Eddie stared at the little pink plus sign for close to an hour. How did she let this happen? How could she do this to Jamie? She set the test aside and got ready for work. On her way to work she promised herself that she would go to the clinic and get a blood test before she said anything to Jamie. She waited in the squad car with her cup of coffee trying to stay calm. He smiled as he slid into the driver's seat.
"Morning Janko."
She forced a smile. "Reagan."
He started towards their patrol sector for the day and quickly glanced t her.
"What? No bacon sandwich today?"
"I woke up late."
He could tell that something was wrong but he chose to drop it. About an hour into their shift a call came over the radio.
"We've got a EDP at Falcon Diner."
Eddie glanced up. "That's around the corner."
He nodded and grabbed his radio. "10-4."
They walked to the diner and found a woman screaming at a busboy. Jamie approached her cautiously.
"Ma'am you need to calm down."
The woman turned and yelled. "Who says so?"
"Me, Officer Reagan."
Eddie walked over to the busboy. "Why was she yelling?"
"When she ordered she said that she was allergic to mushrooms so we didn't put them on her salad. Well when I brought the salad out to her she started screaming about how the guy next to her gt mushrooms and she didn't. Next thing I know she is trying to tackle me."
Jamie and Eddie glanced at each other but before they could do anything the woman grabbed a steak knife off a nearby table and went at Jamie. She cut him on his forearm. Eddie tried to grab the knife from her but ended up getting her hand sliced. Eddie grabbed her radio and glanced at Jamie who was now on the ground.
"We got an officer down at The Falcon Diner. Request immediate backup."
She helped Jamie to his feet and saw that he was bleeding all over the place. She pulled out her gun and pointed it at the woman.
"Ma'am you need to put the knife down."
"No!"
"If you don't put it down, more cops are going to come and the more trouble you will be in. So set the knife on the table and I can make things easer for you."
She paused and stared at Eddie for a second. Eddie thought for a second that she was going to give up. Instead she charged at Eddie, knocking her to the floor. Eddie felt a sharp pain rip on her arm. Jamie grabbed hold of the women and held her in a death grip. The knife dropped to the ground. Jamie kept ahold of her until backup arrived. He handed the woman off and he helped Eddie to her feet. Their Sergeant insisted that they both go to the hospital and get looked at.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Eddie sat by herself in the emergency room bed. She felt her phone buzz an glanced at it. Her little sister Alyssa.
a- Hey I've tried calling u
e- had a situation at work
a- U ok?
e- Woman went nutzo with a knife
a- Holy shit call me when u can
e- k
She smiled. Ever since their dad had been put in jail Alyssa and Eddie had gotten close. It almost killed Eddie to have to leave her when she entered the Police Academy. Alyssa lived in Jersey with their mom and hated it. Their mom was use to the good life and when their dad lost everything she kinda went off the deep end. She was now dating any guy that had money. It frustrated both of her daughters. Eddie put her phone aside when the nurse came in.
"How's my partner?"
"Officer Reagan? He is getting stitched up. He should be fine. We are going to take you up to x-ray in a minute."
Eddie hesitated before speaking. "Umm...There is a...slight chance that...i'm pregnant."
"How slight?"
"I took a test this morning and it came back positive."
"We can order a blood test."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jamie finished signing his release papers then met his family in the waiting room. Erin hugged him tight.
"Are you ok?"
He nodded. "Yeah just needed a few stitches."
Linda rolled her eyes. "Just like your brother."
Frank looked his son over. "That was a close one."
"I know." Jamie looked around and then back to his father. "Did you hear anything about Eddie?"
Linda spoke up. "I spoke with her nurse a while ago and she was going to go up to x-rays. I'll try and get an update."
Erin glanced at Jamie. "Is there anyone we need to call for her?"
"Her mom and sister are in Jersey. I don't think she would want me to call them unless it's serious."
Frank nodded. Linda went back to work leaving Jamie with Frank, Henry and Erin. They hadn't been sitting long when Danny and Baez walked in. Danny looked at Jamie.
"You alright Kid?"
"Yeah. Just waiting to hear about Janko."
Baez spoke. "That woman is apparently bi-polar. She has been off her meds for a while."
Henry chuckled. "The woman flipped out over mushrooms. She needs some stronger meds."
Linda came out and looked at Jamie.
