Long distance relationship

Erins POV 

Since Jay has been overseas Hank has made me partners with Antonio because he will have my back just like Jay did. After Jay left there was this one day where I was really sick. I just that that I had the flu, so I went to work as usual but when Hank and I were interviewing a suspect I started to feel really sick that I almost passed out. Luckily Hank was there because once that happened he drove me to Chicago Med right away. When we got to Chicago Med they ran some tests and when they told me what they found out I was in complete shock. Will was my doctor which is Jay's brother. He told me that I am pregnant and that I am expecting twins. When I heard this news I didn't know how to react. I just sat there in silence, Will went to get hank for me. Once Hank walked in he didn't know what Will told me. 

Hank, I have to tell you something. I said 

What's up kiddo. Hank said

Well....I'm pregnant with twins. I said

Does Jay know? Hank asked

No, I just found out, I don't think I should tell Jay until he comes back. I said 

Erin, he should know. Hank said 

I want to tell him. Trust me I do, its just that I don't want him to be worrying about me anymore than he already is. He needs to be 100% focused while he is over there not worrying about the babies and me. I said

Whatever you decide just remember that I love you and support you. Hank said 

Thank you. I said 

Let's get you back to work, oh and before you try to fight me on this you are on desk duty for a couple days. Hank said

I figured. I said

Once we agreed that I would be put on desk duty for a few days, we drove back to the district. When we got back I knew that everyone would ask me if I was ok and if they knew what happened. I know that the team should know, but I just feel guilty that they will get to know about the babies and Jay won't be able to know. I know that it's my choice not to tell Jay. It's for the best though. 

Hank POV

Erin found out that she is going to have twins, I can't believe that I'm going to be a grandpa again. I wish Jay was here, but since he isn't that means I will be stepping up and helping her with whatever she needs. 

Erin POV

When we arrived back at the district we just sat in Hank's car. I just sat there thinking about all that happened in the last hour. I don't think I can tell anyone else before Jay gets back, but I know they have to know since they will start to figure out that I'm pregnant soon. Jay is suppose to call me later today. I don't think I can even talk to him, I'll want to tell him but I can't. Hank has been sitting next to me this whole time that I have been thinking. 

Hank what should I do? I asked

About Jay? Hank asked

Yea, I want to tell him believe me but I know that when he knows he will want to come home and be with me. It's just that if he knows then he won't be focused like he should be. I said 

Erin, just remember that whatever you do Jay will always love you. He will understand why you kept it a secret. Hank said

Hank, how did I get so lucky to have you in my life. Thank you for supporting me in my decision I just know it's best for him. I said 

We should head inside, have you decided if you are going to tell the rest of the team yet. Hank asked

Yea we should. I want to tell them but I feel like Jay should know. I said 

I know that you want Jay to know first but if you are going to keep it from him then you do need to tell the team. They need to know in order to keep the three of you safe. Hank said 

I guess you are right. I guess I am telling them today. I said 

Well, you ready to tell them? Hank asked 

I am as ready as I can be. I said 

Well then let's get inside. Hank said 

Hank and I head inside, we go in the back way so that Platt doesn't ask me any questions, because I can't tell her until the team knows. 

Hey guys. I said 

Erin you alright. Dawson asked

Yea I'm fine, it's just that I found out some news. I said

What's the news. Ruzek asked

Well, it turns out that the reason I've been sick lately is because I'm pregnant with twins. Also Jay can't know. I said. 

Congratulations Erin. Dawson said

I'm happy for you and Jay. Alvin said

Those two kids are gonna have great parents. Atwater said

Congrats Erin. Ruzek said. 

Thank you guys, it means a lot. I just wish Jay was here. I said

After I said I wished Jay was here, everyone came and gave me a hug since they all realized that I missed him a lot. Jay has only been gone for a couple weeks and I miss him so much. He comes home on the day that the twins are born I hope that I don't go into labor early because I want him here when they are born.
