Jay had been in hospital overnight, Erin hadn't left his side. Kim and Adam were staying with Noah so she knew he was okay and all she wanted to focus on right now was Jay. He had been in and out since he first woke up so they hadn't had an actual conversation, this made Erin think he still wasn't out of the woods. She hadn't eaten, barely slept. She has been sitting in the chair next to his bed for 16 hours.
Voight and Hailey walked in and saw Erin as she rested her head on the bed, they could tell she was exhausted. Will had tried to get her to take a walk, eat and get some sleep but it was hopeless. So he sent in the big guns.
"Hey kiddo" Voight said as he walked in followed by Hailey "Hey Erin"
"Hey guys"
"Kid, I think you better go for a walk. Get some food and a tea? How bout that?" Voight said calmly.
"No I just want to stay here" she shook her head and squeezed Jays hand a little tighter.
"Erin. If your not going to do it for you, do it for the baby" Hailey said
Erin started nodding, she knew she was right. "Hank can you stay with him then please?" He nodded "Ring me if he wakes up?" He nodded again as she walked out with Hailey.
It had been half an hour and Erin and Hailey were still at the cafeteria. Hank was sitting next to Jay flicking through magazines when he heard Jay speaking.
"Didn't think you were the magazine type of guy sarge" he said with a croaky voice.
"Can't say I'm really reading it" Voight put the magazines down and stood up next to Jay "How you feeling Halstead?"
"Yeah okay I guess. Feels like I might be flying a little crooked for a while" Jay replied.
"I talked to Will and he said no structural damage so you got lucky" Hank said as he squeezed Jays leg.
"How's Erin? And Noah?"
"Noah's good doesn't suspect a thing. Kim and Adam are looking after him at your place" Jay smiled and nodded "Erin, I mean she's..."
Jay interrupted Vought abruptly "Voight, what's wrong?"
"She hasn't left your side for over 16 hours. Hailey finally got her to get up and go for a walk and get something to eat." Hank watched as Jay fling his head backwards.
"Where is she now?" Just as he said that she came walking in. Her face lit up when she saw Jay having an actual conversation.
"Jay" she walked to him and hugged him. She then pulled back and gave him a kiss. "Hey"
"Hey baby. How are my girls doing?" He slowly pulled his arm up and rested his hand on Erins stomach.
"Good now"
After a couple hours Erin left to go see Noah and have a shower. It took a lot to convince her to leave, but she knew Jay was okay and he had a lot of people to keep him company.
Hailey stayed with him while Erin was gone, even though Erin thought she had to convince her too. Hailey never would have left him alone even if she wasn't asked.
Hailey stood up next to Jay after he had finished eating "So how are you actually feeling?"
"Like I was asleep for a year"
"Yeah but you needed a little rest" she chuckled.
"Hailey, you know I hate hospitals" she agreed "You gotta get me out of here"
"Not an option. I'm on strict instructions that I'm to stay here and make sure your don't escape" she smiled as she shook her head.
Will walked in with Kevin and Adam "Hey bro, found some stragglers roaming around the hallway looking for you"
"Man, hell of a way to get some time off. I mean getting hit over the head and shot twice?" Adam laughed as Kevin elbowed him.
"It's good to see you bro" Kevin said.
"Hey I'm going to go, give you guys some guy time. Call me if you need anything" Jay went to speak "And yes I will go check up on Erin"
"Thanks Hailey" she nodded as she walked out.
"Ruz hows my little man?" Jay asked Adam.
"He's eager to see his dad, but he will be fine. Luckily he's not old enough to know anything"
"Yeah, luckily" Jay paused "Erin not so well huh? This isn't meant to happen" he started shaking his head.
"Jay. Lindsay is the strongest woman I know. Yeah this was hard on her but that's what we are all here for. We are a family, we have each other's backs when something like this happens" Kevin smiles at Jay "Just maybe next time. Don't get shot?"
