The longest night in your life, or maybe just one of them. Struggling with breathing, and this awful feeling of not knowing where you are.
It was getting darker, everything seemed so strange. You heard a loud gunshot, a scream, and then nothing. Just silence, like a normal night. But you perfectly knew that feeling. It was haunting you for days and nights, till you finally give up on sleep.
But it was only a bad dream. You woke up immediately, couldn’t catch a breath, tears streaming down your face.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” you sat on your bed when you felt a touch on your arm. You were scared, that’s why you jumped a little when you felt it. Your eyes followed the hand, to meet your husband’s eyes. Jay was rubbing his face with the other hand, to make him more awake.
“I can’t sleep, sorry for waking you up. I’ll get some water.” he smiled at you and kissed your cheek. You didn’t want him to know what was on your mind, so that’s why you went to the kitchen and just broke down in tears. You felt so tired and work was just in the next 2 hours. Coffee was the perfect match for you for months.
It was 5 am, Jay has set his alarm at 5:15, you had only 15 minutes to make you feel more alive.
“Good morning Chicago! Today…” the echo of the radio went through the living room. You made coffee for you and of course Jay. He get out of bed right after you and went to take a shower. You were so thankful that he didn’t see you like this. Even if you were married, you wouldn’t him to know some things about you.
He saw this pain in your eyes, but you couldn’t show him how much afraid you are. It’s not a time, it’s not a place to show your emotions. Just not right now.
“You should go back to sleep baby as you said you’re not going to work today” he took the coffee you made and looked at you. He wanted you to take some time and finally rest. To be honest, you thought that you were dealing with this whole thing on your own, but the truth is, Jay knew about everything. He knew about your past, your biggest fear, and your memories.
“Oh no, I’m going to work. I changed my mind and asked Voight if that was okay. He agreed.” Jay put his coffee on the table and sat next to you. He pulled you into his lap and kissed you deeply.
“I didn’t think you’ll love to work with me that much after our wedding, that’s nice.” he smiled at you. God, you couldn’t tell how much you love this guy. He know you for so long, almost 8 years. He’s been there for you in the hardest times in your life. “I was thinking, maybe we should go somewhere tonight? Have dinner together like the old times?” he asked.
“Sure. 8 pm? We can ask Kim and Adam if they want to go with us.”
“I’ll ask them. Let’s go to make some breakfast.”
“Okay guys, we’ve got a new case. Already, we have 3 children missing and 2 women's killed. One of them, thank god, is alive and she saw those guys who took her kid, she hide so that’s why she’s still with us. They took her kid when he was asleep, we don’t know where he is now, but we need to find them, every single one.
“Wait, so you’re telling us that this bastard is killing their moms? Just like that? What the hell.” Adam almost yelled. This case was the hard one, every member of Intelligence took it very very personally.
Jay looked at me and showed with his head to follow him into a break room. He seems serious and kinda nervous
“What’s going on, everything is okay?” he gave you a dozen papers. You looked at him confused because you’ve already got yours, as Voight gave it to everyone. You opened it and saw your foster family’s pieces of information.
“What is that? I told you to not take this case, it’s too personal for me.”
“They asked me Y/N and I couldn’t say no, they’re your family, they raised you.” Jay was angry at this point. He knew that taking this case can be painful for you, but at the same time he just wanted to help.
“But maybe I don’t want this Jay. I don’t want to know who my real parents are, I don’t want to see them.” you gave him papers and stormed out of the break room. You thought that he crossed the line. First of all, it wasn’t a case for Intelligence, it wasn’t something that you usually do. Second of all, why your parents are looking for you right now? After all these years? It’s not the right time you thought.
Jay followed you to your desk and sat in front of you, giving you a cup of coffee.
“Look, I’m sorry. Really. But don’t you have that feeling like you need to meet them? Or even know who they are?”
“If this is that important to them, they should have put their names in adoption files, but they didn’t. It’s been 20 years, they should have moved on as I did.”
“Okay, like you say. I’ll give up, but please think about it.”
