Author's Note: This story is mostly about Jamie and Eddie dealing with new partners, so it switches between their points of view. The Oh So Easy Relationship collection are all the stories I've written so far. That means New Start, Truth Be Told, and this one, A Good Impression.

Jamie Reagan walked out of the men's locker room, tired, after a twelve hour tour. During tour, he had to deal with a person throwing bottles at pedestrians passing by. Unfortunately, Jamie was one of the people who got hit, and had to go to the hospital to get stitches. He had a slight headache, but was allowed back on tour. The headache had slowly subsided as the day went on, but it was still there. He just wanted to go home to bed. He was almost at the door when someone called his name.

"Reagan."

Jamie shoulders fell as he exhaled.

"Why me?" He asked himself, but turned around anyway to acknowledge the person. He sighed when he saw who it was.

"What's up, Sarge?" Jamie called back to his CO.

"I just need to tell you something," Renzulli said. "Have a minute?"

"For you, Sarge, I have all night," Jamie said sarcastically.

"Ha, ha, ha, Reagan," Renzulli said. "Be serious, will you?"

"I'll try my best."

Renzulli shook his head. "Well, kid, you're getting a new partner on Monday, and I know what you're thinking. 'Sarge, I've only been riding with you for a little over a month.' I know that, but I think you're ready to be out on your own. Now, your new partner is Lavender Harper. She's a transfer from the 3-6, and her first day is Monday, so be nice."

"When am I not nice?" Jamie joked.

"Your jokes prove my point. By the way, don't fall in love with this one, okay?"

"Don't worry, Sarge," Jamie assured. "I know one four foot tall, blonde-headed, wise ass that would shoot me if I did."

"Yeah, and I wouldn't mind if she did," Renzulli chuckled. "Now, get out of here."

Jamie smiled as he headed toward the door. "See you, Sarge."

"See you, Reagan."

With that, Jamie left and went to his car. He was thinking about his new partner when his phone rang. He looked at the caller ID and smiled.

"Hey, beautiful. Aren't you supposed to be on tour?"

"I am," Eddie Janko responded. "I was just calling to see how your tour went while Regetti got coffee."

"That's sweet, Janko," Jamie said. "What's your real reason?"

"What I'm not allowed to be nice?" Eddie asked incredulously.

"No, it's fine," Jamie told her. "My tour was okay. I had to go to the hospital at the beginning of it, but I'm fine."

"What?" Eddie said a little irritated. "Why didn't you call me?"

"Like I said it was at the beginning of tour and I thought you'd be sleeping. I didn't want to wake you."

"Okay," Eddie said skeptical. "What happened?"

"Some guy was throwing bottles, and I got hit in the head with one," Jamie said as he unlocked his car, placed his bag inside, sat down and closed the door. "I'm fine, though. It was only a few stitches."

"I'm glad you're all right, but call me next time, okay? Even if I'm sleeping."

"Okay. I'll remember that. I promise," Jamie told her.

Eddie sighed, and then snorted. "Have you told your family about you dating a particularly good looking female cop?"

Jamie groaned. "That's the real reason you were calling, and no I haven't. I only just left the precinct, and I haven't even turned on my car."

"Come on, Reagan," Eddie cried. "It's Friday. You've had all week to tell them."

"I'm getting to it. I just-"

"Haven't gotten to it," Eddie finished for him.

"Yeah," Jamie said. "And I have other things to worry about now. I'm getting a new partner on Monday."

"Really?" Eddie asked surprised. "Why so early?"

"Sarge thinks I'm ready to be a sergeant all by myself," Jamie replied.

"He's the only one," Eddie muttered quietly.

"Thanks, Janko," a sarcastic Jamie said.

"I'm only half kidding," Eddie said. "Anyway, who's your new partner?"

"Her name's Lavender Harper, a transfer from the 3-6. Her first day is Monday." Jamie said flatly.

"You sound oh so happy about this," Eddie said sarcastically.

Jamie sighed. "It feels like I've had too many partners and last time I was partnered with a transfer, we started off on bad terms. He also ended up in the morgue."

"Jamie," Eddie said soothingly. "Don't think that way. Harper is not Vinny. You know, you two may hit it off. Or not. You won't really know until you get there."

"You know if you left the last two sentences off that would have been sufficient," Jamie informed her.

"I try to help you and that's what you say?" Eddie said sassy. "I'm so sorry I'm not a guru of advice like you, Reagan. By the way, the truth hurts."

"It's the gesture that counts," Jamie said simply.

"You're unbelievable," Eddie said. "I have to go. I'll see you later, Reagan. I love you."

"Love you, too. See you later."

Jamie hung up and started his car. He hated working opposite shifts from Eddie. It limited his time with her, but it comes with the job. He sighed and headed for home as his mind raced with Eddie, Lavender Harper, and his family.
