A/N: Thank you to everyone who followed, favorited, and reviewed chapter 1. I appreciate all of you who have read it so far! I also wanted to point out that I'm aware that some details aren't accurate in relation to NYC or some parts of the show, but the alterations are necessary to have the story play out the way I want it to. I still have a bunch of new ideas and I'm shooting for 5 chapters, but I might have more. Thank you all again. Enjoy chapter two! xx

Eddie woke up at 8:52 am in an unfamiliar place. Beneath her, she felt a hard mattress and above her, a warm blanket was encompassing her. To the right of her, she felt heat radiating off of another body. She turned over and saw Jamie, peacefully sleeping beside her. As soon as she glanced at his resting body, the events from the previous day came back to her. Eddie's mind swirled as she thought about how Jamie almost got killed, how she felt he was in danger before he even was, how she saved him, how he held her and told her that he would spend his five-million dollars on her, just to make her happy. Eddie's face broke into a smile at the thought. She figured Jamie had stayed up much later than she had and decided to make breakfast for him so he would have something to eat when he woke up. You know, just typical police partner stuff. Eddie rolled out of bed, got dressed in jeans and a lilac sweater, and headed to Jamie's kitchen to make pancakes.

Twenty-seven minutes later, Jamie strolled into the kitchen wearing just his sweatpants.

"Woah Reagan!" Eddie exclaimed trying her keep her attention focused on not overcooking the pancakes

"Relax Janko, you've seen me in better", Jamie said mimicking the words she had spoken to him less than twelve hours ago

"More like I've seen you in more," Eddie mumbled under her breath.

"Hmm?"

"Nothing!" she exclaimed as she placed the batch of pancakes on the table. "Now, go put a shirt on so we can eat. I don't want the food to get cold."

"Well, we know how much you love food," Jamie remarked as he turned back to his bedroom, swiftly redirecting Eddie's punch to his left arm to the center of his abs. He grabbed her wrist before she had time to react and twirled her around to the front of him so she was blocking the way to his bedroom. "I thought you said you wanted me to go get changed before breakfast," he said with a smirk slowly creeping across his face, "make up your mind Janko". Jamie lightly hip-checked her out of the way, sliding his hand across her side as he did so. He knew he had her in the palm of his hand, just like the Claddagh ring last night on the terrace.

Eddie slowly made her way to the tell to sit down and wait for Jamie to come back. A thousand thoughts ran through her head, but they were all interrupted when Jamie came back into the kitchen, dressed in jeans and a sweater, and sat down at the table. "Pass the syrup, please… Eddie? Hello? Earth to Janko?"

"Ye-yea here," she said handing it over

"So what do you want to do today? We have the day off you know."

"Oh uh, I don't care. Whatever is fine." Eddie quickly finished her cup of coffee so she could momentarily remove herself from the table to get more.

They ate in silence for the next ten minutes until Eddie cleaned up her plate, ran into Jamie's bathroom, and locked the door. Eddie sat down on the floor and starting silently bawling. She didn't know why she was crying, but she didn't know how to stop the flow of tears from streaming down her face either. To Eddie, it felt like she was only in the bathroom for a minute or two, but to Jamie, it was a lifetime. He went over to the door and was about to knock on it when he heard Eddie's soft muffled cries. Jamie's mind began to race. What went wrong, what did I do? Did I come on too strong? I thought she was ready. I thought we were going to - he was interrupted by the click of the door.

Eddie walked out of the bathroom with red puffy eyes. She couldn't bring herself to look at Jamie so she pushed past him, grabbed her bag off the kitchen counter, and made her way to the door. Jamie stopped her.

"I can't do this Jamie. I can't get lost in a world of what if's and could be's again. I just can't do it. You know how I feel about you, and that's never going to change. And what you did at breakfast… you almost had me believing in us, in what we co-" Jaime pushed Eddie into the door with his body and kissed her. He ran his fingers through the ends of her hair but pulled away after only a few seconds. He looked down into her eyes and wiped the tears staining her cheeks.

"You don't need to wonder what we could be anymore Eddie. You just need to believe in what were are."

"And what would that be Jamie! You say you have feelings for me, kiss me into the door, and then just stand here. For what!"

"For love," he replied softly not breaking the intense gaze into her eyes. "C'mon," he said lacing his fingers through hers, "I want to take you somewhere".
