The ambulance ride was the longest seven minutes of Kim and Adam's entire life. Kim was curled in a ball on the stretcher, crying. One hand was on her stomach, the other gripping onto Adam's arm for dear life. This was all her fault. Why didn't she wait the extra three minutes for back up?

Adam choked back his own tears, focused on being strong for Kim. Why couldn't he have gotten to the motel sooner? He could have saved her. He could have saved the baby. He placed his free hand on her stomach, right under her hand. Would he ever get to feel her growing bump? Feel his baby kick for the first time?

Everything felt like a blur when they got to Chicago Med. Doctors and nurses were rushing Kim into a trauma room, hooking up an IV to her hand, checking her heart rate, oxygen levels, and blood pressure. An Obstetrician rushed in the room, with a nurse on her heels, pulling a large machine.

"I'm Dr. Tara Bailey. We're going to check on the baby. You're how far along?" The OB's words were rushed as she pushed Kim's shirt up and squirted gel on her stomach.

Kim reached for Adam's hand. She knew what would happen when she got an ultrasound. They were going to give her the worst possible news. They were going to tell her that she killed her baby.

"She's twelve weeks." Adam replied, grabbing Kim's hand. "Twelve weeks and four days. Right?"

"Yeah." Kim sniffled. She turned her head away from the screen and squeezed her eyes shut as the ultrasound probe was pressed to her stomach. Dr. Bailey moved the probe to the right, then to the left.

Bump-bump-bump-bump.

The OB's nurse let out a soft gasp. Kim's eyes popped open, and she whipped her head around to look at the screen. Adam's grip tightened against her hand. Everything suddenly felt like a dream and the doctor seemed to be speaking in slow motion.

"Your baby has a steady heartbeat and looks healthy." She continued to run the probe over her stomach, double and triple checking the heartbeat and the baby's movements. She shook her head like she was unable to process what she was seeing in front of her. "Perfectly healthy. The baby is safe and sound in there."

Kim looked up at Adam, his face filled with surprise and relief. He looked down at her and broke into a smile. That smile made everything feel real to her, and she burst into tears. She couldn't believe what was happening. A few minutes ago she was grieving over her baby. Now she could rejoice. Tidal waves of different emotions were crashing into her all at once.

Adam immediately bent down to embrace her, kissing her on the top of her head over and over.

"You're okay," he whispered as he rubbed her back. "The baby is okay. You're both safe."

Kim cried into the side of his neck. "I'm so sorry." She finally managed to say.

"What?" Adam pulled back and locked eyes with her.

"I should have waited for backup. I almost killed-"

"Hey, don't do that." Adam grabbed her shaking hands to steady them. "All that matters is that you and the baby are healthy."

Kim wanted to argue, but she didn't have the energy. Plus, Adam was right. As long as her baby is healthy, she was happy.

"Okay." She nodded, but she couldn't stop crying. Adam hugged her again, trying to hold her steady from the sobs shaking her body.

A few minutes later she let out a ragged breath and sniffled, all out of tears and starting to feel better. Adam leaned back, but kept his hands on her arms, like somehow she would fall apart if he let go. "Okay?" He asked, his eyes on hers.

Kim took a deep breath and nodded. She suddenly realized that they were in an empty room. "Where did the doctor go?"

Adam looked around, then grabbed a note from Kim's bedside table.

"She said she'll be back. Wanted to give us some time alone."

Dr. Bailey and her nurse came back thirty minutes later to do another ultrasound and draw some blood.

Kim felt like a kid on Christmas morning when she saw her baby move on the ultrasound screen.

"Wow." Adam breathed as they listened to the heart beat again.

Kim couldn't help but smile as she watched his face light up at the sight of the baby. She held her hand out and felt him slip his fingers into hers. She almost felt overwhelmed at how lucky she was that her baby was her okay.

"Again, everything looks perfect. Baby is healthy as can be." Dr. Bailey smiled at the parents-to-be.

"When can I go home?" Kim asked.

"As long as everything looks normal from your blood draw, tomorrow morning. I'll be back in an hour with your results and we can chat about your pregnancy going forward."

Kim held the ultrasound photos the doctor had printed out for her. She still couldn't believe what she was looking at.

"Everyone's waiting for an update." Adam held up his phone, showing Kim a text from Jay.

