This is set in the near future in Chicago PD. I don't own any of this characters. I only do this for fun. I am hoping to update every 2 or 3 days. Read, enjoy and please review.
The day began like any other; quick cuddle in bed, shower, breakfast and then rushing into work. It was their daily routine and they had it down packed. They got to work did some paperwork for a while until they got a lead in a case they've been working. Jay and Adam headed out to meet with the CI who had information about the AK-47s they were tracking, everyone was hopeful this would lead to finally locating the guns and getting them off the streets before they were used to kill more people.
About two hours after Jay walked out of the precinct her life was turned upside down. - "Upon" She answered her phone without checking who was calling.
"Hailey its Adam."
She immediately stood up, his tone telling her something bad happened. "Are you guys okay?"
"Hailey you need to come to Chicago Med. Its Jay."
She was already running down the stairs catching Kim's attention. "What happened? Is it bad?" her heart was beating out of her chest as she got to her car.
"Its not life threatening. Please drive carefully ill fill you in the details here."
She nodded and hanged up, stopped for a moment before leaving the parking lot to calm her nerves and then pulled out. No need to make things worse by getting into an accident.
The drive to Med felt like an eternity. As soon as she walked in, she saw Adam sitting in a chair with a busted lip and a bloodied face. He got up to meet her.
"Will said he's going to be okay. He has a dislocated shoulder, some bruising and a pretty bad concussion."
I felt like a weight was lifted of me and I could breathe "At least he didn't get shot." I laughed a little, trying to make light of a still serious situation. "What happened exactly? Are you okay? Looks like you were in a bar fight."
"We were waiting for the CI but he never showed. Instead, 4 guys jumped us. We didn't have time to radio for help before we were right in it with them. We were able to subdue 2, one was shot and one got away. He's the one who hit Jay over the head. I radioed in for back up and a bus and here we are."
"Did you get to see a doctor already?"
"Not yet, I was waiting for you. I wanted to make sure you didn't freak out waiting for news on Jay."
She felt tears threatening to spill and hugged him. "Thank you, and thanks for taking care of him. Please let's get you taken care of and meanwhile I'll call Kim. I ran out without saying anything."
"She knows, she called right after we spoke. I told her don't worry about coming over. Will said he would come get you after Jays CT."
And just as he finished saying that Will showed up in the waiting room and walked straight to them.
"Well, he's still unconscious, took a pretty nasty blow to the head but he has no bleeds. He'll have a nasty headache for a few days and the inflammation will go down in a few weeks or so. He had a dislocated shoulder and has a few bruised ribs but nothing serious."
She listened and nodded glad the news wasn't terrible. "Can I see him?"
"Yeah, come on. You too Adam lets get your cleaned up and make sure nothing is broken." Will motioned for them to follow him. He had Adam go into a room and took her to where Jay was.
I gasped when I saw him
"I know he looks terrible he took quite a beating more the bruises will go away." Will put her mind at ease.
"When will he wake up?"
"Anytime."
"Good" I took his hand into mine and kissed him in his forehead.
"Do you want me to wait with you?"
"Will, I am fine. I'm sure you have work to do."
"I do but family is more important, and I know my brother does enough to make you worry."
"Can't blame him for this one. And at least he didn't get shot."
"True. Well just call me if you need anything."
She just nodded and took the chair next to his bed. While waiting she got a few texts from Kim, Kevin and even Voight asking about Jay. She gave them an update and let Voight know he probably wouldn't be able to get back to work for a few days.
About an hour of her being there she started to wake up. "Hey how are you feeling?"
"Like I got ran over with a truck." He opened his eyes only to close them again right away. "What happened?"
"You went to see the CI with Adam and got into a big fight instead."
"My head is killing me."
"you got a pretty big blow to the head. Let me call Will maybe they can give you something for the pain."
"Ok" he mumbled
I went out to get the nurse to call Will and went I went back in the room he still had his eyes closed. I turned the light of remembering last time I got a concussion how the light just made it worse. A minute later Will walked in.
"Hey, I hear you got a nasty headache." Jay just nodded. "I am going to give you some pain meds but no driving or operating heavy equipment after that okay?"
Jay finally opened his eyes, took a glance at her and then at Will. "Whatever you say just give me something because my head feels like its splitting in half."
"You got it." Will was already putting something in his IV. "You gave us a scare again. Don't worry though we kept Hailey calm."
"Thanks for waiting here Upton." He scooted up in bed a little, it seemed whatever Will gave him was working already. "You can let everyone know I'm okay."
"Don't worry I already let them know."
"Can you do me a favor. Can you call Lindsay to come drive me home since my brother here says I can't?"
Hailey was confused and taken back by his request. "You want me to call Lindsay? Erin Lindsay?"
"I know I am sorry you have done more than enough already waiting in the hospital and all. If I can just have my phone, I'll give her a call." He started looking around the room for his phone. "You can go I don't want to interrupt more of your day."
"Jay!" I knew I shouted but it was the only thing that came out of my mouth.
Will was suddenly right next to me and started guiding me out of the room. 'Hailey why don't you wait outside while I examine him."
Next thing I know Will shuts the door and I am standing outside Jay's room still trying to process what just happened. I pace back and forth not sure what's going on until Will comes out.
"Hailey its going to be a little while. Wy don't you go to the waiting room, you'll be more comfortable there."
"Will what's going on?"
"We are going to do an MRI and I want a neurologist to see him. We'll know more afterwards."
"Will I need you to be straight with me."
"I think he might have some short-term memory loss."
"What?"
"He thinks is May 2017."
"You mean 2017 when he and I first met, and he was going to propose to Erin?" Jay had told her about this when they first started their relationship.
"Hey like I said I'm going to have a neurologist see him and then we'll know what's going on for sure. Don't freak out. I am sure everything we'll be okay."
I couldn't speak, I couldn't move. My whole world came crashing down and I couldn't stop the tears that were making my vision blurry.
"Hailey its probably temporary lets just stay calm and we'll get through this."
"How can you ask me to stay calm when my husband doesn't remember we are married and instead is asking for Erin who he loved deeply? I was almost hysterical at this point and then a realization hit me. "Will he doesn't even remember he's going to be a dad does he?" My hand went to the small swell of my stomach where our baby was growing.
