Kim tossed and turned trying to find a comfortable position. The past week had been like this and she'd had enough. God knows how she was going to last another two weeks, this baby seriously needed to get out. Some woman loved being pregnant and while Kim didn't hate it and feeling the baby squirming around inside her was pretty special she didn't love it either. She just wanted her baby in her arms, she just wanted Adam to see his baby and be able to hold it. That's why she was doing this, for Adam and for them.

Not only had she had enough of not being able to breathe after walking up the stairs she'd almost had enough of Adam and his constant worrying. He was bad enough when he was home and she'd hoped that him going to work would bring her some relief for 24 hours but he was just as crazy and had roped Oliver into his insanity.

That insanity coupled with her wildly fluctuating emotions made for some tense times at home. Two nights ago Adam had commented that she hadn't eaten enough dinner. "Why? Do you want me to get even fatter?"

"You are not fat, you are pregnant." He replied somewhat flippantly, unfortunately to his detriment.

"Glad you fuckin' noticed. Perhaps you should think about that when you leave your shit all over the bathroom floor. It's a fuckin' hamper with a lid, how about you lift the fuckin' lid and put your shit dirty clothes inside it for a change." She was flailing her arms around and he loved the way her belly was jiggling. He wondered if the baby was enjoying the sudden increase in activity and he probably should have tried harder not to smile.

"Okay."

"And this?" she held up the half empty carton of milk. "What the hell is this?"

"Milk."

"Yes, it's not the milk I like though." She shoved it back in the door of the fridge and hauled herself upstairs. Adam just shrugged at Daisy and Oliver and told them not to say a word. He dropped twenty bucks in the swear jar for Kim's little outburst and let her calm down before he went upstairs and found her crying on the bed.

Poking his head through the door he asked "Is it safe to come in?" from the relative safety of the other side of the room.

"Yes."

Sitting down on the edge of the bed Adam ran his hand over her back. "You owe me a twenty."

"The swear jar?" Kim laughed a little.

"It's just had a top up. Nice rant Darlin'."

"Sorry." She wiggled over so that Adam could lie down with her. He was smiling as he leant into kiss her.

"I think you are beautiful even when you are crazy."

Later that night Kim was liking Adam a whole lot more and he did have to admit that sex with someone so heavily pregnant was pretty damn spectacular. Every day was like riding a rollercoaster and you never quite knew what to expect and he loved it.

A week earlier Kevin had asked him how he was fairing as they had a beer after work. "Well I feel like I am living with about four different women. There is angry Burgess.." he was ticking them off his fingers one by one. "..crying Burgess, just my normal Burgess and then there is horny Burgess. It's a wild ride that's for sure."

Kevin cringed and just laughed. Yep, that sounded all too familiar, he'd been there and done that. On good days Adam could be lucky enough to see all four in a very short space of time. It almost gave him whiplash. Coming into the bedroom one night he frowned when he saw her pulling his favourite t-shirt over her heavily pregnant stomach. "What?" she snapped. And hello angry Burgess.

"Ummm, it's that kinda a little tight. You are stretching it."

"No, your god damn super sperm did that."

"Okay." Deciding that his best option was just to walk back out of the room he turned and headed for the door and Kim burst into tears. Where the hell did crying Burgess come from?

"I'm sorry, I just wanted to be close to you." Okay, he breathed out. Proceed with caution. It was going to go one of two ways, she was either going to keep crying or yell at him and maybe physically rip something from his body and he was a little apprehensive as he put his arms around her.

"Anytime you want to be close to me just tell me." Before he could think she had her hands on his belt and was demanding him now. Never one to knock back a quickie he took over unbuckling his belt, ripped his pants off and let her climb on top, still wearing his favourite although now slightly misshapen t-shirt and he did not care. Yep, the ride was wild and horny Burgess was one of his favourites.

They been out for a walk tonight with Daisy riding along on her bike as Kim was restless and felt like she was in a cage. Adam had held her hand as the strolled along and it seemed to calm her down a little, the fresh air and exercise was working it's magic. He appreciated that she was no longer comfortable and having had the experience recently of wearing an empathy belly for a short while he couldn't say he blamed her. It had certainly opened his eyes to the physical challenges that being pregnant came with and he'd lasted thirty minutes. Kim fortunately was in a happy place that day and laughed at him constantly. The photos that she had kindly shared with their friends hadn't been quite so funny and he turned up to shift to find it pinned up all over the notice board.

Oliver had also teased him until Adam made him wear it too and that lasted all of five minutes. "Not so funny now Bud, is it?"

Adam mumbled something as she levered her way out of bed and waddled towards the bathroom. This was another thing that was seriously pissing her off, her pea-sized bladder. Unfortunately she hadn't quite made it to the toilet when she felt the gush of warm liquid. "Fuck." She grabbed a towel and shoved it between her legs. "Fuck."

