Chicago PD characters - Hailey Upton and Jay Halstead
Chicago Med characters - Sarah Reese and Connor Rhodes
June 2020
Hailey Upton POV
Jay and I are hours away from being officially married. He proposed to me last Christmas and we are getting married today which also happens to be fathers day. I wanted a fathers day wedding because I thought we could honor Jay's father who is no longer with us. It took a little convincing on my part but jay knows how much getting to dance with my dad on fathers day means to me.
Jay has a lot of friends living in Chicago so we invited lots of people in addition to each of our families. Jay's brother will is his best man and my sister is my maid of honor.
The wedding will be starting in a few moments and I am more nervous than any other day in my life. Don't get me wrong I am also really happy but I worry too much that something is going to go wrong. As the wedding was about to start I was going over my vows. I decided to change them last minute so hopefully, I will remember exactly what I want to say.
General POV
Almost the entire Chicago PD station, Chicago Fire department, and Chicago med staff were at the wedding. It was so many people that not one seat was left untaken.
Jay: Hailey, when we met 5 years ago I saw you as a person that would make a great lifetime friendship. Then a year after that you helped me when I was going through tough times. I knew from that moment I wanted to be your wife someday once the timing was right. I knew that would have to wait a bit because we had both just gotten out of our last relationship. I promise that you will be my one and only true love for the rest of my life.
Hailey: Jay, you will always be the perfect person for me. You showed me that through life's many twists and turns many great things can still come out at the end. When our friendship started out I had wished that someday we could be more than friends and that someday is today. I promise that this decision to be more than friends will be worth it each and every day.
Do you promise to love Hailey Upton to be your wife through all times no matter if good or bad?
Jay: I do
Do you promise to love Jay Halsted to be your husband through all times no matter if good or bad?
Hailey: I do
After the wedding, we had our photos taken outside. Some pictures were just us and others were with family and our closest friends.
The reception was back at the hotel but we had a long night of drinking, eating, and dancing ahead for all of us.
When it was time for the bouquet toss to see who would be the next to get married every lady was hoping to catch it. I threw the bouquet and the person to catch it was Dr. Reese. She used to work at Chicago med but moved and now works in New York City. I don't know if she is dating anyone now but it looks like her and Dr. Rhodes are now really close friends.
Hours later everyone was tired and ready to go back to their hotel rooms. I noticed Dr. Resse and Dr. Rhodes talking while sharing deserts from the late night food table. I walked closer to see if I could hear the conversation but they noticed me and stopped talking.
Hailey: I didn't mean to interrupt but it seems like you two are the last guest left at the wedding.
Sarah: Wow I didn't realize everyone left
Connor: Thanks for inviting us since you don't really know us that well.
Hailey: Well, of course, I had to invite you. My now brother in law is good friends of yours and I didn't want to leave either of you out of my wedding. I know you left Chicago med before I started working with Chicago PD.
Sarah: About that, I'm actually moving back to Chicago and will start working at med again next month.
Connor: I'm also planning to move back to Chicago and start working at med again in the next few months.
Hailey: Perfect because that means we will have a chance to get to know each other.
Sarah: Well as it turns out we got engaged last night so I would love to have you help plan our wedding. We probably won't get married to next year but it's never to early to start the planning.
Connor: I wasn't going to tell anyone here since our own family doesn't know yet so can you keep that on the down low.
Hailey: Can I tell Jay?
Connor: You can but then he would tell Will so word would get everywhere around Chicago quickly.
After saying goodnight to the newly engaged couple I walked back over to Jay who was waiting patiently for me.
Jay: So are you ready for our first night as a married couple?
Hailey: Yes
We got into an elevator and went up to our hotel room.
I had a surprise for Jay that I have been waiting all day to tell him.
Hailey: Do you have any wishes for 1111 pm?
Jay: Just one but if I say it out loud then it won't be true.
Hailey: Well then don't say the wish out loud.
Jay said his wish in secret and I was curious if what I am about to tell him is his wish.
Hailey: Before fathers day is over there is something I need to tell you.
Jay: What might that be.
Hailey: Well you should know that next year before fathers day you will be a new dad.
Jay: So you are pregnant.
Hailey: Yes but how did you find out because I have known for 2 weeks but told no one but our dog.
Jay: you didn't tell me but you not drinking at our wedding told me.
