Eddie woke up before Jamie the next morning. She hurried to the bathroom and started the water for a shower. She was surprised by the figure in the mirror. She remembered herself as a fake blond, proud of her curves, her skin was pretty bland and that was one reason she wore makeup. Now, when she glance in the mirror, she looked different, her figure had changed and her pregnant belly was much more obvious now. Her skin now glowed in way no foundation or lotion could give it and a smile now naturally played on her lips. She could tell though she hadn't been getting a lot of sleep the past couple nights. Her hair, she sighed, she needed to get it dyed again her dark brown roots were very definite now, not to others, but she knew what it was supposed to look like.

By the time she was done psychoanalyzing herself in the mirror the water was heated up. She undressed and got into the shower letting the hot water flow over her, loving the sense of illusion and reality. She felt the babies moving around, Jamie was awake and probably going to make a full recovery. Thinking about how close she was to losing him forever and having to raise their twins alone, she felt her chest tighten and freeze. The tears welled up in her eyes, and she tried to stifle the sob that escaped from her lips. She had almost lost him, but the key word was 'almost' she hadn't lost him, and he was alive and breathing in their bed. She calmed herself and finished her shower.

She dried her hair and wrapped her robe around her, making her way to the kitchen to start breakfast. As she cooked the standard eggs and bacon her mind had started to wander to her dreams before she became a cop. She always had the dream to be a famous author, but after the scandal with her father she was scared to pursue a career where her name would be out and opened to criticism, but now she felt like maybe she could try and pursue that career again. To be honest, being with Jamie opened new opportunities because she finally had someone she could trust.

Eddie heard a sound in the hallway and saw Jamie walking slowly to the kitchen.

"Jamie Reagan!" She snapped. "You stop right there!"

"Eddie," Jamie protested.

"The doctor said you aren't allowed to walk, you could tear you stitches!" Eddie exclaimed, scurrying into the bedroom to get the wheelchair.

"Sitting in this is makes me feel like I'm incapable of doing anything." Jamie complained.

"Oh hush," Eddie soothed getting him a cup of coffee, hoping that would persuade him into a better mood, "it's only for a little while."

"How are you feeling," Jamie asked, turning the conversation away from himself.

"Fine" Eddie said simply.

"Are you okay?" Jamie questioned, concern showing in his voice.

"Yeah, why would you think I wasn't." Eddie replied confused.

"When you were in the shower, I thought I heard crying, I might be wrong." Jamie started, "But I don't think I was," he finished taking her hand.

She squeezed thankful for his concern but now she was fine.

"I'm fine," She promised, "I was just thinking about how close I was to losing you and-" Eddie felt her breath catch in her throat again, "and how hard it would be for me to keep going if I lost you."

Jamie tightened his grip on her small hand.

"Well you didn't lose me, and I'm not going anywhere without you." Jamie assured.

Eddie nodded, her voice too full of emotion to speak.

"Really," Jamie stated, "I can't go anywhere without you, you push me in the wheelchair."

Eddie laughed at his joke, and her fears of losing him left her mind.


Eddie walked through the hospital doors, she had gotten a call that morning that Amanda Keller was awake. Eddie wanted to thank her for saving her life, and almost dying in the process. Eddie walked past the guard showing him her badge and entered the room. Amanda was lying in the bed. Her brown hair was knotted, her face still had some dark bruises, and she had dark circles under eyes. Her left arm was handcuffed to the hospital bed. Eddie wondered if she had any family to come be with her.

Amanda looked up and smiled at Eddie.

"Hi." She said, her voice weak.

"Hi," Eddie replied.

"How are you doing?" Amanda inquired, sitting up a little straighter.

"I'm doing well." Eddie answered, "I'm sorry about your husband."

Amanda shook her head, "No, don't be. He made his choice, he knew the consequences. I should have stopped him before he kidnapped you." Amanda said firmly.

"It's not your fault Amanda, he was abusing you." Eddie reproached.

"Yes, he was abusing me but I could have left, I could have refused to help. I may not be at fault as much as I am blaming myself for, but I was more involved than I care to admit." Amanda stated looking at her hands.

"I wanted to thank you for saving my life." Eddie said softly, "You didn't just save my life but you save my life and the life of my twins."

"It was the least I could do." Amanda replied, "I am truly sorry for everything that happened."

"Yeah me too." Eddie answered."Well, I'm not supposed to see you before the trial, but I was able to pull some strings to come and thank you" Eddie stated rising and leaving.

"Thanks for coming" Amanda said softly.

"Your welcome." Eddie replied leaving. She was happy to have thanked Amanda, but seeing her reminded her how it felt to have a gun pressed to the back of her head. She subconsciously rubbed the back of her head as she walked out of the hospital.
