Dixie sat in her office, it had been several months since she had began to battle her feelings for Jeff. She swung around in her chair, it had been a while since she had feelings for someone, she had never had feelings for a man.

She rested her head in her hands, never in her life had she been so confused. She swung around in her chair, fiddling with her wedding ring in the box. She had never worn it since her wedding day, it was in its box. Closing the box, she put it back in her draw, slamming the draw behind her. Walking out of her office, she was greeted by the usual loudness of the station.

Finding Amy and Jeff cleaning off the ambulance, "Jeff! Why the hell did you decide to drive so close to the woods, look how much mud is on the tires!" Amy huffed, spraying the hose on the tires. Jeff then threw one of the wet sponges at her, "Oi! Jeff" Amy looked up at him, glaring, then sliding back on the wet floor, falling into Dixie.

"Woah" Dixie caught her, managing to stay upright herself. Dixie straightened Amy out so she was standing up properly. "You alright love?" Dixie asked, softly.

"Yeah, thanks" Amy breathed a sigh of relief, she thought she was going to smack her head on the floor.

"Jeffrey will you leave the poor woman alone, she's helping you. Then you throw sponges at her"

"She started it"

"I didn't do anything" Amy poked her tongue out at him, Jeff poked his tongue back at her. "Honestly, it's like taking care of two kids!" Dixie chuckled, looking at the pair of them. After they finished washing the ambulance, Dixie watched as they went of on a shout, wishing them luck and care. Once they left the garage, Dixie sighed, rubbing her forehead.

Part of her had loved Jeff for a while, but she had fought away the urge, he was a man. Would she be betraying herself? Biting her lip, she leaned against the wall, she had put herself on paperwork duty for the day. Much to her annoyance, when she did the paperwork, it only ever made her think, think about everything.

Going back to her office, she sat at her chair, doing what she was supposed to be doing and working out the budgets for the day. By the time she finished, it was gone lunch, she was beginning to feel rather hungry. Going into the rec room, she found Jeff and Amy mucking around acting like children again, Jeff was trying to stick spoons on his nose.

"Jeffrey people have to eat from those" Dixie pulled the spoon away from him, putting it in the washing up bowl. She saw Amy looking at her hand then frowning, "What's up sweetheart?"

"My ring, swear I had it on this morning..." Amy traced her finger, trying to remember what she had done with her ring.

"What your grandma's ring"

"Yeah" Dixie saw the tears building up in Amy's eyes. "It's alright, we'll find it" Dixie assured, walking over to Amy and hugging her.

"Princess you weren't wearing it this morning" Jeff told her, he remembered pinning Amy to the wall, he didn't remember seeing her ring.

"Wasn't I?"

"No" Jeff shook his head, "Maybe it fell off when I was asleep" Amy said, Dixie raised her eyebrows, she had never seen Amy without her ring, or without her locket. "I always lose everything. I'm such an idiot" Amy buried herself a little more into Dixie, Dixie rested her chin on Amy's shoulder, looking at Jeff. The pair of them looked at each other, "How about I come over tonight love? Help you look for it aye?" Dixie asked, Amy nodded, rubbing her eyes before pulling away from Dixie.

"I'm gonna go toilet, back in a bit" Amy left them both, going to the toilets, Dixie already knew why she was going. She knew Amy hated people seeing her cry.

Dixie went over to Jeff, "Jeff you sure she wasn't wearing that ring?"

"Positive" Jeff crossed his arms. Dixie nodded her head. Dixie held her breath, trying to think.

By the end of their shift, Dixie had sent Amy to wait by her car, while her and Jeff had a chat. Jeff leant on her desk, glancing at Dixie. "Where's your wedding ring Dix?"

"In the draw..." Dixie replied, Utaking the case out the draw to show Jeff. Jeff nodded, part of him wanted Dixie to wear her wedding ring. He knew she was a lesbian, but because she didn't wear the ring, did that mean she was ashamed of him? He always wore his wedding ring, he was sure it was from habit, but even when he was married to Lucy he hated wearing his ring. Something was different when he was married to Dixie, he liked wearing the ring she brought him.

Both of them were lost in their thoughts, when someone knocked on the door. "Come in" Dixie called, watching as the door opened revealing Lenny,

"You Mr, where is Amy's ring?" Dixie raised her eyebrows at Lenny, she saw him suddenly change expression.

"Keep your voice down, where is she?" Lenny quickly shut the door.

"In my car crying, because she lost her grandma's ring"

"She never lost it, I took it" Lenny wiped his forehead, he was hoping Amy wouldn't have noticed that he took it.

"Mate, aren't your fingers a bit big for her ring?" Jeff raised his eyebrows,

"I didn't take it for me, I took it to the jewellers to get the size. I'm getting it back after my shift"

"Why did you need the..." Dixie stopped there, feeling herself smile looking at Lenny's expression, it was then she realised why Lenny had taken her ring.

"We missing out on something here?" Jeff stood up from Dixie's desk, staring at Lenny.

"Look, I know you two are the closest thing Amy has to parents. I wanted to ask for your permission to propose to her" Lenny held his breath, watching Dixie and Jeff both exchange glances.

"Well I don't know... What are you thinking Dixie?" Jeff joked, trying to keep a serious face.

"Hmmmm... Let me think, its a tough decision isn't it Jeff?" Dixie played along, holding her breath to try to stop herself from bursting out in fits of laughter.

"Mate we're only messing, of course you have our permission. Just get the ring back before she has a mental breakdown" Jeff saw Lenny smile with relief. "Cheers guys, well I need to go now before Jordan kills me" He then left, Dixie laughed, picking her keys out from her draw.

"Well I wasn't expecting that princess" Jeff took a deep breath.

"No, you better keep that gob of yours shut Mister, if you dare say anything to Amy about this" Dixie pointed her finger at Jeff, see saw him shake his head immediately. "I'll keep zipped Dixie, don't worry, it was sweet of him to ask us first though" Jeff felt warm inside, he didn't expect Lenny to ask permission to propose to Amy, however it did show how much he cared for her.

Dixie gave Jeff a hug goodbye, he was going to stay to check all the ambulances. Dixie went towards her car, finding Amy leaning against it, still looking at her hand. "Come on then sweetheart, instead of going straight home, how about we go down town. Grab a coffee or something?" Dixie offered,

"Can that coffee be made into a hot chocolate?"

"Course it can sweetie, I thought you didn't like hot chocolate?" Dixie raised her eyebrows, smirking at Amy.

"That's until you made me one" Amy chuckled, "I've converted you to the dark side have I now?" Dixie laughed, remembering when her and Amy had a film night, she had forced Amy to drink hot chocolate to show her what she had missed out on.

"You have"

"OK, come on then" Dixie encouraged her into the car, she knew they wouldn't find Amy's ring, so she may as well find another way to cheer her up. Dixie made sure Amy was strapped in, before beginning the drive down town, but once again, her mind thought of Jeff.
