Hi everyone, this chapter will be referenced in Partners and Reagans, chapter 5!
Got this idea after it happened to my sister, I thought it would be kinda funny. She's totally fine!
"Whoa Janko what's wrong?" Jamie asked as his partner walked in and stood next to him for roll call
"Nothing why?" Eddie asked
"You don't look so good. You feeling ok?" Jamie asked her
"Yea" Eddie said
"You sure?"
"Just dandy" Eddie said
"Ok..." Jamie said as their Sargent started their assignments
"Hey I'll be right out" Eddie said
"Ok" Jamie said, waking out to their RMP
He was waiting for her and was about to go back into the precinct to see what was going on when Eddie finally opened the door.
"I thought you were ditching me or something today" Jamie said
"Nope" Eddie said
"You ok, partner?" Jamie asked her
"Yup" Eddie said
"You can tell me if your sick Eddie" Jamie said
"I'm fine Jamie" Eddie said
"Ok" Jamie said driving away from the precinct
"You get dumped or something?" Jamie asked her
"Why is that you always think I get dumped? I can dump someone you know. Can't a person just have a bad day?" Eddie asked
"Usually you bitch about a bad day until I beg you to shut up" Jamie said "So I figured it wasn't that"
"Do we have to talk?" Eddie asked
"I mean we don't have to" Jamie said confused
"Perfect" Eddie said
"Eddie are you mad at me or something?" Jamie asked
"No why?"
"Cause you're freezing me out" Jamie said
"You usually tell me I talk too much" Eddie said
"Yea but you not talking is weird" Jamie said
"There's no pleasing you Reagan" Eddie said putting her head on the headrest
"I give up" Jamie said putting a hand up in defense
"Good" Eddie said
They had been driving around when they got orders for a foot patrol.
"Ugh walking" Eddie said
"Yea it's really the worst" Jamie said laughing
"Come on Janko, what's your beef?" Jamie said tugging on her arm
Before Eddie could answer their radios crackled to life.
"12-David, assault in progress. Corner of 12th and Lex"
"That's up the street" Jamie said taking off running with Eddie on his heels
Jamie and Eddie were able to tackle him to the ground and cuff him. Eddie got the perp up and handed him off to Jamie.
"Janko you good?" Jamie asked
"Yea, yea. I just need to catch my breath" Eddie said
Jamie and Eddie took their perp in and were sent back out on patrol.
"Eddie you really don't look so good. You getting sick or something?" Jamie asked as he looked at her curled aginst the car window
"I'm …"
"Don't even finish that, I know you're not fine. You were out of breath after running a block and a half"
"Thanks..." Eddie said sarcastically
"What, no. You know what I meant" Jamie said
"Yea got it, I'll hit the gym thanks Reagan" Eddie said
"Janko" Jamie sighed "We've been riding together for two years. We really don't have secrets"
"It's my stomach, It's embarrassing" Eddie said looking away from him
"What you got cramps? You know that doesn't bother me" Jamie said
"What no, I'm not twelve" Eddie said
"Alright you didn't get dumped, it's not cramps. You really gonna make me play twenty questions"
Eddie just looked at him
"You saw me get shot down the other night at the bar. That was embarrassing" Jamie said groaning
"I told you she was out of your league" Eddie said laughing
"Whatever" Jamie said laughing "So you're not gonna tell me?"
"There's not much that we don't know about each other" Jamie said
"Alright" Eddie said
"Go on" Jamie said rolling his hand
"I can't go the bathroom" Eddie said slumping down in her seat
"What I can stop" Jamie said and then he realized it "Oh, you mean?"
"Yea" Eddie said groaning
"Oh" Jamie said
"Told you it was embarrassing" Eddie said
"It's normal" Jamie said
"It's not normal not to go" Eddie said
"It's probably your diet" Jamie said
"Here we go" Eddie said rolling her eyes
"You eat enough fiber?" Jamie asked her
"No, uh-uh we're not furthering this discussion" Eddie said
"You realize the guys talk more about poop and bodily functions in the locker room more than five year olds do?"
"Thank God we have our own" Eddie said
"You want lunch I'm hungry" Jamie said
"No I don't want lunch you dummy" Eddie said
"Alright I'm gonna run in and get something" Jamie said pulling over
Jamie went in and got a sandwich and salad and some stuff for Eddie.
"I'm back" Jamie said getting in the car
"I have eyes, at least until the body backs up that far" Eddie said
Jamie just made a face and laughed.
