Hi, I saw you were after requests and thought I'd send one in! I have a few in mind but o won't overload you with them all haha. I'm going to leave one or two here for Eddie diaz.
Reader feels ill at work but brushed it off as a bug or something and eddie asks if she's okay. When they get back from a call she gets out of the truck and nearly falls on the ground in pain. Eddie catches her and helps put her on a gurney. After they get to hospital they find out she has appendicitis and they risk her to surgery. After she's back in a room eddie is there holding her hand and she wakes up and it's all fluffy and cute especially when he takes her home and takes care of her. Chris could also turn up with a handmade get well soon card
The other idea is eddie plans on proposing to reader and discusses it with the team but eventually gets chris involved and eddie ends up on one knee when they are at the station or just come back from a call or something? All fluffy and cute.
Thank you! Hope this wasn't too much!
A/n: Not me having to google appendicitis symptoms even though I literally had it last year...
I'm working on the second idea and will post it ~here~ when I'm done
Warnings: mentions of fainting, mentions of hospital and all that jazz, mentions of sickness, slight angst, love confessions, female reader, Christopher Diaz
You had woken up feeling awful. Your whole body hurt, your back, your side, your stomach. You had a 24-hour shift today and since they were always short-staffed, you couldn't call out. You pulled yourself out of bed, pain shooting through your stomach. As soon as you made it to the kitchen, you took two Tylenol and got dressed for work. Once you reached the fire station, you sat in your car for a minute, trying to ignore the sickly feeling spreading throughout your body. Eventually, you got out of your car and walked in, changing and heading out to greet your friends.
"Morning, Hen." You fake a smile, walking over to the coffee pot before deciding better of it and putting your cup away.
"You feeling okay?" She asks giving you a raised brow.
"Yeah, just feeling a little queasy. I think I had bad Chinese food last night." You smile waving her concerned glance off.
The alarm goes off just as Chimney, Buck, and Eddie start to get breakfast. They all sigh before we head to the truck. We head off towards a call of a small apartment fire with minor burns. You hop out of the truck when we get to the scene, immediately feeling really dizzy and queasy. Apparently hiding it poorly due to your slight swaying back and forth, Eddie comes over to stead you. His hands coming to rest on your waist lightly. "Woah, you okay?" He asks searching your eyes.
"I'm fine Eddie." You assure him with a smile. "I just got a little dizzy."
He watches you throughout the whole call as you bandage a woman's first-degree burn on her arm. He watches you cautiously as you climb back into the truck, opting to stand behind you in case you try to fall again. His eyes catch yours as the truck backs into the station. He watches you the whole time you're getting out of the truck. Even offering you his hand.
"I told you, Eddie. I'm fi-AH!" You exclaim, clutching your side as a sharp pain shoots through your right side.
Eddie closes the 2-foot distance between you in a second, holding you as you faint in his arms due to the pain.
"CAP!" He yells moving to carefully set you on the ground.
"What happened?" Hen asks rushing in with Cap and the others behind her.
"I don't know, she just collapsed." He explains checking your pulse. "She grabbed her side and then just passed out."
"Which side?" Hen asks looking up at him with wide eyes. Realization comes across his face as he looks up at her "right."
"Okay, let's get her to the hospital, she could have appendicitis," Hen says. "Buck, chim, get a gurney."
They put you onto a gurney and load you into the ambulance before rushing you to the hospital. Eddie gets there in 3 minutes instead of the normal 5 or more it would usually take them.
"27-year-old female collapsed after clutching her right side, possible appendicitis, complained of upset stomach, bp stable, tachycardic, fever of 100.7" Hen explains once they reach the emergency entrance.
"Her appendix probably ruptured, we're going to have to take her into surgery right now." The doctor says wheeling the gurney away.
Eddie just watches as they wheel your unconscious form away.
"Hey, she'll be okay," Hen assures him softly. "Why don't you go wait for her?"
