Life had completely changed the last few week months.

Both parents knew that this was coming sooner or later. Their sleep time was reduced, Eddie was on maternity leave and Jamie would leave to go back to work this morning.

Spooned together, Jamie held on tight to Eddie. They haven't slept in weeks since Amelia came into the world. She would cry for everything. She would wake up almost every three hours during the night, so she could be feed, changed or even coddled.

Eddie tipped her head back against Jamie and nuzzled into his chest when she heard the gurgling coming from the crib on the side of the bed.

Eddie groaned, she careful unlinked Jamie from her side, conscious not to wake him up. She moved closer to her side of the bed to see the smiling face staring up at her.

"Good morning, good morning, good morning," she said in a soft sing-like tone which made the baby squirm around on her back.

She gently lifted the baby up from her crib and placed her laying against her chest where she continued to place her tiny fist in her mouth. "Are you hungry?" She asked, knowing she wasn't going to get a response. "Look who's all cheery today?"

She took her to her bedroom which she refused to sleep in, and feed her on the rocking chair. She continued to make little suckling sounds and she was held close to Eddie.

Jamie walked in about twenty minutes later, rubbing his eyes out of exhaustion from the baby constantly waking up. He was dressed in his uniform and ready to go.

"Hey," he said quietly as he walked over to place a kiss on her forehead. "I have work today. You gonna be okay?" He asked gently knowing how hard these last couple of weeks have been. If Amelia cried with one parent, they would pass her over to the other, so she could calm down, but without Jamie there to help her, she was on her own.

"Yeah, we should be okay. We'll figure it out." She told him as Amelia finished eating.

She passed her over to Jamie as he held her close to his chest and rocked her.

"Hi, sweet pea. Daddy's has to go to work today. You have to be good for Mommy." He said to the baby as his tapped her nose. "I love you," he said as he smothered her with kisses as the baby started to giggle.

He passed her back to Eddie and watched as she brought her back to her crib. "I don't want to leave her, or you." He said to her. "I'm going to call and check up on you while I'm at work okay?" He said to her as she walked back into the living room, which was full of baby blankets, toys, and clothes that needed to be folded.

"Jamie, please be safe out there. Don't think you're Superman okay?" She said to him in a more serious voice as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "I can't do this by myself." her eyes started to water.

He leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. "Hey, look at me," he said softly as he used his index finger to lift her chin. "Nothing's going to happen. Okay? I'll be home before you know it." He told her and used the palm of his thumb to wipe away her tears. "I love you."

"I love you more."

"I love you most." He said as he grabbed his bag and walked out the door.


"Look who's back," Renzulli said in an excited voice as he saw Jamie walk through the doors of the 1-2 precinct.

Jamie looked straight ahead as he saw Renzulli calling out from his office. "Hey Sarge," he said as he fastened his walking pace to reach his office.

"We've missed you, Reagan," the Sargent told him.

Jamie smirked, "can't say the same, been pretty occupied at home lately." He said which made Renzulli laugh.

"How are the other two Reagan's at home doing?" He asked as he sat down at his desk.

Jamie smiled thinking of the girls at home, "they're doing good. It's like Eddie's new hobby, and Amelia's is just all over her mommy." Jamie took off his cap and flipped the inside towards Renzulli to see. There was a smaller picture of Joe above it and a picture of Eddie and Amelia in their living room. Eddie was holding up Amelia is the air, while she was laying flat on her back on the carpet. The baby wouldn't stop crying and peek-a-boo didn't seem to work so well, so Eddie took the baby and held her up in the air and she seemed to calm right down.

Renzulli smiled at the pictures, "she's precious." He told him as he admired the baby. "those cheeks." He said as he saw the baby's smiling face. "speaking of which, when do I get to come visit?" He asked as Jamie put his cap back on.

"Well, we haven't gone to Family dinner in a few months, since she's been born. She was too hard to take out of the house. I'll have to talk to Eddie, but if want to come see her after tour tonight, you're welcome to stop by." he told his Sarge.

"Maybe I'll have to do just that." He said, "and hurry up, you're gonna be late for roll call." He said to Jamie.

He laughed, "all right, I'll see you later Sarge."


"Can you go to sleep for ten more minutes?" Eddie begged as Amelia continued to cry.

"C'mon, sweetie, you're tired." She said as the cries turned into wails, which broke her heart. Normally by now, she would have passed the baby to Jamie, and she would have fallen back to sleep in his arms, but Eddie's arms seemed to do no good.