"I just spoke to Dr. Carson. They want to take Eddie for some x-rays but first they are running blood test."
Jamie nodded.
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Eddie was nervous as se waited anxiously for the doctor to return. The nurse came in and handed her a cup of water.
"You're partner is worried about you. He's sent Linda back to get information."
Eddie just smiled. She knew Jamie would worry more about her then himself. She glanced up when the doctor came in.
"Well Officer you are pregnant."
He kept talking but Eddie's mind was racing so fast that she didn't hear a word he said. When she signed her release papers she was also handed a prescription for a prenatal vitamin. Eddie saw the Reagans sitting together. She knew how close Jamie was to his family. They were Catholic and didn't believe in having children out of wedlock. Eddie didn't know if she wanted to marry Jamie. She knew that she loved him but she didn't know if he loved her.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jamie had been sitting with his family in the waiting room and looked up when he heard the door open again. Eddie finally walked out and he stood.
"You ok?"
She smiled and showed him her arm. " I am gonna have one hell of a scar."
Danny laughed at her. "Welcome to the force."
Jamie gave her a once over checking for more injuries before speaking. "Do you want a ride home?"
"Uh no thanks. Since boss gave us a few days off i'm gonna go see my mom and sister."
He nodded. "Well at least let me get you a cab."
She laughed. "I'm fine Reagan. I'll see you on Monday."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Eddie let herself into her mom's house and dropped her keys on the kitchen counter.
"Ma! Lala!"
Alyssa Janko came running into the room. "Eddie!"
Eddie hugged her sister tight and then smiled. "God you look old."
Alyssa laughed. "Well i'll be 17 in a few months."
When their mother entered the room Eddie was quick to notice the man that was with her. He looked half her age. But Carla Janko just smiled.
"Edit what a surprise."
Eddie hugged her mother but let go quickly. "My boss gave me a few days off so I figured I could use some time out f the city."
Carla nodded. "Good." She motioned to the man to step forward. "David this is my daughter Edit. She's a Police Officer."
David smiled. "Hello Edit."
"Eddie please." She glanced over and saw that Alyssa was looking at her feet. She looked between her mom and David. "How long have you two been dating?"
Carla smiled. "Well..." She held up her left hand and revealed a huge diamond ring. "We are engaged."
Eddie didn't know whether to smile or scream. "Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"Wow...congrats I guess."
Carla smiled. "Thanks sweetheart. Why don't you get settled in the guest room and I will order some thai food."
Eddie walked upstairs with Alyssa right behind her. As soon as she shut the door Eddie looked at her.
"Ok. Spill."
Alyssa plopped down on the bed. "They met online 2 months ago. He's some kind of lawyer." She hesitated before talking again. "He lives in the Hamptons. He has a one bedroom house."
"Well are they gonna get a house together?"
"No. They're moving into his place."
"Where are you going to sleep?"
"Here. By myself."
Eddie stopped unpacking her suitcase. "Lala you're only 16. Legally you can not live here alone. Someone needs to take care of you."
"Mom goes out every night and is gone during the weekends usually. She leaves cash on the counter for me. I've been alone for a while."
"Why didn't you call me?"
"Because you have worked so hard and I didn't want you to feel guilty."
Eddie sighed and sat down next to her. "Why don't you come live with me?"
"You have a one bedroom apartment."
"I can get something bigger. I need to anyways."
"Why?"
Eddie smiled. "I'm pregnant."
"What! Who? When?"
"My partner Jamie and a couple months ago. I was upset and he was there."
"Do you love him?"
Eddie smiled to herself and was quiet for a minute. "More then I ever knew I could love someone."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Eddie returned to the city she made a point to go by Commissioner Reagan's house on Sunday. Not to see him but Erin. She hesitated before ringing the doorbell. A young boy answered, Jamie's nephew Sean.
"Hello i'm Offficer Janko, Jamie's partner."
Before Sean could speak Danny yelled from somewhere in the house.
"Who is it?"
Sean yelled back. "It's Uncle Jamie's partner Officer Janko."
Frank yelled back. "Well invite her in."
Sean smiled at her. "Come on in Officer."
"Thanks and please call me Eddie."
He nodded and led her into the dining room. It looked like she had interrupted their Sunday dinner. She smiled sheepishly.
