'Til The End of Time

Chapter 10: "Never Believe Your Eyes"

Erin and Jay rushed through the doors of Chicago Med, they were both worried.

"April! Where is Will and Nat?" Jay asked
Jay sat down holding his wife's hand.

"Jay,they are in surgery. You should have seen it. It wasn't good. It didn't look good.." Owen ran in next panicking.

"Are they gonna be okay? Where's Wyatt?" Owen shouted. Jay got up and hugged him.

"Owen, I don't know. I need you to sit down." Owen scoffed and sat down at his aunts orders. The whole day was a big blur for everyone. Owen was panicking about his parents. Jay didn't know who to call.

"Carlie, I need you at the hospital. Will and Nat. It's not looking good." Carlie dropped the bottle in her hand.

"I'm I'm on my way. I'll drop the kids off to Mike at the firehouse." Carlie grabbed the kids and ran out the door on the way to the hospital she dropped her kids off at the firehouse then drove to Chicago Med. She rushed in the doors then grabbed Owen and pulled him in for a hug.

"Jay, Rhodes said Will is..." Jay burst into tears, he knew what she was going to say. It wasn't a good thing and everyone knew. Will was his older brother, his best friend. His protection against playground bullies. Will was his brother, most of all. Yeah they got their times and moments but Jay loves his older brother and he still loves him after what happened when he went to war.

Erin pulled him in for a hug and kept held him tight.

"Jay, the drunk driver came in." April pointed to the room. Jay let go of his wife and walked to the room.

"I'm gonna kill this son of a bitch." Jay opened the door.

"So you think it's okay to drink and drive? Well now my nephew is growing up without parents." Antonio came in and grabbed him and pulled him back.

"He's my brother. He's dead Tony. I don't know." Antonio pulled him in for a hug.

"So Dad is just dead. Like that." Owen snapped his fingers. Wyatt came up behind him and hugged him.

"No. Dad's not dead. Like that. He's a Halstead and us Halstead men little Bro, we are fighters. All of us. I'm gonna miss him."

"No shit Sherlock. I love him. It's gonna be weird not having him here." Owen hugged his older brother.

"Owen, come see. It's okay to cry. We all do it. I do it. Dad won't get to meet their grandson. Which makes me sad."

Owen walked away and slumped down into the hospital chair. He put his head in his jacket and cried. The pain is coming back. The pain he got when his best friend committed suicide. The pain he got when his brother left for college. He knew it would come back. Jay clung tight to Erin trying not to hurt her as he did.

"Jay,it's okay. Cry." Erin wiped the tears off. Erin placed a hand on her stomach and Jay looked over and placed his over it.

"Er, I'm sorry. I'm gonna leave. I'll be back soon. Call me if anything changes." Jay disappeared into the darkness of the night he drove towards Molly's.

He was going to sit on it and sip the beer. He knew he shouldn't. He promised Erin he wouldn't but hearing those words. The words that his brother didn't make it. He couldn't hear them. Owen heard it. Jay knew what would happen.

"I'm sorry Will." Jay took a shot then sipped another one. Jay stopped then got up and walked out the door. Kelly stopped him.

"I don't care. Jay get your act together. Erin and your baby needs a dad. I can't stress this enough you are made for Erin. Yeah I know your brother died. I cried when mine died. But you don't have to do this. Go back to the hotel and be there for your nephews. Erin needs you." Kelly stopped him then let him go. Jay pushed through and walked to the hospital. He walked in and hugged Erin.

"Erin, I'm sorry. I shouldn't do this but I'm sorry and I love you and you are mine." Jay pulled her in for a hug. Jay stood up and looked, he saw his limp brother being rolled out to a room.

He was in a coma... Will was bleeding internally and he slipped into one. No one knew when he'd wake up. Or if Nat would ever wake up. Jay knew he had to stop. His siblings are okay. Carlie walked over and hugged him.

"Jay, they are gonna be okay." Jay shook his head he saw Mikey running in. Jay let go of his sister and picked him up.

"Uncle Jay, I met a friend at School today. His name is JJ."

"Aww that is so cool dude. Go play with Owen. I gotta talk to your mom."
Mikey shook his head he ran over to Owen.

"Owen, can we play?" Owen scoffed but stopped as his uncle looked at him.

"I need your help with a baby shower for Erin.."

Kim looked in the mirror and saw herself. "I love you." She placed her hand on top her belly and smiled. Adam walked in and smiled big.

"Adam, I want the baby to be a girl but a boy would good too."

"Kim, whatever you want is whatever I want."

"If She is a girl I want to name her Brooklynn Shay and a boy Shane Daniel Ruzek."

"How about Luke because Star Wars." Adam chuckled
Kim smiled.

"Alright Luke and Brooklynn." Kim placed her hand over her stomach and smiled real big.

"You look pretty darlin'."

Erin stood up and walked over towards the window and looked at Nat and Will lying in the beds. They had both been in a coma for the past three days.

"Aunt Erin, are they ever gonna wake up?" Owen asked

Erin turned around. "Bud I don't know but they will soon. I promise." Owen smiled, then walked into the room.

His parents opened his eyes up and they woke up...

Next chapter is a time jump just a few weeks to Erin's gender reveal along with Kim and Sylvie's. I don't want this feeling rushed at all. In all honestly I want it to be gradual but you know sometimes it's not. I hope you liked this. Will and Nat ARE ALIVE! Just saying!
