*Picks up from Sick Pt 2*
Jordan- 12
During the night Jordan had tossed and turned trying to get comfortable but couldn't, she remained in her father's side through the night. Hank was on and off sleeping through the night when his little girl was up so he was.
Around 3 in the morning Jordan finally settled into an uneasy but deep sleep. Hank looked down and saw her fast asleep, her head rested in his lap as her fingers loosely held some of his clothes. Smiling he kissed her head and propped his feet up on the table and went to sleep the whole time he held a protective hand on his baby girl.
By the time morning came, Hank was awoken by the sound of his cell phone ringing. He saw the time and it was just past 9 in the morning, the older man thought it was his team calling him to see where he was. The phone wouldn't stop ringing, Jordan began to toss and turn again Hank picked his phone up so it wouldn't wake her.
-Voight. Hank answered tiredly.
-Sarge, we got a case. Jay informed him.
-I can't come in today Halstead, Jo's sick.
-Commander Perry wants you here.
-So what am I supposed to do with Jo?
-You could drop her off at the District, I'm sure one of us won't mind watching her.
Hank didn't like leaving his sick little girl anywhere let anyone with just anyone. He trusted a few people to care for her, but he had noticed that Jordan has warmed up to his team and he did feel comfortable leaving her with them.
-Get Antonio to meet me there, he can watch her. I'm sure we'll be alright one man down.
-You got it.
Hank hung his phone up just as the twelve-year-old was waking up, he then went beside her.
"You feeling alright sweetheart?" Hank asked, feeling her forehead.
"I still feel bad dad". Jordan whimpers.
He brought her close by him for a hug, the older father wishes he could take away her pain so she doesn't have to suffer through it.
"You'll feel better soon baby, I promise".
"Who was that on the phone?"
"That was Jay, I have a case. Commander Perry wants me there".
"Where am I gonna go?"
"You're gonna stay at the District with Antonio, I'll give him what he needs for you. Trudy will be there too. If you need anything tell them".
"Do I have to change?"
Jordan was dressed in a red shirt with heart designs and black plaid pajama pants.
"You can stay in your pajamas if you want, go get your shoes and we'll go".
The young girl went to get her shoes while Hank packed up some stuff for Jordan. In a small bag, he packed up medicine, juice, soup, and a few other things. Jordan had her shoes on as she came down the steps, Hank then quickly grabbed his gun and badge from his safe.
The father and daughter left the house, Jordan got in the passenger seat and buckled up while Hank drove. As the older man drove he heard his little girl whimper and whine in pain, one thing Hank has and always will hate is to either see or hear either of his children in pain. That alone was enough to break him.
"You'll be ok in a couple of days baby I promise". Hank tells his daughter.
"Make it stop daddy". Jordan whined.
"I would if I could sweetie".
They finally arrived at the District, Antonio was waiting outside for his boss. Jay had told him that he was gonna watch Jordan while Hank was in the field, he didn't have a problem with it. While Hank was in jail, he formed a bond with the young girl, she was like a second daughter to him but more like a niece.
Hank got out but left his door open, Jordan opened her door and got out but took her time. The two helped her get steady on her feet before she fell. Hank then handed over the bag to his detective.
"This is everything Jo's gonna need, her medicine, juice, soup, a thermometer just in case-" He was cut off by Antonio chuckling.
"I think I got it from here Sarge". Antonio replies.
He then quickly got a blanket from the truck and gave it to him. "Just in case she gets cold".
"Got it".
Hank then looked to his little girl with a gentle look. "Alright baby, I don't know how long I'm gonna be gone so Antonio and Trudy are in charge. If you need anything tell them".
"Ok, dad. Be careful please".
"Aren't I always?"
"You know what I mean"
They chuckled as Hank pulled his precious little girl into a hug, his hand rested on the back of her head. Jordan held on tightly to her father he kissed her head and she kissed his cheek.
Hank then left the District as Antonio guided the young girl inside. Trudy saw the detective with her goddaughter and she saw how sick the young girl was, she then rushed out from behind the desk.
"Jo, are you ok honey? I heard you were sick". Trudy says, feeling her forehead.
"I'll be ok Aunt Trudy". Jordan said.
Jordan then lets out a harsh cough and sneezed a couple times. The two adults looked at each other then back to the twelve-year-old.
"Let's get you upstairs and get some medicine in you". Antonio spoke.
"Ok". Jordan says quietly.
