Kim was playing with Thomas and Natalie on the floor while Casey was looking on his computer at some sites. Chuck had helped him find a realtor that does vacation planning on the side. Casey had been happily planning a getaway, 4 day weekend for him and Kim. Kim on the other hand was not very happy, everytime she or the kids came around the computer when he was on it he would close it pulling their attention away from it. That night as they laid in bed, Kim laid her head on his chest.
"Aren't you going to tell me."
"No."
"Please?"
Casey chucked.
"No."
"Why not?"
"It's a secret. Kim let it go, it's something good." Casey fell asleep at least she thought he had before he whispered,
"I love you, quit worrying."
Kim did just a little bit and fell asleep. The next morning, Casey left his laptop open with his email open. Kim's curiosity got the best of her, looking at the email and the name Amber as the sender. Kim looked around and the kids were down for a nap, Casey had run to the store. She opened the email, it was a room reservation confirmation for this weekend. Kim was in shock, there was a message conversation attached to it saying, Everything is organised. I have enjoyed arranging it all and I can't wait to meet up with you this couldn't believe Casey would do this to her after almost 3 years together and her almost 8 months pregnant with their first child. She heard the door open, so she wiped her eyes, standing up meeting Casey in the kitchen. Casey looked up at her smiling before going over to her. He kissed her, before bending down to kiss her belly.
"How's two of my favorite people in the world doing?"
"Okay." Kim said in an irritated voice.
Casey looked up at her, Kim's mood swings so far had been emotional, but not anger.
"What's wrong?"
"I saw the email."
"Oh… Did you like the hotel?"
Kim couldn't believe him.
"What…. John really? After almost three years and 2 kids and another one on the way. I thought.." Kim sobbed.
Casey looked at her shocked, as he caught her, she leaned into him crying.
"What's going on, what's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Your fucking someone on the side."
"No, I'm not. Why would you say that?" Casey pulled back looking at her hurt.
"I saw the email you left opened, you've been so secretive the last week or so."
"You saw the email from Amber? With her rented cabins in Colorado, she's a friend of Alex's. She's my oldest daughter's age, really? I had a romantic weekend away booked. Alex and Morgan were going to take the kids and you think I'm cheating on you? Do you really think I'm that low?" Casey asked, hurt and angry.
Kim tried to step toward him, but Casey stepped back, pacing back and forth.
"I was wrong, very wrong please forgive me, don't hurt me or kids please."
Casey stopped looking at her.
"I would never hurt you, I'm not like your ex and I never will be. I might have had the NSA's reputation for the most ruthless efficiency and an unforgiving nature but I would never hurt my wife and kids. I'm hurt that you think of me that way."
Kim took a step toward him, pulling him into a hug.
"I'm so sorry, please forget it. I love you."
"I love you too." Casey whispered, and kissed her.
"Daddy, mommy okay?
Casey and Kim looked behind them, smiling at Thomas.
"Yeah, buddy come here." Casey said.
Thomas ran to them, Casey picked him up. Kim smiled at her boys, Casey leant over letting Thomas hug and kiss her cheek.
"Where's Nattie?"
"Asleep, both went down about the same time. She took longer to get down than this guy." Kim tickled Thomas.
"How about we watch a movie?"
Thomas wiggled to get down, so he sat him down. Thomas ran into the living room, Casey wrapped an arm around Kim's shoulder, pulling her into a kiss.
"I'm sorry." Kim said once he broke the kiss.
"Let's forget it, okay? I love you." Casey whispered, kissing her again.
"Let me explain, please. It's not that I don't trust you, it's my insecurities. I know you're not like my ex, but you know how insecure he left me. With you being so secretive and seeing that email out of context. Well, I fell back into old habits and thought the worst. I'm so sorry."
"I forgive you. I understand, okay?" Casey hugged her.
They stood there for a minute, Casey started tickling her sides. Kim laughed, trying to get away from him. He stopped and picked her up, she wrapped her legs around his waist laying her head on his shoulder.
"I love you too."
