Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.

A/N: Here we go again. So this fic will find Ruzwater fussing over a pregnant Kim and It'll be relatively short because I plan on it ending with her giving borth so I hope you guys will enjoy the journey.

Kim turned on her side in bed and a sudden wave of nausea hit her like a tidal wave and stumbled out of the bed she shared with Adam and made a b-line for the bathroom. She emptied the contents of her stomach and took a deep breath when it hit again and she puked a second time. She felt Adam behind her as he pulled her hair back.

"You okay darling?" His voice was still filled with sleep.

"If by okay you mean that I'm still alone, then yes." She grumbled as she sat on her heels.

"I'm sorry you have to go through this." He rubbed slow circles on her bath as she took a few steadying breaths.

"And guess who's fault it is?" Adam could only chuckle at her fake indignance.

"I'll try to remember that the next time you agree to have a baby with me." He kissed the top of her head. They news of the pregnancy was pretty new to them and the rest of the unit had yet to be informed about the news. Her only answer was a low grown as she got up and went to wash her mouth out of the bad taste. "I think we should tell the rest of the unit, or at least Voight." He watched her move around in the bathroom as he stood back up.

"It's too early." She sighed. They had this argument over and over again since learning she was pregnant a couple weeks prior but Adam was worried about her being in the field and that certainly didn't help.

"I know that you want to wait until our first appointment but I just want you to be safe darling." He made it to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her closer.

"I'm being careful Adam."

"I would be more comfortable if you at least told Antonio, come on Kim, meet me half way here." He pleaded with her.

"Atwater, we can tell Atwater."

"YES!" He released her body and cupped her cheeks, finding her lips in an excited kiss. Adam was dying to tell Kevin about this new development but Kim had pleaded with him to keep it mum for now.

"We better get ready for work, I don't want anyone to be suspicious if we're late." She turned the shower on and stripped under Adam's gaze and quickly slipped under the mist, trying to freshen up more than she felt.

Adam was waiting for her with a a mug of decaf and a bagel to go. "I was thinking inviting him over for dinner tonight." He ushered her out of the door and locked up behind them. "I doubt that you want to tell him in the locker room."

"Absolutely not." She huffed. This wasn't a news that was going to be told in the shadows of the break room, specially not to their best friend.

"That's what I thought." He chuckled as they drove towards the district.

"How long do you think you'll be puking your insides out?" He asked gently as he parked in his usual spot behind the building.

"Hopefully it'll be over soon. I don't think I can deal with it much longer." She leaned her head backwards on her headrest.

"I'll pull your hair back and rub circles on your back for as long as it takes." He ran his hand up and down her leg before they had to leave the comfort of the car.

"You'er the best." She laughed as they walked up the stairs and into the building.

"And don't you forget it." He walked in after her.

"You don't look so hot Burgess." Came Platt's voice as they tried to avoid her on the way in.

"I'm good sarge." She gave the older woman a smile that she hoped that she would buy and they made their way up the stairs just in time for Voight to call a case.

"Dawson, Burgess. I want the two of you to go check it out." Kim nodded and smiled at Antonio before turning around, Adam pleading with his eyes for her to be careful. They walked down the stairs and got into Antonio's car and drove to the scene.

"Everything okay Burgess?" Antonio looked at her with worry in his eyes.

"Everything is great Antonio." She smiled at him.

"Sure? Because you look a little bit pale." He kept his eyes on the road.

"Didn't sleep too well last night, nothing major I promise." She hated lying to her partner but she wasn't ready to share the news just yet.

"Okay." Kim knew he wasn't buying it in the least, the older Detective could smell bullshit anywhere but she kept to her story, hoping he could drop it as the day progressed. The rest of the drive to the scene was spent in silence and they knew they were getting closer when flashes of blue and red could be seen from afar. "Let's do this." She climbed out of her side of the car and followed closely behind Antonio. When they made it through the mass of officers, they were welcomed by another Detective, several tarps placed on bodies.

