I don't own these characters just a fan wanting to tell as story. Hope you enjoy!
Eddie woke up early the next morning, to a familiar sick feeling in her stomach. She quickly got up and went to the bathroom. She was bending over the toilet, holding her hair back with a good hand but she soon found that her hand was replaced by someone else hand and soothing hand on her back. She felt the warmth and kindness of these movements and she knew who it was without having to look.
Jamie knelt beside her, holding her hair, and trying to soothe her. He felt bad that this was what all pregnant women went through.
"I hate being pregnant." Eddie sighed, sitting back slightly.
"I can bet," Jamie replied, letting go of Eddie's hair.
"Could you get me a glass of water," Eddie questioned, "I should be fine now."
"Yeah," Jamie said quietly, as he got up.
Eddie brushed her teeth to get the foul taste out of her mouth. Jamie came back not much later holding a glass of water in his hand.
"Thanks, and thanks for holding back my hair." Eddie said gratefully, taking the glass from him, "How did you know I was up?" she questioned taking a long sip of water.
"I was already awake and then I heard you heading to the bathroom." Jamie stated, "I was about to go head to make breakfast, do you want any?"
"Not right now, my stomach is still mad at me." Eddie said, "Though some coffee would be nice, it has to be decafe, pregnant women aren't supposed to have caffeine." She added as they walked down the stairs.
"I think Dad has some lying around the house," Jamie stated.
He worked around the kitchen making eggs, while Eddie sat at the kitchen table sipping coffee. He liked waking up and Eddie already being there, her hair was down, she wore a tank top and flannel pajama pants. Her arm brace only reminded him of her strength and why she did her job. She looked truly beautiful in the light at that was shiny through the windows. Her face was tranquil; the only blemish was the cut on her head from the accident. Jamie wasn't sure if he was imagining it or not but her stomach looked less flat, a little more round. Jamie found himself wondering, what if this was his morning every morning, waking up to having Eddie nearby and not on the other side of town, what would it be like if he didn' have to hide how he felt all the time he could express it anytime he wanted. The thought of their kid being moved from one house to another for some reason made him uneasy.
Jamie wasn't the only one think these thoughts, the idea of having Jamie near her was very appealing to Eddie, the picture of him in the kitchen cooking was comforting to Eddie, having someone to talk to in the morning, to get her glass of water after she had thrown up he was always to kind and understanding.
"Where are your dad and grandpa?" Eddie questioned,
"Dad is at work and pops is at a fundraiser meeting." Jamie stated, flipping the eggs in the pan, "What did dad want to talk to you about last night?"
"He just wanted to tell me, I was welcome in the family." Eddie replied, "He was actually really sweet about it like I am an honoree Reagan now."
"Woah, I didn't expect that from him," Jamie said, he was in slight disbelief.
"Yeah, he's really nice; I don't understand why everyone is so scared of him," Eddie remarked.
"Well, you should see him when he's not being nice and then you would understand." Jamie asserted.
There was a peaceful silence.
"Jamie, how do you want to tell your family I'm pregnant?" Eddie questioned, breaking the silence.
Jamie sighed, "I have no idea, dad already knows and he was the one I was worried about the most. But Danny and Erin may have some choice words about us being partners."
"We could tell them together," Eddie suggested, taking a sip of her coffee.
"Um, that might not be a good idea; Danny might say something he would regret." Jamie said, "Maybe it would be best if I told them, and then you could avoid the fallout, they won't be mad at you, just at me."
"Jamie, I don't mind being there if you want me," Eddie said, reaching across the table and taking his hand.
"I really don't want you to get the wrong impression of my family, because this news isn't going to go over well," Jamie said, squeezing Eddie's hand gently.
"Okay," Eddie said with a smile, she trusted Jamie to do it his way.
"Eddie, how do you want to tell your family?" Jamie asked, turning the question back on her.
"My dad already knows, and I plan on never telling my mother," Eddie stated,
"Wait you told your dad?" Jamie inquired,
"Yeah, I went to see him on Sunday, I was confused and I didn't know what to do so I went and talked to him. I was on my way home from seeing him when I got hit." Eddie explained.
"How did he take it?" Jamie probed.
"He was happy for me, he told me I should tell because the baby is yours too, that's why I message asking if we talk." Eddie detailed.
"Why do plan on never telling your mother?" Jamie questioned, he didn't understand Eddie's aversion to her mother.
"Have you met my mom?" Eddie scoffed, "She would tell me that it was brilliant to sleep with the commissioner's son so I could try and get some leverage on my father's sentence and it was a pro that I got pregnant"
"I see," Jamie said looking at his cup. He didn't see but he didn't think this was a good topic to discuss.
The sound of the front door opening caused their hands to break apart as Danny entered.
"Hey," Danny greeted, walking into the kitchen, "Janko, I didn't know you were staying here." He added looking surprised to see his brother's partner sitting at the kitchen table in her pajamas.
"The doctor doesn't want her alone and the security is better here." Jamie lied quickly.
