A/N: I meant to get this out before Friday's premiere (which had me grinning like an idiot because to me, Ameila was a version of Mia from my first story and dang it! I was toying with doing what Jamie did with The Chevelle in that premiere episode near the end of my story Blue Bloods: Family Ties but in the end decided to leave it a bit ambiguous so there could be the family dinner exchange about the cars in the final chapter lol) but life got busy and then the site was acting up again so better late then never though right? Anyhoo, this is a one shot that popped into my mind that takes us back to when Jamko first got engaged. It's pure fluff so enjoy.
...
Eddie walks up to her apartment door with Jamie following behind. She unlocks the door, opens it and the couple enter.
"Make yourself at home." Eddie prompts as she starts to move towards her bedroom "I'll be a few minutes."
"Okay." Jamie accepts as he starts for the couch but then pauses. He'd been to Eddie's apartment a few times in the past but never as 'the boyfriend' or hell 'fiancé' so he starts to really look around taking in how his future wife lives – her likes, her style and suddenly he lifts his head and looks towards the bedroom door. He'd never been in there – even that night after her first kill when she asked him to stay and he agreed, he stayed in the living room.
Tilting his head, Jamie makes a beeline for the bedroom, pushes the door open and just enters.
Eddie who is at her dresser removing some clothes looks over and watches her fiancé survey the room. His eyes land on the bed and a second later he makes a beeline for it, turns and plops his butt down with a little bounce – and then another and another as if testing it out.
Eddie smirks "What are you doing?"
"Seeing which bed I like better." Jamie simply replies as he bounces around a bit more then kicks his shoes off and moves to lie down "Yours or mine."
Amused by his antics, Eddie stops packing her bag and turns her full attention to Jamie "And?" she prompts.
"I don't know." Jamie admits as he flops around a bit more trying to get comfortable "Hmmmm."
Standing there watching him, a smile creeps up on Eddie's face.
A bit oblivious, Jamie continues to adjust his position and even move his head around on the pillow a bit when finally he catches sight of Eddie watching him and he does a bit of a double take in confusion "What?" he prompts.
"You're finally in my bed." She thoughtfully and a bit humorously notes.
Jamie listens to her words and a moment later an arrogant little look appears on his face as he invitingly pats the spot next to him and flashes Eddie his best smile.
The smile drops from Eddie's face "Except you're on my side. Get over." She instructs as she moves to stand next to what is normally her side of the bed.
Jamie frowns as he looks at his fiancée "This isn't your side, this is my side." He corrects "It's how we slept the two last night." He points out "Me here and you over there." He adds as he gestures to his right.
"Yes." Eddie agrees as she places her hands on her hips "Because we were in your bed but now you're in my bed so get over." She reiterates as she lifts her hand and gestures to the other side of the bed herself.
Jamie's face crinkles in thought and then an idea hits him "or…" he begins as he reaches over, grabs Eddie's outstretched finger pointing hand and pulls her towards him "We could just share."
"JAMIE!" Eddie screeches in laughter as she lands on top of him on the bed.
"Yes?" Jamie sweetly inquires as he holds her to him.
Still laughing, Eddie buries her head into his chest so Jamie leans slightly over and places a light sweet kiss on her head and it's a move that sends a rush of love through Eddie's entire body so she lifts her head to lock eyes with Jamie.
Seeing the emotion in her eyes, Jamie reaches over and tucks a stray lock of Eddie's hair behind her ear "Hi." He softly greets.
Not yet fully used to being on the receiving end of this kind of affection from Jamie, Eddie a bit bashfully offers a "Hi" in return.
Jamie smiles at her reaction but knowing being able to express all those feelings they both have for the other is still a bit overwhelming to both of them he clears his throat and tries to lighten the mood.
"So…" Jamie then notes "You said I was finally in your bed. What exactly does that mean?"
"Exactly what I said." Eddie reiterates "You are finally in my bed."
"How long have you wanted me in your bed?" Jamie curiously inquires.
"How long have you wanted me in yours?" Eddie counters.
"Oh a long time." Jamie admits.
"Same." Eddie offers.
Silence.
"Have you dreamt of me in your bed?" Jamie can't help but curiously inquire.
Eddie looks at her fiancé and raises her eyebrows "Have you dreamt of me in your bed?"
