A/N: Special thanks to lawslave for letting me borrow from the concept of her story "Making Up For Lost Time" for this chapter.

Chapter 3: 14x14

Dressed in his civies, Jamie stands outside the women's locker room at the 2-9 waiting.

A moment later the door opens and Eddie – also dressed in her civies - walks out.

"You know…" Jamie begins the second he sees his wife and they start walking together down the corridor "You could have at least given me a name." he lightly chastises "What was I supposed to do? Call up Mac and just say 'hey can you check up on hypothetical patient X?"

Eddie cringes a bit "Sorry." She apologizes "But it doesn't matter now, he's been released."

"Hey." Jamie prompts as he stops walking and turns to fully face his wife causing her to stop too "It always matters Eddie." He seriously counters "Now name?" he prompts.

Slowly a small appreciative smile appears on Eddie's face "Jimmy Catsavis."

"Thank you." Jamie simple accepts before turning to continue walking.

Watching after her husband as he goes, Eddie's smile turns to one based in pure love before she quickly moves to follow and catch up.

….

Jamie and Eddie sit at their table in silence eating – both concentrating on what is on their plates when suddenly Eddie looks up and over at her husband "I'm confused." She out of the blue declares.

Jamie lifts his head in slight confusion to look at his wife "About?"

"Your family." Eddie answers.

For a second, Jamie eyes at his wife waiting for more of an explanation but instead she just sits there silently looking at him "O…kay…" He slowly begins to prompt "Could you be a little more specific?"

"No." Eddie replies.

"No?" Jamie questions.

"No." Eddie repeats.

Jamie puts his fork down so he can concentrate on his wife across from him "If you don't tell what you are confused about, I can't help you."

"But could you help me?" Eddie challenges as she also puts her own fork down to focus all of her attention on her husband "Could you really? Because the entire time I've know you, there has been a certain order to things."

"Order?"

"Yes. Order." Eddie confirms "Danny, Erin, Joe, then you and now suddenly it's just… different."

"Different?"

"YES!"

"What's different Eddie? Nothing is different."

"See you say that because you think it's been this way the entire time but I'm telling you… it hasn't. It's just for some reason you don't see it. It's… it's like someone rewrote history and you all just went along with it! I mean you didn't really have a choice…" Eddie rambles.

"What are you talking about?" Jamie implores.

"You wouldn't believe me even if I told you." Eddie dismisses.

"Try me." Jamie deadpans.

Eddie studies her husband a moment then just decides to go for it "Okay here goes – Jamie, please list for me the order in which you and your siblings were born."

"What?" Jamie laughs out.

"Humor me." Eddie deadpans.

Jamie looks at his wife like she's a little nuts but when she gives him a look he obliges her "Danny, Erin, Joe, me."

Eddie narrows her eyes at her husband "So NOT Joe, Danny, Erin, then you?"

Now Jamie looks at his wife like she is totally nuts "WHAT? No!"

Eddie nods her head in agreement with her husband "Okay good." She accepts in relief "So I must have dreamt it then." She deduces "Yeah." She then decides "That's what I'm going with, that scene was a total figment of my imagination - which is sad because if it weren't for that one little WTH line, it would have been a really great scene."

Jamie tries desperately to figure out what his wife is talking about but he can't "Eddie…" Jamie pleads "WHAT are you talking about?"

"I dreamt, you, Erin, Frank and Henry met Danny at some restaurant to talk about the medal he was up for and Danny insinuated Joe was the oldest."

"Well he's not…" Jamie replies.

"THANK YOU!" Eddie profusely accepts before shaking her head in annoyance "Because you can't just rewrite history like that…" She begins to mutter to herself "I mean do they think we won't notice because oh, we will and how do THEY get it wrong? It's their job to know! And I mean it's not some minor detail – it's a huge ass detail! Ugh so frustrating!"

Again Jamie looks at his wife trying to follow her train of thought "Okay you are making absolutely no sense. Wait. Is this a hormone thing?" he questions "Maybe go take a pregnancy test and see if all our hard work has paid off." he jokes.

A true scowl appears on Eddie's face as she picks a napkin up off the table. Scrunches it up and tosses at her husband.

It lightly hits him in the upper chest.

"Ow." Jamie feigns as he quickly reaches up to catch the falling napkin while laughing.

Eddie rolls her eyes "I'm glad I could amuse you."

"Oh you do." Jamie immediately agrees while still laughing "Everyday." He adds as he sets the napkin down on the table next to him.

"Yeah well the next thing you know some kid is going to show up at our door and claim he's your long lost son by Sydney!" Eddie throws at him.

The smile and laughter on Jamie's face immediately dies away "That's not funny. Why would you say something like that?"

"Like the hormone pregnancy thing was funny?" Eddie challenges back before continuing on with her payback "I think his name would be James." She decides deep in philosophical thought.

In response Jamie picks up the crumpled up napkin Eddie tossed at him and tosses it back at her face hitting her square in the nose.

And even though Eddie blinks her eyes closed and flinches ever so slightly as it hits her she immediately pops her eyes back open and dawns a pompous, dismissive attitude "See that didn't hurt at all."

Not getting the result he was hoping for Jamie changes tactics "James is a good name though." He seriously notes running with her off the cuff remark "James Reagan." He announces trying it out "We should consider that."

For a moment Eddie just blinks her eyes at her husband at where he took the conversation and the seriousness in his voice "Wait. Are you serious? You like James? Are we actually talking baby names?" She asks as her eyes go a bit wide.

Seeing the stunned look on his wife's face Jamie internally smiles knowing he just got her "Too soon?" He innocently questions.

"Um YEAH!" Eddie declares before noticing a hint of a small smile on her husband's face "Wait." She realizes "You did that on purpose!" she accuses as she begins to reach for the crumpled napkin again but Jamie's hand springs out to cover hers stopping her.

"Wait!" He laughs out "We're even now, let's just leave it at that!"

"So truce?" Eddie suspiciously questions.

"Yes." Jamie amicably offers "Truce."

For a moment, husband and wife stare each other down but then they both simultaneously release the grips of their hands – Eddie's on the napkin and Jamie's on Eddie's hand.

They both settle back into their seats and in a comfortable silence both take the last few bites finishing off their dinner.

"So…" Eddie finally states when they are done "You want to clean up now or do that later and get right to our after dinner exercises?"

Jamie huffs out a laugh at the way his wife worded that "What? You don't want to wait half an hour?" he tosses at her.

Eddie rolls her eyes "It's not swimming Jamie."

"Oh something will be swimming." Jamie suggestively promises.

A smirk appears on Eddie's face "You want me to pick up that napkin again?" She warns.

"It is a bit of a turn on." Jamie honestly admits "You?" he challenges.

Eddie laughs "Well, I was the one that made the initial suggestion." She points out.

A matching smirk appears on Jamie's face "Race you." He offers.

Across the table Jamie and Eddie again eye each other but then in an instant they are both taking off for the bedroom laughing and shrieking the entire way.

...

A/N: Yeah okay so there is clearly a theme developing in each one of these chapters but what else is also clear is on the show we are going to go from "Do you want to start tonight?" to no mention of it ever again until what I'm guessing will be "Oh BTW, we're having a baby. What? That's great! Congratulations! Now who wants to say Grace?" in the final episode so maybe I wasn't completely off the mark with the title of this fic LOL and what the heck was that insinuated rewrite of where Joe sits in the lineage of Frank and Mary's children? ROTFL. I mean come on man I just had to poke fun at that because… well, in all seriousness it ruined the scene for me. I just couldn't get past that remark. Oh well 4 more episodes to go...
