"Jay, I have to tell you something, but don't freak out." Will walked into the conference room.

"I'm freaking out now, all because you said don't freak out. What's happened? Is it Erin? Something bad happened, I know it. What was it?" Jay interrogated.

"It is Erin. She was brought in by ambulance, unconscious. We don't know for sure what happened, but she has some internal bleeding. She is going into surgery in a few minutes, and it's unknown what time she'll be out, but it will take a while because of other various injuries they will be dealing with. I'm really sorry you had to find out like this, but just know she's in te best hands. We'll take very good care of her." Will explained.

Jay couldn't hear a word he said. Jay felt like he was on the outside looking in, trying to piece each word together to make it understandable, but it was impossible. He could barely breathe. He thought over and over, what if she tried to kill herself. Had he made her feel like that was the only way out.

"I have to see her," He stood and tried passing Will but Will grabbed him and pushed him back into a seat.

"Cry, get mad, something. Just do anything but try and see her. You don't want to see her right now. If you see her, you can't unsee it, so please, stay here and let out the emotions you're trying to bottle up. Let it spill, please. Tell me," Will sat next to him and looked at him seriously.

"I don't know what to feel. Should I feel worried, scared, sad? I don't know what to do? How do I tell Voight what's happening? What if... What if she dies and never gets to see Kota grow up, get married? What if this is all because of me?" Jay let out a slight sob and sniffled.

"You can feel worried, scared, and sad, but you don't have to do anything. I'll call Voight. You just sit here with Kota. I promise, it'll be okay, she won't die, she'll be fine. You have my word," Will consoled.

Will walked out of the room and pulled out his phone and dialed Voight.

"Voight. Who's this?" He asked.

"Sir, this is Will Halstead," Will replied.

"What can I do for ya?" Voight sat up in his chair, responding slowly.

"I don't know where to start. You need to get to Med pronto. Erin's in the hospital. We don't know much, but Jay's here and he needs some support." Will explained.

When Will turned around, he saw Jay carrying Kota over into the waiting area because he knew people would be showing up soon. He sat down and minute by minute, everyone was showing up to be there for him and Kota.
