Writer's block is starting to clear. Thank you for all the reviews. Hope you all like this new post! Sorry it's taken so long.

Jamie walked back to his apartment where he found Dana standing awkwardly in his living room. As soon as Dana saw Jamie she instantly spoke up, "Jamie, I'm so sorry. I wanted to surprise you and I uh… well I…." Dana was struggling to push through her own embarrassment however continued with, "If I had known beforehand that you and Eddie were…..well that you two were now a couple I would never have shown up on your door step like I did."

Jamie nodded and replied quietly with, "I know."

Dana sighed in relief and then asked as she pushed some hair behind her ear, "So, how long have you two been together?"

Jamie chuckled lightly without humour, "We weren't, well not officially."

Dana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion, "I..I don't understand."

Jamie smiled softly, "Line forms behind me in that department."

Dana continued to look onto Jamie, waiting patiently for him to explain.

Jamie sighed and shrugged his shoulders lightly, "It was just casual, we weren't taking it very seriously, if we were I would've requested a new partner but I guess I just wanted…"

"The best of both worlds," Dana finished for him with a small smile.

Jamie smiled back, "Yeah, something like that." Jamie then looked down.

Dana nodded back and asked with concern, "Are you ok Jamie?"

Jamie waited a beat and replied with, "Yeah, besides the fact that Eddie has been the biggest pain in my side since Renzulli assigned her to me three years ago. Eddie has complicated my life in ways I never knew were even possible. She's a one-woman force of nature, a woman who never lets me get a word in, which is probably the reason why she's not here right now because she wouldn't let me get a word in edge wise to explain what she saw. She's highly opinionated and eats more than my brother Danny which trust me, says somethin. I can't believe I thought we could ever make this work. I think the only thing that we have in common is that, we're both cops, her loud and fiery personality just.."

Dana stepped forward and finished Jamie's sentence with, "Compliments your quiet and reserved personality like a hand in a glove as far as I can see."

Jamie's mouth dropped a little as he furrowed his eyebrows as he thought about what Dana had just said. Jamie then brushed his brow and sighed, "Sorry, Eddie just makes me a little crazy sometimes."

Dana smiled, "I can see that…. So are you just going to let her go?"

Jamie looked at Dana questioningly as she looked back at him with a knowing look, "I knew the moment I met Eddie that you two would end up together, one way or another. However, the one thing I didn't expect was that you would end up falling in love with her."

Dana left soon after with a well wished 'good luck', leaving Jamie to think about everything. Finally, when his mind was made up he headed to the place he knew Eddie would be, Sullivan's bar.

Jamie walked into the bar and was confronted with loud music and even louder cops as he looked over and through the see of people in search of Eddie. He finally spotted her at the bar, sitting on a stool staring at her drink. Jamie walked up to her and stood next to her, waiting for her to notice him. Eddie eventually did a double take and rolled her eyes, "I'm not in the mood for this Reagan, leave me alone," Eddie then took a pull form her beer.

"Can we talk?" Jamie asked in a frustrated tone that said 'I'm not taking no for an answer.'

"Well as you can see, I'm busy." Eddie replied avoiding his gaze.

Jamie scoffed, "Doin what exactly?"

"It's a bar Jamie, 2 to 1, I'm busy drinking."

Jamie rolled his eyes, "All I need is a minute, outside."

Eddie closed her eyes and waited a beat, she then stood up facing Jamie square on, "Fine but just for a minute." Eddie then proceeded to make her way through the crowd with Jamie close behind her.

Once outside, Eddie folded her arms across her chest as she waited for Jamie to say what he needed to say, "I've had a lot of time to think since you stormed off Eddie and it only just hit me that you know that what you saw was nothing more than a misunderstanding and you know that I don't have any intention of startin anything up with Dana."

"Do I now?" Eddie replied sarcastically.

Jamie wasn't fazed, responding with a sincere, "Yeah, I think the reason you stormed off was because of what Renzulli told you."

Eddie looked at Jamie and sighed when he wasn't backing down from knowing he was on the right track, "Ok, fine I might've overreacted."

"You think?"

Eddie frowned in anger, "Hey! I know that what I saw was a misunderstanding Jamie but it wasn't exactly easy seeing another woman kiss you, a woman like Dana who I know you have a lot of history with, you know with the whole lawyer thing you two got goin on."

Jamie waited a beat and gave her a knowing smile, "Yeah, well not as much history as what I have with you and the cop thing we've got goin on."

"Really?"

"Really," Jamie confirmed. "Now that we've got that out of the way, let me explain why I made the choice that I did two years ago."

Eddie waited a beat and replied with, "I'm listening."

"It was another time in our partnership, one where I knew that I had some sort of feelings toward you but valued our partnership and friendship more than risking a thing that might or might not have worked out. Back then I was given an ultimatum by Renzulli and I chose with what I knew and felt at the time."

Eddie was intently listening and eventually nodded with understanding, "And now?"

"Now, I know exactly how I feel and what I want to do."

Eddie took in a breath and let it out, "Which is?" She asked with worry.

Jamie smiled, "Remember a month ago when you blurted out that spending all this time together over the last three years had made you fall in love with me."

Eddie brushed her brow in embarrassment, "You had to bring that up again, didn't you Reagan."

"Yeah, actually I did so that it would make sense when I say, I love you too Eddie."

Eddie dropped her hand and slowly looked up at Jamie, speechless as to what to say next.

Jamie laughed, "If I knew that tellin you that I love you would have stopped you from mouthin off so much, I would've said it a long time ago."

Eddie closed her eyes briefly, replying with a quick, "I'm sorry, I guess I'm just a little surprised."

Jamie shrugged lightly, "I'm not."

Eddie frowned.

"I think deep down underneath my bullet proof vest, I knew exactly how I felt about you, I was just too scared to pursue it."

Eddie smiled softly as she put her hands into her jeans pockets, "So, what happens now? It's not exactly going to be easy to just go from what we were to what we're trying to be Reagan."

Jamie extended his right hand for Eddie to hold with her left, "We take it a day at a time."

Eddie looked down as Jamie frowned at her reaction.

"There's something else Jamie."

"What is it?"

"Renzulli knows about us."

Jamie let go of Eddie's hand and nervously responded with, "How does he know?"

"He saw us kissing on our day off."

Jamie closed his eyes as he covered his face with his hands in embarrassment, "That is so not how I wanted him to find out." Jamie then looked at Eddie, "How bad is it? Is he goin to transfer one of us out?"

Eddie shook her head, "No, after he told me about the ultimatum he had given you, he then gave the same one to me."

Jamie's eyes widened in surprise, "Oh, well that's somethin I guess."

Eddie nodded as she rolled her lips nervously.

Jamie waited a beat before asking, "So, you know where I stand." Eddie nodded. "Where do you stand with us?"

Eddie smiled sheepishly as she looked down and then back up at Jamie and as she tucked some loose hair behind her ear, as she responded with, "I honestly don't know what the future holds for us Reagan, if this will work out, but if you're willing to give it a real shot, so am I."

Jamie smiled his million dollar smile at that which reflected in Eddie as she finished with, "I love you and I want to be with you Jamie."

Jamie waited a beat with a smile dancing on his lips before replying back with, "Right back at you Janko." Jamie said as he leaned in, giving Eddie a few small, quick kisses on the lips before embracing her in a tight hug.
