When Kevin and Jay arrive at the Ruzek's they knock on the door. When Kim answers the door her knees buckle on her instantly. Kevin and Jay catch Kim and get her to the couch where she hugs on Kevin until she is calm enough to speak

K- What happened?

J – We were assisting on a bust with Drug Task Force, they told us there were 3 men in the house based on 2 days of surveillance.

KA – Once the 3 men were in custody the Drug Task Force guys relaxed before we declared the rest of the house cleared and a 4th guy who was in the house got the jump on Adam and Lindsay. Adam was shot, they took him to Chicago Med.

K – Ok let's go. I need to see my Husband.

J – One moment Kim. Where is your emergency bag?

K – In the nursery but we won't need it, I am fine. We have 2 weeks still.

J – I am going to have Kev go get it in a minute when we head outside but I want you to listen very carefully to what I am about to say.

K – Ok? Hurry up I want to get to Adam.

J – When we get to the hospital the first that is going to happen is you are going to let Natalie check on you and this includes a wireless contraction and heart monitor for the baby.

K – But Jay.

KA – Kim please listen to him.

K – So you are on his side on this.

KA – Yes and I am pretty sure you will find no support for anything else in the Unit so just accept it.

K – Fine I will do that, then I will wait in the waiting room for news.

J – Yes you will but laying on your side on a couch only if Nat and Will don't think you should be admitted.

K – I don't want to be admitted if I am in labor but I don't want to leave Adam in the hospital alone.

J – We will deal with that if that comes about.

K – OK but why the couch.

J – We haven't gotten around to telling you about the day Madeline was born but it started with one of Erin's team members being in the hospital and it kicked started her labor, if that happens we want to know that you can't hide it from us. Which we know you would try to do if I didn't insist on the monitor.

K – I am going to lose on this as well won't I.

KA – Yes girl you will, now I am going to get your bag and meet you in the car.

Once Kevin is gone Jay turns to Kim

J – How many contractions have you had since Adam left for work

K – None I swear.

J – Then why did I feel you go through one while you were crying on Kevin?

K – But how did you?

J – You didn't notice I had my hand on your stomach so I could tell if you were having contractions and it seems that was good idea given you were about to lie to me.

K- Please let me go still Jay

J – How many?

K – That was the 3rd one, I had already called Natalie, and they aren't constant or very painful. The last one was 2 hours ago.

J – Ok when they become painful you will tell us?

K – Won't you have Will and Nat watching me like a hawk anyway.

J – Yes but it will be easier if you are honest with us as well.

K – I will be honest, just don't keep from the hospital.

J – I actually think that is the best place for you.

KA – Found the bag, sorry it took so long I figured you would be in the car.

K – Jay was making me tell him the truth.

KA – About what?

K – The three contractions I had.

KA – Maybe you shouldn't go to the hospital.

J – That is probably the best place for her right now and we will have Will and Nat watching her. She has promised to be honest with us and has already been in contact with Nat. She knows about the first 2 contractions the last one happened while we were here.

KA – but I didn't see anything.

K – I know they aren't painful. Jay only knew because he was sneaky and had his hand on belly while I was upset.

KA – I wondered why you were doing that, it makes sense. Let's get on the road.

When Hank and Erin arrive they find Rojas pacing in the waiting room with the 61 paramedics and Casey watching on.

H – Rojas?! Have they said anything?

R – No, not yet, Dr. Halstead and Dr Rhodes took him right to the hybrid OR.

Erin turns to Sylvie

E – Slyvie how bad was he when you guys arrive?

B – I am so sorry Erin, it didn't look good. He coded as we pulled in. But I am sure they are doing everything they can.

At that April comes out to check on the growing group.

AS – They have him back and are started exploring the wound to see what needs to be done. We have a personalized waiting room upstairs for you guys. Natalie called a little before he pulled in and asked if it was available. It has an exam room close by for Nat to feed and do anything she may need to when Kim arrives.

E – Thank you April

H – What would they need to do with Burgess?

E – We have been waiting for her to go into labor any night, she has had some leading signs this week. I know Hailey mention that Jay was concerned that history may repeat itself.

H – Oh I see, do you think he and Nat have a plan.

E – Most likely, you know Jay he would rather be planning then thinking about what is happening with Ruzek.

H – Good point. Head on up I will direct everyone your direction once they arrive.

C – Voight, do you mind if we stick around. We are off shift and Boden is sending someone to pick up the ambu.

H – No problem you 3 it will be nice to have extra hands for the twins once Natalie gets here.