She stood at the doorway of the bathroom and with absolute panic in her voice she called out to him. "Adam, wake up."

"What? You okay?" He mumbled barely lifting his head off the pillow. Yesterday's shift was pretty full on and they barely had a chance to hit the sack. Every time he put his head down the bells went off so once he had hit the mattress tonight he was out.

"No, my water just broke." Kim doubled over and groaned loudly as a contraction ripped through her. She had gone from nothing to a hell of a lot in a very short space of time. She tried to breathe as it eased off just as her panicked cries finally made it through his sleep haze.

He flew out of bed. "You sure." The look on her face replaced the need for words. "It's early?"

"No shit Sherlock." Kim gritted her teeth and belted his arm away as he tried to place it on her stomach. "What are you doing?"

"Making sure you're alright?" He still hadn't quite caught onto the seriousness of the situation yet.

"No, I am not fucking alright, I am about to have a baby."

"I'll get the kids." He didn't know whether to stay with Kim or go wake them up.

Kim let out a long slow moan and gripped the edge of the basin, her knuckles were white and she started panting. It was all happening a little too quickly. "You need to call 911." Kim hissed. "Now."

"Why?"

"Because I am about to give birth. Right fucking now."

"I'll get you in the car, we'll take the kids with us." They had planned to leave them with his mother. She was half way between the hospital and their place so it made the most sense should it happen in the middle of the night. They had no time for that now. "Fuck." He muttered as he staggered a little trying to pull on a pair of pants.

"Adam, I can't make it." Placing one hand between her legs she knew precisely what she was feeling and she groaned in agony. "It's too late, I need to push."

"Fuck." That word was getting thrown about a lot right now. Adam hastily pulled on a t-shirt and then crouched down in front of Kim who was still gripping the doorframe. "Are you sure?"

"Yes." She cried squeezing his arm until he winced. "Jesus Fucking Christ Adam…." Kim nodded over his shoulder as she saw Daisy appear. "Daisy."

"What's wrong Mom?" Daisy had appeared in the doorway, wiping her eyes sleepily. The commotion and Kim's agonising cries had woken her up and she had stumbled into their room like usual expecting to climb into bed between them and go back to sleep.

"Mommy is fine sweetie. The baby has just decided to come right now." She said between her panting breaths. Looking up at Adam she wasn't surprised to see the look of shock on his face. She was hoping like hell his training would kick in any minute now and he would snap out of it and help her.

"Are we going to the hospital?"

"No, Adam is going to help Mommy have the baby here." As the contraction eased off a little she grabbed Adam's arm. "Adam, you can do this, you have to do this."

"Kim." She could hear the panic in his voice.

Things were not going to plan and for someone who struggled with anxiety this was way out of his comfort zone. He was already freaking out about the delivery and Kim had Erin on standby in case he couldn't handle it but now had to handle it and deliver this baby, he had no choice. As soon as Kim's water broke she knew they were in trouble. Both times previously she had been in labour for hours but as soon as her water broke the baby was born just minutes later.

"For fuck's sake Adam. Help me." Kim yelled at him as another contraction started and suddenly he switched into gear and grabbed his phone and called 911. He placed it on the bench and put it on speaker and spoke to the dispatcher. He sent Daisy to wake Ollie, although Kim protested momentarily, she wasn't sure her kids needed to witness this but Adam wasn't leaving her and they needed towels and someone to let the Paramedics in and also needed Ollie to take care of Daisy. From his limited knowledge childbirth was hardly pretty, it was hot and loud and about to get a whole lot messy.

Ollie panicked a little until Adam calmed him down. He placed his hand on his cheek and made him look at him. "It's okay Buddy, but I need your help. I need you to help me so we can help your Mom. Can you do that? It's going to be okay, Mom is strong, she's done this before and we are going to have this baby right here. All of us." He sent him to grab them some towels and went downstairs to unlock the door. Daisy stayed with them and her freaking out gave Kim something else to focus on in between the short breaks in contractions.

"Make it stop Adam." Daisy begged him, grabbing his arm in a panic. "Don't hurt my Mommy."

"We can't make it stop sweetheart. Mom has to do this, our baby wants to meet you." They always talked about the baby belonging to all of them. This was their baby too.

Kim squeezed Daisy's hand. "It's okay. I'm okay." She panted. "Adam has to do this."

Adam was now surprisingly calm and he relayed all the relevant information to the Dispatcher. Right now he had to switch off to the fact that this was his baby and the woman he loved and make sure they were both safe. "Yep the head is crowning." As soon as Kim got down on the floor she screamed in agony and tried to stand up again. "I can't, Adam I can't."

