Eddie and Jamie: The Wedding Planning
Secret is out
Times Square
Manhattan, New York
Despite it being one in the morning Time Square was still jumping as people celebrated the New Year, but the crowd was starting to thin out as people made their way to their hotels, homes or bars on the surrounding blocks. Yet for the police, the presence was still heavy as the 6000 plus officers remained in the area. Luckily for them it was a slow night in the square, not to many calls for them to break up anything or arrest people. There were a few but they were minor.
Jamie, his partner, Sgt. Renzulli, Eddie and Walsh were walking along the barricades doing a routine patrol of the crowd. Eddie had a smile on her face as she kept playing with her ring. Walsh nudged her with her elbow. "You keep playing with it you are going to lose it."
Eddie smiled as she put her hand down as Jamie turned slightly at Walsh's comment. "Can't help it. So beautiful."
"Just like the person wearing it." Jamie replied as they continued to walk along the barrier.
"Oh god Harvard really." Sgt. Renzulli smirked at his old boot, but he couldn't be happier for the two of them.
"Oh lay off Sarge, I think it was a beautiful thing he said." Rodriguez commented with a smirk as well as they neared a group of fellow officers who were tasked to protect a stage where a musical guest was performing.
"Thank you Taylor." Eddie remarked as her phone vibrated. She sighed at the annoyance. "That is like the hundredth time it went off."
"So what Eddie, it's probably people you know wishing you a happy New Year." Walsh commented as they continued past the stage.
"You know my phone is doing the same thing babe." Jamie commented as they arrived at the end of their circuit. They neared a portable heater to warm up for a moment. Eddie walked up next to Jamie. "Sarge is it ok…."
"Yeah go ahead. It give us a moment to warm up." Sgt. Renzulli said smiling.
Jamie returned the smile as he and Eddie pulled out their phones and began checking messages. "What the heck, this from my buddy Spencer. Says congrats on the engagement. I didn't tell him."
"Same here with my friend Mary who lives upstate." Eddie replied with some confusion. She scrolled through some more messages. "This one is from my mom. Congrats on the engagement. Tell Jamie he did an excellent job. Did you ask her permission?"
"I did before I picked out the ring, but she didn't know I was going to do it tonight, so I don't know how she found out." Jamie replied with a look of confusion on his face. He continued to scroll through the messages. "Oh oh. I found out how everybody knows."
"What?" Eddie asked as she came over and looked at Jamie's phone. "You two looked good on TV, and congrats on your engagement. Love Harold."
Jamie ran his gloved hand through his hair after he took off his hat. "Damn, if I knew…."
"Babe it doesn't matter. I love you and I thought the proposal was perfect. So everybody we know now knows we are engaged." Eddie said smiling as she took her fiancé's hand. He looked her in the eyes. "All that matters is that we are happy, and a good breakfast after this."
Jamie laughed as he gave her hands a squeeze as the group started on their next leg of their patrol. By two-thirty in the morning most of Times Square had emptied out to the point where the barriers and the cleanup crews were moving in and starting the process of getting the area back to normal. Security was still high, but for most of the officers it was making sure that the remaining party goers what few remaining didn't get to out of hand, and that the cleanup crews could work without being hassled. For Jamie, Eddie, Walsh and Rodriguez they continued to walk the area as the crews went about to unweld man-hole covers and brought in street sweepers to pick up the confetti and other things that were dropped on the ground.
"Another hour and half." Jamie remarked as they passed a group of party goers near one of the restaurants which was going to open all night long. The people were obviously drunk but peacefully besides the loud talking going on. "Folks keep it easy alright. Why don't you head home and go to sleep."
"We will be leaving soon officer don't worry." The most sober one of the bunch stated with a large smile she flashed at Jamie. She stumbled a bit. "Are you single?"
"Nope just got engaged tonight." Jamie replied with a smile as they moved on past the group.
"Oh phooey." The girl said dejectly.
Eddie and Walsh smiled as they passed the girl. One of the friends tapped the one that asked the question. "That female cop that was short that just pasted us, he is the one he proposed too."
"Why do all the handsome cops have to marry other cops?" the girl replied loudly that got her friends laughing.
"Yeah why is that Reagan?" Eddie asked laughing at the remark made by the drunk girl.
