking towards the older man,
“I thought you hated long goodbyes” Jay said as he now stood in front of the Hank
“You can have any job you want in the department, Jay” Hank sighed looking at his ex detective. Jay shook his head as he was about to respond, Hank interrupted him.
“I’d make sure of it, but you don’t need me. You’re passed that” Hank continued.
He had to make sure he said everything he needed before Jay was gone and he had to keep his promise to Andrea, that was the least he could do. Hank knew he had dragged the former detective into a rabbit hole, one he couldn’t come back from and the guilt was eating the older man alive.
“Jay. You don’t want to be me-” the older man was interrupted by Jay
“No. It’s worse than that. I do. I do wanna be you- but I mean, is like you always told me. I’m not and I shouldn’t try” Jay said sadly before a cold expression took place on his face, while Hank looked down. They both knew the other was right, it had to happen.
“Jay we all make mistakes” Hank said after a moment of thought
“Still, is not what a signed up for” he answered shaking his head thinking of everything that brought him to this moment. Every mistake, every doubt and all the guilt.
“Hey and that’s on me. Alright” Hank spoke sternly.
Trying to get the younger man to understand that he didn’t need to carry this weight, because it wasn’t his to carry.
“I couldn’t even say goodbye to my wife. I left her a stupid note” Jay said bitterly voice breaking as he tried to fight the tears thinking of not being able to see her one last time. His wedding band feeling heavy on his finger. He imagined the betrayal and the hurt she would feel when she returned to the empty home, knowing he left the same way her father did when she was a kid. He had promised he would never leave her, but look where that got them.
“Jay
” “No sarge. Just, can you do me a favor?” Jay asked now serious -getting tired of the long goodbye- as he look at the older man
“Anything kid” “Take care of her for me, okay” he whispered before extending his hand for Hank to shake.
“I won’t need to” Hank said.
At this Jay’s eyebrows furrowed confused as Hank nodded pass Jay’s shoulder, the latter slowly turning around. Jay’s breath got caught in his throat at the sight of his wife a couple of feet away from the two men. He sighed, smiling sadly which was returned by Andrea with a little wave. They hadn’t seen each other in weeks yet there she was as beautiful as ever, eyes and cheeks puffy from what he could imagine had been crying before arriving here.
“Good luck Jay” Hank’s voice pulled the young former detective’s attention back, shaking hands with the older man before walking towards his wife. As he got closer he let his bag fall to the ground as he carried her off her feet in an embrace, her arms circling his neck.
“Hi baby” she whispered in his ear, as Jay sighed.
“Hey beautiful” he answered as one arm rounded her waist and the other securely tucked her head in his shoulder. Now he would get the chance to make things right with her before taking that flight into the uncertainty.
After a couple of minutes they pulled away Jay safely placing her back on the ground as his hands went to her cheeks. He looked at her with such love yet with so much regret and guilt, that it made her heart squeeze.
His gaze turned slightly falling on Hailey who was inside Andrea’s truck a smile resting on her face as she waved goodbye before driving away. Then down at Andrea’s feet where a bag was laying. Jay almost got whiplash as his head turned to her eyes furrowing his eyebrows.
“Babe what’s going on?” he asked hands still on her face as she smiled
“Did you really think I would let you leave on your own?” she asked beaming at her husband. His eyes flickering around her face trying to figure out if it was a lie.
“You didn’t-” he shook his head, before being interrupted
“If I’m yours, you’ll know you have to let me go’, what kind of Shakespearean bullshit is that Jay Halstead. Were you really not dragging my ass with you?” Andrea asked raising an eyebrow amusingly as she shook her head while Jay chuckled slightly
“I wrote that because I thought I wouldn’t see you before leaving” he said thumb rubbing her cheekbones
“Fine your kind of right. But you know your Spanish sucks, so you need me” she said pecking his cheek pulling away to pick up her bag. She stopped herself when she saw Jay’s face turning serious again.
Too many questions and ‘what’s if’ going through his head and as if she could read his mind she placed both hands on his cheeks directing his gaze to hers. Standing on the tip of her toes she pulled him into a kiss pouring all of the love and compassion she had, placing her forehead on his as they pulled away.
