《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.

It’s not until a blossoming friendship is born after years of isolation that he must do everything he can to protect those who he has betrayed, and face his complicated past as dangerous circumstances rise in war torn Plod. ————————— This fiction is rated R. Nudity is present. Violence, profanity, trauma, suicide, mental illness, and disturbing elements are prevalent. Gore is described in graphic detail that may be disturbing. The story is very, very depressing. Do not read if you are sensitive by heavy subject matter, including themes of suicide. It is a tragedy, which means that it has dark and disturbing psychological content that is intended for a mature audience. Do not read the whole thing in one sitting, as it may be emotionally draining. Read in small sections. Do not read if you like happy, light novels. Read at your own risk. Haitian Creole and Jamaican Patois will be sprinkled in rarely from time to time. The opinions and thoughts of the characters are not mine. If you are sensitive to traumatic content, please do not read. Do not read if you are sensitive to mental illness, genocide, graphic violence, or the reality of war. I ask that while you critique this story, you do it in a respectful way. If anyone harrasses me/ tries to discourage me from writing, I will report you. All feedback, critique and suggestions are welcome; feel free to comment. I am trying to grow and improve my writing, so constructive criticism behind advanced negative reviews are appreciated. Due to the fact that I am a college student and working part time , some chapters may come a little later than usual. If anyone writes reviews that don’t have anything to help me improve the story and attack me, the author, for choosing to write about these dark themes, kindly please leave, because they should not even be reading, let alone be anywhere near anyone's fictions. I am also interested in any ideas people may have for the drafting process. In other words, if you want to tear apart my story, do it properly, please. Negative reviews that respectfully point out any plot holes, inconsistencies with my characters, or writing style are well appreciated. Anyone attacking me personally will be reported and blocked, especially as the fiction gets longer. I do not need negativity or harassment. For those who take the time out of their day to read and offer helpful feedback, I truly appreciate you all, and you are the best. You have been warned. Read at your own risk. Thank you.
