Lieutenant Commander

Twelve

"Baby. What's wrong? You've gone awfully pale?" Adam state with quite a bit of concern. But before I could try a think of the right response to say, I say something else.

"Adam, I don't feel good" and as I finish my sentence, I fall off of my chair and it my head on the desk and at that point, everything goes black.

Jay's Pov

Seeing my sister collapse from her seat and hitting her head on her desk scared me and with Adam at her side, I immediately grabbed my radio, to call for an ambulance.

"50-21 George, I need an ambo to the 21st district, I have an officer down, and it's Lieutenant Commander Lilah Halstead" I stated

"Copy that 50-21 George. Ambo en route with an ETA of 3 minutes"

It is just scary seeing my baby sister in this state. It's something a big brother should never have to see. Adam is currently holding a tissue on the wound on her head, to try and stop her losing too much blood.

Within minutes, paramedics have arrived and Adam is explaining everything to the paramedics and they state they ae going to take her to Lakeshore but I stare at them in complete shock.

"No! She is NOT going to Lakeshore. Take her to Chicago Med" I stated to the two paramedics and they nod in agreement.

"Adam, you go with her and I'll follow in the truck. I'll call Will and Voight and give him the heads up" I told my sisters husband.

I grab my keys off my desk and run to the parking lot and jumped in and headed straight to med with lights and sirens on. I grabbed my cell and called Will and he picked up right away.

Will: Jay can I call you back in a bit. I'm rather busy at the moment

Jay: Will, Lilah is en route to Med as we speak. She collapsed at the district and hit her head on her desk. She's been on edge the last few days. Ambo 74 are bringing her in and Adam is with her.

Will: Thanks for letting me know. I'll head down to the ER now and I'll grab Ethan because I can't treat her

Jay: Thanks bro. I'll be there in a couple of minutes

I hang up the phone and then call Voight to inform him of the situation and within a couple of rings of the dialing tone, he picks up

Voight: Halstead, I was about to call you. Where are you?

Jay: I'm on the way to Med

Voight: You alright?

Jay: It's not me. It's Lilah. She collapsed at the district. She hit her head on her desk. Adam is with her in the ambo.

Voight: Hang tight. The team and I will be there soon

With that Voight hung the phone up, just as I was pulling up to Med. I practically jumped out of my truck and ran into the ER, to see Adam sitting in the waiting area with Will.

"Adam, Will" I shout and they both look up at me.

"Any news on Lilah?" I ask and then Will looks at me.

"Ethan is going to run some tests to see what's wrong, due to the fact that she's hit her head. From the pale complection that she came in with, we think it's dehydration or stress related ut we will have to wait until the results are back. With Ethan's history with the Navy, he is going to call the Vice Admiral to get her removed from the repatriation deployment because with the way she was looking when she was brought in, there was no way she was going to make that flight tonight. But as she was brought in she was slowly waking up" Will stated and I nodded and just sat down, as the team arrived.

Four hours passed and Ethan walks out into the waiting room, holding his iPad and everyone waiting stood up and looked over at Ethan.

"How's Lilah?" I asked

"Lilah's conscious and awake. The cut on her head was quite deep, so that has been stitched up but from hitting her she has got concussion and is experiencing sensitivity to light. Lilah was also dehydrated due to the amount of stress she has been under the last couple of days. I have also rang the Vice Admiral about her being on this repatriation mission and she has been removed from the mission due to her health. Lilah is going to have to stay here for a couple of days to be monitored. Lilah is asking for Jay and Adam" Ethan states.

Myself and Adam walk out if the waiting room and follow him up to Lilah's room and when we get there she is sitting up in bed, leaning her head on the pillow behind her.

Lilah's Pov

Lying in a hospital bed, squinting my eyes because the lights are too bright and it doesn't help when I've got concussion. Still squinting my eyes, I see two figures at the door and I instantly knew that it was my brother and husband.

"Hey guys" I whisper

"Hey baby, how you feeling?" Adam asks me

"I'm alright. Just got a banging headache but I'll live" I said laughing quietly

"At least you haven't lost your sense of humor sis" Jay said and that made me smile

"Ethan told me he rang the Navy and that I was going on the repatriation due to having concussion and dehydration. And that the team is in the waiting room" I stated and then sighed.

"I don't want to seem rude guys but I just want to rest and get some sleep. If you guys want to stay that fine but I'm just tired at the moment" I said and both Adam and Jay nodded.

I leaned back on my pillow and slowly closed my eyes as todays events have made me extremely exhausted and from what I'm feeling right now but I should be feeling right as reign in a few days time. I'm just glad I have the best brother and the best husband in the world because I don't know what I'll do without them.
