Don't ask where this idea came from, as I have no clue. It's silly, fluffy and perhaps just a bit too sweet. I'm gonna blame it on the pain meds and lack of sleep...

Kim shifted in the recliner, her very large belly served her well these days. She had found it made a great snack tray. She steady the bowl of popcorn with one hand and used her other to prop herself up a bit.

Pregnancy wasn't all it was cracked up to be.

She was fat.

She refused to bend over in fear that she would topple over.

She was now at eight months pregnant and they had finally loosened the restrictions they had placed on her, for that she was thankful.

She was placed on strict bed rest after she started having contractions at just over five months pregnant, it was way too early. It had scared her and Adam both.

Adam.

She loved that man more than life itself, but damn if he wasn't annoying.

They admitted her to the hospital when the contractions first started, they pushed all sorts of medicine during her two week stay. It had worked and the contractions stopped and their little jelly bean started to behave. She was discharged but ordered off her feet, that even though everything had settled down they feared if contractions started again, there'd be no stopping them.

They sent her home with monitors and a novel of instructions which included how to administer her medicine, which would come via a shot.

Adam had passed out cold when the nurse was instructing him on how to do it. He had dropped like a ton of bricks, they waved smelling salts beneath his nose and he was up and on his feet in a flash. His face was bright red and his ego dinged, Kim quickly learned that she'd be the one to do it.

He hovered over her to the point of near suffocation, it was sweet and she loved him for it. It was all a bit overwhelming and he often caught the brunt of her anger. It seemed anything would set her off, and it was always something trivial.

The sound of him breathing often got under her skin, she'd glare at him from the recliner and envision herself smothering him with a pillow. Only to burst into tears, feeling horrible for thinking such thoughts. Though, those thoughts returned at night, his snoring would wake the dead.

They also prevented the pregnant from sleeping, she would 'accidentally' kick his legs or back in hopes of waking him. It worked. He would wake up and she would finally start to doze off only for his snoring to return.

It was a vicious cycle.

Eventually Adam moved to the guest bedroom, Kim hated it but the need for sleep was greater. That had lasted a few weeks. Adam hated not being with her at night and he was constantly checking on her, which meant he didn't sleep.

Kevin had been their hero, he bought Kim ear plugs and sleep returned to the Ruzek house.

It was blissful.

Adam returned to work a week after Kim was discharged from the hospital, and Kim practically pushed him out the door.

Her sister Nicole dropped in daily, along with Adam's father and his mother, only on the days, Bob didn't. Nancy Ruzek refused to breathe the same air as her ex-husband and made damn sure everyone knew it.

Even Trudy Platt visited, she always came with an armful of pre cooked meals. It was heartwarming to see their friends circle the wagons around them, everyone pitched in and helped out all in an effort to keep the jelly bean from an early appearance.

Jelly beans had been her guilty pleasure, her very first craving. She craved them even before she knew she was pregnant. It was a serious addiction and she lost her shit on Adam when he brought home some 'cheap knock off' as she declared them right before she threw the bag at him, causing the bag to explode and jelly beans scattered throughout the living room. She would only eat 'Jelly Belly' jelly beans, and that he was 'some kind of stupid' to not know that.

She sobbed uncontrollably as he cleaned them up, he held her once he had finished cleaning. If she wasn't crying he would have laughed at the situation, later that night he went and bought three bags of Jelly Belly jelly beans.

She let him know just how much she appreciated it as soon as she finished devouring one of the bags.

He quickly learned to sort the beans and remove all the red and pink ones, those were 'disgusting' and she swore their flavor rubbed off on the other ones.

As the weeks progressed and their Jelly Bean behaved things became a bit easier. Adam wasn't constantly fawning over her and she was able to get around a bit more. They still took precautions and Kim made sure she didn't do to much, but they were okay with Kim getting out of the house a bit more.

The reprieve didn't last long, though now it was for different reasons, she was as big as a house. She was incredibly uncomfortable and now she couldn't wait to meet their baby boy.

She was back to spending most of her days in the recliner.

That chair had been a godsend, Adam had ended up at a furniture store while working a case and spotted the pregnant sales lady resting in it. He chatted her up and had one set to be delivered the very next day.

Best money he had every spent.

That was where she spent most of her time now, a small black refrigerator at her side stocked with all of her favorite drinks. The television remote in her hand and her newest obsession played out before her on the giant television Adam just had to have.

Milo and Otis.

Why it was her favorite she hadn't a clue, there was something about it that just made her heart swell. The little orange cat Milo was her favorite, she loved watching him as he snuggled up against the cow. Little Otis was adorable, despite Adam's claims that the dog was so ugly it was cute.

As the credits rolled she set the bowl of popcorn on the table and rubbed her belly, Jelly Bean was fairly active and seemed to enjoy stomping on her bladder.

Adam could hear the familiar music, and whispered a silent thank you that the movie was over. He wandered into the living room a bit surprised when Kim was nowhere to be found.

"Kim! Darlin', where are you?" Her car still parked in the driveway let him know she was still home.

His voice broke through the sound of the shower, "Back here!" She called out, "I'm in the shower."

Adam kicked his shoes off as he entered their bedroom, it was her new rule. No shoes in their bedroom or the nursery, she had come up with many rules. Adam feared it would only get worse once the baby was born.

He yanked his shirt off and stepped out of his jeans, he yanked the shower curtain back and attempted to join his wife.

