"ok, we need…" Jamie started as Eddie pushed the shopping cart around the store, "pacifiers, clothes, and another baby bottle."
Eddie gave Amelia a stuffed animal to play with and a blanket to hold onto to keep her busy. "You want Mr. Giraffe?" Jamie asked her as he waved the toy in front of her.
Eddie was grabbing a few bottles and looking around when she turned her head and saw Jamie with her.
Jamie passed Amelia the toy. She gripped onto the giraffe and giggled as Jamie gave her a goofy face. She threw the toy at him, but it missed and ended up on the floor in the middle of the isles.
"What are you doing?" He asked in a silly voice and walked over to pick up the toy and saw Eddie laughing at him.
"She's already giving you sass." She said to him and laughed.
Jamie bent down to pick up the giraffe and when he lifted his head, he saw a brown hair girl walking closer to him.
"Jamie?" Sydney called out as she moved closer to him.
Jamie turned his head to look at Eddie, sighed and turned his head back. "Hey, Syd."
She walked up to him and gave him a hug. Before he said another word to her, Amelia started crying.
"Jamie," Eddie said to him as she walked up to Amelia, took her out of the cart and held her.
He saw Amelia crying and walked over to give the toy to Eddie. "Here," he said softly as he gave the toy to Amelia. She clutched the giraffe and held it in her hand. She leaned her head over on Eddie's shoulder and yawned.
"Uh Syd, this is my wife Eddie and my daughter Amelia." He said as he introduced his family to her and watched as her expression changed.
She gulped, "hi, nice to meet you." She said as she shook her hand. "So, how've you been?"
"Good, how are you?" He asked as the conversation got more awkward than before.
"Good, I just got transferred back here and I'm just grabbing some stuff for the house." She told him as she clutches her handbag. "How's the cop life?"
He had a feeling where this conversation was going. "Great actually, that's where I met Eddie," he said as he saw her getting tensed up. "How 'bout you?" he asked.
She hesitated before she answered, "I have a boyfriend. He's at home waiting right now." She lied with a nervous laugh and then cut their conversation short. "Anyways, I should finish, so I can get going." She told him.
"Nice seeing you," Jamie said he reached over to grab Amelia.
"You too," she said to him, "nice meeting you." She said to Eddie and walked away. Amelia started giggling in which Jamie and Eddie both started laughing.
"I guess she figured out how weird that was." He said to Eddie.
"You proposed to her before?" She asked Jamie confused.
"Yeah, longgggg time ago." He said to her as he rubbed his nose against Amelia. "Everything happens for a reason. You're mine." He said to Eddie and kissed her.
"All right mister you're being too sappy right now, and Amelia needs some warmer clothing," she said to him.
"How about this?" Jamie said holding up a pink North face and UGG boots.
Eddies eyes sparked, "oh my god." She said as pick up the outfit from him. "She's is so spoiled." She said to Jamie.
"Yeah, but it's adorable," Jamie said as he placed the boots on her tiny feet. "Look, perfect size." He said to her. "Sold!"
Eddie laughed as she held up a shirt in front of her that said 'mommy's girl'.
"Oh no, what happened to daddy huh." He said to her.
"She likes me better." She said to him.
"Mhmm." He said to her and looked at Amelia, "who do you like better Daddy or momma?" he questioned her and she looked at both of them clueless.
Eddie looked at her and Amelia immediately held her arms out towards Eddie to hold her. "Haha, I love you." She said as she smothered Amelia with kisses.
He looked at Amelia and took her from Eddie, "you may like mommy better, but your first word is gonna be a daddy," he said in a coed voice.
Eddie looked at him estranged, "that's what you think," she said as she grabbed a fuzzy onesie and put it in the cart. "We have to go soon, she has her check-up." She told him as she started wrapping things up and making her way to the registers.
"She needs more shots?" Jamie asked her.
Eddie looked at him, "yeah, two." She sadly explained. Last time Amelia got shots, Jamie had to hold her so she wouldn't squirm and Eddie just broke down.
"Does she need to get shots? Is there another way?" She asked the doctor trying to avoid it at all costs.
The doctor looked at her, "no, this is all we have." She said to her as she started to unwrap everything.
Amelia was laying down on the bed in the room when the doctor spoke, "can one of you hold her so she doesn't squirm."
Eddie's eyes went to Jamie, she couldn't do it. She couldn't hold her still while she was crying.
Jamie moved to the bed and put Amelia in his lap. Eddie moved in front of Amelia and did peek-a-boo to keep her from looking at the doctor. She took one look over and saw the doctor coming closer to her and she started to whimper.
"Sweetie, look at me," Eddie said trying to calm her down while Amelia was noticing Jamie was holding her as she tried to come free.
Amelia started crying as she was being held down, in which Eddie started crying watching her. "oh Amelia." She said when she started to scream from the two shots that went in her thigh.
The doctor put two band-aids on her and she Immediately held her arms out for Eddie to grab her. "It's okay, I know," Eddie said as she could feel Amelia shaking and screaming.
"All done." She said as she gave her kisses on her head. "It's all done." She whispered to herself and Amelia at the moment.
"Good job," the doctor said as she cleaned up.
Amelia clenched onto Eddie, not liking Jamie right now. "It's okay," she said to her soothing and bounced her up and down.
Amelia's tears started to dry up along with Eddie's, "she okay?" Jamie asked her feeling bad.
"She's gonna be just fine," Eddie said to him and as she passed Amelia to him.
"Hey princess," Jamie said to her as she started to squirm again and got fussy, "okay, she doesn't like me right now." He said as he gave her back to Eddie.
Eddie gave Amelia her blanket and she held her in a cradle as her eyes fluttered to stay awake and she was out within the instant.
