Part 2

One Week Later

Adam had been staying with Kim since she got out of the hospital 3 days ago. She still wasn't remembering much on her own but everyone was taking turns filling her in on her life over the last year and a half.

It broke Adam's heart all over again explaining to her each piece of their relationship, the engagement, all the little things in between, and then finally the break up. Most of Kim's responses consisted of "Why would I do that? That's so stupid." Retelling Kim everything that had happened in their lives was really giving Adam insight into understanding where things went wrong. Especially when Kim said things like, "So you didn't tell me you were engaged before Wendy until we were already planning our wedding?" it realized how stupid he had been on so many things.

Adam had a hard enough time telling Kim everything that happened with them he recruited Kevin to talk to her about Roman.

"I still don't understand." Kim said. "I mean I understand about him getting shot, the trial, and him leaving. But I don't understand why I would be in a relationship with him? That's so weird."

"It kinda was." Kevin joked. "I think you were in a bad place after what happened with you and Adam and he was there."

"Kev, be honest. I'm still trying to figure things out. What happened with me and Adam? He has told me everything but I still feel like there is something missing for me to end an engagement with him. I mean I'm still happy now thinking that he wanted to marry me."

"You really didn't talk to much to me about it. I mean I would have been there for you but you leaned on Erin more. She might be able to help you with that more." Kevin admitted.

"Okay. Maybe I'll talk to her. She texts me everyday to check up on me. I didn't know I had her phone number." Kim told him.

"Give her a call." Kevin said. "How are things with you and Adam now?"

"I don't know. I'm still so confused. I go to touch him some times because to me we are still in a relationship but he recoils when I do. So I am trying to stop that. I don't want him here out of pity. But since I don't remember being without him I don't know what I would do without him here." Kim confessed.

"Trust me he wants to be here. He is just trying to figure out what to do and not get his heart broken again." Kevin told her.

"I still don't understand why I would break his heart in the first place." Kim said.

Erin was so happy Kim finally reached out to her. She knew she didn't remember their friendship still but Erin was happy to try to help out her friend. She walked into the coffee shop and saw Kim sitting at a table. Erin walked up and went to say hi but then just stop and froze.

"I didn't know how you like your coffee so I got everything." Kim said. Erin didn't respond. Kim finally asked, "Is everything okay? Did I do something wrong?"

Erin finally snapped back into it, "No you didn't do anything wrong. Its just you have done this before." Erin admitted.

"Done what?" Kim asked.

"The first time we had coffee together you brought over everything too." Erin explained.

"Oh." Kim said.

"At least you are consistent." Erin tried to joke.

"Yeah." Kim said. "I'm sorry I wish I remembered more."

"Its okay. I'm happy to help fill in some things." Erin told Kim and she made her coffee.

"Everyone said you were there for me after things ended with Adam and whatever happened with Roman." Kim started. "Adam and Kevin have filled me in on everything that happened. I just don't remember what I was thinking or if there were other things that happened that the two of them didn't know about. I'm hoping you can maybe tell me what was wrong with me to end things with Adam and move to Roman cause right now that just blows my mind."

"I guess I should start at the beginning. We started really talking when Platt told me you were going to transfer because you were feeling upset and guilty about ending the engagement. You said a lot that you didn't want to end it but you had to."

"I was going to transfer?" Kim asked.

"Yeah. You took it really hard. You were convinced Adam didn't want to marry you. I think a lot of it was actually stuff Roman said to you that got in your head." Erin admitted. She had never told Kim that last part before.

"But then I was seeing Roman?" Kim questioned.

"Yeah. That was weird. But you were in a weird place. When he left for San Diego he asked you to go with him but you said no." Erin said.

"Well at least I did one smart thing." Kim joked. And then went to rub her head.

"I am so bad I totally forgot to ask. How are you feeling?" Erin asked.

"I'm okay. I get headaches every now and again. The doctors say they are normal." Kim told her.

"Okay. Did they tell you when you start back at work?" Erin asked.

"I have a few more doctors appointments before they can but I'm hoping soon." Kim said. "Speaking of work, I went by the district the other day and I didn't see Nadia, did she ever make it into the academy?" Kim asked.

Erin's breath caught. No one told her? Ugh.

Erin worked really hard not to cry. "She made it in but she was murdered before she got the letter." Erin said quietly.

"What? How? Who would do such a thing?" Kim was crying now. Why didn't anyone tell me?

"It's a long story." Erin told Kim because she didn't want to think about it let alone talk about it.