Kim realized their team had been worried about them, sitting in the waiting area for quite a while now. She wanted to share the good news. "Tell them to come in here."

Voight, Hailey, Jay, Kevin, and Vanessa quietly filed into Kim's hospital room. Hailey looked like she had been crying, a red rim around her bloodshot eyes. Jay's arm was wrapped protectively around her shoulder.

Kim smiled at the team, grateful to be sharing the good news with the people that were like family to her. She held up the ultrasound photos. "The baby is perfect. Healthy as can be."

Everyone's faces filled with shock, but their surprise quickly turned into happiness. Hugs were exchanged all around. They took turns looking at the ultrasound photos and talked amongst themselves for a few minutes until Voight suggested they give Kim and Adam some space.

"Let's go on a coffee and dinner run. Adam, Kim, text Kevin what you want."

"Thanks, Sarge." Adam nodded, grateful to have so much support.

"I'll catch up in a minute." Hailey said, taking a seat on the end of Kim's bed.

"Want me to wait with you?" Jay asked.

Hailey nodded. "Thanks."

"Are you okay?" Kim placed the ultrasound photos on the table next to her and turned her attention to Hailey.

"I'm fine, I'm just happy you're okay. When I ran into that bathroom and saw you..." Hailey shook her head, looking down when her eyes started to water. "I thought-"

"I know." Kim stopped her, reaching for her hand.

"I just wanted to say to you and Adam that I'm so, so sorry I wasn't there sooner." Hailey took turns looking at both of them, guilt etched deep into her expression.

"You don't have to apologize." Kim felt bad that Hailey was partially blaming herself for what happened and what could have happened. "You got there as fast as you could and I should have waited for backup."

"No." Hailey disagreed. "You saved Emma's life."

"No one lost a life today," Jay chimed in, stepping forward and placing a hand on Hailey's back. "That's what matters."

Kim raised her eyebrow at Hailey, who dodged the silent question and looked off to the side.

"You both did your job to the best of your abilities like always." Adam added, his eye drifting down to Jay's hand on Hailey. He shot a glance at Jay, who shook his head, indicating he would talk to him later.

"If you need anything tonight call us." Hailey offered.

"Us?" Kim mouthed to her.

"Excuse me?" Dr. Bailey knocked on the door softly. All four of them turned their attention to the doctor. "I don't mean to interrupt but I have your lab results."

"We'll see you guys in a little while with dinner." Hailey gave Kim a hug before getting up to leave.

"I think I just want to have dinner with Adam tonight. I'm pretty tired. Will you tell everyone for me?" Kim asked. She wasn't in the mood for extra company tonight, although she was grateful for the offer.

"Of course. Goodnight, guys." Hailey and Jay said goodbye and made their way out of the room together.

"So your lab results." Dr. Bailey continued, tapping on the screen of an iPad. "Everything looks great, but your vitamin D is a little low. That has nothing to do with what happened earlier, but I'm going to call in a D3 supplement to your pharmacy."

Kim looked up at Adam and smiled. He grabbed her hand and gently squeezed.

"Just as a precaution, you'll be on bed rest for the next two weeks," Dr. Bailey continued. "You can return to work after, but you need to be on light duty until you go on maternity leave or go into labor, whichever happens first."

Kim nodded. Earlier that day she was considering not going on light duty until she was around the halfway point in her pregnancy, but now she was more than happy to oblige to the doctors' orders. She was going to do anything to protect her baby.

"While you're on bed rest you should truly be resting. Avoid things like deep cleaning, heavy lifting, working out, and any type of sexual activity."

Kim felt her cheeks flush and kept her face turned away from Adam. She wasn't sure why she felt weird. She'd been with Adam plenty of times and was more than comfortable with him, but at the same time they hadn't slept together since she found out she was pregnant. They hadn't even talked about what they were going to do in regards to their relationship.

"Last thing before I leave you two alone," Dr. Bailey interrupted her thoughts. "We know the sex of the baby from the blood draw. Would you like to know? I have the results in this envelope." Dr. Bailey held a small white envelope in front of her.

"Yes." Adam said at the same time as Kim said "No."

They both looked at each other, eyebrows raised.