"What do we have here."

"Multiple murders, the shooter's in the wind." Kim crouched next to one of the bodies and lifted the tarp. She wasn't expecting what was under there and the sight of the teenager crippled with bullets gave her body a strong reaction and she removed herself from the scene and emptied the contents of her stomach on the other side of the street.

"You've never puked at a crime scene." She should have known that Antonio would have followed her.

"It's probably just what I ate last night that's not sitting good in my stomach." She lied easily as she wiped her mouth with the back of her hand.

"If you are going to lie about it straight to my face Burgess you have to come up with a better excuse than bad dinner." He deadpanned, crossing his arms over his chest and looking at her expectantly.

"I'm not lying Antonio." She took a few steadying breaths

"If I hadn't lived through two of them I might have believed you but no such luck." Her face paled even more. "How far along are you?"

"I found out a couple of weeks ago but I I had to take a guess maybe four weeks."

"And when exactly were you planning on sharing this important news with the rest of us, with me?"

"We wanted to wait until our first doctor's appointment."

"We?" He doubted this was something that Adam was willingly going along with.

"I wanted to wait." She sighed, looking at the ground.

"Look Kim." He nudged her so she would look at him. "I can't tell you what to do but we work in one of the toughest units in the city and what we do is dangerous. I'll keep you as safe as much as possible when we're out together but I think that the whole unit knowing would be best to protect you and this baby." He put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Just think about it?" She nodded through watery eyes. "You good to go back in there?"

"Yeah. Let's work the scene and go back to the twenty first." She smiled at him gratefully and they returned to the scene, the next hour was spent getting all the information. When Kim made it to the bullpen landing, Adam's eyes were on her and he clearly saw that whatever was on her mind would have to wait until later, the case coming first. It was only late in the evening when they returned to the district that they were able to breath, all the suspects in custody.

"Hey Kev, you up for some pizza and beers?" Adam slumped in his chair un-ceremoniously.

"After today, I'm down for anything."

"Alright, I'm buying." He and Kim exchanged smiles and after they were done with their paperwork, the trio was out the door, Antonio giving her a slight nod that she returned. Adam looked at Kim carefully when they got in the car. "Antonio knows doesn't he?" He shifted so his body was facing her.

"I puked when I saw that kid with bullets in his chest, he knew something was wrong and he didn't believe my lame excuses."

"That's Dawson for you." He chuckled. "But I'm glad that Antonio knows."

"Can we talk about this later tonight?" Antonio had given her food for thought and she wanted to talk about it with Adam when they were more relaxed later.

"Sure, let's get you home." They stopped on their way in to grab the pizza and Kevin was already waiting for them with some beer.

"Let's get this show on the road." He clapped Adam on the back and kissed Kim's cheek before they made inside the townhouse they had bought a few months back. Adam took the pizza to the living room, Kim finding a spot on his lap.

"How're you feeling?" He whispered in her ear as he pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Better, thanks." She ran her fingers through his hair and leaned down to kiss him.

"Alright, three beers and a toast." Kevin handed them both a bottle and she and Adam shared a secret glance before returning their attention to Kevin. "To another shit case solved."

"Amen to that." Adam raised his bottle and took a long swig, Kim placing it on the living room table.

"What's wrong Burgess? You ain't gonna take a drink of that beer?" He asked her with concern on his features. In all of the years that he'd known her, Kim was never one to turn down any sort of drink after a case like this one and yet she declined it without so much as one sip.

"Actually, there is some new that we want to share with you." Adam winked at her to continue, a wide grin on his face. "I'm pregnant." She smiled at the shocked look in her friend's eyes.

"You're." Kevin couldn't believe what he was hearing. "You're pregnant?" Adam's throaty chuckle pulled him out of his shocked state. "You're pregnant." Kim was suddenly pulled into a bone crushing hug by her best friend. "Congrats baby girl." He whispered in her ear

"Thanks Kev." That man had her heart as much as Adam and she knew that he was the one they both wanted as their child's godfather but tonight wasn't that night yet.

