Bree played on the bedroom floor with the few toys Eddie could bring back. Sitting beside her Eddie watched with amusement as Jamie tried putting the crib together. "You are not putting our daughter in that," she laughed as he mumbled under his breath.

Getting up Eddie went over and took the tool from Jamie. "Back away from the crib Reagan and let a pro handle this. Go play with your kid."

Laughing Jamie got up starting back to where Eddie left their daughter seeing only toys scattered across the floor. "Where is she?"

They heard a mischievous little giggle, Jamie turned and saw Bree clapping her hands, mud smooshed between her fingers, falling onto her dress.

"What did you do?" Jamie asked. "Come here you are all dirty."

Bree laughed again, Jamie picked her up and took her to the bathroom to wash her up. That proved more complicated that the crib.

Setting Bree down for a minute so he fill up the tub to wash her off. He turned around finding Bree pulling down the toilet paper down marking it with muddy hands. "Bree, come here you." Jamie scooped her up washing her off and changing her into clean clothes.

"Stay right there while daddy cleans up," Jamie said throwing away the dirty toilet paper. Sighing he picked Bree back up carrying her into the living room so Eddie could work on the crib.

Bree used the table to take a wobbly step knocking magazines off the table clapping as she did. "Not funny Bree come sit." Jamie lifted his mischievous daughter, placing her on the spot next to him.

"No, no," Bree squirmed trying to slide off not wanting to sit still. Jamie picked her back up placing her on the couch again not ready for the consequence. Bree flung her arms in the air and kicked her little legs in defiance.

Eddie appeared from the bedroom hearing the commotion. "What's going on, why is she upset?"

"She's knocking stuff over and thinks it's funny so I put her on the couch and she started kicking," Jamie explained, turning back to his daughter. "Sit up Bree come here."

"If you coddle her she'll think it's okay Jamie, you have to let her know what she's doing isn't nice. She's 1 but she's very smart and understands," Eddie crossed her arms over her chest watching. She needed to let him handle this.

Jamie sighed hating to see Bree crying but wanting her to know what she did wasn't okay. He got up off the couch and took a step back. Seeing space Bree slid off laughing right into Jamie's waiting arms. "Daddy doesn't like what you did Bree, making a mess. "

Bree laughed in response squirming to get down and be free. "Put her back on the couch," Eddie said softly seeing Jamie's face fall. He reluctantly set Bree back on the couch fighting every sense in him to pick her up and hug her.

"She's to young for time out," Jamie narrowed his eyes in confusion sitting on the couch too calmly. "Calm down Bree, daddy put you here because it was unsafe to throw stuff. Let's pick it up and then we can play."

Bree slid off the couch bending over to pick up each magazine she threw back on the table. When the last magazine was placed on top Bree clapped and ran into her father's arms giggling. "I don't use time out to but just a way for her to calm down so we can talk."

"What do you want Bree," Janie asked, wiping the tears away from her face. She pointed into the bedroom leading him back to the abandoned toys. "You want to play," Jamie guessed sitting crossed legged on the floor. Bree took to his lap moving a toy car around.

"You did good first timer," Eddie smirked, going back to the crib.

"You're still not funny," Jamie replied. He picked up a toy police car showing Bree how to move it around. "Mama," Bree said touching the cop car and looking up at Jamie for confirmation remembering Eddie in her uniform.

Jamie rewarded her with a kiss on top of her head smiling. "Yes, mama and papa." He turned hearing no response from Eddie. "Everything okay?"

"This feels, like old times Jamie.. but I reapplied with the department and I don't know if that'll change anything. If we're partners again what do we do with Bree?"

"If it happens we can find a reliable daycare. I have early tour tomorrow so I'll see what I can find out from Renzulli okay? We'll make it work.." Jamie looked down at Bree with a soft smile determined to make this work.

Wanting to find out if he and Eddie would be riding together, Jamie arrived early for tour searching for Renzulli. "Hey just the kid I was looking for, come walk with me," Renzulli greeted spotting his old boot.

They walked a bit down away from the main room where Renzulli turned studying his friend's face. "So you doing okay kid after Eddie left and all?"

"Yea, I miss her but it's getting easier. Sarg I know she's back and I know she applied to work in the department again so are Eddie and I partners again," Jamie questioned.

"The captain is concerned with how her leaving then reappearing will affect you two as partners. You've always been professional in my eyes but I saw you were after she left. I think it's best if she's partnered with someone else. " Jamie sighed trying to hide his disappointment from the boss. Despite the hurt he felt after she left Jamie still loved her.

Renzulli gauged the expression on Jamie's face sighing. " I'm sorry kid but hey look at the bright side you'll be riding with me still."

"That a threat Sarge," Jamie joked. He followed Renzulli out still slightly put off that he wouldn't be riding with Eddie again, and curious who she'd be paired with. He intended to find out before tour finished.

Nearby at 1pp, Frank finished up with a meeting, receiving updates from one of his captains in upper Manhattan. He only just hung up when Garret burst in holding a file in his hand. "Boss here's an update from the precincts for you to look over. Did you know Jamie's partner Officer Janko is back?"

Frank looked up from reading the file he started reading. "No I wasn't aware Garret but I'm sure Jamie knows." Picking up his cell Frank sent Jamie a text inviting him over after tour ended.
