Plot: When the stress of her lutientant exam catches up to her, jake tries helps her to relax despite his nerves
Amy is sitting in the room, having just finished her practice test. The rest of the officers file out of the room as she sits, staring at the test with tears brimming in her eyes.
"Babe? How'd you d- oh" Jake stops himself mid sentence when Amy looks up at him with watery eyes. "That bad, huh?" He tuts, lowering himself down to her level.
"Not bad." She whimpers, shoving her test in his face. He gently takes it, noting the 102% scribbled in the front.
"Awe that's great Hun! Wait, why are you upset?" He asks, confused.
"All gonna change. I'm gonna leave or be boss. Don't want change" Amy mutters through her tears, avoiding eye contact.
"Oh. I know. Change is scary." Jake murmers, pulling her in for a hug. "Are you feeling little Ames?" He asks after a moment, trying to keep the panic out of his voice.
She nods, still with her face buried in his chest. His breath stutters a little. "OK ok ok ok ok. Cool cool cool cool cool" He murmers, mind racing. "Um... I'm going to go find Holt alright kiddo?"
Amy whines and grips onto him tighter. "Don't leave!" She whimpers, panic evident in her voice. Jake looks at her with panic in his eyes as he realises how little she is.
After a moment of deliberation, he picks her up and takes him with her as he walks towards Holts office, glaring at anyone who looks their way.
He doesn't even knock before letting himself in. "Captain! Amy's little and I'm not and I don't know what to do!" He says quickly. He stops rather suddenly when he registers Terry sitting in Holts chair.
"Whoa jake slow down. What's the matter?" Terry says easily, looking up from his paperwork.
"Amy's little and I'm not and I don't know what to do. I've never watched a little before." Jake says, still with a hint of panic in his voice but much slower then before.
"It's not that hard Perolta. Put on some cartoons, give her some juice and snacks and do some colouring in. Amy's a pretty easy little Jake, you just gotta calm down first" Terry chuckles, getting up.
He walks over and takes Amy with some difficulty. He rocks her gently, and within seconds she stops crying and starts to blink heavily.
"See Jake. As long as you're calm, she will be. Why don't you go set up the nursery and I'll take an early lunch to prepare some snacks"
Jake walks into the regression room and pulls out a colouring book and pulls up Bluey on the screen. He pauses for a moment before walking out to grab Amy. He does a quick scan of himself and determines that he is safely nowhere near regressing
"Hey kiddo! Look at what I've got!" Jake greets quietly when he walking in to the kitchen to a half asleep Amy sipping some juice in Terry's arms.
Amy pulls her head up and curiously asks, "what you got?"
Jake just grins and hands her her favourite bumblebee paci. "I thought you might want this for some big bro time." He says, taking her from Terry. She whines at the movement but settles quickly and happily sips her juice.
"Thanks for helping out Terry. I've never been the babysitter before."
"No worries Jake. I'm used to it. I've got to get back to my paperwork now though. You gonna be ok?" Terry replies easily, smiling gently at the asleep Amy in Jake's arms.
"Yeah I've got her Sarge" He says, smiling at his girlfriend as she rests peacefully.
The 3 adults split ways, Terry back to his paperwork and Jake takes Amy into the little room, placing her in the cot for her nap.
When she wakes up, he colours with her and watches TV and plays hide and seek and when his shift ends, he takes her home.
She ages up on the ride home, and the 2 chat all the way home, enjoying each other's company. It isn't until night time when Jake drops hard and Amy gets to repay the favour.