"Ruz, my man." He pulled his best friend in a hug, clapping his back.

"It totally came as a surprise man but it's the best one we could ask for." Adam told him honestly. The truth was they they hadn't been actively trying but the talk of children had been had.

"You are going to be amazing parents."

"Let's hope so." Kim mused.

"Well you're going to be an amazing parent. Ruz, I'm not so sure about." Adam went for a jab in the sides from the ribbing but Kevin moved aside and Adam was now stuck in a friendly head lock. "That knucklehead smells trouble." He laughed as he released his head.

"He'll be an amazing dad." Kim smiled at him and he returned one of his own with a wink.

"As long as you agree to school me when I do something stupid."

"Always." He grinned and the three of them continued to celebrate a while longer.

"So when are you telling the rest of the team?" Kevin finished his third beer.

"Antonio found out today at the scene after I tossed my breakfast and we wanted to wait until my first appointment before telling the rest of the unit."

"And you're okay with this?" Kevin suddenly realized what her decision was implicating.

"I'm not okay with this but she has the final call, I can only support her."

"Says the guy that put pressure on me this very morning to tell Antonio." She chuckled at the irony.

"A guy's gotta try to get some sense into that beautiful, thick head of yours." He pulled her to him and kissed her.

"I'm just not ready to tell them Kev, please respect that." She pleaded with him.

"Fine but I've got your back out there and so will Antonio and this guy too." He pointed at Adam. "Alright so I'll let the you get some rest and I will see the two of you in the morning." Adam relinquished his hold on Kim to be able to hug Kevin and watched her do the same.

"Night Kev." They walked him to the door.

"Night baby girl." Adam smiled at the hand shake before he was pulled in another hug by Kevin. "Congrats again brother."

"Thanks. We'll see you in the morning." They said their goodbye's and both Adam and Kim got ready for bed. "We're alone now, what happened with Antonio at the scene?" He slipped into the covers next to Kim. He watched her put some lotion on her legs and he propped himself on his elbow.

"He said that I should tell the rest of the team, have better back-up." Her hand went unconsciously to her still flat stomach.

"I tend to agree with him." He said gently, running a hand against her thigh.

"And what happens after I tell the rest of the team huh?" She turned to face him. "Voight will never let me back out on the field when he finds out. I don't know what else to be if I'm not being a cop." Adam could see the fear and uncertainty in her eyes and he hated seeing that in his girl."

"You won't know until you talk to him darling. Maybe you can come to some kind of arrangement with Voight."

"And what kind of arrangement would you okay with?" She knew he was scared on a certain level about her being out there too.

"Honestly, I don't know." This was something they hadn't talked about when the subject of kids had been brought up. "I know I want you safe but you're a damn good cop and certainly not a hot head like me." He mused with a smile. "I know the whole team will have your back when I can't and that alone would help me feel better."

"Does it scare you?" She lied down against her pillow as Adam pulled her to him.

"Shitless." He confessed. "I'm scared of not being able to protect you or this kid the way you deserve and I'm scared to be a shitty dad." He ran his fingers through her hair and Kim emitted a hum in response.

"You could never be a shitty dad Adam." She looked up in his eyes to see the same fear and uncertainty that she felt in her chest. "You love more than any person I know and you are loyal to a fault." She ran her fingers through his stubble and he closed his eyes and took it all in. "Me and this baby are lucky to have you." She pushed herself a bit higher so she could kiss him. "I think we'll be just fine." She smiled at him.

"I'm the lucky one." He whispered back, his left hand finding the taught skin of her stomach.

"First thing when we get in, we'll tell the news to the rest of our family." Because that was what the Intelligence Unit of the Twenty First was, family.

"Good idea." And Adam pulled Kim flush against him and his steady heartbeat lulled her to sleep, the both ready to face this pregnancy together.
