“ i think you should kiss me. “ (patrick)

@storiesfabled

"You think, huh?"

Right eyebrow raised in genuine curiosity as Madison reached up to run the pad of her thumb along his lips before dropping her hand back down and repositioning herself on the sofa to where she was facing the coffee table, rather than turned to face him. If Patrick truly wanted to taste her kiss against his lips, she was going to make him work a little harder for it, simply because she could.

Sometimes, it was fun to be a little tease.

"Get back to me when you know you want me to kiss you."

[keepingstarsapart]

"Guess there really is first time for everything," Madison teased right back, shoulders shrugging nonchalantly as a confident smirk was sent in John's general direction. She'd taken his advice about the potential consequences of her actions seriously, though, not wanting any sort of blemish on her record as a doctor.

"So, are you joining us for drinks tonight?" Given he was the new kid in town, so to speak, someone else would surely pick up his tab that evening. "Or does an old man like you need to head straight home so he can hop right into bed and get his full eight hours?"

❛ while that is unfortunate, I still think I won. ❜ john teased. but as he thought about it more, maybe it was more even. ❛ i would just be more careful about tricking patients. that could backfire. ❜ he used his peripheral vision and saw doctor charles, hoping that he didn't hear her. she was only in her first year, while he was nearly done. soon he would be an attending. that alone was crazy.

❛ i guess you are right. ❜ he really doesn't deal well with losing his child patients.

Big Brother to the Rescue

Summary: You, Y/N Rhodes, get really sick during the night and have to be taken to the hospital. You're dad is not around and Claire is out of town so you turn to the only person you trust, your big brother, Connor Rhodes.

Pairings: Connor Rhodes x Sister!Reader

Warnings: angst, fluff, cussing, inaccurate medical talk, fever, vomit, hospitals

Masterlist

You loved your brother, Connor Rhodes, to death and he loved you the same, maybe even more. You love your sister, Claire Rhodes, too but not as much as you loved Connor. They practically raised you. Your living situation was not good. Your father, Cornelius Rhodes, was a massive jerk and your mother passed away when you were young. You looked up to Clarie as a mother figure and Connor as a father figure. Connor was only 16 when you were born and he instantly fell in love with you and was proud to be the big brother and jumped at every chance to help out with you. He was the best big brother you could ask for. Clarie was the best sister you could ask for too but it wasn't a bond like you and Connor had. 

Growing up was not the most pleasant and it turned worse when your mother passed. When Connor turned 18, he tried so hard to get custody over you but it was quickly shot down even though he had a steady income and home but your dad was so powerful that he made it not happen. It also didn't help that Connor was going to medical school and wasn't home a lot but it could've worked, you still visited him often and had a lot of sleepovers with him plus it was a place for you to escape from your dad.  When your guys’ dad started to criticize him for his medical school he had enough and moved to a different state but that didn't stop you from contacting him all the time and taking trips, when you were allowed, down to see him in Guadalajara, Mexico. It broke your heart that he moved but your bond never weakened and when he spent his residency in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, you weren't allowed to visit him but video calling was a daily routine. He hated that he couldn't bring you with him but he didn't have custody and it would be too much hassle to get you over to Saudi Arabia whereas Mexico was a little easier.  

—------

When Connor finally came back to Chicago, you were 12, you were ecstatic you finally had your father figure back. You caught him up on everything and while he was away. Claire resented him for leaving but she could never be mad at you. She would do everything to protect you, if you had girl questions or boy problems you were going to her. Your dad couldn't give a shit about you, sure he fed you and gave you a roof over your head but he didn't want you and he could care less about you. So, when Connor came back and started working at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center for his fellowship for trauma surgery fellowship everything went back to normal. Your daily meetups, sleepovers, and going to him for problems and medical issues started right back up like he never left. He still tried to get custody but it failed every time but he wasn't going to stop fighting for you, they wouldn't let him have you even if you said you wanted to live with him.

—------

When you were 13 you had gotten really sick like hospital sick. It was a night that Connor wasn't working and you were just in agony. Claire had moved out and your father was at a charity thing leaving you home alone. It started in the middle of the night waking you up from a dead sleep. You desperately tried to call your dad but it just went to voicemail so you tried one more time and he answered 

“Dad, I don't feel good.” You told him. 

“What's wrong?” He asked and this gave a you some hope. 

“My stomach really hurts. I feel like I'm going to throw up. I feel hot.” You said

“Suck it up. There is medicine in the cabinet downstairs.” He said and hung up and you let out a sob. 

You pulled yourself off your bed and dragged yourself to the steps and took painful steps down the steps. You sobbed the entire time. You finally got to the kitchen and opened the cabinet and grabbed the painkillers and you took them. Almost immediately as it touched your stomach you were throwing up everywhere. You were so weak. So weak that you just ended up collapsing onto the kitchen floor just barely missing your throw up. Thankfully you had grabbed your phone and slowly and shakingly grabbed your phone, your vision blurring. You unlocked it and pulled up your contacts and hit one you knew all too well. It rang not even once and Connor's voice came through.

“Y/N/N? It's 3 AM. What's wrong?” He asked in a voice full of concern.

“I... I... I don't feel good.” You said your teeth were chattering because despite your temperature, you were freezing.

“Where's dad? Did you tell him?” He asked and you could hear him rustling around.

“He's at a charity event. I... I called him and told him but he told me to suck it up and take the medicine in the cabinet in the kitchen. I'm in so much pain, Con. I took the medicine and immediately threw it up.” You told him the feeling of the cold floor was nice.

“Bastard.” He murmured “I'm on my way. You stay put.” He said. 

“I'm hot but so cold.” You said letting your eyes droop. “So tired.” You added.

“Hey, stay on the phone with me. Why didn't you call Clarie? She lives closer.” He asked

“She's gone out of town.” You said and you could hear him get into his car and the engine start. 