The next to arrive at the hospital is Upton with Natalie and the Twins.

H – thank you for coming Natalie. April has the waiting room and exam room you requested set aside. Erin is already up there with some of Firehouse 51, who are off shift.

N – Do we have an ETA on Kim's arrival?

H – No I haven't heard for Jay or Kevin, they may still be calming her down.

N – Ok, are those 3 the last ones we are waiting on?

H – Yeah, Will is in the Hybrid OR with Rhodes working on Ruzek.

N – Upton do you mind taking the twins up by yourself I want to check on the surgery.

H – Just leave one of them with me. Grandpa can babysit until the other 3 arrive. If Kim is needing assistance at that point Jay and Kevin are with her.

N – You sure?

H – Natalie I have 4 kids of my own as well as a 3 grandchild with another on the way. I can watch a child in a car seat for 15 mins or so.

Natalie and Upton head off to their tasks and Hank sits down with little Catherine in front of him. Seconds after Natalie and Upton leave Catherine let's her distaste of the baby carrier known. He quickly removes her from the carrier.

H – Hey baby girl. Your good, Mommy is just inside talking to Daddy. Uncle Adam is going to be ok.

Seconds later a stranger interrupts him from trying to calm Catherine down.

Stranger – Sir it looks like it has been a few years since you have a cared for a newborn would you like some help.

H – I am fine ma'am. She is only a week old and her parents trust me and don't know you so we will be fine. And if you are worried about her crying I will be going up to another waiting room just as soon as the rest of my team members arrive.

Stranger – Are you sure sir? How many years has it been since you had a newborn at home, plus should you really be doing that with a weapon on your hip.

H – Ma'am it has been a rough day for my family please if you don't mind please let me just mind to my Granddaughter while I am waiting for the rest of my family to arrive.

Stranger – Earlier you called the team members, now family. I don't know if you know this child.

H - You were sitting right there when her mother left me with her. Plus you shouldn't judge me by my age, it has not been long since I had a newborn in my house. About 2 months to be exact, my 2nd wife and I also have a 5 year old. I am fine with her, please the last 3 of my family just arrived so we will be heading to another spot in the hospital. Have a wonderful day ma'am.

Hank hurries over to Kim with Catherine in his arms.

H – What do you need Kim?

K – Nat.

H – Are you good by yourself that I can have Jay grab Catherine's carrier. She is not fond of it at this moment.

K – Yes, Jay go ahead and grab it I am fine.

H – We have a waiting room upstairs Natalie will meet us up there once she is done checking on Adam.

As Hank, Kevin and Hank head upstairs Jay goes to grab the carrier and encounters the stranger.

Stranger – Oh kind officer, do you know the parents of that dear child he was holding. I think they should know what he said about her.

J – I do. She is my niece what happened.

Stranger – He said such horrible things about how she shouldn't be born and that he wished that he didn't have to care for her.

J – Ma'am I am going to stop you there. What are you doing here in the waiting room?

Stranger – Waiting for my 16 year daughter, she has so many health problems we are in and out of her all the time. They kicked me out of the room because they calm she wasn't being honest.

J – I will go check on your daughter and be back.

Stranger – Are you really going to leave that child with that man?

J – By now he is with a whole unit of cops I am sure they will be fine.

The first nurse he runs into is April

AS – Hey Jay, you missing something in that car seat?
J – Oh yeah it is Catherine's, Hank has her but she was over the seat? What do you know about a 16 year old who the mom was kicked out of the exam room.

AS – Yeah we are waiting on a police dispatch, they are suspecting Manchausen by Proxy.

J – Ok you may want to watch her. She told me that Hank said some very interesting and awful things to Catherine. Which I doubt?

AS – Oh I will.

J – I told her I would check on her daughter, what do you want me to say to her?

AS – We are running some intensive tests and calling in a specialist. That will ply her for a while. Hollar if you need me.

J – Will do thanks and good luck with her, she is a piece of work.

Jay heads back to the stranger.

J – Ma'am I just spoke with the charge nurse. They are currently in the middle of running some intensive tests and calling in a specialist, they will be back to get you once they have the results.

Stranger – Thank you sir. Now what are you going to do about your niece and that awful man.

J – I will go check on them now. But considering he is also my father-in-law and is the greatest with my daughter as well I have no doubts in his ability.

Stranger – What is your name and badge number sir?

J – Det Jay Halstead. Badge Number 65549. I will be in the upstairs waiting room if the cops need to speak with me. As will my Sgt who you are bad mouthing. Have a wonderful day ma'am
