Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.
A/N: Ok so I admit it, I have a problem. i get these new ideas or in this case, I get this idea dropped into my lap in a review and my mind goes into overdrive and I can't stop myself and a quick general storyline forms in my head. So a guest left me a request about a girl stalking Adam and I just went with it. Thank you to that guest for the idea and here is chapter 1
Adam Ruzek had always been a good looking man to Kim Burgess but seeing him at the kitchen counter, jeans riding low on his hips, barefoot and shirtless made her insides feel all kinds of ways. They had gotten in late after a bust, saving a woman from her abductors and they had made love to relieve the stress of the whole case. Kim stayed in the doorway wearing one of Adam's shirts as she watched him move around.
"Darling, did you see my red plaid shirt?" He could sense her eyes on him for a few minutes now and he smiled at the thought of his girl wearing his shirt, her long legs peaking under them.
"No I haven't but I definitely see something I like." She wrapper her arms around his waist, pressing a kiss between his shoulder blades.
"We're going to be late if you keep that train of thought darling." He didn't mind her attentions at all but he knew Voight would have their head along with a lecture about working together in the unit and making it late, derailing the course of their day if they had a case waiting for them.
"I hate it when you kill the mood like that." She sighed as his body rumbled with laughter.
"I'll light it up as soon as we get back home tonight." He turned in her arms and leaned down for a kiss to show her exactly what he meant.
"I'll hold you up to that officer." She whispered as she opened her eyes from this breath taking kiss.
Adam took a sip of his coffee before walking around Kim to be able to find a shirt while she got some food in her system. He knew that without breakfast or coffee, she wouldn't be able to function and he needed her one hundred percent.
They managed to make it out of the door in time, a second coffee in a go cup for Kim. As soon as they stepped foot inside 21st, Platt was on their case.
"Hurry up you two love birds, Intelligence caught a heater."They both activated their legs and they up in the bullpen in record time.
"Alright everyone,we got to roll have a dead body at the Navy Pier." Voight walked out of his office. They didn't even bother to remove their coats before they were gone again. They spent most of the morning out on the boardwalk, trying to get as many information as they possibly could and by lunch, Kim had already had too much of it. The woman that had been found murdered was pregnant and it was bloody. The first sight of her and she had resisted the urge to throw up her breakfast in the grass. Adam had run a hand against her arm as she took a few deep breaths to keep her discomfort at bay. They returned to the district but Adam was stopped by Platt.
"Hey special sauce, you have a visitor." Adam looked at the direction of the bench in front of the front desk and recognized the woman.
"Hi, Katie right? How`s it going?" They had rescued her from two abductors that had literally taken her from the street in broad daylight.
"Yeah. I'm really good thanks." She smiled at him. The bruising and swelling on her face had for most part disappeared. "Listen, I really don't want to bother you too long because I know you have a busy days but I wanted to drop these off for you and the whole unit as a thank you for saving me." He gave him a big plastic container.
"No thanks necessary." He smiled back at her. "Just doing our job." He insisted, taking the container.
"Well it's the least I could do. There's cookies and brownies in there. Thanks again officer."
"Ruzek, Adam Ruzek."
"Thanks Officer Ruzek. Enjoy the cookies." He raised the container and smiled at her before he went back up the stairs. When he didn't see Kim sitting at her desk like the rest of the team, he went to the break room where he was pretty positive that he would find her. She had her back to him and she was facing the window.
"Hey, you ok?" She jumped at the contact of his hand on her shoulder.
"Far from it." It was merely a whisper. "Who even does that?" She turned around and faced him and he saw the tears in her eyes. "This was supposed to be a happy moment for her and her family but instead they have to make funeral arrangements." The tears were there but he could see through them to the rage she was feeling inside.
"We're going to find the animals who did this and they're going to pay, I promise." He kissed her forehead, giving her arms a squeeze. "Come on, let's go back." She nodded and they turned Kim saw the container on the table.
"What's that?"
"You remember the girl with saved that they kept in the basement of that house?" She nodded, remembering it like it was yesterday."Brownies and cookies as a thank you."
"I know who's going to empty that container." She gave him a hip bump and laughed as she made it back to her desk.
It took the team well into the night before they caught the perpetrators and Kim was utterly exhausted both physically and mentally and she couldn't wait to catch some sleep, Voight having given them a day off after the nature of this case.
She didn't care what time it was but she stripped down and went into a steaming hot shower, trying to get the images of the lifeless woman out of her head. Adam watched her go as he grabbed himself a beer. He knew she needed some space before he even contemplated going to see her. The husband had been the one to do the crime but he had sold his story pretty well that it had taken them forever to circle back to him. He put his empty bottle in the trash and went to strip down, deciding to go join her in the shower.