“We made a vow, babe. Wherever you go. I. Go. No exceptions” words cracking as Jay brushed a tear that had managed to escape her beautiful eyes.
“I don’t want to drag you away Andrea-” “Good thing you’re not”
He shook his head with a thin lined smile before pulling her back into his arms digging his nose into her hair, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes. He wanted to keep the tears at bay, safe to say it wasn’t working. God how much he loved the smell of cinnamon she always managed to have.
She always felt like home to him and he knew that they would always have each other. Pulling away and bending to pick up their bags Jay reached to hold her hand making Andrea intertwined their fingers bringing their joint hands to her lips as she gave a sweet peck on the back of his hand both walking to a new chapter. Together.
It had been a couple of months -4 to be exact-. Andrea was currently in Will’s car on her way to the district. She had returned to Chicago a couple of days ago so she could pack some of hers and Jay’s last stuff that his brother hadn’t had time to send to them and bring it back with her. The trip only lasting 4 days so she would be back at Bolivia in 2 days. Now climbing the stairs to the front desk, she smiled and waved at the older woman who immediately rounded the desk to give her a hug.
“Look at you. You guys been married for 4 years and now you decide to procreate a baby chuckles, huh sunshine” Trudy said amused as Andrea laughed shrugging her shoulders
“Surprise” she shook her hands, while Trudy shook her head scoffing,
“Go on. Their exited to see you” Trudy ushered her up the stairs.
As she got to the top of the stairs she looked around everything seemed the same. Her gaze fell on Jay’s desk and memories started to surface making her smile. The team hadn’t noticed her yet,
“Is this how you welcome me back. I know you guys missed me don’t pretend” at the sound of her voice multiple heads turn and a lot of cheers were shared before the team one by one hugged the former teammate. There were familiar faces and new faces.
“Oh. Andrea this are our new team members. Ashley and, I think you already know Dante” Hailey introduced
“Nice to meet you, Ashley” “Likewise, Detective Halstead. I’ve heard a lot about you from your former partner” -that would be Kim- Andrea smiled at her best friend who smiled back
“Hi Dante”
Andrea said turning to Dante who shared a smile with Andrea while hugging each other slightly. Andrea had only seen him once before she left given that she spend most of the time after his arrival being undercover. Nonetheless Jay had shared a lot about the young man with his wife, plus Dante often calls Jay -they had managed to turn into friends/ mentor-alumni-.
“Look at you!” Kim smiled as she caressed Andreas baby bump, Hailey following suit
“Yeah. I ate a watermelon seed. Guess what Adam used to say it’s true” Andrea giggled as she shrugged her shoulders making the team groan in response,
“Atta girl” Adam giving her a high five in response while the other chuckled
“How are you guys? How is Jay?” Kevin question was met with a beaming Andrea but before she could answer, her phone rang making her laugh before she answered it
“Hey! Look who I ran into” Andrea said as she turned her phone showing the intelligence unit who had video called -their friend-.
“Hey man! Looking good!” Kevin addressed first, followed by other greetings
“I am good. How’s my girl? Is she alright, arrived with all her beautiful self and the precious cargo intact?” Andrea rolled her eyes as the team laughed. After an hour of talking to Jay catching up and sharing events that he had missed it was time to hang up.
“Hey, yo, guys sorry to ruin it but they’re calling me” Jay said waving at his friends
“Be safe, man” Adam said
“Will be. You be careful dumbass. Can I talk to my wife please and thank you” Jay said, as Kevin called Andrea. She started walking into the break room before her face appeared on the screen making Jay beam before winking at her, this being met with her chuckles.
“Be careful, baby” Andrea said sighing
“Always. I’ll be back at the house before you arrive. I love you both!” he said smiling
“I love you too! See you soon” she smiled as he hung up
Gazing out at the bullpen, she looked at the new and old faces. Andrea smiled knowing that no matter how much time went by, this, this right here wouldn’t change.

A/N: Hello beautiful people! Here is a request from @hngbrooks . Hope everyone likes it.
