"Nic! Let's go you're going to be late!" Jay yelled up the stairs, he sighed and turned towards Emma who was putting away some toys. "Every morning, you think he would be more prepared." 

"Hey! I was prepared, I just couldn't figure out what shirt went with these slacks." Nic said coming down the stairs in a nice button down and pants. 

"Wowy! Someone is very fancy! Special day today?" Emma asked crossing her arms.

"Yes, today I am asking... A girl, to the dance, and I want her to know she's high class." 

"Good for you buddy." Emma said giving him a high five, Jay kissed her on the cheek.

"Bye!" She called out as they walked out the door, the door closed and Emma kept cleaning for about five minuets, before there was a knock on the door.

"What'd you forget?" Emma asked walking over to the door and opening it. "Oh!" She gasped in surprise. James was standing there shifting on his feet, he smiled. 

"Our anniversary, but that's not why I'm here. May I come in?" Emma moved over and shut the door. 

"Do you want anything? Water? Coffee?"  James sat down at the island as Emma cleaned a mug in the sink.

"I want you to come back to New York." Emma stopped cleaning and put the mug down, silence filled the air and she shut off the sink and turned around.

"What?"

"I want you to come back to New York."

"Why? What?" Emma was stunned.

"Comeback to the FBI, I'll give you your own team, a task force, whatever you want. You'll get a very nice apartment. Nic could go to school in the city. We could be a family again."

"What about Jay, and our daughter? What about my job here? His life here., his family is here. My family-"

"He'll get readjusted, or he'll stay and I'll give you a lot of vacation time to come and see him. Just take the baby. She'll love it!"  

"James, I'm not uprooting my life for you again." Emma said firmly, James sighed.

"Emma, your own task force, your own office, your own headquarters. You would run it, do things your way! Come on!" Before Emma could think her phone rang, she answered it.

"Hey, Burgess caught a weird one. Little girl walking alone, her whole family was murdered." Jay said.

"Send me the address." Emma said before hanging up the phone, "I've got to go, so..." Emma said walking over to the front door and opening it again. James got up and walked out silently before turning around to face her. 

"Just consider it, you never know what might happen." James said before Emma shut the door.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Burgess took the girl to med, they are checking her out right now." Jay said as he, Emma, and Voight walked onto the crime scene. 

"Witnesses?" Voight asked.

"Not yet, we're still working the block." Jay said.

"ID the victims?" 

"Yep, all members of the same family, the Wards, all live in this house. Makayla, the little girl, she's the only family member that survived." Emma said.

"Alright, let's keep a cap on the media as long as we can. Means no one but the techs and us." Voight said, Jay nodded and Emma followed Voight inside.

"When this case is over, I really need your help with something." She whipped to Hank, he nodded. They walked up to Adam who was standing over a dead body.

"Hey." He said. "It is absolute overkill in here. Had to be personal. This is Claudia Ward, she's the matriarch of the family. House is In her name, she's got 1 GSW to the back of the head. She was running to the front door, her killing was the cleanest of the three." They walked into the kitchen where a body was leaning against the wall, battered and bloody. "This is Benny Ward, 22, he's got bruising, defensive wounds. Looks like he got pistol whipped. His sister is over here in the kitchen." Adam lead them over into the kitchen where Kevin was taking notes over a females body.

"Gabriella Ward, Makayla's mother, one to the stomach two to the back. She bled out... slowly." 

"No signs of a robbery yet, cash was left on the table out front." Kevin said. "Purses and wallets, plain view." 

"No forced entry?" Emma asked.

"Front and back door where both unlocked." Kevin said, Voight printed to little bloody foot prints that lead through the kitchen and outside to the backyard. 

"Little girl?" He asked.

"Prints match Makayla's  shoes, we think she was inside." Adam said. "She was hiding here in the  pantry, shooter makes his way to the front, she runs out the back." Adam said, Emma sighed.

"Mom told her to run." Voight nodded in agreement, as they headed off the scene Voight pulled Emma aside back out front. 

"If you want off this case, because of the nature of it, tell me now." Emma shook her head. 

"No, it's not like mine, I don't think. I'm fine right now." Emma said, Voight nodded and they got in the car.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the bullpen Emma and Kevin pulled out the bulletin bored as Rocky came around from the back. "Med cleared the girl, no physical injures.  Burgess is with here and DCFS is on the way." 

"What do we got?" Voight asked, Emma sighed.

"Not much. Ward family, no priors except for Benny, he's got a year old possession charge." Emma said.

