Halstead Imagines

Found Family

A/N: I'm back! This idea was totally random, and I just went with it. But, I hope you like it, and please remember to vote and comment!

Enjoy!

Hailey groaned as she rolled over and tried to find her phone.

"We got a case?" Jay grumbled from beside her. 

Finally, she found it and jumped out of bed when she saw the name on the screen. 

"I take that as a yes," Jay said. 

"No," she said quickly, then answered and left the room. "Y/N, is everything okay?" she asked as she made her way into the kitchen and turned on the light.

"Yes." But Hailey could hear the tremble in your voice. "No. I don't- I don't know."

"Okay, can you tell me what's going on?" Hailey asked gently like she had done when you were six years old and fell off the monkey bars at the park and she had to ask you what was hurting.

"My mom and dad are out of town for a business trip and it's my first time being home alone overnight. I thought I'd be fine, but I guess I'm not. I didn't know who else to call."

"Oh, honey," she said, using the name she used to call you when she was comforting you as a kid. "I shouldn't have to work tomorrow unless we get a big case, so do you want me to come over?"

"You'd do that?" you asked.

"Of course. I just need to pack a bag and I'll be there in, at the latest, an hour," Hailey told you.

"Okay. Thank you so much, Hailey. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Hey, best friends forever, right?" she asked, referencing the pinky promise the two of you had made when she was eighteen and you were eight.

"Best friends forever," you repeated. 

Hailey ended the call and walked back into her and Jay's bedroom and then into the bathroom to splash her face with some water and rinse her mouth with mouthwash. She'd only be sleeping there, so she didn't need to get totally ready, but she still needed to appear at least halfway put together. 

"What was that about?" Jay asked as he wrapped his arms around Hailey's waist while she swished mouthwash in her mouth.

She spit the mouthwash into the sink. "It was Y/N."

"I thought you said her and her family were in the Hamptons?"

"They got back like a week ago. And now they left on a business trip and left Y/N home and it's her first time home alone overnight and she's a little anxious, so I'm gonna go stay with her."

"Once the babysitter, always the babysitter," Jay chirped.

Hailey rolled her eyes. "Shut up."

"When do I get to meet this great kid anyway?" Jay asked and Hailey just shrugged. "How about breakfast tomorrow? Whenever you two wake up, just text me and we can meet somewhere."

"I don't know, Jay."

"Why not? You've known this girl for ten years. And, didn't you say that she said she got a say in who you married?"

Hailey laughed. Throughout their partnership--and now relationship--she had told him a few stories of her adventures when she was babysitting you. "She said that when she was like ten and I was twenty. Six years ago. I doubt she remembers it."

"Still. So, breakfast tomorrow?" he pestered. 

"I'll talk to Y/N about it."
