I don't own these characters, just a fan trying to tell a story. I hope you enjoy!


Danny sat at his desk trying to make sense and trying to make a connection between cases, one detective stabbed one shot point blank, one officer in a car accident, and the other in a drive-by shooting. What connected each officer, to the hits? Where they coordinated attacks? The detectives were partners and so where Jamie and Eddie. Maybe that was the connection, and he just wasn't seeing it.

"How is Jamie?" Detective Biaz asked, setting a cup of coffee one Danny's desk.

"Bullets missed him, Reagan luck," Danny remarked, "Can you think of any reason someone would be targeting people of the 12th?" Danny asked, resting his head in his arms.

"Could it be a perp, who wants to get back at the people who put him behind a bar?" Biaz suggested.

"I already thought of that, but the memo doesn't match, each attack has been different and the witnesses describe people that match ID's of people different gangs, I can't make any sense of what's going on." Danny sighed, "Not to mention they are going after my kid brother."

Biaz phone started ringing.

"Biaz," She answered, "Oh my god," she breathed, "I'll tell him."

"They aren't attempts anymore, Detective Lopez, the one who was got shot just died from complications, She had two kids," Biaz reported

"Son of a bitch." Danny sighed, rubbing his eyes. "We need to find out what's going on."


Eddie lay resting against the pillows, she was bored and lonely, the beeping from the machines watching her vitals' made her want to bury her face in the pillows she was watching the clock. Hoping Jamie was coming after tour, but she was pretty sure he wouldn't be able to after the shooting outside of the precinct. Linda came back into the room.

"How are you holding up?" Linda asked, changing out Eddie's IV bag.

"I'm really bored," Eddie confessed, "I just want to do something, or help with the investigation."

"Well, you will probably be discharged this afternoon," Linda said, comfortably.

"How did Danny's family react," Eddie asked, "When you told them you were pregnant?"

"They couldn't have been more excited," Linda replied with a smile.

"Concerned about his family's reaction?" Linda questioned, she knew it wasn't really her place but something was drawing her to Eddie and her situation.

"Yeah," Eddie admitted,

"I'm sure; eventually if not immediately they will be excited," Linda assured.

"I'm not so sure, he comes from a- I don't know how to put it, but I'm not sure what they will think of a child born out of wedlock, let alone from a one night stand," Eddie said, looking at her hands.

"Maybe one day, it will grow into more than a one night stand," Linda said with a smile,

Eddie couldn't help but smile though she tried to hide it. The thought of one day being more than just friends and partners with Jamie was a very pleasant thought.

"I heard Danny caught my case," Eddie stated.

"Yeah, which means I won't be seeing him for a couple days," Linda remarked sadly.

"Is it rough being married to a detective?" Eddie questioned,

"Yeah, sometimes I wonder if he has two wives, me and the job." Linda said sadly, "I mean I admire how dedicated he is to the job, but sometimes the family pays the price."

Eddie contemplated these words, her baby could feel the same way about the job taking more precedence over the family.

"The doctor will be in a few moments to check on you." And Linda left. Linda had a feeling, that there was a reason to Eddie asking so many questions about her family life. Linda had been careful to make sure she didn't let on, but she had been on shift when Jamie had left the hospital that morning, and the fact that they had been holding hands all night had circulated the nurses' rumor mill faster than that the anesthesiologist and the surgeon were sleeping together.

Eddie waited and soon Dr. Turner came into the room. She was a young doctor only about twenty-eight but she was good and have a carefree personality

"How are you doing today?" She asked.

"Head hurts like hell," Eddie stated,

"Yeah, that's to be expected it got hit pretty hard." Dr. Turner replied, with a sympathetic smile.

"You know if I met a guy that looked at me the way your boyfriend looks at you, I would be content." Dr. Turner said after she checked Eddie's pupil dilation.

"Oh, I don't have a boyfriend, if you are thinking about the guy that came last night, he's my partner on the force. We are just friends." Eddie stated quickly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just thought, since he stayed the night with you, you know." Dr. Turner said, apologetically.

"Yeah, so do a lot of people," Eddie admitted.

"Well, you are well on your way to recovery, now we just need to check your little one's heart rate" Dr. Turner stated, after going through some basic examinations. She took out a machine that was called a Doppler.

"Now this gel is going to be really cold." Dr. Turner stated, squeezing some blue gel onto Eddie's stomach. Eddie was surprised at how cold it was, it felt like ice against her stomach.

