Lying back in bed after putting our son back to sleep I take a deep breathe and look over to Jerry my husband of 5 years sleeping soundly I think how lucky I really am , Leo is now 13 still the love of my life his was the one constant in my life for a long time along with my mother, Jerry and I were very blessed to have her at our wedding she passed just over 3 years ago, 6 months before we had our little girl Hayley, just turning 3 , she is our little diva she is the same age, well a week older then Andy and Sam little boy , Billy, my godson- Leo still sees billy as his little brother and is very protective of both Hayley and Billy and also our 2 newest addition to our families , Andy's little girl Bella and my little guy, Kurt, Bella is just 9 months and Kurt my little buddle of joy is 2 months , I still work at 15 division as a part-time detective , still my love outside of my family , I still get to help out Jerry at home on cases when I can't be at work.
I don't think I could have dreamt of my life like this and how its so amazing, each morning when I awake to Jerry next to me or one of the kids yelling or crying for me , I sent a little pray up to god thanking him for it all , Im truly blessed.
People in my life have come and gone, Dex still isn't in the picture and Leo is ok with that, as he now sees Jerry as a father figure and Sam close behind too.
We lost our staff sergeant Frank Best 10 months ago in a what was first thought to be a random shooting but was later worked out to be a planned one for a guy Frank put behind bars 7 years before, he wasn't even on duty, Noelle his wife still can't cope and have left the force to look after there 6 year old boy, Lucas, it when everything started to change, and good things to some started happening ….
Chris became a training officer and has taken over Oliver's Talks and moved in with his girlfriend Nichole they have been dating for 2 years.
Gail and Nick got married and Gail turned into a softy after having her first baby, my goddaughter Emilie.
Dov and Sue got engaged and Dov had trained and become a Bomb Technician in ETF and now working with Sue.
Oliver, retired after Frank got shot and 5 years after a heart breaking divorce with Zoë which took a total on the whole division.
Andy and Sam, are married and they live across the road for us, Andy is now a Homicide Detective, she was lead Detective for the Frank Best shooting, Sam is now head of guns and gangs, and Tommy now lives in the guest house out the back so he can look after both Swarek's and Barbers children when we need to work.
As its getting late I turn over, I see our wedding photo, the most amazing day of our lives, it was simple with friends and family and fellow officers around us when we said "I do" at that moment I knew life is what you make of it , I could have been a teen mum who didn't care and didn't try to make a living, Im so glad I did , we may lost and gain friends and family , we may stuff up big case's we may get shot, we may suck at undercover work, but at the end of day its what makes life fun, its what makes me , Traci Barber, a Mother, a wife and a Cop .
