Title: Meant to Be-chapter 8
Disclaimer: If you're dumb enough to think I own Third Watch, you shouldn't be aloud to leave your house.
Author's Note: I know, I know! It's been way too long since my last update. I keep getting sidetracked on other stories, but I promise I'll try harder. Convinced? Yeah, me either.

It was only a matter of time before the guys at the station found out about Kim and Jimmy, but Kim was doing everything in her power to make sure it was later than sooner. It was hard, considering they both were spending so much time at work and the only times they could find to be together were the down times between calls. It was getting harder to keep that idiotic smile off her face.
Despite the fact that they never really had much alone time, things were going great for the two of them. It could also possibly be that Kim still had not shared any of her concerns with Jimmy. He was being incredible and she didn't want to jinx that by mention any of the doubts that she had.
Tonight would actually be the first night that the two of them were off at the same time. Alone time would still be a little tricky though. Joey knew about the two of them dating, but she didn't want him to see them spending the night together yet. And if Kim asked her mom to watch Joey, she would have to explain why.
Jimmy walked up the stairs and reached the landing to find Kim lost in thought. He smiled as she worried her bottom lip between her teeth. It was a habit she always did when she was nervous and he had always thought it was cute. "Deep thoughts?"
Kim jumped slightly at the unexpected intrusion, "You scared me," she breathed out.
Jimmy sat across from her on the opposite bed, "You're worried about something," he stated matter-of-factly.
"No I'm not," she chuckled nervously.
Jimmy gave her a knowing look, "Tell me what's on your mind."
"Nothing," she lied, "I was just thinking that I was hungry and we should go and get something to eat." Jimmy quirked an eyebrow at her, sending the clear message that he knew she was lying. "What," Kim laughed at the look.
"Are you nervous about tonight?" he asked softly.
"Why would I be nervous. It won't be our first time," she smiled coyly at him.
Jimmy laughed, "Alright then. Why don't you tell me what's on your mind so I don't have to guess."
"It's nothing, really," Kim tried to assure him. Knowing that he wasn't going to take that for an answer, she sighed, "I was just wondering how you planned on going about tonight."
Jimmy gave her a confused look, "Go about? You lost me."
"Well, you can't stay over with Joey at home and if I ask my mom to watch him, she'll want a reason," she explained.
"Joey knows were back together. We can't hide forever, Kim," he said, moving to sit next to her.
Kim sighed, "I know that, but we have to go slow. We can't just start spending the night together. He has to get used to the idea of us together again; spend time with us together."
"Kim, we have been spending time with him together lately. And remember last week when he asked me if I could stay over," Jimmy reminded her, "I don't think it's been that hard for him to adjust."
"That doesn't mean that he's ready to see us sleeping together," Kim tried to reason.
"Well, no kid should have to see that," Jimmy teased and dodged a punch.
"That's not what I meant and you know it," she tried not to smile.
Jimmy laid back against the headboard and put one leg behind her to keep contact, "I know it's a big step, but it'll be ok."
"I just don't want to get his hopes up or confuse him," Kim nervously played with the hem of her shirt.
"It's new for everybody, but we'll work through it together," he tried to reassure her.
"You want to give that speech to my mom?" Kim laughed half-heartedly.
Jimmy groaned, "Well that's an entirely different story. She's not gonna be happy no matter how much you sugar coat it."
"Which is why I'm not gonna say anything" Kim chuckled.
"Baby, she's the only one that can watch him."
"Maybe Alex can take him for the night," Kim grasped at straws.
"Alex is working a double tonight," he reminded her.
"Well, maybe he can spend the night with a friend."
Jimmy sat up and turned her face to look at him, "We have to tell her sometime."
"Jimmy, it's too soon. We've only been dating for two and a half months and we just barely told Joey."
"Kim, we've been dating for two and a half months and haven't been able to have one night completely to ourselves. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of making love in the back of an ambulance bus," Jimmy reached over and brushed some hair away from her face, "I want to be with you. Tonight."
Kim leaned over and kissed him gently, "I want to be with you too, but I just don't want to deal with my mom yet. She's gonna be so pissed."
Jimmy just looked at her. "I love you, Kim. I'm not going anywhere this time." Jimmy kissed her deeply, hoping to convince her. "I'm gonna drive you to you mom's to pick Joey up. You can come by later on tonight if you want," he suggested hopefully. "If you want to stay there tonight though, it's ok. We'll just do it another night."
"No we won't," Kim sighed sadly.
