"There's so much to do Jamie. I gotta pick out a dress. We need… Tablecloths! Tablecloths! We need them! We need to get you a nice tux. Flower arrangements! Centerpieces! Fondue. Cheese or chocolate? A swan ice sculpture!"

Jamie made a face at Eddie. There were so many ideas going through her head.

"A swan ice sculpture? Really babe? Do people really spend money on those things? We don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on our wedding."

Eddie was pacing like a tiger ready to pounce on its prey. Jamie was letting her have her space so she could think, but it was making his head hurt just listening to all the things she was listing. Grabbing for her hand, he managed to stop her pacing the length of the living room.

"Do you think I'm crazy for thinking about all this stuff Jamie?"

Jamie gave her a sympathetic gaze and ran a thumb over the knuckles of her left hand.

"No, I don't think so. Just very dedicated to finding the perfect way to plan our wedding."

Eddie sat down heavily on the couch and put her head in her hands. Suddenly, she felt a hand on the back of her neck, slowly rubbing circles over it.

"Jamie. Please don't do that right now. I need to concentrate."

Removing his hand, Jamie placed a couple of kisses to the back of her neck.

"Sorry babe. But listen. You don't have to do all this planning alone. I'm here. What else do we need? The rest of the family is here to help too. Don't ever feel like you have to do everything alone."

This made Eddie look up into Jamie's green eyes.

"You don't understand Jamie. I've had to work hard the last couple of years just being on patrol. A lot of guys out of my precinct don't even think I should be a cop. They think I'm some scared little girl."

Jamie furrowed his eyebrows and gave his two cents.

"They don't think that Eddie. I certainly don't think that. You are the bravest woman I know. I've seen you get mad. You're just like Scrappy Doo."

This made Eddie laugh.

"Scrappy Doo was always my favorite character from Scooby Doo. No one has ever given me that nickname before. I'm only allowing you to call me that and no one else."

Jamie pulled Eddie into his arms and cradled her.

"I hold babies like this every day. I like holding you like this because you are the love of my life. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. That and bringing babies into the world."

Eddie got an apprehensive look on her face. She was overthinking all this.

"Couldn't we just go down to the courthouse and get married tomorrow?"

Jamie placed a kiss to her shoulder and lay his chin on it.

"We could. But my family would be disappointed if we didn't have the wedding in our church."

Eddie sighed and buried her face in the side of Jamie's neck.

"Ugh. Planning a wedding is so stressful. I just want to get married. I just want you."

Jamie nodded and placed another kiss to her shoulder.

"Let me talk to dad and pop. I mean if you think about it, we practically got married during dinner last week. We said our vows in front of everyone in the family."

Eddie nodded and buried her face back into the side of Jamie's neck and breathed in his scent. He smelled like ivory soap. She was content with staying in his arms like this all night. She groaned when she heard Jamie's phone begin to buzz on the coffee table. Feeling him shift her slightly, she listened as he answered his phone.

"Jamie Reagan. Wait Mara. Slow down. She what? Give her .2 of Magnesium. She's asking for me. OK, I'll be there in 20 minutes."

Sighing Jamie hung up his phone. Eddie placed a long warm kiss to his neck.

"I know. Duty calls. Go bring that beautiful baby safely into the world."

Jamie nodded and leaned in for a kiss. Pulling away, he smiled.

"Duty does call. But that would be plural. As in babies. Quads."

Eddie shook her head at Jamie and playfully threw a pillow from the couch at him.

"Well, you are just setting all sorts of records now, aren't you? Twins, triplets, quads. What's next? Quints?"

Jamie's eyes widened and he paled slightly.

"Uh, that might require a C-section."

Eddie gave a small giggle and leaned back against the couch and watched as he opened up the door to the apartment.

"Hopefully you won't be home too late. I may have a surprise for you when you get here."

Jamie smirked.

"May I ask what the surprise is?"

Eddie got a mischievous look on her face.

"Shh. It's a secret."

Jamie gave half a pout and shut the door. Eddie burst out laughing after he left. Sometimes she liked to string him along like this. Especially when she had something planned for him.