"Sorry for interrupting."
Frank smiled. "Would you like to join us?"
"Um no thank you Commissioner I was just hoping to talk to ADA Reagan."
Erin looked curious. "Of course."
She stood and led Eddie into the study.
"What can I do for you?"
Eddie pulled out a file and handed it to her. "I feel horrible asking this from you but I was hoping you could help me with a personal matter?"
Erin looked at the file and nodded. "Is Alyssa Janko your niece?"
"Sister. My parents attempt to save their marriage. My mom is getting remarried to a lawyer from the Hamptons and wants to leave Alyssa by herself. She's only 16."
"So you want to fight your mom for guardianship?"
"Do you think I have a case?"
Erin looked up from the file. "Who is your mom marrying?"
"David Kemp."
Erin snorted. "He is a pain." She then smiled. "I think you have a good chance. Alyssa wants to live with you?"
"We talked about it this weekend."
"Well the judge will do what is best and most stable for her but since she is 16 she will also get a say in where she goes. I can help you file the right papers and you'll need a few character witnesses. I think Jamie and a few fellow officers could do it."
She led her out of the room and Eddie smiled. "Thank you so much Miss. Reagan."
"Erin please."
They reentered the dining room and Sean smiled at them.
"Hey Officer Janko...I mean Eddie, can we see your arm? Uncle Jamie said you two got stabbed."
Linda looked at him. "Sean that is rude."
Eddie smiled. "Sure Sean."
She rolled up her sleeve and showed the boys the healing laceration on her forearm. They both looked impressed. Jack smiled.
"It looks like something out of a Frankenstein movie."
Eddie put her sleeve down and Frank pulled a chair up and settled it between Jamie and Nicky.
"Officer Janko you have to at least try Linda's apple pie. I promise you won't regret it."
Eddie smiled and sat down. Once everyone was settled Jamie glanced at her.
"How was you weekend?"
"Good. My sister and I went to the boardwalk and got some fried oreos and fries."
He shook his head. "You eat way too much junk food."
She looked down at her still flat stomach. "I think I'm good for now."
After the meal was over Eddie helped Erin and Linda tidy the table and then went to leave.
"Thank you Commissioner Reagan."
He stood and shook her hand. "Off the job it's Frank."
She smiled and Jamie stood. "I'll walk you to your car."
He held the door open and then walked beside her.
"So what did you need my sister for?"
Eddie sighed. "My mom got engaged and she wants to leave my sister in Jersey alone. So I want to file for guardianship."
He looked surprised. "Wow you sure your ready for that?"
"Yeah. I mean Alyssa's a smart kid 2 years she'll be off to college. She just needs someone to look after her."
"Well she would be with the best person."
She smiled at him and when they reached her car he hugged her briefly.
"I'll see you tomorrow."
She nodded. He had started to walk away when she decided it was now or never.
"Hey Reagan! Can I talk to you for a sec?"
He turned around and nodded. "What's up?"
She took a deep breath before quickly speaking. "I'm pregnant and it's yours."
Jamie stood there like a statue for a while. Eddie decided that she should talk before she lost all of her nerve.
"I just thought you should know. I'm telling boss tomorrow and we're probably not gonna be partners anymore."
Jamie was still quiet. Eddie waited for a few more minutes before nodding.
"Umm so we can talk about this more some other time or never if you want. See you tomorrow Reagan."
She left him standing there.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
When Jamie got back to his apartment that night he felt like a zombie. Like he was just going through the motions. He was going to be a father. He remembered the night he and Eddie slept together well. He didn't regret it. But was he ready for this? Was he ok loosing her as a partner? He didn't want things to change between them but he knew no matter what they would. He then thought of his dad. Frank was going to be angry. They are traditional. Jamie walked over to his dresser and opened his sock drawer. He pulled his mother's engagement ring out and stared at it. He loved Eddie. He couldn't deny that if he tried. But did she feel the same about him?
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The next day Jamie still felt as though he was on a sinking ship. He went to work and got dressed. He was a little shocked to see that he and Eddie were still riding together. He met her out in the car and spoke once she was settled in the passenger's seat and he started to drive.
"You didn't talk to Sarg?"
She shook her head. "He was busy. Plus I don't know exactly how to tell him."
Jamie smiled slightly and tried to lighten the mood. "Well I wouldn't tell him like you told me. You at least should buy him a drink first."