"I think the shooter used a suppressor. No one heard or saw anything. 0 cams."  Jay sighed, Adam appeared behind him.

"I connected with forensics, it's going to take some time. Three bodies, that's a lot of DNA." Adam said.

"Three people living in one house, that's a lot of foot traffic." Emma said. 

"Well we work the why first. Home invasion gone wrong? Family disagreement? Murder turned triple homicide? A hit?" Voight said, "A lot of possibilities  as to why and that will lead us to who." Kevin came in from the back. 

"I got a possible why. Rocky found out that Benny Ward's yearlong possession charge is not the full story. Kid's got a couple gang dispersal cards, quite the social media presence, according to CPIC and the gang unit he's been the enforcer for the Gangster Prophets for the past two years." Kevin said.

"Okay so he had enemies." Jay said.

"A lot of enemies." Rocky said holding up a file. "CPIC sent over a whole list, back and front sided, over a dozen death threats online." Rocky said.

"So wait. We think this is gang retribution, that they would do a whole family like that?" Adam asked.

"Listen, no reason is ever going to feel like enough Adam." Voight said as Emma answered the desk phone. 

"DCFS is downstairs." Emma said.

"All right, run it down. Talk to your CI's, if this was a gang hit the streets will know." Voight said, as everyone nodded and headed back to their desks Emma sat on Rockys and stared at Jay. 

"I'm so fricken lucky." She sighed before heading to her desk, Rocky rolled his eyes as he typed on his computer. 

"I'm so lucky, my name is Emma and I'm beautiful and I have a hot fiancée like please, we know." He mumbled to himself.

"Heard that!" Emma yelled at him, Rocky rolled his eyes again and kept typing. "Hey! Hey! I got something!" Emma stood up.  "I've got a CI, let's go." She put on her coat and Jay put on his.

"Be careful, she has that look in her eyes." Rocky said to Jay as they went down the stairs.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emma leaned against a brick wall as a man in a hoodie and sweats came around the corner listing to something on his headphones.

"Hey!" She said chipperly jumping in front of him.

"Ahh! Oh nah, nah!" He said backing up and removing his headphones. "You told me we where done, you went home to New York!" 

"I'm back now!" Emma said.

"Nope." The man turned around and smashed into Jay's chest, Jay just looked down at him.

"Look, I ain't stepping foot near no massacre."

"Aww! That's so preceptive of you Marv, I never even told you why I'm here." 

"It's very bad karma, you can't just go pirouetting around a whole family murdered." 

"Pirouetting?" Jay questioned.

"It's not good for the soul." Marv said, Emma took out a wad of cash.

"Hey." She waved it.

"Nahh! You can't bribe me on this one."

"Really? I can't? Huh, that's just really strange because your sister called me last week, says you broke into her place looking for cash. Scared the hell out of your niece." Emma said,

"I didn't mean to do that."

"All we need is a name, Benny was a Gangster Prophet and we know the streets are talking, so who are they saying killed his family?" Jay asked.

"Marv, when have I never asked you a question that's not worth answering for me?"

"Fine, but not for your little boy toy over here." Marv grabbed the cash. "For you. The streets are saying a Southside Hustler took them out."

"You got a name?" Jay asked, Marv ignored him.   "This guy..." Jay scoffed under his breath.

"Tru! He goes by Tru, he killed them."

"Why?" 

"Benny and Tru got into it a couple of weeks ago. Some guys broke it up, but not before Benny smashed a beer bottle into Tru's eye." Marv said. "The killings where payback, karma." Emma pulled a picture up on her phone.

"This him?"

"Yeah that's him. He hangs out at the Y courts. Plays ball there." Marv said. Emma nodded before handing him a second wad of cash.

"Call your sister and apologize." Marv nodded and headed back down the ally in one direction, Emma and Jay the other.  "Truman Powell, 27. Got two priors for assault, CPIC has him for multiple threats against Benny online and he's got an open warrant for aggravated battery."

"Works for me." Jay said.

"I like intense Jay, he's sexy." Emma said as they headed towards the car. "Why don't I get him more often?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hot Jay Halstead Take down and chase

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Truman Powell sat on the bench in the interrogation room, handcuffed to a pole as Emma and Jay stood in-front of him. 

"You've got multiple position charges, aggravated assault and battery, multiple threats against a dead man, and we ran your car Tru. You where 4 blocks away from the Ward house two hours before the killings." Tru just smiled and stared at Jay.

"What? You just wanna sit there and smile at me?" Jay asked.

