As his colleague and partner on many cases, Amy's been dealing with Jake and his shenanigans for years now; be it when they're on door duty, collecting statements or even during interrogations. She still has vivid images in her mind of him playing with the electronics of a store that had just been robbed or literally breaking the mirrored glass of the interrogation room – and making her take the fall for it.

She's always prided herself for not letting it affect her work, though. She simply tuned him out and didn't pay attention to whatever he might have been doing or rambling about next to her. Even after they started dating (after the disaster that had been their first case as a couple), she made sure they kept a professional environment and that his presence by her side wouldn't distract her from the job.

She succeeded in not letting him disturb her for years of partnership, both on the field and in their personal lives. But today might be her breaking point – and she can't even blame him for it.

They'd been on door duty for the last half-hour while investigating a murder when they knocked on the door of another one of the victim's neighbors. A woman with a crying baby in her arms opened to them, looking pretty overwhelmed by the situation.

"NYPD." Amy took out her badge and showed it to her, trying to keep her eyes focused on the potential witness and not the infant she was holding. "We'd like to ask you a few questions about the Cassidy murder."

"Sure. Come in." She stepped aside to let them enter the apartment.

Once inside, while Amy was already opening her notebook and taking out her favorite pen, she saw the woman turn towards Jake.

"D'you mind holding her for a minute?" She pointed at the baby, who was still wailing loudly.

"I, uh–…" He paused, his mouth half-open in hesitation as his eyes switched from the little girl to Amy and back to the woman. "Okay." He eventually nodded and carefully welcomed the infant into his arms.

He's been holding her since, rocking her around the living room and talking to her in the most adorable voices as an attempt to shush her cries while Amy's been busy asking questions.

Or at least trying to stay focused on their potential witness and ask questions without paying attention to her husband's doing.

Because even though it's technically not the first time she's seeing him with a baby – between Terry's youngest daughter, her own nieces and nephews and Iggy, she's had a lot of occasions to witness him around them in the past – it still manages to make her swoon and forget about her job for a moment as she can't retain her gaze from switching from that woman to Jake and the little girl.

Especially when the cries are eventually replaced with silence and then a small happy giggle. She watches as her husband has his whole attention focused on the few-months-old, unable to draw her gaze away from the pair as a dreamy smile forms on her features. There's a huge grin lighting up Jake's whole face and the baby's small hand curled around his left finger as she stares back at him with her big blue eyes.

His voice is soft when he starts talking to her and makes her laugh again. Amy's heart warms up in her chest at the sight and she feels the urge to bring her hand to her own stomach.

"Your colleague seems pretty good with babies," the woman she's been interrogating suddenly says, taking Amy out of her contemplation. Her ears are turning red from blushing as she brings her attention back to the lady; she can't help but feel embarrassed to have been caught staring instead of doing her job even if the woman looks just as mesmerized by the scene.

It's not completely her fault, she tries to reassure herself. She probably wouldn't be as distracted under other circumstances – but she's one month and a half pregnant and the news is still fresh in her mind (as well as Jake's absolutely thrilled reaction when she told him their family would be getting bigger in just a few months). Hence the overwhelming feeling that's taking over her mind since seeing him in the company of a baby.

Plus the hormones.

She really can't wait to see him holding their own baby for the very first time. It's going to be magical for sure – the most magical day of their lives.

"Yeah, he is…" Amy dreamily trails off with one last glance at her husband. This time he looks back at her and offers her a knowing smile before he brings his attention back to the girl in his arms and softly skims her small chubby cheek with his thumb. A loving beam soon reciprocates on her own features.

He's going to be such an amazing father – Amy has absolutely no doubt about that.

(It becomes all the more obvious when, during their ride back to the precinct, Jake starts rambling about how cute that baby was and how even cuter theirs is going to be. He can't seem to stop talking about it, shooting her quick glances with his eyes shining in pure bliss and bringing a hand to her belly, gently skimming at it with his thumb over her blouse. Amy's glad she's not the one driving; with her husband watching her like that and going on and on about a 'mini-them', she wouldn't be able to concentrate on the road for sure.)