As they went upstairs Jordan was coughing a bit harshly, Antonio tried not to get worried about it. Once they were up in the squad Jordan went to her father's office to get comfortable, while she set up there Antonio was getting her medicine set up to take.
Jordan had sat down on the couch when something in her stomach lurched and she ran out the room as fast as she could, Antonio saw her running but ended up puking on the floor he then got by her side. He rubbed a gentle hand across her back as she heaved on the floor. A moment later she stopped, her throat was sore and raw, her stomach ached as she whined in pain.
"It's alright Jo, you'll feel better soon". Antonio soothed her.
"I hate being sick". Jordan spoke, her voice raspy. "Sorry about the floor".
"Its ok kiddo, I'll clean it up you go rest".
"When do you think we could call my dad?"
"I don't know yet sweetheart, it probably won't be for a while".
"He always told me never call him when he's out unless its an emergency".
"That's what I tell my kids".
"I'm gonna go rest now".
Antonio nodded just as she went to her father's office, she left the door cracked. A very unpleasant smell was in the air and the detective looked and remembered the puddle of vomit.
After cleaning the puke off the floor and spraying the office to rid the smell he began to get to work on the case.
Meanwhile
The other members of Intelligence were at a known raid with Perry, they couldn't start without Hank. Everyone knew why he was late and they didn't question it either and neither did Perry. A few moments later Hank had arrived, he got out and quickly put his vest on joining the other members of his team.
"Commander". Hank greeted his superior.
"Hank. There were a lot of reasons I didn't want you running this unit but this is one of the many reasons I did want you to run it. A guy who lives here he's been known to a lot of things, deal, use, now he's into more apparently word got back he's looking into selling weapons, powerful guns at that. This is one of his many known locations, last we heard he's here. I want you to bring him in and give up his suppliers and dealers". Perry said.
"You got it".
Perry left so the team could prepare, Hank wanted to do this bust quickly and get back to his little girl.
"Hank, you good?" Erin asked.
"I wanna do this quick so I can get back to Jo'. Hank answered.
"Is she ok?" Alvin asked highly concerned.
"She's sick so Antonio is watching her. Look let's focus on the case at hand".
As they all prepared Hank couldn't focus, his mind was somewhere else but he tried to block it out. They all gathered around the front of the house, Jay had the battering ram he looked back to his boss for the signal and Hank gave it. The young detective bashed the door in and everyone swarmed in.
"Chicago PD!" Jay yelled.
Hank was inside as he went for the guy they were going for, the guy looked at the older Sergeant then tackled him. The two fought, during the fight, Hank ended up dislocating his right shoulder and the guy hit him with the but of the gun. Jay and Alvin ended up pulling him off their boss.
Everyone gathered up outside, Jay's phone rang and he went to answer it.
-Halstead.
-Jay, it's me get everyone down to Med now. Antonio's voice came on urgently.
-Why? What happened?
-Jordan collapsed.
District 21
Antonio was trying to gather more information for the case but couldn't. He'd pop in on Jordan every now and then to make sure she's alright. Jordan woke up in her father's office extremely dizzy, her vision blurry she tried to get up but not too fast, the twelve-year-old made her way out of the office and to the squad.
Her vision kept getting worse, she was by the door as the blindly looked at the detective.
"Antonio...I don't...feel so good". Jordan says weakly.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" Antonio asked.
Before she could answer she passed out, he ran over and caught her before she could hit the floor.
"Jordan! Jo, I need you to wake up sweetie come on".
He felt for a pulse and it was steady, he then pulled his phone out calling an ambulance.
-911 what's your emergency.
-I need an ambulance at the 21st District, I have a young girl who passed out. Put a rush on that bus now. Antonio replies urgently
After that he hung up and picked her up off the floor, he felt the body heat coming off her small frame. Carrying her bridal style he rushed out of the squad going down the steps. Trudy saw the detective rushing as he carried her unconscious goddaughter down the stairs.
"Jo!" Trudy called.
"She passed out, I don't know what happened". Antonio replied quickly.
The Desk Sergeant looked back at the other officers. "Watch the desk".
"Sarge-" One of them was cut off by her outburst.
"Watch the damn desk!"
A moment later an ambulance rolled up, Gabby and Shay arrived as they got their stuff out. Antonio and Trudy rushed out with an unconscious Jordan.
"Antonio what happened". Gabby asks her brother.
"Jo's sick, she was resting she came out and said she wasn't feeling well and passed out". Antonio answers.
"What was her temp last time you checked". Shay spoke.
"I haven't checked yet".
The blonde then pulled a thermometer out and checked her temp, her eyes were wide.
