Ch 1

Jamie wrapped his arms around Eddie's waist planting kisses on her cheek gently while rubbing her large round stomach. At eight months pregnant Eddie took a leave of absence from the 3-5 squad as a Detective to rest until the birth of their first born. Ever since Eddie told Jamie they were going to be parents Jamie clung to Eddie keeping a watchful eye over her.

Flashback

Jamie entered the apartment he and Eddie had been sharing until they saved enough for a house. Eddie looked up from her sprawled position on the couch, feet extended with a garbage can on the floor. "Hey babe everything okay?" Jamie approached the couch concerned at the paleness in his wife's face.

"I'm fine Jamie, we have to talk."

Eddie sat up giving Jamie room to sit before lying in his arms loving how protected and loved he made her feel. "What's wrong Eddie did something happen at work?" Jamie immediately felt her body lurch as though ready to hurl but Eddie held it down this time. "No work was fine I'm feeling sick again."

"Eddie you've been sick a few weeks now it's time to see a doctor." Jamie patiently accepted her hatred for doctors but after weeks of seeing how the sickness started to wear her down Jamie decided she had to find out why she'd been getting sick.

Eddie shifted in his arms looking up into his concerned blue eyes. "I took a personal today and went to the doctor. Jamie, I'm pregnant."

Jamie stared into her eyes letting the initial shock sink in. It took several minutes for Jamie to compose himself enough to talk. "Really?" His eyes swelled with tears in realization he was going to be a daddy. He and Eddie we're going to be parents something after Sydney left him never thought would happen. Jamie and Eddie talked about having kids but didn't decide on when the right time would be.

Sitting up Jamie pulled Eddie onto him planting gentle kisses on her lips, salty as tears continued flowing. "You ok Jamie," Eddie asked gently resting her head on his chest. "Perfect now that we're going to have a family"

Ever since that day Jamie worried about her and the baby until she finally took the leave. "How are you feeling babe," Jamie asked softly while he leaned in to kiss Eddie's stomach. "Fat," Eddie let out a laugh. "Naw you're beautiful," Jamie rubbed his hands across her belly in soothing circles.

"How was tour?"

Jamie gave a shrug of his shoulders as this case he struggled in stayed in his mind. "I can't close this case we have evidence but nothing to connect it." Eddie smiled assuringly knowing the case will stay on his mind until he closed it. "You'll get it lamb chop." Eddie let out an involuntary yawn from staying up to find the right sleep positions in between getting sick at night.

"Let's get you to bed babe." Jamie gently lifted her up into his chest moving his arm down so it ran around her stomach. Eddie smiled at him grateful for the constant support he'd been giving her since the day she found out they were having a baby. "Jamie had been patient through the night sickness, her mood swings and weird cravings with nothing but a loving smile although she guessed he vented to Danny when she wasn't around.

Keeping a supportive arm around her Jamie guided her into the bedroom changing quickly before sliding under the covers wearing only boxers. Eddie immediately snuggled against his bare chest loving the feeling of his warmth against her and hearing his heart beating while she slept. Jamie gently wrapped an arm around her planting a kiss on her lips before moving down to her belly for a kiss. "Good night baby daddy loves you."

Eddie placed her head by Jamie's chest breathing to the sound of his beating heart falling asleep within minutes. Jamie closed his eyes taking a little longer to finally let sleep over take him. Throughout the night Eddie shifted to her other side getting sick in a bucket she left by the bed groaning.

Just as she was ready to turn over a sharp pain caused her to flinch followed by a wet sensation down her leg. "Oh," she yelped involuntarily reaching back brushing Jamie's hand waking him up out of a light sleep. "What's wrong babe," Jamie asked in a sleep filled voice. "Jamie, something's wrong my water broke."

That statement got Jamie's attention as he shot up into a sitting position staring at her. "Okay let's get you to the hospital." Jamie shot around the bed lifting her onto her feet. "Jamie it's too soon we still have another month," Eddie cried worried something was wrong. "Don't go there Eddie the doctors will check you both out okay." Jamie did everything he could to remain calm so Eddie didn't panic.

Keeping an arm around her waist Jamie led her to the car driving her to the nearest hospital. As he drove Jamie reached for his phone using speaker phone to let the hospital know they were coming. "This is Detective Jamie Reagan I have Detective Eddie Reagan on the way she's 8 months pregnant, her water just broke and she's in pain."

After he hung up Jamie speed dialed his father keeping the phone on speaker so he could drive. "Reagan," Frank's voice croaked. "Dad I'm driving to St. Victor's Eddie's in labor." A long pause followed by Frank's deep voice "I'm on my way son."

Just as they pulled in Eddie let out another cry as pain shot through her body. "Breath babe we're here." Jamie pulled into the emergency lot relieved to see a doctor waiting. "She's 8 months pregnant her water just broke and she's been having pain," Jamie explained, opening the door to help Eddie out.

