15 weeks: I want, I want
Jamie and Eddie made their rounds around the store looking for new furniture they could place in the living room when they were done with remodeling the last room in the house until the baby came. It was the first time they actually left the house to go to the store together since the morning sickness was slowly starting to fade away. Eddie walked close to Jamie when she stopped at the gray sofa set. "What about this one?" She pointed to him as he followed next to her.
"This one?" he asked making sure he was looking at the right one.
"Yeah," she looked at his direction. Jamie moved and sat on the sofa that had three different pieces that came with it.
Jamie looked up at her, "I like this one." he said and lounged back on it like a kid. "I can watch the game and it will be big enough for the living room." he admired.
Eddie smirked at him, "you are something else." she laughed. "Grab the tag, so we can buy it," she told him.
Eddie swiped her hair behind her ear and noticing Jamie observing her. She looked over at him, "what?" she asked softly.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, "nothing, you just look cute today." he told her as she leaned into him. "The bump really fits you well." he pointed to her.
"Thanks," she laughed. She wore a pair of Jeans that she was still managing to button, a tight white top that showed her bump, along with one of her green coats.
They continued to walk around the store and Jamie stopped when he heard Eddie gasp, "Jamie, look," she smiled as they were passing by the cribs.
"We are gonna need one of those huh," he smiled and bent down to kiss her.
"Guess so," she smiled back up at him. She walked over to one of the cribs, "look how cute this one is."
Jamie walked over to her, "Ed, that one's pink, we could be having a boy."
Eddie grinned, "but we could be having a girl," she smiled incredulously and then came back to reality, "but I want a neutral one so when we have another kid we don't have to buy another crib." she suggested.
Jamie looked at her concerned, "you want more?" he smirked, "we haven't even had one to see if we can handle a baby." he told her honestly.
"Oh my god Jamie," she laughed. "It won't be that bad."
The continued to walk through the baby section. They figured since they were renovating the living room to just get started on the baby's room and get it done in one shot.
"Do you want to buy the crib just yet?" Jamie asked as saw Eddie walking past the cribs again.
She scrunched up her face, "no," she let out a deep breath. She waited for a second and then looked down, "I really want that pink one."
Jamie couldn't help but laugh at her. "And what if its a boy?"
She looked up at him, "I still want the pink one." she whined.
"Come on," he laughed and guided her to the kitchen supplies.
Eddie was holding onto a few kitchen towels to match the room and some new plates. They kept walking around to see if they missed anything. "Wait, can we get one of these?" Eddie asked as she pointed to the baby bottle drying rack. "We're gonna need it eventually."
"That's fine," he smirked. It was a grass look-a-like drying rack. "Pick out a few bottles and stuff while we're at it," he told her as he looked around some more.
Eddie looked around, picked out a few neutral colors and came back with a few baby bottles and pacifiers. "Good?" she smirked.
"Yeah, here let me take some of those," he told her. He took the heavy items off her hands, so she was left with the bottles and pacifiers. While he was taking them off her hands, the pacifiers slipped. He bent down to grab them and came back up and he felt someone run straight into him not paying attention.
"Oh my god, I'm so sorry," she said right as he was coming back up.
"No, don't worry about it." he continued. He grabbed the pacifiers off the ground and looked up at the face. "Syd?"
"Oh my god, Jamie, hi." she greeting giddy. "H-how are you?" she stuttered.
Jamie was standing right next to Eddie and handed her the pacifiers back. "I'm good, how are you?" he asked politely.
"I'm doing okay." she responded and took a breath preparing herself, "uh, whos this?"
Jamie wrapped his arm around Eddie's back, "this is my wife Eddie, Eddie this is Syd."
Eddie gladly extended her hand and greeted the girl in front of Jamie. "Nice to meet you," Eddie said.
Her eyes went wide, "oh you're married?" she asked appalled. "And pregnant I can see." She said pointing to the baby bottles she was holding along with her visible bump.
"Yeah." He responded to her. "So, how's London?" he wondered aloud. She left him and this was all coming and backfiring in her face.
"Really good actually. I'm still a lawyer...um are you still a cop?" she threw at him.
"Yeah, I'm a Sargent now, but yeah and that's where I met Eddie actually," he responded proudly.
Syd looked at Eddie, "oh, you're a cop too?"
"Yeah," she smiled and leaned into Jamie.
"Listen, it was nice catching up with you, but I really have to go," she said to him while holding up her phone indicating she was busy. "But congratulations on the baby," she stumbled with her words.
"See you around," Jamie spoke. She turned around and waved before turning the other way.
Jamie looked down at Eddie, "how did I get so lucky with you?" he responded the same way she did the other week.
Eddie looked him in the eyes, "I'm a catch," She said seriously.
Jamie shook his head, "yeah, my catch." he smiled and hug her closer.
They walked back into the house with bags full of things and placed them on the kitchen counter. "I think we did pretty good today," she said while moving to the couch in the living room.
Jamie came and sat right next to her and wrapped her arm around her shoulder. "so, I read online the other day that the baby can start hearing us and starting this week I can start feeling it." she responded.
"Really?" Jamie asked surprised. "already?" he said to her. "you look so tiny though, how can you feel it already?"
Eddie leaned her head against his shoulder, "I don't know. I was showing early, but everything online said the baby is starting to move at his own pace. My bump isn't even that big. It just starting to really show." she told him. She wasn't at all big or really showing that much. She had a little bump on her lower abdomen that was visible, but it wasn't anything that was quick to recognize the first time you looked over.
"so the baby can hear me?" Jamie asked again.
She nodded her head. She lifted her shirt to show her abdomen and Jamie bent down and kissed it. He laid his head against her bare stomach like he did before she was pregnant and listened to Eddie's heartbeat.
She ran her fingers through his hair. "I'm really proud of you, you know?" he told her. "you're carrying a baby, working and taking care of the house at once," he said proudly. Eddie leaned forward and kissed him right as he got off her stomach.
"you keep me going," she smiled.
15 weeks done! Just a quick warning that I am going back to school after I just had a week off of midterms. I'm trying to write as many chapters as I can while I'm off and then the updates are going to start to slow down. I hope you guys don't mind! Anyways, see you real soon!
