I don't own these characters just a fan wanting to tell a story. Hope you enjoy!
"So they were both drunk, that's no excuse!" Henry grumbled to Frank after everyone had left, "As soon as feeling got involved they should have asked for new partners."
"Well, pops can't change it now, I think they are great together," Frank remarked, turning the page of his book.
"This will be the first Reagan born out of wedlock," Herny reminded, "never thought I would see it in my time."
"Times change and a kid would be the only wake-up call, Jamie and Eddie would take to get their act together and see that they care for each other." Frank protested,
"It's just not right," Henry sighed, pouring Frank and himself glasses of scotch.
"well, there's nothing we can do for it, all we can do is hope for the best," Frank replied, "And these kids are going to be loved and taken care of even if they don't get married pop's Eddie is now a part of the family even if it wasn't the convention way."
"Yes, I guess you are right." Henry relented,
Jamie's alarm woke him from his peaceful slumber.
"No," Eddie groaned turning over and holding Jamie too her.
"I have to go to work," Jamie objected, turning off his alarm.
"Can't you bang in sick?" Eddie asked, looking at him pleading in her eye.
That thought was very tempting, the woman in his bed was asking him to say with her, how could he say no, but the reminder that he had already missed two days, and that rent needed to be paid he sighed.
"I need to start getting used to a new partner sooner or later and you are meeting with Rensuzil today," Jamie said, not wanting to leave.
"why are you always right?" Eddie questioned rolling over so she wouldn't have to see his smug face. He kissed her bare shoulder, "Because," that was all his reply. He got dressed quickly, made coffee and breakfast and left for the department. He had already told his sergeant that he and needed a new partner, but he wasn't looking forward to work. He was sure that the rumors of Eddie's pregnancy had hit the rumor mill, and some people had heard what he had said on the other side of glass he knew for sure. He wasn't looking forward to the backlash that was going to come from his partner being pregnant with his kids. He avoided talking to the guys in the locker room, but their talk seemed to stay clear of Eddie and his situation. After role-call Renzuile called Jamie to him.
"Reagan, can I see you in my office?" Renzulli had asked.
"Yes, sir," Jamie said coming into the office.
"How is Officer Janko doing?" He questioned, motioning for Jamie to take a seat.
"She's recovering but I think there may be some emotional damage," Jamie responded.
"I have meeting with her today about what to do next and I have already heard that she is pregnant with twins. I am going to ask her a question at that meeting, and I would prefer if you were both upfront with me. What's been going these past few months?" Renzuile demanded, Jamie knew he would be kind but justice
"What do you want to know?" Jamie questioned, knowing full well what his trainer officer wanted to know.
"Harvard, it's not a secret the way you two defend each other and now she's pregnant I just want the truth."
"The truth is we were professional, and then one day we had too much to drink and one thing led to another. Two months later, Eddie found out she was pregnant, and that's the honest truth." Jamie stated, being sure to leave out the fact that Eddie was now living with him and also the fact that drunken night wasn't the only night anymore.
"You should have come to me after that first night and asked for new partners even if there hadn't been kids." Tony reprimanded, "I'm going to talk to my superiors about what is best to do next, just make sure you know, this is going to make it up to 1-PP, just commissioners how you want to tell your old man.
"I already did," Jamie stated,
Tony gave a nod of approval, right now you will be riding with the rookie Officer Noble, teach him the ropes and then we will find what to do next."
"Yes sir," Jamie replied,
"You are dismissed." Tony said, Jaime stood and started to leave when, "Congratulations, I'm sure they will be adorable but they will also have one of the best cop duo's as parents."
"Thanks, sir," Jamie said with a smile, at the compliment and the congratulations.
Eddie lay in bed, she didn't want to get up she just wanted to lay there all day. But eventually, she was able to pull herself, out of bed. She pulled on one of Jamie's T-shirts, she couldn't help but smile when she noticed that yesterday's clothing was thrown hap-hazzardly around the bedroom. She walked to the bathroom and brushed teeth, she noticed the black and yellow bruise on her face. Her hand lighting brushed across the tight skin. She remembered clearly how it had stung when he had slapped. She tried to put the thought behind her, she quickly finished up in that bathroom, picked up hers and Jamie's clothing and started to make the bed. When she noticed that the dull ache that had been throbbing in her leg was mostly gone. She rejoiced that it was gone, she was tired of it interfering with her daily activities.
She glanced at the clock, she didn't have to be at the precinct till one o'clock and it was already ten. She walked around the apartment, tidying things up and positioning things just a little better. Giving it "a woman touch". After about an hour of tidying up, she approached the task of trying to cover up the bruise on her face with make-up. She tried to use foundation but she couldn't get it to look even because of how dark the bruise was, she tired concealer but it too failed. It was hard enough to do makeup with just one hand let alone. She sighed and wiped off the makeup, and just did a simple eye look hoping no one would look at her strangely. She got dressed into a pair of jeans and a white flowy blouse, something she had picked up from her apartment yesterday, before mass. When she buttoned the jeans she noticed they were tighter way tighter than they used to be. She looked in the mirror and sure enough, her flat waist was rounding out. She sighed, but it wasn't an unhappy sigh, but it also wasn't a happy one. She was glad she was started to show, but it also reminded herself that she was going to be gaining a lot of weight, she was carrying twins and her body was never going to be the same after. She slipped her shoes on.
"Should I grab my crutch?" She asked herself, as she walked to the door, the pain in her leg was coming back with a vengeance from her walking around the apartment that morning. Reluctantly she went back and grabbed her crutch and limped down the stairs.
Her stomach was doing flip-flops as she waited for Renzuilli to finish before he could see her. It was too long before he opened his door and called her in.
"How's the leg?" He asked as they took their seats.
"Better, sir," Eddie replied.
"Well, let's get down to business, it will be a couple of weeks before you could come back on the job because of your arm and leg, and when those are up you will be in your second trimester which makes you no longer able to do active duty, so when you happen I recommend that you will work with files and that stuff," Tony said, trying to make it through everything on his list.
"Sir, do you think I could take a leave absence for a little while?" Eddie questioned, "Just with everything that happened I think I might need to be off the job a little longer."
"That is completely understandable, and I will see what I can do." Tony said, kindly, "I had a talk with your old partner this morning."
"He told you?" Eddie questioned, wondering if Jamie had already told Renzuilli that he was the father.
"He said it was a drunken night, but I have a feeling there was a little more going on than he cares to admit." Tony stated, "I don't think IA will get involved, but just be on the lookout, also I have it from 1-PP they are trying to keep the story out of the papers, Reagan being the commissioner's son and all."
"I understand," Eddie nodded,
"Well, let me know when the doctor clears you to come back to work," Tony said, smiling,
"I will," Eddie said getting up.
I hope you guys like that chapter, sorry for not posting earlier but being a person who has had two concussions in the past 12-month(because i'm just plain clumsy) headaches that last days are common. So since school came first I had to do that , and when I was done I was too exhausted to write, but I"m feeling better now, so I should get back to updating everyday :)
