"Where is he!?" Halston jumps in my arms

"He's right here" Val says caressing my cheek

"Jay is our daddy?" Kai questions

"Yes honey. He's been with us this whole time" Val smiles

"I knew it! No wonder why you had the same name as my daddy" Halston says wrapping her arms around me

"Welcome back daddy" Kai says jumping out of Val's arms and into mines embracing me as well

"We're a family now?" Halston asks

"Yes. We're a family now" Val says hugging us all

"Thank you for everything" I said

Val's POV

The kids now know that Jay is their father. Everything just seems so right at the moment. We're finally a family now.

We decided to just lay low and hang around today. Letting the kids enjoying their time with their dad. Jay's outside by the pool with them while I prepped the food for the grill.

"Hey babe are you all set?" Jay asks coming in

"Yeah. Could you help me bring these plates out?" I asked as I carried two in my hand

Jay grabbed the other two plates and we both headed out to the grill. Jay begins grilling the food right away as I hang with the kids.

"Mama watch this!" Kai says before spinning into the pool

"My turn!" Halston follows

"Careful you two" I call out

"They're wild just like you" Jay says

"Kai is literally your twin" I laughed

"You think so?"

"Oh 100%. He has the same personality as you"

"I mean, he is my kid after all"

"Mama I'm hungry!" Halston calls out

"Foods almost ready! How about you two dry off and come over here and take a seat for a bit" I say

The kids both got out of the pool and then made their way over to the table. Both sitting patiently and watching their dad grill in admiration.

"Are you okay mama?" Halston asks

"Yes honey why wouldn't I be?" I smiled

"You're bleeding from your cut" she says

That was when I noticed there was blood running down my face. It must've bled through the stitches.

"Let me go get the aid kit" Jay says

"Don't worry. I'll go. Stay here and finish grilling the food. I'll be right back" I say before going inside

I grab the aid kit from the cabinet then went into the bathroom. I remove the soaked bandaid and cleaned the stitches and area. It stung like a bitch. I bandaged it up went back outside. Right as I was about to shut the sliding door, the doorbell rang. I went back in and went to open the front door. It was Matt.

"Hey Matt. What's up?" I asked

"May I come in? I have something important to tell you" Matt says

"Yeah of course. Come in" I said stepping aside

"Where's the kids?"

"They're by the pool with Jay"

"I need it talk to you both. I'll head out there with you"

We both headed out to the back where Jay and the kids were.

"Hey Matt, long time no see" Jay says shaking Matt's hand

"Uncle Matt!" said the kids running to him

"Hey guys" Matt says

"What brings you here?" Jay asks

"I have some news" Matt says

"It must be important" I chuckled

"Alex was released on bail" Matt says sternly

That was when my heart sank to my stomach. Everything was spinning at the moment.

"You said what now!?!" Jay says angrily

"I overheard Erin and Voight's conversation. They don't know who bailed him out but it was paid in cash full" Matt says

"Why haven't they told me anything?" Jay says

"They're on their way over now" Matt says

"I...I..." I muttered before collapsing onto the ground

-3 hours later-

I wake up in my bed. It was pitch dark out. I hear voices coming from downstairs. As I try to get up, there was this pounding sensation going through my head. As I move slowly off the bed, the door opens and it was Jay.

"Hey hey hey, don't go anywhere. Stay here" Jay rushes over

"Who's here?" I asked

"It's the team. They're downstairs"

"Where are the kids?"

"They're sound asleep"

"Jay..."

"I know. You don't have to say it. Don't worry to much. We will figure this out together. I promise"

I lay back down and shut my eyes without saying a word. I could hear him sighing in frustration before leaving before leaving the room.

Jay's POV

I head back downstairs to the team. We have been trying to locate Alex the whole night but there has been nothing. We traced camera footage from every street corner and nothing has showed up. Whoever bailed him out knew what they were doing.

"Still nothing?"  I asked in frustration

"We will catch him" Voight says

"I'm gonna rip him a new one. I can't promise you that I won't be following the book. Whatever happens will happen" I say

"I agree. I'm with you" Adam says
