Inspired by an episode of Parks and Recreation, the one when Ben is at the hospital on morphine.

"Ames, you're here!" Jake exclaims when the woman enters his hospital room, looking at her with a huge grin on his face, apparently thrilled to see her there.

She smiles back at him, letting out a small sigh now that she know that he's indeed in one piece and apparently not suffering too much, no matter how many times her colleagues and doctors told her that already. She needed to see it for herself to completely believe it and stop worrying too much.

She goes straight to his bed, not bothering answering anything, and sits on a chair next to him.

"Hi, beautiful," the detective immediately takes Amy's hand in his once she's all settled, never removing his gaze from her, watching her with pure bliss in his eyes.

"Hi," she finally greets him too in a soft voice. "I came as soon as I heard. How're you feeling?" she asks, gently squeezing their fingers together.

She's got a call, about half an hour earlier, from Rosa telling her not to panic, 'but Jake is in the hospital.' Of course, despite such a warning, she did panic – for all she knew, the man was out on a case after all, and the image of him hurt by a bullet some criminal would have shot him with immediately took over her mind at her friend's words.

Turns out though, he simply missed a step on their way out of the building they were chasing their perp in, and fell down a few stairs.

Nothing too serious thankfully, but still bad enough for the two cops to have to make a detour at the hospital.

"Great," Jake takes her back from her reverie with his answer, his beam still on his features – never disappearing. "I have the most beautiful woman here with me, so nothing could ever be better. Seriously Ames, you're gorgeous."

She can't help but let out a chuckle and roll her eyes at that explanation that seems to make a lot of sense to him – though a small blush colour her cheeks as well at the compliment. The doctors told her, before she came inside, that they had to put him on morphine to help ease the pain – hence his reactions a little bit over-excited.

"You know what, we should just do it," he adds after a short moment of silence, in a very serious tone this time, his grin all gone as he watches her in a deep stare. "We should get married right now."

The woman looks startled by such a suggestion. "What?!" she exclaims.

"We should get married right now," Jake repeats his last sentence before he starts ranting. "I love you, and you love me, so why wait? We can ask Captain Holt to come and marry us, and borrow some flowers and two rings from another room or whatever."

"Babe…" Amy trails off in response, both a little worried and amused at the same time. It's just the meds, she reminds herself. "We got married a month ago," she tells him, and his mouth suddenly drops open in shock.

She takes their intertwined hands and puts them in front of his face then, showing him the sparkling silver rings on both their fingers.

His eyes begin to water as he watches them in pure awe. "We… we got married?" he hardly believes it. "It must have been so beautiful," he dreamily says, lost in his thoughts, then looks up at her with actual happy, full of emotions tears in his brown eyes now. "You're so beautiful," he lets her know once more. "And you're… my wife," his grin is fully back when he lets out the last words.

The way he looks at her makes Amy laugh, while her heart warms up in her chest. "Yes. And you're my husband," she eventually answers him, letting her palm rest on his cheek and smiling tenderly at him with true love for the man in her eyes.

(Later, when Jake's feeling better and they're back home, lying in their own bed all curled-up against one another, she can't help but tease him about what happened at the hospital. "I can't believe for a moment there you forgot we got married," she shakes her head in gentle mockery, reminiscence of the day taking over her brain.

"That was just an excuse to marry you all over again," the detective explains himself with a chuckle, then brings Amy closer in his embrace to press a soft kiss on her lips.)
