Author Note: So glad you guys are loving this story. The in the last chapter I really wanted to get inside Jay's head. Since we don't know a lot about him in the show. So I am glad you guys enjoyed it. I know the chapter are coming out fast but my muse is following. I can't guarantee it will always be like this. This Chapter is a bit long there was a lot to unpack. I tried my best with the police lingo but it's not my area of expertise. So don't judge me to bad lol. Same goes for the hospital stuff. I hope I did this chapter justice.

Chapter 3: Ambush

It was supposed to be a routine drug bust. The intel came from one of Voight's CI's, they had done the surveillance and the bust was supposed to go down tomorrow. Voight hadn't heard from his CI since he was given the intel about the bust. That made him a little nervous.

After many failed attempts at calling him, he finally he had gotten a call back. He CI was having to have doubts about this whole thing. They were getting ready to take down a major player so he could understand why the he was nervous. Voight just needed to reassure him that everything was going to be fine and no one would know it was him who gave up the intel.

After hanging up with his CI and setting a meet. He decided to take Jay along with him since it was a slow day in Intelligence and he needed to talk to the him anyway. He grabbed his jacket off the back of his chair and headed out his office. Jay was sitting at his desk goofing off with Ruzek. He rolled his eyes at their antics.

Voight's raspy voice broke the relaxed vibe in the room, "Jay your with me."

Jay looked up at Voight nodded his head and grabbed his jacket.

"Everything ok sarge?" Hailey asked.

Voight turned to her and said, "Nothing for you to worry about."

Hailey nodded her head and went back to what she was doing. She knew Voight didn't like to be questioned but she just wanted to make sure everything was ok. She figured from his lack of response that whatever was going down was between him and Jay. She figured she just ask Jay what happened later.

They had been in the car for a while now, when Jay finally to ask Voight where they were going. "Where we heading Sarge?"

"I need to meet with my CI about the bust make sure everything still good."

Jay nods his head, "You usually do this type of thing by yourself or you take Al with you."

"You got a problem Halstead?" Voight asked with mild annoyance.

Jay shook his head, "No problem. I just want to know the real reason for you taking me on this little trip."

Not missing a beat Voight ask, "How have been since the shooting?"

"Good" Jay answered warily. "Been cleared by the docs. Are you worried about me?" Jay asks with a smirk on his face.

"Just checking in and making sure everything is fine."

"Sarge, If you worried about me falling back into a hole you don't need to me I'm fine."

"You're a good cop. Just don't want you falling back into old habits."

"I appreciate it, but what happened before…" Jay blows out a breathe, "There was a lot going on at the time."

"And now?" Voight asks.

"Now when I need to talk to someone I see my counselor. Seriously Sarge, you don't need to worry."

"There something else I wanted to talk to you about."

"What's that?"

"Er…"

Jay's voice stopped whatever Voight was getting ready to say. "That your CI."

"Yea" As they pulled up into the alley parking head on with the other car.

"Guy seems a little jumpy."

The alley way is nestled in between two buildings where the meet is supposed to take place. Jay and Voight exit the car. An eerie feeling pass through Jay as the head toward the man.

"You lookin a little spooked Raymond.

"Yea you would be too if your about to…" No sooner than the words leave his mouth, that multiple gun shots ring out. The first shot hit Raymond right in the head. Jay and Voight return fire in the direction that they the shots were conning from. Jay takes cover and tries to get an eye on the shooter.

"15-21 George shots fired at the police! We are taking heavy fire!"

"Sarge!" When he gets no response he starts to worry. He franticly looks around for Voight and notices his body close to the car.

"Sarge! Sarge!" Jay screams as Voight's body on the ground. Jay runs over to him returning fire as he does. He pulls Voight's body to behind the SUV for coverage. As quickly as the shots started they stop.

"10-1, 10-1! We have an officer down! Repeat we have an officer down! Send back up immediately!"

"Voight! Look at me!" Jay tries to stop the bleeding.

"Come on, Come on! Hank! I need you to keep your eyes open!"

Voight begins open his eyes.

"That's it. Stay with me. Help is on the way."

Dr. Will Halstead waits at the doors of the ED along with Maggie waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Every time they get a call about an officer being shot his mind immediately goes to Jay especially since we was shot not to long ago. As the ambo arrives and the doors open, Will holds doesn't release it until the body is wheeled out and he knows it isn't Jay.

"What have we got?"

