65Disclaimer: I own nothing except my imagination.
A/N: So here is yet ANOTHER Burzek story. Since it seems I CANNOT stop myself from writing because I just love them, I decided to write a collection of moments that they shared together that we never got to see or that I'll love imagining Hope you guys will live them.
The moment Allison Louise Ruzek came into the world, her parents had fallen madly in love with her. Kim didn't think she could love someone more than she loved her husband but the little soul they had created together had proved her wrong. As for Adam, he was in awe of the woman he got to call his wife as she offered all her strength to give him the best present a man could ask for. Adam watched as Kim slept, their tiny daughter asleep in the crib next to her bed. She came three weeks earlier than planned at 5 pounds 11 ounces, 20 inches long and she was perfect. Her head was full of Kim's dark locks and her eyes a dark blue, Adam wondering what shade they would take. Her tiny fingers and toes were just about perfect and Adam was wrapped around her little finger. Her cries startled Kim awake, her new mother's instinct kicking in.
"Shh, it's ok Allie, I got you." Adam took her gently from the crib and made his way to the side of Kim's bed.
"She must be hungry." Kim sat up in the hospital bed and Adam waited for her to be settled before giving her their daughter.
"How'd you sleep?" He watched her as she positioned Allison to be able to nurse her.
"Real good." She smiled at him.
"I love you." He simply said as he watched his two favourite girls
"We love you too." She winked at him, a smile spread across her lips. "You should head home to sleep." Kim insisted.
"And miss a second with my two favourite girls? No way." He smiled at her.
"At least take a few hours to go home and take a shower, grab me some of my things?" They had left a little bit before midnight and although the labour hadn't been long, the only thing packed were a few essentials for their daughter.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yeah, we're good." The clock said seven and the sun was barely up but Kim felt alive.
"I'll make it quick I promise."
"We'll be waiting." She smiled at him. He leaned down and kissed her lips, running his fingers against their daughter's head before he left.
Kim found peace in watching her daughter feed, her warmth against her skin bringing tears to her eyes. She never thought she had enough love in her but her heart swelled three times over just watching her. She burped her and she settled Allison back in her crib and pulled it closer to her bed and watched her as she fell back asleep. She ran her fingers against her little frame, in total awe. Her daughter was only a few hours old and she knew she would protect her with everything she had.
"Look who I found." Adam poked his head through the door, Kevin Atwater at his side.
"Kevin." Her smile became like a hundred watt smile.
"I heard you had a mini Burgess a few hours back." He leaned down to hug her.
"Meet Allison Louise Ruzek." Kim scooped her up gently and placed her in her strong uncle Kevin's arms, Adam winking at her.
"She so small."
"She's going to need a protector then." Adam took a seat next to Kim on the bed, watching as his best friend fell in love with their daughter as much as they had.
"What you saying?"
"We want you to be Allie's godfather."
"Stop playin." His smile gave Adam and Kim all the answer they needed.
"You've been the one constant in our lives and we couldn't choose a better person to have our daughter's six." Adam pulled Kim into his side.
"I got you baby girl." Kevin spent some quality time with his goddaughter, Adam and Kim enjoying the view of their best friend. Kim fell asleep against Adam and Allie still slept in Kevin's arms.
"You did good bro."
"We did amazing man. I never thought I'd feel this level of love but damn, this is more than I could ever hope for. Kim did great in there and Allie, she's the best man."
"You won the jackpot."
"Damn straight. They're the best thing that ever happened to me."
"Amen to that." Allie suddenly started wailing at the top of her small lungs, surprising Kevin. "Damn she's got some powerful pipes on her."
"Just like her mom." Adam chuckled as he pulled away from Kim slowly, taking Allie from Kevin.
"But sometimes mom can sleep through an earthquake." Kevin had witnessed time and time again when they were on the beat together a very hard to wake Burgess considering she lived in a noisy neighbourhood before moving in with Adam.
"But it's all good, she was amazing in there, she deserves some rest." Kevin watched his best friend change his daughter's diaper like a pro and he settled in the rocking chair, his eyes glued to her. "I need to let her rest a bit before the rest of 21st comes barreling in."
"Specially knowing that Platt got the news, the whole with of Chicago will know."
"Sir." Adam looked up as one of the nurses leaned against the doorframe. "The waiting room is starting to fill up?" Adam knew what that meant and he smiled at her.
"Tell them I'll be out in a minute." She nodded and left the room.
"Looks like the pack of wolves is here." Adam chuckled. "Come get me when she wakes up?"
