Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.

A/N: So this week's episode gave me all the Burzek feels I could ask for and even though I know they will struggle going forward, I'm happy seeing them talk so I put a bit of it in this chapter.

Adam turned on his side and fully expected to find Kim snuggled in against him but her side of the bed was empty. He raised his head to hear the shower running in the en-suite and he smiled, pushing the covers from his body and swinging his legs to the side. He was definitely going to share that shower with her knowing they were early enough to have a bit of spare time and why not save some water while they were at it. He slipped into the bathroom un-noticed and made as little sound as possible when he opened the glass door to the shower and slipped behind Kim, wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Morning." He hummed in the crook of her neck.

"Morning." She whispered back, turning around in his arms and kissing him gently.

"What are you doing up so early?" He pushed a strand of wet hair out of her face.

"Nervous?" She didn't sound sure of herself. "Scared?" Her mind was still trying to wrap her head around the fact that they were going to tell the rest of the team in just a few hours time.

"It's going to be okay." He pecked her lips. "Kevin and Antonio already know and they'll back up whatever decision we make."

"How can you be so calm?" She groaned, annoyed at the way he was handling all of that.

"I am not the one who is carrying a precious cargo." He argued. "But what I do know is that our team will be behind us one. hundred. per. cent." He accentuated each word to make sure she knew he believed each word of it.

"I don't know what I would do without you." She sighed, kissing him again.

"You would be perfectly fine and would kick some serious ass like I know you can."

"I love you."

"I love you too." They kissed and showered quickly, Adam wanting to make breakfast for Kim to give her a little bit more strength for the day. He watched her take her fill of food while he drank his coffee, leaning against their counter.

"Aren't you going to eat?" She questioned when her plate was already half empty.

"I'm good for now." He assured her with a smile. Kevin had texted him saying he would bring him some food at the district. Adam took Kim's empty plate when she was done and pushed her a cup of decaf and he watched her hum appreciatively as the hot liquid went down her throat.

"I would die without coffee." She exclaimed, making Adam laugh.

"Amen to that." She scoffed at him, only making him laugh more. "Come on, let's get going so we can tell our news before chaos starts."

"Yeah." She sighed. She hurried to brush her teeth and they were out of the door.

Adam parked in his usual spot and turned the engine off, facing Kim. "Hey, it's going to be okay." He reached across the middle console to take hold of her hand.

"What if they bench me? I can't sit and do nothing Adam."

"We will figure something out." He raised her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles. "Come on."

"Okay." She said under her breath and the two of them got out of the car. They climbed the stairs into the district together and Kim took a deep breath before she approached the front desk. "Morning Sarge." Adam stayed close behind her in an invisible support.

"Morning Burgess." She looked over her glasses at the two of them. "Something I can do for you?"

"Is everyone in?" She asked casually.

"Yes they are. What are you up to Burgess?" She asked her suspiciously.

"Can you come up for five? There's something I need to tell everyone and I would prefer you be there too." She tried to regulate her breathing.

"I'll be right up." She assured her and Kim went up to the chain fence, Adam guiding her with a hand on her lower back. He palmed in and the two of them walked up, finding everyone at their desk and Voight in his office.

"That's why you didn't eat breakfast at home." She pointed at the bag on Adam's desk.

"Kevin promised me the greasy good stuff." Adam shrugged, taking his jacket off and placing it on the back of his chair. Kim and Antonio exchanged a glance and a smile and Kim placed her own coat on her chair, waiting nervously for Platt to come up the stairs so she and Adam could tell the rest of the unit. She came to sit on the side of Adam's desk, facing Voight's office and he ran a hand against her leg, trying to calm her down. "Kim." He nudged her when he realized that Platt was on the top landing. Kim pushed herself from the desk and walked towards Voight's office.

"Hey Sarge?" He looked up from the paperwork he was doing. "Can I have a minutes?"

"Come in Burgess." He motioned for her to close the door.

"Actually I wanted to see you out there." He looked at her with concern but nodded. He followed behind her and was surprised to find Trudy there.

"Trudy?" He voiced it out loud.

"I have no clue, she's the one who asked me up here."

"Yeah, actually, I needed to talk to the whole unit." Her nerves were on high alert. "Adam and I have some news to share with you." Jay looked at her expectantly and Kim could see Hailey with a huge smile on her face, all knowing. With all eyes on her, her mouth suddenly became dry and she couldn't get a word out.