She stopped him, placing her hand on his chest, "Stop right there buddy. What do you think you're doing?" She asked.

"Joining my beautiful and hot as hell wife in the shower" he smirked as he ran his hand over her belly, "Come on let me in." He begged when her hand didn't budge.

"No. You're not coming in" She moved her hand from her stomach, "I'm showering, because my water broke. Lord knows when I will get a proper shower again."

Adam felt panic fill his gut, "Wait...w-what did you say?" He stammered a bit.

Kim turned the tap off, as she stepped out of shower she grabbed her robe off the hook. She could see the panic and fear in his eyes. "Jesus, Adam. It's not like the baby is coming now, pull it together babe. I've called the doctor, she is going to meet us at the hospital." She ran a towel over her hair as she went into their bedroom.

Adam stood frozen in place.

She grabbed her leggings, "Adam, you're coming, right?"

He suddenly found his feet, "Yes. Are you in pain? Can you dress yourself? What do I need to do?" His words jumbled together, a audible shakiness in his voice.

"Start by getting dressed, Adam." She replied.

THE NEXT DAY

She was exhausted, felt as if she'd never feel human again. She ached in places she never even knew she had, but she was happy.

Blissfully, beautifully happy.

She peered over at her husband, her favorite man.

He looked as rough as she felt, his hair was a mess a few strands had fallen in his eyes, she didn't need to see his eyes to know he was sleeping.

Finally.

What took her breath away was the tiny bundle on his chest, his strong arms wrapped lovingly around him. Kim knew that her son was safe in those strong arms, arms that had held just as lovingly.

Swaddled in the pale blue blanket, a gift from the Chicago Police department, a tiny stocking cap on his bald little head.

Their jelly bean.

Their baby boy.

Her favorite little boy.

Two had become three.

He'd been with them for nearly a day and she couldn't remember her life without him, it was as if the minute he was placed in her arms, a new life began.

Their life with their precious son.

On the edge of the blanket she caught sight of the intricate stitching on the blanket 'Adam Michael.' He was to be named after his daddy, and she loved it. She truly did, but over the last few weeks another name had taken hold of her heart. She had yet to talk to Adam about it, but she she had to.

As if on cue, the baby began to squawk. His cry was the sweetest sound she had ever heard, though she was certain it wouldn't be quite so sweet in the middle of night.

To say she was surprised when Adam opened his eyes would be a massive understatement, "Hey man.." Adam spoke softly, kissing the top of the baby's head, "You hungry?" He asked.

Carefully he rose from the chair and gently laid him in Kim's arms, his heart swelled with love for two most important people in his life, his baby in Kim's arms took his breath away. "Hey.." Adam smiled as he stole sweet but all to brief kiss from his wife. He knew he'd have to get used to sharing Kim with his little boy. "I think the boy is hungry.." he grabbed a bottle of formula handed it to Kim.

Kim laughed as the baby gurgled and grunted as he ate, his lids heavy and he quickly drifted back to sleep as he ate.

"He's cute as fuck, isn't he?" Adam asked, stroking the boy's hand marveling at how long and slender his fingers were.

Kim rolled her eyes, "It won't be long before this little one talks, you might want to work on that mouth of yours..."

Adam saw an opening, "You love my mouth...at least that's what you said the other night..." he dodged her hand as she reached out to slap him. He let the rest of his sentence remain unsaid. He knew when it was best to just shut up. "I'm kidding. He's beautiful though, bald as can be but beautiful nonetheless."

Kim placed the empty bottle on the bed and moved the baby to rest against her shoulder, patting his back lightly. "He looks like you."

"Devastatingly handsome." Adam laughed.

"Something like that." She chuckled, "How much does naming him after you mean to you?"

He was a little unsure of why she was asking, "I don't know.." he shrugged, "Not that much, not really. Why?"

Kim inhaled the baby's scent as she nuzzled her nose under his chin, she couldn't get enough of him. All of the pain, and aggravation she had gone through to get to this moment had been worth it. As she nestled him in the crook of her arm she couldn't help but smile as her son looked up at her. His eyes as dark as his daddy's and she was captivated by them.

"What if Adam was his middle name, would that be ok?" She slipped the pacifier into the baby's mouth.

"First name?" Adam asked as situated himself behind Kim on the bed, resting his chin on her shoulder when she leaned back against him.

"For the last few weeks, I've had this name, it just stuck with me. I love it, and I'm not sure how you'll feel about it. Be honest, okay?"

"What is it?" He asked he ran the back of his index finger over the baby's forehead, pulling the hat further down on his head, "We need to get to work on that hair, Son. That's our bread and butter, the ladies love our hair. Your mom loves mine." He teased, "Tell me the name."

"Be honest. You won't hurt my feelings...he's your son as well. You should..."

Adam cut her off, "Name, baby. Tell me the name."

Kim took a deep breath, "Milo." She studied his face, looking for even the smallest indication of how he felt about.

Adam laughed, "That damn movie." He looked at his son, "Milo, huh? Whaddya think little man, you're the one who has to live with. Are you Milo Adam Ruzek?"

A soft gurgle from the baby made them both laugh, Adam smiled "Well that settles it. Welcome to the world Milo."

As I stated earlier, not entirely sure where this came from. My only guess is the Milo V. Interview I saw this morning. I hope this wasn't awful, I had fun writing it.
