Landing in O'hare after leaving San Francisco was like when the beetles first came to America. It was insane. The chaos, the cheers, the clapping. Everyone wanting to touch the Cubs coming home as the National League Champions heading to the World Series against the Yankees. It would be brutal but they would give everything they had to come out on top. Adam just wanted to get home to Kim and Jackson. To celebrate as a family.

At home Kim and Jackson had everything all set up for Adams arrival. They knew it would be crazy at the airport so they agreed to meet up at home. Jackson had a made a welcome home sign and helped Kim make dessert. Kim had made Adams favorite meal and had set up a surprise in the bedroom for him for later. Candles, massage oils, a nice deep massage to work out that knot in his back from getting hit and in an outfit picked out just for him. She hadn't been cleared for sex yet but there was other things they could do.

They were waiting at the door when he came in Jackson jumped into his arms immediately, missing his dad so much. While holding Jackson he pulled Kim into a hug as well needing his family close. They brought his into the kitchen where dinner was just about finished. "This looks amazing darling! Thank you for all of this but you didn't have to cook. I would have been fine with take out. As long as I'm with you two." Adam wanted her know he appreciated the hard work but it wasn't necessary. "Baby's it's your division championship you really deserve more and you will get that later after Jackson's in bed." She winked as she walked away. He gulped and started to fidget. Wanting to go now but he had to show restraint right now. Dinner first, then bath and bed time for Jackson. He loved this time of night, father son bonding. He wouldn't trade it for anything.

During dinner they talked about the game, they talked about what Jackson had done with Nadia the past few days and they even talked about Kim going back to work. Sure it was desk duty but he was still nervous about it. They also made plans for while Adam was traveling for the World Series. This was a big deal and he wanted to be at every game even if he was 100%. After dessert the boys headed up stairs for bath time and then story time. This was the routine when Adam was home and he absolutely loved it. He was being the father his never was. He made a promise with himself that he would never turn out like his pops. That would kill him to see the look of disappointment in his child's eyes. He never wanted to see that.

Kim was downstairs cleaning up after dinner quickly so she could the surprise ready for Adam. She lit the candles, put on soft music, set up the massage table and get dressed. Adam knew to come to the bedroom when Jackson was asleep. He of course had no idea what he was walking into but he was excited none the less.

Adam walked into their room and right away noticed the candle light and soft music. The table set up the room and the bathroom door closed. He was fairly confident that clothes were not required for this evening so he started to get undressed while he waited for Kim to come out. He didn't have to wait long and she took his breath away. He started walking towards her but she stopped him. "Not now. Time for your massage first. Lay down face first so I can work on that back see if we can work on the spasms so you will be top shape for the World Series." She confidently told me with a smirk. "You did all this to help me get ready for me game? God I love you!" He laid down as told. She made sure he was comfortable then covered his lower half with a towel for warmth.

She made sure she used enough essential oil so that it wouldn't cause friction. She wanted him to relax as much as possible and actually enjoy this. A lot of men don't so she was going to try her hardest to get him to relax and enjoy. She could feel him tense when she got near his bruise and wince when she worked the muscle under the bruise. He groaned in pain and when she stopped he told her to keep going that it actually was helping. She spent a good 30 minutes just working on his upper back relieving him of the tension and discomfort. She made sure to work his arms and legs too. Saving his head for last. She was enjoying this as much as he was. They would have to do this again or maybe do a couples massage together. After an hour she was finally done and he was groaning because it was over but realized the night was done. "Do you want to shower to wash off the excess oil?" She asked. Some people were anal about that. "only if you join me?" He held out his hand for her to follow. They washed each other spending extra time washing every inch of each other like they were trying to memorize each inch of skin. It was intimate and intense but beautiful. She had never done this before, no one had ever worshiped her body they way he was right now. It made her want him even more. They had to be careful though she was still healing.

After their shower Adam dried Kim's body before drying his own. She was biting her bottom lip, it drove him crazy, she knew that. "Kim are you sure? Your not cleared yet?" Adam was so scared to hurt her but he did want this just as much. "I'm sure. Just be careful and gentle. Less risk then." She needed this so she wasn't taking no for an answer not like he'd deny her. So he careful walked her to the bed and laid her down till she was comfortable before continuing to make love to her. Hours later they were tired and blissfully sore ready to fall asleep in each other's arms. "I love you baby!" "I love you too darling" With that they were asleep.

The next morning they wake up still wrapped in each other's arms. Knowing they needed to get moving soon Jackson would be shortly sand Kim had a doctors appointment to see if she was cleared for desk duty. She was very tired from last night but it was worth it. "Good morning darling! How are you feeling?" Adam somewhat mumbles into her hair. "Morning baby. I'm good but tired. So worth it though. We should starting getting ready. You shower first while I get Jackson up and then switch?" She offered knowing they both needed to shower again after last night. "Sounds like a plan." He got up and headed for the shower his back still very sore and he knew treatment would be necessary today but that can wait till later.

