"Reagan!"

Jamie walked over to Renzulli. "What's up Serg?"

"I need you and Janko to do a prisoner transfer. He's at the courthouse and needs to go to Sing Sing."

Jamie cocked a brow. "Don't prison staff handle that?"

"They're short handed besides this is coming from 1PP."

Jamie nodded. He grabbed the file and was reading it as he walked towards his desk. Eddie was sitting at hers drumming her fingers on the wooden surface.

"We have a prison transfer."

She nodded and stood. He grabbed the keys to their squad and led the way out. He handed Eddie the file.

"My dad assigned us to this one."

She looked. "Donald Palmer." She noticed the detective's name. "This was your dad's case?"

He nodded. "The guy set off four bombs all over the city with no pattern or reason to them. He killed over thirty people and injured at least fifty."

"And he was eligible for parole?"

"They could never prove that it was just him. They could link him to one bomb but not all of them. My dad always thought he did them all. He was smart."

"So he got 25-life?"

"Yup."

They slid into their car and Jamie started to drive towards the court house. Eddie kept reading through the file.

"He went through the entire trial without saying a word?"

He nodded. "I studied this case at Harvard. The prosecutors had a solid case but the defense team caused enough doubt that he acted alone and got the sentence reduced."

"Jeez. I would have hated to be on that jury."

When they arrived at the court house he led the way inside. He checked thee forms and started towards the designated court room. Erin was waiting for them. Jamie smiled.

"I see they gave you the case."

She nodded. "Figured that it was best to keep it in the family."

"How'd it go?"

"He was denied of course. So back into his hole."

Eddie looked beyond Erin. There was a thick wooden door with a small window. Eddie could see Donald Palmer handcuffed to a bench while two armed guards watched him carefully. Eddie was looking at him when his eyes suddenly flashed to hers. She felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly looked away. Jamie looked at her confused.

"What's wrong?"

"That guy just smiled at me all creepily."

Erin looked and nodded. "He's been doing that all morning."

Jamie grabbed his cuffs. "Well I can wipe the smirk off of his face."

Eddie then noticed what it was Palmer had been staring at. The clock on the wall. As each second ticked by his smile widened. Before Eddie could point this out to Jamie they heard a loud boom. Eddie was suddenly thrown backwards. She hit the hard stone wall and fell to the floor. Her vision was clouded by smoke and falling debris. She then had a loud ringing in her ears. She wanted to get up and look for Jamie but her instincts told her to stay down and to not move. After what felt like hours she saw people coming in past her. A firefighter bent over her and started to check her. He then lifted her into his arms and laid her n a gurney. She was whisked out into the fresh air. She shivered from the sudden gush of cold air. She had left her jacket in the squad car. An EMT looked at her badge and then the file that was still tightly clenched in her hands. She was soon loaded in an ambulance and was on her way to the hospital. The ride was a blur. Then when she arrived she saw a familiar face. Linda Reagan. She spoke to the emt then helped get Eddie inside. The doctor looked over her and took a cotton swab to her ears. She saw the blood and her eyes widened. But at least now she could hear. He looked at her carefully.

"Officer Janko? I'm Dr. Lane. Can you hear me?"

She nodded. She then looked around and saw Linda.

"Where's Jamie and Erin?"

Linda grabbed her hand and spoke quietly. "They're being looked at down the hall. Erin has a broken wrist and Jamie has a few cuts and bruises."

Eddie felt a little relieved. Linda left the room and entered a room two doors down. Jamie and Erin were in there surrounded by the other Reagans. Linda saw Danny and hugged him before looking at Jamie and Erin.

"I just spoke to Dr. Pierce. He told me you two were lucky."

Erin nodded. "The marshalls were killed. Dad just told us."

"And the prisoner?"

Jamie sighed. "Escaped through the freakin wall. He must have planted the bomb before his hearing started."

Frank patted his son on the shoulder. "We'll get him."

Jamie nodded and then tried to get out of bed. Henry pushed him back down.

"Easy now. You heard the doc."

Jamie looked at Linda. "I need to find Eddie. When the blast went off she wasn't next to me anymore. She could still be in there."

