-Chapter Six-
"Recovering"
"Hey, hey, Will. I need you to keep your eyes open, okay? Come on, Will, please stay awake" Jay pleaded. Will had been passing out on their way to hospital.
"I-I can't, Jay"
"Yes you can, little bro, yes you can" He tried again. But Will's strength seems to be failing. "Hey, remember when we get a dirty dog in house? We called him 'Kovhu' remember?
At first there was not response, but a few seconds later, a soft smile curved Will's lips.
"Y-Yeah. Wet put him in mom and dad's bed, and he peed on it" The doctor whispered.
The younger Halstead's eyes were opening and closing clumsily, trying his best to stay awake. Finally, he failed on it.
"No. No! Will, wake up. Come on, wake up!" Jay started shaking his brother.
"Jay, stop. You can hurt him" Kim ordered.
"He won't wake up in any other way"
"We're almost there, but it seems like he hit his head, if you keep shaking him like that, you can cause him more damage. So, stop it. Now"
Upton and Burgess had already called Med, and told Maggie they were coming with an unconscious, injured, and bruised Will Halstead.
When they finally got the Med, doctor Choi and Dr. Rhodes were already waiting for him. They put the unconscious man on a gurney.
"No response pupils" Dr. Choi commented. "Will. Hey, can you hear me?" There was no response.
Dr. Rhodes presses his knuckles against Will's sternum "Not responding at painful stimulus" He added.
"Trauma 3!" Maggie ordered and they got Will to there. Burgess and Upton waited outside and Jay insisted to get in the room.
"Glasgow 3. We need to intubate" Connor said.
"What? Why?" Jay replied.
"He has not ocular responding, no reflexes, he's unconscious, and he's practically in a coma right now" Choi explained as his colleague intubated his friend.
"N-No! He was talking to me a minute ago! This can't be true"
"I'm sorry, Jay. But it is. We need to intubate and moving him to the I.C.U. So, please let us do our work or wait outside" Ethan said, exasperating, but Jay was lost, looking at his brother with crystalized eyes, the detective was not paying attention to him.
Once the read-head was intubated the doctors start looking for any other injury.
"April please put an I.V with glucose solution for 12hrs and fetch Sam for an electroencephalogram" Rhodes ordered.
Once the I.V was inserted and Will was intubated and connected to the ventilator, they payed attention to their friend's body for first time.
"Oh my god" Where Ethan's words at Will's purple ribs, and lashed skin. Rhodes sucked in a quick breath when he noticed, but they both quickly regained their point and objectivity.
"We need a chest x-ray" Was Rhodes order.
Two more nurses put the x-ray machine above Wills chest.
"Clear" Everybody got far.
"He has five broken ribs. One has get to the lung and it's causing a hemothorax, we need a chest tube. Now!"
They started to insert the chest tube.
"Chest tube is in. Let's move him to surgery"
They noticed Jay again, he was stand right in front of them, not moving.
"You go. I'll stay with him" Ethan said to Rhodes.
Once Jay noticed his brother was being taken away from him, he reacted and tried to follow them.
"Hey" Ethan stopped him. "Let them do their job, okay? He's in the best hands, calm down"
"W-what's wrong with him? H-he was stable at the car" The young detective asked.
"Well, right now we are sure he's in a coma status, maybe the inanition and dehydration cause it to him. We're going to have to feed him by an NG tube, and the most probable it's that he'll be waking up once his system gets stronger, he'll be capable to breath by his own again. He also has four or five broken ribs, one of them drilled the left lung a little and cause him a hemothorax"
"What's that?" Jay asked.
"Blood accumulation on the thoracic area. We inserted a chest tube to fix it, and now he'd been taken to surgery to repair it. We're going to move him to the I.C.U and get the neurologist to monitor his brain activity"
"O-Okay. When can I see him?"
"The surgery is going to take a little, be patient and please take a coffee to calm down a little"
"I can't calm down, Ethan"
"Try it. He needs it"
"What if his brain doesn't show any activity? What if he's…?"
"Hey! Don't even think that. Okay? He'll be fine"
"But he was not breathing. That's what you intubated him, right?"
