James has not been sleeping through the night lately, which meant Olivia and Jay weren't sleeping either, but Olivia tried fo make jay stay in bed and sleep most of the time, so she would constantly get up. Jay wasn't having it. Parenting was a 50/50 gig. Olivia wanted Jay to sleep because she knew how exhausted he was at the end of shift. James' tiny whimpers came over the montioner as he cries for Jay. Olivia got out of bed and Jay stopped her.

"I got him babe." Jay said.

"You just got off a double shift and you have an early shift in a few hours. You're staying in bed."

Jay laid back down and Olivia went into James' room. She picked him up and rocked him back and forth.

"It's okay baby, mommy's got you. Calm down, it's alright."

"Where's daddy?" He cries.

"He's sleeping. He had a very long day catching the bad guys."

"I haven't seen him in months momma."

Olivia chuckled.

"It's been two days, at most silly goose. Maybe if you go to sleep now, I'll wake you up early so you can see daddy."

"Will you tell him I loves him?"

"I'm sure he knows, but ill tell him."

Olivia tucked James back in and went to her room, where she crawled back into bed next to Jay.

"Great, our son hates me." Jay groaned.

"Clearly he doesn't hate you."

"He thinks I've been gone for months!"

"Jay, he's 3 1/2, he has no sense of time."

"I'm telling Voight I need time off"

"No, you're not."

"Fine. Then I'm leaving work early to pick him up from day care."

"Okay, that's a little better."

Olivia was stuck between a rock and a hard place. She had gone to Med after being sick for a almost a week, turns out she had the flu. According to Will, he would only allow her to go home if he knew someone would be with her to keep an eye on her. And she knew exactly who Will wanted it to be. She wanted to go home but she didn't want to bother Jay.

"Will, please, I'm begging you. I'll go right home and do nothing."

"Are you kidding? You sound just like Jay does."

"I don't need a babysitter!"

"Now that was exactly what Jay would say."

It took her 30 minutes to call him. He was at work and the moment he hear her say she was at Med, he was frantically yelling to Voight that he has to go. She stayed on the phone with him as he drove, telling him that she was okay and even scolding him for driving with the lights and sirens on. When he ran into her room at Med, she had never seen him in such a panicked state.

"You're okay right?! Please tell me you're okay."

"Jay, calm down. I'm okay. It's just the flu and Will wouldn't let me leave unless you picked me up."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to here in the first place? I would've been here with you."

"For that exact reason. You wouldn't have gone to work, you would've hovered-"

"I don't hover." He scoffed.

"You do."

"Whatever." He mumbled with fake annoyance.

Olivia fake poured and reached her hand out to him.

"Now that you're here, will you lay with me and keep me warm?"

"Nope, don't want you to think I'm hovering."

"This is one of those times where I'll let it slide."

After much arguing, they ended up at Jays apartment. All Olivia wanted to do was go home and rest. Jays excuse was that since her house was filled with flu germs, it needed a good cleaning or she'd never get better. It wasn't totally a bad excuse, but still.

"Maybe I should be wearing a mask or you should. Ya know, just to be safe." She joked.

"My immune system is pretty strong. You're not gonna get me sick."

Jay helped her into his bed. He gave her a sweatshirt to put on and put the blanket over her.

"I'm gonna get you some soup, tea, water and Gatorade."

"I really don't need all that."

"Yes you do. You need to eat and stay hydrated."

She sighed.

"You know what I could use?" She asked.

"What?" He replied.

"You."

"Come again?" He asked, his voice slightly higher than normal.

"Get your mind out of the gutter Halstead. I could use a snuggle cuddle sesh. Laying in bed curled up to you, that's the best feeling in the world."

Jay put a bottle of water and a bottle of Gatorade on the night table and climbed into bed next to her. He pulled her into him and she laid her head on his chest and closed her eyes.

"That's it babygirl, get some rest."

When she woke hours later, Jay was our cold still tangled up with her. His face was flushed and he was sweating bullets. Olivia got up to make them each a bowl of soup before gently waking him.

"Come on Mr. I don't get sick, wake up."

Jay let out a groan.

"What's happening?"

"Seems like you've come down with the flu as well."

"How?"

"You've caught my sick germs."

"That fast?"

Olivia chuckled and brought her hand to his forehead to check his temperature.

"We spend a lot of time together, I'm sure it's been brewing to come out. You've definitely got a fever. I'm gonna make you some tea."

"Nooooo." He groaned, reaching for her.

"Yes, and I'm texting Voight from your phone and telling him you need a few days off."

Jay lazily turned his head towards her and he looked terrible.

"I thought I looked bad, but you look like shit. Come on, out of those sweaty clothes."

Jay protested and Olivia pulled him to sit up.

"Livi..."

"I know blue eyes, come on."

As terrible as she felt, Jay was clearly much worse. She made sure to keep a cold cloth on his forehead to help with the fever. While Jay was always loving towards her, sick Jay was super touchy feely, mushy, cuddly and snuggly. That was the side of Jay she'd never get enough of.
