35 weeks: change is coming
The same bench they always sat at, Jamie made his way over to Eddie with two different flavor ice cream cones in his hand, one for himself and one for her.
She watched him make his way towards her and held out his hand for her with the ice cream in it. "Here, take this one," he said to her and plopped down in the space next to her.
She looked at Jamie and gladly took it off his hands, "thanks," she said to him as she felt his arm wrap around her.
"We always manage to sit at the same bench," he pointed out to her as he licked the side of his ice cream from melting.
Eddie smirked, "some things never change."
Jamie looked over at Eddie, "next year we can bring the little one over here for ice cream," he thought and he saw a smile escape from her.
"I still can't believe that we are going to have a baby next month," she laughed.
Jamie smiled, "we have to add a little high chair in between us at family dinner. I mean our house is baby proofed," he laughed.
"She's sleeping in our room, just so you know," she said to him seriously. "I want her next to me at all times."
Jamie looked over at her, "nothing's going to happen, you know that right?"
Eddie glanced in his direction and looked at him offended, "you're joking right?"
She waved her ice cream in the air while she talked about the different scenarios. Jamie leaned forward and took a chunk of her ice cream with a bite.
"Hey!" she laughed at him. "You have your own!"
Jamie looked over at her sly while he finished the last of the ice cream he had in his mouth, "your's tastes better though."
Eddie leaned forwards taking a bite out of Jamie's ice cream and saw his expression change. "What? You took a bite of mine."
"No, it's not that," he laughed and grabbed the napkin from off the side of the bench, "you have ice cream on your cheek," he laughed and wiped it off. "As you said, some things never change."
Eddie looked over at him offended, "oh, will you shut up," she laughed. "You just enjoy teasing me," she joked.
"That's true," Jamie laughed.
Eddie finished her ice cream. Jamie stood up and moved to help her up. "I can't wait till I can get up on my own."
Jamie laughed, "you're doing just fine."
They both walked into the 2-9. Jamie needed to grab a few files so he could finish paperwork at home. Eddie followed closely behind him and walked with him into his office. She went straight for the chair and sat down. "You okay?" Jamie asked as he saw her panting a little.
"What? Yeah, I'm fine. Just out of breath that's all," she said.
They both heard a knock at the door and looked up to see Maya standing in the doorway. "Hey girl," she greeted Eddie and then look at Jamie, "Sarge…"
"What that's all I get?" Jamie laughed at her as she ignored him and started talking to Eddie.
Maya looked up, "well...yeah," she said with a straight face. She looked at Eddie, "I haven't seen you in a while."
Eddie smirked, "desk duty is a blast."
"I bet," she smirked and then her eyes went straight to her stomach, "you're getting full. When are you due?" She asked.
"I only have about 4 to 5 weeks left and then we'll have a baby to deal with," Eddie smiled excitedly for when the day would come.
Maya sat down in the seat next to her, "what are you guys doing here anyway?" she asked taking a sip of her coffee.
"Uh, Jamie needed to grab some paperwork, and then we are going to get going, I'm exhausted," she said and leaned back in the chair.
"I can't even imagine. I miss you back on the street. Sarge isn't too friendly," she whispered.
"I heard that!" Jamie said and popped his head up from behind his desk.
"What? I'm just speaking the truth," she said and looked at Eddie who had a smile on her face while shaking her head.
"You two just like to gang up on me," Jamie told the two of them and closed his drawer putting the files in his bag.
Eddie looked up at him, "you're just too easy." Jamie looked over at her trying not to laugh, "what you took my ice cream and did this to me," she pointed at her belly.
"Yeah, leave the girl alone," Maya added.
"Oh, partnering you two together was not my smartest move, was it?" He said aloud.
"Nope, it was the dumbest move, but the best one at the same time," Maya said and got up from her seat.
"I'm starting not to like you anymore," Jamie looked up at her.
"Well, we can both agree on something there," she smiled. "The only thing I like about you is your wife and your baby when she comes."
"That baby is half me you know," Jamie smirked and saw Eddie's face light up with laughter.
"Oh yeah…" She said stupidly.
"Get back to work Maya," he laughed and she made her way towards the door.
"I'll see you later," she smiled and winked at Eddie before she left.
"I love you, you know?" Eddie said as she watched him closed the filing cabinet with a key.
Jamie looked over at her and held a hand to help her up. "I love you more." He leaned down and pressed a kiss to her forehead.
Jamie zipped up his bag and stood holding the door for Eddie. "Come on, let's go home," he said and led her out of the office.
Maya sassing Jamie is probably going to be my favorite part of the show when she finds out they are getting married. Stay tuned for more!