 "Yes." Emma whispers to herself. "Hey!" She yelled at Tru, Jay held back a smirk at her hint of jealousy. "If I were you I'd at least give us the bare minimum. You got an Albi you wanna give us?"

"How about a lawyer, I'll call him now." Tru said, Jay and Emma sighed and left the room. Emma closed the door:

"You catch that?" Jay asked her as they walked out.

"Yeah, he know's something."

"He's good at pretending he's not scared though." Emma stopped before they got to the bullpen door. "Jay I've gotta tell you something-" 

"Hey, Rossi! That asshat with the weird accent dropped this off for you." Trudy said coming from the back, Jay looked at her in confusion as Trudy handed her a large black box.  "He said to wear it to dinner tonight where you'll accept his offer to come back to New York." She nodded and Emma pressed her lips together, Jay pulled her into the lock room where Emma put the box on a bench.

"James?" Jay asked.

"He wants me to come back to the FBI, and run my own task force. He also wants me to come back and live in the penthouse with Nic."

"The one you guys shared, when you where together?" Jay asked, Emma nodded. Jay huffed and gestured at the box with his head. "Open it."

"What?" Emma asked, she laughed.

"Open it." 

"Can we put jealous Jay back in the closet. Geez." Emma huffed. She pulled on the large purple ribbon and lifted the black lid. Inside was a navy velvet dress with a note.

"See you tonight @7, car will be picking you up.-J" 

"Oh my god." Emma gasped.

"What?" Jay said reading from over whole shoulder.

"He's trying to be you look, he used your initial." She mocked, Jay rolled his eyes and walked off into the bullpen.  "Oh come on! I thought it was funny! Wow, he think's I'm skinny, whole crap! I hope I fit into this."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Look, I don't care If Tru's not talking. He still looks good for it." Voight said coming out of his office. 

"Well ballistics came back. The bullets match an unsolved Southside Hustler shoot." Kevin said.

"It would make sense if it was a gang pass-down piece." Adam said.

"Hold Tru for 48, see if anyone can place him at the scene." Voight said. 

"Where is Kim, I haven't seen her all day?" Emma asked.  

"She's with the kid, she make any progress?" 

"Some, she brought in some of Jack and Lila's toys (I forgot what I named their little daughter so yeah). That kinda warmed the kid up, but nothing so far. Family services are going to relocate her tonight." Adam said. "She's out trying something right now." 

"Let's hit it." Adam, Voight, and Kevin headed out. As soon as they where gone Jay walked over and sat on Emma's desk.

"Yes?" She asked.

"I'm sorry. I didn't react correctly at all. You just have to understand that I love you-"

"I know, you love me and miss me and-"

"Let me finish." Jay said, Emma nodded. "Yes I'll miss you, I love you. Emma, you and I, this family we've made, that's the best thing that's happened to me in a very very long time, and the thought of losing all of that scares the crap out of me. Maisie is my daughter, Nic is my son, and you're my wife. Even though ya know, covid, got in the way at this point we are basically married. I will support whatever you decide, if you wanna go back we will. I'll get a job somewhere there, Olivia Benson, we could figure it out. I go where you do, remember?" Jay asked, Emma stood up and smiled, she got in-between his legs and gave him a long kiss. When they broke apart she smiled at him. 

"I'm so lucky, how'd I get so lucky?"

"I don't know, I should be asking myself that question."

"Good answer."  Rocky called from his desk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Little girl goes to a foster home, Kim goes with her, the house is attacked with people looking for Mackalay, the little girl. Mackalay goes home with Kim and Adam for the night.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Do we get to keep her?" Lila asked Adam as he tucked her in. 

"Honey she's not a pet." Adam said, Lila sighed.

"I know! I'm eight I'm not stupid. I miss Hanna, why is college so far!"

"Because Hanna wanted to get away from mommy and daddy, so she picked a college all the way in California. And she can't come home because of travel restrictions and because she's living in her content house or whatever. I still don't understand."

"I heard a rumor she's dating Vinnie Hacker." Lila said.

"We will talk about that tomorrow morning after I've google him." Adam kissed her on the head. 

"Daddy!" Lila called, Adam turned around before he shut the door. 

"Yeah babe?"

"I got asked to the dance today!"

"You did! By who!" He asked, panic in his voice. 

"By Nic!" 

"Thank god! Thank god!" Adam muterd to himself. "That's great, now go to sleep!" Adam shut the door as Kim came down the other end of the hall.