"Darlin' you can." Kim got down on all fours and it wasn't ideal. She had delivered both Oliver and Daisy by squatting, sitting or lying down was excruciating and she had felt that when squatting she wasn't fighting gravity. There wasn't enough room in their tiny bathroom or anything for her to hold onto to brace herself. Oliver wouldn't be strong enough to hold her up and Adam needed to be in control of the birth.

Oliver was holding Daisy's hand as they talked to Kim. She was doing her best to reassure them that she was okay. "This baby just wants to meet us right now."

"It's hurting you. Why can't Adam make it not hurt?" Daisy's eyes were wide with a mixture of fear and amazement.

"It will be over soon." Kim panted as another contraction started to come on. "You are so brave."

Kim had barely ten seconds between contractions and two pushes later the head was out. Adam slid his finger down the side of its head just inside of Kim and she moaned. "Sorry Darlin'." Adam apologised but he needed to check the cord was not wrapped around its neck. He cradled the baby's head and listening to the dispatcher he tilted it slightly downwards as Kim pushed and once the shoulder came out his baby slipped out into his hands. "Well hello my little man."

Resting her head on her forearms briefly to catch her breath Kim gasped. "It's a boy?"

"It's a boy Darlin." He was rubbing the baby's back as directed by the dispatcher.

"Is he okay?" she asked just as he let out an almighty gurgling squawk. Oliver helped her move so that so that she was sitting up against the cabinet and Adam handed her the baby. He was shaking and had tears streaming down his face. The dispatcher told them to lay the baby against Kim's skin and try and get him to attach to her breast if they could, it would help with the delivery of the placenta. Adam helped her lift her t-shirt, his favourite old t-shirt that was now Kim's and slipped one arm out so they could put him against her skin and the baby snuggled into her breast and he covered them both with some towels. He leant over and kissed Kim softly. "You're amazing."

"I wanted a sister." Daisy burst into tears. Both Daisy and Oliver were kneeling up next to Kim looking at the baby as he rooted around her breast and Kim hugged her with her free arm.

"You've got a beautiful little brother." Kim wiped Daisy's tears away.

Adam draped a towel over Kim's shaking legs as he asked Oliver to take Daisy with him as they heard the Paramedics call out from downstairs. "Go and show them where we are." He didn't want to leave Kim and the baby just yet.

They heard Daisy telling them excitedly, "Mommy had a baby on the floor." Seemingly forgetting that she was upset it wasn't a sister. "It's a boy. I have a brother."

"Adam, look at him."

"He's beautiful." Adam touched his son's head lightly. He stared at them both in awe.

"He looks like Oliver."

"Yeah?" and unexpected sob escaped from Adam and he buried his head into Kim's shoulder for a moment and felt her kissing his head softly. This few minutes of just the three of them was perfect. God, he loved this woman.

"Looks like we missed all the action?" The paramedics arrived a minute later and took over. Adam was able to cut the cord before Margie took the baby and checked him out and he was very displeased with the poking and prodding judging by his energetic cries before Margie handed him back to his mother. Kim leant against Adam, resting her head on his shoulder and stared at her new baby nuzzling at her breast and felt Adam's tears trickle down her forehead. They were besotted with their tiny new son and in complete shock, thirty minutes ago they were asleep in bed and now they were holding their baby. Kim still needed to at least go to the hospital and get checked out as did the baby, but by the sound of his lungs he was doing just fine.

Adam had just delivered his own son on their bathroom floor, it had taken less than thirty minutes from the time Kim woke him until he had caught his son his hands as he made his very sudden arrival. This beautiful woman had just done an amazing thing and now that he knew they were both okay it hit him like a tonne of bricks. In that bathroom with the three most important people in his life Adam closed the circle on his past. "You did good Dad." Geoff, the older Paramedic clapped him on the shoulder. They knew each other in passing from being on scenes together but only enough to say hello.

Adam promised to be right behind the Ambulance with the kids although Daisy would have preferred to go in the Ambulance with her mother. She cried when they left, like Adam she didn't want to leave her mother or her baby.

"Is Mommy okay?" He sat on the bed and let Daisy climb into his lap so he could cuddle her for a moment.

"She is sweetheart. You were so brave, that is a very special thing we just did. I can't believe we've got a beautiful little baby boy."

"It was a bit yucky."

"What was all that stuff on him?" Oliver asked. He had been pretty quiet. Knowing him it was probably all a bit too much. He had spent a long time worrying and trying to protect his mother so seeing her in so much pain and there was nothing he could do about it upset him. He tucked himself into his Dad's shoulder.

"It wasn't pretty hey, but that stuff was just protecting him in Mommy's belly. He'll be all cleaned up soon, by the time we see him he'll be all good." Adam was surprised that they kids seemed to be coping so well. It was a hell of a way to wake up.

