I don't own Blue Bloods, I'm just a fan telling a story :) Hope you enjoy!


"Jamie did you see my black heels?" Eddie demanded as she rushed through their apartment.

"I thought they were under the bed." Jamie answered as he was brewing coffee in the kitchen. "Though should you be really wearing heels-"

"If you are going to say wearing heels in 'my condition' I will shoot you." Eddie shot back.

"I was going to, I was asking because it's raining and the floors at the courthouse are slippery and as much as you try to hide it, your leg hasn't healed fully yet." Jamie relayed.

"Fine!" Eddie huffed coming into the kitchen with one pair of flats and a pair of heels. "Now be honest, which image does it give to the Jury if I wear heels or flats." Eddie added.

"Do you think they will notice?" Jamie questioned.

"I'll go with the heels." Eddie huffed, shoving her feet into the heels. Untill she was fully standing. "Hell no. Not happening." Eddie removed her heels. "It is too hard to balance those." she slipped her flats on.

"How do you feel about the trail?" Jamie asked.

" Like I have to go to the court everyday for the next couple weeks until I get called upon to testify?" Eddie sarcastically laughed.

"It won't be too bad." Jamie said walking over to her. "You are helping justice be done."

"I know, but I've never enjoyed being in court." Eddie replied.

"You'll do fine." Jamie encouraged, setting his hands on her shoulders.
"I know. It's just...I'm gonna have to talk about everything that happened and...I don't want people to think I'm weak." Eddie's voice trembled ever so slightly as the words escaped. She shrugged his hands off, and grabbed her purse. "It's stupid I know, I shouldn't be concerned, i've just been through so much and I know people already don't think alof of me because I slept with-

"Eddie, look at me." Jamie said sternly. Eddie paused, she pressed her lips together as she turned to meet his eyes.

"You are brave, and you are strong. You have been through more than most cops ever go through, and instead of doing everything you can to get the woman who assisted in what happened to you, you want to help her. If that doesn't show that you are weak, it shows how much stronger you are then the rest. They will see that." Jamie promised.

Eddie's lips turned up into a slight smile. She crossed the distance between them and pulled him into a tight embrace. "I really needed that." Eddie whispered into his chest. Jamie smiled.

"What are partners for?" He smirked.

"I love you." Eddie said.

"I love you too." He answered kissing the top of her head. "And we are going to get through this. All of this. I promise. We are going to have a great life and raise our two kids no matter what else happens."

They stood holding each other for a few moments.

"I need to head over to the court house." Eddie sighed breaking the embrace. "I'll see you this afternoon." She gave Jamie a quick goodbye kiss.

"Oh, Eddie. Don't make any plans for Friday Night." Jamie called after he opened the door.

"Why?" Eddie queried.

"It's a surprise, but just make sure that you don't have any plans." Jamie returned flashing her bright smile.

"Ugh. Can't you just tell me?" Eddie demanded.

"You'll be late. Goodbye I love you!" Jamie answered.

"You are a real pain in the ass!" was Eddie's response as the door closed, but he had seen her smile.

He reached back for his coffee, a sharp pain his arm reminded him that he still wasn't healed. He sighed softly. What was he going to do? Should he quit the force or should he stay? He rubbed his face with his hands, then he reached for his phone with his good arm. He speed-dailed the second number on his contact list.

"Hey Dad, I know its a work day, I was just wondering if you were free to stop by my place for lunch?"


Eddie had received her official supina four days ago, not from the defense but from the prosecution. She contemplated what the prosecution thought she could do for his case against Amanda Keller, as she walked up the sidewalk to the court house. Yet, she had been called to testify so she had to go to court. She made her way up the stairs of the court house it only reminding that her twins were growing fast and she was starting to feel more pregnant everyday. Observing the media outside the courthouse she pulled her jacket collar up to shield her face and made it up the stairs as quickly as she could, dodging them carefully. She made it to the courtroom without being noticed by anyone with a camera. She didn't want to become a sob story or a pawn in some political war. Erin had cautioned her, and told her she should sit on the side of the prosecution, that it would do something for the jury. To be honest Eddie didn't care about what happened, she just wanted to tell the truth, and put the past behind her so she could move one. So she and Jamie could move on. She removed her coat and sat down near the front exactly where Erin had recommended. She pressed the creases out of her blue dress and waited. The trial that would seal the fate of a woman who had hurt her, but had also helped her. She sat quietly, resting her hands on her round belly. Soon opening statements would begin and this journey's end would begin.


I hope you enjoyed that chapter, and I'm sorry for being a day late with the update. School was harder this week then I expected and I didn't have as much time for writing. For all who asked me to work Joe Hill into this story, I am trying to figure out the best way to do that, but I might not introduce him until later in the story. Possibly once the trial for Amanda is over. *Shrug* but we will how the plot thickens as to the best time to introduce him.

Love you guys and see you on Wednesday for the next update.
