Thank you readers for all your support on the other fics I wrote! This is a short fic about Jay and OA meeting, inspired by some musing on tumblr about jealous Jay. I really wanted to write a jealous Jay fic, so here it is! I hope Jay isn't too out of character. I tried to stay true to how he has acted when he was upset in previous episodes, but it might be slightly OOC.

For the first time in 5 weeks, Hailey and Jay woke up with smiles on their faces. Since Hailey left for New York, the alarms they set to wake up only seemed to serve one purpose: bringing them back to the reality of another day separated. Today, however, their alarms served a new purpose, a much more exciting reality. Because when they woke up today, they knew, they would get to see each other again.

Jay busied himself with monotonous chores. He had asked for the day off from Voight. He wanted to pick up Hailey from the airport and knew that there was no way that he would be able to sit at his desk for the morning and concentrate on work. He figured if he spent the morning cleaning his apartment, running some errands and working out, that would help him get to 11:47 faster. He just needed to make it a few more hours and then he would finally be reunited with Hailey. And as a bonus, he would get to meet her partner from the FBI.

Hailey had told Jay a lot about OA. He was excited to hear that she was working with an Army Ranger. He knew that this meant her life was in good hands. She also had a lot of fun working with him and had told Jay that OA reminded her of him, except for when it came to his taste in pizza. So, when she said that OA was coming to Chicago with her to meet with the Gangs unit over at the 47th, he offered to pick them both up. He preferred to have Hailey all to himself, but he figured that he could at least extend the professional courtesy to OA. He was relieved however, when OA declined the offer. Apparently, the sergeant over Gangs wanted to make a good impression with the FBI so he would be picking him up personally from the airport. Now all he had to do was stay busy until it was time.

Hailey was ready to go as soon as her alarm went off. She had packed her suitcase the night before and had her clothes set out for the next day. She had to run into the office one last time to say goodbye to the New York team but then she was off to the airport. When the SAC found out Hailey's flight info, she booked a seat for OA to go along. The Latin Kings gang had recently sprung up in New York and the FBI was desperate to get intel on it. Since it originated in Chicago, she thought that sending an agent over to the Gangs Unit to get as much information as they could about the gang would really help them out. With Hailey having worked for both the Chicago PD and FBI, she figured that the perfect time to do it would be when Hailey went back, that way she could act as a liaison of sorts between the two.

Hailey was excited to hear about the arrangement. She really enjoyed working with OA and could not wait to show him around Chicago and her team. She had extended Jay's offer to pick up OA to him but was disappointed when he had to decline when the gang unit's sarge insisted on picking him up. Before they knew it, it was time to say goodbye the New York field office and head to the airport. OA knew how excited Hailey was to get back to her partner, but he resisted the urge to tease her. He had come to realize that she was in love with her partner, but there was something about the way that she talked about them gave him the impression that she had not acted on her feelings. As they handed their boarding passes to the flight attendant, OA placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.

"Almost home partner."

Hailey smiled at OA and tried to control her nerves. Just a few more hours and she would be with Jay again.

When Jay checked the airport's arrivals, he found that Hailey's plane had landed early. His heartrate quickened and he rushed to the listed gate hoping to get there before she got off the escalator. He was not sure what he was going to do when he saw her. He was arguing with the voice in his head that kept yelling at him to sweep her off her feet and kiss her, settling instead for a welcome home hug, when he saw them.

There was a time in his life when Jay was referred to as a lady's man. It had been his experience in bars, nightclubs, even just grocery stores, all it took to get a lady's number was for him to flash a smile and a little charm. He was never lacking in the confidence department and never really felt the pang of jealously when it came to competition. So, when he saw the man standing with Hailey, the one that had his arm around her shoulder, the one that was leaning down and saying something into her ear, he was not sure how to feel.

The man was tall, taller than him, wearing a really nice suit, nicer than anything Jay had ever owned. He suddenly started to feel warm when he saw Hailey throw her head back and laugh out loud at whatever was said to her. Until that moment he was sure that he was the only one that could make her do that. To see this other man, her partner from New York he could only assume, illicit that same response from her, all those fun times Hailey talked about in New York took on a new meaning. Jay began to imagine them eating dinner in a dimly lit restaurant, their hands slightly brushing against each other as they walked back to OA's car, the way he leaned down for a kiss as he opened the door for Hailey. Jay suddenly found himself very unsure of how Hailey felt about him. He thought all their talks were happening because she missed him but now, he had this nagging feeling that she was simply telling her best friend about this new man in her life.

Before he realized how lost in his thought he was, he heard Hailey calling his name.

"Jay!" Hailey yelled as she excitedly bounced her way to Jay. She reached her arms out as if to give Jay a hug but froze when he just stood there. Hailey found herself dropping her arms to her sides and tried to quickly recover before anyone noticed.

"Hey partner!" She said excitedly trying to hide her embarrassment.

"Hey! Saw you landed early." Jay said as he nodded a hello to them.

"Umm. This is OA. OA, this is my partner Jay!" Hailey said as she introduced the two men.

OA and Jay extended hands out to each other and shook.

"First time in Chicago?" Jay cringed at his lame attempt at small talk.

"Ya. Luckily I have heard good things. I'm excited to spend the week here." OA said as Jay turned and began walking to the baggage claim. Hailey and OA followed behind him.

"So, latin players are moving in New York I hear."

"Ya. We have run into them a couple of times. Bosses figured the best place to get information would be straight from the Chicago PD." OA stood by the carousel as he spoke. Jay was looking for the bag that Hailey had when he dropped her off at the airport but before he had a chance to grab it, OA had it in his hands. He pulled it off the carousel with ease, popped the handle out and handed it to Hailey. The smile on Hailey's face would normally make Jay's heart skip a beat but today, seeing it directed at another man, it made his heart drop.

"They didn't want to just tell you the info over the phone?" Jay hoped that they didn't notice the bite in his tone. When he saw Hailey staring at him, eyes narrowed like she was trying to figure him out, he knew that they noticed.

"No" OA chuckled, "they thought it would be best if I drove around, got to see how these guys operate." Jay nodded, relieved that OA didn't react to the tone.

When they got near the exit of the airport, OA noticed a man holding a sign with his name.

"That must be my ride. Jay," OA said while reaching a hand out again, "it was great to finally meet you."

"Likewise" Jay said as he returned the handshake "I am sure I'll see you around again." He said with a kind smile.

"Alright Chicago." OA said as he pulled Hailey in for a side hug "I'll see you tonight partner."

"Don't eat anything! Seriously! You'll ruin your appetite for dinner!" Hailey responded.

She was so excited about being back home with Jay that she did not even notice that he seemed to be a bit distant. When she turned back around to Jay he had already started walking off towards his truck. This was not the reunion he had imagined in his head and suddenly it was really hard to be around Hailey.

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoyed! There will be one, maybe two more chapters! I struggled with Hailey and Jay being OOC. Although I feel like Hailey would call Jay out on his jealously, the girl is also head over heels so I think she may have a bit more patience!
