it gets better as it goes i promise Hailey gets mixed up with her boyfriends illegal activities under a threat, and somehow manages to drag Isabelle along with her. But what happens when Jay finds out.... (for clarification on who the character isabelle is she's a character i made up, she's to be jays cousin that he soon adopts after some shit happened yatter yatter) co-writing credits to the all talented Zeta

Jay had had a very long day, a visit from his ex-wife who turned out to actually not be his ex because signed divorce papers - or lack there of - and a break-up with his current (well now ex) girlfriend. The day has been full of exes and all he wanted was a beer... or three. However at the bar he meets a woman and one drink turns into something much more, but they both agree it's just a one-night thing and they don't see each other again until about two weeks later when he has coincidental run-in with the same soft blonde curls at a crime scene. It's there he finds out one thing they didn't cover the night they met, she's also a cop, and when they end up working together certain previous encounters might come back into play, or can they keep it so it will stay as a one-night thing? - alternate universe/canon divergence where jay and hailey met before 4x21 and then follows the canon timeline of season 5 onwards with a small twist - - mentions of linstead in earlier chapters and upzek in later chapters -

What started as a perfectly normal day ends in the worst way Jay thinks is possible, and the funny thing is it's not even lunchtime yet. And it's only set to get worse with each attempt to break free. -- this is whump, whumpy whumpity whump whump whump. warnings that come with whump also apply here so please read with caution --

When a new member is assigned to Intelligence, one of the team starts to suffer. Will the rest of the unit have her back or will she be forced to struggle alone?

As the title says... One Shots. Upstead mainly, or at least I don't see myself writing anything else in the near future. Might be cute and fluffy at times, might get hot, might get dangerous. Might involve Upstead dating, might involve Upstead not dating. Might involve S8 Upstead, might involve future Upstead, might involve past Upstead. Honestly, we'll see. ---- No fixed update schedule, I'll just drop random one shots whenever I get the time to write them. As usual, I might majorly edit them later, so be kind. All rights reserved, have fun reading! I'd love to hear your opinions, so please comment or vote if you like... Apart from the One Chicago characters / cast, the contents of this book are a work of fiction. Any resemblance to other real persons, living or dead, or to other stories is purely coincidental.

For Jay Halstead, life was good. After being discharged from the Rangers, he became a cop and managed to get himself a job in Intelligence where he had been working as a detective for the last few years. But one day, everything changes when a piece of his past returns.

"My place?" Jay asks, breaking the silence. We discussed this before, jokingly, Jay and Vanessa and I. We said that if we were to get quarantined, Jay and I would do it at his place, so Vanessa could stay at mine. We were just fooling around, and I didn't expect it to actually happen. Except it did. And I don't have a better plan than to nod my head at his question and watch the small smile that tugs at the corner of his lips. What the hell did I get myself into? ---- Note: This story takes place before Chicago PD 8x03 happens (rather somewhere pre Season 8). No fixed update schedule, but I'll likely be updating once or twice a week! This is the very first version and as usual, I might majorly edit the whole book once it's done, so be kind.

As Hailey Upton continued to look for more information on what happened to Vanessa, Jay Halstead tried his best to be there for her, but he was continuously pushed away. He continued to look for different ways to make sure Hailey was alright, which led him to discover something that he feared would happen.

Hailey is a law student at Central Chicago University, and when she's not studying, she's working - two jobs, so she can afford living away from her family and be independent of her abusive father. Jay came home from Afghanistan less than a year ago, shortly before his mother died. To be honest, he never really came home though. Being back in Chicago is hell, and while he refuses to talk or seek help, he doesn't care enough to hide it from anyone. When Hailey meets Jay on a drunk night out, she doesn't think she'll ever see him again. She doesn't want to, either. She likes to keep to herself. She doesn't know his past, and he doesn't know hers. She doesn't know how much he's struggling. And little does she know he's Will Halstead's younger brother... This is a story of what might have happened - if Upstead met years earlier, long before they joined the police. ---- Updates every Monday (approximately)!

Hailey and Jay had been married a month and were settling into that life well. There were still a few bumps they experienced as they grew accustomed to the new change but like most of the bumps they had come across in the past, they got over them without a problem. Accompanied with their two and a half-year-old daughter Macie currently in the midst of the so-called "terrible twos", the two of them have their hands full, especially alongside their demanding jobs and with Jay up for a possible promotion in the near future. But one hurdle gets flung in their direction without so much as a warning, one they weren't ready for as of yet - if at all - and it throws the routine they had built out of proportion entirely. - written in Hailey's POV - -- prequel to 'A Love Like Ours' --