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
---------
Walking across the stage of your high school graduation ceremony you felt blessed. Looking through the crowd for your family and beaming as you made eye contact with your dad. Jay felt proud of you, as proud as he could be, his daughter had accomplished one life goal in a long list of good things to come. Right at his side was your uncle Will and Hailey -your dad’s girlfriend- the other two people who meant the absolute world to you right here sharing this moment with you. As the students reunited with their families you ran to yours tackling your dad in a big embrace which he returned immediately.
“There’s my girl. Let’s get to Molly’s” he whispered the first part to only you and looked at his brother and girlfriend nodding as a sign to leave.
“Wait Molly’s?” you asked confused as Hailey threw her arm around your shoulders guiding you out to the parking lot
“Yep, Trudy and I went all out on your celebration party. Everyone put a little of their own help in it” she said chuckling as she remembered Trudy barking orders at the girls from Med, PD and CFD
“You guys didn’t have too, honestly” you said shyly as you all reach your dad’s truck. Smiling slightly as you heard your uncle scoff from beside you
“Nonsense, you deserve it” Will responded winking at you and kissing your head before you all climbed into the truck pulling off to the familiar bar.
You couldn’t be more grateful because even though life had thrown stones in your way you had finally graduated from high school and one step closer to your life goals. Knowing you owed everything to your dad who hadn’t given a second thought to always saying present to every moment of your life. You were blessed to have not only your immediate family -uncle Will, your dad and his girlfriend Hailey- but you were also part of a bigger family which was your Chicago chosen family.
Here's the thing, a little back story, when your “mother” found out she was pregnant she made it clear from that moment that she wouldn’t be a part of your life. You knew that a couple of weeks after you were born she packed her stuff and left with no trace behind. Your dad had shared the story when you were mature enough to understand both sides of the story and to know that it hadn’t been your fault she left, making sure you knew you weren’t guilty of it.
She had her own struggles with depression and addiction but that’s a story for another time, she wasn’t prepared to be a mother period. Jay tried looking for her but at the end he gave up if she didn’t want to be part of your life then that was on her. You thrived nonetheless, which brought you to the now, all of your family in one place. Each people in their own conversations but nonetheless being in the moment to celebrate you.
“Here’s to my beautiful, smart and not so baby girl. I’m so proud of the young woman you turn out to be. I couldn’t be happier to call you my daughter. To Y/N!” Jay spoke raising his beer at you as the Intelligence table -plus Will- cheered for you.
“Thanks dad” you said as you wrapped your arms around his waist tucking yourself in his chest as he pecked your head.
“Love you baby” whispered as he caressed your back slightly
Because you had turned out better than he initially thought possible. Even if most times he doubted himself as a single father you both managed to make it work and today was prove of all of it.
Everything was going smoothly, you had gone around the bar sharing laughs with some of 51 and med. Until a strange and uninvited guest appeared through Molly’s door, Jay instantly tensed up at the sight of the woman. She must’ve been familiar to the people on the bar because everything went silent and there was an uncomfortable feeling lingering. As she made eye contact with you, she proceeded to get closer making you take a step back -you didn’t know who she was-. Your dad and uncle took a step in front of you, Hailey rushing to your side while you took her hand.
“What the hell are you doing here?” Jay harshly said,
“Y/N baby. It’s me, mom” she ignored Jay, talking directly to you.
At the words she spoke your eyes widened looking at the back of your dad’s head. He shook his head, jaw tense and a glare on his face -not believing the audacity of the woman-. How dare she? Come back after 17 years and pretend nothing happened. No one dared say anything but you knew the feelings were all mutual, everyone felt some kind of way towards the woman standing a couple of feet in front of you.
“You lost that privileged a long time ago” Will said, glancing over his shoulder making sure his niece was alright
“Sarah, I think you should leave” Kelly spoke trying to de-escalate the situation. There were too many emotions running high and he wanted to protect you from it all, as everyone else.