"I settled Mackaly into Hanna's old room, glad we turned that into a sleepover/ playroom, I'm going to stay in there tonight." Kim said, Adam nodded and kissed her on the cheek.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"What time is your dinner?" Jay asked Emma, he was in their bedroom folding clothes. 

"James postponed, he had a case run late so we are going to do it at a different time tomorrow or the next day." Emma said walking over and helping him fold.

"Oh, okay." 

"That's it. oh okay? That's your big reaction." Emma laughed.

"Yeah, yeah it is." Jay said taking the hamper and walking out of the room. 

"Well... I don't have a comeback yet! But I will later!" Emma yelled after him, her phone rang. "Yeah?"

"Hey, Krystal and I where just at dinner and I had to hear it from someone else that your taking a job in New York. How could you not tell me." David said. 

"Grandpa, what are you talking about?" Emma asked sitting on the bed.

"I bumped into James, he was getting take out. He told me your moving back with him. You can't be pulling this shit anymore, you've got a baby who needs you and a man you love. I've watched you run off time after time, don't you dare do it this time. And Do you know how I feel-"

"Grandpa-"

"Let me speak."

"Why does everyone keep telling me that!?"

"I am so offended by the fact that you didn't even tell me first. I moved to Chicago after my retirement for you, I help you with the kids everyday, and I love it, but I'm not following you around."

"Grandpa, I'm not going to say yes. At least, I haven't said yes, I don't know."

"I do, don't do it. It's the biggest mistake you'll ever make."

"Honey." Krystal said.

"No, she needs it laid on thick. You'll ruin your kids, uproot your husband, disrupt both your lives, and ruin it all just so you can have what you want. Don't be a selfish little girl, be an adult, stay where you are, keep the great job you have now, and get this guy outta your pants." The phone disconnected and Emma huffed.

"That's what I'm trying to do." She threw her phone across the room onto a small lounge chair and collapsed onto the bed. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"As we've said repeatedly my client is not answering any more questions." Tru's lawyer said to Jay and Emma.

"And as I've said, I'm not asking any questions." Jay responded. "I'm just giving him some info, we know now there was a woman inside the house so clearly we're missing something." 

"He's got nothing to say."

"Listen Truman, you are going to get booked on your warrant at the end of the day, so we don't have to release you in 48. WE can keep pressing and make this fit." Jay said.

"All right, that is enough."

"You've got motive, no Albi, you and your girl where in the area. You see how easy I can make this for you and your girl, you two go out for a joy ride, settle some scores. Than you enter the house, and slaughter everyone inside." Jay said. 

"I would never never stepped foot in that house." 

"You would never step foot in that house?" Emma asked sitting down. "Why'd you say it like that, you would never." Emma said, she opens the file and laid out all the pictures in front of Tru. "This little girl watched her mother get killed in front of her, her whole family was slaughtered in front of her. This tiny girl has to deal with those moments of violence for the rest of her life. Look at me." Tru looked at Emma. "You said you would never step foot in that house, and I'm guessing it's because of retribution. Because of Benny."

"It's not because of Benny."

"Truman I'm advising you-" He put his hand up. 

"I would never step foot in that house because of her." He pointed to Mackayla. "She's the reason why, she's protected. I go near her, I end up dead." Emma looked at Jay who got out his phone and started texting Rocky. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"All right, this is Tariq Morris. He is a notorious Southside Hustler. He is extremely violent, got twelve priors. He's feared by faction." Jay explained to the unit as Emma put pictures up on the bored. "According to Truman, Tariq is Mackalay's father." Jay said.

"So, Tariq and Gabrielle dated briefly years ago. She get's pregnant, he ends up in Statevile on a six year prison sentence. Before the baby was born, Gabrielle broke it off with him." Emma said.

"Tariq just got released?" Voight asked.

"Three days ago." Emma said. 

"Mackayla said there was a woman in the house with Tariq, calling her name saying that her father was there to pick her up." Adam said.

"They where there looking for the girl." Kevin said.

"It's been about her the whole time, they where there to kidnap her." Adam said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Next day in the bullpen back room. 

~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey." Voight said walking in, Jay walked over to him and handed him a file.

"Rocky got the visitor logs for Tariq from Statevile, so we firmed up a theory. Gabriella went to visit him once at the beginning of his sentence, never went back, never brought Mackayla." Jay said.

"I talked to a few guards, that was the list she broke up with Tariq. She took the chance to get her and her daughter away from him. Stopped answering letters and messages. Shut him out."

"He spends six years ruminating on it." Voight said.