"55 year old male with 2 GSWs to the chest. He was unresponsive when we arrived on scene. He regained consciousness while we were in route. "

"Alright we got from here. Take him to Baghdad." Maggie says.

"Is he going to be okay?" Will looks up for the first time at the sound of the broken voice. He knows that voice anywhere.

"I don't know. You got to let us work." As much as he wants to be there for his brother he has a job to do. He heads into room to work on Voight.

Jay tries to follow Will but Natalie stops him for going him from following.

She notices the blood on Jay. "Jay?" Natalie notices the blood all over him. "Jay are you hurt?" Jay ignores him looking he follows Voight as they enter the ED.

Jay shakes his head no and she breathes a sigh of relief.

"Ok, that's good but you need to let them work." Jay just nods his head and lets Natalie move him away from the room. "Why don't you go clean up?"

He moves away from Natalie and heads toward the bathrooms but he stops as the rest of his unit enters the ED. Al is the first one to approach him followed by Hailey, Ruzek, Burgess, Atwater, and Dawson.

"What happened?" Al asks.

"They were waiting for us. The whole thing was an set up! We never should have been there!"

"Calm down, Jay. You need to breathe" Al says he lays a hand on Jay's shoulder.

"I'm good. They took the CI out first. The shots kept coming. We returned fire but Voight got hit in the mist of everything." Jay pauses before he continues, "Al…he took two the chest." He says in a small voice.

Hailey comes up to Jay, "Are you hurt?" she says as she notices all the blood on him.

"No… the blood's not mine It's Voight's."

Silence follows Jay's statement and they all watch as Voight's body is wheeled out of the ED. Will heads toward the unit to give them an update.

"We finally got him stabilized and he is on his way to surgery. He's in good hands with Dr. Rhodes."

"Is he going to make it?" Burgess asks.

"I can't answer that right now. We will know more after he is out of surgery."

Maggie walks over to them she hold up a plastic bag, "Here are Sergeant Voight's gun, badge and phone."

Al takes the bag from Maggie.

"Kid go get yourself cleaned up." Al says as he walks away. "I gotta make a call."

"Come on. I think I have something in my locker you can wear." Will says. Will turns to the team and says "Why don't you guys head up the waiting room.

The drive from the airport to Chicago Med seemed like eternity. She stared out the window watching the city lights passing by. She had so much on her mind right now but the most important thing was if Voight was okay. The man saved her life and became a father figure to her and she wasn't ready to lose him from her life yet. The sleeping child next to her let out a content sigh. How she wished to be her daughter right now. Sleeping without a care in the world.

The car pulls up at the entrance of Chicago Med and Erin gets out and pulls the sleeping child out of her car seat. "Come on sweet pea." The little girl doesn't even stir as her mother moves her into her arms. She head into the ED looking she spots a familiar face in Natalie.

"Natalie"

Natalie looks up at the sound of the raspy voice calling her name. "Oh my god Erin" she replies.

"Hi, umm is there any word on Hank?"

"No, but let me take you up to surgery. The rest of the team is up there."

"Thank you."

Natalie gives Erin a small smile as the head toward the elevators. The ride up the surgery waiting room is silent. The walk down the hallway seems like it takes forever.

Burgess is the first to notice Erin. To say she is surprised would be an understatement but it's the child in her arms that really takes her by surprise. Before she knows it her mouth is opening and she is calling her name "Erin"

Jay heads snaps at Burgess calling Erin's name. He turns his head toward Burgess wondering why she's talking about Erin. What he doesn't expect is to see the shock on everyone's face expect Al's. He takes a breathe and follows Burgess's line of vision and sees the face he has been wishing to see for the past three years. Jay stands and opens his mouth to speak but no words come out.

She stares at Jay. He looked like he was going to say something but nothing comes out. She sees Will approaching and turns her attention toward him.

"How is he?" Erin asks.

Will turns toward the voice that he hadn't heard in years and replies "It's not looking good right now. The managed to remove the bullets but they are having trouble controlling the bleeding. He flatlined once.

"Oh my god." Erin whispers. Al moves closer and puts his arm around her. "Will please tell me his going to make."

"I can't make any promises. They are doing everything they can right now. He's strong and he's a fighter. I'll come back with an update soon." He pats Jay on the shoulder as he walks away.

The little girl in Erin's arms begins to stir and a tiny voice breaks the tension in the room, "Mommy where are we?"

Next chapter we find out Voight's fate and how everyone is feeling seeing Erin again and the realization that she has daughter.
