Hey everyone! I've been away for a while, but I'm back and excited to start sharing stories again in my free time. I hope you enjoy this fic! I've recently started watching Grimm, and even though I'm only on season one episode six, Nick has become one of my favorite characters. I couldn't resist the idea of putting him in a tough spot, so get ready for some hurt or sick Nick! I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments and don't forget to vote if you enjoy the stories I'm putting out. Thanks for your support! Nico *******************************************

Nick and Hank had finished a very successful case but it had ended in a shoot-out, While everyone else had walked away unhurt Nick was the only one who had gotten hit. He didn't want anyone to worry so he kept it a secret, For days on end, he was changing bandages and downing pain meds but little was helping. "Take some time to rest and heal, please?!" Juliette begged one day after seeing the wound and how bad it was looking. " I'm fine, I've dealt with worse." Nick tried to reassure her. He didn't need anyone else to worry about him, once arriving at the station he was slightly limping toward his desk of course his best friend and partner Hank noticed immediately "You dude you ok? You're limping and you never do that after a case no matter how hurt you get." Hank questioned his best friend, it concerned him the way his friend was acting. "Yeah, I'm fine. When have I not been fine?" Nick asked giving a smile that didn't reach his eyes, Hank noticed the normally full-of-life bright blue eyes were a dull grey color and glazed over with what looked like the start of a fever. " do you want me to answer that? Especially when you were in the hospital a little over a year ago?" Hank smirked when he didn't get a snarky remark, "Okay you got me I'm not 100% but it's not enough to keep me out of work." Nick admitted going back to burying himself in paper work.
As the day went on nicks health continued to decline, what had started out as a small headache turned into a full blown migraine. His whole body was killing him, he felt like he couldn't keep his eyes open. He was hot and cold signaling he had a fever, he felt nauseous and was very disoriented. "-ick, nick! I've been calling your name for the past five minutes we got a hit in this case we're working and we need to go now." Hank urged missing the way Nick flinched at the sound of his voice or how he staggered to his feet grabbing his jacket, getting into hanks car he was hit with another wave of fatigue. Leaning against the window he closed his eyes and drifted off onto a thankfully dreamless sleep, seeing his partner alseep in the passenger seat of his car raised some more red flags, he'd seen Nick work a case and not sleep for four days and that had ended up with him getting sick from over working himself. Nudging him in the side to wake him up was a horrible idea when Nick grabbed his side hissing in pain, which was another red flag in its self. Nick never let anyone see when he was in pain or had been.
"Nick. Nick!! It's alright I need to check where you're hurt that's all." Hank tried to reassure Nick but it was like he was trying to calm himself more than the other, over the course of the time it took Hank to calm Nick down he's started to breath hard and started shivering like he was trapped in the cold. "Screw the case in taking you to the hospital this isn't normal even for you Nick. Just please hold on." Hank begged after seeing nicks wound and the red that was surrounding the area that was poorly taken care of.
Once getting Nick to the ER he was immediately taken back and a bunch of IVs were started of different medicine but Hank wasn't listing the only word that had stuck out to him was Nick had gone septic from not taking care of him self properly. The only thing Hank could do was play the waiting game, looking at his phone he saw all the missed calls and voice messages from the captain so Hank decided to call him and let him know what was up, " hey cap, so I'm at the hospital with Nick. He apparently got shot on our last investigation you know the one with the shoot out? Anyways he's gone septic because I'm true Nick fashion didn't take care of himself." Hank explained taking a big breath after wards choking on his emotions, after a few hours he was aloud to see nick.
They had to take him ton to surgery to properly take control of the situation and the infection " do you know how worried I was? I mean you were pretty sick Nick" Hank went on turning to see his still kinda pale best friend laying on the bed Hooke up to different antibiotics that were helping fight the infection. " look Hank if I'd known how bad the situation would turn out to be I would have told you, in all honesty I didn't know it would get this outta hand and land me here. But I'm going to be okay now so you don't have to worry about me." Nick replied trying to calm his friend down from spiraling with his thoughts.
it took three days and time at home actually resting for Nick to get back to the world of crime and Weston, everyone was happy Nick was back but lord did he have enough paper work to last months and months. ******************************************* Heyyyy so I'm sorry I left y'all for so long!!!!
