"I'm serious let's get married"
"Hails," Jay started to say before being cut off by their phones ringing. His with Will calling and hers with Trudy calling. Hailey quickly snapped out of her trance and answered her phone, "Trudy, is everything ok?" "Yeah, Kim is out of surgery and is in the ICU. Stable," Hailey could hear Trudy let out a sigh of relief. "Thank God, umm we will be right there. Thanks, Trudy," she says hanging up and grabbing her coat. She pauses halfway to the door and the flood gates open. Jay hears her quiet sobs from across the room as he is grabbing his jacket. He quickly walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her, kissing her temple before saying, "Kim is good, we're good, everything is good. Let's go to the hospital ok?" All she does is nod. Then they go. Hailey doesn't remember the ride to Med or having Will walk them to the door of Kim's ICU room where Adam, Trudy, and Kev already were. The first thing that she remembers is hours later. Kev had gone to her apartment to take care of Mackayla and Trudy had gone home so she could be here in the morning with food. She is sitting beside Kim's bed, unable to sleep, staring into space when she hears movement in the bed next to her. She quickly snaps out of her trance to see Kim slowly coming around. "Hey, hey, hey, easy Kim," Hailey quickly says as Kim starts looking around frantically. "Hey, hey, it's me, Hailey, you're in the hospital, ok, you're ok," she says as Jay and Adam both start to stir. Jay is the first fully awake and coherent of the two. "Oh hey girl, I'm gonna go get a doctor or nurse," Jay says before walking out to the nurse's station. Once Adam understood what was going on he was right beside Kim, talking to her to keep her calm.
*The Next Morning*
Trudy brought coffee for everyone and to say hi to Kim before heading back to the district. Kev came back after dropping Mackayla off at school. Eventually, Kim told the guy to drag Adam to the food court and get some food. Adam reluctantly agreed once Hailey said she wouldn't leave Kim's side. After a minute of Hailey staring into space, Kim finally asks, "You ok? You have been weirdly out of it since I woke up." Hailey hesitates before quietly saying, "I think I asked Jay to marry me last night." "I'm sorry what! DidI just hear you correctly?" Kim says after almost spitting out her water. "You did what?" she asks after regaining her composer. "Yeah. I came home, he was talking about coming here to wait for you to get out of surgery, and everything was going through my head was how much I love him and I don't want to be without him and I said it. Holy shit. I seriously just asked him to marry me." "Hey, Hailey, breath, ok it can't be that bad," she says letting Hailey take a deep breath, "Do you really love Jay?" "More than anything. He makes me so happy and I just hope I have not messed all this up. Cause he has not said a word to me since," Hailey says before her breathing starts to quicken again. "Hey calm down. Well, I have known Jay for a really long time and I don't think I have ever seen him happier than he is with you. Seriously, you know what happened with Erin, so you choose to stay here instead of running off to the FBI, I think, just showed him that you were serious. You remember I told you after I told Adam about the baby he asked me to marry him, again. Well, that was out of fear or panic, not of sound mind. We weren't together, we were friends. So some advice from a friend is, do you see yourself asking him when it is just you and him on a normal day? No stress from me, or the team's drama. And if that is yes, then I think you have your answer and you need to talk to him. If not, you probably should talk to him. Either way, you should probably talk to him. Either way, you should probably talk to him. And either way, there is no way you are going to lose him," Kim says watching the wheels in Hailey's head turn. After a minute of silence, Adam and Jay with the addition of Kevin walk back into the room. After a few minutes of small talk, Kim sees Jay and Hailey excuse themselves. "They good?" Adam asks Kim with a raised eyebrow. "Yeah, I think they will be soon," Kim says with a hint of a smile on her face.
*Flashforward*
"You ready?" Kim asks giving Hailey a look over. "Yeah, I think so," Hailey says smoothing out her dress, "oh my gosh this is actually happening," she giggles out. Kim comes up behind her and wraps her arms around her shoulder, "It is," she says. Before they walk out Kim says, "I told you so." "What?" "Told you you wouldn't lose him."