"Will do." Kevin took the chair Adam vacated and Adam went to introduce his daughter that was now his world to the rest of her family. She was swaddled in a pink blanket and as soon as Adam showed his face, the whole Intelligence Unit along with his dad, Kim's sister Nicole and her niece Zoe, her mom Carol and a few of their friends from 51 were there to congratulate them.
"I'd like you to meet Allison Louise Ruzek." Nicole and Hailey were the first to pounce on him, the two women gushing over how beautiful she was and nothing like her father, making everyone else in the room laugh.
"She's beautiful Adam." Nicole took a hold of her little foot through the blanket. "You guys did good."
"Your sister did all the work." Adam saw Kevin in his peripheral vision and he turned to look at him.
"Burgess is awake and she wants you to get her in here." Adam nodded and returned his attention to Nicole.
"Come on, that means you." Nicole's smile was as beautiful as Kim's and Adam put Allie in her arms before they both returned to Kim's room, Kevin leaving them alone.
"Hey." Nicole hugged Kim, Allie still tucked in her arms.
"So how do you like her?" Kim exchanged a look with Adam as Nicole took a seat on the side of her bed.
"She's amazing. Congrats little sis."
"Thanks." She smiled at Adam, Nicole's attention solely on her niece. "She's amazing like her aunt Nicole who we also want her to be her godmother." Adam winked at her as they waited for Nicole's reaction that didn't wait.
"Really?" Her eyes were filling with tears. "I'd be honoured."
"You are the strongest person I know and we wanted our daughter to have a strong presence, someone who could guide her and be there for her no matter what." Kim's eyes filled with tears too. She had gotten closer with her sister since that fateful night when she had been attacked and she couldn't think of anyone better to be in her daughter's life like that.
"And I'll do my very best, I promise." She squeezed Kim's leg under the blanket.
"Do you think you can share her a little bit?" Kim knew that Nicole had fallen insanely in love with her goddaughter and she couldn't blame her but there was a whole other family that wanted to meet her.
"I think I can do that." Nicole handed her back to Kim as Adam ushered the rest of the group inside the room.
Carol and Robert were the first to come in, Allie's only real grand parents who were instantly smitten with her. Carol couldn't believe she was lucky enough to have another grand daughter and Robert was thankful for a new start in his son's life. Next came Platt and Voight. Both Adam and Kim knew that under those hard exteriors were two real teddy bears and they were both happy to play honorary grand parents, this being the first Intelligence baby to ever see the day. Antonio did a quick in and out, congratulating them both, wishing them all the luck in the world and to tell them to cherish every second because time went by entirely too fast. Then Hailey and Jay came in last. Hailey gushed over baby Allie, rocking her slowly while Jay hugged both Adam and Kim.
"She's beautiful, just like her mom." Jay winked at Kim, earning a slap from Adam.
"That was for the insult but I will agree with you on that one." He chuckled.
"Come on Hailey, we should let them rest." Jay had noticed Kim's eyes fluttering closed.
"Just a few more minutes." She couldn't keep her eyes off the little girl.
"We've got the rest of her life to spoil her, come on." Jay laughed as he watched the girl he loved cradle the infant, the biggest smile he had seen on her lips. She reluctantly gave Allie back to her dad and she hugged them both before taking her leave with Jay.
"We have the best family." Kim smiled as she watched her husband with their daughter. A nurse came to bring a vase filled with beautiful flowers. Kim stood and took the card and read it.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there to witness this beautiful moment but I know that she will kick ass in this world like her strong parents will teach her too.
Love
Erin
"And they all came." She smiled as she handed the card to Adam. This was the first time that they had gotten news from her since she left but they had a feeling that she wouldn't be too far away if they ever needed her.
Adam sat in the rocking chair later that night, Allie tucked into his arms, Kim asleep next to them. He enjoyed the quiet moment after their whole family had come by and he couldn't take his eyes off of her.
"When your mom told me she was pregnant with you, I never thought I had been happier in my life. When I heard the first sounds of your heartbeat, I already knew that mine was beating for yours and your mom, she had mine from the first moments I laid eyes on her. She's strong and passionate and she loves with all her heart. She loved me when maybe I didn't deserve to be loved but because she was so forgiving, she gave me the very best gift I could ask for today. I'll protect you with everything I have in me and I'll do it until I take my very last breath."
"We love you too." Adam was surprised to hear Kim's voice but he looked at her and she had tears pooling in her eyes. "My heart never belonged to anyone else and it never will again." She smiled at him through her tears. He stood with their daughter and joined her on the bed. The new family of three finished their evening in comfortable silence, counting their blessings and looking forward to a whole new life.