Kim went down the hall to get Jackson up and ready for the day. Once he was dressed they went downstairs to start the coffee and breakfast. Adam came down shortly afterwards ready to go. Jackson was munching on his oatmeal quietly "daddy what are we doing today?" He liked to know what everyone was doing. Being involved in the plans. "Well little man, moms going to go get ready because she has a doctors appointment today, you are going to Nadia's to hang out with Grace and I have to pack for my up coming trip, grocery shop and then get some therapy on my back. Hopefully your mom is back to work today too." It sounded like a busy day but completely doable. "That's good because she has been going crazy around here." Jackson laughs as he calls her out on it. Adam lights up. He is glad this is his life.

After Jackson is dropped off at Nadia's they had to the doctors office. Adam could tell something was Kim's mind. "What's on your mind Kim? I can hear you thinking over here?" Adam knew something was up, she was too quiet. "I'm just worried that I won't pass this exam and I know I have gained some weight these last two weeks. I'm just self conscious and worried I'm not attractive anymore to you." Adam pulled over immediately he couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Kim are you nuts! First off you will pass with flying colors, second I have noticed any extra weight and even if I did I love you and only you. Third do you not remember last night. Literally breathless when you walked into the room. Kim I won't lie there is temptation on the road it's normal in sports but not once I have I even thought about cheating on you. No one is more beautiful than you. Even when we weren't officially together I still wasn't tempted. Because all I wanted was you. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Kim was in tears, she never felt so loved! She never felt so accepted. "I love you too. I want you to be my forever!" After a short kiss they continued to her appointment.

Kim did pass you appointment with flying colors just like Adam said. He dropped he4 off at work on the way to the grocery store. He wanted enough food in the house the Kim wouldn't need to go to the store while he was away. He knew she would be tired after work.

As Kim walking in she was laughing and joking with Lindsey when she saw Kevin waiting inside for her. They both walked over to him both worried. "Kevin hey what's going on? Are you okay?" Kim knew him the best so she took the lead. "Kim I'm glad your here. I really need your help with something important. Is there somewhere we can talk in private?" He seemed nervous and really on edge. "Yeah come upstairs with us and we can talk in the break room. Okay?" He just nodded and followed her upstairs. The team said hello to Kevin, they had met a few times before so they wanted to help if they could.

Once in the break room "does Adam know you are here?" Kim asked concerned, she didn't want to keep secrets from him. "No but I'm doing this to protect him." He responded. Kim knew she couldn't take the lead anymore she asked Voight and Dawson to come in. When they were seated he started to talk "So Kim you remember when Wendy, Adams ex fiancé, came to the house and you guys kicked her out? They he blocked her from calling his phone? Well she started calling me all the time asking for me to set up a time to talk to Adam. I knew he didn't want that since he told me he blocked her number. So now she is threatening to go to the media and talk about their sex life if he doesn't talk to her or pay her off. I can't let any of that happen. I know you guys don't normally do these types of cases but I need the best. Can you help?" He was desperate for help. Dawson spoke up "Of course we can. That's called Extortion and it's a felony. I need you to set up a meeting with her and Adams lawyer for later today. Kim call Peter Stone and get him on board. We never audio and video proof and then she will be arrested and a gag order will go into place. It will also give grounds for a restraining order which you should all get. We have done this before. It will be okay. Everyone do your thing!" He had Kim's back,they all did. Adam was her family so he was their family too.

Kim got on the phone with Peter Stone. While they weren't exactly fans of each other's they did know they were good honest people so she knew he would help. "Detective Burgess? What can I do for you?" Stone answered immediately. He knew she never called just to talk. "Stone I need your help on a case. Extortion, pay up or the sex life of a Chicago Cubs player will go public. Seeing as how you used to play for the Cubs I figured your the right person to ask." No time for chit chat, she got right to the point. "So the rumors are true! Well good for you. Anything I can do to help you got it." He was eager to help. "Perfect meet us at Molly's tonight at 6 to watch it go down." She knew he would want a front row seat for this. "Perfect see you at 6" He hung up needing to get his calendar clear for this.

Meanwhile Kevin called Wendy. "Kevin please tell me you set it up? I won't wait much longer." She was quick to the point. "He won't meet with you so meet me tonight at a bar called Molly's so we can arrange your payout. Adams lawyer will be there, it's the only way to money from Adams account. Be there at 6." He was even more to the point that she was. He was over all of this. "Fine I will meet you but it better be a good number." She hung up unaware that the phone call had been recorded. Further proof of the extortion. After that he got in contact with Adams lawyer, Matt Miller to make sure he was present.

Halstead worked with Herman to have Molly's ready with cameras and listening equipment. While Rixton worked on securing a restraining order to protect Adam, Kim and Kevin. Lindsey did the background check on Adams ex and got a search warrant for her house to be served while she was at Molly's. Dawson and Rixton would make the actual arrest. The meet was happening in 30 minutes. Kim had told Adam that they had a case but shouldn't be home late. As she was just doing surveillance.

