Neither Jamie not Frank spoke for the rest of the week until Sunday where Eddie and Bree would join them for mass and dinner. Frank decided to wait until they were all together before telling the family.

Jamie arrived at mass just before it started sporting a powder blue dress shirt and black dress pants. In his arms Bree clung to him wary in the new situation with new faces looking at them.

Danny and Linda saved the pew arriving first as Erin went to pick up her father and grandfather who ran late to start dinner. Spotting his brother's figure Danny looked up ready to tease him for missing last week when he saw two extra people with him.

"Hey Danny..Linda…Jack… Sean. " Jamie greeted taking a seat on the end in case he had to step out with Bree. Setting the curious toddler on his lap Jamie smiled taking her hand quietly.

"Hey kid, Eddie didn't realize you came back or with a kid.." Danny raised an eyebrow at the little girl a smaller version of Eddie but the way Jamie had her told the veteran Detective there was more to this.

Eddie smiled politely at the elder Reagan nodding her head slightly. "We just came back actually." She looked up greeting Erin with a smile, letting her and Niki pass followed by Henry and Frank.

Henry only plopped down on the pew between Eddie and Frank before turning and directly asking what the others were thinking. "Whose the baby with Jamie?" His blue eyes stared a hole through his youngest grandson full of curiosity.

"We'll discuss it later pop," murmured Frank under his breath not wanting to cause a scene in church. Giving one final glance Henry straightened up and turned back to the service.

After mass Jamie drove them back to his childhood house not in any rush with Bree laughing in the back. He found a spot in front, going around to take Bree out, kissing her head as he did. With his free hand Jamie took Eddie's hand for strength.

When they arrived everyone else already arrived lounging while dinner cooked. As they arrived Niki noticed everyone's expression change to serious meaning a talk was about to happen. "Boys lets finish this upstairs," she whispered to her younger cousins gathering her books.

Once the kids disappeared all eyes turned to the couple looking for answering. Henry didn't waste any time in drilling his youngest grandson. "What the hell is going on Jamie? Why are you carrying around a toddler?"

Jamie took in a deep breath gathering strength for the inevitable conversation. "I want you all to meet Bree my daughter."

Initial reaction varied from Linda and Erin gasping in shock to Henry mumbling phrases under his breath not meant for the younger kids to hear. Danny simply stared in complete shock his perfect brother would do something like this.

"Excuse me? I'm not sure I heard quite right, she's your daughter since when because last time I checked you aren't married. Unless of course there's something else you need to tell us," Henry burst out.

"Before she left Eddie and I started going out, just getting to know each other. She came over one night and without meaning for it to happen we.. We had a big fight, broke up when she realized," Jamie started explaining softly. "She panicked and left until just a few days ago."

Henry leaned against the back of his chair shaking his head. "You're lucky I'm in shock to get up and come over there. Jamison, you've been always been responsible and then you go and do this."

"I know pops, I know how we were raised but I'm not going to apologize because Bree isn't a mistake. I love her and I'm going to be part of her life, I only hope she can be part of yours."

Bree who'd been mostly quiet scrunched up her face and let out a wail letting everyone nearby know she was still there. "What's wrong princess," Jamie whispered hugging her tightly to make her feel secure.

"I'll take her she's probably hungry,"Eddie said, taking out an already made bottle from the bag before accepting Bree.. Watching her holding their daughter made Jamie smile.

"Wow kid," Danny finally spoke after being speechless from the announcement. He could see the living joy in his brother's eyes knowing the feeling after each of his boys were born. Out of the corner of his eye Danny could see Henry seething in disappointment.

Frank took a deep breath able to reflect on the issue for several days knowing he had an answer to give. "Listen to me Jamie,"Bree is your child, and you are my child. I love you very much and I do want to get to know my granddaughter. I spoke to Father McMurray and he'll be happy to marry you and Eddie after you complete the classes and he will be honored to baptize Bree.

Jamie took a breath, "Dad, Eddie and I aren't ready to get married. We have a lot to work out and Eddie isn't Catholic so I don't know about baptizing the baby. I have to talk to her."

Frank sighed, "Jamie, you need to at least make these offers to Eddie so that she knows you are serious. I want you to sign the family forms at the precinct on Monday to make sure Eddie and Bree are cared for in case..."

"I already began that process, but I'm thinking Bree is too young to be in day care. She got so scared and cried so I took her out."

Frank nodded, "Day care is not the proper place for a baby that small. Talk to Pop see if he will help out, I"m sure he will. Now, let me hold my grandchild."Frank carefully took Bree into his arms admiring the little girl, how her blue eyes reminded him so much of Jamie as a child.

Eddie gave Jamie a smile watching Frank play with Bree who simply stared back. She scrunched her face up, pushing the bottle away and wailed loudly. "Shh it's okay Bree, mommy and daddy are right here. That's your grandpa."

Bree twisted in Frank's arms reaching her little hands out to Eddie and Jamie continuing to wail. Eddie stepped forward taking Bree with a slight bounce to soothe her, "shh it's okay baby it's okay."

Henry came out of the kitchen to a wailing toddler and Frank watching Eddie soothing her daughter calmly. "Time to eat," he announced warily at the scene.

Instead of placing Bree in the high chair Eddie let her on her lap until she was fully calm. After prayer Jamie made Eddie's plate for her reaching to take Bree so Eddie could eat. "This is good," Eddie complimented with a smile.

In response Henry huffed at her pushing around his food.
