Vanessa woke up feeling a little off but thought nothing of it. Her stomach hurt but she thought it was just from all of the snacks she had eaten with the team the previous night during their movie marathon. She went and showered and her stomach felt a little better afterward. She finished getting ready and then went downstairs to the kitchenware Hailey was making breakfast.
"Hey, I'm making hashbrowns do you want some?" Hailey asked.
"No I'm good I'm not hungry thank you though" Vanessa replied,
"You ok?" Hailey asked.
"Yeah I just ate a lot last night" Vanessa replied.
"Ok let me know if anything changes," Hailey told her.
"Ok I will thank you" Vanessa responded.
They both went to work together 20 minutes later. Jay was acting Sargent since both Trudy and Voight were away at a conference. They started on their case and worked on getting details
"Everyone goes get lunch and be back in an hour and a half," Jay told everyone.
Hailey, jay, and Vanessa all went to a salad place for lunch and talked until they had to go back. When they got back Vanessa's stomach started to get worse and Hailey noticed.
"Hey, you ok?" Hailey asked Vanessa when she walked into the breakroom.
"Yeah, my stomach just hurts a little I just need some water," Vanessa said as she was grabbing a water bottle out of the fridge.
"I have some tums on my desk they should help," Hailey told her.
They went back to their desks and Hailey got Vanessa some tums from her desk.
"Thanks," Vanessa said as she took the tums.
"Of course let me know if you get worse" Hailey replied.
The team continued looking for details so they could get enough information to get a warrant. An hour later Vanessa ran out of the bullpen and to the bathroom. Jay and Hailey looked at each other and Hailey stood up and ran after her. When she got to the bathroom Vanessa was leaning over the toilet throwing up. Hailey pulled her hair back, rubbed her back, and comforted her.
"You're ok it's ok I've got you ssh" Hailey soothed.
Once Vanessa was done Hailey helped her stand up and walk to the sink. Vanessa washed her hands and splashed her face off with water and went and sat on the bench.
"I'll be right back," Hailey said.
She quickly went to the bullpen and walked up to Jay.
"Vanessa's throwing up. I need to take her home" Hailey told him.
"Ok get her home and stay with her. I'll call you when we're done for the day. Tell Vanessa I hope she feels better.
"Ok thank you" Hailey replied.
Hailey went and got Vanessa and they drove home. Once they got home they both changed into sweats. Vanessa threw up again a couple of minutes later and Hailey comforted her the whole time. Once she was done Hailey got her back to bed and went to work on paperwork on her laptop in the living room. Just as she was finishing up Vanessa ran out of her room and to the bathroom. Hailey quickly followed with after her.
"Ssh your ok it's ok just let it all out I've got you" Hailey soothed while holding her hair back and rubbing her back.
Once she was done Vanessa splashed her face off with water then they both went and sat on the couch. Hailey grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around Vanessa then turned on the tv. They watched tv for an hour before Jay called.
J Hey I sent everyone home because we weren't getting anywhere. How's Vanessa doing?
H she's ok she's thrown up a couple of times.
J ok I can stop by and bring some soup.
H that would be great thank you
Jay stopped at Panera and picked up some chicken noodle soup, he got there 30 minutes later.
'How are you feeling Vanessa?" Jay asked.
"Awful" Vanessa replied.
"I'm sorry I brought you some soup," Jay told her.
"Thanks" Vanessa replied.
"I want to take your temperature before you eat," Hailey told her.
Hailey took Vanessa's temperature and it was 101.7.
"You have a 101.7 degree fever I'm going to get you some meds to get that down," Hailey said as she walked towards the kitchen to get some Advil.
Vanessa took the Advil and they all ate and talked. After dinner they put on a movie. 30 minutes into the movie Vanessa ran into the bathroom and threw up. Hailey comforted her and Jay stayed on the couch. Once she was done they both went back to the couch and Vanessa went and laid down in a fetal position. Hailey gave jay a worried look.
"She feels warmer than she was 45 minutes ago" Hailey whispered.
"I want to take your temperature again you feel warmer," Hailey told Vanessa.
She took her temperature and it was 103. When Jay heard this he got worried. He was the same way Vanessa was when he had appendicitis a couple of years prior.
"Your fever went up to 103 I'm going to get you some cool washcloths," Hailey told her.
Vanessa tried to sit up but laid back down and groaned in pain. This worried Jay even more.
"Where does it hurt Vanessa?" Jay asked.
"I dont know" Vanessa replied.
"Ok I know it hurts but can you roll onto your back for me? I want to make sure it's not your appendix" Jay told her.
Vanessa slowly rolled onto her back.
"Does it hurt when I push here?" Jay asked while pushing on her lower right side.
"No" Vanessa replied.
"Ok good so it's not your appendix," Jay told her. He had some basic training in the military so he knew how to check for appendicitis and wanted to make sure it wasn't that.
Hailey went and got some washcloths and brought them over to Vanessa.
"I want to get your fever down," she told her.
Hailey got the washcloths on Vanessa and they unpaused their movie. 30 minutes later Hailey took off the washcloths and took Vanessa's temperature again and it was down to 102. Vanessa fell asleep a couple of minutes later. Once their movie was done Hailey woke Vanessa up so she could take more medicine before bed.
"Hey I need you to wake up and take some medicine then you can go back to sleep," Hailey told her while getting the medicine.
