the captain's niece [Jake Peralta]

Chapter 8

Amy and I were looking at pictures of Sam, since she adores him and he her, but not as much and Jake.
"I can't wait to have children of my own." Amy said as I smiled.
"It's the worlds greatest present. Even if they keep you up in all hours of the night." I said closing my phone.
"Oh, my God!" Jake gasped as Amy and I looked up to see Rosa wearing pink.
"Rosa's wearing pink! Rosa's wearing pink!" Jake said.
"Are we sure it's not a white shirt that's just been bloodied in a motorcycle crash?" Amy asked.
"Maybe it wasn't her." I replied.
"Does she have a twin sister?"
"If Rosa had a twin, she would have eaten her in the womb." Gina replied.
"Wait. Hold it. Stop. How come none of you teased her about it?"
"It's Rosa. She's scary." Jake replied tapped my foot underneath the desk.
"You guys are unbelievable."
"I once wore a tie with a splash of purple... You guys called me Mr. Grapes for two years." Boyle said.
"Oh, Mr. Grapes!" Jake cheered.
"I forgot about Mr. Grapes."
"If I wore a pink shirt, you'd tear me to shreds." Boyle said.
"Well, yeah, but you'd look like a My Little Pony with a gun." I giggled.
"Let me guess. Your theater club putting on Grease, and you're playing a pink lady." Jake laughed.
"What are you guys laughing at?" Rosa asked.
"If Boyle was wearing a pink shirt."
"I get it. That's hilarious." Rosa agreed.
"What's happening? Rosa is the one wearing pink."
"And?" Rosa stepped forward with anger.
"It's gorgeous. I wish I could pull that off." Boyle said.
"Dream on, Strawberry Shortcake."
"Yeah, nice try, Mr. Grapes." I said.
"Mr. Grapes!"
"Mr. Grapes." We all chanted as Boyle stomped away.

I sat beside Jake as Sarge, and Holt talked about our new case.
"Last night, several masked men robbed a number of check cashing locations in our precinct."
"They also hit several locations in the Nine-Three, so this will be a joint investigation... Detective David Majors is already on the case." Holt said.
"Whoa, Dave Majors? Seriously?" Jake asked.
"Who's that?" I asked since I was new.
"He's..."
"The best detective in the NYPD, myself included." Jake said as I rolled my eyes at my boyfriend.
"His arrest numbers are staggering. His conviction rate is magnificent. He is blotter dynamite." Amy said as we all stared at her.
"I mean, I'm cool. I'm just hanging out with you guys." She said as I chuckled.
"Okay, but what's his body like on a scale from Charles to Terry?" Gina asked.
"Sorry, buddy." Boyle said.
"What? I'm the 10." Sarge said.
"Sure you are." Boyle patted his chest.
"Majors does just fine."
"His girlfriend is the weather lady from channel five. You know the one who's always reaching for Copperatown? Love her."
"Well, I need someone to partner up with him." Holt said.
"Ooh, me, me, me, me, me!"
"Oh, I'll do it." Amy said.
"Sir, with all due respect, I'm the obvious choice. I mean, look at me." Jake winked at me as I blushed.
"I'm not in profile."
"Sir, please let the record show that the sauce on his face is from yesterday." Amy said as we high fived.
"And it is that level of eagle-eyed observation that I plan to bring to..."
"Enough." Holt cut Amy off.
"You can both work the case. Three heads are better than too." Holt said.
"Also, I fear any other decision I make will just result in further noise."
"Good call sir." Amy nodded.
"I was about to start chanting, "vote for jake." let's do it anyways." Jake said.
"Vote for Jake! Vote for Jake!" Him and Boyle kept on chanting.
"Dismissed." Holt said as we made our way out, Amy and I laughing.

My arms wrapped around Jake's neck as he pulled me into the evidence room.
His lips pressed onto mine as he pushed me up against some boxes.
"Aren't you supposed to be working on the drug case?" I asked him.
"Yes, but. They can do things without me for a little bit." Jake's lips pressed onto him.
I smiled as I ran my fingers down his chest and to his belt buckle.
I moaned unhooking the buckle until someone knocked on the door.
"Yeah?" Jake asked fixing his belt as I went on my knees pretending to look for something.
"Shoot! Did I ruin another moment?" It was Amy as I looked up.
"Nope, not at all." Jake said as I stood up.
"Let me make it up to you, let me watch Sam tonight! I found all the seasons of Spongebob!" Amy said happily.
"Deal." I said.
"But I do need Jake, we're following a lead." She said.
"All right, see ya babe." Jake kissed my cheek before running out.
"Wow." Amy said as I stood beside her.
"Hmm?"
"I've never seen him like that! You're changing him Elizabeth."
"Thanks? I think." I said as we left the room.