Jimmy smiled and kissed her forehead, "I promise you we will."
@@@@@@@
Kim sat in the living room at her mom's house. Joey had already fallen asleep and her mom had insisted that she leave him there for the night. She almost laughed at the offer. Here she was thinking she was gonna have to beg to get her to watch him and she flat out offered. Life was weird like that. Now all she had to do was think of an excuse not to stay herself.
"Kimmy, you'll never guess who I ran into yesterday at the grocery store," Katherine smiled and sat down next to her daughter. "Do you remember Michael Welling?"
"Vaguely. Didn't I go to junior prom with him?," Kim answered, uninterestedly, trying to think of an excuse.
"Right! Well, you'll never believe it. He's a doctor now. And Kim, he is so handsome. You could always tell he was going to be a real knockout one day," Katherine gushed.
"Mom, is this your way of telling me you're dating an ex-boyfriend of mine," Kim chuckled.
"Oh, Kim don't be ridiculous! Anyway, we had a lovely conversation, he's so polite-"
"Probably one of the reasons it never worked with us," Kim laughed at her mom's sour look.
"You know, it wouldn't kill you to call him and see how he's doing. He was always such a gentleman."
"Also one of the reasons it never worked out," Kim laughed and dodged a pillow. "Mom, I appreciate the creepy gesture of you trying to find me a date, but I'm not interested."
"Kim, you haven't even given it any thought. Besides, you haven't gone out with anyone in so long. It would hurt to call him for drinks or dinner."
"I do too go out!" Kim defended herself, "I just don't tell you about it," she smirked.
"Probably better that you didn't," Katherine groaned. "Well, I knew you wouldn't do it so I did it for you."
Kim stared blankly at her mom, "Did what for me?"
"Michael is in town visiting his parents and so I asked him to dinner tomorrow night and told him you would be there," she winced, waiting for the tantrum she knew would come.
"You what! Mom, why would you do that? Are you crazy?!" Kim tried to keep her voice down.
"It doesn't have to mean anything, I just thought it would be nice for the two of you to see each other again and if something happened-"
"I cannot believe you're actually saying these words! Mom, I am not going to have dinner with you and Michael tomorrow. I'm not interested in anything 'happening'," Kim bit out.
"Give me one good reason why you won't have dinner. Just dinner, Kim. Nothing else. No strings attached."
"Yeah right, no strings attached. You probably told him I was single and he was the perfect guy for me, right," Kim groused.
"Yes I told him you were unattached because he had heard that you were married. But I didn't say anything about the two of you," Katherine tried to defend herself.
Kim stood and put her coat on, "I really don't believe you sometimes."
"Where are you going? It's midnight!"
"Away from you and your insanity," Kim moved to the door.
"Kim please! I would feel awful if you weren't here when he comes tomorrow. I shouldn't have invited him and I'm sorry, but please, couldn't you just come and have dinner? He's such a nice man. Give me one good reason why he would be so bad? You can't, can you?"
Kim's stomach dropped. She knew she should tell her about Jimmy, but just couldn't bring herself to do it. "No," she whispered out, feeling the shame creep in.
@@@@@@@
Kim quietly opened the door to Jimmy's apartment. She still had the key from when she had been living here. She saw him stretched out on the couch, in front of the t.v. Her stomach lurched in nervousness. He was going to kill her. "Are you still awake?," she whispered.
Jimmy looked at her in surprise and smiled, "I'd just about given up hope on you."
"Oh don't do that," Kim tried to smile, knowing he wouldn't understand the double meaning.
Jimmy grabbed her hand and pulled her down to lay on top of him and kissed her soundly, "I thought I might have to sleep alone tonight," he smiled.
"You might want to after what I have to tell you," she sat up.
Jimmy sat up too and frowned, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"My mom ran in to one of my old boyfriends from high school today," she started slowly.
"Uh oh. Did he say something to get you in trouble," he teased.
Kim tried to laugh, "No. My mom apparently had a long conversation with him and ended up inviting him over for dinner tomorrow might."
Jimmy's face scrunched in disgust, "Oh, please tell me this isn't going where I think it's going."
"She told him I would be there," Kim avoided his eyes.
Jimmy just stared at her blankly, "I don't understand."
Kim looked at him cautiously, "She told him I was single and invited him over to dinner so that we could reconnect."
"You said no, right," Jimmy asked, trying to stay calm.
"I tried to get out of it, but she insisted that I be there tomorrow and I couldn't tell her no," Kim winced.