“C’mon Y/N. The least you can do is help me! I’m ready to be your mom.” she said almost hatefully, making you flinch slightly
“Hey, cut it out-” Jay yelled said before being interrupted by you
“Seriously!” you said tears in your eyes that you refused to let free as you looked at Sarah, a relieved look crossed her face -she really thinks I’ll pretend too- you thought
“Honey-” she said trying to reach for you being met with Jay pushing her hand away
“Don’t even think about it” he said warningly, towering over her shaking his head
“I’m her mother, besides I just need a couple of dollars” she said scoffing, which broke your heart along with the shaky breath that left your lips.
She wasn’t here for you, she just needed money. It made you sadder at the thought of looking at the woman who gave birth to you standing here and not feeling anything familiar towards her. She was a stranger, a stranger with a biological tittle that at the end of this night didn’t mean anything at all.
“No. It’s too late. Are you serious right now?” you exclaimed a pissed look on your face mixed sadness
“Get over it Y/N, I wasn’t ready” she said rolling her eyes
“And you think dad was!? Do you think he was ready to be a dad and a mom for me! Do you think I was ready to grow up without a mom. Huh?”
“Y/N, I’m here now, am I not?” she answered nonchalantly shrugging her shoulders
“You don’t get to abandon your daughter and then show up 17 years later pretending it didn’t happen! Are you kidding me Sarah” the situation was turning into a screaming match and everyone knew it wouldn’t end well.
“I’m your mother!” she yelled pointing at you stepping towards you
“Hey! Don’t yell at my daughter” Jay shouted on top of her screams putting his hand in front of you to prevent her from coming any closer. Sarah was about to say something to Jay when you interrupted her
“No! You are selfish! Not everyone that gives birth is a mother you’re living prove of it! She is my mother, she is my mother too and her, and her. Every woman in this place is my mother! I don’t need you to come and try to fix things and pretend we’re family
can you please leave!” you exclaimed as tears rolled down your cheeks
“You!” she pointed angrily at Jay and then looked at Hailey with hatred in her eyes. She saw how you held hands with her and she felt replaced, not that it mattered.
“You made my daughter cry. You better leave now!” Jay pointed towards the door before starting to go back towards you
Now standing next to you his arm around your shoulders running his hand up and down your arm as you rested your head on his shoulder. The others tried to slightly guide Sarah out of the bar, but of course she didn’t want to leave without making a scene.
“You think you’re special. What are you, my replacement!” she screamed at Hailey, as Will and Kelly tried to guide her out of the bar. This made the detective leave her spot from beside you stepping towards Sarah, now toe to toe with the woman. The force of Hailey’s glare made her recoil slightly, Hailey was intimidating when she wanted to be.  
“There was nothing to replace. Leave. Now” Hailey said in a tone so cold it made shivers go down your spine.
“I’ll kick her ass if she doesn’t leave chuckles” Trudy said unamused as she stood next to Hailey arms crossed matching her usual cold tone and stoic face
“You won’t be doing it alone, Platt!” Leslie said from the bar, making Gabby and Kim nod in agreement
“Damn right!” Maggie commented from one of the other tables agreeing with her friends
If Sarah wanted to make a big deal, they were ready turn it into a big deal. You had practically the whole city at your corner and they would have your back no matter what. Because while the man were “politely” trying to get Sarah out the woman were ready to jump the woman.
With one last look towards your figure tucked at your dad’s side she scoffed turning around and leaving.
“And
the witch is gone!” Adam yelled, making everyone chuckle slightly, including you.
“I think you meant the bitch!” Leslie muttered but since the bar was so silent her comment was heard by everyone in the bar.
Gabby elbowed Shay giving her a ‘are you serious’ look and gesturing towards you. Because after all she was still the woman who gave birth to you and the last thing they wanted was to offend you or make you feel worse.
“Shit. I’m sorry Y/N, she’s not a bitch” she shook her head raising her hands in surrender as you gave her a small smile.
“Nah I think she is a bitch” you agreed,
“Hey. Swear jar miss” Jay said looking down amusedly at you while everyone tried not to laugh, slowly returning to their own conversations.
Jay guided you to the table and sat next to you thinking how Sarah had ruined the night for you, he wished he could change things like this, but sometimes they were inevitable. Hailey sat on the other side taking your hand and giving it a slight squeeze to which you smiled before letting go.