“Son of a bitch.” He said and started to drive as fast as he could while still obeying the speed limit. He kept talking to you but you stopped responding and that scared him. He hung up when he arrived at your guys’ family home. He was quick to jump out and run to the front door and grab the key under the mat and opened it.

The house was dark but he knew where you were at. “Y/N/N. It's me.” He yelled out but got no response. He walked into the kitchen and saw you lying there. “Fuck.” He murmured to himself and ran over to you missing your vomit. He kneeled down and touched your forehead and retracted his hand “Damn, Sis. You're burning up.” He said. He walked over to the drawer and grabbed the thermometer and thankfully it was on that stuck in your ear. He put it there and waited for it to beep and when it did, he cursed and read it aloud “104.3. Fuck I need to take you in.” He said and started to try and wake you up. “Y/N/N, Sweetheart. It's me. Your brother. Can you open your eyes?” He asked as he pressed two fingers to your neck. “Damn, pulse is way too fast.” He said and him talking must've started to rouse you.

“Con?” You asked and he smiled softly. 

“Yea it's me. Can you open your eyes?” He asked and you cracked them open until they were open. “There we go.” He said.

“Tired.” You said and started to close again.

“No. Hey, keep those eyes open. I'm going to take you to Med, Ok?” He asked and you nodded.

“Ok. Go see Will?” You asked and he smiled. Will has become a favorite of yours and he doesn’t know why.

“Yes. We'll go see Will.” He said as he started to stand you and your legs shook like a newborn foal's standing for the first time. “Can you walk?” He asked.

“I don’t know.” You said in barely just a whisper and you tried to take a few steps and all but collapsed into his arms.

“That is a no.” He said and then he was scooping you up into his arms and walking out of the house and to his car. He got you in the passenger side seat and then him in the driver’s seat and he was off heading to Med as fast as he could. He continued to talk to you to keep you awake and before you knew it you were pulling into Med. He parked and turned the car off and got out heading to the passenger side seat. He quickly scooped you up and shut the door hastily. He rushed you into ED where he saw Maggie. “Mags.” He said and she looked up at him and quickly rushed you into a bay. “She wants Will.” He said and she nodded. She walked out of the room and went to get Will not even a second later he was rushing into the room.

“Connor? What is going on?” He asked

“She called me saying she didn’t feel good and when I asked her what was wrong, she told me she was hot but so cold. She said she took some medicine but once she took it, she immediately threw up. When I got there, she was passed out on the floor next to a pile of vomit. She was burning up to the touch, she had and still has according to the monitor a temperature of 104.3 and her pulse was fast, way too fast.” He explained as they could see from the monitor “She also said she was really tired. I woke her up and had her stand and she shook like a life, she tried to walk but she collapsed into my arms and then I quickly got her in the car and rushed her here.” He finished.

“Why isn’t Cornelius here instead?” Will asked

“He is at a charity event. Left her by herself. She called him and told him she was sick but he told her to suck it up and take the medicine in the cabinet.

“Bastard.” Will said

“That’s what I said.” Connor said

“I want to get an ultrasound done on her stomach to rule out appendicitis.” Will said and Connor nodded.

“I agree.” Connor said and soon Will was calling in the ultrasound machine and he got to work with the help of a nurse. “So, it is not appendicitis.” Connor confirmed and Will nodded.

“I want to run some tests on her. Swab for flu and viral infection and take some blood as well.” He said and Connor nodded. Throughout this entire process you had been out and now that you were in the hospital you were allowed to sleep. “I want to get some fluids running to help with her temperature and get some IV children’s Tylenol on board as well.” He said and again Connor nodded. As the nurse was preparing everything you started to wake up. 

“Will?” You asked and he smiled and looked over at you.

“Hey, Sweetheart. We’re going to get you feeling better, ok? I just want to run some tests.” He said and you nodded.

“Ok.” You said and then you saw the needles “Con, no.” You said and shook your head but that was a mistake because it hurt your head.

“Hey it is ok. I’ll be here the entire time. Ok?” He asked and you nodded and then he nodded at the nurse and Will and everyone got to work. Soon blood was taken, fluids were hooked up, and swabs were taken.

“Get those tests going ASAP.” Will told the nurse and she nodded and they were out of the room. Will had to tend to some other patients and you both understood and they let you go back to sleep. With the fluids going your pulse was starting to come up and it was steady since you were sleeping and your temperature was starting to come down and the IV children’s Tylenol helped with that. 20 minutes later Will was coming in.

“So?” Connor asked

“She has a really bad viral infection and she has a really bad case of the flu. I want to get her admitted and keep her here for a few days.” Will said

“This had to be going on for a few days.” Connor said

“Did she not tell you anything about it?” He asked and Connor shook his head.

“No, she didn’t look sick when we met up a couple of days ago.” Connor said, sighing and Will nodded.

“Let’s get her moved.” Will said and so they did.

The next time you were waking up, 3 hrs. after coming into ED, you were waking up in a room. “Connor?” You asked sluggishly.

“Hey, Sis. I’m here.” He said coming over to you as he entered the room with a cup of coffee. 

“Where am I?” You asked and he smiled and came over and sat next to you.

“In the hospital. You have a really bad case of the flu and a bad viral infection. Will is taking care of you and has you on antibiotics.” He said and you nodded and you were struggling to keep your eyes open. 

“Dad?” You asked

“Not here.” He said and to be honest he didn’t want him here. He hadn’t even thought about him since you arrived here and boy was, he going to have some words for him. “Go back to sleep.” He said and you nodded and were out like a light and he could tell because your heart rate slowed. Now it was time to have some words for his father. He made sure you were asleep before pulling his phone out and stepping out of the room where he saw Will. “Hey, I need to make a phone call. Mind staying with her?” He asked and Will smiled.

