A/N: Hi guys, thanks for bearing with me on this story. This story is burzek as end game but fair warning there will be some detours. I have updated the rating on this story just in case. Please review and let me know what you think.
He sees Hailey's Jeep outside his place as he pulls up. Hailey gets out when she sees Adam pull up. He smiles when he sees her, she brought beer and a pizza. He didn't even think of grabbing anything, he had spent so much time at Kim's place he didn't remember what was in his fridge.
"Hey smart thinking, I don't even know what I have in my fridge. "
"I figured. " laughs Hailey.
They walked into Adams place. It was the one he had hinted at one day living with her in, Hailey smiles at the thought.
They dump everything on the island, as Adam opens his fridge to see what he has in there. Shockingly, he has a full six pack.
He pulls his head out the fridge victorious. "Ah ha, I do have some in here."
Hailey scrunches her nose. "Are they even good still?"
Adam scowls questionably. "Probably not, I don't even remember the last time I bought beer, I was doing the sober thing in support of Kim."
Hailey awkwardly looks at her feet, unsure how to comment on that. She just nods her head and looks back up at Adam.
Their eyes lock.
"Sorry." Adam says.
"Adam, it's ok it's why I am here, you need someone to listen."
He nods. "Yeah it sucks. I already loved that baby. I mean I get how this is hard for Kim and I know she tried to stay out of that motel room, but I think I am bit angry that she even was out looking. I can't say I wouldn't have done the same thing in her situation though."
"Yeah, you two seem to be cut from the same cloth in that regard." Hailey thought back to their argument over the Antonio incident.
Adam just nods, "yeah, we respect each other's job decisions. It's everything else that we couldn't figure out." Eluding to Kim and his breakup.
"Had you ever thought about kids before this?" Hailey asks curiously.
"In the grand scheme, yeah it was just something that would happen eventually. Actually having it happen was something else. It was shocking but I was happy and all in, I wanted to be there for my kid."
Hailey looks at him longingly. Both of them knowing about each other's youth, she gets it. He wanted his child to have a different childhood than him.
All she can manage is a half choked "yeah."
"Have you ever thought about them?" Adam asks. How had this never come up when they were together?
"Once upon a time I did." She knew she probably should have told him about her experience but wasn't ready to open those wounds up again.
"And now?"
"I don't think it's in the cards for me." The undercover op with Garrett was the last time she had thought about kids. She had begged her Sargent at the time to leave that piece of the medical records out of her case file.
Adam just nodded, as he took a pull on his beer. She clearly didn't want to talk about it.
"I think I'm just upset that Kim isn't considering my feelings. That baby was mine too. I know she experienced something horrible but so did I. If she would just let me in we could help each other through it."
Hailey smiled, she wasn't surprised at the rapid change of topics. That was Adam, if you waited long enough he would spew what was bothering him.
"She is still not letting anyone in, hey? "
"No, I don't know how much more I can do to get her to open up."
Hailey filed this information for later. She might have to reveal her situation to get through to Kim.
"It has to be on her terms, unfortunately. "
Adam sighed and nodded.
"Let's dig into this pizza. I think there is a Blackhawks game on."
Adam woke with a start, it took him a minute to realized he was at his place. He glanced at the clock 4:00 am. His chest felt heavy and he looked down to see an arm draped across it. He looked at the pillow next to him. Shit, it was Hailey. He ran a hand over his face. Judging from the pounding of his head that second six pack or more must have been good. He double checked his alarm was set for 6 and fell back asleep.
Hailey woke up just after Adam had fallen back asleep. Shit not again. Why did they keep going to each other? She slowly untangled herself from Adam as she tried to maneuver out of bed without waking him.
She found her underwear and slipped them on. Slowly backing out of his room following the trail of clothes back to the kitchen living room area. By the look of the coffee table and kitchen island they had had way more than 6 beer. She quickly re dressed herself and slipped out the front door.
