Jamie's love story
Jamie's pov
( A/N: I will be bringing some OC's and some things will NOT go hand in hand with the series. Please no flames over that. Constructive criticism is welcome)
I had graduated from the police academy a few years ago; alongside my wife; who was only my fiancee at the time; Maria Romano; now Romano Reagan; and she had been the only cadet to graduate from the police academy with a sharp shooting medal. Previously, I had graduated from Harvard with a Law degree, but decided I wanted in on the Reagan family business.
My grandfather Henry had been a cop and a Police Commissioner, my Dad Frank had been a cop and was the current PC, my brother Joe was a cop killed in the line of duty; my brother Danny was a first grade police detective... the only Reagan to be in law enforcement, but as a DA, was my older sister Erin, who served as a prosecutor. A few months after being on the streets as rookie cops, Maria and I were wed, with her parents in attendance; along with my family;which at the time meant Grandpa, Dad,and my siblings; now also consisted of Erin's daughter Nicky; whose father Jack Boyle had died not long after Joe; Linda, Danny's wife and a nurse; and their two boys, Sean and Jack. Despite the uneasy parents, all the kids in the Reagan clan showed interest in following in their parents and forefathers footsteps and going into law enforcement, especially my son.
FLASHBACK
In the few years in between Erin becoming a mom and Danny a dad; Maria came up to me one day when we were both off duty, wrapping her arms around my shoulder "Hey, Jamie." I smiled and kissed her "Hey,what 's in your hand?" the question was referring to a small box she held partially hidden, but purposefully visible; and she simply handed it to me, a radiant grin on her face as I opened it, then gasped upon seeing dozens of positive pregnancy tests. We had been told she was practically barren, with extremely low, one-in-a-trillion chances of ever having a child; so this had us over the moon. We both were crying tears of joy and I whispered, hand instinctively resting on her stomach "I can't believe it..." she smiled "Me neither." We kissed, deciding to wait two days to tell Grandpa, Dad, Danny, Linda, Erin and little Nicky at the Reagan Sunday dinner. I was so excited!
Once we had all taken our seats and said grace, Grandpa Henry spoke up "Jamie, you said you and Maria had some news?" I took my wife's hand in mine, and beaming, we exclaimed "We're expecting!"
The entire family congratulated us, extremely happy with the unexpected news; even Nicky, only two years old, squealed in delight. A few months later, Maria had to be rushed to surgery because our little troublemaker had gotten the umbilical cord wrapped twice around his neck; so, 2 and a half weeks before his actual due date; Reese Romano Reagan was born; weighing 6lbs 3oz and he was 21 inches long. The entire family was overjoyed.
END OF FLASHBACK
Maria came up to me, hugging me from behind, and whispered "What are you thinking about, honey?" I kissed her and replied "Just our perfect life and our amazing son. Thinking about eleven years ago, on this very day. When I first held him... And everything that led up to that moment." we kissed again and my wife smiled "Me too. Let's go wake our sleepyhead up and wish him a happy birthday."
I nodded and followed her to the room where quiet breaths could be heard as opposed to loud snores, indicating our sleepyhead son was, indeed, still in a state of deep slumber. Typical. After a few minutes of trying, we got him to wake up and smiled "Happy birthday, Reese." he grinned, sleep still evident in every feature of his face "Thanks Mom, thanks Dad."
In perfect, yet accidental unison, we spoke in a three-part harmony "I love you." then we burst out laughing and headed over to my Dad's house for the party.
RECAP
1) Reese is Jamie and Maria's son and the main character. Jamie was never engaged to Sydney, nor will she appear in this
2) The story takes place in the present and is ongoing, with the exception of that flashback which I tried to make it well marked. Age was a bit tough to place, so, please bear with me on that
3) I decided to have Joe already be dead, meaning Nicky was only a toddler and not a teen/preteen like in the cannon. I also opted for Jack Boyle to be deceased over divorced by my own creative license. Also for the purpose of this story, Jackie will be Danny's only partner.
I think that's all, guys; I gave you the heads up to avoid unnecessary confusion and/or flames. R&R and I hope you guys have a great day!
