Food Poisoning

(I got a request for Hailey and Jay both having food poisoning and another one for Hailey having food poisoning from both ends, so I have combined the two! Set a few weeks after they got together in season 8)

"What do you want for lunch?" Hailey asked while she and Jay were driving to talk to a witness.

"Ummm, there's a new Thai place not far from here, do you want to try that?" He suggested.

"Sure," Hailey smiled as they pulled up to the house.

They talked to the witness then went and got lunch. It wasn't the best Thai food they'd had, but it wasn't bad.

Two hours later, Jay's stomach started cramping and he got really hot. Hailey noticed his change in demeanor and tilted her head to the side.

"Jay, you okay?" She asked, seeing how pale he'd become.

"Fine," he brushed her off and she rolled her eyes. She didn't believe him for a second, but she knew he wouldn't admit anything until it was his idea and no one elses.

She went back to filling out her report for the case, which they'd closed twenty minutes prior, but kept an eye on her boyfriend. As time passed, Jay only seemed to get more pale and started to sweat. Hailey didn't say anything until he sighed, rubbed his stomach, and took a sip of water.

"Jay, what's wrong?" She asked.

"Food's just not agreeing with me, it's fine," he said with a grimace.

"Are you sure?" She raised an eyebrow and gave him a look.

"Hailey," he groaned, stopping her questions.

She put her hands up in surrender and went back to work. Jay tried to keep working, but it was so damn hot in the bullpen and his stomach was absolutely killing him. He told himself he was fine, but then his stomach clenched and he felt his mouth start watering.

Hailey was startled when Jay jumpup from his desk and sprinted down the hall. She watched in shock then looked behind her, sharing a confused look with her coworkers before she got up and followed him.

Jay was hunched over the toilet in the locker room, heaving violently as his lunch came up. Hailey frowned and knelt down behind him and started rubbing his back.

"Let it out Jay, you're okay. Shhh, it's okay," she said over and over until he finished, flushed the toilet, and collapsed back against her.

His eyes were closed but tears still slipped down his cheeks and he whimpered. "Jay, it's okay, shhh. I know it sucks, but it'll be okay. Can you get up or do you need to stay here?" She asked, running a hand across his forehead. He didn't feel feverish.

"Stay," he breathed before shooting back over the toilet and getting sick again. Hailey rubbed his back and talked him through it until he finished and turned to put his head on her shoulder. He felt like hell.

"Jay, let's go sit on a bench, I'm gonna grab a water and some ibuprofen," she said, rubbing his back.

He nodded and stood with her help, and that was when Hailey noticed she didn't feel super great either. She got him to the bench then got a water and medicine from her locker. She took some as well then gave Jay his and sat beside him.

"I'm going to go tell Voight we need to leave, I'll be right back," he nodded and put his head in his hands.

Hailey went upstairs and saw the team's questioning looks. "I think it's food poisoning," she explained as she walked into Hank's office.

"What's up?" He asked.

"I need to take Jay home, he's in the locker room puking. I think it's food poisoning, I don't feel so great either," she told their boss.
