A Sequel to 'Strong Enough' based on the alternate ending of that story

Chapter 11

He lifted his hand, "Hi Twudy"

Trudy smiled, "I like you a lot more than I like your daddy"

"Trudy, get on with it" Hank told her.

She cut her eyes at him, "Alright, Adam and Kim have no idea any of this is happening obviously you all know that. Roman, I hope you kept that mouth of yours shut" she wagged her finger at him ignoring his eye roll, "Severhoe, oops I mean Severide, I assume you'll be in control of the boot"

Severide smirked, "Of course"

"Good we need a pretty face to get these soccer moms to drop a little cash" she checked off a few items on her checklist, "I don't want anyone over the age of 18 walking out without filling one of these out and leaving with a kit" she held the forms up, "We have representatives from Be The Match here, please let them do the talking. Don't need the city of Chicago being sued because of one of your dumbasses."

Al joined them, "Ruzek's brother and sister in law are here"

Trudy checked her cell, "Alright, I've got a text from Kim they are on their way" she paused a minute, "Listen, I know I'm a complete pain in the ass on a good day, that I may have been a little extreme these last few days" she gripped the clipboard in her hand in hopes it would keep her from crying, "It's just little Adam is such a special boy and I want to do all I can to help him"

"It's okay, Trudy" Erin told her, one of the few who was allowed to call her by her first name, "We get it, we love them too"

Trudy laughed, "By them I assume you mean Kim, little Adam, and Dani, right? Because Special Sauce is on his own. No love here for that man, none at all"

Al grinned, "I think the lady doth protest too much"

Trudy glared at him, "Shut up Olinsky, it's your fault you know, if you hadn't pulled his cocky ass from the academy I wouldn't have had to put up with his shit"

"Dad, Adam and Kim just pulled in Molly's parking lot" Lexi told Al.

"Alright everyone, here we go. The guest of honor has arrived"

"What the hell is this?" Adam asked as he struggled to find a parking spot.

Kim ran her hand down his thigh, "It's crazy, it looks like some kind of fair or something" she remarked seeing the balloons and inflatables.

Dani smiled, "I wanna go in the castle, please Mommy!" She begged.

"We can't, were having lunch and then the aquarium remember?"

Dani began to pout, little Adam watched as her big brown eyes filled with tears, "Can't we just play for a little bit?" One thing he had learned is no one could tell the kid who had cancer no.

Especially his mother.

"Alright" Kim smiled, Adam finally having parked the car.

Both kids out in a flash, "Later Mom!" Adam called as he took Dani's hand in his and ran towards Molly's.

"Hey!" Kim started to go after them, Adam grabbed her hand.
