Halstead sister imagines

Sick days

*Katie is 2*

Wills POV
I woke up with a start to the sound of cries echoing through the halls. I groan and roll over surprised to see 2:46 written on my clock.

I get out of bed and make my way down the hallway to Katie's room. I slowly open the door and look over at the crib to see my little sister peering back up at me whimpering now with big round puffy eyes and tear stains down her chubby cheeks.

I sigh when I see puke over her pajamas and crib.

"Hey sweetie" I say while making my way over and pushing some of her sweat stricken hair out of her eyes.

I pick her up gently and start walking down the hall banging loudly on Jay's door as I pass it while taking Katie to the bathroom.

I start the tap to run a bath for her. I just put her in when a tired and pissed off looking Jay walks in.

"What the hell Will!? It's like 3:00 I have to go to work early in the morn-"

"Katie's sick." I cut him off.

He stops his rant and looks down at our little sister sitting in the tub still sniffling. He sees her puke covered pajamas and the tear stains on Katie's cheeks and sighs.

"I'll go get her a different pair of pajamas and some water." He says before walking out of the bathroom.

I kneel down beside the tub as Katie peers up at me with new tears now cascading down her face again.

I gently wipe them away with the pad of my thumb. I start splashing water over her body and gently pouring some on her hair.

Jay comes back in just as I'm taking her out if the tub. " Take her while I go get a thermometer." I tell him while handing him Katie who's wrapped up in a big towel.

I go find our thermometer before going back to Jay who now has Katie dressed, and snuggled into his body.

"Sweetie you gotta open your mouth." I try persuade her after she refuses.

She shakes her head again before hiding her head in Jay's neck.

I sigh. After alot more persuading she finally opens. The thermometer beeps and I take it out seeing 101.

"She's got a fever." I say with a sigh while running my hand over my head.

Katie starts crying again. Jay tries comforting her by bouncing her up and down in his arms and running his fingers through her hair. Apparently it worked because soon her cries died down and she fell asleep in Jay's arms.

We both sigh in relief. "She can't sleep in her bed, the sheets are covered in puke as well. I'll have to wash them in the morning but right now she has to stay in one of our rooms." I say to Jay.

"She can stay in mine." Jay says.

I nod and we both head to our bedrooms.

Jay's POV

I woke up to my alarm ringing loudly in my ears and groan. I turn it off and see Katie sleeping on my chest. At first I'm confused at how she got here but then I remember the events from last night.

I try maneuver myself around without waking her up but fail. She squirms around a little before opening her eyes.

She looks up at me with big round eyes. "Jay Jay" she attempts to say.

I smile a little bit. "Morning munchkin." I say before kissing her temple. I pick her up carefully before walking out of my room to take her temperature again.  This time it reads 99. Thankfully it went down a little over the night.

I can't bring her to the babysitter with a fever. I also can't take her to work. I sigh before grabbing my phone and dialing Voights number.

"Voight" he asnwers.

"Hey sarge.. I don't think I can come into work today, Katie got sick last night and has a fever. I can't bring her to the babysitters while she's sick and Will has a shift today." I say.

"Halstead, take the day off and look after your sister." He says.

"Thanks sarge!" I say before hanging up.

"Alright munchkin, it's just you and I today." I say with a small smile.

She looks up at me and giggles before poking my nose and clapping her hands.

I laugh a little before walking over to the couch and putting on frozen for Katie to watch while I make breakfast.

I look over into the livingroom to keep an eye on her and see her completely focused on the screen. I chuckle to myself and finish making breakfast.

I go over to the couch and slowly feed her little bits.

When it's done I pick her up and set her on my lap as we cuddle and finish watching the movie.

That's how we spent our entire day. Sitting in the couch cuddling while watching Disney movies.  Katie puked one more time but that was it.

The next morning she was back to her energetic little self.
