"You got to get her to go on maternity leave man" Kevin half laughed shaking his head. Kim had gone on a rant this morning about the state of the fridge in the break room; she'd spent an hour cleaning it and then spent another hour telling everyone how disgusting they were.

"Atwater, have you had a conversation with my wife recently?" Adam asked "she would flip her lid at me"

Kevin laughed "She flips her lid at everything, if it's not this it will just be something else"

"Well if I don't make it in to work tomorrow, just know it's because she's killed me" he joked as they walked through the gate into intelligence.

"It was a joke Erin, Kevin tells jokes like that all the time and she's fine" Jay defended himself from Erin's attacks.

"That was never going to be funny, she's 36 weeks pregnant you idiot"

"I bet she would have laughed if Atwater said it" he sulked and then got a worried look on his face when he saw Ruzek and Atwater walk into the bullpen. "It was a joke" he said defending himself before they even knew what had happened.

Kevin and Adam looked at him confused "What was a joke?" Kevin asked

"This idiot here" Erin pointed to Jay "told a very insensitive joke to your very pregnant wife and she's been crying in the locker room ever since" Erin explained glaring at him.

Adam groaned loudly "You suck Halstead" he went to walk towards the locker room and then stopped and turned around "what was the joke?"

Jay balked

"Go on, tell your hilarious joke" Erin said sarcastically

Jay smirked a little "Watching your wife give birth is like watching your favorite pub burn down" Jay paused with a shit eating grin on his face, he really did find this punch line hilarious "You know it will be re built but it's never going to be the same" he let out a laugh he couldn't control and Kevin started laughing too.

Adam chuckled slightly shaking his head and walking towards the locker room, it would have been funny if he'd told it when Kim wasn't around, but directly too Kim, not one of his finer moves.

"You said that to Burgess?" Kevin asked through his laughter, Jay nodded "You are even dumber than you look, why would you think she'd find that funny?" he said now laughing at Jay's stupidity more than anything.

Adam walked into the locker room to see Kim straddling the bench seat in front of her locker, she wasn't crying anymore but he could tell she had been.

"Nothing is ever going to look the same again... Do you know these boots are a size 9 Adam? My feet were a 7 before this" she said sadly motioning to her stomach, she loved that she was pregnant and she was so excited to meet their little girl, but she was not a glowing pregnant person, she was a sore, aching, nauseous blob of a pregnant person. Any pregnancy glow people might have thought she possessed was just a fine sheen of sweat that seemed to cover her body even during the middle of the brutal Chicago winter. Her ribs were forever sore, her back ached, she could barely eat more than a few bites of food before she got full, only to then be starving again 20 minutes later. She was well and truly over being pregnant.

Adam sighed and sat down behind her pulling her into his chest "Darlin, everything will go back to its original size, and even if it doesn't. I think you're sexy like this, you wouldn't get any complaints from me" Adam placed a kiss on her hair and rubbed his hands absentmindedly over her stomach feeling their little girls movements.

"While that's sweet, it's not helpful" Kim sighed "I feel like I won't last 4 more days let alone 4 more weeks Adam" she felt a tear slide down her cheek, she had zero control over her emotions anymore "You're probably going to leave me before 4 weeks is up, I'm a raging, crying fat mess"

"Oh Darlin, I got a least 5 weeks left before I consider leaving" he joked

"You aren't funny" Kim said with a smile on her face "Did you hear Halstead's shitty joke?"

"I did" Adam said blankly, not really sure of what the best response would be there.

"I think I need to stop work... I'm driving everyone crazy aren't I?" Kim asked sitting forward off Adam's chest and swinging her leg over the seat.

"I think you're driving yourself crazy Darlin, you've done well to last this long" Adam said cautiously, this had the potential to turn on him very quickly.

Kim nodded "Do you think I have to give Voight notice or do you think I can just finish up tomorrow?"

Adam gave her a cautious smile "Don't be mad, but I kind of already spoke to Voight, your paperwork is already signed off… I'm sorry, I was going to talk to you tonight"

Kim felt a wave of relief wash over her "Thank you, I hate that you look scared to tell me that though. I'm sorry I'm such a mess"

"It's okay, you can make up for it tonight" Adam said wiggling his eyebrows at her.

"Oh yeah, I bet you can't wait to get up on all of this" she motioned to herself sarcastically.

"I always want to get all up on you Darlin" Adam laughed kissing her.

…

"You really mean it when you say you veto Aubrey?" Kim asked from the bed as Adam walked out of the bathroom with a towel around his hips. Kim's eyes wandered down his body and Adam smirked.

