In My Head (Agent Severide Book 2)

Chapter 16

BAU Jet

Most of the flight back Severide spent throwing up in the toilet on the jet, especially when everyone on the team had been a part of the search and rescue groups and they ate the food because they didn't have a reason to suspect anything at the time. Severide return to the main area laying down on the couch feeling like shit, "You should really go see a doctor when we get back," Morgan said. "I called my OB back home she wants me to go for a checkup when we get back," was all the blonde said laying on the couch not having the energy to move after how much she'd thrown up. 

"Alright JJ can you let the captain know we're making a stop at O'Hare first," Hotch said as JJ went to the front of the plane to inform the captain about the plane change. "Want me to take you to Med when we land?" Morgan offered. "No, I'll message Jay," she said softly still laying there when suddenly she shot up and bolted back for the bathroom. "I'll call him," Morgan said looking back at the bathroom knowing that the blonde could be there until they landed. 

Moran pulled out his phone and called the detective's number he still had from the case they worked in Chicago with his team. The line rang a couple of times before it was answered, "Halstead, the detective said through the line. "Hey, Jay. It's Morgan" the moment he said that Jay began asking question after question. "Is Zoey okay? what's going on? what happene- Who man take it easy she's okay for the most part. She's been throwing up pretty much non-stop. She called her doctor and we should be landing at O'hare in the next... half hour." Morgan told him. "I'll be there. See you both soon" Jay said before hanging up. 

The jet didn't take long to start landing and soon Severide reemerged from the bathroom looking paler than a sheet of paper. "C'mon let's get you to lover boy, I'll be right back," Morgan said to the team that nodded as he picked up his partner's go bag and lead her off the plane. "You don't have to walk me you know," Severide said not having the energy to add sass to her words. "I know but it'll give me peace of mind," Morgan replied as he lead her through the airport and outside finding Jay and his truck almost instantly. 

The dark-haired detective ran over the moment he saw them, "Hey beautiful," he said placing a kiss on Zoey's forehead before taking the go-bag from Morgan. "Look not to be rude but I gotta get back. Let me know what the doctor says. Jay it's was nice seeing you again man" Morgan said shaking his hand before jogging back into the airport. "Let's get you to Med," Jay said noticing how pale his girlfriend was as they climbed into the truck. 

Zoey spent most of the drive trying not to throw up, but by the time Jay's truck came to a stop at med she could fight the urge and jumped out of the truck instantly throwing up on the ground before she began dry heaving. "Just make it stop," she cried as her body continued to try to throw everything up violently. 

Chicago Med

Jay helped Zoey up as he lead her into the ED as she continued to gag and dry heave. The moment the two walked in Will noticed them instantly. "Dr. Manning" The ginger called as her they made their way over to Zoey instantly bringing her into a treatment room and giving her medication to try to stop the dry heaving. 

After 10 minutes she finally stopped puking, Dr. Manning her OBGYN had set up and IV. "So on the phone you said this started while you where in Florida? was it something you ate?" Dr. Manning asked causing Severide to visibly gag and cover her mouth. 

She groaned again, "I guess you could say that," she said cringing at the bowl of soup she ate during the search and rescue. "Can you tell us what you ate over the last few days so maybe we could help?" Will said. Severide took a deep breath, we were in a search party most of the last two days of our case down in Florida looking for a missing women..." She started with a sigh the unsub we were looking for and caught he signed up for the search party not to search though but to help feed everyone looking for this woman. Turns out he was a cannibal... and when we caught him we were trying to figuring out what he did with the missing woman..." Severide said pausing. "He fed everyone at the search and rescue" she said softly trying not to throw up again as their faces went from confused to mortified. 

"I'm gonna run a blood panel and some other tests, when did- this morning," Zoey said knowing what the doctor was asking her. "Just try to take it easy, I'll be back to check on you in a bit," Dr. Manning said leaving the room with Will. Zoey laid back and let out a shaky breath as she covered her eyes with her hand and tried not to just sob. "Come here beautiful," Jay said taking a seat next to her and pulled her into a hug. "I got you Zo, it's gonna be alright," Jay said just trying to comfort her but the reality was he was disturbed by how absolutely fucked some people could be. " I got you," he said again softly as he rubbed her back. "Have I ever told you how much I hate Florida?" Zoey said causing Jay to laugh a little smirking at her. "No, but it's good to know," he said with that smirk she couldn't get enough of. 

After a few hours and a bag of fluid later Zoey was cleared from Med getting told she has to eat when she got home. "So to your place or mine?" Jay asked her once they got to his truck, "Home, we should probably tell Kelly he's gonna be an uncle. That okay with you?" she asks him as he nods. "If you think it's the right time," he said agreeing as they took off to the Severide Sibling's apartment.
