*This picks up from the last chapter*
Jordan was still sick and during the whole night, Hank and Erin took turns getting up with her but Erin insisted that she could do it since Hank had to work in the morning. Jordan wanted to be held by her sister and the older woman had gently picked her and began slowly rocking her.
"Erin my tummy hurts make it stop". The toddler whispered.
"It's gonna be ok Jordy, it'll pass in a couple days". Erin says gently.
"When I get better can we go to the park?"
"I think we can do that".
"And we can get ice cream".
"That too". Erin chuckled, even when she was sick Jordan was still a little ball of energy.
After a while of Erin rocking Jordan the young girl fell back asleep and the older woman got on the couch throwing a blanket over herself and Jordan, she began stroking Jordan's hair back she then began slowly falling asleep.
The next morning
Hank woke up in the living room remembering the night before, Jordan had gotten sick and had called Erin to help him. He then looked over to the couch to see his two daughters fast asleep, Jordan was curled up into Erin's chest and Erin had her arms around the toddler in a loose but protective hold. He quickly straightened up and headed for the stairs to get ready for the day, after 10 minutes he came down dressed in a long sleeve button shirt, dark colored jeans with his badge on his belt, his holster around his waist, he wore his boots, and he had his leather jacket on.
The older man had went to the kitchen to start a pot of coffee, once the coffee was brewing he pulled out some eggs and bread as he started breakfast. Erin had awoken to the smell of coffee, eggs and bacon, she looked around sleepily trying to remember when it hit her. She was in Hank's house because her sister was sick. She looked down to see the young girl still asleep, she then carefully picked her up and laid her back on the couch then covered her with the blanket finally she had kissed her head then headed for the kitchen.
"Morning Hank". Erin says.
"Morning". He replied. He poured himself and Erin some coffee.
"If you want I can take the day off and watch Jo". Erin says after taking a drink of the hot liquid.
"You sure? I can give Justin a call".
"I'm sure, any word on that case yet?"
"We have a bust going down later".
"Be careful alright".
"Always am". He then finished his coffee and put his mug in the sink. "Breakfast is ready for you guys, Jo gets her medicine every few hours, there's soup in the cabinet-" He was cut off by Erin chuckling.
"Hank I know where everything is and I got this if anything changes you're the first person I call".
"I've never left you guys while you were sick".
"It's only for a day we'll be fine".
Hank then saw his little girl waking up and started to slowly move toward him and Erin.
"Morning my little sleeping beauty, how are you feeling". Hank says to his little girl.
"I still no feel good". Jordan said weakly.
"It'll be alright you'll feel better in a couple days".
"Daddy are you leaving?" She noticed her father dressed and about to leave.
"I won't be gone all day just for a couple hours then when I come home I'll make you my famous chicken noodle soup and watch movies what do you say".
"Yeah".
"Listen Erin's in charge and you do everything she tells you".
"Ok daddy".
"That's my girl". He then kissed her head and headed out.
Erin then turned towards the toddler. "So Jordy what shall we do".
"Let watch cartoons".
"Alright".
The two cuddled up on the couch abe began watching Scooby Doo, the whole time Erin felt the body heat coming off the toddler. During the cartoon Jordan had threw up on the blanket and some of the vomit had ended up on her pajamas as well as Erin.
"I'm sorry Erin I didn't mean too". Jordan says in a raspy voice.
"It's ok sweetheart it was just an accident". Erin said rubbing some hair off her damp forehead.
Erin had put the blanket in the washer then quickly bathed Jordan putting her in some fresh pajamas, she then quickly changed out of her clothes and into news one. Once all the dirty clothes were gathered she started the washer.
"You're not mad are you?" Jordan asked.
"Honey I'm not mad it was an accident". Erin assures her.
"Can we finish watching cartoons?"
"Yeah but first let me get you some juice".
Erin then went to the kitchen and got Jordan some orange juice in her sippy cup then headed back to the living room going back to Scooby Doo.
After a couple hours it was time for lunch.
"Jo I'm gonna make some lunch then it's time for some medicine". Erin said.
"Ok".
The older woman got up from the couch heading to the kitchen, she took a couple cans of soup out of the cabinet and dumped them into a small pot. Once the soup was heating up she pulled some bread out along with the peanut butter and jelly, she reached into the fridge and pulled the orange juice out. The soup was heated, she put the sandwiches on two separate plates and poured them some orange juice. Erin then cut the soup off and put it in two bowl she then put everything on the table and called for the toddler.
"Jo time to eat sweetie".
"Coming".
The toddler began walking weakly towards the kitchen but she was so dizzy she couldn't walk straight, Jordan then collapsed onto the floor alerting Erin. When the older woman came out from the kitchen and saw the passed out toddler she panicked going towards the young child.
"Jordan? Jo sweetie wake up, wake up baby please wake up". She felt the sick child's forehead and she was burning up.
She then picked Jordan up rushing her out to the car quickly buckling her in then turning on her car speeding down the street with her lights and sirens. The older woman knew Voight was still in the field so she called Platt.
-21st District this is Sergeant Platt, how can I help you. Platt answered.
-Platt listen to me I need to get an urgent message to Hank now. Erin responds.
-Ok I'm listening.
-Jordan collapsed and I'm rushing her to Chicago Med now.