"I'm going to head out I hope you feel better Vanessa you can both take the day off tomorrow I dont want you to be alone," Jay said to them both.
:" thanks" they both replied.
Vanessa took her meds and they both went upstairs.
"Do you want me to stay in your room with you?" Hailey asked.
"Yeah" Vanessa replied.
Both girls had a hard time when they were sick because of their childhoods so they usually slept in each other's room when they were sick. They both brushed their teeth and got in bed. On the way, Hailey grabbed a trashcan and put it by Vanessa just in case. They both fell asleep soon after crawling into bed. Vanessa woke up an hour later and comforted her.
"Ssh your ok honey it's ok get it all out" Hailey soothed.
"It hurts" Vanessa cried.
"I know I know ssh" Hailey soothed while rubbing her back.
Do you want the heating pad?" Hailey asked.
"Yes please," Vanessa replied.
Hailey went and quickly got the heating pad and brought it back to her.
"Thanks" Vanessa replied.
'Try and get some sleep" Hailey told her.
Vanessa threw up multiple more times that night and Hailey comforted her through each one.
They both slept in that morning. When they woke up Hailey asked Vanessa how she was feeling.
"How are you feeling?" Hailey asked
"Awful still" Vanessa replied.
"I'm sorry let's go get breakfast and medicine," Hailey said.
Hailey made them both smoothies and got the thermometer and Vanessa's medicine and brought them over to the couch.
"I want to take your temperature real quick you still feel warm," Hailey told her.
Hailey took her temperature and it was 102.
"Your temperature is 102," Hailey told her.
They both drank their smoothies and talked for a bit before turning on a movie. Vanessa threw up her breakfast a couple of minutes into the movie and Hailey comforted her.
"Ssh your ok it's ok just breathe" Hailey soothed while holding his hair and rubbing her back.
Once she was done Hailey helped her get cleaned up and they walked back to the couch. They unpaused their movie and soon after Vanessa fell asleep with her head on Hailey's shoulder. An hour later she threw up again and Hailey helped her through it. Vanessa threw up 4 more times before lunch.
"I know you're not feeling good and probably not hungry but I think you should eat some broth I dont want you getting dehydrated or throwing up straight bile," Hailey told her.
"oK" Vanessa replied.
Hailey heated up some chicken broth for Vanessa and made a sandwich for herself. They both slowly ate while watching tv. 10 minutes later Vanessa threw up again.
"Ssh it's ok your safe I've got you" Hailey soothed.
Vanessa threw up 6 more times in 4 hours and Hailey was worried because she was mostly bringing up bile at this point. Vanessa fell asleep but didn't look good. She was pale, sweaty, and shaking in her sleep. Hailey went up to her and felt her forehead and she felt warmer than she had before. Hailey took her temperature and it was 104.3. Hailey gently woke Vanessa up so she could get her to med.
"Hey Vanessa I need you to wake up you have a really high fever. We need to get to med" Hailey told her.
Vanessa sat up and groaned.
"I know I know ill help you c'mon," Hailey told her.
Vanessa slowly stood up but her knees buckled and she almost passed out. She threw up into the trashcan again from the dizziness.
"Woah ok let's get you sitting back down," Hailey said as she helped her to sit down.
She quickly called Jay for help.
H Hey are you busy
J No we just got off I was just about to call you why
H Oh thank god Vanessa's really sick. I need help getting her to med. She was a 104.4 fever and when she stood up so I could take her to med she almost passed out.
J Shit ok I'm on my way.
Jay got there 5 minutes later.
"Hey Vanessa I heard you were pretty sick," Jay said.
"Yeah I feel awful" Vanessa replied.
"I know but we're going to get you to med and hopefully you'll start feeling better," Jay told her.
Jay picked her up and carried her to his truck. Hailey got in the back with her and Jay drove to med. He called Will on the way and he met them outside with a wheelchair. Will quickly got her into a room and took her vitals which were good and her temperature which had gone up to 104.6.
"Ok, Vanessa you are very dehydrated and have a really high fever. I'm going to get you on an iv with nausea meds fever reducers and fluids" Will told her.
Maggie came in a couple of minutes later and got her Iv in. since Vanessa was so dehydrated it took multiple attempts to get her IV in. Maggie apologized every time she winced and she squeezed Hailey's hand the whole time Maggie was trying to get her IV in.
"I know I'm sorry sweetie I'm done now you did good," Maggie told her.
Will got everything into her IV and Vanessa fell asleep. They got her into a private room since she would be staying at least overnight because of how high her fever was. They wanted to keep her until her fever broke completely. Thankfully Voight and Trudy came back the next day so Hailey could stay with Vanessa and not have to worry about there not being enough people at work, vanessa ended up having to stay 2 days at the hospital because of how bad her fever was. Once they got home Vanessa went back to sleep and Hailey caught up on paperwork. The next day Vanessa was able to go back to work but had to be on desk duty for the next 4 days. When Hailey and Vanessa got there the rest of the team filled them in on the case. They were able to close the case a few hours later and got to go home because of it. Although the situation sucked and resulted in a hospital trip it brought Hailey and Vanessa closer together.
A/N Happy start to 2023!!!! Real quick I want to write another Trudy and Hailey oneshot but I have no ideas. If you have any please comment them down below or message me. It would be greatly appreciated.
