I don't own these characters, just a fan wanting to tell a story. Hope you ENJOY!
"Can you believe that just five months ago we were still partners and weren't even thinking about being more, let alone having kids?" Eddie exclaimed setting the book she had been reading aside. Jamie looked up from the old law book he was absorbed in.
"Yeah," Jamie laughed, "Who knew what we were missing." He added taking her hand.
Eddie snuggled under the blanket and against Jamie's side resting her head on his shoulder.
"Yeah, now I have my own personal heater." Eddie snickered placing her cold hands on Jamie's cheeks, he pulled away in surprise, her hands felt like ice on his face.
"Why are your hands always so cold?" He questioned, taking them in his trying to warm them up.
"Because I need your warmth in my life." Eddie giggled.
Jamie moved so he could place his hands on Eddie's large stomach.
"In just a few more months we are going to be parents." He remarked softly.
"Yeah," Eddie agreed, "Jamie, there's something we need to talk about." .
"What?" Jamie questioned.
"I'm thinking about not going back on the force," Eddie hesitated, "I'm not sure I could handle the stress with two kids, knowing I would be leaving them and might not come back home. I don't want our kids to only have Dad."
Jamie was quiet, "I understand what you are saying and if it's what you want to do, I will support you, but you have time to think about it."
"WE have time to think about this, Jamie if we are going to make this relationship work we are going to have to make life-changing decisions together, not on our own." Eddie corrected.
"That is a good idea," Jamie said kissing Eddie's cheek.
Eddie turned and kissed him, thankful for the moments of quiet in their hellish life.
"What are your plans for tomorrow, besides your doctor's appointment?" Jamie asked after they sat in silence.
"I have a meeting with Erin, she set up an appointment with Amanda's attorney to get my testimony straight." Eddie answered. "I should probably go grocery shopping too and clothes shopping. I need to get some maternity clothes,You?"
"Well, considering I can't drive, I will probably just stay at home and do whatever after the doctor's appointment." Jamie sighed, "Though I need to call around for physical therapy places to help keep my legs from locking up, at least that's what the doctor told me."
Jamie moved around the apartment collecting some old law books he wanted to re-read. Eddie talking about not going back made him think about not going back either. He was a Harvard law grad for crying out loud, he had been thinking about going back into law for the past year, but now he was going to be a dad. He was going to have to provide for two kids and a girlfriend, as much as he wanted to pretend, he knew his salary wasn't going to stretch that far. He had decided he wasn't going to talk to Eddie about it, at least not yet, he still needed to think about it. He glanced at the clock, Eddie had been gone for three hours shopping. She had left early so she could get new clothes before her appointment. He missed her. He didn't know how he had survived without her living with him, she knew what he needed and just when to grab it. Her laugh and her smile brought joy to his heart in a way nothing ever had. Another thing he loved is how she would dance around and sing when she didn't think he was watching.
"I'm home!" Eddie exclaimed entering. carrying many bags, followed by Nicki with a few more bags. "And I brought my helper."
"Hey Nicki!" Jamie greeted, wheeling himself closer to the two.
"Hey Uncle Jamie!" Nicki answered.
"I ran into Nicki at the store and she helped me pick out a lot of my new clothes!" Eddie explained answering Jamie's unasked question.
"I told her I would help carry the stuff up because I knew we got a lot," Nicki added, "But I have to go and get back to homework."
"Thanks Nicki!" Eddie grinned. She was excited, she had found new clothes that made her love her pregnant body. She no longer had to wear oversized T-shirts and sweatpants. As much as she loved them, sometimes they just weren't the proper attire.
"Did you buy the whole store?" Jamie joked seeing Eddie's joyous expression over her successful shopping trip.
"Don't be an ass." Eddie laughed, matching his joking tone.
Eddie quickly put away the groceries she had bought and then went to change. She grabbed a red top that had three quarter length sleeves and a pair of maternity jeans. An invention she knew she would use after the pregnancy, definitely at Thanksgiving, for jeans. Once she was dressed she looked in the mirror, she couldn't help but smile. She loved the way she looked, the shirt hugged in all the right places, and the color was amazing with her complexion. She quickly pulled out her make-up and did a simple look but grabbed a red lipstick that matched her shirt.
"Damn," She breathed. "I look good."
Eddie walked out of the bedroom.
"Woah, you look really good!" Jamie remarked.
Eddie beamed, for the first time in a couple weeks she felt beautiful and comfortable at the same time.
"We should get ready to go to Dr. Perry's," Eddie said, grabbing a cheese stick from the fridge, she had entered the stage of her pregnancy where she was always hungry.
"Come here," Jamie beckoned her over to his wheelchair.
Eddie walked over slowly concerned with what he might do. Was he trying to trick her for some reason?
"You really look beautiful!" Jamie stated, taking her hands in his.
"Thanks!" Eddie said softly, a blush rising to her cheeks. Many guys had called her beautiful, hot, and sexy, but when Jamie said it she felt butterflies in her stomach.
Erin sat her desk as she reviewed her appointments for today. She saw a name on the list that made her do a double take.
"Morgan!" Erin called out.
"Yes?" Morgan said hurrying into the office.
"Why do I have an appointment with Sydney Davenport?" Erin questioned.
"Oh, Charles Daniel passed his case on to his partner, she's taking his place on the case," Morgan explained. "Is this a problem?"
"Maybe." Erin sighed taking off her glasses.
"May I ask why?" Morgan questioned.
"She's my brother's ex-fiancée." Erin groaned.