"I'll leave this here and let you two discuss." Dr. Bailey placed the envelope by the sink and left the room, shutting the door behind her.

"You don't want to find out?" Adam sounded slightly disappointed.

"I think it would be fun to wait until the baby is born." Kim shrugged.

"How are we going to do the nursery?" Adam challenged her, trying to find a way out of this.

Kim was prepared. "The baby will be next to me in a bassinet for months. We can do the nursery after they're born."

"What about clothes? How will we know what to buy?"

"We can buy a few newborn outfits and go on a big shopping trip after the baby is born. They don't care what they wear, you know."

"How will we decide on a name?" Adam was running out of excuses.

"We'll pick a few for a boy and a few for a girl. Then we decide after the baby is born." A playful smile tugged at her lips. "What else ya got?"

"I don't have the patience to wait that long," Adam groaned.

"I'm sure you'll find a way."

A nurse came in to check if Kim needed anything. She requested water and for the envelope to be taken out of the room and thrown away.

"Fine." Adam surrendered, holding his hands up. "You win. After everything you've been through it's only fair that you decide this."

"It will be worth the wait." Kim reassured him, resting her hand on her stomach. She didn't care whether she had a boy or a girl, and she knew Adam didn't either. They would be happy either way and love the baby unconditionally. Plus, keeping the sex a surprise would make labor a little less daunting and give them one more surprise to look forward to.

Adam reluctantly left Kim for a few minutes to get their dinner at the hospital cafeteria. He didn't want to leave her side. He felt like he needed to be there for her every second to protect her and the baby. But during the elevator ride downstairs, he realized a minute alone was much needed. He stopped to sit in the dining area and collect his thoughts. Today had been a whirlwind of emotions and he hadn't had time to process them. He closed his eyes and rested his head back against the booth. He was instantly met with flashbacks of Kim crying in the motel bathtub for him. The look on her face and the pain in her voice had broken his heart. He shook his head to make those thoughts go away. Thankfully Kim would be stuck at a desk when she went back to work, so no danger would come her way. She could focus on staying healthy and well rested for the remainder of her pregnancy.

Kim and Adam decided to watch a movie after dinner. It was getting late and there wasn't much else to do anyways.

"What do you want to watch?" Adam asked as he scrolled through the limited options on the television screen.

"Grown ups!" Kim stopped him as the movie flashed across the screen.

"Seriously?" Adam chuckled.

"I love this movie and I want to watch something happy." Kim insisted.

Adam pressed play, dimmed the lights and sat down in the chair next to Kim's bed.

"You can sit up here with me." Kim offered, a shyness in her voice, her eyes fixed on the screen.

Adam hesitated, but then agreed. What did he have to lose? He slid into the space next to Kim and instinctively put his arm around her. She rested her head on his chest and draped her arm across his stomach. They stayed just like that for the rest of the movie.

"I should go home so you can get some sleep." Adam whispered as the end credits rolled across the screen.

As much as Kim wanted him to stay the night with her at the hospital, she knew they both needed rest. She couldn't ask him to sleep in a stiff hospital chair all night, and asking him to sleep in the bed with her might be a little too much.

"Promise you'll be back in the morning?" Kim whispered back.

"I promise." Adam lightly kissed the top of her head.

She lifted herself off of his chest and turned to look at him, their faces only a few inches apart.

Before he could talk himself out of it, Adam gave into the urge to kiss her. The soft, gentle kiss was immediately returned by Kim. They pulled back, gazing at each other for a moment. Kim smiled first, causing Adam to smile back, and lean in for another kiss. It just felt right.

Adam was back at the hospital bright and early the next morning to help Kim get home. She was avoiding his glance while she listened to the nurse go over her bed rest instructions.

"Hey." Adam nodded at her, finally getting some eye contact after the nurse left. He didn't like where this was going.

"Hi." She smiled weakly at him.

"Kim-"

"Look, I don't want to talk about it." She interrupted Adam, not wanting to give him the chance to bring up their kiss last night. "I was emotional, we were emotional. I just want to focus on the baby."

Adam held back a frustrated sigh. "I understand." But he didn't. Sure, emotions were running high, but that didn't mean the kiss wasn't deeper than that. It was deeper than that for him, at least.

