Wow...it took me forever to update and for that I am sorry! I had most of this written last week but hadn't quite gotten it to where I wanted it till today. With school starting back, I haven't head much time to write. I hope to update my other fic this week as well.

I hope you like it. As always, mistakes are mine. Let me know if you see anything so I can correct it. Thanks :)

I own nothing...or the show would still be on and Walsh and Shraeger would be so much more than partners!

Chapter 4

Banks and Delahoy walked through the door that Jason Walsh had just opened. "It's scary out there man." Banks quickly stepped away from the door and went straight to the back of the diner to hide. "New Year's Eve is a bad, bad night; so many crazy people out. You never know what will happen."

Delahoy rolled his eyes, "he's been acting even more crazy than normal tonight." Delahoy looked around, noticing Casey sitting at the bar watching them. "Oh good, you're here."

Casey got a confused look on her face and stood up, "what do you mean?"

Delahoy backtracked, "oh nothing, just wanted to stop by and see what Walsh was doing on his night off, glad he isn't spending it alone. You look very nice."

"Um thanks." Casey smiled and ran her hands over the front of her dress.

"We didn't mean to interrupt, just wanted to make sure everything was okay. Let's go Leo."

Banks looked terrified, "Do we have to leave. It's so nice and quite in here."

"Yes. We just wanted to make sure they weren't working. Now we got to get back to work."

"You were sent to make sure we weren't working? What the hell? Why is this so important to the chief?" Walsh questioned Delahoy.

"Just is, you two have been driving the entire department crazy the last few weeks and Brown wants you two to take the night. Craziest night in town might make you two even worse and the rest of us really can't handle it anymore. Let's go." Delahoy grabbed Bank's arm and pulled him back towards the door.

"Bye guys. Have fun." Banks squeaked, crossing himself as he headed back out onto the New York City streets.

"We have got to figure out what is going on with everyone. Have we really been that crazy?" Casey asked as she stepped up beside Walsh, both still staring at the door that their co-workers had just excited.

"Hell, I don't know. Seems like they are the crazy ones. Let's not worry about work tonight; they have made it pretty clear we are banned from it."

Casey nodded in agreement, "So what'd you want to do?"

Jason grinned again. He grabbed Casey's hand and walked towards the side of the diner where he had placed a CD player that she hadn't noticed earlier. He flipped it on and an upbeat music spread throughout the diner.

Casey laughed, "What's this?"

Jason twirled her around, watching as her dress and hair spun around her and started dancing to the music. "It's called dancing."

"I know but why are we doing it?" Casey laughed as she quickly picked up the rhythm and stepped in beat beside her partner, "I didn't know you danced."

"Oh Miss Shraeger, there are a lot of things you don't know about me." He spun her around once again and then twirled her back towards him.

Just as she spun into his body the song changed to a slower song. Casey started to back away from him but Jason clasped his hands around her waist and brought her body back to his. A brief smile spread across Casey face as she laid her head on his shoulder and snuggled up against him.

A memory of this very diner reappeared in Jason Walsh's mind as he remembered being a kid here on New Year's Eve many years before. He and his little brother, Jared, would only be allowed to stay up until midnight. Never following the rules though, one year Jason and Jared snuck back down from their upstairs apartment to spy on their parents.

Their father was twirling around their mother much like had had twirled around Casey just minutes before. They danced and danced to the fast pace of the music until a slow song came on. His father then wrapped his arms around his mother and kissed her on the lips.

He or his brother, he didn't remember which, said eww or gross at seeing their parents kissing and of course their mother heard them. She chased them back upstairs to their room and told them if they got out of bed again she would spank them.

Jason laughed at the memory and hugged Casey closer to him. She looked up into his eyes with a questioning look. "Just remembering something from when I was a kid. My parents use to dance like this here in the diner."

Casey smiled at the memory he relayed to her, thinking of her own parents and how she hardly ever saw them touch, much less dance.

She looked up towards Jason again and noticed him staring down into her eyes. It was as if gravity was pulling them closer and closer.

Just as Jason was about to press his lips to hers, Casey stopped and questioned, "upstairs?"

"What?" Jason replied, confused as to what she meant by upstairs.

"You said your mother would chase you back upstairs. But you were in this diner…"

Jason nodded. "There are apartments above the diner Case."

"Yeah, but you lived in them as a kid? What about down here?"

"I didn't move in down here until my parents died. We had a three-bedroom apartment upstairs. I lived there until I went to the academy. When my parents died and left me the diner, they also left me the apartment building upstairs; well me and my brother. We own it, 50-50. The apartment was too big for just me so I moved into the apartment behind the diner." Jason shrugged.

"So you own the apartments above this place? Does anyone live up there?"

"I have a few tenants who have lived up there for over 40 years. Most of them are elderly and use to pay rent to my parents. Some months I get rent and some months I don't. They've been up there so long that I don't mind when they are late, they pay me when they can. No one has moved out but I doubt I would get any new tenants if someone decided they wanted to."

"What about your parents apartment? Is anyone living in it?"

"Nope. Everything is as it was when they died a few years back. I go up every couple months just to make sure that everything is still in order. But that's about it. A tenant will call me every once in a while about a leaky faucet or a loose cabinet door and I will have to go fix it but that's pretty much the extent of my landlord duties."

"Wow, a restaurateur, a proprietor, and an officer of the law. You, Jason Walsh, are very surprising." She smiled, realizing she was still wrapped in his arms as they swayed to the slow tune.

"Surprising huh?" he questioned with a mischievous grin appearing on his lips. "I can definitely be surprising."

A look of confusion washed over Casey Shraeger's face for only a brief moment before Jason captured her lips with his own.

Truth be told, he surprised himself just as much if not more by the fact that he had kissed Casey. Her lips were so soft and something just felt right in that specific moment.

The tentative kiss slowly picked up pace and soon Casey's fingers were tangled in Jason's hair while his hands slipped down to grab her firm ass pulling her body flush against his.

Jason ground his hips into Casey's causing a soft moan escaped her lips. This abruptly pulled her back to reality and she hastily pushed him away from her. "What the hell was that?"

My two-chapter fic is already up to 4 and I'm sure will be a couple more. So?! What'd ya think? Please post and let me know, they get me to update so much faster. I hope that people are reading and enjoying this.