Adam had to laugh when Daisy asked. "Next time can it be a girl?" One thing he did know, there was not going to be a next time. Kim had told him that on numerous occasions and quite honestly he was fine with that. He never expected this so he was happy with what they had, things felt pretty complete now. He got them dressed and grabbed Kim's bag, which had already been packed in anticipation and they headed into the hospital. He did contemplate dropping them off at his mother's but decided that he wanted them both with him and knew that Kim would be disappointed if she didn't see them. He also wanted to stay in this little bubble for a little while longer. As soon as people knew they'd had the baby it would be like Grand Central Station.

An hour later he was sitting in the recliner in the hospital room, his tiny newborn son safely cocooned in his arms. Daisy and Oliver were asleep on the roll away bed that they had rustled up and Kim dozed off next to him. He was barely two hours old and the hold he had on Adam's heart was staggering. When he finally dragged his eyes away from him he noticed Kim was watching them and was surprised when she wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand.

In an instant he was standing beside her, his son in one arm and stroking Kim's forehead with the other. "Why the tears? I hope they are happy tears?"

"You know I had a dream like this once, when Oliver was born I dreamt that I woke up and you were here holding him. This is not a dream is it?"

"It's not a dream." Adam shook his head. "He's perfect Kim, so perfect."

"You were amazing."

Leaning down to kiss her forehead he whispered. "You did all the hard work, I just caught him. Do you want him back?"

"No, I want you to come and sit up here." She patted the bed next to her and moved over gingerly. "And we can cuddle him together."

"I love you so much, I didn't think I could love you anymore but I can and I do." They sat together on the bed and Kim stroked the little boy's cheek as he slept in his father's arms. If it was a dream come true for Adam, for Kim it was just as emotional. Watching him cradle him so gently was better than she imagined, better than that long forgotten dream and she fell asleep with her head on his shoulder. Adam couldn't sleep just yet; he was too wired. This had been one of the most amazing nights of his life.

When he woke again for a feed Adam was happy to sit up with Kim and watch them together. Oliver and Daisy stirred a little but quickly fell back asleep. "Are you still sure about his name?" She asked as he stared at his son who still seemed to be trying to come to terms with his new surroundings.

"I am. Lola loved her husband so much; he was the only man she ever loved. He adored her and all she wanted to do was be with him. She waited for him when he went away to Korea. It feels like us a little bit, you know that love can last a lifetime even when you might not be together, even though you feel like you'll be apart forever. Do you think it suits him?"

"I do."

Daisy was coming around to the fact that it was a boy and now that he was looking a little cleaner she was happy to hold him. Oliver did seem to like him and held him a few times despite trying to look non-plussed most of the time.

The plan was for them all to go home later today. There was no physical reason for Kim to stay and it was not like it was her first baby. "Can we not tell people about him just yet?"

"I thought you'd be screaming from the rooftops?"

And in all honesty so did he. It had almost killed him keeping Kim's pregnancy a secret until they hit the 12week mark so that fact that he wanted to keep this a secret was very sweet. "It's strange hey?." He was watching Oliver and Daisy perch themselves next to his cot and stare at their brother, gently touching his hand. "I don't know, I think I just want us to spend a bit of time getting to know him and love him."

Kim agreed it would be nice. Once the news was out it would be impossible to stop the tidal wave of visitors.

Adam was completely clueless about dealing with a baby but he was eager to learn. Well until he got sight of his first 'poo' and that just freaked him out.

"Why the fuck is it black? It's like tar." He watched Kim peel off his diaper. "It's stuck to his nuts."

"Adam, shut up." Kim warned him. Daisy had ears like a bat lately. She picked up everything and would have no qualms in repeating it to anyone who would listen. Adam still hadn't recovered from having to explain to Daisy and Grace how he managed to get his 'sperm' inside Kim to make the baby grow. It would have been fine until Halstead actually reminded Daisy about her question and they all did their best not to laugh as he tried to explain it with as few a words as humanly possible. The worst part was that Daisy apparently chose to share it with her classmates for 'news' the next day. Adam was mortified when he picked her up from school and refused to go back and pick her up for a week.

"What is it?"

"It's perfectly normal, it's meconium." Adam actually gagged and Kim looked at him and shook her head. "Jesus. I thought you used to be some big tough cop and I know you have seen some horrible stuff on Truck."

"Yes, but that is other people's stuff and I don't know them. This is coming out of my son."

"Can't wait until he spews breast milk all over you or pees in your face."

"Harsh Burgess, harsh."

Kim swaddled him and handed him back to Adam. She loved watching him holding his son already. "One day." She whispered and he knew what she meant.

"Yeah?" He was finding it hard to drag his eyes away from him but Kim's comment made him look at her. He leant in a gave her a soft kiss. "I love you, you know."

A/N: Ahhh…a Burzek Baby Boy, wonder what he's called? Was that mean not telling you?