"Well, it will save me the trip; I need you guys to tell me everything about an arrest you made the perp was Carrie Walsh," Danny stated.
"It was one of the easiest drug busts ever, we were walking by, we saw a bag of cocaine drop out of her bag, she stopped picked it up and put it back in her bag, we arrested her with fifty grams on her," Eddie stated, taking a sip of her coffee.
"You know she OD one day after posting bail?" Danny inquired.
"Yeah, but she was a doctor at St. Vincent who got caught dealing drugs and was five hundred thousand dollars in debt and going to fifteen in prison, overdosing was the easy way out," Jamie remarked,
"Did the detectives tell you that she told her defense attorney said she was willing to turn states witness against her supplier and that her death looked like a homicide?" Danny questioned.
"No, they never told us that," Eddie said, turning to look at Danny.
"Yeah, we think it her supplier is the one targeting you guys," Danny said firmly, "did she ever mention where she was getting the drugs?"
"No, we didn't spend much time with her, it was near the end of the tour so we just took her back to the precinct and she lawyered up immediately." Jamie articulated.
"Well, thanks for no help." Danny sighed,
Eddie stood up quickly from the table.
"Excuse me," She said quietly and hurriedly and bolted from the room and the sound of the bathroom door closing echoed back.
"Your partner okay?" Danny quizzed.
"Yeah, just morning sickness." Jamie found himself saying before he could stop it. "
"Morning sickness?" Danny repeated, "Janko is pregnant, I didn't know she was married."
"She not," Jamie said quickly.
"Well, had a boyfriend." Danny corrected,
"She doesn't have one," Jamie replied, looking at his shoes.
"No, no, no." Danny said as he realized what was going, "You are screwing your partner; she's pregnant with your kid?" Danny added exasperatedly
Jamie wouldn't lie about this, "Yeah she's pregnant with my kid, but we only did it once and we were both drunk."
"Does dad know?" Danny interrogated,
"Yes, he knows," Jamie answered, avoiding eye contact with his older brother.
"How screwed are you?" Danny asked, rubbing his hand across his temple.
"So far I'm not, Dad is taking it very well," Jamie admitted, looking up slightly.
"Is that why she's here because you knocked her up?" Danny probed.
"No, it's not like that!" Jamie exclaimed, "She's here because she can't use her arm to do any tasks and because it's safer here than at her apartment."
"Please tell me you are going do right be her," Danny said, purposefully catching Jamie's eye.
"Of course what kind of man do you think I am?" Jamie demanded,
"That's not what I meant," Danny said quickly,
"Then what did you mean?" Jamie asked angrily.
"Forget it, just being a dad is hard and being cop dad is even harder, each day you have to say goodbye to you kids never knowing if you are going to see them again that night." Danny said, "It's going to be rough and there are going to be days you will want to walk out and being a single mother is rough, especially when she's a cop." Danny added.
"You seem to be doing okay," Jamie remarked,
"Well, I have Linda, you don't." Danny replied, "She is my sanity."
"Well I have Eddie and she's a damn good partner, we didn't plan this kid but I'm glad I'm having it with her it had to be someone." Jamie confessed, "And we are going to do it together even if it's as friends and not a couple."
"Do you care about her?" Danny asked,
"Yeah, she's my partner," Jamie stated, emphasizing partner.
"Jamie, do you care for her." Danny defined.
Jamie was quiet, "What would it matter if I did." He said after a few moments
"Biaz is still in the car, I should go," Danny said, glancing around the room
"Please don't tell anyone about Eddie and me, Dad doesn't want it getting into the wrong hands," Jamie stated hurriedly.
"I won't," Danny assured, "Take care," and Danny was gone.
"Well, that's over." Jamie sighed, hoping that Danny wasn't thinking too badly of him.
Danny and Biaz were back at the precinct interrogating a witness to the 12th precinct shooting when a knock came on box door.
Danny opened the door.
"What?" He demanded, "Were kinda busy right now."
"There's a woman her saying she has information about the 12th attacks." The officer said,
"Well, take her statement and put it on my desk." Danny barked,
"I can't she says she will only talk to you." The officer replied.
"Fine," Danny sighed, leaving the box. He saw Dr. Tanner sitting by his desk, her face was streaked with tears and her lip was busted.
"Dr. Tanner, what are you doing here?" Danny questioned.
"I swore an oath to do no harm and I have broken that oath," Dr. Tanner said shakily, "I'm here to turn myself in, as an accessory for the murder of Detective Lopez and the attempted murder of Detective Davis, Officer Reagan, and Officer Janko." She stated clearly, so the whole room heard her statement.
Hope you enjoyed that chapter! I have a question for you guys, I'm thinking about whether or not Eddie is having twins. I have my opinion on the subject and I have a plan but I would really would love to know if you guys think she should have twin or a single. I love you guys and thanks for all the support. Also after naming "Carrie Walsh" I realized how similar it is to "Kara Walsh" which is a character in the show. Just to clarify they are not connected at all.
