Kim was surrounded by mountains of laundry and she was loving every second of it, she had spent the majority of her morning in the laundry room it was one load after the other and it was pure bliss.

She was filling her baby's closet with all of his clothes, washing it all before she put it away.

Shopping for him was her favorite thing to do and her bank account proved that, it was impossible to stop. Baby clothes had become cuter since Zoe was baby, she loved how she could dress her sweet little boy like a tiny little man. She had purchased multiple pairs of jeans that closely resembled Adam's though not nearly as tight fitting. Fitting skinny jeans over a diaper wouldn't be an easy feat but he would look absolutely adorable in them. She often wondered how Adam stuffed his stuff in those skin tight jeans, he liked them and well, he did look really good in them so it was a win win.

Their baby had dozens of plaid shirts just like his daddy, cozy little joggers and adorable hoodies, she even found the cutest little beanie for him. She never cared much for brand names but when it came to dressing her son she was a sucker for them. He would be the best dressed baby around.

Adam tossed his keys on the countertop, "Kim?"

"Back here. In the nursery" Kim peeked her head out, a little surprised to see him home before lunch, "Hey baby." She accepted his kiss, "What brings you home so early?" She stacked a pile of onesies on the shelf.

"Done for the day." Adam replied, "That's pretty cool" he pointed to the bomber jacket hanging on the doorknob, "looks just like mine."

"Solved the case already?" Kim remarked, "that was fast."

"Nope. I was sent home" Adam wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her as close to him as her belly would allow.

"Why?"

"Get dressed" He told her, it wasn't unusual to find her still in sleep shorts and a tank top, "We've got to be on the road in an hour if we wanna get a jump start on the traffic."

"Huh?" Kim eyed him suspiciously, "What are you talking about?"

"A little romantic getaway, before little man joins us. One last trip. Just us." Adam told her, "I booked us a house for a few days."

"Adam, we can't..."

"Yes, Kim. We can. We well I did. We're going. I've already packed a bag for you, its loaded up and ready to go." Adam explained, "and before you say it, Nicole was in on it and she told me what you'd want packed in your bag. Get dressed."

"Sounds life you've planned it all out." Kim grinned, "I guess I am rubbing off on you..."

"Here's hoping you rub off something else..." Adam smirked.

"You're an ass sometimes." She rolled her eyes at his crude remark, "Play your cards right and I just might." She pushed him away playfully, "I just need a quick shower."

"Michael?" Kim suggested.

Adam quickly glanced at her before turning his eyes back on the road, "No. Miles?"

"Too trendy" Kim countered, "Gregory?"

"As in Greg Yates? No thank you." Adam shivered at the memory, "You know that's why this is hard. Almost every name we can think of we can tie it to some horrific crime. Too many names are tainted. I am beginning to think Adam Junior will be our best bet."

"Nope." She scrunched her face up a bit, "Talk about a tainted name," She teased.

"Funny" Adam rolled his eyes.

"I thought so" Kim ran her hand over his thigh, "It was a nice try though." Kim closed the notebook, "How about we try not to talk about the baby all the time? It seems it is all we talk about lately, discussing names, diapers, car seats or something else baby related, let's just enjoy each other. Focus on us. Just us, me and you . Once our sweet baby is here I feel like we won't have anytime for us" She brought her hand to rest on his thigh, "I want to spend this long weekend loving you." She moved her hand higher up his thigh, "every inch of you."

"Deal." Adam nodded his head "Baby I can't wait. This weekend is going to be amazing." He pulled her hand from his leg and brought it to his lips and kissed it softly "I can't talk about our baby with your hand...where it was.." he found it hard to concentrate when her hands roamed his body, even when he was fully clothed. He wondered if she knew that he would always be at her mercy.

"Quick question though, can I still talk to him once we are in bed. I look forward to those late night talks." He would rest his head on her stomach and just start talking, he often rambled on and on about nonsensical things but both he and Kim loved it. It was clear their baby did as well, he would often kick as Adam spoke, it may have been a coincidence but they both liked to think it was their little boy letting them know he was listening to his daddy.