"Like what you see huh? You do have a little making up to do if I remember correctly" Adam said as he walked towards the bed.

Kim shook her head "No. Clothes on. We need to figure out this name stuff Adam" she said focusing her attention back on the baby book in her lap hoping he would listen, she knew she would give in, in seconds if he didn't.

Adam laughed "Seems counterproductive, I'm just going to have to take them off soon, I saw that look" he teased causing her to blush, she would never understand how he could still do that to her.

"Don't flatter yourself" she laughed as she looked through the book for more names, slyly watching him get dressed. "You really don't like Aubrey?" Kim pouted as he flopped down on the bed at her feet and started rubbing them.

Adam chuckled and shook his head "You can't pout your way into calling my daughter Aubrey Darlin, I definitely veto it" Adam watched as she exaggerated her disappointment "Penelope might grow on me, Penny Ruzek is pretty cute" Kim's face lit up and Adam felt the name grow on him even more than it already had, anything that made his wife smile that brightly was a good thing in his eyes. "I might need some convincing though" he said with a sly grin on his face.

"Oh I can't pout my way into Aubrey but I can seduce my way to Penny?" Kim asked with raised eyebrows.

"Pretty much" Adam shrugged

Kim laughed and then moved to straddle him, which ended up being nowhere near as sexy as she had intended and she landed atop Adam a lot harder than she had wanted. "Well that was attractive" she sighed disappointed.

"Baby, you just have to look at me sideways and I'm good to go, besides, I think that was very ,very sexy" Adam said running his hand up her side and behind her neck to pull her down to his lips his other hand planted on her hip pulling her hips into his firmly. "I wish you could see how beautiful you are" Adam kissed her softly before taking her bottom lip in between his and sucking gently. "You have never been more beautiful to me than you are now" he ran his hands over her chest and smiled "and these" he sighed appreciatively "well these are freakin awesome" he breathed out as he kissed her again with more force. In one quick movement Adam flipped her onto her back and was hovering above her.

"Promise me you'll never change, you're perfect you know that?" Kim asked cupping his face with her hand and rubbing her thumb across his cheek.

"I should get a recording of that for when I make the bed wrong in the morning" he joked as he pulled his shirt over his head and started undoing the buttons on her pajamas. "I love you"

"I love you too" Kim smiled

"I'm glad we still have that in common Darlin" Adam smiled as kissed her again.

…

The all too familiar shrill ring of Adam's phone cut through their bedroom at close to 3am, Adam felt around the side table for his phone, his head still firmly planted on his pillow.

"Ruzek" he answered gruffly pulling the phone to his ear. "Yeah, ok I'm on my way" he disconnected the call and sat up rubbing his eyes, he looked over to find Kim's side of the bed empty. "Darlin" he called out as he walked down the hall after having checked the bathroom.

"I'm here" Kim called from the couch, where she was watching TV.

"What're you doing? Why aren't you sleeping?" Adam asked leaning over the back of the couch, running his hands down her sides and onto her stomach.

"Sleep? Ha that's funny" she placed her hands over his and leaned her head to rest back on his shoulder "If I sleep on my back, I can't breathe, sleeping on my front is obviously a no go and apparently sleeping on the right side is bad for my liver and the babies blood flow. Which leaves my left side… which just happens to be the side I got shot on, so that just makes my arm and shoulder ache." She ranted

Adam sighed he hated how uncomfortable she was "I'm sorry Darlin, it will all be worth it though"

"I know… there's an upside to not being able to sleep though" she smiled

"There is?"

"I get to bulk watch things like this" she said pointing to the TV smirking "how old do you reckon Penny will have to be before I'm aloud to spray tan her and get her some fake teeth?" she asked just to tease Adam.

"45?" Adam laughed "and we decided on Penny did we?"

"Just trying it out" she smirked and turned her head around to kiss him "You should get dressed babe, Voight hates it when it takes too long to get to a crime scene"

Adam hummed and lent around further to give Kim a proper kiss, which quickly escalated. Kim pushed him away when she needed to catch her breath. "That's not helping you get there on time" she said, quickly pressing a soft and much more chaste kiss to his lips before turning her attention back to the TV.

...

Adam climbed into his truck and looked down at his phone for the address. He re-read the address several times before throwing the truck in drive and tearing off down the street with the lights and siren on.

A/N - When I first went to write this I went back and read the last chapter and realized how bad it was for spelling mistakes, there was also a couple of sentences that just didn't make sense, sorry about that!