"Right. So he get's out, goes to that house and the entire family tries to protect Mackayla, and they get killed for it." Jay said. 

"We think we ID'd the female accomplice. Nia Benson. She's a girl from the neighborhood, half a dozen arrests priors but not a single arrest. She started visiting him in prison about a year ago." Emma said.

"Phone calls, letters, hundreds of visits between the two of them. This is a full on prison romance." Jay said.

"She also has a black Nissan Pathfinder. Same SUV we found at the foster home, Rocky is running her LKA's right now." Emma said, Rocky and Adam came in.

"We got her!" Rocky said sitting down at a desk. "Patrol just responded to the BOLO you guys put out. The black Nissan Pathfinder was just seen at her sisters house in the back ally. "

"Go grab her, now." Voight said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey! Please! Can somebody tell me what's going on! This girl won't tell me anything, I don't even get why I'm in here!" Gabrielle banged on the glass as Voight opened the door. Emma was sitting on the bench and sighed. 

"All right, let me clue you in." He shut the door. "We found your SUV at the scene of an attempted  kidnapping." Voight said. "You match our descriptors for a triple homicide. You sister told us you asked for cash and a car because you wanted to skip town. Should I keep going?" 

"We searched your sisters whole complex, we found no trace of Tariq." Emma said. "So let's start there, without all the banging this time please, your giving me a headache."

"So tell us where he is, without the cute." Voight said.

"I don't know."

"Mmm-hmm."

"I don't know! It's not what you think, okay? Tariq was going crazy, he put a gun to my head." Emma looked at Voight and raised an eyebrow, he nodded. "He told me he would kill me if I didn't drive him. I never left the car." 

"That sounds terrible." Voight said. "But see the only problem is, I read your record. You've been in rooms like this before, and never been charged. So this routine works for you?" 

"Four times person of interest, three arrests, zero charges." Emma said. "The saying goes you only get away with it so many times before cops start thinking your smart." 

"Where's Tariq?"

"I don't know."

"You where supposed to pick him up."

"No! I got away from him."

"See we got your phone here, you understand that? We read your texts, we know your plan."

"No! I was lying to him! I never even knew what he was up to I swear."  Emma rolled her eyes and stood up, she was starting to get annoyed. 

"I think you two wanted a whole new life, a perfect family on the outside. Only one thing missing." Voight said.

"A baby." Emma said.

"So you two walk into his ex's girlfriends house to steal his child. And when her family tries to protect her, you murderd every one of them."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know anything." Emma groaned and looked at the ceiling. "Tariq thought his ex was a bitch, the rest is news to me. I never left the car, and I don't know where he is." 

~~~~~~~~~

Emma and Voight walked into the backroom where Jay and Adam where. 

"Please tell me you've made some progress on Tariq." Emma said.

"Zero. Transit teams, state police have been alerted, but so far nothing."

"He's hiding out, waiting for her." Emma said, "I don't get why."

"How about a lure?" Adam asked. "We got her cell, bait and switch." 

"I don't know Adam." Emma said. "The texts make it sound like they had a plan, she knew where she was picking Tariq up. If we change it now, he could know it's us."

"We need her to talk, we need to use the girl as leverage." Voight said.  "She was at the house she can ID her as an active participant. But I want no legal loopholes." Voight said. "We do a lineup, put the girl in front of it."  

"I'll let Kim know." Adam said.

~~~~~~~~~~

Mackaly and Kim walk down the hallway, Mackayla hears Nia yelling and get's scared. She won't go in so Kim carries her out.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Kid's alright, she's with Platt and a parimedic now." Adam said as he and Kim walked into the bullpen. 

"Give her a few hours and try again?" Kevin asked.

"We could just do a photo line up." Emma suggested.

"No, I'm not putting her through any of that. If it's not good for her, we don't do it." Kim said.

"Okay so than what's the play, because we have zero leads on Tariq, we've barley got a murder case and she knows it." Voight said.

"Nia doesn't know Mackaylas behind the glass or not." Kim said.

"So you wanna do a lineup anyway?" Jay said.

"Yeah, I'll lie my ass off."

"Okay just, make it airtight as you can." Voight said.

~~~~~~~~~

She talks, they get Tiriqu, Mackayla goes with a cousin for right now. 

~~~~~~~~~~

Emma walked into a fancy restaurant and sat down in a cloth booth. She stared out the window, the view was from a high-rise looking over Chicago. She was wearing a black dress that had thin straps and a leg slit. 

"I found the most New York restaurant  I could." James said coming over, he was wearing a black suit. He sat down across from her.

