December 6th, 2018. Our baby was almost one month old. We named her Isabelle River Ruzek. She's beautiful, has Adam's eyes, and my ears. I was so in love, Adam was too. He'd been in a constant good mood since we had her. There was a slight complication during birth that caused me to need a c-section, and while he was scared to death, he never left my side.
While this month was amazing, it was also shaping up to be one of the most stressful in both of our lives. Last month, Adam's sister was pulled over and charged with DUI, and normally that would be the end of it. But she happened to have her son with her in the car. This was not good, obviously. Adam made it go away, much to my disdain. But a 'white suite' (someone from internal affairs) found out, and he was coming down on him, hard. I was panicked. Adam could go to jail, for years, for falsifying police records. I was pissed.
One day, he came home and told me that he had a solution. "If I find dirt on Voight.. then it'll be okay," he said.
"What?! Hank is being used as a pawn for your dumbass sister?!"
"Yeah.. I know.."
"Adam. Cmon! You can't do that to him!"
"REGAN! YOU THINK I WANT TO?! He's my family.."
"Then WHY ARE YOU EVEN THINKING ABOUT IT?!" It was our first major fight, and I hated it. I started to cry, and Isabelle woke up.
"It's fine babe.. I got her. I'm sorry, please don't cry." He apologized as he went to get her. He walked back to the living room carefully rocking our daughter.
"It's not you babe. Postpartum," I chuckled. "I do hate that we're fighting though.."
He walked over and kissed my forehead before he went to change Isabelle, "I love you. I'm sorry. This is just very stressful for me."
"I love you too, Adam. I know it is.. but don't leave me out of it. We can't lose you to jail, and you love being part of intelligence! Your sister fucked up.. I'm sorry, but she did.. not you, you can fix that you ever fixed it for her. But you can't keel it a secret forever. Just please think carefully about your decision." I kissed him on the cheek.
"I am babe, trust me. I'll see you at lunch!" He kissed me, then gently kissed Izzy.
"I love you.. Just be careful Adam," I said as I kissed him back.
"Love you more. I will. I'll be back," he blew us a kiss and left for work. I took a deep breath, and put Izzy back down for her nap.