“Of course.” He said and walked into the room with you and Connor walked into the doctor’s lounge and dialed his dad’s phone number and he rang 5 times before he answered. Cornelius didn’t even have time to say hi before Connor started to rail into him.

“Do you know where your daughter is?” Connor asked

“No, but she has made a mess in the kitchen she needs to clean up.” Cornelius said and Connor saw red.

“She’s in the hospital because she has a bad case of the flu and a bad case of a viral infection.” Connor said venom in his words.

“Well, she needs to get home now and clean the mess up.” He said 

“She will be doing no such thing. Not anymore.” Connor said

“And why is that?” Cornelius asked

“Because she is coming to live with me. I was the one that found her when she called and told me what was going on while you were too busy at a charity event. She told you she was sick and you told her to suck it up. You told her to take the medicine in the cabinet and she instantly threw it up. She was running a 104.3 fever when I found her and she couldn’t even stand or walk. She was so weak. I’m filing for sole custody of her and you’re going to sign it because you are not fit to be a father let alone a guardian. You will not be coming to see her. You will not see her at all unless she is with me or have contact with her. That is final.” He went off on him. Cornelius was silent by the time he was done.

“Fine. Keep the bitch. I don’t care. I’ll have her stuff packed and waiting for you to pick it up.” He said and then hung up the phone. Connor was relieved now he needed to start the paperwork. He let out a sigh of relief.  

Connor walked back to your room and saw you wake and sitting up talking to Will. You looked over and saw him. You still looked tired but you were awake. “Where were you?” You asked.

“I was on the phone with dad.” He said

“I’ll leave the two of you alone. I will be back in a few to check on you.” Will said, directing that last sentence to you. You and Connor nodded and Will left. 

“Is he coming?” You asked and he shook his head.

“No.” He said and you looked relieved “I have good news though.” He said and you perked up.

“Oh?” You asked curious and he nodded.

“From now on you will be coming to live with me and you won’t see him or talk to him.” Connor said and your face brightened.

“Really?” You asked and he nodded.

“Really.” He said and you squealed in excitement. Your wish was finally coming true. You were going to be living with your big brother. You then started to go on about all the things you two could do together and he smiled and nodded. You suddenly stopped talking and looked at him and smiled. “What?” He asked.

“I love you, Con.” You said and he smiled.

“I love you too, Y/N/N. Now and forever.” He said and he leaned over to kiss your forehead.

“Now and forever.” You confirmed. Your wish did come true and you couldn’t be happier.

I Promised You Forever | Jay Halstead

⚠️ THIS IS A REPOST FROM MY MAIN BLOG @/DLMLUFICS.

Pairing: Jay Halstead x Reader

Request: From anon

Warnings: A little angst. A little fluff. Mentions of a shooting and surgeries.

JAY HALSTEAD MASTERLIST || TAG LIST SIGN-UP

“Get to Med… Jay’s been shot.” 

As she waits in the waiting room at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center, the sound of her sergeant’s words echoes in her ears. Her heart is racing, her knee is bouncing, her hands are trembling, and dried up tear streaks run down her face. She feels like she’s been sitting in the room for an eternity, waiting for any news about her husband’s condition. He was already in surgery by the time she got at the hospital, which was a little more than two hours ago.  

“Y/N!” she hears her partner, Kim Burgess, call out as she approaches her. When the brunette reaches her, she embraces her tightly. 

After Jay and Y/N revealed their relationship to Voight, the two women became partners. They’ve been like sisters since they went through the academy together, and they got even closer after Y/N and Hailey Upton were transferred to Intelligence after Erin Lindsey left.  

“Has there been any news?”  

“I haven’t heard anything; Will just went to see if he can get an update,” she says before breaking down again. “I can’t lose him, Kim,” she cries into the shoulder of her best friend. “I can’t do it without him. We just got married. I can’t be without him.”  

“Jay’s strong; he’ll get through this,” Kim reassures her as she rubs her back and squeezes her even tighter; it crushes her heart to see her best friend and chosen sister like this. 

“Did you get the person who shot him?” she says, pulling away from Kim and angrily wiping away the fresh set of tears that are falling.  The anger in eyes and voice wasn’t intended for her partner, or Adam who had been with Jay at the time of the shooting, or the rest of their team but at the guy who fired the gun at her husband and shot him. She begged Hank to give her five minutes with the person when they apprehended him, but Hank ordered her to stay at the hospital because that’s where she needed to be the most and swore he wouldn’t go easy with the guy. 

Kim replies, moving to sit in the chair next to the one she was in, “He’s in custody. Voight’s making his life a living hell, I’m sure of it.”  

She sits back down next to her and asks, “How’s Ruz?”  

“He’s blaming himself,” Kim replies. “He’ll be here when he’s cleaned himself up, and the others will be here after they’ve finished with the interrogation.”  

She nods, letting Kim know she heard her. 

Minutes pass as they sit in quiet, Kim holding her hand and reminding her that she is not alone. Will eventually returns and informs her that there haven’t been any updates just yet before he leaves once more to grab them all some coffee.  

Just as Will comes back with Adam following behind him, the surgeon walks into the waiting room. 

As he approaches, Y/N and Kim get to their feet. As the doctor begins to talk, Will moves to stand next to his sister-in-law. “Surgery went smoothly. We removed the bullet, stopped the bleeding, and repaired the damage the bullet caused. Jay will make a full recovery, but he will need to take it easy for some time.”  

Y/N exhales with relief, “I’ll make sure he does. Can we see him?”  

“Two at a time,” the doctor says with a nod.  

“Adam and I will go update everyone,” Kim says to her and Will before exiting the waiting room with Adam.  

The doctor leads Will and Y/N to the room where Jay has been moved. Jay opens his eyes and looks sleepily at his wife and brother as soon as they enter the room.  

