***I DON"T OWN THESE CHARACTERS!***
Eddie got into bed beside her boyfriend.
"So, what was my dad talking to about before I woke up?" Jamie questioned as he settled into bed.
"Oh…" Eddie hesitated. "DCPI Moore wants you to try and talk Sydney into convincing Samatha to take a deal."
"What?" Jamie exclaimed, sitting up straight.
"Don't shoot the messenger." Eddie responded pulling the blanket up.
"Sorry, I'll talk to my dad tomorrow about it." Jamie sighed.
"Do you think I shouldn't testify?" Eddie asked her hands coming to rest on her stomach.
"Why do you say that?" Jamie questioned.
"When your dad came over, he said DCPI Moore doesn't think I should testify because it will be bad for the department." Eddie explained.
Jamie didn't answer, at first.
"Do YOU think you should do it?" Jamie finally asked.
"Yes." Eddie said without hesitation. "She's facing a life sentence and my testimony will prove that she was acting under duress."
"So why are you doubting yourself ?" Jamie inquired
'Because I don't want to get the department to have bad press." Eddie shrugged. "I don't know."
"Do what your gut tells you to." Jamie stated turning to look at her.
Eddie nodded reaching to turn off the light.
"Thanks." she said softly, cuddling beside him.
"I love you." He said kissing the top of her head.
"I love you too." She said kissing his jaw.
"Do you think that both you and I considering to leave the force is an adverse reaction to you getting abducted and me getting shot." Jamie asked.
"Maybe." Eddie remarked. "But let's talk about that tomorrow."
The two drifted off to sleep.
Eddie opened her eyes slowly. She ran her arm across the side of the bed but only felt the cold sheets against her skin. She opened her weary eyes and saw the sun streaming into the windows. She sat up searching for Jamie, she saw the bathroom door was open but the smell of coffee filled her lungs. She pushed the blankets back and placed her feet down on the carpet. She stretched her arms up releasing the tension in her shoulders. She plotted her way to the kitchen. She frowned when she saw Jamie sitting at the table, coffee cup in hand as he looked over some paperwork. His wheelchair was nowhere to be seen. She leaned against the door way.
He looked up. "What, you can't expect me to use that all the time, and walking isn't too dangerous."
"The Doctor said you aren't supposed to walk for three days." Eddie protested.
"I'm being careful." Jamie exclaimed.
She glared as hard as she could at him, but then it disappeared into a smile as she walked over. She kissed him wrapping her arms around his neck. He wrapped one arm around her waist attempting to pull her closer but she pulled away.
"What are your plans for today?" Eddie questioned getting a glass from the cabinet.
"I have physical therapy then I want to talk to my dad." Jamie answered. "You?"
"Erin asked if I wanted to go to lunch with Linda and her." Eddie said filling the glass with water, coming back to the table sitting next to Jamie.
"Ah, Reagan sister lunch." Jamie said. "It's been a thing every since Danny married Linda."
Sydney smoothed her suit coat as she examined herself in the mirror. She saw Teddy moving around behind her. She wore a black pencil skirt that clung to her curves perfectly and a flowy wine red top that was tucked into her skirt and a black suit coat over it.
"Do you have court today?" Teddy questioned as he put on his own suit coat.
"No," Sydney answered. "I have a meeting with the prosecutor of Keller case." Sydney reached for her necklace and was about to secure it the clasp was removed from her hands and Teddy fastened it at her neck.
"Thanks." She said softly as his arm encircled her waist. She leaned against him as he kissed her shoulder.
"You look lovely." He said. "Any guy you may be trying to make jealous? A certain cop perhaps?"
Sydney frowned. Was she that obvious?
"Don't worry, I only noticed because you are wearing the red top that I know you know makes you look irresistible." Teddy assured.
"How'd you know it was him?" Sydney questioned.
"Unlike you, I actually watch the news. The fact Officer Janko was Jamie's partner is not lost on me. It wasn't too hard to figure out."
"I don't know why, just seeing him with that- that...She's just so different then me. She is my polar opposite. How long did it take him to move on after we were done, a week a month?" Sydney sighed falling into Teddy's embrace.
"Don't do that to yourself. You have both changed and both of you have your own lives. You were the one who walked out Sydney, do you regret it?" Teddy asked turning her in his arms to look him in the eyes.
"No." She stated firmly. "No, I don't regret it." She knew she was lying and what was worse is she could tell Teddy knew she was lying. She saw the pain in his eyes.
"Thank you for listening." She said softly caressing his cheek softly and turning to leave.
"Sydney, if you regret leaving just tell him." Teddy voiced after her.
"Why would I regret leaving him. I have you and you are way better." She lied, trying to believe it herself.