"I'm so sorry Erin. I know how important she was to you." Kim choked out as she cried. "She was a good friend."

"Yeah. I didn't take it to well. But things have been better." Erin said.

"I'm sorry. Me crying isn't making this better." Kim said.

"No its okay. For you its technically the first time hearing it." Erin said consoling Kim.

"I should probably get going. My head is really bothering me." Kim said starting to stand up.

"Do you need a ride home?" Erin asked.

"No. I'm gonna walk. Thanks though." Kim said.

The two made their way to the door. Before parting outside Kim turned to Erin and asked, "What do you think I should do about Adam?"

"What does your heart tell you?" Erin asked.

"It says I love him and wishes the old Kim didn't mess everything up." Kim confessed.
"Then I say figure out how you two and can get things to work again." Erin said. "I'm sure you can convince Adam that everything you did before was an evil twin or something." Erin joked.

"Thanks." Kim said laughing. "I see why we were friends." Then she gave Erin a little wave and headed home.

Adam let himself into Kim's apartment and found the lights off. He figured Kim wasn't home from her time with Erin so he turned the lights on and walked through the door. He heard her before he saw her.

"Turn those lights off now, if you want to live." Kim said lying on the floor in front of her couch with a washcloth over her face. Adam wanted to laugh but just did as he told.

"Kim." He said trying to get her to talk.

"Kim is asleep right now. Same thing goes for the talking. Stop talking if you want to live." She said.

Adam laughed to himself. He forgot how childish and super dramatic Kim got when she didn't feel well.

"Then Kim doesn't want to burger and fries I got her?" Adam asked opening the bag a little so she could smell it.

"Can you feed it to me here?" Kim asked pathetically. Her head felt like it was splitting in two. The doctors said the pain was necessary and she could take medicine for it but she didn't want to especially after hearing about Nadia she just wanted to lie there in the pain.

"I'll see what I can do. But that means there will be some talking." Adam explained.

"If there is going to be talking I need some of my pain killers then." Kim said still not moving from her spot on the floor.

"Is my voice that painful?" Adam joked.

"No." Kim said. "My head just hurts that bad."

"Why didn't you take anything earlier?" Adam now asked concerned as he grabbed her prescription bottle off the kitchen counter to bring to her.

"I don't know." Kim said. Even though she did. She just didn't want to worry him.

"Okay." Adam said as she made his way over to where Kim was lying down and pulled a fry out of the bag. "Open up" he said. Kim opened her mouth and Adam fed her a french fry.

"Oh my god these are so good. Are they from that place Kevin took us?" Kim asked still chewing.

"Yeah. Wait." Adam said.

"What?" Kim asked.

"You remember that?" Adam asked trying to hide the excitement in his voice.

"Yeah. Why?" Kim asked finally taking the towel off her face and trying to sit up.

"Kim, Kevin took us there after the engagement as his way of celebrating." Adam said with some small excitement. "Do you remember anything else?" Adam asked.

"I don't know. The doctors said it might come back in small bits. Maybe this is just one." Kim said still a little confused.

"That's good. Hopefully this is just the start." Adam said as he pulled their burgers out of the bag. He then noticed the look on Kim's face.

"What's wrong?" He asked.

"I don't want to remember everything." Kim finally admitted.

"What? Why?" Adam asked. He knew he didn't want her to remember everything but that was because he was selfish and liked having her in his life again.

"Because I'm afraid if I do I will lose you. I love having you here. I can't imagine you not in my life. And remembering that will be painful. I don't know who that Kim was that would break up with you and sleep with Roman. That's not me. I don't know who that Kim was and I don't want to." Kim confessed.

"Kim, I'm not going anywhere this time. I don't care if you remember everything and try to kick me out. I'm here. I will fight for you this time. We will make this work." Adam told her.

"Promise?" Kim asked.

"I promise, as long as you promise to tell me when you remember things and don't hide it from me because you are afraid. I want to know everything." Adam told her.

"I promise." Kim said.

"So do you remember anything else?" Adam asked.

"I don't think so. Erin tried to fill me in on a few things but I still don't remember any of that." Kim said.

"At this point do you remember having feelings for Roman?" Adam asked. He had been wanting to he just didn't know how.

"No. Not at all. It sounds so weird to me. Erin said it was weird too." Kim said. "What could have possibly been so crazy that I would sleep with him?" Kim asked.

"I think it was my fault." Adam admitted.

"Why?" Kim asked him.

"Well you to were always together and I was getting really jealous since you wouldn't even talk to me and at one point I snapped and told him he could have you?" Adam confessed. He kicked himself everyday for saying that.