“Oh, baby,” Y/N breathes as she walks over to his bed and takes his hand in hers, looking at him with tenderness. “Please don’t put me through that again.”  

“I can’t make any promises,” he says drowsily with a small smile. He raises her hand and kisses the back of it.  

“How are you feeling?” Will asks as he stands beside Y/N.  

Jay jokes with a slight smirk on his lips, “Like I was shot.  

Y/N scowls at him, not in the mood for jokes right now, and says, "Don’t joke.” 

“You love me, and you know it,” he gives her a small smile letting her know he’s teasing her.  

“I need to get back to work, but I’ll stop by after my shift,” Will tells his brother, stopping Y/N from that is retaliating. “I’ll make sure to bring you some decent food.”  

“Thank you, Will,” she says as he exits the room. Looking back at her husband, she sits on the edge of the hospital bed, clutching his hand on her lap. “I was so scared I would lose you.”  

“I’m not going anywhere,” he assures her. “We still have a lot to do together.”  

She leans down and gives him a soft kiss while whispering, “I love you.”  

“I love you too,” he replies as he kisses her again. “Now, come lie down with me.” 

“You’ve just gotten out of surgery. I don’t want to cause you more pain.”  

“They’ve got me on the good stuff, honey, and after what I just went through, all I want to do is hold my wife and remind her that us Halstead’s aren’t easy to take down,” he says and pulls her close to him, moving them so she can lay down beside him.  

With his arm across her shoulders and her head on his, he presses a kiss to her forehead and whispers, “I promised you forever. I’m keeping that promise.”

"Two pieces of toast coming right up. Don't move."

Madison made the short trek to the kitchen, popping two pieces of bread into the toaster before grabbing the carton of orange juice from the refrigerator and pouring a couple of glasses. As soon as the toast was finished, she plated it and added a little bit of butter on the side, just in case. Using a small tray, she carried everything into the living room, setting it down on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

"It's 8:15," she announced, claiming one of the juice glasses for herself and taking a small sip. "I haven't had a chance to get to the store and restock, so we'll have to make due without coffee this morning. Hope you don't mind."

Biting down against her bottom lip, she contemplated her response to his most recent confession before setting her glass down and leaning back against the cushions on her end of the sofa. "What's the last thing you actually do remember about last night?"

@prettytragcdies asked: “would you like some breakfast?”

"I wouldn't say no to some toast." Patrick never had been a big breakfast eater. Usually it was just a quick bite on the way to school, or a bowl of cereal on the weekends. Then again, he also tended to sleep in on weekends and by the time he woke up it was lunch time. "What time is it?" he asked after a moment of getting his bearings together. "I don't remember staying over last night." Maybe he'd hit the bottle of tequila just a little too hard.

NHL Conner reuniting with Sarah, who might have been his childhood "gf" in kindergarten something cute and fluffy or make it angst

Day 3 of the Advent Prompt Challenge! Set loosely during season 1 of Chicago Med and this also falls into my NHL Hockey Star! Connor Rhodes au!

“Reese,” Maggie’s voice floated somewhere above her and Sarah looked up from where she was helping April unpack supplies so they could stock the supply closet. It wasn’t the call of her name that made her look up though, but the confusion in the charge nurse’s voice.

“Yeah Mags, what’s up?”

“There is a man here. Dr. Halstead says he’s the right wringer for the Blackhawks.”

“Okay...” the brunette drew out the word, unsure of why the other woman was telling her this.

“What does that have to do with me Maggie?” Sarah asked as her confusion grew. It wasn’t like she kept up with the sport. Except that Claire’s big brother played the sport professionally.

“He says he’s your husband.”

“What?”

It was Claire’s brother. Sarah saw as she followed behind the charge nurse to where this right-winger was (whatever that was) and there stood Connor Rhodes. Because of course, her best friend's older brother would say something idiotic like he was her husband.

"Hey! There is Mrs. Connor Rhodes now!" He grinned broadly when he saw her walking towards him. All eyes turned to her and she felt a flush of heat running up...everywhere. She was probably as red as a tomato by now.

"I'm not your wife," she muttered glaring at him. But Connor didn't seem fazed. In fact, his grin morphed into one she had only seen a few times. It was soft and his ocean-blue eyes seemed to brighten into stars and those stars seemed to twinkle.

"You doodling Mrs. Sarah Rhodes in your math notebook says otherwise." He teased softly.

"I was ten years old!" The brunette protested, wishing the floor would just open up and swallow her whole. Why shouldn't the rumor mill of Gaffney know about her childhood crush of the man in front of her? But the man in front of her still didn't seem fazed at her words.

"Claire told me she's bringing you to tonight's game." He said holding up a jersey for her to see, "And with it being my first homecoming game back with the Blackhawks-"

Connor had been traded to Boston before Sarah started medical school and had been traded back just before the season started. "-I thought my future wife could wear my jersey."

Sarah took the red jersey with the writing: Rhodes: 15 on the back of it.

"Connor, this looks like the real thing and not just something you get fans. You need this to play."

She glanced up to see Connor rolling his eyes. "Sarah, give me some credit. This is my old jersey. Before I was traded. You know the one you wore the night before I left for Boston..."

A second flush started to creep up her cheeks. Because images of that night had started to flash in her mind.

"And Claire?"

"My sister is wearing my away jersey." Connor reassured the curly-haired brunette, pushing a stray curly behind her ear as he leaned into her personal space to whisper, "Besides, this jersey is no one else's but yours. After all, we did christen it together."

A third flush started to creep up her cheeks.

Hi! Can you write an imagine for Blake Gallo, with the prompt “I tried to move on, but nobody is you”

Blake Gallo- Nobody Is You

Blake and YN had a whirl wind relationship. They met when Blake joined firehouse 51 and immediately they clicked. When YN got injured during a call and was told she could no longer be a firefighter she went a bit crazy. That was her life, now what was she going to do? This took a huge strain on her relationship with Blake and eventually YN broke up with him in fear that one day they would do nothing be argue with each other, and potentially start to hate one another.