"What Kim is trying to say is that she and I are expecting a baby." His smile was wide as the worlds left his lips and then a roar of congratulations erupted around them and they were engulfed in hugs from the whole team, including Antonio and Kevin who already knew about it.

"I'm so excited for the two of you." Hailey whispered to Kim as she wrapped her in her own hug.

"Thanks." She exchanged a glance with Adam over Hailey's shoulder.

"God help us, a Ruzek spawn." Trudy exclaimed loudly and everyone laughed.

"Hey, I'm offended by that." He exclaimed over the noise in the bullpen but Voight only chuckled.

"You two and Antonio in my office, you too Trudy." The rest of the unit returned to their desks and completed their paperwork while the other five talked.

"What do you think is being said in there?" Jay asked Kevin.

"Dunno but I doubt it's all good." Kevin returned to his paperwork but his mind was really on the other side of the door with his two best friends.

"Take a seat." Voight urged both his officers as Antonio stood against the wall with his arms crossed over his chest while Trudy took to leaning against the desk, Voight next to her. Kim sat nervously and Adam slipped his fingers through hers and gave them a gentle squeeze in reassurance. "Congratulations to the two of you but now we need to talk about what comes next."

"Listen Sarge, I know that it states that a officer can't be in the field while pregnant but you can't do this to me, I need to be out there." She started, not wanting to give Voight space to sit her in a chair this precise moment.

"I'm going to stop you right there Burgess." Voight raised a hand up and he looked at Platt and Antonio who simply nodded. "I think that we can come to some kind of agreement that keeps you safe but that also let's you continue to be a cop." Kim's leg was now bouncing with a mix of excitement and nervousness, not knowing what kind of deal she could agree with.

"You will be partnered up with Antonio at all times from now on and he will be running point on your time out in the field." Kim was about to protest when he stopped her yet again. "If he judges that it is too dangerous for you, you will assist Trudy to run point on the officers out in the field.

Kim drew her bottom lip between her teeth and she looked at Adam with uncertainty in her eyes and he gave her a nod with a smile.

"Okay."

"I know this isn't exactly what you want to hear Burgess but our goal is to keep you and Ruzek junior safe." Antonio stifled a laugh as Trudy looked at Kim.

"I know." Adam was patting her knee gently. He couldn't begin to understand what was waiting for her but he was going to support her every step of the way.

"Alright, let's go get the rest of the unit up to speed." Voight, Platt and Dawson left, leaving Adam and Kim a few seconds alone.

"Hey, are you okay darling?" He turned his body on the couch to face her.

" I preferred if we didn't walk about it here." She stood up but Adam's held firmly onto her hand.

"We can talk about it later at home." He stood up and faced her. "Let's go back out there." He cupped her cheeks and kissed her forehead. They returned to the bullpen where the rest of the unit was waiting for them. Kim took a seat at her desk and started working on her paperwork, not wanting to hear her punishment for the next couple of months.

"Alright everyone listen up." Voight already had everyone's attention so he continued. "As you all know, Burgess won't be able to be on the field in the same capacity as before but I'm counting on each and every one of you to keep her safe at all times."

"You have our word." Upton said from her desk.

"I don't expect anything else from this unit." Voight agreed and returned to his office while the rest of them returned to their work.

The day was unusually quiet and Kim was already feeling like she was suffocating. She quietly stood from her chair and headed towards the break room, needing to put a bit of caffeine in her veins. She pulled her cup out of the overhead cupboard and stretched her hand towards the mug of coffee but the orange handle of the decaf one caught her eye and she hesitated.

"You don't have to entirely sacrifice your caffeine intake you know?" Kim turned around and Hailey was leaning against the doorframe with a smile on her lips.

"Lots of things going on in my head." She poured herself a cup of regular black coffee.

"Want to talk about it?"

"Not really." Kim gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm still trying to wrap my head around it." She leaned against the counter.

"That's totally valid but I'm here for you no matter what you need."

"Thanks Hailey." She received a nod in return and Hailey left her alone again.

Adam watched her from the top of his report when she stood and headed towards the break room. He was about to get up and see if she was okay when Hailey stopped him with a hand on her shoulder.

"I've got her."

"Thanks Upton." He watched her go and he exchanged a look with Kevin.

"Stop worrying so much brother, things will sort themselves out." Kevin assured him but Adam wasn't so certain. Kim had been thinking about today since finding out she was pregnant and he didn't know who was the best to support her while she struggled.