"Oh you Edit Marie Janko – soon to be Reagan have been the subject of many a dream."
"Oh really? Do tell!" Eddie prompts.
"I asked first." Jamie counters.
"Okay." Eddie flippantly admits "You may have been the subject of one dream - maybe two…" Eddie nonchalantly corrects before pausing "Possibly three tops!" She profusely insists.
Jamie laughs "I'll take it." He simply accepts before a playful little gleam appears in his eyes "Now what were we doing in those dreams?"
Eddie scoffs "Oh you really need me to spell it out for you?"
"Oh I don't need you too." Jamie playfully clarifies "I just want you too."
So Eddie leans up and whispers in Jamie's ear and when she pulls back she sees a blush has crept up on his face.
"Well that's ah… okay um yeah. Wow." Jamie stutters as he starts picturing what Eddie described in his head.
Eddie smirks and gives a little arrogant shrug "You asked."
Jamie's blush now turns to desire "Yes I did." He agrees.
Eddie repositions herself slightly "So what did you dream about?"
Now seeing the potential of where this could lead, Jamie leans down to whisper in Eddie's ear and after a couple of seconds, Eddie finds herself gulping at his words "Oh." She stammers out "Damn."
"I'd be up for making your dream a reality here in your bed." Jamie offers "If you're up for making mine a reality in mine."
"Well now…" Eddie impressively begins "Jameson Reagan that is quite the proposition there."
Jamie shrugs a little "I have my moments."
"Oh that you do." Eddie wholeheartedly agrees.
"So is that a yes?" Jamie prompts "Because to show you what a nice guy you are marrying, I'm even willing to start right here, right now making your dreams come true first."
Eddie bursts out laughing "Oh lord! That was corny!"
"But accurate no?" Jamie insists.
Eddie shakes her head at Jamie in pure amusement "The sacrifices you would make for love huh?"
"I am a man of service." Jamie boasts.
Again, Eddie drops her head to Jamie's chest laughing but then the next second Eddie springs up and moves to straddle her fiancé's lap sitting on him.
"Well this looks promising." Jamie eagerly quips as he looks up at Eddie and places his hands on her thighs.
But suddenly Eddie moves off him and gets off the bed.
"Hey!" Jamie unhappily protests "Where are you going?"
"I need to finish packing remember." Eddie simply reminds him.
"Or we could just stay here." Jamie counters "Because to truly decide on which bed we are keeping I think we actually need to sleep in it."
"Oh sleep huh?" Eddie challenges.
"Among other things." Jamie suggestively adds.
"You don't have any clothes here." Eddie points out "I mean unless…" She adds as she purposely pulls something frilly out of her drawer and opens it to display it "You want to wear something of mine."
"Clothes are so overrated." Jamie rejects.
Eddie raises her eyebrows a bit in peaked interest "Why Jamie Reagan are you saying you are willing to walk around my apartment in the buff? In the nude? Baring all for ME…" she emphasizes as she innocently brings a hand to her chest "…to see?"
"Cuz you haven't seen it already and will be seeing it for the rest of our lives?"
Slowly a smile creeps up on Eddie's face "Well when you put it that way, sold! Start striping."
"Not until you do." Jamie rejects.
"Except I don't need to strip." Eddie reminds him "I have clothes."
"I have clothes too!" Jamie states "The ones I'm wearing."
"So you're going to sleep in those?" Eddie challenges.
"Heck no." Jamie replies "But I'm not going to sleep yet am I?"
Suddenly Eddie lifts her head in thought "What do you normally sleep in?"
A little unprepared for the direction the conversation just turned, Jamie looks quizzically at his fiancée.
"Well for obvious reasons neither of us have worn much of anything the last couple of nights but eventually…"
"Right." Jamie notes in understanding – there was still a lot they needed to discover about the other "Tshirt and sweats. You?"
"Tank top PJs."
Jamie nods his head in acceptance at hearing that "Sounds cute." He notes.
Eddie's face scrunches up at his comment "Cute?" She challenges.
"Yeah cute." Jamie reiterates "I can just picture you in them and you look cute. In fact show me a pair, that way I'll know if what I'm picturing is correct."
Eddie eyes Jamie a moment, then shakes her head as she gives in and opens another drawer. She goes to grab the first pair on top to pull out and show him but then pauses. A moment later she starts rummaging through the drawer. And rummaging and rummaging.