"Dawson her temp is almost 103".
"Let's get her to Med now". Gabby said.
"I'll ride with her, I'm her guardian if Hank isn't here". Trudy said.
"Let's go".
"I'll get everyone down there". Antonio said shakily.
He then called Jay. -Jay, it's me, get everyone down to Med.
-Why? What happened?
-Jordan collapsed.
He then hung up and headed to the hospital.
While
Jay froze when he heard that, he now has to tell his boss that Jordan was being rushed to the hospital.
"Jay, you alright?" Erin asked her partner.
The young detective looked to his boss with a saddened and worried look. "Sarge we gotta get to Med".
"Why". Hank said worriedly.
"That was Antonio, Jordan collapsed and she was rushed to Med".
Hank felt his heart drop far down into his gut, this was why he never wanted to leave his children while they're sick. Erin and Alvin felt fear go through their bodies the whole time.
The older man got up and went to the driver side of his car.
"Where are you going?" Erin asked.
"Where do you think to see Jo". Hank replied.
"Hank you can't drive". Alvin advised his friend.
"I need to go see her".
"I'll drive you".
Hank felt his heart beating so fast it could have popped out, he tried to calm down but couldn't.
"It'll be alright man she's with Antonio and probably Trudy, Jo will be fine".
"This I why I never want to leave them while they're sick".
"Jo will be just fine".
"I hope so".
Chicago Med
Gabby and Shay arrived at the hospital as they wheeled in Jordan, Trudy and Antonio were following close behind.
"What do we got". Maggie said.
"Jordan Voight, 12, passed out. We checked her temp it's close to 103". Gabby informed the head nurse.
"Trauma 2, ". Maggie calls.
"On it. On three, 1, 2, 3". Natalie says.
Jordan was lifted from the gurney to the hospital bed, the paramedics got the gurney out of the room. Trudy and Antonio didn't leave the room.
"What happened before she passed out". Natalie said to the two adults.
"She's sick, she was resting and told me she wasn't feeling very well and passed out". Antonio explained.
"We'll start her on fluids it looks like she was dehydrated. Have you contacted her father?"
"Yes, he's on his way". Trudy says.
She took a flashlight over the young girl's eyes. "Jo, honey can you hear me".
Jordan didn't move or respond which made the two panic more.
"Why isn't she moving or talking?" Trudy's voice filled with fear.
"I'm gonna run some test on her you two can wait in the waiting area". Natalie informs them.
"Could we stay with her? She shouldn't be alone". Antonio says.
"Jo has to go by herself, once she's finished we'll have her admitted to a room".
Trudy kissed her goddaughter's head and the two watched as Jordan was wheeled off to the elevator.
A few minutes later the Intelligence team had come in, Hank was front and center a worried look planted on his face. He ignored the pain in his shoulder, he didn't care about his shoulder he wanted to know how his little girl was. Maggie saw the worried father and went to him.
"Hank, Jordan's ok shes getting a couple test done as soon as I know anything I'll tell you". Maggie tells him.
"Can I see her?" Hank asked.
"Once she's in a room you can see her".
He nodded sadly and went over to his Detective and friend, a worried expression painted on his face.
"Antonio what happened". Hank's voice filled with worry and fear.
"Jo was resting she came out of your office saying she wasn't feeling well and passed out". The detective explains.
"Hank you should get your shoulder looked at it could be a few minutes before we hear something". Erin says to her father figure.
After debating with himself he decided to get his shoulder checked out, they gave him some pain medicine and popped his shoulder back into place and stitched the cut on his forehead. He ignored all the pain that just happened, he couldn't focus until he saw his little girl.
Jordan was now in a room, Natalie was checking her stats when she heard a small groan coming from the young girl.
"Jo, sweetie can you hear me". Natalie says to her gently.
The twelve-year-old blindly opened her eyes and saw a figure next to her, not knowing who it was it had scared her.
"Where am I? Dad? Daddy? Where are you?" Jordan's voice filled with fear.
"Jo sweetie calm down it's alright, It's Dr. Manning. You passed out you're at the hospital now".
"I don't remember".
"Its ok you don't have too".
"The last thing I do remember was telling Antonio I didn't tell well. then after I don't remember. Is my dad here? I want my dad".
"Alright calm down I'll go see if he's here".
The doctor left to find the older father. Hank was now pacing in the waiting room, everyone had sat down waiting to hear something on the young girl but nothing yet. Nobody told the older father to sit because he would either debate with them, fight or possibly yell.