"I can't help it." He sighed, trying to concentrate on the papers in front of him. This was the part of being a cop that he hated but after working for many years with Alvin Olinsky and his dedication to it forced him to apply himself. The day wound down and still Chicago was quiet so Voight sent them home. Hailey and Jay left first, heading to Molly's for a drink and Kim was aware of Antonio slipping into his leather jacket before stopping at her desk.

"I'll see you in the morning partner." He dropped a kiss on the top of her head.

"Have a good night Antonio." She whispered to him before he left, leaving her with Adam and Kevin. "Are you ready to go Adam?" She asked after she cleared her desk.

"Not quite." He looked at her sheepishly as he lied. He was done a while ago but as the day went, his thoughts kept going to her and the way she was feeling and he knew that she needed a friend now more than she needed him so he had concocted something with Kevin while she was out of the bullpen on her last bathroom break. "Do you mind giving her a ride home Kev? I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Sure, I'll keep your baby mama company until you c one back." He chuckled, winking at Kim, finally eliciting a laugh from her.

"Alright you dork, let's get going." She shrugged her coat on. "There's some ice cream in the freezer with my name on it."

"Thanks Kev." He and Kevin exchanged their handshake and Kim leaned down to kiss him.

"See you at home babe."

"I shouldn't be too long darling." He winked at her and watched the two strut down the stairs towards the front of the district. He leaned back against his chair, his thoughts once again placed by his pregnant girlfriend and her new reality in Intelligence.

The drive was quiet all the way towards Kim and Adam's place. Kevin kept glancing Kim's way but she kept her eyes on the moving Chicago landscape. He let her unlock the door and they both went in, the two dropping their coats on the front ottoman.

"So where is that ice cream you were talking about? I'm hungry." Kevin announced.

"Make yourself at home on the couch and I'll grab two spoons." She smiled at her best friend and went to hunt for the small container of ice cream. She returned with the cookie dough flavoured desert and two spoons. "Here." She handed him one when she plopped down on the couch with him. They ate in complete silence until finally Kim talked. "I'm scared Kev." He looked down at her but didn't say a thing, waiting for her to tell him what was on her mind. "Am I being selfish by wanting to stay on the unit? For not wanting to sit behind a desk?"

"That's not being selfish Burgess." He pulled her more snug into his side. "You are a strong, intelligent and independent woman and I know how much your career means to you."

"But shouldn't this baby mean more to me than my career?"

"It ain't because you love your job that you don't love that kid too." He kissed the top of her head.

"And Adam probably hates me for putting my career above our baby."

"Hey, Burgess, don't you dare say something like that." Kevin took a deep breath before he said his next piece. "That boy loves you more than anything else in this world and this baby is the best thing that will have happened to him after you loving him but right now, he just doesn't know what to do to help you and he certainly can't understand the choice you gotta make. But one thing I do know is that he will be right next to you the whole way to the end, even if it kills him."

"You are right about that one." The two of them turned when they heard Adam's voice.

"I didn't hear you come in." She leaned her arms against the back of the couch.

"I didn't want to interrupt your moment with Kevin."

"Thanks." She smiled softly at him.

"Thanks for staying with her." Adam told Kevin gratefully.

"No problem, brother." Kevin put the empty container of ice cream of the living room table and stood. "I'll let the two of you alone." He leaned down to hug and kiss Kim and then pulled Adam into a hug. "I'll see you in the morning."

"Night Kev." He patted his chest and they were left alone. "Is there some of that left for me?" He walked around the couch and sat next to Kim.

"Sorry babe, we ate it all." She snuggled into his side and pulled her knees up to her chest.

"It's okay." He chuckled. "You needed it more than I did."

"I'm sorry I didn't come to you with this." She mumbled into his chest.

"Hey, it's all good." He assured her. "I know it won't be easy and I know that I can't even begin to understand what you're going through because I just happen to be the person that got you pregnant. I'm not the one who has to put my career on hold to be this baby's incubator for the next months but I do want you to know that you can come to me with these things because we're in this for the long haul and I will be with you through the good and the bad until we can finally see our baby. Yeah?"

"Yeah." She smiled up at him and he leaned down to kiss her. It was gentle at first but Adam cupped her cheeks and deepened the kiss, pulling her with him until they were both lying down on the couch with her in his arms. They stayed snuggled on the couch, Adam's fingers tracing circles on her barely there bump under they both fell asleep wrapped in each other, their growing baby between the two.