"He could have me? Really?" Kim said, getting upset.

"Kim I was in a dark dark place then." Adam explained.

Kim didn't say anything. She was trying to think, trying to remember something about it but she couldn't.

Then finally she said, "Was I there when you told Roman he could have me?" Kim practically choked on the last words.

"Yeah." Adam said hanging his head low.
"Well yeah then I can see me doing something with him just despite you. That would have definitely hurt me." Kim admitted.

"I didn't mean to. Or maybe I did. I just know I was so miserable without you." Adam tried to explain. "I had no idea what happened between us and then I see you laughing around the district with Roman. It was like a knife to the gut."

"Now, I'm really confused. You say I was happy but Erin said I was so miserable I had transfer papers in but she and Platt stopped me." Kim said trying to process everything.

"You were going to transfer? I didn't know that." Adam said.

"Me either." Kim joked.

Adam shook his head at her lame joke and then opened his arms for her and said, "Come here." Kim moved herself into Adam's arms from where they sat on the floor. Once her head was resting on his chest Adam said, "Kim I'm not going anywhere this time. I don't care if you get all your memories back and try to physically push me out of your apartment. I don't care. I'm going to fight for you and for us this time. I guess I didn't make this clear enough so I will now. Kim you are it for me. You are who I want to spend the rest of my life with not matter what. I love you."

"I love you too." Kim said crying. "I know this is suppose to mean something more since we apparently went through stuff but it just feels normal to me."

"I know this sounds selfish but I secretly hope sometimes you won't remember everything so you won't remember why you ended things with me." Adam confessed.

"I secretly hope so too. The last year sounds crappy besides you proposing. That's the only part I wish I could remember." Kim admitted.

"I am a genius and have an idea!" Adam announced as he walked through Kim's door the next night with two bags of groceries.

"I hope the idea is not for me to cook whatever you have in that bag." Kim said as she sat on the floor stretching. She wanted to go for a run but her body was still sore from her fall so she just stretched.

"Nope. I am going to be cooking it." Adam said proudly putting the bags on the table and pulling out the ingredients for dinner.

"You cook things besides TV dinners?" Kim asked as she got up the floor and made her way to sit at one of the bar stools by the kitchen counter.

"Yes. I have a secret recipe for fettuccini alfredo. I made it for you before." Adam told her.

"I don't remember." Kim said with a sadness in her voice.

"Exactly." Adam said.

"What?" Kim asked.

"Last night you remembered the hamburgers and fries. So I was thinking if I made you this it might trigger for you something that happened that night." Adam said as he started preparing the food.

"That is an interesting hypothesis Dr. Ruzek." Kim said jokingly.

"What do you think?" Adam asked.

"We will see how it goes." Kim said. "Wanna explain something to me as you cook?" Kim asked him.

"Sure. What?" Adam said while he moved some stuff to the stove.

"Why and how is Donald Trump running for President?" Kim asked.

"Ah. I will tell you but you still probably won't believe it after." Adam said as the two of them talked while he cooked.

About an hour later the two of them sat eating.

"What do you think?" Adam asked.

"This is delicious." Kim said as she went for another fork full.

Adam stayed quiet. He wanted to see if she would remember something. So he just sat, ate, and watched her beautiful face.

"Why was Al and teenage girl staying with us?" Kim finally asked.

"YESS!" Adam said thrilled.

"Wait it worked!" Kim said in excitement. "I mean I don't remember everything but I remember them being at your apartment. And I feel like the girl said something to me I didn't like. Who is she?"

"Al's daughter, Michelle. Al found out about her and Meredith kicked him out so he asked if they could stay here. They showed up as I was cooking for you. And then you walked in right after. The look on your face was pretty hilarious but you looked beautiful in the dress you wore." Adam explained.

"And then she asked me one more why we weren't living together?" Kim asked trying to figure out if that was right in her head.

"Yeah. Which then lead to a conversation about us finding an apartment together and then a horrible apartment hunt." Adam told her. He wanted to leave the part that they couldn't agree on anything out. If it was important maybe she would remember it on her own.

"So your hypothesis is a success so far. Does this mean we have to figure out what I ate everyday for the last year and half in order for me to remember everything?" Kim asked.

"I was thinking of just taking you to the district and having you drink a lot of the coffee since you practically lived off that stuff and hope you get 80% of your memory back." Adam joked. Then added, "We will take it one day at a time. Don't worry. We will do it together."

"Together. I like the sound of that." Kim said.