"Okay what are you doing already?" Jamie questions at the amount of time it is taking for her to pick a pair.
"Looking for the perfect pair to show you." Eddie explains.
Not understanding what the big deal seems to be, Jamie's face scrunches up "Just pick one."
"Just pick one?" Eddie scoffs out as she keeps looking "God you are such a guy."
At hearing that Jamie's face scrunches up even more – there's a line he'd never heard Eddie say to him before "What?" he questions confused.
Eddie stops rummaging and whips around to face her fiancé "Jamie, this will be the first impression you get of what I sleep in so I need to show you the right pair."
Jamie looks at his fiancée a little sideways "Um it's just clothes Eddie."
Eddie rolls her eyes and grunts out an "UGH!" As she turns her attention back to her drawer.
"Wow." Jamie mumbles under his breath "If this is what it's like showing me a simple pair of pj's, it's a good thing I don't have to go wedding dress shopping with you."
Having heard him, Eddie freezes. Then her shoulders sag. A second later she grabs the first random pair of pjs on top, turns and walks to the bed and as she moves around to the free side she lightly tosses the PJs at Jamie "Here." She states right before moving to plop herself down in defeat next to her fiancé. Jamie picks up the tank top and holds it up to look at as Eddie just lays there looking up at the ceiling.
"Yup pretty much how I pictured it." Jamie notes.
Eddie sighs in even more defeat causing Jamie to turn his head to look at her "You okay?"
"This." Eddie begins as she gestures her hand back and forth between them "Is just going to take a bit of getting used to."
"What is?" Jamie questions.
"This… this instinct to make a good impression." Eddie explains "I mean it's weird, as partners, as friends we know almost everything about one another – our habits – good and bad but yet suddenly standing at that drawer it was like I was about to go on a first date with this guy I am over the moon for and I had to find the perfect outfit to show you to make the best impression."
"Oh." Jamie notes "Well for future reference you could have pulled out a burlap sack and I would have been like 'okay,' but I get what you are saying - this part of our relationship is new."
"Yup." Eddie agrees.
A comfortable silence befalls the couple before Jamie's mouth starts to curve up into a smile "Over the moon huh?"
Eddie lifts her left hand into the air to display her engagement ring "Well I would not have said yes to this if I wasn't."
Jamie's smile grows "Well just so you know I would not have offered that to you if I wasn't over the moon too."
At hearing that a smile forms on Eddie's face "See." she then realizes "We're still in that let's make goo goo eyes at each other phase."
"Goo goo eyes?" Jamie challenges.
Eddie rolls onto her side to face her fiancé "You know what I mean."
"Yeah." Jamie sighs as he turns his head to look at Eddie "I guess I do." He adds before giving her a really, really bad impression of a goo goo eye face.
"OH MY GOD." Eddie groans out while laughing "I knew you were going to do that!"
Jamie raises a slight eyebrow at the woman next to him "And what does that tell you?"
"What does what tell me?" Eddie questions.
"You knowing that I was going to make that kind of face at you." Jamie prompts.
Eddie thinks about that then huffs out a bit of a laugh in awe "That I know you." She admits.
"Exactly." Jamie agrees "We're past the first impression stage Eddie." Jamie continues "Because seriously like I just said, you could walk down the aisle in a burlap sack and I would still think you are the most beautiful, amazing woman alive."
Smiling, Eddie turns her head to look at her fiancé but a moment later her brow furrows in thought "So what your saying is there is someone hotter and more amazing then me that's dead?"
For a moment Jamie just stares at Eddie a bit speechless as he tries to figure out how to even reply to that.
"No!" He just finally gets out "That's not what I'm saying at all! There is no one hotter or more amazing then you dead or alive - ever - it's not even a contest." He just begins to ramble "I mean if I gave the impression that..."
Suddenly Eddie snickers and lightly brings a hand to his lips to shhh him "Okay you can stop rambling." She chuckles. "Because you do realize you just said 'if I gave the impression' right?"
Under her hand, Eddie feels Jamie close his mouth and then groan in defeat so Eddie pulls her hand away.
"Not so easy is it?" She challenges.
"No." Jamie admits "But now that we are both aware…" he adds as his voice trails off and Eddie nods her head in complete agreement.
