Hi! I do not own 'Blue Bloods', I just love the character and the show a lot and I like to play with them from time to time. Please enjoy!

The night was cool like all night's were in New York City as Jamie and Eddie strolled back to her place after efficiently wiping out the buffet that they had went to cool off after a long few days.

"What was it that you had?" Jamie asked with a big smile as he looked down at his pretty blonde partner. "Like, six plates of just one type of food?"

Eddie rolled her eyes and nudged him with her elbow as she tried not to smile. "Maybe five." She quipped, smirking over at Jamie who just laughed. "Hey, stop making fun if me, Reagan!" She called, laughing a bit herself.

"Nah, don't worry about it. I like a girl with an appetite." He smiled down at her as he softly bumped the side of her body with his.

She just rolled her eyes at him then began to watch her feet as they neared her apartment building.

Eddie didn't want to admit it, but she was kinda scared to be alone in her apartment. In her mind, she knew that the man who raped her was in jail and that she was perfectly safe. She knew this and she wasn't scared of him, even if he hadn't been put in jail. Sure there was a bit of fear for him - he had assaulted her. But, Eddie was more scared of being alone with her thoughts than anything else.

"Hey, you okay?" Jamie asked, his crystal blue eyes washing over her face.

Eddie forced a small smile before nodding at him. "Yeah, Reagan. I'm okay." She told him as she began to climb the stairs to the front door to the lobby - if you will - of her apartment building.

Jamie stood at the bottom of the steps for a bit, watching her. He knew that she wasn't okay. Who would be after going through what she had only two days ago? Jamie decided then and there that Edit 'Eddie' Janko was one tough rookie cookie. Sometimes though - like now when she needed to let her emotions out and just talk so she could get past this - that wasn't all that of a good thing.

He quickly climbed the stairs after her, catching her before she walked in.

"Whadda ya want, Reagan, a goodnight kiss?" Eddie joked, humor in her voice but none in her expression as she looked up at him.

A small nervous laughed escaped his mouth as he shook his head. "No, I just thought I'd walk you up. It's the least I could do. And besides, you are my partner, after all."

A small smile graced her pink lips and she slowly nodded. "Okay."

Jamie and Eddie where quiet as they trailed up the stairs to her apartment due to the fact that both of them were thinking pretty hard about what was going to happen next.

Eddie was wondering what she would do if he wanted to come in or if he wanted to leave. She wasn't sure that she wanted either one. And Jamie...well, he was just thinking about all the possible things that he could do to help her get through this and feel better.

"So, listen.." Jamie starts as they stop in front of her apartment door. She turns to face him, having an idea about what he's going to say to her. "If you need anything, like if you need to talk or anything, you can just call me, okay? Anytime. I'll be there."

A tired smile stretched across Eddie's lips as her blue eyes looked up into his. "Thank you, Jamie." She whispered, barely audible. "I - I will."

He nodded. "Good." He turned to walk away.

Eddie watched her partner's retreating figure before her eyes trailed to her door. She didn't really want to go behind it, but she knew she'd eventually have to.

"Hey, Eddie?" Jamie's voice boomed from the stairs.

"Yes?" She asked, her attention snapping back to him quickly.

"I'm - I'm proud of you, partner. You did a good job today..ya know, you stuck it through even when you thought you couldn't. You kept your cool."

Eddie laughed dryly. "I wouldn't have been able to keep my cool if it wasn't for you. You kept me from attacking him, remember?" A small smile tugged at one of the corners of her lip but it didn't go through.

"Well, I guess we kinda need each other then, right?" Jamie asked, the same 'not quite there' smile present on his face.

Eddie nodded. "Yeah, I guess we kinda do."

They shared a quiet moment and a small smile before Jamie speaks again. "I'll see ya tomorrow, Janko."

"Bright and early, Reagan." Eddie smiles after him as he slowly makes his way to the stairs again.

"Bright and early." He repeats with a smile as he disappears down the stairs, his dark blonde hair the last ting she sees before she unlocks the door and slowly enters her apartment.
