"I love you" Eddie said as their hands were still threaded together. "I love you too" Jamie replied. Eddie slowly climbed out of the back of the ambulance and let go of his hand. "You are going to be sore tomorrow " Jamie said as they made their way to his patrol car.

Eddie rolled her shoulder "Yeah, I think after I finish the debrief I will take a long soak. Should help my muscles from tightening up."

"Let me get you back to the house and you can get squared away so you can take that soak." They climbed into the car and headed back to the 2-9. Once there they went their separate ways so she could debrief and write up her reports. Jamie had is own reports he had to finish up before end of tour and he had to fill in the next tours Sergeants so they knew what was going on.

Finishing up his reports and the hand off took longer then he expected and Eddie had already left. She dropped by his office but he was on the phone when she motioned to him that she was heading out. Things between them had been somewhat chilly over the last few days and they actually hadn't stayed together in three days. He checked his phone but no missed calls or texts. He didn't have his go bag with him so he planned on heading to his apartment to grab a few things and then go to Eddies. After tonight he wanted to be near her. He knew he probably overreacted by jumping in to the op but Davis had been wrong to let it go that long. He should have known better, once the creep made a play for the bag they could have gone in but no he wanted to get a bigger catch and he put Eddie in danger to do it. Jamie was gripping the steering wheel as he felt his anger rise again. Something worse could have happened and that fear was what made him jump in tonight, that fear was why his heart was pumping fast. He didn't know when it happened but Eddie became the most important person in his life. He had to make sure she understood where he was coming from. They were still getting used to their new relationship. He shook his head, it was naïve to think that nothing would change once they acknowledged and acted on their feelings but they were wrong.

Jamie unlocked his apartment door and was surprised to find the lights on in the living room on. He knew he didn't keep the lights on when he left home. When he walked into the kitchen a small smile formed on his face. Eddie's purse was on the counter next to a bag from the all night deli down the street. As he was checking what she had brought for dinner he heard a small splash sound coming from the hallway.

He made his way to the bathroom in the hall and slowly pushed the door open leaning up against the door jam. Eddie was lying in the bathtub filled with bubbles her head resting on a rolled up towel under her neck. Her pink painted toes resting against the other side of the tub peeking out from the bubbles. "So I see you are taking advantage of my tub." He stated as he continued to enjoy the view. She rolled her head to the side and opened her eyes "Your tub is bigger" she replied. She held out her hand to him. He moved across the bathroom and knelt down on one knee next to the tub taking her hand in his.

"Are we okay" she quietly asked. "Yeah babe we are fine. I think this whole thing just reminds us that things have changed. We have new roles to get used to on the job and off." He brought her wet hand up to his to kiss the back of it.

"I don't like when we argue, it leaves me unsettled" She replied as she gripped is hand harder. "Eddie as long as we talk these things out and don't let them fester we will be okay." She nodded her head as she closed her eyes. Jamie started rubbing her hand up to her shoulder and back.

"OH Reagan, that feels good" she sighed. "How are you feeling?" he asked as he continued to rub up and down the arm he was holding.

"A little sore. Happens when you practically get body slammed to the concrete. I will be fine" She opened her eyes and met his. She leaned up when she saw his expression change. She reached her hand up to his cheek and he leaned into her hand. "Jamie I am fine, I'm sure I will have some bruises but nothing major at all." He kissed her palm. "It could've been worse," he whispered.

"Jamison" she spoke softly "we can't get caught up it what could have happened. We can only worry about what did." He leaned forward and kissed her. "I know, but since we finally made the decision to stop pretending I know how much you mean to me and if there is a way, anyway I can keep you safe and happy then that is my job to do that, to protect you. Not just as your Sergeant on the job but as the man who loves you." Her eyes softened as she felt the weight of his words.

"You know that goes both ways don't you? I want to keep you safe and happy too." She said as she leaned forward and kissed him again.

He stood up and started pulling off his clothes. Soon completely naked "Scoot forward" he asked. She scooted forward and slipped in behind her, Eddie's back against his chest his legs resting around her hips, his hands wrapped around her middle holding her close, she moved her head to rest against his shoulder.

"You have something rolling around in that head of yours Jamie, tell me," she said as she rubbed his arms around her middle.

"I'll always have your back Eddie, it's in our vows, it who we have been since we've known each other. The fear I had tonight seeing you trying to get away and getting thrown to the ground was something I can't fully comprehend I don't think." He kissed her temple. "My family has had a lot of loss, Mom, Joe, Linda. I have watched my father, grandfather and Danny all grieve for their wives and I didn't truly understand it. Until you, I can admit that I probably overreacted tonight and I will have to do better because like you said this was just the first time, there will be more chances for ops like this in the future. Eddie just the thought of you in danger and me not being there to have your back nearly did me in" He took a deep breath before continuing.

"The fact that I don't trust Davis just made it worse, but I love you Eddie. We are planning our future together and just the thought that something worse could have happened tonight and that future could have been gone. We have had some close calls through the year but the fact that we know how much we mean to each other now has changed something inside of me. I need you to understand that." He held her tighter.

"Jamie, I do understand. I get it. I saw a fear in your eyes tonight when were talking at the ambulance but babe we can't focus on the fear or we won't be any good to each other on or off the job" She turned around and straddled his lap, the water sloshing around them. She wrapped her arms around his neck and held his head in her hands.

"Eddie you have to know after watching Danny over this last year" he looked down, took a deep breath and looked her in the eye "I truly don't know what I would do if something happened to you, I don't think I could function. You are everything to me, okay. I love the job but you are more important to me. I need you to know that" She leaned forward and took his lips in a deep, slow kiss.

"I know that Jamie, because it is the same for me. I wouldn't be able to function if something ever happened to you, but we can't live in the "what if" okay" he nodded. "We will make this work Jamie, us being in the same precinct. It's new and different and we are still working through and there will be more challenges ahead I am sure but as long as I know we are in this together. Our army of two, we will be just fine"

He leaned forward and kissed her again and again. "I think it's time for the full body massage for the future Mrs. Jamison Reagan" She leaned back in his arms "I think that is a great way to finish the night Mr. Reagan."

"Who said anything about finishing the night, we are just getting started" He leaned in and took her lips again but not for the last time that night.
