Kim meanwhile was curled up next to Bobby, both sweaty, and out of breath.

"Wow, Bobby," Kim said, still breathless. She went quiet until her pulse calmed, a little. "That was, amazing, but I think I need to take a break."

He kissed her sloppily on the lips. "Come on Kim, aren't you up for one more round?"

"I think I am, but I'm not sure my bladder can handle another round," she told him, getting up.

His bathrobe was sitting on a chair in the corner, she grabbed it and put it on.

"You know, Kim we're the only ones here," he reminded her.

"It's a habit. Besides it's more fun when there's some clothing for you to take off for me." She smiled at him mischievously.

She disappeared into the other room, on the way to the bathroom she realized that her cell phone was flashing indicating she had messages. She went over and picked it up, she had twenty two missed calls on it, all from Jimmy.

For the time being she forgot about having to go the bathroom, she needed to know what was wrong with Joey. She didn't even bother to check her messages because she probably had quiet a few that were nothing, and it would be quicker to just call Jimmy. She picked up the phone, and dialed it, and it began to ring.

"Hello?" said Jimmy.

"What's wrong?" Kim asked him.

"Joey got sick, he's calmed down now," Jimmy assured him.

"Does he want to come home?"

"Yeah, I think, it might be best for him to just stay the night at your place."

"All right, I'll be over as soon as I can." She muttered. "It may take me a while to get a cab."

"Why not see if Bobby's up?" Jimmy suggested. "He'll probably get to your place faster then a cab."

"That might be quicker," Kim said. "Thanks for the suggestion Jimmy."

"Where were you, anyway?"

"Working out," Kim lied.

"Oh, you joined a gym?"

"Yeah, well, I got a pass I figured I'd try it. Not sure if I'm going to join though. Just tell Joey I'm on my way please," she said before hanging up the phone.

She went into Bobby's room. He got up, wrapping his arms around her waist. He kissed her lightly on the lips, then began to trail his kisses downward, and started to peal off the bathrobe. For a quick moment Kim was lost in the moment, and had forgotten everything else.

"Sorry, Bobby, there's not going to be another round tonight," she told him.

"Kim?" he asked unsure.

She leaned down and kissed him lightly. "It's nothing like that. If I could stay I would."

"But?"

"Joey's sick and Jimmy thinks it's better if he comes home tonight."

"Oh."

"Yeah. Would you mind driving me over to Jimmy's to pick him up?"

"Won't he suspect something?"

"No, he's the one who suggested that I get a hold of you." She smiled at him.

"You just conveniently forgot to mention that I was in the other room?"

She shook her head. "Now why would I go and do a thing like that?"

He shrugged. "I like the way you think."

"You were babbling about all the things you liked about me, a few minutes ago, but I don't think you mentioned that."

He kissed her lightly on the lips. "Sorry about that, then, I do like the way you think too. Among other things, and talents that you have."

She smiled at him, then kissed him lightly for a long a moment.

"All right, enough stalling, let's go see my son."

The two of them left the apartment, a little put off that their first night together had been interrupted. Bobby knew that Joey came first though, and he was fine with that. Before long Bobby had pulled up to the curb at Jimmy's.

"You want me to go up with you?" he asked.

"No, I should be fine by myself," she assured him.

"All right."

She kissed him on the cheek. "I'll be right back."

As she went to buzz up to Jimmy's apartment someone else walked out and held the door open for her. She went inside, and to his apartment and knocked on the door. She didn't hear any answer, so she walked right inside.

As soon as she walked in she could smell the vomit, and knew that Jimmy had given Joey something he shouldn't have. She looked at the couch, and was a little grossed out by the fact Jimmy had not cleaned up.

Jimmy emerged from the bathroom.

"It stains if you leave it on there," she told him.

"I don't quiet have the stomach to clean it," he told her.

"Don't look at me, Jimmy. You have to learn to deal with this stuff. Where is he?"

"Mommy?" she heard a voice say from the bedroom.

Kim went into Jimmy's room to find him not under the covers, with the hot water bottle on his stomach, and the bucket next to him.

"What happened?" Kim asked Joey.

"Daddy made me eat all kinds of stuff, and it made me sick," Joey explained pathetically.

"You don't have to say yes when tells you can have something you don't know if you like, honey."

Joey shrugged. "I guess."

"Jimmy have you given him any Pepto-Bismol for his stomach?" Kim asked.

"No, I don't have any," Jimmy replied.

"Do have anything for stomach aches?"

"I have Gravol?"

"That's not helpful, Jimmy. Never mind, I'll just get some at the drugstore on the corner."

Joey was already out of the bed, and ready to go with his mother. She went to open the door to the small apartment.

"Kimmy, I'm sorry," Jimmy said.

"Don't apologize to me, my night wasn't totally ruined."

Jimmy kneeled down to Joey's level. "I'm sorry Champ, I should have known those things would get you sick You have one fussy stomach."

"Yeah," said Joey.

"Joey, give your father a hug, and go downstairs, Bobby's waiting in his car, I need to talk to you father."

Joey gave Jimmy a hug, then left the apartment, to go find Bobby's SUV. In the apartment Jimmy looked up at his ex wife, wondering what she was going to do to him.

"This is that last time I'm cleaning up your mess, Jimmy," she told him.

"What?" he asked.

"I'm sick of feeling like I can trust you with him, and you turn around and do something you know is going to make him sick!"

