"Hey Jimmy" kim said as she walked into the firehouse for her shift that day.

"Hey Kimmy, I got Joey this weekend?" he replied

"yeah"

"aiight." he said grinning

Kim was his exwife, but he still loved her, little does he know, she loves him still too.

Kim walked upstairs to the locker room to change for her shift... she slipped out of her jeans and into her work slacks, she then slipped her shirt over the white tank she was wearing.. she grabbed her stethascope from the door knob and put it around her neck, grabbing her coat out of the closet she walked back down the stairs.

"ready to go alex?" she asked as she poured some coffee into a mug.

"Yeah" alex said standing up and putting her jacket on and following Kim to the bus.

"how's joey?" alex asked once they where in the bus.

"good, Jimmys taking him to the zoo this weekend."

"I bet he's excited."

Kim smiled "I dont know whos more excited, him or jimmy."

Alex laughed "jimmys nothing but a kid himself." she said

"True"

"central to boyd 553"

"go ahead central" alex said into the raido handset.

"Unknown medical, corner of 14th and 27th"

"10-4" alex said flipping on the lights and sirens.

"I LOVE THIS JOB!" Kim yelled.

Alex smiled and shook her head

Kim stopped on the side of the road and got out, she walked around to the back of the bus, pulling the double doors open and got the equipment bags out of the back.... she slammed the doors shurt and followed alex to the sidewalk.... their gazes met an elderly man, looking to be about 75, sitting with his back leaning against the side of a building...Kim dropped the bags next to him, and kneeled down.

"Did you clal 911 sir?" she asked him with a kind smile.

he nodded

"what seems to be the problem?" Alex asked also kneeling

"Oh.. its nothin' major... I'm jus, jus having some trouble catching my breath ya see.... I was christmas shopping..." he said

"and I was trying to get my granddaughter something nice... and I dont know what to get her, ya see she's 2..." he said

Alex smiled

"I cant help you with christmas ideas, but I can help with the breathing." she said pulling a plastic bag out of the red eqipment bag and she ripped the bag and pulled the oxygen mask out, hooking the tube up to the oxygen tank she put it on the mans face...

The Man Relaxed some..

"Do you want to go to the hospital?" Kim asked.

"No, I'm okay now, I just want to find that gift." he said "thank you ladies."

Kim smiled "its no problem" she said taking the mask off and zipping up her bag. "You have a merry christmas, and dont hesitate to call if you need us." she said walking back to the back of the bus, putting the bags back in there and climbing in the cab of the ambulance

"I love thoes kind of calls." Kim said

"me too." alex nodded in agreement

Kim drove back to camelot, which is what the fire and police departments call the stations because they are on the corner of King and Arthur.

Kim and Alex walked back into the station....

"Man its cold out there." Kim said

"Yeah it is." Alex said as she shed her jacket.

Jimmy looked at Kim...

"I miss you kimmy." he said under his breath.

"what was that jimmy?" Kim asked

"what? Oh Nothing..."