“Damn sarge. I wanted to see you throw hands” Kevin said to Trudy as she passed next to the intelligence table ruffling your hair teasingly and winking before walking back to Mouch.
“Even I was ready to throw hands and I don’t even know the woman” Vanessa said raising her hand, while you laughed.
As the table started talking between themselves Jay glanced at you caressing your head at the contact you too glanced at him.
“You okay, hon?” he asked low enough to just be heard by the both of you. You smiled nodding
“So that’s Sarah, huh” you sighed, Jay following suit
“I’m sorry” he turned his eyes away sadly before meeting your eyes again
“Don’t be dad. Now that I met her
I’m really glad she didn’t raised me. I wouldn’t change my life for anything dad. You are the main reason I am, who I turned out to be today” you said resting your head on his shoulder as he sighed. Resting his head on top of yours and closing his eyes trying to hold the tears,
“And you are my greatest accomplishment. From this point on I’ll just be prouder of you than I already I’m” a smile on his face, that you matched. As your head still rested on your dad’s shoulder your eyes casted around the bar, looking at the faces and all the people that had made your life as blessed as you could’ve wished.

A/N: Hey hey, beautiful readers. Here is a request from @onechicagolovr Based on the song 'The Good Ones' by Gabby Barrett
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!

You knew he was different from the first time you interacted with him. Meeting by your friend Kim, who is on the same unit as your boyfriend. And quite frankly you had given up on love, plus you had other responsibilities that not many people would accept. But he was unique in his own way a truly loving soul and tonight proved it, yet again.
Almost 10 pm and your 2-year-old daughter Olivia or Livy was not in the mood to sleep. You had been bouncing her in your arms and signing softly but she is stubborn so of course, not working. -God, sleep is glorious, why don’t you wanna sleep?- you thought to yourself
“Please Livy, I really need a break” you whispered as she cried her little eyes out your were getting tired and frustrated.
Just as you were about to call it quits the front door of your house opened making you sigh in relief as Jay walked in a bouquet of flowers on his hand, walking over to you kissing you softly.
“Hi beautiful. Hey- what’s wrong?” his happy expression morphed into concern as he saw your teared up eyes still bouncing Livy as she started crying again.
“I need to tap out. Please” you whispered trying not to cry, but it was frustrating and kind of heart breaking to not be able to get your baby to sleep.
Jay immediately understood nodding his head and taking Livy from your arms. As started biting your nails nervously tears now rolling down your cheeks. Livy had tucked her face in his chest and snacking her little arms around his neck and you were grateful. So, so grateful that this man had taken the role of a father even though his blood didn’t run through her veins.  
“Babe don’t cry” he said softly furrowing his eyebrows as his hand came to caress your cheekbone. He’s a good one for sure, which made you want to cry even more.
“I’m trying
I’m trying really hard” you breath out as you brushed the tears
“I know honey. Hey- I got her. Don’t worry. Take a breather” with that you went to the kitchen.
You busied yourself putting the dishes away. Not knowing how much time had passed when you only heard silence so you made your way back to the living room, confused. It was empty. As you were about to call for Jay a muffled voice and a set of giggles was heard from Livy’s room.
Coming to stand on the doorway your heart melted at the sight in front of you. Livy was fighting against sleep but it was clear sleep was winning. You chuckled into your hand as quietly as you could,
“My little angel” Jay said, loving eyes as he rested his head slightly on top of hers rocking her side to side
“Da-da” your heart stopped as you heard what your daughter had blabbered to Jay before she succumbed to sleep. You quietly looked at Jay, he hadn’t moved he only could beam.
“God, you’re killing me” he whispered before putting her in her crib pulling her blankie towards her. Pushing yourself off the doorframe you walked towards his hunched figure as he towered over Livy’s resting form. Wrapping your arms around his waist and kissing his shoulder blade which made Jay sigh draping his arms on top of yours while you both looked down at the little angel.
“God I love her. I’m so fucking grateful” he said in between chuckles, his gaze still locked on Livy as he smiled.