"I can't I have work and then Christopher-"
"We'll take care of everything. Go sit with your girl." Hen smiles putting a hand on his shoulder. Eddie gives her a puzzled look. She just laughs, "Please. You think we didn't notice the two of you giving each other googly eyes every day?" Eddie laughs, giving her a hug before heading inside.
After about an hour, a doctor comes to the waiting room and finds Eddie.
"Excuse me, sir?" She says and Eddie snaps his head up. "Your friend is out of surgery. It went very well. Her appendix had burst, so we have her on antibiotics and will have to monitor her for a few days to make sure she doesn't develop an infection."
"Can I see her?" He asks standing up.
"Of course, I'll take you to her now." She smiles and leads him to your room. "She's still under anesthesia, so she'll probably be asleep and a bit groggy for a while, but you're welcome to sit with her."
"Thank you." He says giving the doctor a small smile before walking to the chair next to your bed.
"You scared me, Vida mía." He says taking your hand and pressing a kiss to it.
Eddie responds to the messages he has asking how you are. Telling everyone that you'll be okay. You start to shift suddenly causing him to stop the text he was writing to Buck and look up at you.
"Ow," is the first thing you say. Eddie smiles so big hearing your voice again. A part of him didn't know if he would ever hear your voice again. "What happened?" You ask seeing that you're in the hospital.
"Your appendix burst. They have you on antibiotics and you should be fine." He explains never letting go of your hand.
"I guess it wasn't the Chinese food." You groan dropping your head.
"No it wasn't." He says sadly. "I wish it had been."
"What are you doing here? What about work? What about Chris?" You ask suddenly.
"Relax," he says softly his thumb caressing the back of your hand. "you're going to hurt yourself if you keep worrying. Bobby understands, told me to stay with you. Chris is fine. He's at school and then Carla is going to get him. And I'm going to stay here with you."
"Okay." You smile looking over at him. "Eddie.." you whisper a minute later.
"Yeah?" He asks.
"Come here." He stands up and walks closer to you, leaning down to be able to hear you. What he doesn't expect is for you to wrap a hand around the back of his neck and pull his lips to yours. Not that he's complaining. He's not at all. He's just shocked. He never would have expected you felt the same way.
"Thank you." You whisper after pulling away from his lips. "For staying with me."
"Always." He smiles.
"Y/n!" Christopher exclaims coming into your room.
"Hey!" You exclaim sitting up to see him better but wincing in the process.
"Careful." Eddie chastises you. You just glare at him before turning back to his son.
"What are you doing here, buddy?" You ask as he reaches you.
"I came to see you. The team and I made cards." He explains.
"Yeah?" You ask and he holds up a stack of paper cards. You try not to laugh at the sass he inherited from his father. "Here, why don't you hop up here so you can show me?"
He does just that. Carefully maneuvering his way onto your hospital bed. He sits next to you and flips through each card. Finally you get to his, it's a card with a drawing of you on the front. You and him and Eddie. Your heart melts as the boy shows you this. He opens the card to reveal a message he wrote
Get well soon y/n. We miss you.
P.s. my dad is in love with you
You can't help but laugh at the message inside. "Thanks, Chris." You smile before looking over to Eddie. He has the biggest smile on his face watching you entertain his son. He doesn't think he could fall any more in love with you.
"You should be at home with Chris." You complain as Eddie helps you into your apartment.
"Chris is fine. He's at home with Carla." He says unlocking your door and walking through the door.
"I'm fine, Eddie. I can take care of myself." He only gives me his sassy look to which you roll your eyes.
"You can't stand by yourself or walk up the stairs. How exactly do you plan to take care of yourself?" He asks.
"I can take care of myself just fine, Diaz." You insist with sass of your own.
"Just...let me take care of you, okay? You could have died." He sighs.
"Okay." You smile as he helps you into your bed.
"Are you hungry?" He asks
"There's no way in hell I'm letting you cook for me Diaz. I'm not getting food poisoning." He just flares at you. "I'm fine, Eddie. Just...lay with me?"
"Whatever you want." He smiles climbing into bed next to you, wrapping an arm around you.
