"No Friday night or Saturday patrol shifts? Platt is going easy on you." Kim said as she grabbed some glasses from a cabinet.
Adam chuckled.
"Yeah well I am not going to complain since it means we have a day off together." He then took a deep breath and said, "Maybe we can use it to talk."
He had been staying at her place since the night he came back. After Adam talked with Voight he showed up at Kim's place. She told him he could crash with her since his place was gone. They hadn't really talked about what was going on between them or what was going to happen because they both had been at work most of the time but they needed to. They both knew they couldn't just kiss and make up with everything they had been through. They needed to get everything out in the open before they could move on and hopefully be together. That's what he wanted and hoped it was what she wanted since she was having him stay here.
"Okay." Kim replied placing the glasses on the table where Adam had a bottle of wine and some take out Italian food. "But it will probably be in our best interest not to do it all at once or we are going to get mad at each other or more likely you will get mad at me."
Adam walked over and wrapped his arms around her waist. "We will get through it. No matter what this time." He told her and he was a hundred percent serious. He wasn't leaving her this time. And if she tried to walk away again he was chasing after her. He had lived a year of his life without her and he never wanted to do that again.
"No matter what." Kim repeated. She loved having Adam in her apartment and wrapped in his arms. She had so much going through her head at the moment but being here with Adam she decided just to focus on him. The stood there looking at each other until Kim's stomach growled.
"Well I guess its time to eat." Adam said as she let out a small laugh.
The two of them sat and ate their dinner together. Being back together they just fell right back into place. As if the last year hadn't happened. Kim was really grateful for that but afraid of what was going to happen when they did talk about everything that happened. He was going to hate her. She knew it, so she was going to enjoy this time while she could.
"So I didn't get to ask Maddie. How is Zoe doing?" Adam asked.
"She is good. They have her in every sport imaginable. Mark jokes that he only gets to see her when they are driving her from one practice to another." Kim told him before taking a sip of wine.
"That's good. You should have seen Halstead's face when she called him out for trying to figure out how she was Zoe's mom." Adam told her.
"Oh I can imagine from the questions I got when I got back to the bullpen. And Maddie wanted to know why the whole team didn't know about her. I had to explain that we really didn't talk about personal lives at work." Kim explained.
"She knows you aren't ashamed of her." Adam reassured her.
"I know. And she knows. Its just so normal for me at this point I don't even think I need to tell people." Kim told him. Stuff with her sister wasn't very complicated. It the beginning it was a circus but now life was normal. Maddie was a great mom to Zoe and worked her ass off. Kim was so proud of her sister.
"I understand that. And I'm sure Maddie does too." Adam said and reached across the table to grab Kim's hand.
"Yeah." Kim said softly. Adam knew that yeah meant Kim wanted to change the subject.
"So you haven't told me how being partnered with Olinksy is going." Adam asked trying to change the subject.
"Much better topic." Kim said sarcastically. "He hates me."
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you." Adam said reassuringly.
"He hates me. He feels indebted to me now cause I saved his life. But I think he still hates me."
"You saved his life?" Adam asked with a hint of disbelief he tried hiding from his voice.
"Don't be so shocked. I tackled a guy with a rifle pointed at him." Kim explained. She wanted to tell the story that night at Molly's to everyone but bit her tongue because she knew it would get back to Al and he would ride her ass about bragging so she kept it to herself.
"Just give him some time. If you remember he wasn't that fond of me when I started with him either." Adam told her. Adam couldn't count how many times he was sure Al was going to send him out of Intelligence when he first started.
Kim let out a small laugh as she thought of that. "Good point."
The two of them spent the rest of the night on the couch watching a movie. They weren't exactly cuddling but some body part was touching the other at all times. Adam was really looking forward to after the talk because he figured after it would be more normal for him to hold her and kiss her. Whereas Kim was not looking forward to the talk because she figured it would be the end of all of this. As much as she knew Adam wanted to put the bad behind them she had a sinking feeling he wasn't going to be happy with what she was going to tell him. How was she going to explain the push test, or Roman? She was going to enjoy her quiet night with him for now and think of that tomorrow.
After the movie Kim got up from the couch.
"I'm going to head to bed." Kim told him. She walked over to where he was resting on the couch and gave him a kiss on the cheek and lingered there for a little bit.
"Don't be scared Kim." Adam whispered to her.
"I'm not scared. I'm terrified." Kim whispered back. Adam then grabbed her face and kissed her fiercely. As if he was trying to kiss the fear out of her. Kim didn't want to but she finally pulled away.
"Why?" Adam asked not hiding the hurt from his voice. He wanted her. He made the move and for some reason she was still pushing him away. He thought she wanted this too. Why else would she have him staying at her apartment?
"I don't want to get my hopes up." She told him and then kissed he cheek again and head to her room closing the door behind her.
Adam sat up on the couch and put his head in hands. She was so close yet so far. And all he wanted was her in his arms for the rest of his life.