"No, Jay. He was breathing just fine, we intubated him cause' his Glasgow" To seeing Jay's face, the doctor catch he needs to be simpler. "Coma status. And we did to prevent him to stop breathing. So, please calm down. Okay?"
"Okay"
"Any other important thing we need to know? Any injury we're not seeing?"
Jay was about to say no, then remember Maddison.
"Yes, he was… well, he…"
"Jay, what is it?"
Jay got closer to Ethan's ear whispered it to him.
"Oh, my god, Jay. Did that Burke guy did it to him?"
"God, no! Not at all" Then Jay thought it for a minute. He only watched the videos they sand to Vought, and that's it. He wasn't sure that what Dr. Choi said was true or not.
"Well… I don't know. I only know what I saw at the videos, and that's it. I don't know what other things those bastards did to him"
"This is just horrible, Jay. Do you want us to make the rape test to him?"
"I-I don't know. I know it is so invasive, and do it while he's unconscious it's not correct"
"Well' it's your decision, I'm going to ask Dr. Charles what does he recommends, okay?"
"Fine"
"I'll tell you when we move him to the I.C.U"
"Yeah. Thanks"
Ethan left, and Jay sat on a chair in the waiting room, he put his hands on his knees and hide his face on them.
He couldn't lose Will. His brother was the only thing he had. If he dies, Jay wouldn't be able to smile again, he didn't even imagine a life without him. He was the most important person in his life, and he just realized how many time he'd wasted in banal things, he started thinking in their childhood, all the smiles, the hugs, the games, even the fights they'd shared.
"WHERE IS HE!?" Natalie Manning's voice got him out of his thoughts.
"Jay, where is he? I know he's here I just saw Kim and Hailey out there"
"He's in surgery. Rhodes and Choi said something about a hemothorax"
"Why did nobody tell me anything!?" The woman asked, rudely.
"I don't know, Nat. I'm sorry I wasn't really thinking in anything but him"
"Yes… I know, I'm sorry. I'm just… god, I'm so happy he's here"
"So I am, but I'm not sure if we're really going to have him again"
"What are you talking about?"
"He's in a coma, and just imagine the psychological damage he'll be in"
"Jay, of course it will not be easy, but we can get through this, together as a family. He'll need therapy, he'll need to spend some time here, it will be a long recovery, but we can do it, Jay. We can do it"
"I don't know if I can see him like this. I know how PTSD feels like, and I don't know if can stand by seeing little brother in it"
"Well, you must. He'll need us, Jay. We need to be strong for him"
The young detective just smiled at her and waited.
They waited together for a couple hours, before Dr. Rhodes got back to them, they immediately stood up.
"Talk to me, Connor" Natalie demanded.
"He's stable. The surgery got well, we had stopped the internal bleeding and repositioned the ribs on their proper place, and it's just a matter of time that they heal. He's in the I.C.U now"
"Thank God" Natalie said.
"When can we see him?"
"I can take you both to him now, but I need to know who is going to take his medical decisions"
"I will" Jay said, not even giving a chance to Natalie to protest, she seemed angry, but she did not fight the decision, she knew it would be a waste of time.
"Okay, let's go"
They walked to the I.C.U and entered in Will's room. Some nurses where finishing to write something.
Will's face was as white as the blankets, his lips forced open by the tube on this mouth, there was another tube on his nose.
"Don't you think he has enough tubes?" Jay asked, pointing as the one on his brother's nose.
"It is and Nasogastric tube, and it's just for feed him" Rhodes answered.
Jay sat on his brothers left side and Natalie took her place on the opposite side.
The older Halstead immediately took his brother's hand and started caressing it, as Natalie touch her boyfriend's cheek.
"When do you think he's going to wake up?" Jay asked to Rhodes.
"His body needs to recover a little, it can take a day or two"
They both just nodded their heads.
"I'll leave you with him. Please fetch me if something changes"
Natalie nodded and Connor left.
They stayed in silence for a few minutes, each one submerged on their own thoughts.
"Nat" Jay finally said.
"Hmm?"
"What do you think? As a doctor… do you think he's going to..?
"NO! Jay, listen to me" Natalie left Will's side to kneel in front of Jay and take the hand that wasn't holding Will's between hers.
