Billy Walsh, lieutenant 55, stared at the carnage of the burnt house. "My God that's the fifth house this week. " The guy was making his rounds. Stolen cars sent straight into a house of unexpecting sleeping families. No one ever able to get out except for tonight.
A young mother was rocking her baby to sleep. The car Hit and she saw it, Felt it explode. She opened the window form the baby's room and put baby outside away from the house. She ran back to save the rest of her family. She never came back.
*********EARLIER***********
Billy stepped outside the truck the fire blazing. "Lets move. Lets get this thing knocked down." He said grabbing an axe and heading to the side of the house. He looked around found an open window. Something told him to stop. He stopped and looked inside the room. A nursery.
A new sort of adrenaline kicked in. He suddenly was a man on a bigger mission. He leaned in and seeing the crib a few feet from the window he took the axe. And pulled the crib closer to him. He slipped through it quickly, no baby. He took a small toy and placed it in his pocket if they found the kid he'd need something to play with. He stepped out of the window to get back to work. He turned and lying just under a tree was the baby. Curled up in a ball with a blanket and a toy to his chest.
Billy ran over and gently picked him up. He began to run back to the trucks, an explosion. He lost his footing he covered the baby, who now was crying. He stood up and continued to run. "Its ok little one. Billy's here." He said running. "Kim I need you now I got a kid" he called as Kim gave aid to a fire fighter with some heat exhaustion.
Kim looked up, "Holly stay with him" she said pulling off her gloves as she ran over, "Here I'll take him." She said, looking at Billy, "Billy get up there you need to be checked." She said stepping up to the truck. Ever since Jimmy had left Billy and DK, had been very protective of her. Like the whole Doc thing, they were ready to push her out of the way if they needed to. When Jimmy left they promised each other never to try to get together again.
He had learned not to argue with her. He stepped up and sat on the bench seat. He watched as Kim assessed the baby and calmed him down to go to sleep. He pulled off his gloves and put them next to him and took off his helmet and coat. "Is he going to be OK"?
Kim looked up from the baby and nodded, "Yeah he'll be fine. He doesn't have a scratch on him. Poor kid will never know his parents. And he's a baby John Doe." She said coming around and checking Billy out. "You need to go to the hospital to get checked." She said, "I think you sprained your ankle." She said.
"Yeah I'll go" he said, "who takes care of the baby now"
"DCFS" she said simply, before moving to the back of the truck, "Holly Lets go" she said as Holly ran to the front of the truck Kim slammed the back doors of the truck. "DCFS will try to locate distant family if that doesn't work they'll look for a foster parents"
"I want him," Billy said simply
"What Billy You can't be serious." She said simply
"I am. He's my responsibility" he said, "I found him I saved him I want him"
"Billy you don't know the first thing about parenting," She said sitting in front of him to cover a scratch on his head
"Then teach me, Kimmy," he said leaning in, "please Joey loves me you can teach me"
"Billy you don't just teach someone to be a parent" she said looking into his eyes she sighed, seeing the determination, "Fine I'll help you." She said,
"Thank you Kimmy," he said giving her a hug, "you won't regret this." Just then He realized his feelings for her.
"I know I won't," she said. Smiling gently at him she taped gauze to his head before calling in radio reports.