She laughed quietly. "How about I just don't blurt it out like I did with you."
"That is a good plan."
They stayed quiet for a while before he spoke to her nervously.
"Have you...you know...seen a doctor?"
"Just at the hospital after the stabbing. I made an appointment for tomorrow."
He nodded. "Do you want me to come with you?"
She glanced at him. "If you want."
"I just...don't want you there alone."
She smiled. "Thanks."
He focused on the road for a while and then they patrolled on foot. He kept glancing at her and had no idea why. He knew she wasn't made of glass but he had an overwhelming need to protect her. To make sure that she was ok. She met his glance finally and spoke.
"What?"
He quickly looked straight ahead. "Nothing. Where do you want to go for lunch?"
"I don't care you pick."
"Hotdogs it is."
Jamie was grateful that they had a quiet day. When he was done getting dressed he waited for Eddie by her car. When she finally came out she walked over to him. He felt butterflies in his stomach but spoke.
"So i'll meet you at the doctor's tomorrow and then we have work."
She nodded. "I want to wait a few days before I tell Sarg."
"You don't have to be nervous. It's not like you did something wrong."
She smiled. "I just don't want to loose you as my partner. You are the one person who has never let me down."
He smiled slightly and grabbed her hand. "You can't get rid of me that easy."
She passed him a business card. "Here's the address and time."
He nodded and stuck it in his pocket. "I'll see you there."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jamie drove to his dad's house and let himself in the back door.
"Grandpa! Dad!"
"In the living room!"
Jamie entered the room and found Nicky and Henry playing cards while Frank poured himself a drink. Henry smiled at him.
"What brings you here this late?"
Jamie sat down next to his niece and shrugged. "Just have a lot on my mind. I wanted to be around people."
Nicky nudged him. "You are just in time." She laid he cards down. "2 pair."
Henry chuckled. "Good try but..." He laid his cards down. "Straight to the Jack."
Nicky groaned. "I'm gonna go get ready for bed."
Jamie glanced at his dad. "Why's Nicky here?"
"The dorm's are closed due to no heat and Erin is working late."
He nodded and Henry reshuffled the cards.
"So what's on your mind?
Jamie hesitated before speaking. "Eddie."
Henry smiled. "She is a good looking girl. What's the problem? She got a boyfriend?"
"No. We're probably not gonna be partners anymore."
Frank looked at him. "She being reassigned?"
He shook his head and avoided his father and grandfather's eyes. "She's pregnant."
Henry whistled under his breath. "Wow. She's not with the father?"
Jamie spoke so quietly they could barely hear him."It's mine."
Frank sat up straighter and looked at him. "Excuse me?"
Jamie lifted his head and spoke up. "It's my baby."
Frank raised his voice slightly. "Well how the hell did that happen?"
Henry spoke up. "Francis I would assume the normal way."
Frank stood and rolled his eyes. "I know that Pop. I mean how did you let it happen?"
Jamie shrugged. "I wanted to check on her after her first time shooting a civilian. She was upset and she asked me to stay with her and one thing led to another."
Frank sighed. "What are you going to do?"
Jamie reached into his pocked and pulled out the box with his mom's ring inside. "I want to do the right thing fir my kid."
Henry looked at him serious. "Jamie. Is this what you want? Look at Erin. If you get married before you're ready it ends badly. I don't ant to see you go through that."
"I know I love Eddie more then anything."
Frank sat back down. "Just do whatever you think is right."
000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Eddie had been sitting in the waiting room for a few minutes when Jamie walked in. He quickly sat down next to her. She smiled and handed him some papers.
"They have more questions then the S. ."
He smiled and filled out the forms. When they were finally called back they had Eddie take off everything from the waist down and covered her with a scratchy wool blanket. When they finally got to see their baby Eddie felt emotional. She felt Jamie grab her hand and kiss her forehead. It may just have been a tiny flicker on a screen but to Eddie it felt like she was seeing the world for the first time. The doctor printed out some pictures for them and led them out. Later in their squad car Eddie was looking at the sonogram pictures while Jamie drove. She turned one and then glanced at him.
"How the heck did the doctor see an arm? It looks like a peanut."
He laughed. "I didn't even see it until he pointed it out. It all looked like a blur."