"No she's not. She's right down the hall getting checked out by Dr. Lane."

He gave a sigh of relief and then he remembered something and succeeded in getting out of the bed and onto his feet. Frank frowned.

"Get back in bed."

"After I check on my partner."

Frank looked like he was going to argue but then he nodded. Jamie looked at Linda.

"Where is she?"

"Rm 212."

He nodded and walked down the hall. He entered the correct room and saw Eddie on the bed in a hospital gown with a nurse checking her vitals. The nurse looked at him sternly.

"Family only."

Eddie looked and then spoke to the nurse. "He is family."

The nurse looked unsure but gave in. "Okay. I'll be back in a few minutes to check on you. If you need anything before then hit your call button."

Eddie nodded. She left and Jamie sat down on the stool by her bed. He grabbed her hand and looked at her carefully.

"Are you okay?"

She nodded. "Where's Palmer?"

"He escaped. The bomb was placed to blow a hole through the exterior wall. Right by where the guards were standing." He saw the bruises starting to color on her arms and face. He sighed. "Seriously how are you?"

"A few cuts and bruises and a concussion."

He nodded. "And...the baby?"

Her face fell slightly and he saw the fear in her eyes. "They are going to check in a few minutes."

He tightened his grip a little. "It will be okay."

Her voice shook as she spoke. "How do you know?"

"I just do."

They both looked when someone walked in. It was Dr. Lane with a tiny nurse. He spoke carefully.

"Officer you can wait outside."

Jamie spoke firmly. "I'm staying."

Dr. Lane looked to Eddie who nodded. He then pulled out a small machine and lifted Eddie's gown. He made sure that she was covered with a blanket before squirting some cold gel onto her stomach. Eddie held her breath until an odd sound filled the room. Dr. Lane looked at his watched and nodded.

"The fetal heartbeat is strong."

Jamie felt relieved. He kissed Eddie's forehead and looked up at Dr. Lane.

"So the baby is okay?"

He nodded and the nurse started cleaning off Eddie's stomach as he spoke.

"I want her to get an ultrasound in the morning with your ob/gyn but for right now the baby seems to be stable. The heart rate is good and she isn't bleeding."

Jamie nodded. Dr. Lane looked at Eddie.

"You can go home tonight but I would prefer it if someone stayed with you."

Jamie spoke before Eddie could. "I'll stay with her."

"Okay. Come back immediately if your vision is hazy or you start cramping or bleeding."

She nodded. The nurse handed her discharge papers and then let Eddie get dressed. Jamie waited for her then led her to where he and Erin had been. All of his family was still there. Danny looked when they walked in.

"Janko. How are you?"

"I'll live."

He smiled. Linda handed Jamie a stack of forms.

"You can go home tonight."

He nodded and signed them. Eddie looked at Erin. It looked as though she had gotten the worse of it.

"Are you okay?"

Erin nodded. "I'm lucky. The guards were not."

Eddie looked at Danny curious. "How did he get the bomb into the building?"

"We don't check them once they're in the van. Then he wouldn't have been checked again until he entered the court room. So he probably planted it before his hearing then detonated it when he returned."

Frank spoke with certainty. "We'll get him."

Eddie unlocked her apartment and walked in. Jamie flipped on the light and relocked it. Eddie sat on the couch and curled herself into a ball. Jamie took off his jacket before sitting at her feet. He placed his hand on her knee and spoke quietly.

"What's on your mind?"

She looked at him. "Today...I was terrified that we had lost it."

He nodded. "So was I."

She had tears in her eyes. "I never want to feel like that again."

"Agreed."

He pulled her to him gently and adjusted so he could wrap his arms around her.

She looked up at him. "I know we didn't plan it but...it's happening."

He nodded. "It is."

They were quiet for a while and Jamie thought that Eddie fell asleep. But then he felt a tear hit his arm. He squeezed her gently.

"Hey you heard the doctor the baby is okay."

She nodded. But he still knew that she was crying.

"We'll go to the doctor first thing in the morning and get the ultrasound."

She grabbed his hand and moved it directly onto her stomach. He kissed her head. Eventually they both fell into an uneasy sleep.
