A week later, Jake was ready to go to work. He was out of his sling and Boston brace and could push himself in his wheelchair.
"Good morning everyone!!!" Jake shouted happily as he entered the bullpen.
"Hey Jake, looking good!" Terry said excitedly.
"Jakey!!!" Charles said embracing Jake in a gentle hug.
"Missed you too Charles."
"Welcome back Peralta. I have some cases for you to do on your desk."
"Great to see you to Cap-I-tan!" Jake rolled over to his desk and started working.

After Jake ate lunch, he started not to feel well. Suddenly it all came rushing to him all at once. He rolled as fast as he could to the bathroom and threw up all his lunch, breakfast, and dinner from the previous night. Forty-five minutes later Holt came into the bathroom to get Jake out of the bathroom.

"Peralta get out of the bathroom! You're almost as bad as-" Jake popped out of the bathroom with sweat all over his pale face.

"I will just go back and get Amy," Holt said turning away slowly to grab Jake's girlfriend. 2 minutes later Amy strode in with confidence to try and hide her worry.

"Jake is everything ok? What's wrong?" Amy said kneeling next to Jake sitting in his wheelchair with his head on the toilet.

"I just threw up my past 20 meals"

"OK let's go home" On the way home Jake hadn't thrown up at all but still felt terrible. He had stomach pain and bloating.

"Maybe we should take you to the hospital?" Amy suggested from the driver's seat

"I'm so done with that place though," Jake said wincing and holding his stomach. Suddenly Amy took a sharp turn in the direction of the hospital.

"Amy you have got to be kidding me!"

"No Jake I'm not kidding you! You have had too many complications for me not to take this seriously!" Jake stayed silent in the back seat.

When they arrived at the emergency room a doctor almost immediately rolled Jake into a room to do an ultrasound.

the doctor was pointing things out to them and where they were and doctor-y things like that until he spotted something.

"Jacob it appears that your intestines have been tied up in a knot, possibly from repeated trauma. We have to get you in for surgery and as a precaution were are going to monitor how food moves through your stomach, ok?"

Jake nodded and Amy thanked the doctor. Jake was rolled into the operating room and Amy was left alone with her thoughts for the next hour.

When Jake came out he was smiling tiredly and loopy.

"Heyyyy Ammeeeessss."

"hey babe. How are you?"

"good."

"Ok." The doctor said, getting down to business. "Jake you will eat this banana and we will take a scan every hour.'

"k," Jake said eating the Banana.

The first half an hour felt ok but then he started getting the pain in his stomach again, and then came the throwing up. The doctor came in a took the scan. he did the once an hour for four hours.

"Amy, Jake" the doctor said nodding at them in greeting. "Jake your stomach is almost completely paralysed. This can get better over time but if it doesn't we can consider and G tube and potentially a pace maker for your stomach."

"I already have one of those for my heart! Do I really need one for my stomach?" Jake said

"You don't need it, but if you want to be able to taste food again you might want to consider it. we are going to give you a temporary feeding tube through your nose and down into your small intestine ok?" before Jake could even say ok the doctor stuck the tube down his nose.
