Just Once, Or Forever?

A/N

This is a fic set in the ending moments of 'Magic, Majestic' in Series 5 and just afterwards because it's been bugging me because I want to know what happened between my favourite couple (Gerry and Sandra) whilst Gerry was under hypnosis!

Happy New Year for tomorrow, people!

Enjoy and reviews welcome!

I can't believe it. 5 nights ago, me and Gerry… well, you know. Had sex. Made love, whatever you want to call it. And it was amazing. He's kissed me on the cheek twice already, once when we were undercover and once when, well I was very angry and he just gave me the sweetest, gentlest kiss I've ever had.

Truth is, I love Gerry. I have almost ever since we started UCOS.

At first I hated it when he flirted with me, biting his head off every time. But then I gradually began to fall in love with him, flirting back like crazy. He loved it, but when my many disastrous relationships with other men started, he got jealous. I didn't do it to make him jealous, I just didn't think a relationship with Gerry would work, given his past with women and my past with men.

Oops. Gerry's put on that song which helped to hypnotize him. "No!" Me, Jack and Brian yell at the exactly the same time. Gerry is wearing an expression of panic on his face. I go and switch the jukebox off. 'Gerry, outside. We need to talk.' I tell him.

We step outside. "Sandra, what's the matter?" he asks me, because I'm pacing up and down like a mad thing. Gerry takes hold of my arm and tugs me to him. "Now, tell me what the matter is otherwise I am taking you straight to a shrink!" he orders/threatens me. "Okay… A couple of nights ago, when you were hypnotized we made love. And…Er, it was amazing" I tell him. "D'you think I really was hypnotized? Sandra, I knew what I was doing, although my brain was… well, muddled. I knew you'd let it slip that 1 time but I know if I did it when I wasn't hypnotized you'd have my balls for earrings. I love you Sandra, these past 5 years have been torture knowing that you'd never look twice at a silly old bugger like me." Gerry says, turning away from me. I think he's crying. I put my hand on his arm. 'I love you too' I tell him, kissing him on the lips. He kisses me back, putting his arms around my waist, and I seem to fit perfectly in his arms.

We have to stop, for the need of air. "Shall we go and tell the others?" Gerry asks me. 'OK' I reply nervously, wondering how Jack and Brian will react to our news.

As soon as we walk back into the pub, a look of realisation dawns on Jack's face. "Have you two finally realized that you're perfect for each other?" he asks. I nod. Jack gets up, gives me a hug and shakes Gerry's hand. "If you hurt her, you'll have me to deal with understood?" he asks Gerry. Gerry nods. "Congratulations. Don't go all soppy in the office though, okay?" Brian asks. 'Ok' I reply. I think we can live with that!

Jack buys celebration drinks, and we talk about the case we've just closed.

After that, Gerry and I go to my car, I'm ferrying him around at present, because His car's at the garage. I always tell him it's a pile of useless old junk but he insists it's a classic car!

"D'you want to move in with me? And are we a couple now?" Gerry asks. 'Yep, we're a couple' I tell him. ' But, whoa, moving in together immediately? That's a bit too hasty. I'll get some clothes from my house to last me a week, and then I'll stay with you for a week and we'll see how it goes from there, ok?' I ask. 'Ok' replies Gerry, giving me a gentle kiss, happy with this compromise. I kiss him back, knowing that although our relationship will have its ups and downs, we'll stay together, no matter what!
