They were still in the waiting room waiting for an update on the rest of their fallen crew. About 30 minutes later Dr. Choi and Dr Bekker came out in the waiting room. "So first of all Hailey has a severe infection in her leg which was caused by the structure that came down. We don't know yet but we may need to amputate." Dr Choi explaned. "But you can save the leg right."Asked Antonio. "As I said we don't know yet" Ethan replied. Ava stepped forward. "Ok so Erin has cuts and bruises a broken leg, a severe concussion she still hasn't regained conciousness yet" Dr Bekker explained. "But she's gonna be ok right?" voight asked. "Well when she came in she crashed so we had to interbate her and she hasn't started breathing on her own so we have to keep the tube in until she can breathe on her own. You can see them both now Hailey is in room 223 and Erin is in 224." said Ava as her and Dr Choi left. Voight, Jay and Antonio went to Hailey and Erins room. Antonio visited Hailey while Voight and Jay visited Erin. Antonio walked into Hailey's room "Hey Hails how you doing?" "I'm doing good how is everyone else?"
"Natalie is gonna be fine in time, Maggie Kevin and Kim are also fine just some scraps Erin has a broken leg, head wound she's intubated but there hopeful that she will be fine in a couple of days same as Natalie" Antonio explained.
"What about Gabby?" Hailey asked. "She's in surgery but it dosen't look good she coded on the way to med we are all hopeful that she will make it. Casey is so worried." Oh god how is Jay after Adam and Will's death?" "Too be honest I don't know he seems to be more distant, he just needs time to process what has happened" Hailey agreed as Antonio said goodbye then he visited Erin.
"Hey how is she doing?" "She's doing ok we won't know more until she wakes up " Voight says worring looking at her in that hospital bed fragile vulreable. "I'm going to go get some coffee any of you want one" Antonio asked as he left the room. "Yeah thank you" Jay and Hank replied.
Jay was alarmed when he heard the heart machine beping like crazy and then a massive crash noise coming directly from Hailey's room. Jay and Hank sprung into action and rushed into hailey's room. "Hailey you ok? why are you out of bed?" Jay asked as he grabbed Hailey just in time before she collapsed to the floor because of her broken leg. "I'm fine i wanted to see how Erin is doing" "You can't be walking around on that leg did you forget that you popped the bone out and you have an infection" Hailey started feeling funny. "Hailey what's wrong?" "I don't know i feel funny i can't see properly" just as she said that she started seizing "Put her on the bed secure her head lets give her somemthing to calm her down" after 3 miutes she finally stopped fitting they intubated her and took her for a head ct to see if it has damaged her brain. Antonio came back to see Voight and Jay standing at the door of Hailey's room, "What the hell happened?" Antonio asked getting worried. "She had a seizure they took her to get a head ct to rule out any damage done" Voight replied as he walked back to Erins room. Antonio and Jay walked back into the waiting room. "Hey Antonio, Jay how's Erin and Hailey" "Erin is fine she's stable but ummm..." Jay started trailing off. "Jay what is it?" "Ok so Hailey had a seizure so they had to take her up for a head ct to rule out any perminate damage" "But she's gonna be ok right?"Atwater asked "We don't know yet, just have to pray for the best" Antonio said. They all sat down waiting on news on Hailey and Gabby.