Since YN’s accident she’s been trying to find herself again, trying to figure out what job she wanted to do and eventually settled on becoming nurse. Now she was in training, having to do placement at Gaffney Chicago Medical Centre.

YN sighs getting home to her apartment after a long day when she sees someone stood outside her door. Kelly Severide. Her best friend. Frowning wondering why he’s here, YN makes her way over to him

“Kel?”

“YN. You need to speak to Gallo”

“Kel it’s been 4 months since we broke up”

“I know but… he’s not himself. He’s making mistakes, he’s sad all the time. I’m not saying get back with him, but I think you both need to talk to each other”

“I don’t know Kelly. You weren’t there when we split up. You didn’t see his face when I…” YN’s voice trails off as she looks down at her feet

“Please just talk to him for both your sakes” with that Severide leaves YN stood outside her front door with her thoughts.

Over the next few days Severide’s words stick in YN’s head. So much so that she gives in and heads to Blakes apartment. Hesitantly YN knocks on his door. When Blake doesn’t answer right away, YN turns to leave thinking that this was a mistake. Before she could actually leave though, Blake opens his door with a confused expression

“YN? What are you doing here?”

“Erm Kelly said you weren’t doing so good. Told me to talk to you, but i wasn’t sure….”

“If I wanted to see you?”

“Yeah” YN breathes out now looking at Blake

“Do.. do you want to come in?”

“Errrm ok, yeah” YN walks into the apartment that she was once very familiar with. Awkwardly silent they sat down on the couch next to one another “so erm how have you been?”

“Honestly? Not good. I miss you and I still don’t understand why we broke up. I know the accident was hard on you but I don’t understand why we had to brake up”

“I was jealous I guess. Jealous that you got to go to work at the firehouse everyday, while I sat at home recovering from a broken back having to also deal with knowing that I’ll never be able to work as a firefighter again”

“Why didn’t you say anything?” YN just shrugs in response, not really knowing why herself “I wish you had told me”

“And then what? Leave the firehouse because your girlfriend fucked here back?”

“I would have helped you through that. I would have took time off, taken you to therapy sessions, gone to couples therapy with you. I would have done anything for you, but instead you left me and then I find out your sleeping around. That hurt YN”

“I wasn’t… I didn’t…. I went on a couple dates, but I wasn’t sleeping around. I still loved you. Still love you”

“I still love you too. I tried to move on, but nobody is you”

“So what now?” YN asks

“Why don’t we start over. Hi I’m Blake Gallo” Blake holds his hand out for YN to take. YN laughs at Blake’s cute smile taking his hand in hers

“Hi I’m YN YLN” they shake hands laughing before Blake pulls YN in for a hug

“Don’t ever leave me again”

“I won’t”

[backgroundnoisewithaview]

What we should get....

Will thought through the conversation with Sabeena and it was like he immediately was pulled into an out of body experience. In front of him he could see two paths, one where he made the best of his current options, continuing with Verani and going into medical research and pharmaceutical panels and another where he cut his losses completely.

It was like he could see everything clearly. He was stood there in his shit shoe box of an apartment, but he could see the hospital. His friendship with Maggie had changed since she'd got with Ben, him and Natalie were over, she clearly had no problem with Crockett telling him to back off even though he was just there for Carol as nothing more than a family friend. And yeah he and April were becoming good friends whilst she worked with him but it wasn't enough.

His mind spun some more. Natalie no matter what always put him second, or third. He couldn't do right for doing wrong. Choi could have killed a patient whilst under the influence of post op drugs, collapsed in the ED and he doesn't even get a slap on the wrist. Will risks his career to save patients and he is always threatened with his medical licence.

Was this why he became a doctor? Was all of this really worth it? Was this what his life would be like for the next 20 years? Him being tarnished for his past poor decisions whilst everyone around him get theirs glossed over to save their reputation?

He came back to himself, in his shitty kitchen, in his shitty apartment he could barely afford. He was moving before he could really think. He picked up his phone, and didnt have to scroll too far down before he got to the name he wanted.

Hey Con, we've not spoken in a while, I hope you're okay. I'm leaving Chicago, mind if I come visit?

He then power walked to his laptop and booted it up. He opened his email as fast as he could and clicked to write a new one.

To Ms. Goodwin,

This email is to inform you that I am hereby resigning from my position as attending in the ED in Gaffney Chicago Med. I will carry out my month's notice if absolutely necessary however I hope to take my leave affective immediately, like many others before me have been allowed to do. I have realised how this job and place is not for me anymore. Thank you for your support through the years.

Regards,

Dr Will Halstead.

He sends the email without a second thought, and a few seconds later his phone pings with a reply from Connor.

Leaving leaving? Everything ok? And yeah man, come out whenever, you know where I live.

-

Thanks man, Will types, yeah. Long story short, I need a change. I'll tell you more when I get there and I'll let you know when I can leave.

-

Connor replies almost immediately Been there, done that, wearing the t-shirt. It'll be good to see you.

-

Will imagines a different future, with sunshine and a beach and maybe a friend at the end of the day not too far away. He has no idea if he'll remain a doctor, he has no idea how Jay will react when he tells him, but life like this couldn't continue and there was nothing really keeping him in Chicago anymore.

It'll be good to see you too. He replies back, and then sits down, phone thrown down onto the couch slouches against the back of it fully, and feels like he can breathe properly for the first time in a long time.

Could you write one for Chicago Med where whoever your OC is/reader (idk what you write for🤣) gets sick/injured and has to come into the hospital and tries to avoid someone specific? Whoever they avoid is up to you!