-I'll make sure he gets the message Erin.
-Thanks.
She hung up the phone she kept glancing back at Jordan who was still passed out, she was trying to keep calm while driving she didn't know what happened. One minute they were watching cartoons now Jordan was being rushed to the ER. She finally arrived and rushed to get Jordan, once she has the toddler she quickly rushed inside.
"Help! Someone help!" Erin called out.
Maggie had seen Erin with Jordan. "Dr. Manning! Dr. Choi!"
The two doctors rushed over and Natalie took the toddler from Erin was now had tears coming down her face.
"What happened". Dr. Choi asked.
"She's sick, we were watching tv I went to make lunch and when I called for her I heard her fall". Erin explained.
"What's her name?" Dr. Manning asked.
"Jordan but she'll respond to Jo or Jordy".
"Jo sweetie can you hear me". She examined the toddler but the child didn't move.
"Is she gonna be ok?"
"What was her temperature when you last checked it?"
"102.2".
"Erin I'm sorry but we're gonna have to ask you to leave so we can run some test on Jordan".
"Test? What kind of test?" She was horrified at what she was hearing.
"It's just a simple blood test then when she wakes up we can do a Urinalysis". Dr. Choi explained.
"Can I stay with her please".
"Sure let us just draw some blood. Have you contacted her father?"
"He's in the field I left a message for him".
Dr. Manning had took a small needle and began drawing some blood from the toddler.
"Do you have an idea on what happened yet?"
"I believe she could be suffering from dehydration but until the test come back I can't say for sure". Dr. Choi responds.
"She's on fluids now so we'll go from there and see what the test say". Dr. Manning added.
"Thank you".
The two doctors left the room just as Erin took a seat next to her younger sister.
Meanwhile
On the other side of Chicago, Voight had just finished his bust all the prisoner were being put in the police van just as he watched on. A few moments later Commander Perry had arrived.
"Commander what can I do for you". Voight said.
"Have you heard from Erin at all today?" Perry asked.
"I haven't heard from her since I left today. Why".
"She called Platt left an urgent message. You need to get to Chicago Med now".
"What happened".
"Erin rushed Jordan there not long ago".
Voight then ran to his SUV turned the lights and sirens on then sped away, he went through every red light and stop sign to get to Chicago Med. In record time he made it to the hospital and rushed inside to see Maggie.
"Maggie where's Erin? Where's Jordan?" He asked, his voice filled with worry and fear.
"Jordan's in that room over there, Erin hadn't left her side yet". The head nurse replied.
He then rushed over to the room and saw Erin holding Jordan's hand with one hand then brushed her hair back with her other hand. When he saw Jordan laying in the hospital bed with tubes in her nose, her face looked pale, It broke his heart to see her like that.
"Erin how is she?" His voice was soft and quiet.
The older woman was startled at hearing Hank she then faced him with a sad expression.
"Let's talk outside". She said in a raspy voice.
He nodded and the two went outside, Erin tried to keep her tears at bay the whole time.
"Hank I'm so sorry I don't know what happened".
"Calm down, take a breath and tell me what happened".
"Jo and I were watching cartoon, it got close to lunchtime so I left her to watch tv while I made lunch. I set the table and called for her next thing I know I hear her falling, she was breathing but she was unconscious". She then began to break down even more. "I'm so sorry Hank I didn't mean for this to happen I really didn't".
"It's not your fault Erin you did what anybody would have done, you rushed her to the hospital and got her immediate care".
"When she was on the floor I freaked out".
Before Hank could reply Justin rushed up to the two, he was also freaked out. He was out of breath from running so much.
"Erin I just got your message is Jo ok". Justin says.
"They drew some blood to figure out what happened, Dr. Choi believes it could be dehydration but until the test comes back they're not sure. Right now she's on fluids". She explained.
"We should get back to her".
Jordan's eyes began fluttering open she looks around and began to get scared, not knowing where she is.
"Erin? Daddy?" Jordan called out.
The adults had rushed in at hearing the young toddler.
"Hey baby girl". Hank says gently.
"Hey sweetie we're so glad you awake". Erin said sweetly.
"Hey Jo Jo". Justin says happily.
"What happened? Where are we?"
Justin took a seat by his sister. "You got really sick so Erin brought you to the doctor".
She reached her arms out towards her father wanting to be held and he complied.
"You gave us a scare for a minute sweetheart". He says.
"I'm sorry".
"It was an accident Jo, you were sick things happen".
"Jo Jo how about when you feel better we can spend the whole day together". Justin said.
"Really?" The young girl's eyes lit up, Jordan always loved spending time with her brother.
"Yeah we can go ice skating, to the movies, the zoo, whatever you wanna do".
Just then Dr. Manning came in. "Hi Jordan how are you feeling".
"Ok".
"What are the test results?" Voight asked.
"The test have confirmed she was suffering from dehydration, because of how high her temperature got it caused her to get more dehydrated. But with more fluids she will be just fine".
"Hear that Jo Jo you're gonna be ok". Justin said to his sister.
"I don't like being sick". She said.
Everyone chuckled, Jordan had to stay overnight for observations so Hank, Erin, and Justin stayed with her all night. Erin and Justin slept in the chairs while Hank slept soundly in the hospital bed holding his little girl.
