~Flashback~ This was right before Antonio recruited Jay for Intelligence
"Locky mans, guess who's coming home today!" Erin says, as she walks into their son's room and sees him standing up in his crib and smiling. "Dada" He says. "Yes, yes baby boy! Dada is coming home today!" Erin says, picking him up. Locklan claps and smiles. Jay is returning home after his 6 month tour in Afghanistan with the 75th Ranger Regiment deployed to the Korangal Valley. Erin carries their 2 year old son downstairs and into the kitchen. She sits him in his highchair and grabs a handful of Cheerios for him to snack on while she makes them breakfast. After they eat, Erin takes him back upstairs to get him dressed.

She then got herself dressed, she grabbed her keys and picked up Locklan and headed out to her SUV. She buckled Locklan in his car seat and got in the front seat, she drove to the location where the soldiers unload from the buses, grabbed Locklan from his car seat and the sign they made for Jay and waited for him. The whole ride there, "Dada! Dada! Dada! Dada!" was all Erin heard from the backseat. She didn't mind it, they both were excited to have him back! It's been a long 6 months. Erin is just relieved to know her husband is back and In one piece!

After waiting around, they finally saw Jay emerge from the crowd of military spouses and families all being reunited. "Dada! Dada! Dada! Dada!" Locklan squeals, squirming to get down, he does a little happy dance before racing over to Jay. "Locky mans!" He drops his duffle bag and bends down, Locklan jumps into his arms and Jay stands up with him in his arms. Erin runs to him, hugging him and crying tears of joy. "I missed you so much!" Jay says, holding her with his free arm and kissing the top of her head. "We've missed you more than you know" Erin and Jay stay like that for a good few minutes before packing back up in the car and heading home. Once they got home, Locklan followed Jay around like a lost puppy and if Jay wasn't in sight, Locklan would have a fit, crying for him. "Dadas right here, Locky mans" Jay says, picking his son up and heading back to the couch where Erin was waiting for them. The rest of the day was spent as a much needed family time.
*Sorry this is short, clearly I know nothing about the military*
