the captain's niece [Jake Peralta]

Chapter 7

       Jake was taking a while in the bathroom as I scrolled through my phone looking at pictures of Sam.
"I should be at home, taking care of my real babies." Said Terry.
"Not some big, dumb work baby."
"Me too." I stood up crossing my arms.
"I should be home with Sammy, watching Thomas The Tank Engine... Not be here."
"I know you're upset, Sarge, Elizabeth, but I think the fact that you came all the way down here has really taught Jake a lesson." Charles tried to calm us down.
"Help!" Jake yelled as I groaned.
"And I'm wrong, he's done something dumb." Charles said before going to the bedroom door.
"Help! Help!"
"Cover yourself, Jake. It's your friend Charles Boyle from work!" He broke down the door.
Once we got in Jake was stuck outside.
"Hey guys." Jake waved.
"What the hell are you doing out there, Peralta?"
"Would you believe that my urine stream was so powerful that it..."
"No!" Terry and I both yelled.
"Okay. I thought I saw our perp, and I know I'm not supposed to be working, but technically, I wasn't working because it wasn't our guy." Jake told us.
"Get out of the bathroom." Terry yelled.
"We're gonna go sit on those gross beds and talk about the fact that you have a real problem!" Terry said.
"Okay, I get that you're mad, and we are definitely gonna talk, but I still haven't, technically, gotten to go pee, so if you wouldn't mind..."
"I don't care. You have lost the right to pee! You fidget little man." Terry replied.
"Well, it's gonna be on you when we're all covered in my whiz."
"Get your ass out there!" I yelled at him.
"Jake, you put work ahead of every thing else, and it's not healthy." Terry told him.
"Remember Cagney and Lacey's third birthday party? I hired you as Jakels the Clown. How'd that go." He asked as Jake thought.
"You were thinking that at a kids party... Life is more than just whatever case you're working on. If you don't figure out how to balance things, you're gonna burn out or get hurt." Terry told him.
"Oh, look. You did get hurt dumbass." I told Jake.
"Okay! Fine. You guys make some great points, but counterpoint: I am right all the time." Said Jake pointing outside.
"There's our perp."
"All right." We nodded.
"Let's go!"
"Jake!" Terry yelled as Jake turned.
"Observe him from a safe distance while we wait for Atlantic City PD to show up." Terry told him.
"My exact instinct as well, Sarge. Good thinking." Jake said before running out.

      We stood outside of the motel, as I was freezing, since my jacket was in the room.
"Here." A sweater wrapped around my shoulders.
"Thanks. I would kiss you but Sarge is here." I said.
"It's fine, I'll kiss you after." Jake smirked as I punched his shoulder.
"Damn ACPD." Terry said as Jake and I turned to him.
"They should be here by now." Terry said.
"He's looking at us. Pretend to use the ice machine, Boyle." Jake told him.
"Gladly! Why is it so fun to get hotel ice? It feels wasteful, but also, like, "I bought this room. I deserve this ice."." Charles said happily.
"Shh! He's on the move." Jake said.
"Okay. I'll follow him till the ACPD get here." Terry said as the perp saw us.
"Damn it! Stay put, Peralta!" Terry ran.
"I will! Don't worry! I'm just gonna let Sarge follow him. I'm gonna stay right here." Jake looked at us.
"I can't do it. I'm gonna cut him off in the alley!" Jake said running off repeating "ow".
Boyle and I followed Jake.
"Oh!" Jake yelled as he got hit by a car causing me to gasp.
"Jake! You okay?" Terry yelled.
"No, Sarge. I got hit by a car!" Jake yelled.

     Jake laid in a hospital bed, as I say beside him, holding onto his hand.
"Ow." Jake groaned as I looked up to see him awake.
"Hell yeah, ow! You got hit by a car." I said sitting on his bed.
"Sorry, if I scared you." Jake apologized.
"You really did. But as long as your safe now." I said.
"Come here." I leaned down pressing my lips on his.
His hands cupped my face as I smiled into the kiss.
Then a gasp broke out causing Jake and I to pull away.
Standing in the door way was Amy with her mouth covered.
"Amy we..."
"I KNEW IT!" she screamed.
"Quiet please!" A nurse hissed at her.
"Sorry... Why didn't you tell me you too were dating!" Amy scowled at me.
"Uh... Surprise?" I said.
"All you can say is surprise? Who else knows? Oh God! Am I the only one who doesn't know?" Amy asked.
"No, no." I said calming her down.
"Boyle knows but that's it... And you cannot tell anyone. Especially Captain Holt." Jake said.
"I won't! I promise! Oh I'm so happy!" Amy cheered.
"Thanks Ames, where's Sam?" I asked.
"Oh. He's at Captain Holt's, I should go and pick him up. Have fun!" She made her way towards the door.
"But not too much fun." She squealed before walking out.
"She's something." I said.
"Yup... Now, where were we?" Jake was about to lean in as I pushed his shoulder back.
"Nice try Peralta." I said before giving him one more kiss.
