Frank stepped inside room, surprised to see Jamie sitting up and seemingly in good spirits. He looked up and gave a calm nod to reassure he was okay. The one person his eyes averted to was Eddie knowing how worried she'd be.

"How do you feel Jamie," Frank asked first as he moved closer to the bed for a better look at his son. Jamie's blue grey eyes twinkled in relief he made it out of there alive other then worrying the other team members.

"I'm fine commissioner," Jamie answered dryly, keeping his gaze on Eddie the entire time waiting to reassure her and apologize for scaring her. He got his chance when Eddie went around to the other side watching him with narrow accusing eyes.

"You scared the crap out of me. Don't ever do that again," she accused. Jamie smiled his thousand watt smile apologetically reaching up for her hand. Without hesitation Eddie took his hand with a gentle squeeze.

Smiling back at him not caring who was there and saw Eddie brushed a hand across his shoulder sighing. "Why'd you go after him alone?"

"He killed Joe, If I didn't he would have gotten away. He knew what he was doing though it was a set up. That's how he got Joe, he had another guy waiting.." Jamie swallowed hard sighing in frustration he let Sony get away.

"We're just glad you're okay kid," Danny said low. His voice caught before he could bring up the fight. Renzulli nodded in agreement mumbling under his breath about being a hero.

It was then for the first time in a long time Frank got a good look at his youngest and see what he's become. They could have lost him tonight because he left the team for vengeance. "We'll talk about this when you're feeling better, right now the most important thing is for you to rest."

Each taking their turn to say goodbye the family left separately until only Jamie and Eddie were alone. Eddie sat beside him reaching up to brush his hair while breathing in deeply. "Jamie?"

"I know no hero stuff," a Jamie grinned moving over until their shoulders rubbed. Eddie sat with him fingers intertwined as he rested through the night.

Jamie was released after two days to rest at home a few more days before returning to desk duty. Eddie helped him back to her apartment, settling him on the couch before sitting carefully beside him.

"I'm not going to break Eddie," Jamie joked, regretting it when he saw the look on her face.

"When Danny came to get us.. the look on his face…I thought.." Eddie sighed taking a deep breath in.

Jamie shifted to face her and reached up to caress her face. "I know, I'm sorry I scared you but I'm here safe with you."

"I get it Jamie if Joe were my brother I'd want to get the guys too. I just.." Eddie paused taking a deep breath to gather strength for what she was about to say. "I love you.."

Jamie widened his eyes surprised to hear her say that after only the short time they'd been going out. Using his momentary pause Eddie went on. "I know we haven't been together long but being with you has just felt right. I usually don't say that until a few months in but.."

"I feel it too actually, I didn't want to say it and scare you off thinking we were rushing things." Jamie smiled glad she felt the same way he did.

"But this vengeful stuff Jamie, it's dangerous and I don't want to get hurt again by loosing you," Eddie told him locking eyes with him.

With an uneven breath Jamie nodded not wanting to hurt her either. "I know okay, I'm done playing super hero, promise." To seal the vow he kissed her softly, their lips brushing together quickly.

After about a minute Jamie pulled back, keeping his hand on Eddie's cheek with their heads resting together. "And I love you too," he whispered.

They sat in silence for a minute wrapped in each other's arms and just enjoying their company. Eddie rested her head against his shoulder thinking quietly as their fingers brushed together on her lap.

"Jamie, can you tell me about Joe?"

Jamie turned his head towards her eyes glossing over thinking about his brother. He always felt Joe was with him but that sense seemed especially strong after last night. Had he dreamed that Joe spoke to him?

"Joe was from when I can remember my best friend. We were inseparable doing everything together. I've always looked up to both my brothers and father but Joe more so," Jamie smiled as he reminisced.

"Everything Joe did I wanted to do, so I followed him and Danny around everywhere. It was hard because they were so much older then me but I tried so hard to keep up with my older brothers." Jamie sighed at this.

"Danny and Joe were only four years apart but Danny and I are ten so he didn't like me hanging around them. Joe was the one who intervened and made Danny include me in their games. " Eddie looked up at the second pause giving him the time he needed to continue.

When he didn't Eddie squeezed his hand gently showing support knowing it was hard for talk about his brother.

"Joe was the person I went to for advice if I had a problem and he was the one who defended me most while Danny couldn't be bothered. " Jamie paused again before going on. "he would have been the first I'd of told about joining the academy and he would have helped me."

Sitting up straight Eddie rubbed his leg with her free hand and cuddled into him. "He would have liked you a lot seeing how happy you make me.

"Wish I could have met him too, he sounds really sweet," Eddie said softly. From how Jamie described Joe would have been there with Jamie through everything with their family. Eddie can see the pain in his eyes talking about his brother and the family he now doesn't speak to.

"Me too." Jamie hugged her tightly longing for more time with his brother. He smiled, thinking about Joe's words to cherish Eddie.