"I'm sorry, all right?"

"Don't be sorry, stop doing it! You know that boy likes to act big and tough around you, but he's not. He's still a little boy, he's six years old Jimmy! He can't handle everything that you can, but he wants you to think that he can!"

"I didn't think, Kimmy."

"Start thinking then Jimmy!"

"I thought I didn't ruin your evening?"

"I would have liked on night by myself, just to relax. I was going to go home and have a nice long bubble bath, and relax. I just wanted one night alone, but I can't do that now, cause I have to take care of Joey."

Jimmy smiled, pathetically. "You know I can't stomach that stuff."

"You have to learn, Jimmy! And you have to clean up your couch before it seeps in and you have to buy a new one.."

"Can't you-?"

"No!" she snapped. "I have to look after our son."

Without even saying goodbye to him, she left the apartment. Leaving Jimmy a little stunned. She had never stormed out on him like that before. He knew that he would have get the mess cleaned up, and that he would also have to start trying harder with Joey.

He knew it wasn't fair that he always called Kim to pick up the pieces when he screwed something up. He wanted to do everything with Joey better, he just wasn't entirely sure how.

Meanwhile Kim had gotten to Bobby's SUV, and found a note on the passenger's side seat, explaining they'd be back in a moment, they just popped into the drugstore down the street.

She decided they wouldn't be too long, so she got into the vehicle, sat down, and waited for the two of them to return. It didn't take them long at all. Bobby had a small bag in his hand, holding Joey's hand as they walked down the sidewalk.

"See I told 'ya she'd be back before us," Joey said, opening the back door.

Bobby smiled at the child. "All right, you were right." He looked at Kim. "I got some Pepto, and one of those easy measure no spill spoons, so he could take it before we started off."

Kim smiled at him. "Thank you." She went to go around to get the medicine.

"No, I'll give it to him, Kim."

She nodded, Bobby always thought of everything where Joey was concerned. Bobby put the bag down, and took out the medicine and the spoon. He ripped the packaging away, then measured out the kid's dose of the medicine, which Joey was happy to take.

He helped Joey to put his seatbelt on, and then he got into the driver's seat. The two adult snapped their seatbelts on, and they were on their way to Kim's. It was quick, quiet car ride. He pulled up to her building.

"Thank you for everything Bobby, do you want to come up for some coffee?" she asked him.

"No, I think I just want to get home, and get some sleep," he told her.

"All right."

"Call me if you're not up to going in tomorrow, I don't want to be surprised if you're not warming the seat next to me."

"I will." She leaned over and hugged him.

She then got out of the car, and then went around to the other side, carefully, to get Joey out. He had fallen asleep, she carefully unbuckled his seat belt. He moved a little. She then picked him up. So that his head was resting on her shoulder, and his legs were around her waist.

"Good night," Bobby said, through his open window, as she was walking away.

"Good night," she replied.

"Sweet dreams."

She smiled at him. "You too."

He watched as she carefully balanced him, as she unlocked the door to her apartment complex. She had done it a few times, and didn't struggle too much. Bobby pulled away as soon as he saw them both go safely inside.

Kim went to her apartment, and right to Joey's room, and placed him on his bed. His eyes popped open, as soon as he was on the bed.

"You're such a faker," she told him.

"I'm sick," he reminded her.

"All right, how about you get your jammies on, and I'll get a book for us to read tonight."

"Okay!" he said.

She went to the bookcase as the child got into his fire truck pajamas. He then crawled into bed, and Kim came back a few minutes later with his favourite Batman book.

"Are you and Bobby gonna get married?" Joey asked as she walked toward the bed.

"What?" she asked, almost dropping the book. "Why would you think we'd be getting married."

"Cause Bobby's always around and stuff. And he said he loves you."

Kim couldn't help but smile. "Is that what he told you?"

"Yup, he said that you were there when you called, and that you two are friends. But everyone knows that a boy and a girl can't be friends."

Kim laughed. "Really?"

"Yup. So are you gonna marry him?"

"Sweetie, we're just spending more time together. If I do get married to anyone, it won't be for a long time."

"So does that mean that Bobby is your boyfriend now?"

She smiled. "Kinda, but you can't tell your father."

Joey nodded. "Okay."

"Now, I'm only reading you one story, it's really late."

"Okay."

She tucked him into the bed. She then started to read him the story, as she sat on the bed next to him. Turning the book around to show him the pictures, not that she needed to she was fairly certain he could probably repeat the book line for line.

She didn't get past the third page before he fell asleep. She kissed him on the forehead lightly, he didn't even move. She then left the room, closing the door, and shutting off the light before leaving.

She then went into her bedroom. She picked up the phone, and dialed Bobby's number. It rang a few times before he picked up.

"Hello?" he said.

"Were you sleeping?" she asked.

"No, I just got out of the shower."

"All right."

"Why did you call?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I love you."

She could almost hear him smiling over the phone. "I love you too. But isn't it a little impersonal to say that over the phone?"

"I just needed you to know tonight."

"All right."

"Anyway, I need some sleep, good night again, Bobby."

"Good night, sweet dreams."

"They'll be sweet all right, they'll be all about you. See you tomorrow."

"Yeah, tomorrow."

She hung up the phone, changed into a night gown, and crawled into bed. It didn't take her long to fall asleep. Sure enough her dreams were filled with thoughts of Bobby.

Joey's stomach had settled and he actually slept through the entire night.