"It's because you are beautiful, smart, funny, witty, charming, endearing…." Jamie started to say but felt Rodriguez elbow him. "Ow what was that for?"
"I don't think she wanted an actual answer there Sergeant in waiting." Rodriguez replied with a laugh.
"It's ok Taylor. I loved the answers he was giving." Eddie replied as all four of them laughed as they neared the end of their circuit.
Their tour ended without any major incidents, as they arrived back at the command trailer where Sgt Renzulli complimented them on their performance as well as again congratulating both Jamie and Eddie on their engagement. He then consulted his notes one last time. "Alright our platoon has the next two days off before eight to four tour. Reagan, your ceremony is scheduled for that Wednesday after tour, but we'll let you go early so you can change and get to 1PP before us."
"Right Sarge." Jamie nodded his acknowledgement of the news.
"I'm pretty sure Janko and myself will be in attendance but I will let you know the details." Sgt. Renzulli told them as everyone assigned to their tour nodded. Sgt. Renzulli looked around. "Dismiss and have a good morning. Happy New Year."
"Sarge, don't forget…" Jamie started to say.
"I haven't forgotten Reagan. Arrive a little early and we'll discuss your paperwork and transfer." Sgt. Renzulli replied with a smile on his face. He shook Jamie's hand again. "Go enjoy your first day of the new year with your fiancé you knucklehead."
Jamie smiled and nodded and raced to catch up to Eddie who was waiting for him by the bus that had brought them down to Times Square. They were the last ones to board the bus since Sgt. Renzulli would catch a ride back to the precinct with the Lieutenant who had brought his RMP down to area per orders. Both Eddie and Jamie settled in for the short ride back to the precinct. From there they would quickly grab what stuff they had in their lockers before heading home. Eddie smiled as she laced her fingers through Jamie's and admired the ring on her hand as she laid her head on his shoulder. "Thank you for a beautiful New Year's."
Jamie chuckled. "Despite the fact we worked."
Eddie chuckled as well. "Yep."
"In that case babe you are welcome." Jamie replied as the bus pulled out and started its trek back to the precinct as Eddie remained perfectly comfortable in the position she was in.
Half an hour later, Jamie and Eddie with their off duty clothes on and bags in hand climbed into Jamie's mustang for the trip back to their apartment over in the East Village. At a light in which they were waiting for it to change, Eddie checked her phone again. "Damn your family knows. Erin texted me and you. "What date did you guys choose?""
"Oh my god Erin really." Jamie groaned as he watched the light. He felt the stare from Eddie so he quickly turned his head. "She's worried that this may drag out like the last time with…."
"Oh right Sydney." Eddie said cutting him off. Jamie had told her everything about his relationship with his ex-fiancé at the beginning. As Jamie began to drive again after the light changed, Eddie looked out the window. Then a thought hit her. "How about this? What if today we make up a checklist of things we need to do and have a meeting between your dad and my mom to start the process?"
Jamie tossed her a quick look as he drove through the streets near their apartment. He slowed down and stopped at a stop sign. He looked at Eddie and smiled. "That sounds like a plan. Number one should be date and location so everyone can get off our backs about that one."
"Agreed. After we wake up we'll get started and consult the internet on what to do." Eddie said smiling as Jamie pulled up in front of their building that had an empty parking space in front of it for a change. "We'll consult friends and family but only for small advice."
"I agree on that one babe." Jamie remarked as they climbed out of the car, grabbing their bags and heading inside. As they waited on the elevator Jamie put his arm around her. "How about this too? What if we get the wedding party list finalized today so we can let people know."
"I like that, so date, location and wedding party top the list." Eddie replied as the doors opened. The walked in as Jamie pressed their floor. Eddie smiled as Jamie stifled a yawn. "You know Reagan you're pretty sexy for a guy who just worked an overnight shift and proposed to me."
Jamie smiled and turned to his fiancé. "In that case, Janko, how about I race you to show you how sexy you look after working an overnight shift and accepting my proposal?"
"Sure, but might want to tie your shoe first." Eddie said with a smile. This caused Jamie to look down and Eddie to run off the elevator. Jamie smiled and raced after her. He caught her as she opened their door. With his free hand he closed the door while the other picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. It was a good start to the New Year.