First, I want to remind everyone that you should not wait to see a doctor if you're in pain. Stay safe, you all <3

•-•-•-•-•-•-•

“This is stupid”, you grumbled. The heat of your words was taken out by the gasp of pain that followed. “I don’t need a hospital.” 

Your best friend gave you a look and rolled his eyes. “Sure” he drawled out, half-dragging you through the doors to Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. “Remind me again which one of us is going to be the nurse in a few months?

“What… has that… have to do with… anything?” 

Despite the fact that you were sweating and panting, you forced your head to turn left and right, eyes taking in the lobby of the emergency department for any familiar faces. 

“I’m not going to let you burst your appendix because you're too stubborn!” Then, much to your horror he raised his voice. “Anyone give me a hand?”

You hissed. “Stop it!” Your eyes frantically moved around the room. You could see Ethani and Maggie in one of the rooms. “Look, I’ll let you take me… to any other hospital – Ow, fuck!” 

You breathed in sharply, the curse leaving your mouth as there was a sharp jolt of pain in your stomach. 

“Y/N?”

That concerned voice you’d recognize anywhere. Your friend did too as he quickly spun you two around – his arm at your waist being the only thing keeping you upright.

“Hi, Will”, you grasped out. 

“What’s wrong? What happened?” The questions came out like rapid fire, his eyes darting between you and your friend, demanding answers even when he was already closing the gap between you. 

“Nothing’s wrong”, you managed to push through. 

“Stomach pain”, your friend – unhelpfully, you might add – supplied to your brother earning an elbow to his side from you. That didn’t stop him, “I think it’s the appendix.”

Will’s frown deepened at your friend’s words as his hand came in contact with the clammy and hot skin of your forehead. You met his searching gaze with a feverish and fearful look of your own. Will knew why. 

“It might be just a bad case of stomach flu”, he said, trying to soothe you. 

You swallowed against the tickle in the back of your throat, willing your eyes to stop welling up despite the burning in your tear ducts. 

Will took your hand in his and squeezed, before pulling you to his side, taking your weight off of your friend who looked confused.

“Stomach flu? Are you sure, the symptoms–” 

“It can’t be the appendix”, Will stopped your friend. He started helping you move, calling out for April who was passing by and asking if there was an empty bed. April nodded, concern etching to her features as she recognised you. 

“What?” Your friend asked, quickly catching up with you. 

“It was taken out when I was fourteen”, you replied through gritted teeth and then yelped as Will helped you down on a bed the movement agitating the hurting spot in your stomach. 

“Sorry, sorry”, Will said, grabbing your hand and giving it a quick kiss. “We’ll find out what’s wrong, Bean, I promise.”

“I tried to avoid you”, you said quietly, tightening your grip on his hand. You weren’t sure if you were talking about coming to the hospital right now, or about this morning when you had locked yourself to your room until Will left for work despite his attempts to get you eat breakfast with him. 

“Your stomach already hurt this morning, didn’t it?” Will asked, a hint of anger fueled by frustration clear behind the dominant worry for you. 

The guilty look on your face was enough of a confirmation for him. 

You wiped at your eyes with a shaky hand. “I’m scared”, you admitted. “Doesn’t feel like a stomach flu, Will.” 

“You let me be the judge of that, alright, Bean?” Will said, giving your shoulder a squeeze. “We’ll find out what’s wrong and we’ll fix it.” 

There was a finality in his words. Enough that you didn’t argue against his words even if you knew that not everything could be fixed. You just hoped that wasn’t the case this time.

[keepingstarsapart]

did i just see you kiss patrick? (rachel)

@storiesfabled

"I'm sure I don't know what you're talking about."

Despite her best efforts, Madison's cheeks flushed the softest shade of crimson as she struggled to find an excuse for what had just taken place - apparently, not so privately. Unfortunately, the only retort she could come up with off the top of her head in that moment sounded incredibly childish, to say the least.

"Maybe you should set up an appointment to get fitted for some glasses, because it sounds to me like your eyes are playing tricks on you."

WHAT IF… the Halstead brothers had a baby sister?

Yep, I’m here to post about it. I’m a HUGE One Chicago fan, and OF COURSE my favorite characters are the Halstead brothers.

I just have to make somethings clear:

I DON’T OWN ONE CHICAGO OR THE CHARACTERS (if I did, I would’ve changed soooooo many things)!! The ONLY character I DO OWN is my OC (the baby sister).

I DID NOT GO TO MEDICAL SCHOOL (some of the medical info (if not all of it) comes from google search, please, have patience with me)

My OC’s 2 years younger than Jay, and 4 years younger than Will (we never know how old the brothers are, so… I’m taking some liberties here).

This is kind of like a “self insert” fanfic, please, PLEASE if you DON’T LIKE IT, LEAVE, (don’t send hate my way)

Who’s my OC? Well…

Meet DR. LILLIAN MARIANNE HALSTEAD!

She’s my OC, she’s an Emergency Medicine Physician at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center. You’ll all get to know her along the way.

(The art was made with ChatGPT, I’m no artist in that sense, please don’t kill me!!)

I hope you really enjoy reading this story, as much as I’m enjoying writing it.

Kiss Prompts

You knew Will would’ve gained a lot of attention at work and out in public. How could he not? He was downright handsome. You knew you shouldn’t feel jealous because you had him all to yourself. You are his best friend and girlfriend and you couldn’t have asked for anything else. You had grown up with the Halstead brothers so you had known them your whole life and had to watch Will go from girlfriend to girlfriend and it killed you but you supported him and was there for him when a breakup happened. When he went off to med school you went with him and it was the best decision ever. Again, you had to watch him go through what he did when he was younger but in your last year of college you both confessed your feelings to one another and had begun dating. He was very loyal and so were you but the jealousy was still there when girls would flirt with him and if he was drinking, he would flirt back and you knew it didn’t mean anything but it still hurt.

