Blue Bloods’ Jamie And Eddie’s Ending Might Give Them Their Dream In An Unexpected & Tragic Way

Jamie and Eddie might get their dream ending in a different and more tragic way during Blue Bloods‘ series finale. The couple is a fan favorite, and one item that comes up frequently on the series finale wishlist is for them to have a baby. Jamie and Eddie talked about starting a family in Blue Bloods season 14, episode 11, but this has not been mentioned again since they agreed they wanted to have children.

There is only one episode of Blue Bloods left in its final season, and there are few clues as to what will happen. However, it is known that there will be some sadness involved, as the Reagans will attend a funeral that is widely speculated to be Eddie’s partner, Luis Badillo. This development, as well as a few other spoilers, suggest that Jamie and Eddie’s ending might be more tragic than it seems, although there is a way for them to still have the happy resolution to their baby story that they deserve.

Blue Bloods Finale’s Ending Teaser Photo Shows Eddie In The Hospital

While She Does Not Die, This Photo Is Concerning

CBS has released several teaser photos ahead of Blue Bloods‘ series finale. One such photo shows Eddie in a hospital gown and wheelchair, suggesting she is seriously injured during the final mission that Frank and the rest of the Reagans embark upon to stop gang members from terrorizing the city. This will be an emotional final arc for Jamie and Eddie, as well as the rest of the family, who have already lived through losing Joe Reagan in the line of duty.

While it’s not clear what the extent of Eddie’s injuries are, she will survive, as other teaser photos show her at a funeral. However, it’s possible that her hospitalization will lead to the tragic twist of her not being able to have biological children. She may need a hysterectomy, which would mean that she can no longer get pregnant. She could also learn that she was in the early stages of pregnancy, but that her injuries led to fetal death. However, this story would be too heartbreaking and, therefore, would not be the best option for a series finale.

How Eddie & Jamie Can Still Start A Family Even If They Don’t Have Biological Kids

There Are Two Storylines That Could Set Up An Adoption

Although it seems that Blue Bloods‘ final season consisted mostly of standalone episodes, it’s possible that some previous storylines contained set-up for Jamie and Eddie to adopt a child. Badillo revealed that he takes the son of his late partner fishing for a weekend every year to help make up for the fact that the child does not have a father. If Badillo dies, Jamie and Eddie might take over this duty, which would allow them to be a positive influence in this boy’s life. However, there is another option available that might be stronger.

​​Blue Bloods‘ Jamie and Eddie decided they wanted children after they fostered a little girl, Amelia, whose mother had been murdered, and Eddie seemed heartbroken when Amelia’s grandmother was willing to take her in. However, Amelia’s father attempted to kidnap her and then went on the run by himself when the cops foiled his plot. Thus, if he is part of the gang mayhem plot, it’s possible that Amelia’s grandmother will be killed or decide that it is too dangerous to continue to let Amelia live with her. Either of these scenarios could result in Jamie and Eddie adopting Amelia.

Eddie and Jamie Adopting A Child In Need Would Fit Blue Bloods’ Central Message

It Would Reaffirm Family Values And Making The Best Out Of Tragedy, Which Are Two Key Themes

Blue Bloods is unique among police procedurals because of its emphasis on family. The series’ family dinners have become iconic, and every episode includes plenty of family interactions, in addition to everyone leaving their troubles at the door to spend time together every Sunday. Thus, Eddie and Jamie having children would reaffirm those values. If Eddie is unable to have biological children and she and Jamie adopt Amelia or another child in need, that would also underscore the theme that Blue Bloods‘ Reagan family does its best to make something positive come out of tragic circumstances.

The Reagans would undoubtedly accept Jamie and Eddie’s adopted child as easily as they would a new biological family member, reinforcing the idea of family being the primary value regardless of what that family looks like. While it would be sad for Jamie and Eddie to not be able to have children of their own, having them adopt a child would be a satisfying way to wrap up their story and reassure the audience that the Reagan family will continue despite Blue Bloods ending.
