A/N: Hey guys. What can I say? Sorry for the wait! I had to stay at a place with no internet on Wednesday and Thursday, and the weekend is a really busy time for me.
Disclaimer: I don'town. Bummer.
Eddie swatted Jamie away with the back of a towel, raising an eyebrow. Ever since the backyard incident, Jamie had been extra clingy and affectionate. Not that she was complaining.
She reaches for the dish in Nicky's hand, listening carefully for the telltale footsteps of her partner. Every few minutes he would sneak up behind her and tickle her sides, and she was determined that she would catch him before he got to her. It had become somewhat of a game.
So that's where they found themselves after dinner, in the kitchen cleaning up with the rest of the family.
Suddenly a piercing ring sounded through the kitchen, startling everyone except Danny, who simply pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.
"Reagan."
A few "uh huh" and "ok" phrases later, Danny hung up the phone.
"Sorry guys, I gotta run."
Danny threw his towel at Jamie. Eddie quickly looked over at Danny. "Is it about my sister's case?"
Danny didn't answer, looking over at Jamie. When Jamie nodded his head. Danny sighed. "Yeah. Remember that witness I told you about? Apparently he didn't go on a trip. He was just found dead in his home."
Eddie didn't say much after Danny left, appearing to be deep in thought. Likewise, Jamie was silent, all teasing absent.
They didn't say anything to each other or anyone else until Sean begged them to go to the park with him. Of course they gave in, and Jack tagged along.
Once they got to the park, Jack and Sean took off for the basketball court. Jamie and Eddie stood silently for a moment before Eddie let out a rather childish tease.
"Race you too the swings!"
She slid off her heels and scooped them up, taking off across the grass before Jamie could even process what happened. He grinned and ran after her. Eddie beat him by a couple steps, plopping down onto the swing. Jamie sat on the one beside her. Before he knew it, they were in a contest to see who could get the highest.
What could he say? Eddie brought out the competitive side in him.
"Janko, you swing like a girl!"
"I am a girl! Have you not figured that out yet? I mean, we have gotten awful close lately Reagan!"
Jamie laughed. All of a sudden, Eddie stopped pumping her legs, a look of terror coming across her face. "What?"
"See that man over there?" Eddie whispered softly, not looking behind her.
Jamie nodded. "He's my father."
A/N: Ok so thanks for all the reviews so far! It already has more reviews than my last Jamie/Eddie fic had total, and it had more chapter!
To the Guest who asked if I'd ever considered writing a lemon: Yes, I have, but at this time, I'm not writing them. However, if you request one, and I get interested, who knows? Maybe.
Please review!
