Take A Chance On Us
Chapter 3
The next day,
Kim and Alex were just starting their shift.
"Kim, how are you doing?" asked Alex delicately. "It must be hard being back after what happened, you know that you could have taken a few more days off."
"I know but I wanted to be back at work." Kim looked at Alex, and just grinned.
"What are you so happy about?" asked Alex as they were walking to the ambulance
"Jimmy and I got back together," mumbled Kim.
" What do you just say, it sounded like you said that you and Jimmy got back together, but that must be wrong, as you would never get back together with him, would you?"
"Yes I did," smiled Kim.
"Kim, why?"
"Alex, I know he has hurt me in the past, but I have to give him another chance."
"If that is what you wanted, I hope it works out," said Alex as she hugged Kim.
"Come on, let's get to work"

Later that night,
Kim was sitting on Jimmy's apartment steps, waiting for Jimmy to come home. She still couldn't believe that her and Jimmy were together, but for the first time in months, she finally felt happy, and that all had to do with Jimmy. I just hope this works out this time, thought Kim to herself.
Jimmy walked from his car, and he could swear that he saw Kim sitting near his apartment. He still wasn't sure if them getting back together was such a great idea as he was sure that he was going to do something to destroy their relationship just like he did when they were married. But this time, he was going to try his best not to do that, as he didn't want to lose Kim again.
"Kim, hi," said Jimmy as he went and sat down next to Kim.
"What are you doing here?" asked Jimmy." I thought you had Joey tonight."
Kim put her arms around Jimmy." Joey wanted to see his grandma, so I thought I would come and see you, but if you don't want me here I can go." said Kim as she started to walk away from Jimmy.
"Kim, come here," he said as he held Kim tightly." Of course, I want you here," Jimmy said as he leaned over and kissed Kim.
"Okay," Kim grinned. Kim then started to shiver.
"Why don't we go inside where it is warm," said Jimmy.
"Great idea," said Kim as they went into the apartment.

During the night,
Kim saw Bobby coming towards her. "Bobby, "she said softly. "What are you doing here, you are dead?"
"Kim, this is just a dream" he said as he started to disappear.
"Bobby don't leave me, Kim said loudly. Kim then saw Bobby coming towards her, but this time he looked different, he looked mad.
"This is your entire fault, I died because of you." I lose everything because you couldn't save me.
"No it's not my fault…… it's not my fault."
"Kim, wake up, you are having a nightmare." said Jimmy gently as he tried to calm Kim down. Kim looked at Jimmy." Bobby said it was my fault that he died," said Kim as she cried in Jimmy's arms.
"I really did try my best to save him" said Kim quietly. Jimmy looked up at Kim, he see that she was still feeling guilt about Bobby's death. Is she ever going to forgive herself or is this going to haunt her forever, thought Jimmy to himself.
"Kim, you had a bad dream that is all it is," said Jimmy calmly. "Why don't you try and get some sleep," said Jimmy as he started to go back to his room.
"Jimmy, don't leave me,"
"Kim, I won't leave you," said Jimmy as he went back and sat with Kim.
"Thanks, Jimmy," said Kim as she started to fall back to asleep.

The next morning,
Kim woke up, and could smell something cooking. She went into the kitchen to see what Jimmy was cooking.
"Morning, "said Kim as she went up to Jimmy. Jimmy turned around. "Morning Kim" smiled Jimmy as he was cooking the bacon and eggs.
"Thank you for last night," said Kim as she put her arms around his chest.
"No problem." he said. Jimmy then went and sat down on the chair.
"Kim, maybe you should go see a therapist about how you are feeling" said Jimmy delicately.
"Jimmy, I don't need to go see a shrink, said Kim angrily." I'm fine, it was just a dream that is all it is." said Kim as she started eating her breakfast.
"I told Alex about us yesterday," said Kim softly. "You did?" said Jimmy with this surprised look at his face.
"You didn't want to keep this relationship a secret did you?"
"Of course not," smiled Jimmy." So what did she say?"
"She didn't really say much," said Kim softly." She was definitely surprised for sure, I surprised myself that we are together, but I think is going to be fine.
Then the doorbell rang." I get that," said Kim as she got from her chair. Kim opened the door." Kim, what are you doing here?"
"Mom, "said Kim, surprised.

Author's Note: I know some of you are wondering why Kim was sleeping on the couch, and Jimmy in his bedroom, but for the purpose of this chapter I had to do that!!!
