I don't own these characters just a fan wanting to tell a story. Hope you Enjoy!
Eddie felt the cold metal press against the back of her. She was fighting for each breath.
"Hey let's talk about this," Danny was saying,
"What is there to talk about, I'm the one with the gun!" Aaron cried Eddie, winched feeling him push the metal against her head.
"I just want to get out of the country a free man," Aaron said calming himself.
"We can't let that happen but if you put that gun, you might be able to walk out with a little less time in prison," Danny replied calmly.
"No!" Aaron screamed, "Put your guns on the ground or I will shoot her." He commanded, backing away slightly. Then the sound of a single gunshot echoed through the house. The aim was true. Eddie screamed as she felt herself start to fall forward as the arm holding her went limp. She was caught in the arms of Jamie.
"Shh, it okay," Jamie soothed, "I got you."
Eddie broke into sobs burying her head in Jamie's chest. She was safe, she was in his arms. He held her close, happy to just feel her alive and moving. Jamie couldn't help but glare at the lifeless body of Aaron Keller a bullet through his head.
Any officer who saw them saw that this wasn't just partners reuniting.
"Danny we need to get her to a bus," Jamie stated, seeing the blood on Eddie's leg. Danny nodded as he searched to see where the shoot had come from. Baez was right behind them.
"That son of a bitch was going to kill her from suffocation," Baez spat, "I couldn't let that happen."
"Nice shot," Danny said, with a smile as he helped his brother lift a sobbing Eddie down the stairs to the waiting ambulance.
Jamie held her hand the whole ride in the Ambulance while a medic was working on the gash in her leg. Eddie's emotions had calmed slightly, but she still shook violently and every time she thought she had cried all the tears in her body a few more tears would manage to appear. But what about the babies, were her babies okay.
"Amanda?" Eddie demanded, remember the gunshots.
"She's on her way to the hospital," Jamie replied, squeezing Eddie's hand.
"She saved my life; she was the one who sent the message on my phone," Eddie explained.
"Who beat her up?" Jamie questioned.
"Her husband, he found out she was helping me," Eddie remarked.
"I'm so sorry you had to go through that Eddie," Jamie said, his voice was full of unexpressed emotion. Seeing how shaken up Eddie was if Biaz hadn't killed him, Jamie had been about to. She just pulled the trigger first.
"It's not your fault," Eddie said with a sniff.
"How do you know that?" Jamie inquired, his eyes glistening.
"Because I would have still been a target just because I locked up Carrie Walsh." Eddie reminded, in her effort to calm Jamie she herself had calmed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jamie was sent into a waiting room while they checked out Eddie. Jamie couldn't sit he paced, he had only just gotten Eddie back and now she was gone from him again. The image of the gun next to her head kept flashing back into his mind, what if Aaron had pulled the trigger, Eddie would have been gone, his kids would be gone. He didn't know how long he paced but a few hours after Eddie had been taken back, a nurse came out.
"Are you here for Edit Janko," The nurse asked.
"Yes," Jamie said,
"You can see her know," The nurse said leading Jamie back to a curtained off room.
Eddie lay on the hospital bed when she saw Jamie a smile came to her lips.
"The babies are okay!" She said quickly, once he was in the room.
"Thank God." Jamie breathed, as the nurse left.
A doctor came in.
"Hi again," She said to Eddie, she had been the doctor treating her in the back, "I have a deal to propose, I understand that you have been away from home and you really want to go home. I willing to let you go home under the condition you have someone stay with you and you stay on bed rest.
"I'll make sure she does," Jamie assured.
"Thanks," Eddie said, knowing that the doctor had pulled some strings to get Eddie discharged now.
"Well, I'll go grab the paperwork." And the doctor left.
"We will just have to go to my place, not yours," Jamie remarked, as soon as the doctor was gone.
"Why?" Eddie questioned.
"Your elevator is out and there is no way in hell you are climbing three flights of stairs right now," Jamie explained.
"Okay," Eddie agreed reluctantly.
Eddie was exhausted after the taxi cab ride to Jamie's apartment. But she needed a shower, she didn't care that she wasn't supposed to use her leg or that her arm brace wasn't waterproof. She just wanted to wash away the oil and grime from her body
"Jamie do you have any clothes I can borrow?" Eddie questioned seeing she was still in the clothes when she was kidnapped. Jamie shut the apartment door behind them
"Yeah, I'll find some while you shower." Jamie nodded, handing her a bag to wrap around her cast.
Eddie changed the best she could, and after a few moments figured out how to turn Jamie's shower on. She savored the hot water that now seemed to wash away the pain of that day. The grim, the dirt, the emptiness of that house. She attempted to wash her hair, but mostly just letting the water cleanse everything away. She lay the hot water feeling good on the bruises that were forming on her body.
A knock on the door made her jump.
"Eddie are you okay?" Jamie questioned,
"Yeah, I'm fine I'll be out in a minute," Eddie replied, wondering how long she had been in the shower.
"I left the clothes on the bed," Jamie said.
"Thanks," Eddie's voice was weaker than she wanted it to be.
She wrapped herself in a towel and peaked her head out the door to find a t-shirt and sweat pants on the bed and Jamie nowhere in sight. She slipped on the clothes, they were too big and she had to roll up the pants because they were too long but they smelled like him and it made her feel safe. Eddie limped into the living room and saw Jamie setting up a makeshift bed on the couch.
"Is the game on?" Eddie questioned, startling Jamie not hearing her coming into the room.
"Yeah, I think so," Jamie replied, as Eddie carefully sat on the couch, stopping Jamie from finishing his bed making.
"Do you want to talk about what happened?" Jamie asked sitting beside her.
"No, not really?" Eddie answered, not honestly. She wanted to tell him how she had heard Amanda's cries for mercy. How Aaron had slammed her into the wall for not moving fast enough. How she wasn't sure she would ever see a gun without remembering how it felt have on pressed to her head.
Jamie took her hand and placed a hand under her chin forcing her to meet his eyes.
"Eddie you can talk to me," Jamie promised,
"I know, but I'm just not ready." Eddie admitted, "Can we just watch something and forget about it for a little while."
"Sure, what do want to watch?" Jamie asked.
It was a few hours of watching the football game before Eddie started to drift off on the couch. Jamie wanted to ask how she got the bruise that had formed on her cheek, or how her leg had been slashed. Right now he knew thought to ask might hurt her more.
"Hey, you should go to bed," Jamie said,
"I'm too tired to move," Eddie groaned pulling the throw blanket tight around her.
"I'll carry you," Jamie stated, putting an arm under Eddie's knee's being careful to avoid the stitches and one around her shoulders. He lifted her easily and carried her the short distance to his room. Eddie didn't protest that he was carrying her, she liked how close he was. He carefully lay her on the bed. He was about to tuck the blankets around her when she grabbed his arm.
"Stay with me," She asked, "I don't want to be along tonight!"
Jamie was about to say something but stopped the pleading in her eyes made his heart hurt.
"Yeah," he said quietly, "I'll stay," he promised.
Eddie scooted over, while Jamie turned off the lights. Jamie lay down next to Eddie; she pulled his arms around her and buried her head in his chest. Taking a deep breath, she remembered she was safe in his arms. His warm helped warm her and stopped the shaking that had persisted through the night.
"Don't leave," she whispered,
"I wasn't thinking of it," Jamie said, holding her close.
Eddie drifted off in his arms, but Jamie couldn't sleep, he had almost lost her. She had almost died; He kissed her forehead and whispering very quietly in the dark. "I love you, Eddie," and then he soon slipped off to sleep.
