Hailey Upton daughter (Chicago pd fanfic)

New life

A day had passed since that frantic rush to the hospital. Julia was still recuperating from her injuries, and Hailey was ever-vigilant by her side, her worry a constant companion. The hospital room was filled with the beeping of machines and the soft murmur of nurses and doctors attending to their rounds.

It was mid-afternoon when a knock on the door interrupted the silence. Dr. Natalie Manning walked in, her expression serious but kind.

"Hailey, Julia," she began, glancing between them. "We need to talk about some additional results from Julia's blood tests."

Hailey's heart skipped a beat. "What is it, Dr. Manning?"

Natalie pulled up a chair and sat down, her demeanor calm but concerned. "We ran some routine tests when Julia was brought in. One of those tests showed elevated hormone levels, so we conducted further tests to be sure. Julia, you're pregnant. And based on the levels, it appears you're having twins."

Julia's eyes widened in shock, her hand instinctively moving to her belly. "Pregnant? Twins?" She looked at Hailey, her expression a mixture of fear and disbelief.

Hailey reached out, taking Julia's hand in hers. "It's going to be okay, Julia. We're going to get through this together."

Dr. Manning nodded. "You're very young, Julia, and this will be a challenging journey. But with the right support and care, you and your babies can be healthy."

Tears welled up in Julia's eyes. "I don't know if I can do this, Hailey. I'm just a kid myself."

Hailey's heart ached for her sister. "You don't have to do it alone. We'll figure this out together, one step at a time. I'm here for you, always."

Dr. Manning gave them both a reassuring smile. "We'll monitor you closely, Julia, and ensure you get the best possible care. Do you have any questions right now?"

Julia shook her head, still processing the news. "I just... I need some time to think."

"Of course," Dr. Manning said gently. "Take all the time you need. We'll be here for you."

As the doctor left, the weight of the situation settled over them. Hailey held Julia's hand tightly, her mind racing with plans and concerns.

That evening, as the reality of Julia's pregnancy began to sink in, they talked about what lay ahead. Hailey knew they had a long and difficult road in front of them, but she was determined to support her sister every step of the way.

The next few days were filled with a whirlwind of doctor appointments, consultations, and planning. Hailey took time off work to be with Julia, knowing how critical her support was during this fragile time.

One afternoon, as they sat in the hospital room, Julia turned to Hailey, her eyes filled with uncertainty. "What are we going to do, Hailey? How am I going to raise two babies?"

Hailey took a deep breath, searching for the right words. "We take it one day at a time. We have a great support system with the team, and I'll be with you every step of the way. We can do this, Julia. Together."

Julia nodded, though the fear in her eyes hadn't entirely disappeared. "I'm scared, Hailey. But I'm glad you're here with me."

"I'm not going anywhere," Hailey promised. "We'll get through this. And we'll make sure those babies are loved and cared for."

As the days turned into weeks, the hospital became a second home for them. The team visited frequently, bringing words of encouragement and small comforts to ease Julia's anxiety. Kim Burgess, in particular, became a constant presence, sharing her own experiences and offering invaluable advice.

One evening, as they sat in the quiet hospital room, Julia looked at Hailey with tears in her eyes. "What if... what if Dad tries to take them away from me? What if he gets custody?"

Hailey's expression hardened. "He won't. We'll fight him with everything we have. I promise you, Julia, those babies will stay with us. He won't hurt you or them."

Julia leaned into Hailey, drawing strength from her sister's determination. "Thank you, Hailey. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"You'll never have to find out," Hailey whispered, holding her sister close.

The weeks turned into months, and Julia's belly grew with the lives developing inside her. The doctors monitored her closely, ensuring she received the best possible care.

Finally, the day arrived. Julia went into labor earlier than expected, and the hospital buzzed with activity. Hailey was right by her side, holding her hand through every contraction, every moment of pain and fear.

After hours of labor, the cries of two newborns filled the room. Julia sobbed with relief and joy as the doctors placed her tiny, perfect babies in her arms. Two girls, their eyes wide and curious as they gazed up at their mother.

Hailey watched with tears streaming down her face, overwhelmed with love and pride. "They're beautiful, Julia."

Julia looked up at her sister, her eyes filled with gratitude. "We did it, Hailey. We really did it."

As the days passed, they settled into their new roles as a family. Hailey was there for every feeding, every sleepless night, and every precious moment. The team rallied around them, providing a network of support and love. Kim Burgess was named Ivy's godmother, with Kevin Atwater as her godfather, while Trudy Platt and Adam Ruzek became godparents to Zara.

One evening, as Hailey rocked one of the baby girls to sleep, Julia sat beside her, cradling the other. "I never thought I'd be able to do this," Julia admitted, her voice soft. "But with you here, I know we can get through anything."

Hailey smiled, her heart full. "We've come a long way, Julia. And we're going to keep moving forward. Together."

Julia nodded, a look of contentment on her face. "Together."

As they sat there, surrounded by the quiet sounds of their sleeping babies, Hailey felt a deep sense of gratitude. Despite the hardships and the pain, they had found their way to a place of love and hope. The future was uncertain, but with each other and their new family, they were ready to face whatever came next.
