《Reason to this madness (Jay Halstead x reader)》10 years later (32)
Advertisement
I was in the kitchen prepping everything for the barbecue this afternoon when I heard giggling from the living room and footsteps approaching me. I stifled a laugh and continued cooking like I didn't know what was about to happen.
"1,2,3." I heard Jay whispered behind me before he and our son jump scared me.
"Ahhh!" I clutched my heart and pretended to be scared as I watched the three most important people of my life giggling away.
I took Bella from Jay's arms. "Ok, now you mister go get Noah changed for the barbecue." I gave Jay a kiss. "I'll finish up here and then I'll get Bella dressed."
We then heard a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" Noah ran to the door. Jay ran after him.
I turned off the stove and made my way to the door with Bella in my arms. I saw Jay greeting Gabby and Casey. They saw me and came to hug me too.
"Hi Bella, come here big girl." Gabby extended her arms for Bella.
"Can you get her dressed, please? I set her dress on her bed." I asked Gabby.
"Of course I can, I would be a terrible godmother if I didn't wouldn't I?" Gabby baby talked to Bella while she headed upstairs.
I then turned and saw Casey and Noah running around the house. "Uncle Matt come see my new fire truck." Noah dragged Casey upstairs.
"Sorry dude, you're now officially in charge of getting him dressed." Jay shrugged. I playfully slapped Jay's arm.
I was gonna walk back to the kitchen but he wrapped his arm around me and dragged me back towards him. "Do you know I love you a lot?" Jay whispered in my ear.

"Some would say that's why you married me and you had 2 kids with me," I smirked at him.
"Ah, those little rascals? No way they're mine." Jay put his hands up defensively, teasing me.
"Oh yeah, I totally forgot about that other guy I've been sleeping with for the past six and a half years...." I teased back.
"Don't you dare!" Jay started running after me to the kitchen.
"Ok stop!" I yelled after I was out of breath. "You know you're the only guy for me." I walked up to Jay giving him a kiss.
"I better be." Jay laughed.
"We need to get this food out before everyone else gets here c, mon." I pointed at the food all over the kitchen.

Only an hour later our garden was filled with our friends/family. Noah was never bored when everyone was around since he had endless aunts and uncles to bother. Bella was also used to being passed around by everyone until she would eventually fall asleep in someone's arms and Jay would end up taking her back.
By evening all the kids were asleep in their rooms and only the adults were left outside. Some of the guys managed to get a fire going in our outdoor fireplace.
"Just like old times," Kelly said as he took a sip from his beer.
"I can't believe we're getting old." Kim pouted as she leaned back into Adams's arms holding her pregnant belly.
"Hey!" Mouch and Hermann yelled offended at the comment making everyone laugh.
"I think the best decision I've ever made was moving to Chicago," I told everyone. "I don't know where I would be if I hadn't come here."
"Sad and depressed honey, sad and depressed," Shay whispered making me laugh.

"I guess there really was a reason for all that madness in the beginning wasn't there?" Otis questioned.
"I guess there really was." Jay and I said in unison as we stared into each other's eyes.

I hope you guys enjoyed it! If you guys would be interested in me writing another One Chicago story please let me know.
P.S. I'm sorry the ending was a bit rushed but I'm going away for a while soon and I lose inspiration if I don't continually write so I wanted to finish up as fast as I could before going.

Beyond the Bridge
There are many worlds, many multiverses, and you can move between them via the Federation's Bridge network - magical gateways to other worlds. The world dubbed "C'thon" by its inhabitants - or Gamma-Theta-Nu-649, if you ask the Federation's bureaucracy - was deserted when the Federation found it. The "civilized" races had all died out centuries prior, and the wilderness had grown downright feral in their absence. Now, the lonely Federation outpost of Bridgetown is under constant threat from the hungry wildlife, malicious fey, territorial goblins, and wandering undead that surround it. The town's distance from the Federation's centers of power means that it gets precious few of the resources that it needs to stay safe and afloat. Enter the Guild of Adventurers, a plucky and disparate crew who do the Federation's dirty work in exchange for coin. One team, the first of many, crosses the Bridge to C'thon looking for fame, fortune, and (if they're lucky) the answer to a newly-discovered Prophecy. They'll get much more than they bargained for, although first they need to avoid being eaten by the local wildlife. Updates weekly on Wednesday. Chapters will be as long as they need to be for them to work, which means they can vary. If anything drops below 2500 words, I'll post an extra chapter if I have one ready. [PS: This is not a litRPG, but I do borrow heavily from TTRPGs for inspiration, and the general setting and storyline is from a TTRPG campaign I'm running.] [PPS: This is my first attempt at writing long-form fiction. I'm not trying to make a great piece of literature or have a multi-novel overarching plot, but hopefully it'll still be a fun story - let me know what you think in the comments.] [PPPS: Cover image is from a free-download wallpaper by Tyler Edlin; I do not own it, and will take it down immediately if requested.]
