Gerry, Sandra, and a confession
A/N
So this is a multi-chapter, eventual Sherry pairing fic I thought of the other day. Set around Series 7 or 8. I do not own New Tricks or any of the characters!
Reviews welcome and I hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 1
"Sandra, can I have a word?" Jack asked. "Sure, what's up?" she asked. "Could we talk alone?" he said, irritated. Sandra frowned. "Okay, we'll go out for a drink, then? It's almost time to go, anyway" she answered, looking at her watch.
"So, what's the matter?" Sandra asked her mentor and father figure when they got to the pub, handing him a glass of bitter. "I'm sick and tired of you and Gerry dancing around each other!" Jack stated simply. Sandra was taken aback. "We're not that bad, okay, I do have feelings for him but it's not likely to work out is it? You know his history with women!" Sandra replied. Jack considered this. "Listen, it's Friday tomorrow, yes? Why don't you go to Gerry's in the evening and tell him, then you both will have the weekend to talk things through." He answered.
"Yes, and I'll come into work on Monday miserable because he will have turned me down!" she replied. Jack shook his head. "I'm pretty sure he loves you, he's always flirting with you, he gets jealous whenever you get a boyfriend, and I've noticed that you get jealous when he goes out with a lady, too. And if he does turn you down, I will give him a talking to!" Jack replied. Sandra sighed. "Okay, then" she said.
The next morning, Sandra walked down the steps to UCOS. She was nearly at the door; she lost her footing and fell down the stairs.
"Sandra? Sandra, what's the matter? Get up!" Gerry found her at the bottom of the stairs a few moments later. Jack joined him. "What happened?" he asked. "I have no idea, I just found her here." Gerry replied, panic in his eyes, "She's unconscious, I think we need to call an ambulance." Jack said, reaching for his mobile. Gerry nodded, and then he picked his jacket up and slipped it under Sandra's head. "Sandra, please wake up! I… I love you" Gerry whispered to her.
