Jamie inhaled taken back by the kiss but the shock was quickly replaced by desire. Returning the kiss Jamie rested his hands on her hips gently, eyes closed to keep the moment going, to keep them together.
The feel of Eddie's lips fighting against his, her thin body moving against him made everything seem right. He'd almost forgotten what just happened between Eddie and Sam just wanted to keep her in his arms.
Eddie pulled back first laying across his lap so her head rested against his arm. Unable to keep the smile of his face Jamie kissed her softly having to ask the question that was bothering him. "Eddie, you and Sam.."
Eddie knew what he was going to ask even before he finished. "Yeah I did love him Jamie, but not like I do for you. I know it sounds weird but.." Tears rolled down her face again, ending the conversation replaced by Jamie cradling Eddie against him holding her tight until she fell asleep.
Hearing her soft breathing Jamie carried her into the bedroom fire fighter style against his bare chest and set her on the bed so he could climb in. When Jamie looked back over he was met with Eddie's blue eyes.
"Thought you were sleeping," he smiled.
"I know." Eddie sighed laying against him, her eyes achy and red brimmed from crying. "Jamie,"
Jamie responded with a light shush and kissed her head before she could finish. "I know what your going to say so don't go there. Just forget him and rest it's his loss."
So Eddie rested against Jamie comforted and protected in his strong arms falling into a deep sleep.
For the next few weeks Jamie spent all his free time with Eddie comforting her as best he could. Jamie started to notice Eddie crying randomly and clinging to him. She even showed patterns of morning sickness.
One morning Jamie cradled Eddie on his lap in the living room just enjoying each other's company while he watched over her. At one point Eddie smiled at him eyes twinkling, quickly widening her eyes leaning over to get sick in the nearby trash can.
Jamie worriedly rubbed her back until she sat upright again sighing. "Eddie you should see a doctor this has been going on to long."
"It's probably nothing Jamie, just food poisoning or something. Will you stay with me?" Her blue eyes moved up to lock with his offering a pleading look Jamie couldn't resist. He kissed the top of her head whispering, "of course I will."
Laying in Jamie's arms Eddie felt something she'd never felt with Sam, protected and really loved. While she lay comfortably Jamie rested his hands on her stomach making small circles to sooth it.
A hard closed fisted knock rapped against the door three times, the signal he made Danny use to let them know who was outside. Breaking away from Eddie slowly Jamie went to open the door letting his brother in.
"Hey you two comfortable in here" Danny demanded crossing his arms against his chest. Two and a half weeks with no lead leaving the seasoned Detective frustrated as he scrambled to find the guys who threatened a cop while his brother hung out with Eddie.
"Well we could use some beers since you asked but otherwise we're okay," Eddie joked smiling until she noticed the Detective's frowning face.
Jamie took a seat next to Eddie resisting the urge to wrap an arm around her again. Instead he reached for his open computer typing on the keyboard. "I haven't gotten any leads, is there any way we can interview Mr Janko?"
"Gee two first grade Detective's didn't think of that, what would we do without a newly promoted third grade Detective," Danny retorted sarcastically. His eye narrowed at his little brother in no mood for jokes.
He and Baez chased every half ass lead they'd found and got no further then where they started, sometimes even staying until past ten.
"We can't because in order to see him you have to be on the list and we're not so."
Jamie looked at Eddie questioningly, "can you get me on we can go interview your dad?"
Eddie nodded fount to make the phone call so they didn't waste any more time. Once Eddie left Danny grabbed his brother's arm to pull him up for a chat. "Hey what's going on between you two?"
"Nothing I'm guarding her as I was assigned to do that's all," Jamie shrugged his shoulders pulling his arm away.
"Bullshit kid there's something else going on between you two, I can see right through you. Are you two.." Danny raised an eyebrow at his little brother reading his face to see if he was lying.
Jamie felt his cheeks redden at the thought, even if they were he would t admit it to Danny. "It's nothing like that Danny, she's my former partner and best friend who someone threatened. Besides she just found out her boyfriend was stepping out on her so.."
"So of course you have to be there to help her through it huh? Good excuse to be close while she cries on your shoulder," Danny pointed out smirking. He wasn't falling for the best friend act they had going, he knew better.
"Look kid just be careful okay and remember right now your on duty still until we catch these guys."
Jamie let out a frustrated sigh at the comment knowing all to well he was on duty twenty four hours until they found these guys.
Eddie returned to the room having just hung up from the prison. "Okay I spoke to them and they added Jamie to the list so we can go see him tomorrow." She paused looking between the two brothers with a frown going to Jamie's side. "Everything okay?"
"Yea everything is fine tell me how it goes okay? I have Baez working on getting names out of the kid." Danny met Jamie's eyes with a smirk on his way out.
"What's going on," Eddie asked looking at Jamie.
Jamie shook his head in response placing an arm around her with an overprotective feeling.
