It did not happen as often as he liked but when it did it was bliss. Being woken up by a hot naked woman climbing into bed with you in the middle of the night was a rare treat indeed.

There was no point of her even getting into bed with him with anything on because the moment he realised that she was there he would be clawing at them anyway. At least if she took them off she would be able to find them again, Adam took very little care of what he did with them as long as they were off in the quickest time possible. He had even hidden them once in a vain attempt to stop her from leaving.

Adam stirred as he felt her weight on the mattress. "Hey Darlin'." Kim curled into his side, running her hand over his bare stomach. As per usual Adam was naked, he rarely wore anything to bed on the off chance he got a visitor. Although he did assure Kim he didn't sleep naked if he had Oliver staying over, although they both had the same bits so really it didn't matter. "We've been to urinals together, men aren't as obsessed about things like that as you lot are." He had teased her.

"What you doing here? What time is it?" He had gone to bed early after talking to Kim. They were still in the habit of calling each other at night to chat. While Kim believed that it was how they were reconnecting when he came back and how he was learning about the life he missed he had reminded her that it was also something they had always done. They almost communicated better when they couldn't see each other however they were working hard to change that now.

Back in those days they would talk every night, even if it was only for a minute and they had quickly fallen back into that old routine and it was comforting. Nothing was the same though, they struggled sometimes to find time for each other back then because they both worked hard and shift work and Intelligence never gave you much time to breathe. Now, it was even harder. Not only was Intelligence still full on but also Kim had two children that needed her attention so he was a lot lower on the list.

So moments like this had to be treasured.

"It's 1230 and we finished earlier than expected and I felt like seeing you." He could feel her body pressing into his; the warm skin, her breasts against his chest and her legs entwined with his, she wasn't wasting time and without even trying he was responding to her touch.

"A Booty call?" He mumbled, slowly coming around. He certainly woke up when her hand found its way down to his groin. "I'm good with that."

"I've missed you."

"You work too hard."

"Hmm, and I think you are almost hard enough." He let her continue, followed her lead and went wherever she took him. Yep, this was bliss and he would never say no to a booty call. There was barely any light in the room so they relied on touch and just knowing each other intimately. It had all come back to them so easily.

Then she curled up with Adam wrapped around her and fell asleep. That was one thing she was good at, falling asleep and she fell hard and fast, a bit like how quickly she had fallen back in love with him. It had been instantaneous. Then they had almost six months of letting that build until it exploded into what they had now, it was pretty intense and they were riding the wave and loving every minute of it.

They both slept better in each other's bed until her phone rang a few short hours later. It felt like her head had barely hit the pillow and it was throbbing from lack of sleep. "What time is it?" Adam croaked as Kim reached for her phone blindly.

"430am." Kim sat up on the edge of the bed and squinted at the screen. "Go back to sleep."

"Hmmm." He barely muttered. This was familiar, getting called out or interrupted at the most inopportune times. Luckily they had finished with the main event. Fortunately they hadn't had that pleasure yet, when the phone rang and killed a moment but it had happened on more than one occasion in the past. He missed a lot about being a cop but this he didn't miss.

They had also managed to avoid being interrupted by the kids so far although Kim was paranoid about that and was overly cautious but sometimes it was more by good luck than good management that they hadn't been caught.

A lot was right in his life now; Kim, she was right and where they were was perfect. He was loving every minute he spent with her it just wasn't enough. Oliver and Daisy were great; he adored them and it gave him something that he never thought he would have. It wasn't conventional but he now had a family and for a long time he had accepted he'd never had that. His job, that was holding his head above water but he hated it, it wasn't who he was but his family was holding him together. He'd defiantly put the interview in his past, it had done what he hoped it would, allowed him, after a week or so of emotional and mental stress to move further away from his life as Paul.

"What Kev?"

"We gotta go, another shooting, same MO." He sounded just as annoyed as Kim was, being a father to two crazy boys was wearing him thin, god help them when the next one arrived. Probably why he had developed the knack of super naps whenever they had five minutes down time. "Want me to swing by and get you?"

"Nah, I'll meet you there, I'm with the kids." Kevin knew that the kids were with Steve's parents. He had looked at Kim like she was mad when she told him earlier. She reached out and put her hand on Adam. He hated that they were still keeping this a secret. "I wanted to take the kids to school in the morning, I'll meet you there." And she was still planning on doing that, she would just get up early and head over and hopefully have breakfast with them as well. Kim hung up and spent just a moment trying to absorb him through her fingertips as they danced around the tiny curls that were forming around his ears.

"We should tell 'em." He mumbled, even though he was half asleep he still sounded a little pissed.

"We will. Next weekend remember? Antonio's party."

"Yeah, right." He had heard it before; they had been putting it off for weeks. Kim loved the little bubble they had created around themselves and because that time so was precious and rare she didn't want to share it with anyone. Those moments alone with Adam were making her feel whole again. She didn't realise how far away from happy she had been until they decided that they wanted to be together and she didn't want to do anything to jeopardise that.

"When you talk to Steve's parents tell them I will pick the kids up from school." He hadn't seen them all week and as well as missing Kim he also missed the kids. They were a big part of his life now; he just wanted more. He offered to look after them when Kim was working but she still was reluctant to leave Daisy with him overnight.

Oliver stayed with him at least once a week, they would have boy's nights and he loved it. They both did. Kim would leave Daisy with him during the day if she needed to run errands or he would watch them after school if he finished early but overnight was too much at this stage and he did think it had more to do with not wanting to deal with Steve's reaction rather than whether Adam was capable of looking after Daisy.

He couldn't complain too much, he refused to let Oliver stay with Steve and it would be hypocritical to demand Daisy stay with him. The only reason he was letting Oliver stay with Steve's parents tonight was because he was away and Oliver did really love them. They were good to him, they always had been and Oliver had been upset at Christmas when he thought that he wouldn't be able to see them again and Kim promised to work something out. Tonight it worked out for everybody.

"Are you sure? Don't you want to go to Molly's after work?" It was Friday night and they often tried to get down there for a drink at the end of the week. Adam would finish early on Friday's and would meet them all and Kim would make it for a quick drink before picking up the kids. Adam would come over a little later and they would have dinner together as a family. He couldn't wait for the day they would leave Molly's together and stop hiding this from the world.

"No it's fine. I want to see Oliver, I miss him and Daisy."

"I will try and get home early and maybe we can get pizza or something?" Kim was pulling on her clothes, hunting around in the dark for her boots. "You sure you don't mind me stopping by?"

Adam tugged on her arm and pulled her down for a kiss, he barely opened his eyes. "You can stop by and fuck me anytime Darlin'."

"And Adam, tonight we are going to talk about the CFD info pack on your table."
