Kim's phone buzzed.
Sylvie: Had a rough day. Drinks at Molly's? I could use some girl talk.
Kim: Sure thing. I'll be there after shift
Kim walked into Molly's after her shift to meet Sylvie. Kim normally likes to avoid Molly's on days she knew Adam would be there but her friend needed her so she went even though Atwater told her he was headed there with Adam and Halstead.
She scanned the room for Sylvie and found her at a high top table. Sylvie held up two shots to show Kim she didn't need to head to the bar.
"Thanks for coming. I saw them come in" Sylvie said motioning to The intelligence guys which included Adam "and Otis said he would take care of us personally here so we wouldn't have to run into anyone" Sylvie explained.
"I'm a big girl can get my own drinks" Kim joked as she took a shot from Sylvie.
"To being big girls" Sylvie toasted as she lifted her shot to Kim's.
"To being big girls" Kim repeated at the exact moment she met eyes with Adam from across the bar. Then she took her shot slammed it back on the table and turned back to talk to her friend.
Adam was surprised to see Kim at Molly's tonight. Atwater told him she tried to avoid the bar when she knew Adam would be here. But there she was doing shots and drinking beers with Sylvie. He couldn't get the look of how sad her eyes were when she looked at him out of his head.
Through out the night Adam would look back to check on Kim but he kept noticing this one guy checking her out. He didn't want to watch this guy try to flirt with her. But he really didn't want to see her flirt back.
"Quit staring, man" Jay said to Adam. That's probably why she doesn't like to come here when you are." Jay said trying to joke but it hit Adam hard. Adam went to order another drink and caught the guy finally making his way over to Kim and Sylvie out of the corner of his eyes.
Kim and Sylvie had covered all the bases for their conversation and were talking about heading home soon when a guy approached Kim and said, "Aren't you that cop that shot the black kid? Do you only shot black kids or white ones to? Did they let you keep being a cop after that? You are a prime example of why women shouldn't be cops you let your feelings get in the way" he went to say more but then all of a sudden someone came out of nowhere and punched the guy. The guy stumbled back and Kim realized the person who punched him was Adam as Adam punched him again. Atwater and Jay ran in to stop Adam from killing the guy and Kim could vaguely here Adam say, "Don't you ever talk to her like that" before she finally ran out of the bar.
Adam didn't know what came over him. Well he did, his love for Kim. He couldn't just stand there while that guy verbally attacked her. Once Atwater and Halstead finally got him off the guy his wanted to see if she was okay. He turned around but only Sylvie was standing there with her mouth agape at what she just saw. "She went outside" she told him.
Adam walked towards the door of the bar saying "Sorry Herrman" as he waved at his behind the bar. He walked outside and found Kim leaning against the wall of the bar crying.
"Hey. Hey it's me. It's okay," he said softly as he pulled her into his arms. Kim leaned her head against his chest and continued to cry.
"I'm so sorry. I've messed everything up." Kim said in between her sobs.
It's okay Darlin'. Do you want me to take you home?" Adam asked.
"Yes please" Kim choked out.
She waited a minute then asked "Adam do you think you could stay with me tonight? I don't think I can be alone after that."
"Of course" he said as he kissed the top of her head before he pulled away from her to lead the way to his car. They both knew this wouldn't normally happen but it felt so right.
Adam didn't get one wink of sleep that night. He easily could have. He missed Kim's bed and her sleeping next to him but he just watched her sleep and worried. She had been through a lot on patrol, will this have finally broke her? Kim was strong but everyone has their breaking point. And what did him being here mean? Was this a one-time thing or did she want to get back together?
He would in a heartbeat. Even after everything his heart would always belong to her.
He didn't want to but he snuck out quietly leaving a note because he had to get to the office early.
Kim had slept better than she had in a long time. Even after everything that happened having Adam in her bed made her feel better: made her feel safe.
When she got up she was sad to see he was gone. She still didn't know why she asked him to stay with her but he was grateful she did. Having him there felt right. She found his note once she got out of bed.
It read:
Dear Kim,
Sorry I had to leave before you woke up. Voight needed me in. Let's do dinner tonight at our normal place. We should talk.
Love,
Adam
They should talk but what could she say. 'Sorry I was the world's biggest idiot for ending things? I regret everything'. Because that's how she felt.
The one day he would give anything to run into Kim at the district he couldn't find her. He knew she was there because of something Erin said but they just kept missing each other.
Atwater and Halstead gave him shit for leaving them to clean up the mess of that guy. They managed to convince the guy it wouldn't be in his best interest to press charges and Adam just shrugged. He did what he had to do he didn't care about the consequences. He just wanted this day to be over so he could go talk to Kim. He wasn't sure what he was going to say but he was finally ready to figure out what happened between them and fix it.
Kim spent most of the day in a haze. Her new partner Emily didn't really notice since they were still new to each other, which made things easier. She didn't have to explain herself. The only time she wasn't sure what to say was when Emily asked her what she was doing tonight "getting dinner with my ex fiancé who defended my honor last night then slept over" was going to involve too many follow up question.
After shift Kim changed into jeans and a light sweater to head to dinner. What is he gonna say? What am I gonna day. Probably sorry 800 times.
She walked up to her and Adams favorite restaurant. They would go about once a week when they were together but she hadn't been back since. Adam was waiting outside for her wearing jeans and button down black shirt. She walked right up to him and into his arms. Adam wrapped his arms around her and held her head against his chest. I've missed this they both thought. Then Kim started crying.
"Hey hey what's wrong" Adam said.
"Well everything." Kim said with a small laugh. "I'm so sorry Adam I'm sorry for everything. I miss you so much. I was an idiot."
"It's okay. I'm here now." Adam said with tears in his eyes.
They stood there for another few minutes before they both heard Kim's stomach growl. They pulled apart and laughed a little.
"I guess we should feed you." Adam said.
"Yeah I was so nervous today about seeing you I didn't eat much."
"Well let's go get you some food. There is nothing to be nervous about I'm here. Kim I'm in this." Adam stated.
"Adam, you're probably not gonna like a lot of what I'm gonna tell you happened." Kim admitted.
"I figure, but Kim, after having you in my arms yesterday and today nothing that happened in the past is going to change how I feel. I need you in my life. We will deal with what happened together. We might fight too but I'm in this, I'm not going anywhere. Are you?"
"I'm not going anywhere. I have missed you so much. I was an idiot but I'm in this now too" Kim said as she took Adam's hand and they walked into the restaurant to eat and figure out how they were going to make this work again.