“She loves you more than you think, Jay. I love you” “I love you both”

A/N: Hey. Here again! Here's a request from the gorgeous @allisonargent144
Don't be afraid to leave your comment!
-----------
It wasn’t planned. Aubrey hadn’t expect to have a crush on the handsome detective in the Intelligence Unit, nor would she express anything to him given he was in a happy relationship with his partner -Hailey- who was a newfound friend and confident of Aubrey’s. Aubrey was just the receptionist of the respected unit. But it happened about 8 months ago Jay and Hailey separated, two months ago Aubrey and Jay started dating. At the beginning things were fine between the three, given they were all being mature and moving on. But things started changing, Hailey no longer treated Aubrey like a friend, just like a coworker, they both kept it civil.
A couple of hours ago Jay and Aubrey decided to share the news with the team, they were expecting a baby. Everyone congratulated the new couple, surprisingly this included Hailey. Because even though the couple had been together for just two months, they were happy, but now, Aubrey felt strangely nervous -more than usual-. By the end of the day, she had gone to the bathroom, no one noticing she had gone there, given there were only four people left in the bullpen. Aubrey heard other voices coming from outside the stalls.
“I don’t understand, we were fine. Not civil, we used to be friends. Does she hate me?” that was Hailey’s voice. At this Aubrey tried her best to be still and listen, who were they talking about?
“You know she’s just possessive and jealous. What a way to tie him. Such a bitch move” -Nat? the patrol woman-  now Aubrey was confused as hell. She always felt something odd about the woman.
“C’mon Nat. Don’t call her that. Plus, they’re happy. I’m happy and- I mean- I don’t know do you think it would be cool to talk to her. To clear things, it’s just this vibe I’m sensing it’s not like her” Hailey sternly said to Nat, before asking the question.
“No. Are you really going to stoop that low, to talk to her. She hates you; you know! She told me herself
” Nat said in a taunting voice.
There Aubrey realized that it wasn’t Hailey being weird, it was this chick telling Hailey lies. Finally, Aubrey built the courage to step out of the stall, serious look on her face and a glare directed specially to Nat. Hailey’s face changed instantly from concerned about the situation to stoic.
“Hey- Aubrey. How are you? Congrats on the baby” “Cut the bullshit Nat” Aubrey said interrupting the rat.
“Aubrey that’s enough. Don’t start it” Hailey warningly said,
“What exactly am I starting? Cause we were fine around each other until a couple of months ago” Aubrey asked, eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Hailey
“Probably stealing her man” Nat muttered under her breath.
“That bullshit. You were okay with me dating Jay! We talked about it, and you said it was done and brushed. You knew I wouldn’t have made a move towards a relationship with Jay without discussing it with you, I care about our friendship. And then you started acting like a bitch” Aubrey exclaimed,
“Nat told me everything. You don’t need to lie!” Hailey matched Aubrey’s tone
“What? That she’s a shit talking bitch. And a big fat liar on top of everything?” Aubrey continued, taking a step forward,
“Who are you calling fat? That’s going to be you on a couple of months!” Nat exclaimed taking a step towards Aubrey’s short frame, while the latter kept arguing.
“Woah, woah. No! We are not doing this. She is pregnant Nat and as much as she may hate me. I’m not letting you touch her!” Hailey exclaimed on top of the bickering, stepping in between both woman raising her hands.
“Hate you? Who the hell said that?” Aubrey asked. Of course, she knew the truth, after all she heard their conversation completely, she just wanted Hailey to figure it out herself.
“Nat-” she said in an obvious way, pointing to the other woman in the room, who had recoiled slightly away.
“Hailey! You wanna know the truth. I never said anything about you. To anyone, not even Nat. We don’t even talk. Quite frankly I don’t trust her ass” Aubrey exclaimed raising her hands and widening her eyes.
“Wai- what? Nat?” Hailey turned to look at the other woman arms crossed matching Aubrey’s glare. Before it could be discussed, Aubrey felt a pressure on her abdomen that made her gasp. This gaining back the attention of both woman.