About 40 minutes Dr Rhodes came out "How is she"Casey asked. "I'm sorry but it's not good news, we got the chunk of shrapnel from her abdomen but she coded during the surgery we got her back but she was dead for at least 35 minutes. We are afraid that she will never wake up, she's brain dead!" "NO SHE'S NOT DEAD SHE'S ALIVE I WANT TO SEE HER PLEASE YOUR LYING" Casey saying not wanting to agree of what Connor just said. "I will take you to see her"Connor said. Severide went with him for support. They got to Gabby's room and Matt sat beside her "I'm so sorry baby please don't go please" Matt says gripping Gabby's hand. She was slowly dying. "Why is her heart rate and oxygen sats going down?"Severide asked. "We couldnt repair the injury to her stomach because she had coded for so long there was no point she would be dead either way I'm sorry"
Back in Erins room - Jay and Voight sat in there. Jay had told Voight about Gabby. Then Severide walked into the room "It's not good she's gonna die in the next few hours" "But if she was brain dead surely Casey would take as long as possible to decide?" Jay asked. "They couldn't repair the damage in her stomach caused by the shrapnel because she had coded for so long that she would be dead either way so we need to find Antonio. Do you know where Antonio is?" "He should be with Hailey they moved her across this floor to the icu" Jay told him. "Ok thanks" Sevride then wandered off to try and find Antonio. He went up to a nurses station "Do you know where i could find Hailey Upton?" "That room right there" a nurse said as she pointed to the room where she was. "Hey Antonio I need you to come with me" "Why what's happened is it Gabby, it is isn't it she's dead isn't she God" Antonio says while freaking out "She's gonna die in the next few hours, she's brain dead and her stomach is still bleeding she's gonna bleed out so you need to come with me and say goodbye Im so sorry" Severide said as a tear fell from his face, Gabby and Him had a great friendship and with Shay Gabby helped them out so much and now she's gonna die. Kelly guided Antonio to Gabby's room where they said goodbye "Hey sis it's gonna be ok you go, we'll be fine" Antonio said as he broke down. Antonio had to get out of there get some fresh air. Casey went to the toilet and Severide went back to the waiting room to tell everyone they should also say goodbye. All of them went to Gabby's room one by one sat next to her relived memories of her told stories. "We will make a firefighter outta you" Hermann was saying livng a memory "You did good Gabby you did good" They had all finished but Kidd she sat down "Hey Gabby, umm, remember when we were at that firefighters competition and we pranked that young kid from firehouse 92 he crapped his pants. Your jokes were always funny and you are the best person I know Gabby Dawson I'm gonna miss you so much" Stella said as she cryed by Gabby's side. They all sat in Gabby's room as she died peacefully they all left shortly after.
Voight went back to Erins room "Hey Kiddo, Gabby just died" Voight says shedding a tear from his eye trying to hide it. A few more hours past and Erin was still not awake Hank decided to stay with her that night just in case she woke up he didn't want her to wake up alone. Voight was awake just staring at Erin then her hand moved, Hank moved towards the bed "Erin, Kiddo can you hear me?" Then she opened her eyes and looked directly at Hank. "somebody get Dr Bekker!" After a couple of minutes Dr Bekker walking into Erin's room. "Hey Erin it's Ava, can you hear me? Blink once for no twice for yes" Erin blinked twice. "Ok Erin can you feel this " Ava started touching her feet with a metal hammer that they use to test whether someone has full function. she blinked twice. "Cant you take the tube out?" Voight asked. "No not until she can breathe properly on her own" "How do you know when she can breathe properly?" "Well her oxygen sats will go up to 98 to 99%, when she can breathe on her own with the tube she will start coughing and choking and when that happens we will relax her and take the tube out. But for now we will make you as comfortable as possible."
A week went by Erin was still intubated Hailey still has an infection, Natalie was intubated still. Antonio went on his daily visits to visit Erin, Hailey and Natalie. he visited natalie first told her what was going on then visited Hailey told the bad guys they have caught and how the whole team miss her and Erin. then last but not least he visited Erin. He walked in and saw she was sleeping so he just sat beside her. He sat there for about 10 minutes then she woke up and starting coughing and choking "Help, get me Dr Bekker!" Dr Bekker rushed in gave Erin some medicine then slowly took the tube out Erin let out a big cough and started gaging. Ava got suction and cleared her airway so she didn't choke. "Hey Erin welcome back. Do you know who this is?" she said pointing at Antonio. "An..to..nio?" Erin croked from her throat being so sore. "Ok Erin good news you seem to be able to know people and know objects so we can rule off any brain damage but we still do need to check whether you can walk independently but we can't do that because you broke your leg" Ava started chatting. Antonio stepped out of the room to ring Hank and tell him the good news. "Voight?" Answered Voight as he picked up the phone. "Hey its Antonio Erin is awake she woke up like 15 minutes ago" Antonio said. "Ok i'm on my way". Voight got to the hospital about 10 minutes later. He walked into Erins room "Hey Kiddo" "Hey Hank"Erin says as she coughs up mucus. "Why does she have that cough?" Voight asked. "We don't think it's anything serious but we will keep an eye on it" Ava explained. "How long am I gonna be here?" Erin asked. "A week maybe 2 but we need to get your oxygen sats up so save your breath relax" ava demanded. "Hey Hank what were you saying while i was intubated?I could hear some bits when you came to visit" "There is so easy way to say this but Gabby died last week" "Oh god how?" Erin asked sounding confused. "What do you mean? You, Natalie, Maggie, Gabby, Kim and Kevin were involved in a car crash" Antonio says sounding worried now. "Oh! So why is Hailey in the hospital?" "A structure fell on her which led to a infection but she will hopefully make a full recovery." Dr Bekker explained before she left the room. They had all forgotton she was in the room. After a while they all left giving Erin some time to rest.
