I don't own these characters, just a fan wanting to tell a story. Hope you enjoy


Sydney sat on the sofa in her apartment in Manhattan. She held a glass of whiskey in her hand. She pulled the blanket tighter around her. She had been excited when she got this high profile case, it just might be her big break. Things hadn't gone as she planned, she caseload was mostly simple cases and she craved the attention a high profile case. Now she regretted having it, she was defending the person that had helped abduct Jamie's pregnant girlfriend. She sighed and took a sip of the whiskey, she was usually a wine person, but tonight she needed something stronger, she wanted to forget. She had planned on trying to get in contact with Jamie while she was in Manhattan, but now she knew she had waited too long. She regretted walking out that night, she regretted giving back the ring, she regretted everything that had to do with leaving him. She didn't know how lucky she was until she lost him. She had tried to date again, hell she even had a boyfriend. Except, no man ever was as good as Jamie. Did Jamie wait long after she left, or did he jump right back into the dating game? She hated the fact that Eddie was so different than her. Eddie spoke her mind, she was strong and independent and didn't care what others thought. Sydney was furious about how beautiful she was, she was everything she wanted to be and had everything that she wanted. Eddie had Jamie, Jamie's love and Jamie's kids. A tear started to fall down her cheek, she brushed it away angrily, she finished off her whiskey and poured another. She tried to keep from completely breaking down, but how could she, everything she wanted was gone and she could never get it back. She buried her face in her fluffy blanket and sobbed. A man came into the room, he was tall and muscular, his dark hair was cut short. "Hey what's wrong?" He asked sitting beside her and putting his arms around her.

She looked up from the blanket her face was red and her eyes were puffy.

"I'm fine, Teddy. " she sighed, leaning into his embrace, "Just a really stressful day." She lied.

"Are you sure," he inquired, carefully putting the hair that had freed itself from her ponytail behind her ear.

"Yeah," She nodded, "just hold me."

Teddy moved and held her close.

"Wanna talk about today?" He asked rubbing her back lightly.

"No," She muttered, "I just wanna forget about it." She buried her face in his chest.


Eddie walked into the apartment.

"How was it?" Jamie questioned, from the sofa.

"Great!" Eddie answered, "Oh, I met some today, I think you used to know her." Eddie said kicking off her shoes and running to bedroom to change into her Pjs.

"Who?" Jamie called after her.

It took a few moments for Eddie to change and wash off her makeup, but she was soon curled up with Jamie on the couch.

"Okay, so guess who I met today?" Eddie dared.

"I have no idea," Jamie answered. He was tired but he saw something was bugging her, she wanted to get it off her chest but didn't really know how.

"Sydney Davenport" Eddie revealed.

"Wait,what?" Jamie exclaimed shocked.

"Yeah, she's Amanda defense attorney." Eddie explained.

"Sydney, as in my ex?" Jamie asked confused. He didn't know she was back in town.

"Yeah" Eddie answered.

"Wow, I didn't know she was back in town." He marveled "What did you think of her?" He questioned.

"To be honest, I have no idea why you ever dated her, she is so NOT your type," Eddie remarked, grabbing a blanket and throwing it around them.

"Yeah, tell me about it." Jamie said, "When I was dating her, I thought she was my type but then when she broke up with me, I felt relief, not disappointment. Also if we had never broken up I never would have met you." Jamie said kissing Eddie's temple.

"Oh!" Eddie exclaimed. "Give me your hand!" Eddie ordered. Jamie obeyed, confused slightly, but she took his hand and placed it on her stomach.

"They are kicking again." Eddie stated.

"It must feel weird." Jamie wondered, feeling the movement under his hand.

"It does." Eddie answered. "It's a weird but good feeling." Eddie remarked.

"Eddie, I was going over some things while you were gone." Jamie stated. "There is the chanc that I won't be able to get all the movement back in my arm. Which, depending on the severity, I might not be able to go back on the force." He said taking her hand in his.

"Oh, are you okay with that?" Eddie asked softly.

"I don't know, I don't want to not be a cop, but I do have a backup plan if that is the case," Jamie answered.

"Which is?" Eddie inquired.

"Become a lawyer," Jamie stated, gauging her reaction. She didn't look displeased.

"It's an option." Eddie expressed.

"I would make more money so it would be easier to support our family and it's much safer." Jamie asserted.

"Have you talked to your family about this yet?" Eddie questioned.

"No, you are the first person I've talked to about this," Jamie admitted.

"It is an option, I would be lying if I said I would be disappointed." Eddie started, "I'm scared of you getting shot...again." She added as an afterthought/ "I can't raise our kids alone and I really want them to know their dad."

"I agree." Jamie answered. "My injuries will keep me out for about six months and that will give me plenty of time to get back into the game."

"We have some time, but we have a lot to think about these upcoming months." Eddie remarked.

"Yeah." Jamie sighed.

"What do you want to do for supper?" Eddie questioned.

A knock came at the door.

"I'll get it," Eddie sighed, getting up from her comfortable spot.

Maria Noble stood at the door, she had a casserole dish in her hands.

"Hi!" Eddie exclaimed. "Come in!"

"Oh, I don't want to be a bother, I made this lasagna for you guys though. I thought you guys might want some homemade hot food, knowing that you are busy with the case and Jamie is still recovering." Maria explained."It's fresh out of the oven."

"Oh, please come in." Eddie protested."We can't eat all this by ourselves; unless you already have dinner plans."

Maria thought for a few moments.

"Okay," Maria caved, "but I will do the dishes."

"Fair enough," Eddie said, closing the door behind Maria.