Everyone was in place at 5:30. Halstead, Lindsey and Voight armed with a search warrant were waiting outside Wendy's apartment. They would wait for her to leave so she would be suspicious. Once Wendy was gone they entered the building and the manger let them in. He was told not to let her know they were there. Inside they found evidence that she had been stalking Adam, Kim and even Jackson for quiet some time. At least three months or so. That adds stalking to her charges and with a child involved they could try for endangering the welfare of a minor, it a long shot but they would try for it. They sent the information to Stone, Dawson and Rixton who were all at Molly's. Kim was in the very back out of sight watching as Wendy came in.

"Well good evening Kevin. And you must be Adam lawyer. I'm Wendy Davidson. Pleasure to meet you." She came off cool and collected. Cold as ice if you ask anyone else. "Matt Miller and yes I'm Mr Ruzek attorney. Now I understand you have been trying to meet up with my client but he is refusing to meet with you. I also understand that unless he sees you or we pay up you will expose his/your sex life to the media. Is that correct?" Matt was good at this. Straight to the point to trap her quickly. "Well yes. We are supposed to be together. If he would just come back none of this would be necessary. But since he won't talk to me I will get mine another way. Do you really think his little girlfriend would like hearing what a freak he can be in bed all over the news? I'm sure she would be mortified." She basically just hung herself. "Wendy Davidson you are under arrest for Extortion, Stalking and Endangering the welfare of a minor" Dawson read her her rights while Rixton cuffed her. It was over.

When Kim pulled into the garage Adam was waiting on the couch for her. He seemed a annoyed about what she didn't know. "Hey Baby How was your night with Jackson?" Kim came over to kiss him, it felt off. "It was good but I'm a little confused about something. Why did you have a meeting with my lawyer today? What aren't you telling me?" He needed to know. Was he wrong about her? God he hoped not. "It's not what you think. Kevin came to me today because Wendy was trying to extort you. She was demanding money or she would release details about your sex life together. We asked Matt to be there because he has access to your accounts. We had to make it look real. We also found out she has been stalking all three of us. She's going away for a long time. I promise you I was going to tell you tonight now that's it's over. We didn't want you to stress with everything else you have on your plate." She now understood why he was pissed. She truly meant no harm. "She did what? You are kidding me? Damnit! I wish you would have told me. It was my fight too. But I do appreciate that you and your team handled it with discretion. I don't need that info public though it's not all that interesting. It was more boring than anything. You and I, mind blowing. Her and I, snooze fest! Please next time just tell me okay? I was freaking out when I passed Molly's earlier and saw you talking to him" God He was relieved but still pissed that Wendy would do that. God he hated her. "Baby I promise you I will tell you if there is a next time. But for now you, me, mind blowing, now?" She winked and took off upstairs. They only had a few more hours till he left for New York to face the Yankees in the World Series.

The connection he had with Kim had always been electric, magnetic but tonight it seemed something more. Something he couldn't name. Maybe it was because she didn't run in the face of hard times, well she did run she ran right at them. This whole thing with Wendy could have caused her to end it all but she stuck by his side even if he didn't know. He knew the next few months would be crazy with the holidays but after the World Series is over he's going to start looking for an engagement ring. He also wants to ask her dad for his blessing but since she doesn't have a good relationship with him he would ask her team, her family.

The next morning Adam left for New York while Kim headed to work. Her realtor was meeting at noon to officially list her apartment. She was confident it would sell quick especially since its being sold furnished. It's in a good neighborhood and a good school district. She was excited for this. The next step in making her life with Adam whole. She also got ahold of her lawyer to change her will so it all goes to Adam and Jackson. And that Adam gets custody of Jackson should anything happen. She knew that would mean everything to him since he loved Jackson like his own. She loved him so much this all just felt right. She couldn't wait for the paperwork to be finalized so she could give him a copy.

Adams flight into JFK was short, only about a hour and a half. First thing he did on the plane was sleep. He hadn't gotten much last night choosing to stay up and have fun with Kim. When the plane landed he grabbed his gear and headed to the hotel. Once settled in started reading the scouting reports and watching video before heading to the stadium for therapy and then batting practice. He also wanted to do some fielding drills today to make sure his back was well enough to play. This was his dream, he had come to far not to play in this series. He would even take the designated hitter spot which is only played in the American League or when you have inter league play like tonight. As long as he is in the game somehow he will be happy.

Back in Chicago Kim apartment was officially listed for sale and her will was in the process of being changed. Since on desk duty she had more time to do stuff like this since she wasn't allowed to be running around on the streets. It was a simple drug bust, it never goes quiet to plan but close enough today. Few bruises but nothing broken. She knew she could cheer them up. "Everyone I have some news that will make y'all very happy! Adam has given us all tickets to game 4 of the World Series in his suite! He wants everyone there to celebrate when they win. Hope you all can make." Kim was so excited. She loved baseball and loved Adam so this was win win for her. Everyone cheered, excited to be invited back to his suite. Definitely a nice perk of their friend dating a celebrity.