"So you're going on a date with this guy because you're ashamed to tell you mom about me?," Jimmy asked harshly.
"Jimmy, it's not a date. I told her I wasn't interested-"
"But you didn't tell her about us?" he cut her off in anger.
"Jimmy, please. You know that I'm not interested in anyone else," Kim pleaded.
"But you're too ashamed to tell you mom about us!" he stood up and started pacing.
Kim tried to stop him by putting a hand on his arm, but he shook her off, "Jimmy, I'm not ashamed of you! How can you say that?"
"What am I supposed to think here Kim?! You had the perfect opportunity to tell you mom why you couldn't go out with this loser and instead of telling her about me, you lied and agreed to have dinner with someone that's still interested in you! How do you think that makes me feel?!"
"I know! I should have told her," Kim started to cry. "I'm so sorry."
Jimmy stopped his frantic pacing and sighed in frustration. Making her cry is not what he wanted either. He pulled her in his arms and held her close, "Please, baby, don't cry," he whispered.
"I'm scared, Jimmy," she cried. Kim pulled back to look at him, "I'm scared of telling her, of telling everyone. No one will think it will last."
"Who cares what they think?" Jimmy stepped away to look at her, "Is that what you think?"
Kim wanted to so desperately say no and make him feel better, but in the back of her head, she was worried they were right. "I want us to be together, but there's so much that's uncertain."
"Did you not believe me today when I told you I wasn't going anywhere? Do you think I'm lying to you when I say that?" Jimmy asked in hurt.
"No! I don't think you're lying, but things happen. What makes you so sure that it won't turn out like all the other times?"
Jimmy cupped her face gently, "Because I'm not that stupid anymore. I'm not stupid enough to let you go again. I know I still have to earn your trust, but baby, please believe me when I tell you that I never want to lose you again. I've lived my life with you and I've lived my life without you and I can tell you right now that I need you. I need you next to me. I love you, Kimmy.
Kim managed a small smiled through her tears and flung herself at him. Jimmy held her in his arms and kissed her deeply. His tongue tangle with hers. Her hands sifted through his hair. Jimmy bent slightly and pulled Kim's legs to wrap around his waist. He moved them to the bedroom and leaned over to deposit her on the bed. She refused to let go, making him laugh and fall on top of her. He looked down and brushed the hair away from her face. "I love you Kim, and I promise I'll spend the rest of my life showing you how much
Tears swam in her eyes, "You killing me with these lines," she laughed tearfully.
Jimmy smiled, "That wasn't a line. That was a promise."
Kim pulled him down for a long, lingering kiss, "I need you inside me," she whispered.
Amidst passionate kissing, Jimmy managed to divest them both of their clothing and settled between her thighs, "Imagine. Doing this in a bed. Who would have thought?," he chuckled.
Kim laughed. "This should be a walk in the park compared to some of the places we've done it."
"Ah yes, but they've all been completely enjoyable," he laughed and thrust in to her. Kim moaned and pulled him close, burying her face in his neck.
"I love, you Jimmy. Don't ever think that I don't," she panted and smiled as he captured her mouth for a kiss.
"I love you too, but I don't think I'm gonna last very long," he ground out between clenched teeth.
"Me neither. Oh god... please," Kim begged.
After a few more powerful thrusts, they came together, shouting each others names. Completely spent, Jimmy rolled onto his back and pulled Kim with him. "If you think you're off the hook, you're wrong," he mumbled tiredly.
Kim chuckled and propped herself up to look down at him, "I'm sorry about tonight. I should have said something to her."
Jimmy stroked her hair affectionately, "So if your mom tells you to sleep with him, are you gonna do that too?" he teased.
Kim smacked him on the chest, "Very funny! Keep it up and you'll be flying solo."
"Like you could resist me," she smugly smirked.
Kim sighed, "True. I never have been able to before, what makes me think I could do it now?"
"That's right. My manly powers overwhelm you," he smiled when she giggled.
"Or something," she teased. She rested her chin gently on his chest, "I love you and I want everybody to know that."
Jimmy smiled lightly at her, "I know you love me. And I understand if you're not ready to tell your mom. I'll wait as long as it takes. Just promise me you won't come back from dinner engaged to this guy."
Kim smiled, "I'll try. She gently slid on top of him again, "Besides, there's only one guy I'm interested in.
"Oh yeah? Better looking?" he taunted.
"Much. And the sex is amazing," she smiled and kissed her way across his chest.
"You up for round two?"
"Always."