"Here you go" Jamie said placing the bag in her lap
"What's all this?" Eddie asked
"Just open it" Jamie said taking a bite of his sandwich
"Seriously?" Eddie asked as she looked in the bag and saw a container of dried prunes, a laxative and fiber one bars
"And I figured we could split the salad"
"I can't believe you bought me prunes" Eddie said turning red
"Pop swears by them" Jamie said "You're clearly in pain. I was trying to help"
"I appreciate it but you don't think I've tried all this" Eddie said
"I figured more wouldn't hurt" Jamie said
"My white knight" Eddie said laughing
"Real friends buy you prunes and fiber" Jamie said passing her the salad
"You know if you actually ate a vegetable it wouldn't happen"
"That's not all" Eddie said
"I know, it's happened to me before" Jamie said
"Salad boy, really?" Eddie asked in fake shock
"Just eat your prunes grandma" Jamie said
"So what happens when I use all this stuff and it works?" Eddie asked
"You'll be cleaning the fleet" Jamie said laughing
"You're the worst" Eddie said, curling her feet around her
"You really don't feel good do you?" Jamie asked her
"No" Eddie said putting her head on the window
"I just feel so bloated and my vest is too heavy on my stomach" Eddie said groaning "I hate to ask this but do you think we could call it early? Just if we get a dangerous call I don't want to us in danger by not having the ability to move" Eddie asked
"I'll call it in" Jamie said looking at her slumped against the window with her eyes closed
"12-David to Central"
"Go 12-David"
"Officer Janko is feeling sick can we call an early tour"
"Yes 12-David, head back in"
"Ok we're done for the day" Jamie said to Eddie
"Thank God" Eddie said
"You want me to take you to the hospital or doctor or something?" Jamie asked her
"No I just wanna go home" Eddie said
"Alright since we're done why don't you try something in the bag" Jamie said
"Not home yet" Eddie said
"I'll drive you. Even stay if you want"
"Wow you went there" Eddie said
"Went where"
"This just took our friendship to a new level"
"It's no different than you bringing me soup and cold medicine last year when I got sick" Jamie said
"Yes it is, a cough and constipation are different"
"If you say so" Jamie said
"Fine you can come over if you want. I want no grief on the semi-messy state of my apartment"
"I promise nothing" Jamie said
"Bag, come on. It will help" Jamie said
"Fine" Eddie said opening the fiber bar
"It used to happen to me a lot in highschool, too many sports and I never hydrated enough. I've been there"
"Of course you have" Eddie said
"You never let me have anything you always have to one up me" Eddie said
"Knotty hair is all yours" Jamie said
"Gee thanks" Eddie said
"What all did you try? It also happened to Sean a lot as a toddler"
"Foods that are supposed to help, drink warm water, a bath, I Googled it and it said to massage your stomach but it was too uncomfortable I couldn't do it"
"How long?" Jamie asked
"Really?" Eddie asked
"Oh you're gonna get shy again?" Jamie asked pulling into the precinct parking lot
"Four and a half days"
"Janko that sucks"
"Tell me about it"
"You think about a suppository?" Jamie asked
"You gonna do that?"
"No I'd call Linda" Jamie said knowing they couldn't cross the line into nakedness "Come on out you go" Jamie said
"Ugh" Eddie said getting out
They both got changed and walked over to Jamie's car.
"You don't mind?" Eddie asked
"Not at all" Jamie said
"I took the laxative when I was getting changed"
"Good" Jamie said
"Just take me home" Eddie said
"Just try and relax. The more you think about it the harder it will be"
"No pun intended?" Eddie asked
"All puns intended" Jamie said laughing
"Can you not drive like an old person today? I need to lay down"
"I'm doing the speed limit" Jamie said
"That's the problem" Eddie said
Jamie pulled up to Eddie's and they walked up to her apartment.
"Thanks for not pooping in my car" Jamie said laughing
"Why am I friends with you?" Eddie asked
"Cause I'm awesome" Jamie said
"Yea" Eddie said sarcastically
"You want anything?" Eddie asked him
"Nah" Jamie said
"I'm gonna go put on sweats" Eddie said
"You want anything?" Jamie asked her
"It's my house" Eddie said
"Yea but you're not feeling good" Jamie said
"I'm good" Eddie said eating a prune
"How is it? Yummy?" Jamie asked her with a goofy grin
"Stop enjoying this" Eddie said
"I'm not" Jamie said
"I even tried yoga, went for a jog but now I don't want to move" Eddie said closing her bedroom door
"well you look comfy" Jamie said as she walked out
"The loosest clothes I own" Eddie said sitting on the couch
"I pick the movie" Eddie said
"Figures" Jamie said "No Remember the Titans, I don't feel like dealing with you crying"
"What a friend" Eddie said grabbing the remote
As they were looking through the channels Eddie jumped up.
