Chicago

The past comes to haunt

The next morning...
Jay POV:

I woke up with a killer headache. I looked at the clock and groaned. I looked at my phone. A text from Hailey.

H: I'll meet you at the district. No time to stop home.

I just sat there. I went to the kitchen and found Brooke making coffee.

" so.." she said breaking the silence.
"So.." I said
"Jay, listen... I get it..." she said but I cut her off.
"Last night wasn't a mistake. But it wasn't supposed to happen like that. I mean..."
"Hailey." She said cutting me off.
"Yeah. Hailey."
"It's okay, Jay. I was here and she wasn't."
"It's not just that." I said
"I know. I'll see you at work." She said kissing my cheek and leaving.

A month later....
Natalie and Will are engaged. Jay and Hailey were still together.
Brooke POV:

I was late. Like that kinda late. I made an appointment before work.
"Well, Brooke. You are pregnant." Natalie said
"Oh god.." I groaned
She giggled "one night stand?"
"Yeah..."
"Anyone I know?" She asked
"Actually yeah."
"Who?" She asked getting more interested "that cute firefighter?" She asked
"Your brother in law." I said and she stopped
"Jay??"
"Yepp that's the one."
"When?!"
"A month ago."
"Oh my god. What does this mean for you guys or him and Hailey?"
"Nothing. Not yet. He doesn't even know."
" you're going to tell him right?"
" I have to, right?" I asked and she just gave me a hug. I went into work early and just sat at my desk.
"You're here early." Hank said and I didn't respond.
