Jay's Secret

31: Not Eating

Mouse

It's been a few weeks since Alvin's funeral and to say things have gone downhill for Jay would be an understatement. He only drinks bottles when he's little and barely eats when he's big. On top of that the grieving time for losing Alvin has been next to none because of the nonstop cases we've gotten which also means that Jay hasn't been little in a while.

"Ok lunchtime," Kim says out of nowhere

Everyone puts in their lunch orders, but Jay and I give Kim a look. She sighs and orders something she knows he'll eat. It takes 30 minutes for the door dash order to arrive.

"Voight, can I go eat in Mouse's office?" Jay asks

"Sure kid," Voight responds

I help Jay get his food and we go to the tech office. I allow Jay to sit on my lap as he nibbles at his chicken nuggets. 

"I'm done," Jay says after 2 bites

"No sir you are not, you're going to eat all of your food even if I have to force-feed you," I tell him

Oh if looks could kill I'd be dead. Jay starts sniffling and goes back to the bullpen. I hear Voight say something and go to see what's happening. 

"Jay if you don't start eating, we're gonna have to take you to the hospital," Adam says gently

Naturally, at that moment, Jay passes out as Adam catches him. 

"Well there's our answer," Voight says

"I'll go get the car," I tell everyone

Jay's awake by the time we get to the hospital and we're lucky enough to get Will and Maggie. He gets a stern talking to and get's admitted overnight for observation which in turn makes him freak out even more.

"I'll start eating, I promise just please don't make me stay here," Jay begs Will

"Jay I can't release you until you've eaten 3 solid meals without throwing them back up," Will explains

Jay curls into the bed and pouts. 

"Mouse can stay until your released though, I can bend the visiting hours for you two," Will smiles

I sit next to him on the bed and rub his back, this is not gonna be a good night.
