After taking Niki out for dinner as they did after each graduation the family parted going their separate ways. Jamie met Eddie at her apartment for some much needed time together. Eddie kept the door open for him waiting with beers on the living room table.

Settling on the couch in each other's arms with a beer in one hand Jamie kissed Eddie's head. "Thanks for coming today it meant a lot to all of us." His arm slowly brushed Eddie's back then down her arm as he smiled brightly.

"Of course I'd come Jamie it was a big day for you guys. I wouldn't have missed it," Eddie swung her beer up taking a long sip from her bottle. Eyes twinkling up Eddie let her hand rest on his stomach enjoying these moments with him. "I have to say Reagan you look even better in your dress blues."

Redness appeared on Jamie's smiling face at the compliment. "You don't look so bad yourself. I was thinking of taking you out next Saturday. I know you have off so don't make plans okay?"

"Okay.." Eddie raised an eyebrow at him suspiciously wondering what he was up to but didn't press it. Holding her almost finished beer Eddie rested her head against his shoulder sighing happily when he moved to play with her hair.

"You could stay tonight instead of going back home.."

Jamie brushed his lips against her head kissing her lightly at the offer. "Sounds like a good idea." He moved his arm around her waist running his fingers along her side. Her body radiated warmth against his as Eddie curled to fit into him abandoning her empty beer.

Eddie's eyes slowly closed tired and still adjusting to her new schedule. Feeling her body slowly relax Jamie scooped her against his chest carrying Eddie to the bedroom carefully laying down with her. "Get some rest," he whispered into her ear taking off his dress uniform, holding her tightly.

"Jamie.." Eddie whispered tiredly into his chest. Her breathing shallowed against his chest as Eddie fell into a light sleep. While Eddie slept Jamie rested his head against hers with his arms around the small of her back.

Smiling, watching her sleep trusting him. "Night Eddie," Jamie whispered closing his own eyes to rest.

Just as he started relaxing Eddie's cell pierced the quiet bedroom stirring both officers. Groaning Eddie shifted closer against Jamie not ready to move away from his warm, comfortable body. The Insistent ringing forced Eddie to reach back and answer her phone. "Janko."

Jamie watched her sigh before ending the call. "That was my partner, I have to go he found something for our case." Eddie picked her head up to lock eyes with him apologetically. "Sorry lambchop."

"It's okay I understand." Jamie leaned closer for a kiss trying to hide his disappointment that she had to leave. "Go solve your case babe."

Leaning up on her elbow Eddie pressed against him deepening the kiss before moving back. "I'll try and make it back before you leave for tour. " Jamie watched sadly as Eddie got up changing into her work clothes and quickly rushing out to meet her partner.

After tossing and turning all night Jamie woke up around five waiting to leave for work in hopes he would be able to see Eddie before work. While he waited Jamie washed up checking his phone seeing a text message from Eddie. Morning lambchop I'm so sorry but we have a lead so I can't leave. Stay safe today and I'll see you tonight.

Sighing Jamie text back you too disappointed he wasn't able to see her before tour. Dressing In his uniform Jamie headed back to his apartment for a quick shower changing into street clothes before heading to work.

"Hey kid," Renzulli greeted over the pot of coffee. "How's Eddie doing kid?"

The Jamie inhaled sharply pouring himself a cup of coffee needing the caffeine before answering. "She's fine Sarg."

Hearing the change in his old boot's voice Renzulli faced the younger officer. "Everything okay with you two? How's she liking being a Detective huh? Much different then patrol but she had a good training officer."

"Yea, she likes it.. I'm going to change Sarg I'll come find you." Coffee in hand Jamie started towards the locker room taking a minute to stare at his locker before changing. Slamming the locker shut Jamie looked at his reflection satisfied. Heaving a sigh he left the locker room going to find Sarg.

"So how are you really kid cause you don't look good. Is everything really okay with you and Eddie? I'm sure it's an adjustment," Renzulli started once they got inside the assigned patrol car.

"It is an adjustment Sarg, I miss her. She came to Niki's graduation but got called back into work so spending time together is hard," Jamie admitted, adding a frustrated sigh. He missed seeing Eddie every day like they used to.

Renzulli offered a sympathetic and knowing smile having years on the job while being married. "I know kid, sometimes it's harder at home but if you really love each other and I know that you do it'll work out okay kid?"

Across town Eddie sat across from her partner looking over paperwork from the case they've been working diligently on that took so much of her time and attention. "I still say that sumab itch knows more then he's leading on. I say we bring his ass in and question him and if he doesn't cooperate charge him?"

"Charge him with what hindering prosecution? That'll really make him talk, no we have to find a way to make him talk," Eddie shook her head tiredly blinking her eyes trying to refocus them.

"How?"

Eddie looked over the file in front of her sighing seeing a long day ahead of them.

After tour Jamie headed back to his apartment waiting for Eddie to text him when she got out of work. Around seven he settled in for a light meal and a beer keeping his phone on the table in case Eddie text. Flipping through channels trying to find something that would keep his attention Jamie settled on a baseball game.

Picking up his cell Jamie send Eddie a quick text wondering why she hasn't treat him with her tour ending an hour ago. Hey babe haven't heard from you, just wondering if everything is okay?

His phone vibrated a minute later with a return text from Eddie. Yea, getting nowhere with this case and exhausted so I'm going home to sleep. ❤

Reading the text Jamie threw his phone aside not answering.
