Hi Readers: What did you think of the first chapter that I wrote for you guys today? Did you like the conversation that Jay and Matt had in the elevator? Let me know what you guys thought about it, and just what Matt said to Jay. I hope that you guys liked it. But now, it's time for me to do something that I've been meaning to do since we first moved back to Hawaii; and that was give you a Halstead-oriented chapter, which will take place right now. Hope that you guys like this chapter, and the rest of the chapters I write.

It didn't take Jay long to get back to the hospital, where he belongs with his family; after all, that was where he wanted to be. He wanted to be with the woman he loves, his wife Alex; as well as their beautiful children Michael and Olivia, for their entire hospital stay. And god, he is so glad that they are now in the second half of their stay in the NICU; which most definitely is something that the both of them enjoy, especially since they are both going to get some time to enjoy some quality time with their children. And that starts right now, because Jay is back; he's back at the hospital, where they're going to be spending a bunch of time together. But first, he needs to walk past the nurses. And lucky for him, one of his children's nurses is currently at the nurse's station; and her name is Mandy Maten, whom (primarily) takes care of Michael. But that's not what matters right now, because he would rather just get into his and Alex's room right now; that way, he can be with his family. But first, maybe a quick check on them from the nurse.

Walking up to the nurse's desk, Jay smiled at Many. "Hi Mandy." Looking up at Jay, the nurse smiled. "Good evening Specialist Halstead." Jay agreed with the nurse, getting used to being addressed by his army rank, which is something that they do here at the medical center, because it's an army installation (in a way) here in Honolulu. "Has anything happened with Alex, Michael, or Olivia since I first left?" Mandy shook her head as the specialist asked whether there was anything that occurred with his children, or his wife; because that most definitely was not something that he needed to worry about, because everything was okay. "I promise Specialist Halstead, everything is okay; and everything has been okay since you left earlier this evening." Jay agreed with Mandy as he said that, smiling due to the fact that it's exactly what he wanted to hear; and now, they are ready to just go spend some time. "And has the doctor gone by since I last came here?" Mandy shook her head. "No, it's all good; and you can go relax this evening."

Jay agreed with Mandy as she told him that, glad that was the case. "Thank you so much Mandy, and I hope that you know that I really appreciate everything that you guys do here at the hospital." Mandy agreed with Jay as he said that, well aware that was the case. "Believe me, I am well aware that's the case; I hear that from every single mother and father that are on the floor, especially when they come in and out each and every day." Jay agreed with the nurse as she said that, smiling due to the fact that it was something that he was well aware of. "Good, because I'm glad that you guys are starting to get the recognition that you guys deserve; you really do a lot of good things here, and there is nowhere I would rather have my children be taken care of." Nurse Maten agreed with the veteran as he said that, smiling due to the fact that she was glad that he was pleased with the service that they were giving him here at the hospital. "Okay, well I am going to have to let you go; because I know what you really want to do right now." Jay snickered.

After which, he looked down at Max. "I think that we both know that you want to go see your family, and just take it easy this evening." Jay agreed with Mandy as she said that, as that most definitely was the truth; he wants to go to their room, and he wants to spend some time with beautiful wife and children. "Thank you so much for the service that you give to us on a daily basis, but I am going to let you go so that I can go spend some time with my family." Mandy agreed with Jay as he said that, before watching as he walked away; that way, he could make his way to the hospital room where he was staying with Alex, Michael, and Olivia. And boy, was he ready to spend some time with them; even if Alex was currently sleeping, which is what he thought she would be doing this evening. She's been so tired as of late, but he also knows that there may be a chance that she would be awake; and that's due to the fact that she doesn't like being asleep when he isn't in the hospital room with her, which she can always tell somehow.