"Okay…" Eddie suddenly begins "Let's see what else we should probably know about the other now…"
They both lay their thinking but nothing seems to come to either of their minds.
"Well this is useless." Eddie suddenly announces.
"I guess we just have to let this happen naturally." Jamie deduces.
"Naturally." Eddie repeats.
"Yeah naturally." Jamie reiterates before joking "I mean come on if your loud chewing didn't turn me off nothing I discover now will."
Eddie's face scowls as she takes in a very unhappy deep breath of air.
Now thinking that may have been the wrong thing to say, Jamie quickly offers an "I love you." in an attempt to appease his new fiancée.
"Ugh." Eddie grunts out "You're just saying that because you think it will make me not want to smack you!"
"Will it?" Jamie queries.
"No." Eddie replies.
"So some things won't change." Jamie notes "Good to know."
Suddenly Eddie begins to get off the bed "I need to keep packing."
"I kinda think we should try staying here tonight." Jamie counters as he watches his fiancée walk back over to her dresser.
"All the food is at your place." Eddie reminds him as she starts pulling out clothes again.
"Oh. Right." Jamie notes "Okay we'll pick another day to stay here then."
"Sure." Eddie agrees.
"Need help?" Jamie offers.
"Sure." Eddie accepts "I have a couple of things hanging on the rail in the bathroom, can you grab those for me?"
"Okay." Jamie accepts as he gets off the bed and heads out of the room to the bathroom. He gets there and sees the articles of clothing Eddie is talking about so he moves to swipe them up but just then his eyes catch sight of a bottle of shampoo on the counter and he pauses. He reads the label then a moment later swipes the bottle up. He flips the cap open and takes a whiff.
A familiar and intoxicating scent reaches his nose and his mouth drops open. A second after that he spins and heads back to the bedroom "Shampoo?" he begins the second he enters the room "That's what the scent has been this entire time? Shampoo?"
Eddie stops packing and looks at her fiancé "What are you talking about?"
"Five years we've sat side by side in a car." Jamie explains "And for 5 years I've smelt THIS!" he adds as he lifts and gestures at the bottle "Here I thought it was some fancy intoxicating perfume but now I find out it's shampoo?"
It's hard for Eddie not to let an amused smile creep up onto her face "Yup." She confirms "Shampoo."
"Wow." Jamie notes before snapping the cap back closed then walking over and tossing the bottle into the bag Eddie is packing.
Eddie looks at the bottle then up at Jamie "You want me to take my shampoo?"
"Yes." Jamie replies.
Again Eddie tries not to laugh "You know instead of me carting this back and forth we could just buy another bottle right? It's $3 down the street at the bodega."
"$3?" Jamie repeats in awe "Hell let's buy a whole box so you never run out."
"Jamie!" Eddie laughs.
"I'm serious." Jamie insists "What happens if the manufacturer suddenly stops making it?"
"It's just shampoo." Eddie reminds him but Jamie profusely shakes his head
"Nope." Jamie rejects "This shampoo and you are permanently intertwined in my mind."
"You realize I showered this morning using your shampoo and you didn't seem to notice."
"Oh I noticed, I just didn't say anything." Jamie reveals "Man…" he adds as he starts to head back out of the bedroom "That's going to be so trippy that full on smell wafting through the apartment after you shower instead of just getting the lingering after effect at work."
Watching Jamie disappear out the door, Eddie simply shakes her head in amusement.
Yup… She silently notes in her head as she goes back to removing items from the drawer and packing … there were DEFINITELY things they still needed to discover about one another and that thought only made her smile more.
Suddenly Jamie reenters the room. He makes a beeline for his still lost in thought fiancee, spins her around and kisses her in want.
Forgetting all about packing, the clothing in Eddie's hands slips from her fingers as her hands find their way onto Jamie's shoulders and snake around into his hair.
A moment later, Jamie slowly pulls back "Sorry." he heavily breathes out "That scent was making me crazy and I realized I can do something about that now."
Eddie stares up at him a mere second longer before just leaning up to kiss him again - hard. She begins backing him up towards her bed and when the back of Jamie's legs hit the bed, Eddie gives him a little push and he falls backwards onto it with a little bounce.
"Looks like you are about to get your wish of testing out which bed you like best." Eddie admits before crawling on top of him and the kissing resumes.
