"Do you think your Dad will stop the transfer from going through?" Eddie asked as they turned in the golf balls and clubs. Jamie took her hand in his. "Is there a chance, yes, but I think he won't. We won't be partnered together, and once the CO is told he may make sure we are on opposite shifts. We will just have to wait and see"

"Give me the run down of the 2-9. When I was there the other day it seems like there is a lot of morale issues, or lack of enthusiasm?" She asked as they made there way away from the miniature golf venue.

"There are some good cops, there but they were left with no real leadership. They like short cuts and in my opinion have a work ethic problem" Eddie looked over to him.

"You know you can't just make them do it your way. You will have to show them that your way is one way to be a good cop. Like you showed me" Jamie smiled.

"You wanted to be a great cop and I think that desire is what is lacking. It's like they just don't care" Jamie sighed. "I'm not sure how to correct that. Shipping them out to another house isn't going to fix the problem but make it someone else's and that could lead to more problems down the road."

"You may not be able to correct it Jamie. You teach them and show them the expectations and if they aren't cutting it then they either get shipped to another house to see if it's a matter of needing the right environment or if they should even stay in uniform." Eddie wrapped her arm around his. "You can not make every officer handle the job the way you do."

"I know some of them aren't going to make it but I don't want to let anyone down. I want to do a good job there. It's going to be a challenge. There are a few officers I feel like are already coming around and adding the five from the 12th is going to do wonders once they are used to their surroundings."

"Five? How about six" Eddie bumped his shoulder. Jamie laughed but turned serious.

"Are you sure about transferring Ed" They continued their slow stroll. "About us being in the same house? You don't want the Reagan name to overpower you and I don't want you to regret your decision." She turned to him and stopped.

"I know that I said some distance could be a good thing, and maybe for other people it would work. The last five years I think I can count the number of days where we haven't seen each other in some form on one hand" She reached for his hand to link their hands together. "In the last few weeks we have spent more days without seeing each other than the last few years combined" Jamie squeezed her hand, and brought it up to his lips to kiss the back of her hand.

"Eddie, us not seeing each other every day isn't a reason for you to transfer to the 2-9" He kept his eyes on her.

They walked down the walkway along the river. With them being on opposite shifts lately this had been their first day off together in weeks. "I am going to be honest, I have missed you lately. I feel like I don't know everything that is going on with you. It's not a feeling a like so much." Eddie said.

Jamie pulled her in closer. "I have missed you too. We have had a lot of change and there will be more on the horizon. We just have to make sure that we make the time for each other." He kissed her temple. "Captain Jacobs will need to be told about the engagement, if he doesn't already know, with the way the blue line gossip train rolls through the NYPD, he may have us on completely different shifts. We could still be like ships passing in the night"

"Oh Reagan you did not just use that cliché phrase. We have been dealing with it so far. We were very lucky to have stayed partners for as long as we were. Change is a good thing," Eddie said leaning her forehead against his shoulder.

"Are you ready for what might happen when the house knows you are marrying the new Sergeant." Jamie questioned.

"These officers have a chip on their shoulder and having the commissioners son in the house seems to have made it worse. Add in his future daughter in law, future sergeants wife to mix and you could get blackballed" He continues as Eddie looked down at her hands as she was playing with her fingernail.

"I am not worried about getting black balled from the other officers. I can handle my own problems. The 2-9 sounds like a zoo and I know I can help get it under control."

"Hey remember those vows we just said, we handle problems together, like we always have. You are not alone Eddie." Jamie firmly stated. "I do have a questions for you though" he asked. Eddie nodded her head for him to continue. "If the time comes where I have to give you rip or suspend you, will we have a problem?" Jamie asked.

Eddie looked ahead at the skyline "Let's be honest it's not if, it will be when." She smiled. "Jamie I do not want you treating me different because of our relationship. We have to find our new normal in this" Jamie stopped her to lean against the railing along the river.

"If I have to reprimand you then I will. This is not going to be easy though, we are used to having each others backs and that is not going to change but I am not your partner anymore." Eddie nodded her head.

"Are you sure you are okay with me transferring over? I don't want to cramp you're style or anything and I do miss working with you" She looked over to him. "I know we won't be riding together but just being in the same house and working with the same officers, we can still work together in a way." Jamie just looked straight ahead. "Come on Jamie, don't go all dark and quiet"

He stopped walking and turned to her. "Are you sure you can handle working in the precinct where other officers are going to be talking smack about me? I am a boss now and people are not going to agree with me or like me, heck you may not even like me bossing you around" He smirked. Eddie popped him in the shoulder.

"Oh please Reagan, you do know you have been bossing me around for five years now. I am used to it."

"We will have to find the balance at work. It will be another adjustment. We don't always agree and I have a feeling that will happen more so now that I am a boss. You are a great cop and the 2-9 has some major issues in one of the hardest areas of the city. This house needs you" he said sincerely.

"Well I did have a pretty damn good training officer even if he is a boy scout." Jamie rolled his eyes. "You love that I am a boy scout." She wrapped her arms around his waist pulling him in closer "I guess it does have its pros." She leaned up and kissed him. As he went to deepen the kiss she stepped back. "Come on Jamie, you're taking me to Jenkins Diner." He pulled on her arm to stop. "Are we going to recreate the entire proposal day, cause if we are I say we skip Jenkins and head straight back to the apartment" He kissed her again. "Except we don't have to leave the bed for family dinner" He kissed her again and slowly moved down her neck.

"Easy there Sergeant Reagan we still are in a public place. I think I can be persuaded to skip the diner if you do something for me" Eddie whispered in his ear, then pulled away to pull him closer to the parking lot to the mustang.

"Oh I plan on doing something alright," she laughed.

"Hold on to that thought till we get home. After the cold blue your family pulled at dinner last week I want to repay the favor." Her eyes lit up at the thought.

"What do you have in mind" Jamie smirked. "I would love to see them be put on the spot for sure"

"I was thinking I could mess something up at dinner, then get them to gang up on me, I act like I'm all upset and excuse myself" Eddie's eyes were dancing when she gets excited. It is one of his favorite looks.

"That would definitely work. I think I know what you can mess up, we can iron out the details on the way home and then we can recreate our proposal afternoon by not leaving the bedroom" He opened the passenger side for her.

She leaned up to kiss him. "Sounds like a plan to me" They got in the car and drove back to his apartment ironing out the details on the plan to bunk the family.