"You better. I love listening to you talk to our baby, I can't wait for when you can hold him in your arms. I can't wait to watch you with him, I think it will be beautiful. You're going to be an amazing daddy..." she paused for a moment before correcting herself, "You are already an amazing daddy. You've been that way from the start even when we were both scared shitless. Always looking after me. Making sure I had everything I needed. It can be a bit suffocating at times but I know it's because you love me."

"With all I have darlin', with all I have." Adam pulled off the interstate, "We are almost there. About an hour or so away, why don't you close your eyes and get some sleep."

Kim folded the pillow in half and wedged it between her seat and the car window, she closed her eyes, "Don't get lost."

"The GPS won't let me." Adam smiled, "Sleep baby, you'll need it. I've got big plans." He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

He had found the perfect little lake house to rent, he had only seen pictures on the website but from what little he saw he could tell it was gorgeous. The pictures he had seen of it were amazing, he loved that the master bedroom had a balcony with a hot tub that looked down on the lake. The home had a multi-story wrap around porch and plenty of natural light but what sold him on it was that it was secluded, it was completely private and not another house within miles.

It was just what they needed, they could unwind and enjoy their final moments as a childless couple, once their son was born romantic getaways would be a thing of the past.

As promised just under an hour later they had arrived, Kim was in awe of the beauty around her. The tall and lush trees that lined the long driveway had just been the tip of the iceberg, the property was beautifully maintained and it was evident that the owners loved their home. The landscaping was meticulous and they spotted numerous gardens throughout both the front and back yards. There was even a small greenhouse and a vegetable garden at the back of the house.

"Adam, this place is gorgeous" she led him by the hand as they explored, "Look! There's even a boat."

Adam chuckled, "I think dinghy would be better way to describe that thing" he dropped Kim's hand and moved to check it out, "It's not too bad though, I bet it'd be fun to take out."

"Just think you could paddle me around in it and I could kick back and relax with a good book. Maybe even get a nice little suntan."

"Of course, I have to do all the work. Perhaps you could sunbath naked. Can't have you sporting pesky tan lines." He smirked, he dropped the oar back in the boat, "let's go check out the inside. They said they would fill the pantry and fridge for us, so we wouldn't have to drive into town."

"That was nice of them." Kim took Adam's offered hand and as they climbed back up the small set of steps and headed for the house, "This was really sweet of you, Adam. Thank you for doing this. It'll be nice to relax."

"I am a little bummed about the hot tub though" Adam shrugged, "I had no idea pregnant women shouldn't go in them. That sucks."

Kim leaned into his side, "I bet we could come up with a suitable alternative, there is that garden tub in the master bath and then the lake. You had Nicole pack a swim suit for me, right?"

"Damn" Adam snapped his fingers, "I knew I forgot something. Guess we will just have to skinny dip."

"Forgot? Bullshit. The lake is private, isn't it?"

"It is. No one around for miles, babe."

Kim pushed him away, "Well let's get naked then."

Adam rubbed her upper arms, "That was exhilarating." They had spent a few hours down at the water's edge, alternating between swimming and laying together basking in the sun's rays.

"I had no idea how much I needed this. Thank you." She turned in his arms, she buried her face in the crook of his neck and held him tightly, "I love you. I love that you did this for me, I know I've been kind of crazy..."

She could hear the rumble of his laughter rise in his chest as her head lay against him, "Crazy? You? No way" Adam teased her, his hand running through her hair.

"Funny. Adam." Kim pulled back to look up at him, "I just want our baby to have the best start possible, I know I can get a bit neurotic about it. He's this perfect little person, he's ours and it's just a little overwhelming sometimes. I love him with my entire being and I haven't even met him yet."