Dr. Tanner started moving a little device that looked like a really small white microphone. A sound came over the speaker but they didn't sound much like a heartbeat at first but as Dr. Tanner moved the device she settled on a place. Eddie heard the noises steady out at a rapid pace, it sounded almost like footsteps that were connected together.

"There it is." Dr. Tanner stated, gleefully.

Eddie's breath caught in her throat, her chest constricted and she felt tears welling up in her eyes. That was her baby's heartbeat.

"Is this your first time hearing the heartbeat?" Dr. Tanner questioned seeing Eddie's reaction.

"Yeah, I was unconscious for when they checked it yesterday," Eddie stated, she was surprised at the emotion in her voice. "DAMN HORMONES"

"God, I wish he could be here to hear this," Eddie whispered, she wishes Jamie could be here to share this moment that would impact their lives. She wished he could be holding his hand right now and they could talk about it.

Dr. Tanner heard Eddie's small comment but decided it would be best not to comment on it, as many of the nurses had noticed that when talking about the F.O.B. (Father of baby common term used in hospitals) Eddie would become nervous and avoided the questions.

"Everything sounds good!" Dr. Tanner said lightly, "I will start getting the paperwork together for you to be discharged, do you have someone to drive you home?"

"I'm sure my security detail will be able to," Eddie replied; match Dr. Tanner's light tone.


Jamie sat in his father's house. He was on house arrest, again. Granted it had been several years since he had been grounded because he had a price on his head, but it was still just as annoying if not more so, because this time they were targeting people he knew, and one detective was dead.

"This is wretched business," Henry was saying, "In my time-" Jamie zoned out what his grandfather was saying, he didn't feel like responded to comments about if it was still Henry as commissioner what would be different. He was distracted, he was stuck in this house and Eddie was stuck at the hospital, they needed to talk about how their friendship was going to be affected by the baby, but how could he get to the hospital without making this suspicious. Time passed slowly as Jamie paced around the house, he tried to read but sitting still was impossible, around supper time. Erin came into the kitchen which Jamie was in the process of wearing a hole in the tiles of.

"Hey," Erin said, hugging her brother.

"I'm fine," Jamie assured when he saw Erin's concerned face, "No bullet holes."

Erin smiled, at her brother joking tone.

"I brought supper," Erin stated, "Nicki will be joining us too."

"I'll go set the table," Jamie said, turning from his sister.

"How is Eddie?" Erin asked, as she took Chinese food out of the bag and setting it on the table.

"Concussion, bruised ribs and a broken arm, nothing permanent," Jamie stated,

"Did you talk to her about her avoiding you?" Erin questioned.

"She could have died; I didn't think it was a good time," Jamie stated, irritated.

Erin was quiet, she was surprised at Jamie's reaction and was puzzled, she wasn't surprised he hadn't talked to her but at the angry reaction to a simple question.

Jamie was quiet all of supper, the table discussed the events of the day. Once supper was over and the dishes cleared. Jamie announced he was going to go to bed.

"He had been in bad mood all afternoon and evening," Erin remarked once Jamie was upstairs.

"Yes, but he hates being grounded to the house." Frank remarked, "That's my guess."


Eddie unlocked her apartment door, and then the security team cleared to make sure it was safe. Eddie lay down on the couch, feeling bad for the officers who had to stand guard at her door. She was bored, but now she was out of the hospital, she could watch TV even if the doctor told her not to. She turned on an old TV shows, and curled up in a blanket or tried to, her cast made it a little hard to curl up. In just a few minutes she was hungry; she got up and found some potato chips, and went back to her little burro on the couch. She grabbed her phone and got comfortable. She rested her phone in her bad arm and pulled up Jamie's contact,

Eddie: Hey

Eddie didn't know when he was going to respond if he would, but she was a little lonely just sitting in her apartment alone. In just a few moments though Jamie had responded

Jamie: Feeling any better?

Eddie: Yeah, I'm home now so that's really good!

Jamie: That's great, I'm grounded to my dad's house till they catch this guy.

Eddie: Yeah, I was "recommended" to stay at my apartment till they find out what's going on.

Eddie snuggled with the blanket, finally not feeling alone. It was hard to type with only one hand but to her, it was worth it.

Eddie: I heard the baby's heartbeat today, I wish you could have been there, it was really amazing!

Jamie felt a tinge of pain in his heart, he had missed something important to their baby, but he tried to not let it bring him down. His heart was lifted slightly though, She wished he could have been there, did that mean that she wanted him involved with the kid?

Jamie: That's really great! I wish I could have been there too.