"I'm not saying this as his girlfriend, and I'm not saying this to you as my brother. I'm talking as a doctor now" She stared at Jay's blue teared eyes. "He's going to be all right. I've seen a lot of patients in his condition, and they all had a full recovery, it's going to take a while, but he'll be all right"
Something inside Jay was telling him she was lying, but the only thing he could do was believe her, so he nodded his head.
"Jay" A voice called from the door. When he looked up saw Dr. Choi standing there. "Can you come with me for a minute, please?"
"What for?" Jay really didn't want to leave his brother's side.
"Dr. Charles want to speak with you" Jay understood and stood up.
"Dr. Charles?" Natalie asked and the men nodded. "Why?" Jay had already left.
"Nat. I can't really tell you until Jay agree"
"He'll be my husband"
"I'm sorry, Nat" Ethan said and left.
…
"So, Dr. Choi informed me about your suspicions, Jay" Dr. Charles started.
"Yes. I… I really don't know what to do"
"Okay, I'm going to talk to you as a psychiatrist first, then I'm going to inform you your legal rights so you can make a proper decision" Jay nodded.
"Will will be really traumatized about everything that happened, he's going to have flashbacks and nightmares, he's going to need psychiatric assistance and medication for the anxiety, so, submit him to a rape test even when he's unconscious is going to add a lot more to that list, he's going to wake up, and we're going to have to tell him we did it, how do you think he's going to look at us? So my medical recommendation is not to do it. But I also have to tell you that, if we do it, and results positive, it will help a lot in the kidnaper's trial and add a lot more years to the sentence. So you have three options.
Do it now that he's unconscious and he won't remember anything, and then tell him we did it and deal with his reaction.
Not do it and never mention it to him.
Wait until he wakes up and ask him if he wants it.
Jay thought it for a while, of course he's wants to put that son of a bitch in jail for the rest of his life, and if the rape test results positive it would make it sure. But what if it doesn't? He's going to submit his brother to that invasive and horrible procedure for nothing. He couldn't do that, he thought about saying no, but what if his brother's want it? God, this is too hard.
"I'm going to choose option three. Wait until he wakes up and ask him"
"Okay, I'll come back to check on him" Jay nodded and Ethan pats him on the shoulder.
So he went back to Will and Natalie. She stared at him, angry. He sighed and explained her everything, she broke in tears again.
…
Almost two days, and nothing, his vitals were stable but nothing has changed, Jay, Natalie, Maggie and Sharon had tried and talk to him, but nothing. Jay was starting to despair, with every second he convinces himself more that his brother will never be the same again.
"Jay?" Natalie caught his attention.
"Yeah?"
"I'm going home tonight, okay? I've left Owen alone a lot of time. Will you be all right?"
"Sure, Nat. Go. Thank you"
She smiled, when the day got dark she left.
Jay was falling asleep on the side of Will's bed, he was really tired, the dark color under his eyes betrays him, he barely eats, of course the doctors had tried to persuade him to go home, but he had roundly refused, Hailey was getting him new clothes every day and he was being able to have baths in the hospital.
He was trying to stay awake, but his eyes felt like rocks, finally something woke him up.
-Mhhhmmm- A whimper came from his brother, he immediately stood up and look at the younger man in the bed.
"Will!? Hey, Will can you hear me?" he asked his brother "squeeze my hand if you can" and he felt a soft squeeze in his hand that was holding Will's.
"Hey! I need some help in here! I think he's waking up"
In less than a second Rhodes and Choi were there, practically pushed Jay to a side and focused in their friend.
Rhodes opened Will's eyes to check on his pupils.
"Pupils are responsive. Will? Man can you hear me?"
Will whimpered again in response.
"Okay, good. Can you open your eyes for me?" Wills eyes seemed to try to get open, but he barely lift his eyelids. "Come on, Will show us those eyes of yours, come on" Will tried his best, he opened and closed them clumsily, but managed to put his right arm on his throat and whimpered again in discomfort.
"Do you want us to take out the tube?" He moved his head up and down once, almost imperceptible. "Okay, open your eyes and we'll talk about it, okay?"
The doctor on the bed tried again, and finally let them see a pair of scared chocolate beautiful eyes.
