Warning- talk about throwing up (not in detail)

A few days ago Jay was sick. He woke up in the middle of the night and had to run to the bathroom to throw up. That was not a fun night, every hour he had to go into the bathroom. We only have a small one bedroom house so I was kept up all night, then having to go to work the following day, nearly falling asleep at my desk. Turns out Will treated a little girl a few days ago with a sickness bug giving said bug to Jay.
The following day, when Jay was better, I wake up feeling a little off. Not quite sick, but off. I look over and see Jays side of the bed empty. Slowly I get out of bed and go to the bathroom to have a shower and get ready for the day.
I leave the bedroom once ready and head downstairs to the living room
"Morning you want a coffee?" Jay shouts to me from the kitchen
"No I'm good" I say back as I walk into the kitchen. Jay turns around and his smile turns into a frown
"You ok? You look pale"
"I don't feel great but I'll be ok, probably a cold coming"
"You sure it's not the bug I had?"
"It doesn't feel like it. Think I'm alright"
"Ok but if you you feel worse while at work you tell Voight"
"Of course" I give him a smile. Jay finishes making his drink and putting it in a flask to take with him to work.

We both arrive at the precinct, I get situated at my desk and as the hours go by I feel worse and worse until I have to dash to the loo to throw up
"YN?" I hear Erin coming in
"I'm fine"
"Yeah I'm sure" I flush the loo, open up the cubicle and go wash my hands
"Is this a bug sick or a congratulations sick" Erin smiles at me
"The first one. I think it's bug"
"So go home"
"I will. Just need to speak to Voight"
"I'll tell him. Go and tell Jay to take you home"
"Thanks" I give Erin a smile and we leave the bathroom. She goes to speak to Voight while I go to speak ti Jay
"Hey babe, can you take me home?" I ask him. Jay looks up at me with sympathy
"Grab your coat" he says getting up from his desk. I walk to mine and put my coat on.

"Jay I'm fine. Go back to work" I tell my boyfriend once I'm in bed
"Are you sure? I can ring Voight and tell him..."
"No. Go. Babe the worst that going to happen is I throw up again. I can handle that on my own. If I need you I'll ring you"
"Promise?" Jay places a bucket next the bed for me
"I promise now go" I tell Jay who reluctantly leaves. I decide the best thing to do was to fall asleep, which was easier said than done. Just like Jay every hour or so I throw up until I do finally fall asleep.
Before I know it I'm woken up by Jay entering the bedroom
"Sorry, didn't mean to wake you"
"It's ok. What time is it?"
"6. How do you feel?" Jay asks taking his shirt off
"Better" I yawn
"Well turns out it's going round the precinct. Ruzek was sent home as well"
"Hopefully no one else gets it" I say sighing
"Im going to have a quick shower, then I'll run you a hot bath"
"Thanks"
Jay being the best boyfriend ever did just that. He also heated up some soup, which I managed to keep down. The following day I woke ip feeling a hell of a lot better, but Voight wanted me to stay home for one more day just to make sure I'm definitely better before going back to work. Unfortunately the sickness bug goes around the precinct and then ends up going round the firehouse thanks to Trudy. Hopefully the bug is gone and we don't get it again... we will at some point but hopefully not for a while.
