It had been two weeks since Eddie had come to Jamie's apartment to apologize for being jealous of Tara, which ended in them both revealing they had feelings for each as well as her kissing him. Jamie had made it clear that going down this road again would only cloud their judgement, to which Eddie agreed. After walking on egg shells with each other the next day on the job, the pair quickly returned to their normal behavior.

Ever since that night Eddie came over though, Jamie had been weighing the pros and cons of being partners with her more and more. Maybe Eddie reveling how she felt was a sign that they should give it a shot. But ending their partnership was still something Jamie didn't think he could handle. He continued to think about it every day, slowly trying to reach a decision.

After tour that day, Eddie and Jamie decided to go to the cop bar they always went to. Lately, Jamie had been leanaing towards telling Eddie that they should get new partners to see if they could work out as couple, but he wasn't quite ready to yet.

Due to the extra nervousness he felt because of his feelings, Jamie didn't realize exactly how much he had been drinking. Eddie, who was keeping up with her partner while he just kept ordering beers, quickly lost count of how many she had had as well.

Knowing that they both had the day off tomorow, Jamie didn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon.

"Reagannnnn" Eddie slurred in a a high pitch voice, "Don't you think we should uh, slow down?"

Jamie tried to look Eddie in the eye but had trouble focusing his vison. Upon realizing just how drunk he was, he nodded slowly.

"Good looking out, Janko" he mummered while tossing the rest of his beer down his throat

"Stop!" Eddie said, playfully hitting his arm as he finished his drink. "I just said we've both had too much!"

"Alright, alright! I'm done. Just wanted to finish my drink. And I see you have eaten all my leftover fries already so it looks like we are done here."

"Over and out, let's go" Eddie said as she stood up wobbly and pushed her chair in.

Jamie noticed her wobble and caught up to her.

"I'll walk you back to make sure you don't twist your ankle and end up in ditch passed out" Jamie yelled over the music and loud chatter as they made their way out of the bar.

"Always ready to save the day, Officer Reagan" Eddie said rolling her eyes sarcastically

"Yeah Yeah" Jamie smiled as they pushed their way out of the bar and made it to the sidewalk.

"Your boots have a heel on them, I don't know why you would wear those if you were going to drink that much. You're gonna fall!" He teased her to get a rise out of her.

"I wouldn't be this drunk if you had slowed down! What's your deal tonight, you acted like they would run out of beer."

"Just felt like drinking" Jamie shrugged. Whatever nervousness he felt before was gone, the butterflies in his stomach were now replaced with cheap beer and a half order of fries.

"I wouldn't have gotten that drunk if you hadn't eaten half my fries!" Jamie teased her again.

"You should know by now that if you don't eat fast, Reagan, I'll eat it! If you're that upset about the fries, I have some frozen ones I can heat up for you upstairs so relax."

Jamie's stomach dropped a little. He had been in Eddie's apartment plenty of times, he had even spent the night there after she shot someone, but after all that had been happening lately, he wasn't sure what to do.

"Come on" Eddie said, dragging him inside. "I'm making fries so I don't have to listen to you on our next tour complain about how I ate all your fries."

He reluctantly followed her upstairs.

Jamie plopped on her sofa and turned on ESPN.

"Oh, turn it up so I can hear it!" Eddie hollered from the kitchen

Jamie smiled, he loved that she wanted to ESPN with him.

A few minutes later, she came back holding two bowls.

"Here I already split them up so I don't eat them all"

Jamie flicked a fry at her. She picked it up from her lap, ate it, and then smirked at him.

"Appreciate it, Partner."

"Anything for you, Partner!" She slurred slightly while giggling.

Hearing them struggling to talk reminded Jamie just how much they drank, and how tired he was quickly becoming.

He glanced at Eddie. She was curled up in the chair next to the couch he was on. Her blonde hair was cascading around shoulders. She was cradling the empty bowl that once held fries, her breathing had slowed down and her eyes were shut.

Jamie contemplated if he should sneak out quietly to not wake her. Before he could even decide, he too fell asleep on the couch.

Around 4 AM, all the beers Jamie had drunk decided that they did not agree with him. After emptying the contents of his stomach in the bathroom, he came back to Eddie's living room to find her still asleep. Not feeling well enough to walk home, or sober enough to drive home, he decided to crash back on the couch. First though, he would move Eddie to her bed. He knew she would wake up in tons of pain if she kept sleeping in that chair.

He scooped her up and laid her down softly on her bad. He found a blanket on the ground and spread it across her. Jamie turned to leave the room when Eddie stirred.

"Come back" she murmured.

"Are you going to be sick?" Jamie whispered

"No, lay down" she patted the empty space next to her.

Too groggy to think, Jamie laid down next to her. He quickly justified it in his head by saying he would stay as far away as possible.

They both quickly passed back out in Eddie's bed, laying on complete opposite sides.

That was my first try ever at this, so don't be too harsh! I have the next few chapters planned and will update quickly, let me know what you think so far!