You were lucky to be able to go where he went. Now you both were at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center and you were loving it. Along the way you met some amazing people and you were proud to call them your friends, one of those people being Connor Rhodes. There was one person that you had butted heads with and that was Natalie Manning. She had taken a liking to Will and as many times he had assured you that nothing would ever happen and he wasn’t going to leave you and that he loved you, you were still jealous and on edge.

When you and Will had moved to Chicago you both had gotten an apartment together which made it easier in the long run but now you were wishing you had gotten one of your own. Lately he had been being secretive, coming home late, avoiding you at work, and to add salt to the wound he has been spending time with Natalie. It really has started to put a strain on your long-term relationship. It was getting to you so much you were considering switching shifts to avoid him and Natalie or take on double shifts. To add onto this stress of Will possibly cheating, you had also been feeling sick and just off which you just chalked it up to being stressed but boy were you wrong.

The alarm went off bright and early and it had both you and Will waking up. You had ended up on your side during the night and he rolled over and spooned you “Good morning, Baby.” He said in a sweet gruff voice that you loved oh so much but now it just brought tears to your eyes. A sniffle escaped you before you could answer and that had Will sitting up “Are you ok?” He asked and you wiped your eyes with the back of your hand and nodded.

“Yea, just fine.” You said and turned to look at him with a smile that didn’t quite reach your eyes and he frowned.

“Are you sure?” He asked and you nodded and started to get up.

“Yea, I’m fine. I’m working a double tonight.” You told him while you started to get ready for work.

“Oh? When did you find this out?” He asked, walking in as you spit the toothpaste out and you looked up at him in the mirror.

“When I asked Goodwin.” You said and wiped your mouth and moved into the bedroom and started to get dressed in your scrubs.

“What made you pick up a double shift?” He asked, having brushed his teeth and started getting ready and you shrugged.

“Just felt like I need it and the hospital has been understaffed.” You said and when you were done getting dressed you turned to look at him. “I’m gonna start getting things ready to go and then I leave.” You said and walked over and kissed him but it just felt forced. You were out of the bedroom and into the kitchen before he could respond. When he walked into the kitchen you were already gone and breakfast along with coffee was waiting there for him. He sighed to himself but he pulled out the ring that was in his bag and looked at it and couldn’t wait to get it on your finger. You arrived at work and put your things in the locker room and headed greeting Maggie “Good morning.” You said and she looked at you and you looked back at her with a smile and she could something was wrong.

“Ok, what’s up?” She asked and you shook your head.

“Why would you think something is wrong?” You asked as you took the tablet that she handed to you.

“Your smile doesn’t reach your eyes. You didn’t come in with Will.” She started and when she said Will’s name you cringed.

“Ok, so this is about Will.” She said and you looked at her silently confirming it. “What’s up?” She asked, turning her full attention to you.

“I think he’s been cheating on me with Dr. Manning and I’ve been so stressed about it that it’s starting to make me sick.” You said with a sigh.

“What? He absolutely adores you. Just saying your name lights him up.” She said “Speaking of Will, here he comes.” She said looking at him look around for you and when he saw you, he smiled but frowned when you didn’t even look up and he started to walk over.

“Hey.” He said and went to touch you but you flinched away.

“I gotta go.” You said and disappeared into a room and Maggie looked over to him.

“What did you do?” She asked and he looked at her confused.

“Nothing, that I know of.” He said and she glared at him.

“If I find out you did something like cheat on her. I will personally make your shifts a living hell and give you the worst cases that come in each time. Don’t test me.” She said and walked away leaving a confused Will alone.

Break time came around just as soon as you finished your last patient and you were exhausted, which had been happening more and more. You had just walked out of the cafeteria when you saw Will and Nataile talking but it was more just professional talk, they were leaned up close to each other and were smiling. Your stomach churned and all you wanted to do was throw up but rage filled you and what finally broke you was when they hugged. You stormed over there and when he looked up seeing you coming, he smiled but frowned when he saw the look on your face. “Y/N.” He said and Natalie was turning towards you.

“I can’t believe you. I can’t believe that you wasted all of these years and you go and cheat on me.” You said keeping your voice low but still loud enough “You know what? I’m done. I’m done making myself sick over this. We’re done. I don’t love you anymore. Natalie.” You turned to her “You can have him. Clearly my love for him wasn’t enough. I can’t believe I actually loved him.” You said and then stormed off with both of them calling your name but you just wanted to be gone from them and get to a bathroom. When you were far enough away you walked into the bathroom and into a stall and had just enough time to fall onto your knees and empty the contents out of your stomach. After a few minutes the door opened and the voice of Ava Baker was heard.

“Y/N? Are you ok?” She asked and you stood up and wiped your mouth and flushed the toilet.

“No, I’ve been so stressed about Will cheating, which I confirmed, that I’ve made myself sick and my period hasn’t come….” You trailed off.

“Oh, Honey.” She said and brought you into her arms but that didn’t last long because you were back on your news vomiting. She knelt down and rubbed your back “How long has this been going on?” She asked and you looked at her when you were done.

“A month.” You said and grabbed a piece of toilet paper and wiped your mouth and threw it into the toilet and flushed it.

“You’re pregnant.” She said and you looked at her with a crazy look on your face.

“No, I can’t be. It’s just stress.” You said and she smiled at you sadly.

“Let’s go get you checked out.” She said and helped you stand up and walk out of the bathroom and into a room. She made you lay down and pull your shirt up and grabbed the ultrasound and turned it on and put the wand to your stomach. Nobody spoke but when she got to the baby she stopped and smiled. “There is your baby. Looks like you’re a month along.” She said and you looked at the screen stunned. You were pregnant and you had just broken up with the father and now on your own. “You want a copy?” She asked and you nodded too stunned to speak. She froze the picture and printed out a copy and then gave you something to wipe off the gel.

“What am I going to do?” You asked, looking at her.