Adam pushed Kim out to the front of the hospital in a wheelchair where his car was waiting outside. He helped her into the passenger seat, letting her take all the time she needed. She was even more sore today from the beating she took at the motel. He caught a glimpse of the excessive bruises on her stomach during the ultrasound yesterday. They would be even darker and more painful for the next few days.

"So I guess you can just move in when I'm off of bed rest so I can help you." Kim suggested after a few minutes of awkward silence.

"The team is already waiting at your - our -place with the moving truck. We loaded everything this morning."

"Really?" Kim smiled, starting to feel less awkward.

"Of course. I don't want you to be alone right now. And you're not lifting anything heavier than five pounds for the rest of your pregnancy."

"Come on, Adam." Kim rolled her eyes.

"You think I'm kidding?" Adam chuckled. "Watch."

Kim laughed, but she knew he wasn't kidding at all.

"Took you long enough to get here!" Kevin waved at them from the Uhaul. "You thought we'd have all of the moving done for you by now, huh?"

"I was hoping." Adam joked, opening the passenger door for Kim. She put his arm around his shoulders as he helped lift her out of the car. "I'm going to help Kim inside and I'll be right out."

Jay opened the back of the truck for Voight, Kevin, Hailey, and Vanessa, who were all ready to help.

Kim's love seat was replaced with a new sectional couch Adam bought. They brought that in first so Kim would have somewhere comfortable to lay down without being isolated in her bedroom.

"Do not move." Adam instructed, a serious look on his face. "I mean it. If you need something, ask anyone here."

"Okay." Kim couldn't help but smile. "Thank you."

"Anything for you, Kim." Adam's look faded into something softer.

Kim glanced down, suddenly feeling awkward again, and cleared her throat. "Can I have a blanket?" The front door was propped open since people were coming in and out with boxes, and it was getting cold fast.

Adam peeled his eyes away from her to go into her bedroom. He paused for a second to look around. He hadn't been in her room in a few months. Everything still looked the same. Light grey walls, a queen sized bed with a white comforter and a mountain of pillows. A collage of picture frames with photos of friends, family, and their team. A small vanity across from the bed filled with perfume, lotion, makeup and - something that caught his eye. Semi-hidden behind a perfume bottle was a wallet size photo of Kim and Adam. They had taken it years ago, the night after they had gotten engaged. They were in Kim's bed, leaning back against the pillows. Adam was shirtless and so was Kim, but she had her chest covered with a blanket. They were both smiling wide. They looked like they were glowing, they had been so happy. That night felt like a lifetime ago.

"Here you go." Adam draped a soft blanket across Kim. "Better?"

"Perfect. Thanks." She smiled up at him, then went back to the book she was reading. What To Expect When You're Expecting. Adam figured that book didn't account for the events that happened at the motel last night, or what to do if you're not even dating the person you're having a baby with.

"This bed frame isn't going to move itself!" Jay called out.

"Sorry, I'm here." Adam quickly joined the team at the Uhaul truck. "Thank you for doing this."

"Of course, man." Jay nodded at him.

"Anything to help out Kim and the baby." Hailey added, standing especially close to Jay.

Kim and Adam ordered take out for dinner that evening and ate on the couch while watching something on the history channel. Adam wasn't paying attention. He was more interested in watching Kim watch the show. Not in a creepy way, he just liked to see her relaxed. She had just gotten out of the bath and she looked extra beautiful tonight. He wanted to tell her, but he also wanted to respect her wishes. She just wanted to focus on the baby right now. Maybe they would talk about the kiss or their feelings sometime in the future. Hopefully the near future. But for the next few months, Adam vowed to be there for her as a friend. A friend who was also the father of her baby. This might be complicated.

Kim could feel Adam's eyes on her as she tried to focus on the tv in front of her. She felt bad that she shut him down this morning and refused to talk about this kiss. It wasn't that she didn't enjoy it or want to do it again, but she wanted to make sure she was in the right place for a relationship again. She was bringing a baby into the world in six months. She didn't want her child to see their parents have an on and off relationship. They were either going to be completely on, or completely off. She just needed some time to figure things out. Kim told herself to see how she felt in a few months. Then they could have a discussion about their relationship status, whatever that may be. For now they were just going to be friends. Friends who were having a baby together. That wouldn't get complicated at all.
