"So how long do you think Danny will stew on this? I messed up and I know it by not telling him right away" Eddie said as they were walking out of the 2-9 after their tours ended.

"Danny is hot headed and stubborn especially with the boys. He will be fine. He knows you didn't mean it in a malicious way" Jamie said as he took her hand in his.

"You have to tell me all of the Reagan family rules so I don't make someone else mad" Eddie joked. "Can you write out a list that I can learn or something"?

"Eddie you have to take what Danny said with a grain of salt. He will come around; Jack heading off to college is difficult for Danny and Sean. It's why Sean started acting out."

"How do you know that?" She asked as they continued to walk to a local bar for happy hour. They had heard this place near the precinct was pretty popular and they needed a new spot to hit after work since changing precincts.

"Because I did the same thing when Danny left for basic training" Eddie turned and looked at him "You acted out in school and drank with friends" she gave a her side eye look "The boy scout acted out? Really"

Jamie laughed "It wasn't underage drinking, but I started not doing my homework, being a pain around the house. I figured if I started acting out maybe Danny would stay to look after me."

Eddie's eyes softened "I can see you doing that. Do you think Danny knows this is why Sean is acting out" Jamie looked forward as he walked beside her. "I don't know, I will talk to him again about it. Danny has to think through things and he's still dealing with losing Linda. I think Jack going off to college is just another reminder that Linda is missing this. Sean's going to be going to college in a two more years and it's just a lot for all three of them."

"For you too. Your whole family misses Linda. I know I didn't know her very well but I enjoyed her when we would meet up for drinks or dinner with them a few times." Jamie squeezed her hand. "She was always so friendly and I did love seeing her and Danny together."

"She liked you too. I think somehow she knew I had feelings for you. Erin and Linda had on a few occasions, when I would mention you or something would be going on with work, would somehow make a comment or ask a pointed question. I miss her around the dinner table. She would have loved you becoming a part of the family." He let go o f her hand and wrapped his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer kissing her forehead. "You would have made it six on four around the dinner table. Maybe when we have kids we will have girls and they will even it out" he said.

"So something Danny said got me thinking and since you just mentioned us having kids" she said quietly. "What are you thinking so hard about" he asked.

"I know we just got engaged and still have the wedding and everything but what about kids? How many are you thinking?" She turned her head to watch his face. A small smile formed as he answered. "I definitely want at least two, I liked having siblings even if I did get picked on as they baby." He chuckled.

"Probably two to four would be good, how many are you thinking," He asked as they entered the bar and found a round top table. Jamie nodded to a couple officers he saw at the bar.

"I know I was an only child so definitely more than one. Maybe we just play it by ear. Two to four? You think we could handle a small brood of kids," she asked wide eyed. "Scotch double please" she said when the waitress came over. "Make that two" Jamie said.

"I think the two of us together can do just about anything including taking care of four kids" He smiled at her.

"Oh that was so cliché Reagan! You know I never really thought of having kids until we delivered the baby back in the spring. I said then I want to experience that instant love one day." She spoke as the waitress came back with their drinks. She took a long sip.

"I remember that. You said you thought you didn't want to have kids. Why was that?" he asked.

"I didn't have the best role models in my life. I didn't think and if I am being honest, I still think that I might not be a good parent. I haven't spent much time around kids. I don't know what I am doing. I mean look how I messed it up with Sean."

Jamie reached across the table to rest his hand over hers giving it a squeeze. "Eddie I have no doubts that you would be a wonderful mother. You care about people and you are a strong, capable, intelligent woman." She smiled at him. "Plus you have me. You aren't going to be doing it alone. I always have your back" she leaned over and kissed him.

"I think you are going to make a pretty great Dad. You are a kid magnet Jamie. You always know what to say to help calm them down, and make them feel safe. When we delivered Eddie, I can admit it know, I thought about the two of us having kids. I want to experience that with you." Eddie rubbed her fingers over his hand. "I never really thought of having a family. I didn't think it was in the cards for me, but then you came into my life."

"Are you going to get all sentimental on me Janko" he joked. "I wondered if after Sydney, it was in the cards for me. I have seen Danny and Erin raise their kids and knew that I wanted that, but I wanted to share it with the right person."

"I think you are the one getting sentimental" She smirked. Jamie squeezed her hand again. He found outside of work he always was trying to find a reason to touch her or run his hand down her arm or hold her hand. "I don't think it's getting sentimental, I think it's finally being able to say the things that we have wanted to say and to the feel the things we have felt. I think we are both realizing as much as we thought us being engaged and getting married wouldn't change our relationship it has and while we are still working through it, I think it's changed for the better" he said as he intertwined their fingers.

"You say that because now you can see me naked" she joked. He laughed as he spoke "Well that is a check in the pro column for sure, and I think that goes both ways. You like seeing me naked too" She laughed. "Maybe just maybe" she replied coyly.

"Oh please Eddie, you know that is one area where we both have no complaints. That is mutual satisfaction." He joked.

"Okay, okay enough talking about our sex life. So we both want kids, when do you want to have them?" she asked.

"I think let's get the wedding done and then we can see what we think. You will be on modified and maternity leave and I know you have career goals whether they are becoming sergeant or detective. I don't want you to think like we have to start a family the second we get married."

"I know once people get married the question they get asked the most is when the babies are coming. I don't want to wait years to have kids though. Maybe once we get married and we talk about it more. I mean, we are pretty good at what gets you a baby so I don't think practice will be a problem." She smiled that full smile that made him melt.

"No, we absolutely do not have a problem with that. I think we might need to head back to the apartment and try some of that practice tonight" he smirked as he laid down money to cover their drinks.

"Why Mr. Reagan are you trying to skip out on feeding your fiancé" she questioned as she stood up and made her way to the door.

"I would never do that, I know how much your food means to you. I think we pick up a pizza on the way back and eat it much much later tonight."

"You think you can win me over with pizza?" she asked. "I don't think I would have to try that hard Eddie and you know it." She smiled at him.

"No, you don't have to try that hard. Let's go." They walked back towards the parking lot to drive home hand in hand.
