Six months later
Jay slowly pressed the print button on the computer screen and Sheldon Jin looked over his computer screen; ''I could get them for you.'' He offered as Jay had been getting the papers a few times today and he looked tired, but Jay shook his head and put his wheelchair back and got his feet of the footrests, pulling himself up, supporting himself on the desk as he slowly walked past his desk, knew he had to tide over the few feet to the printer unsupported and quick he made the stumbling, limp steps to the printer, but he made it. He walked to his desk and sat down in the wheelchair again.
''My legs can't think they are allowed to get lazy.'' Jay said as he looked through the papers and held the mug shot up; ''Look at this handsome fella.'' He said as a joke to Sheldon as he held the picture of the really ugly man up and Jin smirked. ''Lunch break, Jay.'' He said then as he got up and Jay nodded, laid the papers on his desk when the printer suddenly printed the files he had just gotten again and he got up again, tell it would be the last walk for a few hours, as his legs were starting to shake already and he didn't want to get pain in his legs again now the feeling had returned. He made the steps and back when suddenly halfway somebody raised his low hanging jeans.
''Walking tends to be easier if you don't have a jeans hanging between your knees.'' Erin said and Jay smiled, continued the last few steps to the wheelchair and sat down again, looking at Erin with a smile. He laid his hand on the baby bump, feeling the tiny kick of their little one and he kissed Erin as Jin was not in the office. She stood upright again and laid her hand under the large baby bump.
''One more week, luckily, can't take it much longer.''
''but 28 weeks...''
''Babe, one more week of work.'' She said with a wink and Jay nodded, felling stupid. They left the office he was working Jin and went to the cafeteria as none of them felt like going to the bistro they usually had lunch as it was pretty cold and it was a far walk for Erin now and Jay put the tray on his lap as they choose their foods and as she pushed the wheelchair he grabbed all the things they usually got and they had gotten pretty used to this, as it was a really handy for the both of them as Erin didn't have to carry her tray, which got harder and harder with the big baby bump and they paid and got the table they usually sat and Jay put the chair that was by the table aside, some of the newest rookies looking at him.
''What? This one is more comfortable.'' He stated dryly about his own chair and Erin looked at him with a smile as he put the tray down. Luckily he had accepted the wheelchair and even had started joking about it every now and then, to make the situation less heavy.
''You know, when you are done with being comfortable you should start with the baby room. You promised three months ago, Jay! I told you don't have to do it yourself but at least call somebody to do it.'' She said then as she got upset as the baby room was still an empty, stripped room in their new apartment and she knew she couldn't expect Jay to paint the walls he had promised he would take care of it. She knew he wouldn't be able to pain the walls, but he hadn't done anything about the room in three months...what if he was getting second thoughts again? When she had told him that she was pregnant, he was not happy at all and it had almost tore them apart as he didn't want to talk about it, but finally he had admitted he thought he was going to be a bad father. That he wouldn't be able to take care of the baby because of his brain damage and it had hurt Erin, not just because of his reaction but also because he thought this about himself. He was way stronger that that and he could take care of their baby, she was sure.
''I am...sorry. I just...I want to do it myself so I waited, hoping I can do it...but..'' Jay said as his face started to get red and suddenly ntonio joined the table.
''I hear the trouble, i might know a guy that is going to get the baby room all ready for you.''
Antonio gave him the number of his brother in law and Jay nodded, left for the bathroom then. Moving inside the stall he emptied to the bag around his leg as he still hadn't gotten enough feeling back for having control over his bladder, but it was getting better. Some other officers were talking and he felt embarrassed, waiting for them to go away before he left the stall. He tried not to feel embarrassed for the things he needed to take care of himself but it just happened. He left the stall and went to sink and watched in the mirror. Finally he felt he was returning to his own self, his smart ass comments, his relationship with Erin with them outsmarting each other.
Erin was waiting for him on the hallway and handed him a coffee, for the office and he nodded gratefully and put his between his legs so he had his hands free to wheel.
''Jay, look out, you could burn yourself!'' She said worried as she grabbed the cup and he looked up.
''It's okay.''
''NO it is not. It is burning hot coffee.'' She said worried and he understood that he didnt notice that the coffee was so hot as the feeling was not completely back in his legs at all. She walked to the office with him and put it down on his desk and she barely left when Laura appeared by the door.
''Jay? can I borrow you for a minute.''
Jay nodded and wheeled to the door, wheeled next to Laura as she moved. Laura kept walking slower and slower and Jay stopped. ''You know, you don't have to go slower, I go faster than you walk.''
Laura turned red and Kim joined them.
''We want to arrange a babyshower for Erin. But we need your help with that and we want to do a theme party. BUt for that, we have to know if it is going to be pink or blue.'' Kim smiled but Jay shook his head.
''I don't know the gender.'' Jay lied. ''I can tell you some dates she will be gone to baby gym in the morning and you can get the apartment all ready and surprise her.''
Laura and Kim smiled happy and Jay checked his phone and gave them some dates.
''Just, please tell me dates so I am sure I am going to be out that day so I wont be stuck in giggling and baby talk.'' Jay joked and he went back to the office he worked with Jin now. About a month after the accident furing th emarathon he had started there as he couldn't work in intelligence anymore, not just because he couldn't get up thte stairs there, but he also though it was better if he didn't work on completely the same department as Erin anymore, especially after the tension about the baby. Luckily that all was resolved now, although he was still scared and had his worries...what if he would mess up with taking care for the baby? He still had to ask Jin for help every now and then if he forgot things.
After work he and Erin went home to the new apartment. They only moved in three months ago, it was the one Erin had seen on the internet immediately and it was adjusted for a big part and the doorways were wide enough and Jay really liked it there with here, as it was finally the place for them together.
Later that evening Jay looked through the baby room and looked at the walls. Erin wanted the wall to be yellow and blue, with little duckies above the plint. They needed a crib that was had a rail that could slide down, so he could put her to bed too. They needed a changed table on a level that was high enough so he could sit by it with his wheelchair, but it would mean he could care for their baby too.
''What are you thinking about?'' Erin asked as she walked into the room and laid her arms around his neck and kissed him in his neck.
''I was thinking about everything that we have to put in here. It's going to be amazing.'' He said as he took her hands with his and led her around the chair and pulled her on his lap, kissing her. She smiled as his hands were going over the baby bump and she caressed his face.
''You know, the most special in this room, is going to be here in twelve weeks'' She said then and Jay nodded, felt as their little miracle kicked again.
NOTE: Jay and Erin are still together and probably better than ever. Jay is slowly improving and the baby was almost there! Will Erin get a baby shower? Will the baby room get ready and will they finally get ready to be parents and will Jay overcome his fears?