“Aubrey? Are you okay. Should I call Jay?” Hailey asked reaching for the pregnant woman, with a nod from Aubrey,
“Jay!” Hailey screamed at the top of her lungs, sending Nat a murderous look. She was going to get what she deserved.  
In the bullpen, that was almost empty, apart from Jay, Kim and Trudy; they had heard some mumbling from the bathroom, before a scream reached their ears. This send the trio into an alert state, running towards the scream and reaching the bathroom. Being met with a patrol woman rushing out and Hailey grabbing Aubrey’ frame.
“What happened? What did you do?!” Jay asked panicked as he reached for his girlfriend, yelling at Hailey,
“I- Jay I swear-” “Jay
” Aubrey managed to breath out the words shaking her head slightly, making sure he didn’t murder the poor blonde. At her voice Jay softened his eyes before looking at Aubrey with a concerned look.
“Baby. What do you need?” he said grabbing her hands in support.
“I can’t move Jay” she panted while Jay caressed her hair. Unknown to them Hailey was briefly explaining the situation to Trudy and Kim.
“I knew it! I knew she was shady” Kim muttered, cracking her knuckles readying herself
“Not the time Burgess. Go take them to the ED. Keep me posted, Hailey and I will handle everything here” Trudy said giving orders to the young woman.
“It hurts Jay
” Aubrey cried breathing heavily,
“I know. I know, sorry. I’m sorry” Jay whispered in her ear kissing her forehead. As he bridal carried her to the waiting car.
A couple of hours later, they were at Aubrey’s place. She had been sent home, on the condition of a lot of rest -no exceptions-. They had been talking cuddle on the couch when the doorbell rang,
“I got it” Jay said standing up, but when he opened the door, he came face to face with Hailey.
“What?” he asked, no emotion on his voice,
“Jay. I know I’m the last person you want to see. But I swear to you I would never hurt her. It was all a misunderstanding from my part. I just- listen I came to apologize, you can just send me away, but I would really appreciate if you let me say sorry to her. And to you”
“Hailey
” Jay started, shaking his head
“Please Jay. I really want to fix this. As a friend” she looked directly at him, nervously.
“Fine, but if anything happens
” he sighed before turning serious at the last part
“You can kick me out, end of discussion” she interrupted, nodding
She wasn’t a bad person; she just trusted the wrong one. Hailey truly missed her partner and her friend -well before everything exploded in their faces-. Stepping into the living room, Aubrey faced them both confused, before looking at Jay who gave her a small smile.
“I’ll be in the kitchen. If you need anything just shout” he said to Aubrey before walking away leaving both woman alone.
“Hi” Hailey gave her a sad smile
“Hey” Aubrey responded signaling for her to sit on the other couch.
“I’m sorry. For everything I did and said about you
” “Hailey” Aubrey tried to interject,
“No. I know. Just let me take responsibility for what I did. I trusted the wrong person and I hurt you in the process. Hurt Jay and could’ve hurt your baby. I- I’m really truly sorry for the part I took in all of it. You were right, we were friends once. And I would really love to go back to that, even if it takes longer for us to trust each other again” Hailey said, looking down at the coffee table as she finished talking.
“Hails. You really need to check your taste in friends” Aubrey said jokingly.
“Yeah. I know. Didn’t make the mistake before so I thought it would be fine. Guess I was wrong” she responded trying not to laugh
“Ya think!” both chuckling
“I accept your apology. And I’m sorry for my part as well. Even though it wasn’t even our fault” Aubrey said quietly.
“You’re right I should choose better on my taste of friends” Hailey groaned as they both chuckled. There was a moment of silence,
“It’s the baby alright?” Hailey shyly asked
“Yes. Turns out I’m far longer than I expected. But it’s a high risk one, so, rest and more rest to come” Aubrey smiled at Hailey, who gave her an apologetic one.
“Hey. Are we good? It got quiet” Jay asked stepping out of the kitchen an amused look on his face.
“We discussed Hailey’s bad taste on friends” Aubrey teasingly said, smirking at Hailey who laughed a bit.
“But we’re good. Right?” Aubrey asked smiling slightly at Hailey
“Right”
