Hello again. I'm back again with a new fic.
Thanks to Emma for reading this through and for your suggestions.

Anyway, hope you enjoy:
Chapter 1.
It was a quiet Friday afternoon in CID. With no current cases to deal with, CID were tying up loose ends before they finished for the weekend but the officers were slowly becoming fed up. Ray and Chris had given up on doing anything constructive and were messing about with an old football they had found in lost and found, Gene was flicking through old case files and Shaz was stealing glances at Chris and smirking as her husband dived in the wrong direction and knocked over a stack of paperwork.
"England won't be calling you up anytime soon baby!"
Shaz giggled as Chris hastily picked up the mess before the Guv caught him.
Alex seemed to actually be the only one doing any work, being left to do the stack of paperwork by the team. She knew the others were just waiting for it to get to 6 so they could go and get pissed.
Gene looked out of his office window and sighed in frustration as he took in the sight before him. Did those useless tossers ever work? Glancing at the clock, he decided that enough was enough and so he walked out into the office and sat on Alex's desk.
"Oi! How come Bolly is working her arse off while you all slack off and sit around doing nothing? Go on, get out of here before I make sure you lot have to work tomorrow. Luigi's is waiting. Chris is buying."
The lads cheered as they rushed out, slapping a confused Chris on the back.
Alex got up and grabbed her jacket as she smiled at Gene, happily leaning in to accept his kiss.
"Mm missed yer Bolly. C'mon let's go."
"How could you possibly miss me Gene? I've not gone anywhere today. Anyway, Are we not joining the team?"
Gene let his hand stray down to Alex's bum and growled in her ear.
"No Bolly. We are going home and grabbing something quick to eat and then we're going to bed and staying there all weekend."
Alex giggled at Gene and took his offered hand and gave it a squeeze as they left the office.
As Gene sped through the streets, Alex let her mind wander.
Life had been good for the two of them. They had been together for almost 2 years now and had recently bought and moved into their new house. Herself and Gene had got together when he asked her to be his date for Chris and Shaz's wedding and neither had looked back. They still had plenty of their famous rows but they blew over pretty quickly besides both of them agreed that making up was much better fun!
Swerving the Quattro into their driveway, Gene hastily unlocked the door and hurried Alex inside.
"So what do you fancy Gene?"
"Apart from you?"
Alex laughed and walked through to the kitchen.
"Yes Gene, apart from me. The sooner we eat the sooner we can head upstairs!"
Gene grabbed the toaster and shoved two slices into it and opened the cupboard.
"Say no more Lex. We are 'aving 'oops ok. They're pretty quick."
As soon as they had eaten, Gene grabbed Alex's hand and stood up, hurrying her out in into the hallway.
"Ooh somebody's keen aren't they!"
However, she was cut off as Gene's mouth claimed her own.
"Bolls shut up and get up them stairs now."
Slapping her on the bum, the couple laughed and raced upstairs, battling for dominance along the way.
Suddenly, they were interrupted as the doorbell rang.
"Oh bloody 'ell! Ignore it, pretend we're not here. C'mon."
Gene attempted to continue but it seemed that whoever was at the door had other ideas.
"Gene, answer it! Look the lights are on so they're not going to go away are they? It's obviously urgent."
"Urgent? I don't ruddy care if it's urgent. I'll tell yer what's urgent. Us. In bed. Doing naughty things to each other."
Gene growled in annoyance as the bell rang again. Turning around, he stormed down the stairs, ready to thump whoever had dared to interrupt their plans.
"Yes, 'ello. What do yer want?"
Gene was greeted with a tall, broad shouldered young man with blonde hair.
"About time yer answered. It's flamin brass monkeys out 'ere. Anyway. Yer gonna let me in?"
Gene stared at the young man before him in shock. What the hell was he doing here? He could hear Alex coming down the stairs and she stood beside him. Great this was all he needed.
"Gene. What's up? Who's this?
The young man looked Alex up and down in a similar way that Gene often did and grinned.
"Alright gorgeous? I'm Adam. I'm 'is son."
TBC...
Wonder what Alex is going to think? Chapter 2 should be up soon, just needs tweaking.
Mr and R please and thank yous! :)