He could see the outline of her body as her hands were face down against the tiles of the shower walls. He quietly opened the shower door and slipped behind her, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Talk to me darling." She leaned into his chest and closed her eyes.
"I can't believe that a husband could do something so disgusting as to cut his wife open, a wife that is carrying his child no less." She sighed.
"Sometimes there's no logical reason." He couldn't find any sane reason as to why a man could do that to his wife.
"Make me forget." She turned in his arms and kissed him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him again, harder.
"How about I light it up and make you forget." They needed each other to make them forget and to make sense of it all so Adam made love to her in the shower. He knew that's what she wanted and if he was honest with himself, he wanted to forget too. He loved her so much that he wanted to forget with her so they could have good thoughts and make it through to the next case. Chicago saw its share of ugliness and if anyone wanted to stay sane doing that job, they needed to have moments in between to make it through.
Adam pulled Kim to him as they lay in bed after having showered. She was between consciousness and sleep and he pushed a strand of hair out of her eyes. He was propped up on his elbow and he just watched her be, his thoughts running away with him. He had made mistakes, lots of them but after tonight, he at least wanted to fix one of them.
"Are you awake?" He whispered, not wanting to startle her from the state she was in.
"Mmmm." Her eyes were still closed and he could feel her relax under his touch.
"You love me?"
"You know I do." She finally opened her eyes and smiled.
"Want to do something completely crazy with me?" He couldn't help the smile that was on his lips.
"How crazy?" She giggled, propping herself on her elbow.
"Marry me."
"Adam, you're insane." This was the most casual they had been, dawn almost upon them.
"I promise I'm not. I spent so much time wasting the time I spent with you, finding excuses not to take the next step. After today, I'm tired f wasting that time. I want to get married, today."
"Today? Adam we can't do this like that. We need a venue and rings and witnesses."
"You, me, Kevin and Trudy and City Hall. What do you say Kim Burgess, do you want to become my wife?"
"Yes." She pounced on him, straddling his hips and kissing him.
"Than we better get some sleep, you can make love to me all you want after that." He chuckled.
"What about the rings?"
"We can find them later, I just want us to get married."
"Ok." He raised her off of him and tucked her into his side. "Good night future husband." She couldn't believe what was happening and she snuggled into his side, falling into a short, peaceful sleep.
Adam was the first to wake up and he made a quick phone call to City Hall to make sure they could get it done so quickly and when he was sure, he texted both Kevin and Trudy to meet them there at two in the afternoon.
"I can't believe we are getting married." She giggled as Adam zipped her dress up. She was wearing a simple white dress with wide straps and a expanding waist, the hem barely reaching her knees.
"And you're the most beautiful bride to be I have every laid eyes on." He kissed her shoulder. He was wearing his black suit with a white shirt under. Kim had insisted he not wear a tie since she liked him so much without one.
"You're biased." She laughed. "Did Kevin and Trudy reply?" She was starting to be nervous.
"They did. They are going to meet us there. Are you ready?"
"Yeah." They had still some things to figure out but this was one wrong they were about to make right.
When they made it too City Hall, Kevin and Trudy were already there.
"I can't believe that this is finally happening." Kevin pulled Adam into a hug.
"Took you long enough special sauce." Trudy patted his shoulder and winked at him.
"I'm about to fix it." He pulled Kim to his side. "Ready darling?"
"No turning back now. I've been waiting a long time." She smiled at him and leaned up on her toes to kiss him.
The four of them made it to the room at the very end of the hall and there was a judge waiting for them.
"Are you ready?" He invited them to stand in front of him, facing each other.
"Witnesses?" Kevin slapped both hands on Adam's back.
"That's us." He was wearing a shit eating grin on his face. His two best friends were finally getting married.
The ceremony was simple and they were finally pronounced husband and wife, the two of them kissing under Kevin and Trudy's catcalls.
"This calls for a celebration." Kevin announced.
"Not just yet." He looked at Kim for confirmation. "We want to keep this on the DL but Molly's tonight for sure." They wanted to have the rings before they announced it to the rest of the team and their families. They parted with a promise of secrecy and returned to Kim's place.
Adam scooped her up and she laughed. "What are you doing?"
"Why, I'm carrying my wife over the threshold."
"You're insane."
"Insanely in love with you." He lowered her back to the ground and cupped her cheek. "Mrs Ruzek." He dipped down and kissed her.
"Say it again."
"I love you Mrs Ruzek." His name had never sounded so good on his lips.
"Show me how much Adam Ruzek." And he gave into his new bride's request and they made love until they met up with everyone at Molly's around nine. They were so happy with their friends and their new secret status that they didn't notice her sitting at the bar, her eyes watching his every move.
