When Jay returned there were now 3 nurses in the room and they had called in a doctor.
J- Is something wrong?
D- No just the opposite Det. Halstead. Agent Halstead's ICP is down she is breathing over the vent. So rather than give her more meds we want to take her off the vent and let her wake up.
J- What happened to a week?
D- Your wife is a miracle and remarkable. She has turned around in hours.
J- Can I get a second opinion from her local doctor?
D- Of course. Same one as the previous tests were sent to.
J- Yes.
D- We can't wait till morning. So will you be able to get a hold of her now?
J- Yes, she is close to Erin and I. I have her personal number and will call her in a few minutes.
D- Ok I will be at the nurse's station. You have 15 minutes.
Jay stays in the room close too Erin as he calls Will.
W- Hello
J- Check Nat's Email.
W- More tests?
J- Yeah they want to take Erin off the vent now.
W- Wow, Hey Nat put your password in, please.
N- Why?
W- More tests for Erin. They want to take her off the vent.
N- Oh wow.
After a couple minutes Jay hears whispers between Will and Nat
J- Will? Nat?
W- Miraculous. He isn't jumping the gun. Also, I know him she couldn't be in better hands.
J- Thanks Will, Nat sorry to wake you. I just knew he wouldn't send it to Will. I thought that Will knew your password.
N- He does. He knew I would want to look too. And now Will's child is on my bladder. Update us once she is off the vent.
J- Thanks, talk to you guys later.
Jay heads out to find the doctor.
J- Thanks for waiting.
D- And did Dr. Manning and Dr. Halstead agree?
J- Yes, they did. How did you know?
D- I saw Will at a conference a couple of months ago. I know Dr. Manning is about to have her 2nd child any day and should be on leave now. So I figured you were using her as a stepping stone.
J- No one should put together that you knew Nat is related so it shouldn't come back on you.
D- I know. That is why I allowed it. Are we ready then?
J- Yes let's go-ahead
D- I will have you wait in the Hall.
As Jay stands in the hallway he decides to call Hank.
H- Jay, is everything alright?
J- Yeah they decided to take her off the vent early.
H- Oh wow, what did Will and Nat say?
J- They agree with the doctor's assessment.
H- Do you want me to come back up there?
J- I will leave it up to you and Olivia. I am sure she would love to see you.
H- I will be there soon then.
After Hank hangs up he gets up to get dress and wakes Olivia.
O- What's wrong? You're dressed.
H- They decided to take Erin off the Vent now. I am going to head to the hospital.
O- I will be up as soon as Rollins gets her.
H- I love you
O- Love you too Sgt. Voight
H- Bye Lt. Voight
Hank heads to the hospital. As the doctor finishes up he comes back and lets Jay head back in.
D- She did great. We have her on some oxygen but otherwise, she should be awake shortly I am going to wait around till she wakes. Press the call button when she does.
J- Thank you. Her dad should be up shortly as well.
D- Good. We will send him in.
Jay sits back down in the chair, grabs Erin's hand and just waits.
H- Jay?
J- Hey Hank.
H- How is she?
J- Good just waiting for her to wake up.
H- Any time now?
J- Yeah the doctor said removing the vent went well.
They quickly fell back into silence. Hank moves the other chair in the room near the bed and grabs Erin's other hand and waits.
E- Jay
J- I'm here babe. Hank is here too.
E- Dad
H- Right here baby girl.
E- Where's Madeline.
H- With Olivia, its 4 AM no reason to drag her out of bed.
E- How long was I out?
J- Miraculously only about 24 hours
H- As always you went and proved all the doctors wrong. They thought you would be on the vent for about a week.
D- Agent Halstead, it is good to see you awake. Det. Halstead, Sgt. Voight could I have you step to the side for a couple of minutes.
E- How long am I stuck here? I am ready to move back to Chicago.
D- Whoa now, you just woke up. It will be at least 3 days and then you might not be cleared to fly.
J- We are planning on driving back anyway.
D- We can talk when we release Erin. Otherwise, I will leave you to talk. I will be back at rounds.
E- How bad is it?
H- Your injuries?
E- No the op fallout.
J- They haven't told us much more then they have everyone.
E- My cover?
H- Blown
J- Hank!
H- I am not going to lie to her.
J- I am going to step out and call Will. Are you staying?
H- Yes Olivia is just going to meet me here at 8.
Jay on the phone with Will.
W- Hello
J- She is awake and fine already asking when we can take her back to Chicago.
W- That's good and sounds like Erin.
J- Very. Hank made it back shortly before she woke up.
W- Perfect.
J- Tell Nat to hold that baby in for another week. We should be home by then
W- I will let you text her that and dig your own grave. She isn't speaking to me.
J- Do I want to know?
W- You remember how bad Erin got at this point in her pregnancy.
J- Ture but she never stopped talking to me.
W- Shut up and go cuddle your wife.
J- Night man, Thanks for everything.
W- Night
While out in the hall he decides to call Upton.
U- Hey partner.
J- You sound awake.
U- Caught a crime scene. Everyone is working.
J- And are you sitting in Hank's Chair?
U- Of course, How's Erin?
J- Awake they took her off the vent early.
U- That is awesome. Any timeline on your return.
J- Not yet, I figured you would want to hang onto the acting Sgt position for as long as possible.
U- Of course, that but we all want the family back together. Although I am sure I will be getting stuck with a new partner with Erin back.
J- You worried?
U- No I am sure it will be Adam and then Hank once Kim is back.
J- Probably. Did you drag Kim out of bed this early?
U- I am not evil! She is here but that is Adam's fault for waking her up when he got up.
J- Fair Noah asleep in the break room?
U- Yes don't tell Olivia she might kill me.
J- Not you, just blame it on Adam.
U- True. Got to go. Call when you know when you will be back.
J- Will do you going to fill in everyone?
U- Of course
Jay then heads back to Erin's room.
