25 weeks: alive and kicking

Eddie sat at her desk and was finishing the papers Jamie gave her to fill out. She was perfectly content with the work he was giving her because he was giving her stuff so she could help him out. She was halfway through the second to last file when the feeling started to catch up to her. She clicked her pen and closed her eyes feeling that there was something wrong.

Jamie walked in and saw Eddie at the desk when they were arresting a perp. "Hey," he said softly as he went around the desk to give her a kiss.

"Hey, what'd this guy do?" She asked as she grabbed him the sheet behind the desk for paperwork.

Maya smirked, "he thought it would be so cool to do a drug deal, right in the middle of midtown," she said.

"Ha, that looked like it worked well," Eddie said to the perp when he backfired on her from behind the desk.

"Yeah, watch it or you're next blondie." He said at Eddie.

Jamie jumped into action, "HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH" he said sternly at him. "START WALKING!" He said defensively.

Eddie smiled at him, "bye, I'll see you at home" she said softly from behind the desk.

Jamie looked back at her and smiled, "bye, love you" he said right before he walked out to leave.


Eddie walked into the kitchen. She had been home for about 30 minutes and was waiting for Jamie to start eating when she felt the same type of vibration against her abdomen.

'is this normal,' she thought as she continued to do her own thing around the house.

She heard Jamie unlock the door while she was sitting on the couch. She felt drained and exhausted.

"Hey, I'm home" he called out from the foyer.

"Hi," she said as she yawned.

Jamie laughed, "how you feeling?" He said as he walked around the couch to sit next to her.

"Tired," she said as she laid her hair down on his shoulder.

Her hand was protectively on her stomach when she felt the same movement again. "Jamie?" She said as she sat up a little, "is this normal?" She said as she moved her hand over to where she felt a flutter.

Jamie put his hand over her stomach and waited. "I don't feel anything," he said as he felt a push.

"That," she said immediately, "Is that normal" Eddie said as she looked over at Jamie in concern.

Jamie felt the same motion as he moved his hand again. He laughed and looked back at Eddie which made her look at him with concern.

"Jamie is this normal," she said nervously.

"Eddie, that's the baby," he said. He moved his hand around her stomach and she placed her hand on top of his.

Eddie chuckled, "I've been feeling that all day," she said.

He laughed. He could see that she immediately had the sign of relief written across her face. He moved his head down and kissed her belly right where she felt a push again.

"Oh," she laughed as she felt the baby moved when his lips touched her. Jamie chuckled and kissed her head. "That's our little girl," she laughed lightly.

"Yeah," he smiled as another punch was thrown in his direction. She laughed at the feeling.

"This will never get old," she smirked at him. "All day long I was a nervous wreck thinking that something was wrong."

"Well, nothing's wrong," he smiled and kept his hand on her stomach. "I just want to hold her in my arms already."

"You and me both," she laughed. "I can just imagine the nights where we are playing with her like the whole feeling is just hitting me now," she smirked.

"Dressing her up in a Jet's jersey and bringing her to dad's house to watch the game," he laughed at the thought of a baby sitting on his lap with all the men.

Eddie laughed at the sight, "you are going to become such a softy," she smirked. "I just-just a few more weeks, we're more than halfway there," she said and leaned her head on his chest. "I mean think about it, we are going to have a baby in our house.'

"That doesn't feel safe," he joked at her.

Eddie laughed with him, "no, definitely not."


Eddie finished boiling the pasta that was on the stove and carefully drained the water.

She felt Jamie's arms wrap around her and she leaned back against him. "Hey," she smiled and tipped her head back so he could kiss her.

"I finished it," he grinned at her.

"Finished what?" she wondered with wide eyes.

"The baby's room," he smirked. "Wanna come to see it?" he asked while she placed the pot down on the counter.

"Yeah," she smiled and followed him where they stopped outside the bedroom door.

He put his hand on the knob, "you ready?" he smirked while he could still smell the touch-up paint drying.

He opened the door to reveal the brown white crib with pink sheets and pink soft blanket handing off the side. The top half of the wall was painted the neutral grey they both decided on and then bottom half trim was painted a white. The new carpeting was placed on the floor, along with a fuzzy white accent rug. All the furniture matched with each other. The soft pink curtains swayed with the wind blowing from each window so the paint smell would leave the room. A giant light brown teddy bear sat in the corner of the room and a few baby clothes they received were placed in the matching dresser set.

"Jamie, it's adorable," she laughed a few tears while Jamie leaned down to kiss her cheek. "You did an amazing job."

"Hey, I can't take all the credit, you bought it all, I just put it together," he reminded her.

She moved and sat in the rocker in the corner of the room where they decided and look at the walls where Jamie added an 'R' for Reagan right in between the two windows. " I figured when we figure out the name, I can go back and get the other two letters," he smiled.

She looked at him in the eyes and smiled, "this room looks absolutely perfect."


Hey guys, I'm doing pretty good with keeping up, hopefully, it stays that way. Please leave a review!