"You did very well." Emma sighed.

"So, what's your answer?" James asked, Emma looked at him and took his hand. 

"James, I loved you for a very long part of my life. If this was three and a half years ago, I would have said yes the second you came through my door."

"I sense the but coming on," Emma sighed. 

"But."

"There it is."

"Things are different now. I have a life, I have kids, I have a man I am completely and utterly in love with. To take the job, would be wrong." James nodded.

"That's fair." Emma got up from her seat and smiled at him. "For what it's worth, I hope he knows how lucky he is." James said.

"He does." Emma said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jay was sitting in a bar, thinking, when Emma sat down across from him.

"Hey! You look great." He said grabbing her hand, Emma blushed. "How'd it go?" Jay asked.

"I said no." Jay frowned. 

"Why?"

"Because Jay, I don't want it. It's not me. I wanna be here, with everyone, with you. I don't wanna be back in New York." Emma said to him. 

"If you said no because I-"

"I don't do anything because of you Jay." Emma cut him off, he laughed. 

"I'm aware." The waitress dropped off the check as Jay paid. Emma got up and Jay helped her put on her red leather jacket.

"So home." She said, Jay shook his head. 

"I've got something better planned, come with me." Jay grabbed her hand.

"I swear if it's 1 more child, I don't want it."

~~~~~~~~~~~ 

Jay and Emma walked into their backyard, it was pitch black. 

"What is going on?" Emma asked, all of the sudden lights flashed on reveling a white aisle with a white carpet, chairs, all leading to an alter. The unit and family sat in the seats, as Rossi and Voight stood up at the alter with Will and Rocky. "What are you all doing here?" Emma laughed, Jay stepped in front of her.

"Emma, a year ago I asked you to marry me, you said yes. We never got our wedding, but now we do." Emma smiled widely.

"I don't have a dress." She laughed.

"You do!" Rocky called out form behind her, he came down from the patio holding a garment bag. "So go get dressed, now. Jay your suit is in Rossi's house." Rocky pointed to the house next door before dragging Emma inside. 

~~~~~~~~~

30 minuets later Emma came back out in a white silk dress that went down to her ankles. It was a spaghetti strap with an open back, Nic ran over to her and handed her a bouquet of pink roses. Jay stood at the alter with Will, as Rocky took his seat.  Rossi on one side, Voight on the other.

"Hit it!" Adam said, Rocky pressed play on his phone as Cannon in D played as they walked Emma down the aisle.

"She looks so beautiful." Lila whispered to Kim, Nic winked at her as he threw flower petals. He stopped at the alter.

"Nice job buddy." Jay gave him a high five, Emma got to the alter and Jay took her hand.

"You hurt her, we will break you." Rossi said, Voight just stared at him.

"I'm aware." Everyone took their seats as Rocky had trouble pausing the music.

"Got it!" Will cleared his throat.

"Dearley beloved, we are gathered here today to wed these two in holy matrimony. Does anyone have any objections?" Will asked, everyone looked around but no one said anything. "Good. Now did you two prepare any vows?" Will asked.

"I did." Emma said, she cleared her throat and rocky handed Emma her phone. "Jay, when I met you I was a annoying, closed off, angry person who was scared and alone."

"Excuse me?" Nic said from his seat.

"It's more poetic." Emma said, Nic nodded.

"Continue."

"Anyway. I was alone, with my thoughts, even though I was not really alone. There ya go buddy." Nic laughed. "But my whole life changed when I met you. I fell so deeply in love with you, and the family we created. We had our ups like when we got together and when we got engaged, and we had our downs. Like when you got kidnapped, or when I went into labor, or when you got shot at again, or that time after that."

"All right, they get it." Jay whispered.

"Anyway. We always managed to pull through and I am so thankful for that. And I love you so much, with every bone in my body." Emma handed the phone back to Rocky.

"That was beautiful, Jay?" Will asked, Jay pulled out a piece of paper.

"Emma, when I met you you scared the crap out of me. Always throwing yourself in harms way, being a badass, your driving itself."

"Hey!" 

"But, I learned to love everything about you, including Nic. Your the best thing that's ever happened to me and the best thing that will EVER happen to me, and for that I am so thankful." He handed the paper to Rocky as Emma wiped a tear.

"That was beautiful, now the rings." Kim handed Emma a ring and Rocky handed one to Jay.

"Emma, repeat after me."

"Repeat after me." 

"I Emma."

"I Emma."

"Take you, Jay Halstead to be my lawfully wedded husband."