"It's okay, it's okay," she told the baby as Eddie started to form tears. "You want Daddy don't you?" As soon as the word Daddy came out of her mouth, Amelia's cries seemed to calm down. "Oh sweetie," she said as she cradled the baby in her arms when the phone started to ring.

"Hello?" She asked, not even looking at the caller ID.

"Hey, it's me. How's it going? How's the baby?" Jamie asked from the other line as he could hear Amelia cries.

"Jamie, she won't stop crying. Normally I can just pass her to you, but you're not here. I say 'Dada' and her cries start to stop and then she goes at it again." She sniffled.

"Try putting it on speaker when you talk to me." He told her as she put the phone down on the bed and cradled Amelia in her arms.

"Okay," Eddie said as she clicked speakerphone on.

"Renzulli wanted to see Amelia, do you care if he comes over with me after tour?" He asked her.

Amelia's cries started to to die down, "yeah, that's fine. I was able to shower and clean the house while she napped." she said, "oh, just tell him not to come after 6:30-7, because I'm going to put her down, and I don't want her to get all fussy."

"Okay. Everything else okay though?" He asked her as he got back into the RMP.

"Yeah, she fine, she just tired and needs to sleep, but she won't." She sighed.

He started up the car, "well, I just got on my lunch break, so I'll be over in twenty minutes." He said, "I hate desk duty," he complained.

"Hey, I did it for about 6 months, you'll live for a week." She told him, "I love you,"

"Love you too." He said as he ended the call.

Eddie looked down at Amelia, "hear that sweet pea, Daddy's coming home for a little." She said as she placed a kiss on the sleeping baby's forehead.


The door to the house creaked when Jamie walked in, he didn't hear any noise coming from either of the girls.

"Eddie?" He called out softly.

He walked through the house, the living room, kitchen, bathroom, everything was empty and cleaned. He continued to walk to the bedroom and saw Eddie laying in the bed with Amelia at her side all bundled up, so she wouldn't fall off the bed asleep. Jamie sat on the edge of the bed and kissed both of them carefully so he wouldn't wake them up.

Eddie slowly started to get up and Amelia woke up because of her movements. "Hey, you're home." She said as she sat up.

Jamie grabbed the baby and held her up in his arms. "How long were you guys out?" He asked as he tickled Amelia's stomach.

"Twenty minutes? I think." She said. "She won't stay asleep for more than that. She cries when she's in the room by herself." She said as she started to tear up. "I can't do this. How does everyone make it so easy? I put her down, when cries, I hold her she cries, the only time she stopped is when you called." Eddie ranted.

"You're doing fine. You got her to fall asleep." He said as he sat next to her.

"No technically you did, when you spoke to her on the phone she passed out." She sighed. Why couldn't she do this?

She watched as Jamie made faces to Amelia and she giggled and gurgled. "I have to get back to work, my lunch break is almost up." He said to her as he carried Amelia to put his shoes on.

"Okay, I miss you when you're not home." She told him honestly.

"I'll be home by 4 with Renzulli." He said as he passed the baby over to Eddie. "Love you, girls," He said again as he walked out the door.

Eddie motioned Amelia's arm to wave goodbye to Jamie. "All right little lady, it's just you and me." she said, "and I think someone needs a diaper change, don't you." She said as she spoke to the baby playfully.


Eddie had Amelia laying down on her play blanket in the living room, while Eddie sat on her knees and did peek-a-boo. Eddie was dressed in a pair of Jeans and a black T-shirt and she dressed Amelia in a pink fuzzy onesie.

Not paying attention to any of the noises around them, Jamie and Renzulli walked into the house and saw Eddie on the floor with the baby.

"Hello," she said to Amelia as she continued to do peek-a-boo to Amelia.

"Ed, I'm home," Jamie said as he placed his keys in the bowl on the island kitchen as Renzulli walked in behind him.

She looked up and saw the two of them, "Hey Sarge," she said as she picked up the baby and walked over to Jamie to give him a kiss and then went towards Renzulli to hug him. Amelia started to make noises.

"Can you say hello?" She said playfully as she tickled the baby.

"She looks just like you guys." He said as they walked over to the living room.

Jamie grabbed a bottled water for all of them, "is that a new onesie?" He asked as he took the baby in his hands.

"I found it in the pajama drawer. It was fuzzy and warm so," she smirked.

"How's life with the little one?" Renzulli asked.

Eddie laughed, "she is certainly keeping me on my toes. You wanna hold her?" She asked.

"Of course." He said as his eyes lit up. Jamie carefully passed the baby to Renzulli. She didn't cry or squirm, she just smiled at him and giggled.

"I think she likes you better than Danny" Eddie laughed.
