I don't own these characters, just a fan wanting to tell a story!
Eddie and Jamie waited in the doctor's room. A nurse had already come and taken her temperature and her blood pressure. Eddie always hated waiting, she wasn't a patient person. She kept nervously glancing at her watch, she knew she had an appointment with Erin and the new lawyer. After a few moments of waiting knock came at the door.
"Hello." Dr. Perry said entering the room. "How are you doing today?"
"I'm doing well." Eddie answered.
"How's the morning sickness?" Dr. Perry inquired.
"I actually haven't had too much of an issue with it." Eddie replied. "Except, for brussel sprouts."
"That's good that your doing better, but I understand the brussel sprouts, I'm not even pregnant and those can get me sick." Dr. Perry laughed.
"Have you felt the babies moving?" Dr. Perry questioned.
"Yes I have." Eddie said. "I felt the first kick last week, I think."
"How have you been sleeping, are you getting enough sleep?" Dr. Perry asked writing down a few things in her chart.
"Oh, sleeping has been fine." Eddie lied. She didn't think her OBGYN need to know about her nightmares or that she hadn't sleep very much the week Jamie was in the hospital. Those were work related, not pregnancy.
Dr. Perry glanced at Jamie who had frowned when Eddie said she was sleeping fine.
"Want to disagree?" Dr. Perry hinted. She had noticed that Jamie was a wheelchair, which she didn't remember him being in the last time she saw the couple.
"Jamie, I sleep enough." Eddie objected.
"She's been having really bad nightmare the past couple weeks." Jamie stated, turning to Dr. Perry, ignoring Eddie's objections, "But that could just be our profession, it comes with a lot of baggage."
"You guys are both cops right?" Dr. Perry clarified.
"Yeah." Eddie answered reluctantly.
"It's a very high stress job, and I know Eddie has been under a lot of stress. I got shot last week and she was with me in the hospital." Jamie explained."So the short answer is no, she isn't getting enough sleep."
Dr. Perry focused intently on Jamie's words.
"Do you feel like you are under a lot of stress?" Dr. Perry questioned turning back to Eddie.
Eddie thought for a few moments, "Yeah I guess, but I'm sleeping better now that I'm back home instead of being with Jamie in the hospital." Eddie answered.
"Well, if you don't start getting 8-10 hours a sleep a night, I might want to prescribe some medication to help." Dr. Perry stated. "And if the nightmares get really bad, there is treatment for that as well."
Eddie nodded, she didn't want to have to be put on medication so she decided she was going to work getting more sleep into her schedule.
The rest of the appointment when off well. They went to a different room to have another ultrasound done. Eddie and Jamie decided against finding out the sex of the babies, wanting to be surprised.
Erin twirled her a pen between her fingers. What was she going to do, call Eddie and cancel the appointment? She leaned forward and rested her face on her hands A knock came at the office door.
"Come in," Erin said, looking up and seeing Sydney standing in the doorway.
"Hi." She said, her voice soft, there was a fake sweetness about it that Erin had grown to deteste when she still attended Sunday dinner.
"Officer Janko is running a late." Erin stated."You can take a seat, until she gets here."
"Thanks." Sydney replied smiling, making Erin almost grimace. She had never liked Sydney, not even when she was Jamie's fiancée. Now that she had no reason to care for her,she didn't.
"Who knew that one day we would be going against each other in the courtroom?" Sydney smirked. She was looking forward to being able to say she beat the famous Erin Reagan, it helped that she never truly cared for Erin.
"Oh, I won't be prosecuting the case, the D.A. just asked me set up the meeting. I know the star witness for the defense. If you win, people would be concerned I threw the case."
"How is the family?" Sydney inquired taking a seat, wanting to change the subject.
"They are doing well." Erin answered shortly, she didn't really care for continuing the conversation.
"Is Nicki in college now?" Sydney asked.
"Yes, she is attending Columbia." Erin replied.
A knock came at the door.
"Eddie, come in," Erin welcomed.
Sydney saw this woman and immediately felt jealous, but didn't know why. Her bright green eyes sparkled, and Sydney couldn't help but notice her very pregnant stomach. Erin rose gracefully from her chair and embraced Eddie.
"How's Jamie?" Erin questioned. Sydney was surprised to hear Erin ask this question, she scanned the woman's hands and saw no ring.
"Better, he was trying to walk around yesterday." Eddie informed. "Oh, we had another ultrasound today!" Eddie exclaimed, reaching into her purse and pulling out an ultrasound picture to show to Erin.
"This is twin A and this is twin B." Eddie explained, pointing to the babies in turn on the ultrasound.
"Did you guys find out their sexes?" Erin inquired.
"No, I want it to be a surprise, even though I think Jamie wanted to know, he kept hinting in that direction." Eddie answered.
Sydney cleared her throat to remind Erin that she was sitting there. Erin had purposely forgotten her, she wanted her to hear the news that Jamie was taken now.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." Erin mocked. "Sydney, this is Officer Eddie Janko."
Sydney's heart fell, she wanted to believe that Jamie wasn't taken, but by Erin's reaction, she knew that this woman was with Jamie and pregnant with twins.
"Eddie, this is Amanda's attorney, Sydney Davenport." Erin introduced. "And Jamie's ex." She whispered under her breath just loud enough for only Eddie to hear.
