Disclaimer: THEY ARENT MINE! Ok? =D

A/N: ok as some of you may know I am a huge Jimmy/Kim fan and when he called her Kimmy in the second episode (10-6) I melted!!!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He woke with a start and sat up a little too quickly on the comfy couch. He braced himself as a wave of dizziness passed over him, and as quickly as it started, it left. Jimmy got up and slowly trudged into the bathroom. He put all his weight on he his hands, making his knuckles starkly white against his flushed skin, as he leaned on the sink. The face looking back caused a chill to slowly crawl up his back, raising the hairs on the back of his neck. He slowly reached up to touch his face, proving it was indeed his reflection in the mirror.

Again returning his hands to the sink he bowed his head and thought. Simple thoughts that swirled in his head, fueled his love and nightmares and his every breath. At times they melted his heart with emotion and others it brought him down to his lowest low. Now they had a jump start on the latter.

With another quick look in the mirror he forced the water on cold and splashed his face. The towel felt rough on the stubble that had collected on his face, but he welcomed the sensation. He hadn't been feeling too much since that day, well he felt emotional pain. Plenty of it. Sometimes so excruciating it takes all of his strength not to collapse and close the world out.

He placed the towel back on the hook and left the bare room. Passing by his empty son's room, he made his way towards Kim's. He looked at her solemn face as she slept and he could swear his heart stopped. He longed to again be in that bed, but now wasn't the time. It was the time to care, and to watch, and to listen, and to be there. He would go with her today, to the doctor. He would go with her to the ends of the earth if necessary.

He walked into her room and placed a gentle hand on her cheek. He shakily with drew as she stirred under the warmth of his hand.

"Hey" she said with a yawn.

"Shhhh. Go back to bed." He said leaning over and kissing her forehead.

She looked up at him with desiring eyes and pleaded for him not to leave. Her hand grasped his and pulled him back down for another kiss. The sweetness of her lip tingled in his even as he pulled back and a smile grazed his face.

"What time is it?" she muttered as she started to sit up.

"A little after eight, you could go back to bed." He said brushing the hair off her face.

"No, my appointments at noon, I wanna get Joey to my moms before then."

"I called her last night after you fell asleep, she picked him up for one of their little sleepovers." He told her with hesitation, he wasn't sure if she'd be to happy with that.

"Oh, that's was nice of her." She sat up next to Jimmy, "look you don't have to go."

"I know I don't have to." He started, "but, I want to."

"Look, I'm sor.."

"Don't" he cut her off, "you don't have anything to be sorry for."

"I thought he was a nice, stable, guy." she said to herself.

"I'm sure every things fine Kimmy," he said rubbing her back, "you know I over react."

She pressed her head against his chest and let out a sigh, holding back the waterworks was becoming impossible so she didn't force it. She cried in his embrace, oh how she missed that. He continued to rub her back until he felt the moment pass and her tensions cease.

"Why are you always here when I need you?" she asked with a smile.

"It's a gift." He returned the smile, in his own cocky way. "I'm gunna make some breakfast, your choice."

"I don't think I have anything in the house besides Captain Crunch and Pop- Tarts." She said with a laugh.

"Hmmm.lemme take a look." And with that's he stood up and walked into the kitchen.

Kim continued to stand up and get dressed for the day, both of them called in sick so thy wouldn't have to deal with work.

"But you never do know with the FDNY." She said to her self with a shrug.

"Did you say something?" Jimmy called from the kitchen.

Kim just shook her head and laughed. After all this time of standing with-in feet of explosions, he still had impeccable hearing.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Jimmy pulled up into the parking garage near the office. The both of them sat in silence for what seemed like an eternity.

"Your gunna be late." He finally broke the eerie silence.

"I know." She said with a sigh. "your sure you wanna come?"

Jimmy opened his mouth to answer but was interrupted by his cell pone. He was set on ignoring it, but that ceaseless ringing was too irritating.

"Hello?"

"Get your ass down her Doherty!!! We're swamped.you and Zambrano better get down here before ." Jimmy hung up.

"Who was that?" Kim asked, knowing full well who it was.

"Nothing important, lets go." He gave her hand a little squeeze and left the car.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

They sat in the nearly empty white room, sparsely scattered with chairs. He noticed Kim out of the corner of his eyes. She had her legs crossed, the one on top bouncing up and down slightly. He knew she only did that when she was nervous. When Joey was in the hospital for pneumonia, when they got a divorce, when Joey broke his arm, she always did that thing with her leg. And he loved it. Yet another one of her beautiful trademarks that made her the only women he truly loved.

He broke from his thoughts to see and young woman, dressed in a white lab coat, peeking her head out from the door.

"Kim Zambrano?" she called in her peppy little voice.

Kim stood up and walked towards the door with Jimmy right behind, holding her hand. They went into a cramped room and waited on the doctor. He looked toward Kim her eyes were glazed with tears as he put his arm around her shoulder.

He knew it wasn't just about the blood test, it was Alex, and Lieu, and him, and Joey, just everything seemed to be stressing this week. He just wanted to be able to take so of it away from her. Let her take a break, he couldn't stand seeing her like this. She hadn't been like this in 2 years, she had gotten better, he knew she would go THERE again.

When they finished Jimmy joined her hand with his again and they walked out, back to the silence of the garage.
