Please don't cry

Erin had been in hospital for two weeks. Today she was finally getting out. She got changed into a pair of clothes that Kim had brought her yesterday. She had to use crutches for another two weeks and then she was fully healed.

She left her room and on the way out of Chicago med, said goodbye to Will, Natalie, April and Maggie. She got outside and saw Voight standing beside his car. She went over and got in the car awkwardly due to her crutches. "Thanks for taking me home," Erin said to Voight as he climbed into the car. "No problem Erin, I'm just glad your okay," he replied as they drove out of the car park.

When they reached Erin's apartment, Voight killed the engine and turned to Erin, "Anything else you need to say before I'm your boss again?" "Nope, not that I can think of," she answered "thanks again for the lift." She exited the car and hobbled into the lobby and took the elevator up to her apartment.

She was walking to her door, rifling through her bag to find her keys, when she looked up and saw Jay standing at the door. "Hey," she said. "Hey, how are you?" he asked. "I'm much better thanks," she answered still standing in the middle of the hall frozen. She unfroze and reached her door, she put the keys in and opened it, "Do you want to come in and talk?" "Sure," Jay said and walked in behind Erin.

They both sat down on the couch. "Look I just want to say, I love you, I never stopped loving you. I think this baby might be a sign that we should be together," Jay confessed. Erin was taken aback. "But what will Voight say, he'll be so disappointed in me," she said as tears started running down her cheeks. "Erin, please don't cry," Jay panicked. "Jay, I don't know if I'm ready for this." she cried. "Erin, I don't think anyone is ever ready for something as big as this, but whatever you want to do, I want you to know that I'll support you," he said and pulled Erin into a hug.
