A/N: Mature scene ahead, if you are not a fan please skip ahead. This is depicted in italics as a flashback. Also, it looks like there isn't an episode until the crossover, can someone comment on that?
Kim woke up with her alarm and it was eerily quiet for a change. She wasn't sure how she felt about it yet. She laid there in bed trying to slowly wake up, her hand went to her lower abdomen and rested there for a minute before it came back. There was no baby. She quickly moved her hand away, she cursed herself for forgetting. She couldn't cry anymore, She was cried out.
She sleepily made her way into the kitchen for coffee, real coffee. Part of her felt guilty, like she should still be drinking decaf, just in case. She knew it was silly but couldn't help but still imagine. For not being sure she wanted this baby in the beginning, she had very quickly changed her mind.
Her and Adam were in a good place. After their talk she realized what she had been doing to him. She just wanted to protect her heart and she knew once she opened the door she wouldn't be able to hold back.
Now the guilt of shutting him out was eating away at her. He missed out seeing his baby for the first time and hearing the life of its heartbeat, the first and last for her. She knew he was in as soon as she decided to keep the baby. She could see the look of relief on his face when she told him, that scared the hell out of her but also gave her hope.
That hope may have been the reason that she suggested the co habitation, co parenting scenario. She could understand why other people would think it were crazy. She hadn't even thought about how it would work if one of them started seeing someone else, she hoped it wouldn't happen. She just wasn't ready to deal with her feelings for Adam but wanted to keep him close, as selfish as that sounded.
Crap, she looked at the time, she had gotten lost in thought longer than she realized.
She had to scramble to get to work now.
Kim barrelled up the stairs to the district, dropped her duffel in her locker and jogged into the bullpen.
Rojas was pinning up a photo of the latest victim of a gang related shooting to the whiteboard.
Voight just nodded in her direction when he saw her come in.
She nods back.
Adam glances at Kim as she listens intently to Rojas and Kevin's rundown of the victim and particulars of the case.
He switches his focus back to the board but his thoughts and eyes begin to wander and land on Hailey.
He smiles as the night before starts to come back to him in pieces.
The Blackhawks game was long over, the multiple beer bottles that were discarded, lay precariously on his coffee table. With a random fast and furious playing on tv for the background for noise.
Hailey had got up to go to the washroom, so Adam grabbed a few bottles and brought them into the kitchen along with the now empty pizza box.
As Hailey made her way back to the kitchen to help tidy up, Adam pulled out the bottle of bourbon.
"Woah, not sure that's a good idea." She says as she hops up on the counter.
"Ah, it's still early." He smiles and shrugs glancing at the clock.
Hailey smiles and shakes her head at him. "I'm going to have to take an Uber home."
He sets down the glasses next to Hailey's thigh and pours two fingers in each glass.
They both down their glasses in quick succession.
"You can stay in the spare room, then you don't have to get your car later." Adam simply states as he refills the glasses.
"You sure that's a good idea?" Hailey questions as she downs the next glass.
"It's already made up, no worries." Adam refills her glass.
"Adam, you know that's not what I mean..."
Adam takes the rest of his drink before speaking, almost as if contemplating his next words.
"Hail, you and I both know we ended us because of how we felt for other people. Sure, the job and being in the same unit complicated us as well but the primary reason were the other people."
Hailey gulps down the drink feeling it burn on the way down.
"Am I that transparent?"
Hailey notices that both glasses are once again refilled.
"Ha, you hide it well. Either he is a complete idiot or hasn't admitted it to himself yet either."
Adam finishes off his drink. Not loving this conversation.
"I think you need to put that bottle away. Ug, difficult conversations and rapid shots do not make a good combo." Hailey laughs.
"Yeah, guess you are right." Adam smiles. He brings his head up and looks at her from under his long lashes.
He pushes off the counter behind him and places his hands on either side of Hailey, trapping her on the counter and leaving very little space between the counter and Adams body.
