Over two years have passed since Liz Severide moved to New York City. When she left Chicago with the promise to come back one day, she took a secret with her that would change Jay Halstead's life if he ever found out. When she hears about Jay's life-threatening injury, Liz returns to Chicago with their son Ryan. Obviously, nothing is the same, and things are bound to get more complicated. Will their love be enough for Liz and Jay to make it through, and to finally be a family? ---- Note: This is the sequel to my Jay Halstead / One Chicago story 'explosion'. Of course, you're free to read this book without having read 'explosion' before, but it will definitely make more sense if you read 'explosion' first... This is the very first version and as usual, I'll majorly edit the whole book once it's done, so be kind. All rights reserved, have fun reading! I'd love to hear your opinions, so please comment or vote if you like... Apart from the One Chicago characters / cast, this story is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to other real persons, living or dead, or to other stories is purely coincidental.