"Oh no" As she made her way into her room
Jamie found an old baseball game and just put that on while he waited for Eddie.
"How'd it go?" Jamie asked as Eddie walked out after a while
"It didn't" Eddie said curling into a ball, close to tears.
"Janko" Jamie said putting a hand on her leg
"Don't touch me" Eddie said pulling back
"You sure you don't want to go to the hospital"
"Yes" Eddie said closing her eyes trying to get rid of the pain "What else did you used to do?"
"My mom would massage my stomach, sometimes my dad did it if hers didn't work. We would do frog kicks with Sean" Jamie said
"Something that will help me"
"Try those"
"I tried the massage, I couldn't do it"
"You want me to try?" Jamie asked nervously
"Uh no"
"Just a suggestion don't get all weird on me" Jamie said getting up and tossing her a bottle of water
"Keep drinking" Jamie said
"God I should just get drunk" Eddie said
"I don't think that will help" Jamie said
"I don't know what to do" Eddie said
"Go for a jog?" Jamie asked
"What part of I can't move don't you get? And baseball really? No wonder my intestinal track is asleep" Eddie said
"Stop hating on baseball" Jamie said
"Never" Eddie said curling up smaller
"Pass me the damn prunes" Eddie said
"Yummy snack" Jamie said
"The worst cramps of my life. I literally look pregnant from being bloated"
"I don't know what else to tell you to do. I guess all the stuff will take time" Jamie said
"I'm out of that. Now I'm just cranky"
Eddie got up again and Jamie starting Googling what else she could.
"Nothing" Eddie said walking back to the couch
"Jamie? Could you try it?"
"Sure" Jamie said a little nervous "Go lay down"
Eddie got up and went to her bed.
"Now what?" Eddie asked
"Roll your sweatpants down a little" Jamie said sitting next to her
Eddie did as she was told and held her breath.
"You have to breath Janko" Jamie said
"Ok" Eddie said
"Tell me if it hurts too much"
"Yup" Eddie said hugging her pillow
"Um, uh it starts kinda low. I Googled for a refresher. Is that ok?"
"I'll try anything at this point" Eddie said
Jamie started in slow circles near her left hip bone and slowly worked towards her belly button.
"No, stop, stop" Eddie said shoving Jamie's hands away
"Sorry, Sorry" Jamie said apologetically
"Jamie please make it stop" Eddie said
"I think your last option is something up your butt or the hospital"
"Neither"
"No jokes? You must be feeling lousy" Jamie said
"Keep going" Eddie said
"You sure?" Jamie asked
"Yea" Eddie said as she put a pillow over her face
"Ok" Jamie said as he started higher up her stomach
"I'm going back down to your hip"
"Jamie" Eddie whined
"Want me to stop?"
"No promise me you'll keep going even if I yell at you to stop"
"You sure"
"Yea" Eddie said "I'm running out of options
"Ok" Jamie said working across her stomach
Jamie kept going even when Eddie was fighting him.
"I'm almost done" Jamie said
Jamie applied light pressure to her stomach and then stood up from the bed.
"I'm sorry" Jamie said as he rolled her sweatpants back up. He didn't go as low as he would've done on his own but he was hoping it still helped
"Thank you" Eddie said
"Of course" Jamie said giving her a quick hug
"Keep drinking water" Jamie said handing her the bottle
"I'm just gonna lay here" Eddie said "Order what ever movie you want"
"You need anything?"
"No, thanks. Maybe this will work"
A little while later Jamie fell asleep on her couch. It was nearing dinner time when Eddie finally walked out to the living room and Jamie had just woken up.
"Ugh" Eddie said flopping down
"Still nothing?"
"No it worked but I still want to die" Eddie said laying half across her partner
"You stomach doesn't feel as tight" Jamie said moving his hand around
"I do feel better but like you know what I mean"
"Yea I do" Jamie said laughing
"I went twice, you think it's all out?"
"Not sure, how do you feel?"
"Better still a little off"
"You probably will be" Jamie said
"So what are we doing for dinner?" Eddie asked
"Salad, you need it"
"Here we go" Eddie said rolling her eyes
