A/N- After watching #SKINstead i got super motivated for this story so yeah :) And with school and stuff I may only be able to update once or twice a week, not every day or every other day like i used to :/ its just too hard with my health problems at the moment. Anyways, enjoy this update and review please :)
Erin sighs tiredly, the moment her head hit the pillow after comforting Emi, she started to cry again.
"I wish Jay was here..." Erin sighs to herself. Jay had to go in because of a new case they caught and would probably be on a long shift until it was solved.
As Erin dragged herself out of bed and into the nursery, she heard Emi stop crying for a few moments only to have her scream bloody murder after. Erin turns the light on and rushes over to the crib, Emi appeared to have vomited and her face was beet red.
"Poor girl, you're burning up" Erin picks Emi up and reaches for the thermometer on a shelf. Erin looks at the thermometer to a high number, 102.4. Erin quickly strips Emi to her diaper and grabs a damp washcloth, she carefully dabs the washcloth over her forehead and belly. Erin picks Emi up so her head was on her chest as she patted her back. Suddenly she feels vomit all over her chest, Erin continued to rub the child's back as she finished up vomiting.
Erin lays Emi on the big bed and props pillows around her so she wouldn't roll off. She enters the bathroom and removes her tank top and washes her chest, she slips on a new t-shirt and puts a burp rag over her shoulder.
"My poor sick baby" Erin frowns as she holds her coughing baby. Erin was temporarily deaf from the blood-curdling scream coming from Emi. Erin started to get nervous, Emi has never been this sick before. Her first thought is to call Jay, he doesn't answer so Erin decides to bring Emi to the emergency room. She dresses Emi in clothes, straps her in the car-seat then she heads off to the hospital.
"Hi, my baby has a bad fever and she keeps vomiting and coughing." Erin explains trying not to sound frantic. The lady gets basic info from Erin before someone guides them to an examination room. Erin watches the nurse get Emi's vitals before she turned to Erin.
"How long has she been doing this?" The nurse asks.
"About a day, but she's gotten worse over night." Erin says.
"Is Emi okay?!" Jay asks as he rushes towards Erin. He wasn't able to get there right when it happened because he didn't get the message until he got back to the precinct where he left his phone on accident and opened it which had several missed calls and texts.
"They think she has pneumonia... It's bad." Erin's voice quivers as she speaks, she didn't think that her baby could go from happy to sick in a hospital in just 3 days.
"Can we see her?" Jay asks. Erin's eyes water, she had to be taken out of the room when Emi briefly stopped breathing.
"They're trying to get her stable, she stopped breathing momentarily and her fever is getting higher" Erin chokes.
"She'll be okay, she's a fighter like you. She'll fight this." Jay soothes, despite wanting to break down. He knows he has to stay strong for Erin, he knows she's trying her best not to break down either.
"I hope so... Jay I can't lose her" Erin lets a few tears fall from her face, Jay immediately wipes them away and pulls her in for a hug.
They stay like that until the doctor emerges from the room to talk with them.
"She's stable for now, her fever is still high but you can go in and be with her." The doctor tells them.
"Thank you doctor" Jay smiles and shakes the doctors hand before him and Erin enter the room.
"Fight for us baby girl, we love you so much" Jay whispers to Emi as he strokes her little arm. She is sleeping and he doesn't want to wake her.
"She's so peaceful when she sleeps" Jay says to Erin as he pulls her into his side.
"She really is. I have faith in her, she's a fighter" Erin sighs as she watches her daughter sleep.