“Talk to Will.” She said and you nodded and she left the room after she gave you a reassuring pat on the leg. You sat there looking at the picture and tears formed in your eyes, you needed air. You walked out of the room and ran into Natalie but when she tried to speak to you, you just hurriedly walked past her and up to the roof. You don’t know how long you were out there freezing but it felt good. You heard the door open but you didn’t turn around until you felt something being slipped over your shoulders. You saw it was Will and knew you couldn’t get away.

“Baby, I’m not cheating on you.” He said and you turned your head looking out into the city.

“Could’ve fooled me.” You said and you heard him sigh.

“Kiss me and then tell me you don’t feel anything.” He said and you looked at him and kissed him and when your lips met it was like the first time all over again and sparks flew. All your worries melted away. All too soon it was gone because he pulled away. “Did you feel anything?” He asked and you nodded.

“It was like the first time we kissed.” You said “It still doesn’t explain why you cheated on me.” You said he shook his head.

“I didn’t. I was having Natalie help me pick out a ring.” He said and you looked at him stunned.

“What?” You asked and he smiled.

“I had this all planned out but now is as good a time as any.” He said and pulled out a box with a ring inside and got down on one knee. “Y/N Y/M/ Y/L/N, you have made me the happiest man alive and have since we were kids and I was stupid for not seeing it until our last year of med school. I wanna spend the rest of my life with you and start a family. You’re it for me. I’m sorry that I made you think I was cheating on you. Will you make me the happiest man alive and marry me?” He asked and you had tears streaming down your cheeks and you nodded.

“Of course. I would love to marry you and start a family with you.” You said and he smiled and slipped the ring on your finger and got up. “Starting a family is gonna happen a little earlier.” You said and now he looked confused and you pulled out the sonogram. “I’m pregnant.” You said with a smile.

“What? When did you find this out?” He asked, looking at it in awe.

“When I stormed away, I went to the bathroom to throw up and Ava came in and found me. She made me let her do an ultrasound. I’m a month a long.” You said he looked up at you and smiled then he was picking you and kissing you hard and then putting you down gently.

“Oh, Baby. This is amazing! I just got a super-hot fiancée and just learned she is pregnant with my child. I can’t wait to tell Jay.” He said and then bent down where he was in level with your stomach. “Hi there. I’m your daddy. I love you and your mommy so much. I can’t wait to meet you.” He said and kissed your stomach and you ran a hand through his hair as tears escaped. You couldn’t believe you were gonna throw all of this away but now you have the father of your unborn child back and you were engaged to him. You smiled because everything was gonna be just fine as long as you had your loving fiancée, the father of your unborn child, and love of your life with you.

marlowe craford - i'll publish a longer temporary bio soon, but the cliffnotes. tw accidental death, tw drowning, tw foster system, tw abuse.

Marlowe is the younger sister of Mackenzie Crawford and they are both er nurses at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center.

Growing up, their parents were friendly with the Cornelius and Elizabeth Rhodes, leading to the girls being friends with their children. Particularly, Mackenzie and Connor were close friends.

They lost their parents to drowning during a boating accident at their lakehouse on Lake Michigan outside of Chicago. Mackenzie was a few months shy of 18 and Marlowe was 13.

Connor begged his dad to take them in and Cornelius seemingly agreed but then only took in Mackenzie because he didn't have interest in raising Marlowe for 5 more years.

Marlowe entered the foster system and the first family she was placed with relocated to Florida. They then got pregnant on their own and dropped the foster kids.

As a ward of Florida, Marlowe was placed into an abusive foster home.

With the help of Cornelius, Mackenzie was able to petition for custody of her sister, eased by her current foster home ending in a high profile assault case. Cornelius tells Mackenzie after she gains custody that she can now focus on paying him back for her lawyer and start making her own way.

After watching her sister work herself ragged to pay back her debt, Marlowe insists that her sister stops putting her life on hold for her and encourages her to go to nursing school with her at UIC.

omg wait also. knocking on the wrong door au + reesker pls 🥺❤️

“Connor if you don’t open this door in the next five seconds so help me God!” Ava yells, all but short of beating down the door. “It’s your own fault if you’re hungover from trying to impress that dermatologist at the bar!”

“This is supposed to be a medical conference, for intellectuals, not an opportunity to relive your frat boy days—”Ava is cut short by the sound of the door opening and greeted with the sight of a head of dark curly hair that most definitely does not belong to Connor.

“O-oh. Sarah. Sarah Reese, right? You were the psych resident back out in Chicago,” Ava recalls, taking in the sight of the woman before her, someone she had not seen in well over a year.

Ava remembers that last day. Dr Charles. Goodwin. The business surrounding Sarah’s father.

She’s slightly different now, Ava observes. More assured, somehow. At ease. Ava thinks she remembers hearing Sarah had taken a job at Baylor. She hopes it’s been good for her.

Sarah fixes Ava with a small, sad smile. “I was,” she nods in agreement. “I hear you’re looking for Connor?” She continues, more than ready to shift the topic of conversation away from her resignation and the circumstances that surrounded it. If the gossip mill back at Gaffney was anything like she remembered it to be, there must be at least seventy stories circulating about why she had left.

“I have a feeling that if what I heard is anything to go by, he may be a no-show.”

“You’re probably right,” Ava laughs. “Though maybe it’s for the best I knocked on the wrong door. Wouldn’t have found you, otherwise.”

“I’m not sure I’d call what you were doing knocking, but yes, there is that,” Sarah jokes, smiling warmly, reaching for her bag on the little hall table. “If you like, we can head down to the talk together?” Sarah cocks her head slightly to one side, a little surprised at herself for the suggestion.

“I’d like that,” Ava smiles. “And you can catch me up on what you’ve been up to this past year.”

[thena0315]

I guess the suicide at the end of the last season really hit him