"How far apart are the contractions?"

Jamie paused looking over to Eddie for the answer. "They're a few minutes apart," Eddie scowled in pain. The doctors wheeled her into a room already set up with equipment thank to Jamie's phone call warning. "Okay let's see." The doctor pulled a stool up to the bed checking Eddie while various nurses monitored her vitals. "She's in labor okay let's have a baby."

Eddie picked her head up scrunching her face in pain. "But I'm only 8 months." Jamie rushed over to her side giving her hand a supportive squeeze. "It's okay your vitals look good, the baby's vitals look good. I need you to take a deep breath Eddie and on the next contraction push."

Eddie did as she was told fighting back tears of fear for her baby and the excruciating pain jolting through her body. "Good Eddie you're doing great." Jamie used his free hand to brush her blond hair back ignoring the sweat already soaking her head. "You're doing great babe just a little more and we'll have our baby," Jamie encouraged .

"Okay Eddie take a breath." Eddie sucked in a deep breath crying out in pain taking it out on Jamie's hand. "We are never having kids again," She warned. "Breath babe," Jamie responded in a low calm voice. "Next contraction push again." Eddie grimaced keeping her hand in Jamie's giving a good squeeze as she pushed.

"Good Eddie take a few breaths for me." The doctor advised keeping an eye on her and the vitals updated by his nurses. Eddie took a deep breath squeezing her eyes shut crying out in pain. "I can't do it." Jamie leaned down to plant a kiss on her glowing forehead reassuringly. "Yes you can you're the strongest person I know babe."

"Okay Eddie one more time I can see a head." Nurse's gathered around waiting to take the baby for a quick exam and clean up before being handed over to the anxious parents. Still holding her hand Jamie leaned on his tip-toes to peek over the end of the bed.

"One more time Eddie give me a good push." Eddie leaned her head back crying as she pushed hard. A second later a long shrill cry pierced through the room sliding into the doctor's awaiting arms. Jamie's eyes twinkled anxiously relieved to hear his baby crying but more so to know they were okay.

"It's a girl."

Jamie's eyes watered turning back to Eddie planting a kiss on her lips whispering "I am so proud of you babe we have a daughter." Eddie sniffled replacing her head onto the pillow meeting Jamie's eyes with a tired smile. The doctor ran quick tests wrapping her in a clean blanket to meet her parents.

The doctor handed her off to Jamie as he was closer smiling at the teary eyed man. Jamie looked down taking in his daughter for the first time. Her little eyes were closed, a hand waving over her tiny pink lips. A few strands of blond hair stood out on top of her round head. She had that new baby smell like powder. Jamie's heart fluttered as he sat on the bed cradling his newborn daughter.

"Hey baby girl, oh Eddie she's perfect." Jamie brushed the blanket down for a better look his eyes twinkling with love already as he blinked the hot tears away but more kept coming. He leaned down kissing her small head four times. "She's beautiful what should we name her," Eddie looked over Jamie's arm at their now quiet daughter resting peacefully in daddy's arms. "How about Sophia," Eddie replied quietly taking in her daughter.

A knock on the door caught their attention, surprised to see Frank, Henry and Danny walking in forgetting he called his father on their way to the hospital. "Hey we have someone for you to meet, this is Sophia," Jamie choked out. Frank peered over at his newest granddaughter immediately sobbing with happiness for his youngest.

Danny went around his dad for a good look smiling at the beautiful little girl his baby brother held. "She's perfect Jamie congrats you two." In the minute they met her, Danny predicted she would become very spoiled very quickly. "Can I hold her," Frank asked with a quivering voice. Nodding Jamie carefully transferred his daughter into his father's arms watching with a smile.

"How do you feel Eddie," Henry questioned waiting his turn to hold his newest great grand-daughter. "Tired, sore but happy she's here."

While their daughter met her new family members Jamie sat on the bed beside Eddie brushing her blond hair behind her shoulders gently and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Ask him," she whispered laying her head in his lap.

Jamie reached down taking her hand in his looking up smiling at his father's soft expression towards his new grand daughter. "Hey Danny, do you want to hold your god daughter next?"

Danny blinked ready to answer until the real question Jamie asked hit him. "Wait what god daughter are you asking?"

"Eddie and I talked it over and we'd really like you to be her godfather." Jamie noticed the twinkle in his brother's eye through the tears Danny tried desperately to hide. "Wow yea of course." Frank looked at Jamie over the top of his glasses with a smile rocking Sophia as he brought her to Danny.

Danny carefully took the newborn into his arms brushing her tiny fingers with his hand. "Hey it's your uncle Danny." His voice cracked trying to explain he was her godfather and would look out for her too so instead he leaned down planting a kiss on her head. Sophia moved slightly her little mouth turning up into a small smile.