"Hailey, I just want to say thank you for tonight. It was good to feel normal, that seems like an odd word to use but I don't know how else to explain it."
Hailey nods. "Anytime, you know I care about you." She lifts her hand to the side of his face to cup his cheek as his head is looking down at something very interesting at his feet.
Adam raises his head when he feels her hand on his cheek. He is searching for some sign in her eyes. Hailey gives a soft smile and presses her fingers slightly into the back of Adams.
They were both hesitant at first but as Hailey's lips softened Adam forgot everything but the moment.
Hailey's hands wrap themselves around Adams neck. As Adam moves his right hand to thread through Hailey's hair, while the other goes to her hip and pulls her closer to the edge of the counter. Adam is wedged between Hailey's thighs now.
Both of them pull back just enough to catch their breath, realizing this was going down a slippery slope. They look at each other as their breathing evens out.
Hailey reaches for Adam first, one hand clutching a fist full of his shirt and the other pulling him closer. As the kiss heats up, Hailey is rocking against Adams groin. His belt buckle hitting her just right, she lets out a small moan.
They both pull back and Hailey is quick to pull Adams shirt up and reach for his belt buckle, undoing it with one hand while the other, is pulling Adams head closer to hers to deepen the kiss.
Adam's hands are snaking their way up Hailey's shirt. Gently skimming along her ribs and then slowly slinking their way under her bra, grazing the skin right below her nipple. His fingers push into the cup as he breaks the kiss to move to her neck, Hailey's breath comes out as if she were panting.
Adam pulls back far enough to pull her shirt over her head, he then does the same to his own. Adam's pants were halfway down his legs, Hailey's hair a mess from having Adam's fingers weaved through it.
Adam lunges back into the kiss, attacking her mouth. He has never needed an escape more than he does now.
Hailey is along for the ride, she knows what this is for him and maybe she needs it too. Physically, Adam and her were always good together, why not enjoy it.
She can feel his hand go to her button on her pants, she hears the pop and zip and feels as Adam's hand slowly slides into her pants. Hailey manages a strangled cry as she pulls back just long enough to mutter a throaty "bedroom."
Little does he know, Kim is watching him, watch Hailey.
Kim catches Adam's movement out the corner of her eye. She follows his eyes and sees them stop on Hailey. She knows the grin he has on his face. He used to look at her like that the morning after.
She hopes the shock isn't evident on her face. She panics at the thought and prays that no one notices.
How did things get like this between them?
Oh man, she missed the whole briefing.
"Hailey, Jay get in touch with gangs see what they have on these guys. Rojas and Ruzek, get knocking on some doors see what we can find out. Atwater and Kim reach out to your CI's, see what they know."
Voight barks out the tasks for the day.
Thank god Voight put her with Atwater, he would catch her up.
Kim and Kevin head out to their car, scrolling through their contacts to see who would be best to head to first.
Kevin breaks the silence.
"How you doing, Kim?"
"I'm tired of answering that question. How do you think I am doing?" Kim sighs exasperated.
"Fair point. I'll leave it alone, just know I am here if you need to talk."
Kim's tone softens as she replies "I know, Kev. I appreciate it, thanks."
"Anytime, Anytime."
She knows he would listen if she really wanted to talk but it's not really something that he would understand.
"Have you talked to Adam at all?" The question is out of her mouth before she realizes she is speaking.
Kevin just drops his head and glances sideways to look at her.
"No, not really. I don't think he is dealing with it though, just based on the last conversation we had."
"Well apparently, Hailey is getting through just fine." Kim muttered under her breath.
"What's that?" Kevin questions.
Kevin heard her but wanted to see if she will repeat it. He doesn't think she will and he is right.
He makes a mental note to ask Adam about that later. Man, why can't these two just talk to each other.
"Nothing. I need some coffee."
"Coming right up."
Kim thanks her lucky stars Kevin has dropped it for now.