"Plus how many times did I have to say that I do not do drugs or smoke?"
"Like a dozen."
He glanced at her before speaking again.
"I umm...told my dad last night."
She made a face. "How did that go?"
"Better then I thought."
"I haven't told my mom. But Alyssa knows."
"I was going to tell Danny and Erin on Sunday."
Eddie held back a giggle. "You're going to tell them that you are having a baby with your partner after you go to church with them?"
He glanced over and cracked a smile. "Ironic huh?"
When they were finished with their shift they went to Jamie's place and had dinner. Eddie could tell Jamie wanted to talk about their future but he hadn't brought it up. When they were finished Eddie was getting ready to leave when he started looking nervous.
"Eddie. You know I love you and the only reason we agreed to hold back our feelings was because we wanted to stay partners."
"Yeah."
"Well I want to be a family. So will..."
"Jamie."
Eddie looked him in the eye and spoke seriously.
"I love you too. But I don't want this baby to be the reason we get married. We've never even lived together, or been on a real date, i'm in the middle of taking in my sister and we don't know how work is going to play out."
"We can figure all of that out."
"How about we just take things one step at a time?"
He thought about it for a minute before asking. "What is step one?"
"I guess you meeting my family."
"And then we can move in together?"
She nodded. "If you survive my mother."
"Hey I survived your father."
She laughed. "He's the easy one."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Eddie waited at the bus station anxiously. When the bus she was waiting for finally pulled up she felt like a little kid on Christmas morning. She waved as her little sister stepped off the bus.
"Alyssa!"
Alyssa looked up and walked over to her. "Hey Eddie."
"Do you need help with your bags?"
Alyssa shook her head and grabbed a big purple suitcase and a purple and blue flowered duffle. Eddie took her sister's brown leather backpack. Once they were in the car Alyssa looked at her sister in full uniform.
"Are you suppose to be at work?"
"I just got off. I promise I will change when we get home and then we can go out for dinner."
She nodded. "How is everything?"
Eddie shrugged. "Good. Jamie and I are no longer partners."
"Why won't your boss let you stay partners?"
"Because our judgment is impaired. If we were in a shoot out Jamie would be more focused on protecting me then looking out for himself or any civilians. It's too risky. We're just lucky Commissioner Reagan could keep us at the same division."
"So how are you and Jamie doing?"
She sighed. "Well we went on our first official date last weekend. Plus he went to my sonogram with me so I guess pretty good."
"Are you two going to move in together?"
"Eventually. We want to take things semi slow."
Alyssa cocked an eyebrow. "Umm I think it's a little late to get to know one another."
Eddie laughed. "We know each other very well. That is not the issue. We just don't know how everything will play out. Plus his family is like the royal family of the NYPD. Whereas our family..."
"Is a bunch of liars and thieves."
"Exactly."
When they got to Eddie's apartment, Eddie took her coat off and helped her sister with the suitcases.
"I cleared out closet space for you. Unfortunately until I move..." She led her to the back corner of the apartment. Eddie use to use it as an office but she transformed it into a makeshift bedroom. "I tried to make it like your old room."
Alyssa looked at the daybed against the small window, the small dresser and privacy curtains that surrounded the small space. "It's cute." She played with the bright pink comforter. "This bedding is adorable."
"You really like it?"
Alyssa hugged her tight. "It's amazing."
When they pulled apart Alyssa noticed the pile of clothes on the end of the bed and looked at her sister with a confused look.
"Jamie's sister pulled some strings and got you into Blessed Heart. It's a really good school and Jamie's niece goes there so you'll know someone."
"Can you afford private school tuition in New York?"
"Gran insisted on helping. So it's covered."
Alyssa sat on the bed. "What is Jamie's niece like?"
"You'll love Nicky. She and you have a lot in common."
She nodded and Eddie smiled. "Trust me she's great. I'm going to get changed and then you can pick where you want to go for dinner."
She nodded and Eddie went to change. She had just put on her jeans when she heard her phone buzz. It was a text from Erin.
e- Can you stop by my dad's house tonight? I just need you to sign some papers for Alyssa's school and I wanted her to meet Nicky before her first day."
eddie- Of course. We'll be there soon.
Eddie walked into the living room and saw Alyssa putting her clothes away in her dresser.
