{about 3 months later}
Erin was 5 months pregnant
The word was out that Erin was pregnant and everyone was super supportive

It was thanksgiving so they were at jays family's cabin in Vermont

it was the day before they were supposed to leave 

they had everything packed up 

The kids were outside playing around in the yard while the guys watched them 

The women were inside
Cindy=I just can believe you are pregnant
Erin=I know
Caroline=I'm just so excited
Kate=yeah we could use another baby around here
Sandy=yes and hopefully this one might be a boy
Erin=Jay and I were actually hoping for another girl
Natalie=really
Erin=yeah Leah wants a sister and I think it would be great for her to have one
Kate=yeah that's true
Cindy=either way I'm just so ready for my grand baby
Outside
Will=oh Jay bout to have a baby
Ben=never thought I'd see that one coming
Paul=so tell me Jay was this one planned
Ben=nah my boy just too good
They all laughed
Will=I'm not sure Erin would agree with that
Jay=I'm sure she would
Pat=so how do y'all expect to afford these kids
Jay=what
Will=dad
Pat=what I think it's an honest question
Jay=we have plenty of money to be able to raise our kids
Pat=yeah on a cops salary
He scoffed
Jay=excuse me
Paul=pat cmon
Pat=what there's nothing wrong with asking questions
Jay=do you just try to ruin everything
Pat=I don't ruin shit maybe it's you just being irresponsible
Jay=IRRESPONSIBLE?!
Will=GOD DAMN SHUT THE FUCK UP
Everyone just looked at him
Will=I'm tired of this shit every time we get together there's a fight between you to just stop
Jay=I'm gonna go
Will=where
Jay=don't worry about it
Will=jay
Jay=I said don't worry about it
He stormed off and got in hit truck and left
Will=son of a bitch
Pat=well there's that
Will=shut the fuck up dad
Pat=excuse me
Will=you always do this shit
Pat=i always do what
Will=you always have to start shit with him for no reason
Pat=it's not my fault he's failure
Will=but he's not that's the point
Brantley=guys should we call Jay
Will=I doubt he'll answer
Ben=should we go tell Erin
Will=hell no
Ben=why not
Will=because she's a pregnant woman and you want to tell her that her husband left and won't say where he was going
Ben=no I guess not
Paul=but surely she's going to notice he's not here
Will=we will worry about that later when the time comes
{1 hour later}
Will had called Jay about 10 times and he still won't answer
Will=son of a bitch just answer the damn phone
Paul=he still won't answer
Will=no
They were all inside by this point
Erin=hey guys have you seen Jay
They all looked at each other
Ben=no we don't exactly know where he is
Erin=what do you mean you don't know where he is
Pat=he got mad and pitched a temper tantrum
Erin=what
Will=no dad stop
Brantley=basically pat and Jay got in an argument and Jay left and he won't answer the phone
Erin=when was this
Ben=about an hour ago
Erin=fuck
She walked into another room and started calling him
Voicemail
Erin=Jay I swear if you don't answer this damn phone
She kept trying but he wouldn't answer
She walked back into the living room where everyone was
Natalie=he won't answer the phone?
Erin=no
Kate=hey it's getting kinda late for the kids we should go ahead and feed them
Caroline=yeah I'm sure Jay is just blowing of steam
They brought the kids in and sat them down at the kids table
Leah=mommy
Erin=yes baby
Leah=wheres daddy
Erin=he's umm
Will=he's just busy right now
Erin=right
Leah just shrugged and started eating
After dinner they put the kids to bed
Erin tried to call one more time but he didn't answer
Erin=that's it I'm going to find him
Cindy=by yourself
Sandy=yeah it's a little late
Erin=well this isn't like him not to answer the phone
Will=Erin I'll go with you I know my way around better than you
Will drove his  car while erin rode in the passenger seat
Erin=what the hell is going on
Will=I don't know he's probably fine
Erin=well if he is fine when we find him he won't be when I'm done with him
Will=erin he just goes crazy when he's with dad
Erin=that's not an excuse to make me his pregnant wife by the way worried
Will=I know but dad brings out the worst in him this isn't him
Erin=I'm gonna track him
She took her phone out and went to life 360 he's 15 minutes away
They followed the directions
As they went Will knew where he was and he knew erin was gonna be pissed
Will hesitantly pulled up at the bar right beside jays truck
Erin=are you fucking kidding me he's at a bar
Will=erin why don't you let me go get him
Erin=oh no I'm going
They walked inside and saw Jay and the bar drinking
They walked up to him
Erin=Jay Halstead
Jay turned his head and started smiling he tried to get up and stumbled over to her
Jay=how's it going baby
Erin=your drunk
Jay=oh I'm having a blast
Erin=we're going home now
Jay=oh just have a drink baby and relax
Erin=I'm pregnant you dumb fuck or did you forget
Jay=okay okay why the bad attitude
Erin=are you-
Will=okay erin let me get him
Will grabbed his arm
Will=Jay let's go now
Jay=im not going nowhere
Erin=yes the hell you are
Jay=fine whatever he tried to walk holding onto will
Will put him in the backseat
Will=alright let's go back home
They started driving
Jay=I have a blast tonight
They just ignored him
Jay=oh god I'm gonna throw up
Will=Jay if you throw up in my car
Jay=I'm gonna throw up
Will=shit
He pulled over on the side of the rode and pulled him out and let him throw up
When he was done they loaded him back up
When they got home they went and put him on the couch
Paul=someone had a good time
Jay=I feel amazing
Erin rolled her eyes and went to shower
Ben=he's gonna have fun dealing with that tomorrow
Will covered him with a blanket and everyone else went to sleep