Adam wiped a tear that had trickled down her cheek, "I get it. I feel the same way. It's amazing, every time I look at you, I am in awe. Your strength, your beauty, everything. You amaze me every single day. Our baby is the luckiest boy, he gets to call you mommy."

Kim released a soft sob, "I'm the lucky one, Adam. I get to be his mommy."

"Sorry." Adam caressed her cheek, "I'm the luckiest son of bitch. Not only are you my wife, but you're carrying my baby. You're giving me a son."

Kim fanned her face hoping to stop the tears. "We said we weren't going to talk about the baby like this."

"Alright.." Adam could feel himself getting choked up, "That's it no more baby talk. In fact no more talking at all" he smirked as he lifted her off her feet, "We've got a lake house to christen."

It had been a weekend of pure bliss. They had disconnected from the outside world, no phones, no internet, and no television. They spent their mornings on the back porch watching the birds and squirrels fight over the feeders positioned throughout the yard. Their days spent swimming in the lake, Kim had spent a good bit of time reading, and they both took numerous naps. Their evenings were spent under the stars, that was the only time they spoke of the baby, it was when they discussed their hopes and dreams for their little boy.

Kim was saddened to see it end, she had thoroughly enjoyed their time at the lake and away from the outside world. It was nice to be alone with Adam without no outside interference, it was just them and it had been amazing.

"Adam" Kim was groggy from sleep, she had slept almost the entire car ride home and was a bit surprised to find they weren't home but rather Kevin's place. "Why are we at Kev's?"

"He texted me. Said he needed to talk to me ASAP." Adam was a little worried, "said it needed to be face to face" he wasn't sure what to think, "I didn't want to go home and then back out. If you'd rather go home I will take you."

"Don't be silly." Kim waved him off, "I just hope everything is okay."

It hadn't been easy but they had pulled it off, it had required help from numerous people and had caused her a fair bit of stress but in the end it had all come together.

The house was filled to the brim with friends and family, presents stacked high on the table and had begun to fill up the floor as well. Baby boy Ruzek was well loved, and very spoiled.

Trudy handed a glass of a wine to Nicole, "We did it, friend. We did it." She slinked their glasses together, "Kevin just heard back from Adam, they'll be here any minute now."

Nicole exhaled with relief, "I wasn't sure we would be able to pull it off, I was so afraid they'd stay another day, or they'd blow Kevin off."

"I would've gone up there and brought them home myself." Trudy announced, "All this planning wasn't going to be for nothing."

She looked around Kevin's home, they had transformed his bachelor pad into party central, blue and grey balloons were all over the place, streamers were mixed in along with the typical baby shower decorations.

Kim felt his hand come to rest on her lower back as she climbed up the steps that led to Kevin's front door, "I'm okay."

"I know that, I just want help you." Adam replied.

Kim turned to face him, "Help? Is that what they're calling it these days? I'm pretty sure you just trying to cop a feel of my ass..."

Adam smirked, "Maybe.."

"How 'bout definitely." Kim slipped her arms around his waist, her hands coming to rest on his ass, "I know the feeling.."

"They're here!" Nicole announced. She had busted her ass for weeks planning the party and it was hard to believe that it was finally happening. She was a little nervous to how Kim would react, her sister wasn't big on surprises but Trudy Platt had insisted on a surprise baby shower. Nicole wasn't about to argue with her, she had heard enough stories from Kim in regards to that woman, so Nicole went with it and was hoping for the best.

"Quiet down!" Kevin motioned with his hand to quiet the room, "Get ready."

"Fuck.." Adam mumbled as Kim kissed his neck, "Babe..you gotta stop.."

"I don't wanna" Kim whispered against his skin, "You smell so good." They had spent much of their weekend having sex, she was pretty sure they had more sex over the last few days than they had in months. It felt like the beginning of their relationship all over again, it was impossible to keep their hands to themselves.

It was pure bliss.

"I really don't want you to stop either, but you need to. I'm a bit uncomfortable" he gestured to his crotch, "Seriously uncomfortable."

