Chicago Med:

Dr. Marcel and Will walk into Jay's room. Hailey moves away to give them a clear path. Will smiles an acknowledgment.

"Mr. Halstead." Dr. Marcel starts

Jay opens his eyes, the best he can at the sound of the doctors' voice. His breathing still a bit laboured since the ice was applied. "Jay." He corrects how he wants to be addressed.

"Alright, Jay." Marcel says with a smile "You seem to be having trouble. You're not breathing deep enough."

Jay is listening to Dr. Marcel then looks to Will. He raises his left hand over his sternum.

"Sharp….." He starts in a low painful whisper, " deeper…."

Will understands what Jay is trying to say.

"You're having sharp pain over," he motions over Jay's chest with both hands, "when you take deeper breaths."

Jay nods, thankful that Will understands. Will shakes his head because Jay didn't say anything about it until now but he knew Jay was in pain. His vitals don't lie.

"Is the ice helping at all?" Marcel continues

"This….is….better." Jay answers.

"The crushed ice?"

Jay nods, "Not…..as….heavy." He elaborates with a small wince.

Marcel's face brightens and smiles, "That's encouraging." He looks to Will and then back to Jay.

"But what we're going to do is help you out some more." Marcel tells Jay, meanwhile Will is preparing an oxygen cannula . "You'll be put on a stronger pain med in a day or two ; I'd like to see your concussion clear first. But for now some oxygen and ice therapy, then reassess how you're doing."

Jay nods his understanding. Will laces the tubes around his ears and adjusts the cannula to his nose. The tubing is awkward and skewed on his left side due to the swelling of his broken cheekbone but after a few attempts Will gets it to sit just right. Surprisingly Jay doesn't fuss and endures his brother's movements.

Marcel looks back to Hailey and offers a small smile. She is concerned that Jay isn't making a fuss or even asked about going home.

"There you go," Will announces. "It'll be taken off when it comes time to ice your face. But until then, no playing with it." He playfully commands with a smile. Surprised at no reaction from Jay. Jay just simply conveys that he heard with a slight nod and eye contact.

Marcel is looking over the monitors then picks up a temperature wand taking Jay's temperature. Stoned face he puts on his stethoscope.

"A quick listen Jay." placing it on the side of his chest. "Breath normal."

Jay tries to take deeper breaths anyway and winces through them.

As Marcel returns his stethoscope to around his neck. Jay, relieved, eyes closed, returns to his normal breathing. Marcel exchanges a look with Will, confirming. Will's face falls slightly, he takes his own stethoscope and listens for himself. Jay instinctively takes a deeper breath.

"No Jay, normal." and Jay relaxes. "Easy now." Will says when he's done.

Marcel's pager alerts. He looks at it. "I'm wanted in the ER." looking down at Jay, "Try and get some rest. I'll see you in the morning."

"Thanks Crockett." Will says and Marcel leaves the room.

Will sighs at the sight of Jay.

"Don't." Jay says and closes his eyes.

"I'm allowed to worry." Will answers looking over Jay's monitors.

"Mmm"

"It's late. Rest up." Will says but is not sure it was heard as Jay appears to be asleep. Will smiles again and walks towards Hailey. He motions to the door and Hailey walks out of the room with Will close behind.

"You're worried." Hailey asks as she turns to face Will in the hallway outside Jay's room.

"Yes." He says, hands on hips. "I'm worried about complications and with him breathing short, not clearing his lungs, will most definitely lead to complications, more like starting to."

Hailey listens, her face expressing concern as Will speaks.

"Hailey?" Will asks, "did Jay mention not feeling well or anything?"

Hailey's facial expression of 'Are you serious?' says it all.

"I know, I know. He wouldn't say anything anyway." Will quickly says, "it's just that, I went to check on him about two hours ago, and you see him, he's not his cranky self."

"I noticed that too." Hailey adds. "If you don't mind me asking, what was that about with Dr. Marcel?"

"His temperature is up from when he arrived, hence why I asked if he wasn't feeling well, I was hoping it was just from the injuries but he's slightly congested. That congestion couldn't have developed in the past few hours. He's probably just at the start of something, then this happened." Will shakes his head.

"Do you mind if I sit with him, just for a little bit?" Hailey asks. "I know he needs his rest."

"No, go right ahead. I'm sure he'd rather see your face than mine." Will adds. "Please text me if you need anything or if he becomes unruly."

"Thanks, Will." Hailey says.

Will walks away and Hailey quietly walks into Jay's room. She is convinced he's sleeping. She checks the time and sighs. His rest will come to an end in 10 minutes when the nurse will remove the ice from his chest. She walks to the chair.

"Unruly?" Jay's tired voice asks.

"Nothing wrong with your hearing. Did you hear our whole conversation?"

Jay nods 'No'. "Just unruly."

"You should be resting." Hailey states walking up to Jay's right side.

He watches her walk up. "Nurse'll be here soon." He says, still whispering, is breathing a bit more smooth.

Hailey notices the small improvement, "Liking the ice?" As she points to his chest.

Jay nods his affirmative and closes his eyes. "Arrested?"

Hailey rolls her eyes as he asks about the case.

"Yes, all were arrested and charged. Drugs are off the street. That offender named Red is accusing Kevin of Police brutality."

Jay is listening. He tries to open his eyes at Hailey's last words.

"I didn't see what happened. Everyone," she pauses as she looks at Jay's injured right shoulder and then his wrist, "were already cuffed when I got on scene." She says with a sigh but looking back at Jay's face she sees he is asleep. He looks the most relaxed she's seen since she got there. She smiles to herself and settles into the chair by Jay's bed.
