"So" Jamie said as they laid in bed. "I would love for you to come to family dinner tonight. It's totally your choice but I would love to introduce the family to my fiancée."

They had decided to go back to his apartment and have a little celebration of their own. Eddie was completely over the moon and so blissfully happy. His proposal had shocked the hell out of her to say the least but she couldn't imagine being on this crazy roller coaster with anyone else. He was the love of her life and she was his.

"Of course." She leaned up and gave him a kiss. "I'd love too but it's a little nerve racking because your dad is my boss."

"You'll do great. They already love you." He smiled and kissed the top of her head.

"What time is dinner anyway?"

"5:00"

She picked up her head off of his chest and looked at the time.

"Oh my gosh Jamie! It's 4:35! We need to go now! We're gonna be late!"

"Oh shit. You're right." They both hopped out of bed and scrambled to get their clothes on.

"Jamie, I can't wear this! Do you think we can stop by my place really quick? I'd feel better if I can change."

"Yeah that's fine babe." Once they were both dressed, they headed towards the door.

"Are you really gonna wear that shirt? It's wrinkled and has that "I just got lucky" look all over it."

"No one is gonna notice Janko. Plus... I did get really lucky and like you said "spoiled for life." She smirked and gave him a kiss.

...

"Well... I think that went okay." They had just left family dinner and were on their back to Jamie's apartment. He had been quiet ever since they left. "Are you okay Jamie?" she said quietly.

"Yeah" he reached over and grabbed her hand. "It's just... I wish dad would have been more excited or shown it at least. He went straight into us needing to switch precincts."

"I mean... he's the commissioner Jamie. He has to think about that stuff."

"I know but he could have put the commissioner hat away at least for today. Let's move on to more important things... we're having a wedding Janko." He smiled as he kissed her hand. "What do you want to do?"

"Well... it's not just mine Jamie. It's what we want to do. I've honestly never thought about it. I know I want a wedding. A dress, a party, the whole nine yards. Nothing too big of course. Give me sometime to think about it and I'll get back to you on it."

"Alright" he said with a smile. "We don't have to go back to work until Tuesday. I was thinking that tomorrow we could go and find you a ring."

"I'd love that but I want you to pick it out."

"Me? Just me?"

"Yeah. Isn't that what guys do when they propose to a girl?"

"Well yes but... I already asked you so I thought we could do it together."

"Surprise me Reagan. I know you can do it."

"Alright."

...

The next morning, Jamie was up early browsing the collections at Malsons Jewelers while Eddie slept in. He really didn't know where to start. He wanted her to have the best ring that money could buy. She wouldn't want anything flashy or big but it did have to be unique to her. The buzzing from his phone snapped Jamie out of his thoughts. He stepped outside to answer it.

"Hello?"

"Hey kid, it's me."

"Oh hey Danny."

"Where are you? I thought you would be working today."

"Eddie and I don't have to go back until tomorrow."

"Oh. How are you guys doing anyways?"

"We're doing great."

"I'm really happy for you kid. I really am. I always knew it was gonna be her. She's great for you. I can tell it's different this time kid. You're a different man and I can tell you love her a lot differently than you did with Sydney."

"Thanks Danny. I've loved her for a long time. I can't imagine spending my life with anyone else. She's it for me. It's always been her.

"I'm glad to hear that kid."

"Actually, I'm out looking for a ring right now. Any advice?"

"Whoa, she's not with you?

"No, she wants me to choose it."

"To be honest, I just knew when I saw the ring. This ring is gonna be on her finger till the end of time. You'll know when you see it. You're a smart man who passed the state bar exam. I'm pretty sure you can handle picking out an engagement ring for your fiancée."

"I just want to be sure it's the perfect one."

"It will be kid. Trust your gut. I got to go. Baez is calling me."

"Alright. Thanks Danny."

"Good luck."

Jamie walked back in with a sense of renewed confidence. Before Danny had called, he had spotted a ring that he thought was perfect for Eddie but kept second guessing himself.

"Excuse me sir?" Jamie said to one of the employees. "Can I see this ring?"

He came over and pulled the ring out of the display case and handed it to Jamie. It's was a platinum 2 carat solitaire engagement ring with a smaller stone on each side of the main one. As soon as he held the ring, he knew it was the best one for her."

"I want to get this one. It's perfect."

...

"Babe? Eddie?" He walked in to see that she was passed out on the couch asleep in his clothes. He smiled and grabbed the blanket off the back of the couch and laid it over her.

He kneeled down beside her and brushed the hair out of her face. "Hey Eddie, I'm back" he whispered.

"Oh hey" she said groggily. "I don't know why I'm so tired. I ate breakfast, showered and fell asleep again."

"It's alright" he said with a laugh. "We've had a crazy couple of days. Are you up for going to the park? We can grab some lunch and it's a great day outside."

"Mhm, that sounds nice." She leaned over and gave him a kiss. "I'm gonna get ready. It won't take me long." He watched as she scurried into his bedroom.

It surprised him that Eddie hadn't mentioned anything about the ring. She probably didn't remember because she had just woken up. Having the ring in his possession made it even more real. He was gonna ask the love of his life to marry him (with a ring this time) and he couldn't wait.

...

"This was a good idea" Eddie said as they finished their lunch. "It is a great day out. I love the view."

"So do I" Jamie said as he looked straight at her. She looked at him and blushed when she realized what he meant. He just smiled.

"Eddie, I love you. You are one of the best things that's ever happened to me. I can't imagine living my life without you." He walked over and got down on one knee at her side. He pulled out the ring box and opened it. Eddie gasped. "I know I already asked you once but I needed to seal the deal the right way. Will you marry me?"

"Of course Jamie" she said as she wiped away her tears. "I'd love to marry you."

He got up and pulled her in for a kiss. They pulled apart and Jamie sat beside her and pulled her close.

"Jamie... as much as I love this and you. Can I have my ring now?"

"Oh" he replied with a laugh. "Of course you can."

He pulled the ring out of then slipped it on her finger.

"It's beautiful Jamie. I absolutely love it."

"Look on the inside of it. See if you can read what it says."

Eddie took it off and held it up in the sunlight. It read 12D.

"Aww, 12D for 12-David. That's so sweet babe." She leaned over and kissed his cheek.

"It's how we started so I thought it would be perfect to put it in your ring."

She leaned her head on his shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her.

"I love it. I really do."

...

I really didn't know if I was going to add to this but I got inspired. Hope you enjoy!

*if you look back at family dinner in 8x22, you can see that Jamie's shirt is really wrinkled so that's why I think they had a little celebration before they got there ;)
