Standing in holts office, you held your little boy in your arms as he slept. It was late and you had to leave town for a case, no one knew that you had a son besides Holt, so you asked him to watch him.
"He's very shy as you already know, Kevin already came to college Conrad's things."
"I see, I shall take good care of your son."
You laughed a little and walked over to the couch, placing Conrad gently down. You brushed some hair from his face and kissed his forehead.
Standing up, you let Holt cover him up with his uniform jacket, and sighed. You hated this, but you had no choice.
"Try not to worry, everything will be fine."
You smiled weakly and shrugged your shoulders.
"I'm just worried, I know you and Kevin will take good care of him. It's just... if anything happens to me... just... please... remember what I asked you to do..."
"Of course (L/N)."
Nodding, you gave Conrad one more kiss on the head and left the room.
A week passed, and Holt was stood in front of the team, your picture up in the screen.
"Detective (L/N) has been reported missing by her undercover team, we need to find her as soon as possible. In front of you is everything we have on the case she was working on."
While Holt was briefing everyone on the case you were working on, Kevin came in holding a sniffling Conrad.
"Kevin, what's the matter?"
"Conrad has been crying all morning, I'm unsure as to what I should do."
Holt walking over, holding his arms out and Conrad immediately clung onto the captain.
"Aw, you guys have a child!?" Amy gushed.
"No, he's not ours, we're simply just watching him." Holt spoke, "now, you all know your jobs."
Everyone quickly filed out, and Jake walked over.
"What's my job? You never gave me one."
He was worried beyond everything, at it stressed him out Holt never gave him anything to do.
"Follow us to my office."
Jake did as he was asked, Holt and Conrad sat on the couch while Kevin stood in front of the door.
"This is Conrad, Conrad, this is Detective Peralta."
"He's a cute kid captain, but what does this has to do with helping (Y/N)?"
"Conrad is (Y/N)s son, she asked for him to be put your care if something happened to her on this case."
Jake was frozen, you had a kid? As he stared at the little boy, he could see a little bit of resemblance to you.
"I want to help (Y/N), why would she want me to look after Conrad, I don't know how to handle kids!"
"I'm well aware, but she requested this because aside from Raymond and myself, she only trusts you to care for him. He's very shy."
Once again Jake stood there frozen, he nodded his head walking over to the two on the couch. He smiled at the little boy.
"Hey buddy, I'm Jake, wanna come with me?"
Conrad glanced between Holt and Kevin, then back to Jake.
"It's okay, he's a friend of your mothers. You remember her saying that if we couldn't watch you Detective Jake Peralta would?" Holt asked.
Conrad nodded and slid down so he was standing up in front of Jake.
"You wanna get something to eat?"
Conrad nodded and held out his arms. Jake chuckled and picked the kid up, silently leaving Holts office.
That's how it went for a good few days, while everyone was busy, Jake spent most of his time watching Conrad, bringing him to work, taking him home.
Boyle would gush at the sight when he could, and spent as mush free time as he could teaching Jake everything he needed to know.
"Here's your juice bud." Jake smiled.
Conrad quietly took it and sipped it while looking around the precinct.
It was quiet, everyone was out besides Hitchcock and Skully who were in the kitchen.
"Hey Conrad."
Conrad faces Jake, tilting his head a little.
"Wanna play a game?"
Conrad nodded and climbed into the desk so he could watch Jake play a game on his computer.
The pair would take turns, Jake would put on different games and teach Conrad how to play them, they didn't think twice about the lift opening.
"Conrad!" You yelled.
Both spun around, Conrad threw himself off the desk. Jake quickly caught him and placed him down on the floor, letting him run over to you.
Once he was close enough, you dropped to your knees and hugged him closely.
"I miss you mom." He sniffled.
"I missed you too baby... I'm so sorry... are you okay?"
Conrad nodded and pulled away.
"Uncle Holt and Kevin look after me... mister Jake too so they can find you.."
You smiled and wiped your tears, sitting back on your legs.
"I'm so glad."
"Mister Jake is fun." Conrad grinned.
"He really is." You laughed.
Standing up, you walked over to Jake with Conrad's hand in yours.
"Hey..." you said softly.
"Hey." He smiled.
Both of you stood there, then Jake pulled you in for a hug and you hugged him back.
"Thanks for looking out for Conrad..."
"He's a great kid, you're an amazing mother. I'm glad your safe."
Pulling away, you swept Conrad up in your arms and pressed a kiss to the side of his head.
"We should head home."
"Can mister Jake come...?" Conrad whispered.
"If he wants to."
You looked at Jake, and he nodded grabbing his jacket, the three of you walked out the precinct.
You couldn't help but Smile, you knew you could count on Jake, you knew he'd look after Conrad, he was an amazing guy, and maybe one day he'd make an even better dad to Conrad if you ever worked on the confidence to tell him how you felt.
Meanwhile, Jake was thinking about how relieved he was to have you back, and how amazing you were. A full time job, a son, you were perfect in his eyes, and he would one day ask you to be his, and now he would have to ask to be the dad to your son