"Oh..babe. I'm sorry" Kim ran her hand over his groin, "It's just so hard..." she teased about his current physical state, "..to keep my hands to myself..." she immediately moved her hand when she heard the sound of the door opening and Kevin's booming voice.

"Ah fuck you two..." Kevin grimaced, "That's just nasty." He shook his head feigning disgust, "I'm glad you could stop by. Come on in" he did his best to avoid looking Kim in the eye. He was enjoying busting Adam's balls but he couldn't look at Kim, that was just too much. "I've got to talk to you both about something, I wanted to run it by you guys first.." he lied smoothly.

"You okay?" Adam asked.

Before Kevin could answer they hit the back of the house where the crowd had huddled together, "Surprise!" Kevin wrapped an arm around Adam, "I was messing with you. Surprise, man. This is your baby shower."

Kim immediately embraced her sister, "You! You did this didn't you?" Kim kissed her cheek.

"It was a joint effort." Nicole explained, "It was all Trudy's idea, are you surprised? You're okay with this, right? I know surprise parties were never your thing."

Kim waved her hand around, "This is awesome. I love it." She was overwhelmed by all of it but she was happy to celebrate with their friends and family. "it's great."

"Wow, man. Thanks for this. This is great" Adam marveled, "Nicole rope you into this?"

"Nah. Platt did. It's pretty cool though. I didn't do anything really. I'm just the host with the most." Kevin handed his buddy a beer, "They've taken over my house for the last two days. I'm happy to do it though." They went out back to sit on the deck, escaping the craziness of the party, "How was the trip?"

Adam took a long pull of his beer, "It was perfect man, we had a great time."

"Its hard to believe the baby will be here soon, you're gonna be a dad." Kevin kicked his feet up on the railing, "We still get to have boys night, right?"

"Of course." Adam rolled the bottle between his palms, "Maybe not every week but we will get together."

"Oh my goodness!" Kim gushed as she held the tiny Cubs jersey up, "This is precious, thank you so much." She hugged Haley, "He will look so cute in it."

"I thought so too. I know it's still kinda big, but it's the real thing. I bought it at the stadium."

"Are you serious? That's too much, Haley. You shouldn't have spent all that money." Kim hated the thought of people spending so much on her son.

"Stop it! I wanted to buy it. Kim, you and Adam are family. That baby is my honorary nephew. It's my job as his aunt to spoil him. Plus we can't have him falling under Kevin's influence and end up a White Sox fan." She shuddered at the mere thought of it.

"Hey now!" Kevin piped up, "That little homie will be a Sox fan, you can count on that."

"How about we let the baby decide" Kim suggested, "Thank you all so much, I'm a bit overwhelmed to be honest." She reached out for Adam's hand, "Adam and I appreciate it, more than you know."

"I appreciate it" Adam chimed in, "My bank account appreciates it." He laughed as he pointed to the massive pile of gifts, it had taken Kim well over an hour to open everything, "I won't have to buy my boy clothes for at least a year."

Kim was lounging on the couch, when Adam finally brought in the last of the gifts, "Come sit with me." She lifted her legs up for Adam to sit and then dropped them down into his lap, "I missed you today. I didn't get to see you during the party."

Adam shrugged, "There was too much estrogen for my liking, Platt was weird as hell."

"She's excited for the baby" Kim thought it was adorable to see Trudy gush over all of the gifts, "she has offered to babysit"

"She's hired." Adam grinned, "So, what else do we need to buy before the baby is born? I mean what more could he possibly need? He's got everything."

"Everything but a crib, a changing table, a dresser" she laughed, "We need to do that next weekend. We will spend all day shopping if that's what it takes."

"Sounds like a blast" Adam groaned.

Kim sat up, "It will be." She moved to straddle him, "How about we pretend we are still on vacation?"

"Yeah?" Adam asked as kissed her way across his neck, "now that sounds like a blast."