When Natalie was in view and Hank seen her he wasted no time in going over to her.
"How's Jordan?" Hank asked quickly.
"She's awake, stable, alert. When she was brought in her temp was 103. After a couple test, everything came back done I think she got a double whammy, the flu with having the stomach flu. At the moment she's on fluids to rehydrate her, we're giving antibiotics for the flu and the stomach flu". Natalie explained.
"How long until she can be released?"
"I'd like to keep her overnight just for observation if everything looks good she can go home tomorrow".
"Can I see her?"
"Of course, follow me".
The older father followed the doctor as everyone else sighed with relief. Jordan was alright. Antonio still felt a bit guilty about how it went down, Alvin saw the look on his face and went to him.
"Hey It wasn't your fault man, don't blame yourself". Alvin told him.
"It happened when she was in my care, I'm responsible". Antonio replies.
"Antonio the same thing happened when I was watching Jo, she was three when it happened. I blamed myself when it happened, Hank didn't blame me so he won't blame you". Erin tells him.
"We'll see".
Hank was right by his daughter's room, he looked in and saw her on the bed flipping through channels. Jordan looked to see her father.
"Daddy!" Jordan says excitedly.
The older father went in and hugged his little girl, he kissed her head and rested his chin on top of her head.
"Daddy's here baby, I'm here now. I'm so glad you're alright sweetheart". Hank whispered in her hair.
After the hug broke Jordan noticed the sling on her father's arm and the cut on his head.
"Daddy you're hurt".
Hank chuckled and kissed her head again. "I'm fine baby, I'm just glad you're alright".
"Is everyone else here?"
"Yeah, they're all in the waiting room".
"Can I see them?"
"I'll go get them".
He kissed her head one last time and went to get his team, Hank could finally breathe knowing his baby was alright. By the time he got back to his team they all practically ran to him.
"How is she?" Trudy asked.
"Jordan's ok in fact, she wants to see you all". Hank says.
"Let's go". Erin spoke.
The whole intelligence team went to Jordan's room except Antonio. He had still felt guilty the whole time, Hank had seen his detective standing there an knew what was on his mind. Erin had the same look when it happened the first time he then went over to him.
"It wasn't your fault Antonio, you or Jo could have known it would happen". Hank tells his detective.
"It happened while she was in my care so part of me feels responsible". Antonio replies.
"When Jo was eight she woke up one morning throwing up, I thought it was a stomach bug turns out it wasn't".
"What was it?"
"She had to get her appendix removed, while she was in surgery I couldn't help but blame myself because I thought it was a stomach bug. Hadn't I brought her to the hospital when I did her appendix could have burst and I would never have known. As much as it kills me I can't protect them from everything if I could I would".
"When I look at Jo I think of my own kids, what I do if I saw them pass out. What I can do to prevent it. If I could protect them from anything I would".
"Any parent is like that".
"Just imagine in a few years Jo's gonna be dating".
"Yeah, that's not happening".
"It wouldn't surprise me if you got us to spy on her first date".
"Let's go see her".
The two then went to see the young girl, when they got to her room they heard laughing. Jordan looked to see her father and surrogate uncle there they entered the room going to her side.
"How ya feeling kiddo?" Antonio asked.
"I'm ok now". Jordan answers with a smile.
"I'm glad".
The twelve-year-old saw the look on his face and reached out grabbing his hand. "It wasn't your fault, you didn't know. I don't blame you. It was an accident".
Antonio smiled and they did a fist bump, soo enough visiting hours were over and the team left. Everyone had kissed Jordan's head then left. Jordan was falling back asleep, she looked to her father as her eyes began growing heavy.
"Daddy, can you stay with me please". Jordan says sleepily.
"Of course I can baby". Hank replies with a smile.
Carefully as he could Hank got in the hospital bed next to his little girl, using his good arm he pulled her closed and held his arm around her protectively. Jordan held onto her father's arm as she slowly fell asleep.
The older father looked to see her fighting going to sleep. "It's alright sweetheart, daddy's here. Go to sleep".
Jordan's eyes grew heavier and heavier by the second. "G'night daddy".
He kisses her head and rested his cheek on the top of her head. "Sweet dreams baby".
The twelve-year-old fell asleep as she held onto her father's arm. Hank ended up going to sleep with his little girl curled into his side.
Natalie wanted to check on the young girl and when she got to her room, she smiled at the sight. Hank was fast asleep with his baby girl, she decided to wait to check on Jordan so she just cut the light off leaving the father and daughter to rest for the night.
