Chapter 1:
Officer Jamie Reagan and his partner, Edit ("Eddie") Janko were called into Sgt. Renzulli's office.
"Sarge, what can we do for ya?" asked Jamie. "Take a seat," Renzulli replied, pulling the blinds. "It's come to my attention that there is a certain...shall we say 'chemistry' between you two." And before Jamie could respond or Janko could wipe the surprised look off her face, Renzulli quickly put them at ease. "Relax. You two aren't in trouble. In fact, the department has an assignment for you."
Jamie grinned and Janko raised her eyebrow.
Eddie sighed as she sat with Kara. "I can't believe this. For two whole months, I have to pretend that I'm married to Reagan. And not only that, I have to waddle around like I'm his pregnant housewife. He's going to eat this up." And just as if he were on cue, Jamie walked by. "Hey sweetheart, you're putting the roast in the oven in an hour, right?" He playfully kissed her cheek and walked away. Kara stifled a laugh. "Girl, do you know how many women would give an arm to marry Jamie Reagan or at least spend a night with him? Enjoy it!"
Danny's partner Baez sauntered into the bathroom, with Kara and Eddie following suit. "I mean, what do I even wear? Am I expected to sleep with him? I know the house will be under surveillance by the Gambino family." Baez raised an eyebrow. "Sarge put you two undercover? Looks like Danny will finally have fifty more dollars in his pocket." Eddie rolled her eyes and washed her hands. Kara laughed. "Damn, I think I'm losing that bet."
"What bet?" asked Eddie. Baez looked at Eddie, stunned. "You didn't know? Man, you two are as clueless as two horny teenagers in a movie theatre." Eddie laughed, still confused. "Oh God. Everyone knew you two were bound to get together. Danny had fifty bucks on two years, I had four years, Baez here had two and a half years. Even Sarge had three years after a promotion, but it looks like he's losing," replied Kara. Eddie smirked. She knew her partner was hot stuff, with chisled abs and a body to die for. But there was more to their attraction. He was kind, protective, sweet, caring, and a good man. Qualities almost impossible to find in the Big Apple.
Ultimately, he was the best guy she had ever met. Eddie didn't want to screw this one up. Besides, she didn't even know if he liked her that way. The only inklings of hope she had were the kiss that left her weak in the knees and unable to sleep for a week, that night he stayed over after her first kill, when he decked the perp that pushed her...Ok, so there were more moments. And she hoped that Jamison Reagan reciprocated, because like it or not, they were going to be Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Lombardi for the next two to four months. And there were certain priveleges that came with married life.
"Hey Harvard." Danny smirked as he walked toward his brother in the locker room. Jamie rolled his eyes. "So you heard, huh?" Danny laughed. His brother was as readable as a Kindle. "You get to shack up with Janko, no punishment, Sarge playing matchmaker. There's no way this can go wrong." Danny wouldn't wipe the grin off his face. Jamie stopped laughing and looked thoughtful for a second. "Danny, I really do care about her. She's more than a hot girl. She's bossy, eats too much, burps like a dude, handles herself, kisses like a dream-" Before Jamie could finish, Danny exclaimed "Whoa, whoa, whoa. When did this lip action happen? Last month?" Jamie blushed. "No, like a year and a half ago." Danny slapped his brother on the back, congratulating him. But then he got up and hugged his brother. "Danny, I really care about her. She's beyond gorgeous, drives me out of my mind, and makes me know that the best thing that ever happened to me wasn't Sydney. And I'm not letting Eddie go. She's perfect."
Danny smiled at his brother, rolling his eyes. "Joe woulda liked her."
Jamie nervously looked down at his hands. "Should I bring her to family dinner on Sunday?" Danny chuckled. "Oh, this I gotta see. Go for it, Golden Boy. At least you'll finally make Erin happy." Jamie looked confused. Danny explained that Erin had always known there was something between Eddie and Jamie.
"Well, that's one thing about Erin that we love. She usually has a good intuition about those things."
Jamie cleaned out his locker and waited for Eddie. "Hey, so do you want to swing by your place later and grab your stuff, I'll grab mine and we can move in to La Casa de Lombardi tonight? I'll bring the beer!" Eddie rolled her eyes as she took her hair out of its bun. "Look Reagan, some of the girls put together a bachlorette party for Monday night...it's my last night alone, as a single woman for the forseeable future. Baez, Linda, Kara, and even Erin offered to swing by." Jamie thought for a moment. "Why don't we just hang out at the bar with a few beers? I'll even bring you a ring, so we can start living this engagement and marriage thing up. Then on Sunday night, you can even meet the family." Eddie laughed and touched his shoulder tentatively. "Well why don't you put a ring on it, Reagan? It's about time." Jamie smiled softly. "I have a claddaugh ring that my mother gave me before she passed away. Since we're friends first and foremost, I'd still like you to have it. For good." Eddie smiled and teared up. "What is it, Janko? I thought you only cried during Remember the Titans."
He remembered.
