Kim woke up early and smiled at sleeping Jimmy. She had slept with her head on his shoulder and her arms wrapped possessively across his chest all night. His left arm was around her shoulders, hugging her to his chest. She carefully lifted his arm and crept out of bed quietly.
She grabbed a cup of coffee and a shower and went to wake Joey up and get him ready for school. She had to pull a double today.
"Where's daddy?" Joey asked as he ate his cereal.
"He's still sleeping honey, so we have to be extra quiet so we don't wake him up okay?"
"But I want to say goodbye" he whined.
"I know punkin but daddy got home late last night so he's really tired, let's let him sleep in"
"Okay" he agreed but still pouted.
"Look Joey, today is Friday so daddy just has to work tonight then we'll both be with you all weekend, we'll do whatever you want"
"Anything?" Joey asked cautiously.
"Whatever you want" Kim smiled.
"Can we move the rest of our stuff here so we only live here with daddy from now on?" he asked.
"I like that idea" Jimmy said coming out of the bedroom. He ruffled Joey's hair "Hey champ" he greeted his son.
"Hey dad, so can we? Mom said whatever I want dad" he pushed.
Jimmy leaned over and kissed Kim "Good morning" he smiled. She looked to him for help.
"It's up to your mom Joey" he said and turned his back to her, grabbing a cup of coffee. He was purposely trying to avoid the death glare she was most likely giving him at that moment.
"We'll see, now tell your dad goodbye, we've gotta get going" he went to his room to grab his backpack.
"You're working this morning?" he asked, noticing she was dressed in her uniform.
"Yeah, I've got a double today" she groaned.
"That's rough" he sympathized.
"Well ya know, I wanted the weekend off, to move apparently," she said glaring at him.
"Bye dad" Joey said hugging him.
"See you guys later" he smiled at his family.
He got to work later that day, he found Carlos & Doc hanging out at the firehouse "Hey guys, you seen Kim today?"
"Hey Jimmy, yeah we saw her earlier, ran a call together, she's out on another call now"
"Oh, well if you see her again before I do, tell me I'm looking for her okay?"
"Will do" Doc said. Carlos just smiled stupidly "You guys are so sweet, it really makes me want to find someone of my own"
"Really? You?" Doc questioned.
"Nah, actually you guys make me want to blow chunks, I hope I never get like this"
"I wouldn't worry about that Carlos" Doc teased.
It was a busy day for Kim; she was running calls all day and didn't get back to the house until later that evening.
Kim was making dinner when the guys got back from their call, Jimmy walked over to her and hugged her from behind kissing her cheek. "Hey" he greeted her happily, nuzzling his face into her soft hair. "I missed you this morning," he whispered in her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.
"Jimmy" she warned and pulled away from him, shyly looking back at the rest of the group.
Jimmy watched her with an amused expression, "You do know they know we're back together right?" he said pulling her backwards into his arms.
"Its not about them knowing, its about us being at work" she said seriously.
"Come on Kimmy, I haven't seen you all day, cant I get a little kiss?" he pouted.
"Yeah right, I know your little kisses Jimmy, they always turn into big kisses"
He frowned, God he knew how to work her. She relented and leaned over to give him a quick kiss.
He immediately pulled her close and deepened the kiss.
"Yeah Doherty, Get some!" DK cheered as some of the others whistled at them.
She turned three shades of red and pushed him away playfully.
"Happy now?" she asked.
"Extremely" he answered, showing his dimples.
Carlos high fived him as he took a seat at the table. Kim just rolled her eyes and sighed "We've got to get some women around here"
"Hey, I'm all for that" Carlos agreed.
They had dinner and talked and had a good time. Then the bell rung and they all hurried off in different directions gathering their stuff and heading out.
Kim smiled as she was passing Jimmy on the way out "Hey" he said, stopping her by grabbing her by the arm "I love you" he said. "I Love you too, be careful" she smiled and gave his arm a little squeeze.
