CHAPTER FOUR
bad boys

Jay is in the kitchen, pouring himself a cup of coffee when Wyatt walks in and sits at the island and says, "Jay"

"Yeah" the detective says, turning around to face his step son, "What's up?"

"I need to talk to you about something...it's about a friend...who's a girl"

Jay smirks and says, "So, you like her?"

"I think so, but I don't know what to do"

"Just be yourself. If she likes you too, for you, then that's how you know she's worth it"

"Like you and mom?"

"Yup. We've had our problems, but we've always been able to get through them"

"Thanks Jay" Wyatt says, as Denise walks in with anger written all over her face as she walks to the fridge to get a water.

"Dee, you good?" Jay questions. Denise slams the fridge shut and says, "Perfect" then she walks away.

Jay and Wyatt look at each other.

Sam and Gracie sit at a table at a diner near the house, when Adam walks in and sits across from them. Gracie immediately smiles and puts her arms up, indicating she wanted to get up.

Sam takes her daughter from her high chair and sets her down. Gracie walks over to Adam, who picks her up and sets her on his lap and says, "Hi bumble bee" then kisses the top of her head.

Sam smiles and says, "I swear she likes you more than me"

"What can I say. I just have that effect" Adam says, making the detective roll her eyes, "how's Jay doing?"

"Last night was difficult. But we got through it"

"And everything else?"

"We've been trying to work on things, right. We've been going to therapy and I think that's really helping. I just don't know, maybe it's me" Sam sighs, taking a sip of her coffee. Adam rests his hand on top of Sam's and says, "Listen to me, Jay is incredibly lucky to have you. I wish I had somebody like you"

"Thanks Ruz. And um, you did have someone like me. Her name is Kim"

Ruzek playfully scoffs and says, "Right"