"That's great, Will. Good job, we're going to take that tube out, okay?" Rhodes tells him and then proceed to extubate him, he immediately start whimpering.
"J-Jay!" Will managed to say.
"I'm here, little brother, I'm right here" His brother said and took his hand.
Will put his hand on the tube on his nose in an attempt to take it off, but Jay grabbed his hand and stopped him.
"You need it now, Will. It's the way we're feeding you" Rhodes explained.
"B-but I d-don't want i-it" The youngest man protested with tears in his eyes. "I'm sorry, Will but you need it now, we'll see if we can get it out tomorrow"
Will looked at Jay with pleading eyes.
"P-please!"
"Sorry, little bro, you really need it"
"We need to check him, his temperature and lung noises" Choi whispered to Jay.
"Will?" Jay called his brother.
"The doctors need to check you, and make sure that everything's all right"
Will started freaking out.
"N-no! Please don't touch me! Jay please d-don't let them, p-please!" He begged. Jay looked at the doctors, not knowing what to do.
"It's necessary, Jay. We have to know how's him, we also need a blood test to get his nutrition state" Jay nodded and stood up in front his brother.
"Will, listen to me. I'll be here every second, okay?"
"N-no! Please d-don't!"
Jay took his brother's hands and pinned them at his sides, while keep talking to him, but Will wasn't listening.
Choi put the stethoscope over Will's chest as a nurse took his temperature, but the job was impossible for the doctors, since the young man started moving and then kicking to get the hands off of him.
"We need some help in here!" Choi yelled, immediately two male nurses came, one of them hold his legs as the other pin his shoulders down, that made him freak out even more, but Choi and Rhodes quickly took his vitals, check the surgery scars and everything needed.
Everybody left except for Rhodes and Jay, and let the read head crying hysterically.
"Will, Will, look at me. It's okay, it's over now and I'm here okay? Calm down, you're okay" His words were not making any changes on Will's state.
"We're going to have to sedate him" Rhodes said.
"No, wait!"
Jay stood and hugged his brother, rubbing shooting circles on his back.
"Easy, easy. That's it, you're okay"
Eventually, Will's crying got into small sniffles, after a good 30 minutes his breathing went back into normal and fall asleep into his brother's arms, Jay laid him over the hospital bed and sighed.
"It's not going to be easy" Jay said to himself.
"It won't" Rhodes answers him. "We'll have to do that twice a day, Jay. I'll inform Dr. Charles and see if he can start with therapy now"
"Yeah, thanks!"
Natalie was back in the morning, Jay informed her everything that had happened and she felt guilty for not being there for him, there was eight or clock and they were waiting for Will to wake up, he'd been sleeping well he whole night, maybe Dr. Charles was wrong, and he wouldn't be having nightmares.
They were both in silence, until Jay started sneezing.
"Are you okay?" Natalie asked him.
"Yeah, they're just my…" Another sneeze. "Allergies" She nodded but when he kept doing it, she asked again.
"Are you sure you're okay, Jay?"
"Y-Yes" Sneeze "I'm fine. I just need to get my…" sneeze. "Inhalator"
"And where is it?" Natalie asked.
"My bag" sneeze "On the waiting room"
"I'm going" Natalie stood up.
"No" sneeze "You stay with him, I'm going" Jay stood up and left with a final sneeze.
When Jay left Natalie stood over Will's bed and kiss his forehead.
"You need to keep fighting, okay?" She whispered and got back to her seat, she was reading a magazine when a noise caught her attention. A whimper from the young man on the bed. She immediately stood and look him at the eyes.
"Will, oh, love. I'm so happy to see…"
"No! Please not! Don't hurt me more please! P-please!" He started yelling and crying.
"Will, love it's me. Natalie" She explained.
"No! Maddie, please don't I'll be good, p-please d-don't hurt me!" Natalie's heart broke into pieces.
Jay returned with a red nose but his sneezing had stopped.
"J-Jay, please get her out of h-here! P-please don't let her h-hurt me!" His brother pleaded and Natalie left. Tears coming down her checks.
…
It was not possible, the love of her life was terrified of her, how could he think she was that woman? Natalie's heart was broken, she slipped by the wall and hide her face on her knees, crying.
Will could not recognize her.