"Hey Jamie's sister wants us to stop by and sign some papers and you can meet Nicky."
Alyssa looked up. "Sounds good."
They drove to Commissioner Reagan's house. Eddie knocked on the door and Henry answered.
"Officer Janko come on in."
"Thank you Mr. Reagan."
"Please call me Henry. Here let me take your coats."
They handed him their coats and Jamie came around the corner.
"Hey."
He kissed Eddie quickly. Eddie motioned to her sister.
"Jamie this is my sister Alyssa. Alyssa, Jamie."
Jamie shook her hand and smiled. "I've heard a lot about you."
Alyssa smiled. "Same."
Jamie led them into the dining room and motioned for them to sit. "Erin is cooking and she will be very offended if you don't stay."
Alyssa and Eddie sat down. Nicky came out of the kitchen and walked over to Alyssa.
"Hey. You must be Alyssa. I'm Nicky."
Alyssa smiled. "Hi."
Nicky sat down next to her. "So you're a junior right?"
"Yeah. But I was in mostly senior classes."
"At Blessed Heart you will be. My mom has your schedule for you and we are in 3 classes together and have the same lunch. Word of advice, during first period try and get a seat in the back. Mr. Lawrence tends to spit a lot during lectures."
Alyssa nodded. "Good to know."
Danny and Henry sat down and Danny looked at Alyssa.
"Hi. I'm Danny Reagan, the good looking one."
Jamie rolled his eyes while Alyssa giggled. Sean and Jack came in and sat down beside their dad. Danny nudged Jack and gestured to Alyssa.
"What do you say when we got company?"
Jack smiled politely. "Hi, i'm Jack."
Sean looked at Alyssa quickly. "I'm Sean. Is Aunt Erin almost done? I'm starving."
Erin, Linda and Frank all walked in carrying food. Linda looked down at her son.
"One day you will learn to be patient." She smiled at Alyssa. "Hi, i'm Danny's wife Linda."
Alyssa smiled back and Frank extended his hand to her.
"Frank Reagan. Welcome to New York."
Alyssa shook his hand. "Thank you."
Erin sat then looked at Nicky. "Nicky it's your turn to say grace."
They all bowed their heads and Nicky said the prayer. Once everyone started eating Erin smiled at Alyssa.
"So Alyssa are you excited? New town, new school."
She nodded. "It's way different then Jersey. But I like it so far."
Nicky spoke while she buttered her bread. "Trust me you haven't seen the city yet. I'll give you the grand tour after school Monday."
Erin looked at her stern. "Not by yourselves."
"No I want to introduce her to Wyatt, Chris, Duncan, Mya, Anne..."
Danny looked up. "Most of those names are boys."
"That's kinda the point." She looked at Alyssa. "They're really cool and just friends."
Jamie spoke up. "Just be careful and look out for Alyssa until she gets her footing."
Nicky nodded. "No problem."
After dinner Alyssa and Nicky talked in the living room by themselves. On their way home Eddie spoke to her.
"So what do think of them?"
Alyssa smiled. "You never mentioned that Jamie is super hot."
Eddie rolled her eyes. "Seriously what do you think?"
"They're nice. Nicky is awesome. It's hard to meet friends that are mature and fun."
"Just make sure you two don't have too much fun with those boys."
"Ok."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Jamie sat playing chess with Henry while Nicky, Erin and Frank played cards. Henry looked at Jamie.
"Alyssa seemed to like us."
Jamie nodded. "She's quieter then Eddie. I don't know what she thought of me."
Frank spoke up. "Does it really matter to you."
"Well yeah. She's the only member of Eddie's family other then their grandmother, that Eddie is close to."
Nicky smiled. "Don't worry Alyssa said she thought you were nice."
Erin looked at her. "What else were you two whispering about?"
"School, boys, the city, boys...you know girl stuff."
Henry smiled at Jamie. "Don't worry so much. You and Eddie will be fine."
Jamie pulled out his wallet and smiled as he pulled out the picture inside. He handed it to his grandfather. Henry smiled and passed it to Frank. When Nicky got it she held it up to the light.
"It looks like a shrimp."
Erin nudged her. "Nicky."
Jamie chuckled. "I agree. I didn't even know where it was until the doctor pointed it out."
Nicky handed him back his picture and he tucked it back into his wallet. Erin smiled.
