A/N – Sorry it's taken me so long to update, I've been sooooooo busy! Hope you like this chapter, I don't own any of the characters.

Christine Cagney stands in the car park of the church, dressed in a light blue skirt and jacket, in her arms she hold a sleeping baby dressed in a tiny white embroidered dress. Mary Beth comes up behind her,

"Morning," She exclaims brightly, as a two year old Alice grips on to her hand,

"Aunt Christine!" Alice exclaims, "Baby Charlotte looks sweet." She adds shyly.

"Thanks Alice. Hi Mary Beth." Chris says turning to face her friend.

"I'm sorry I haven't been round this week Chris, it's been crazy at the fourteenth, we really are missing you, even Isbecki." Alice runs over to Harvey and the Michael who go into the church. "Careful!" Mary Beth shouts after her.

"That's ok;" Chris says, smiling at Alice, "I'll be back soon, besides, I've had some help." Christine grins thinking of the man who has been providing that help

"Oh, are you and the Lutenant?"

"NO!" Chris says defensively, then smiles and whispers, "not yet any way."

"Oh Chris, that's so wonderful!"

"Yeah well, let's not get carried away." Christine says although she is smiling, "but he is great isn't he Mary Beth?"

"Yes, and he's always chalking out early to see you." Christine is silent for a minute then looks up at Mary Beth, there is nobody else around and she feels she must tell someone.

"I love him Mary Beth."

"I know." Mary Beth nods,

"You know?"

"Chris, I know you don't I? What else keeps your mind of work?" Chris smiles sheepishly at this then suddenly the subject of their conversation comes up behind them.

"Ready?" he asks as Mary Beth hurries away after Harvey into the church.

"Yep." Chris smiles and they go into the church for the christening of their baby daughter.

The priest stands at the front of the church, Chris and Samuels are one side of him while Mary Beth, Tony and Brian are on the other. They go through the ceremony and by the end of it almost everyone in the room, apart from Christine and Isbecki of course, is crying. Charlotte wakes up but stays silent as water is splashed over her head and she is passed around from person to person. When the service is over the guests all file out of the church chatting about the loveliness of the day. Chris talks to Samuels and Mary Beth has the sense to keep away, they get outside and everyone is hanging around for a few moments before going on to the restaurant where they are eating. They all want to congratulate Chris and Samuels who find themselves swamped with crowds of people telling them how gorgeous their daughter is and for a while it seems like the perfect family picture. Everyone starts to get into cars and soon Mary Beth and her family, Christine, Brian and Samuels are the only ones in the car park.

"Do you want a lift to the restaurant Brian?" Mary Beth asks seeing the looks that Chris and Samuels are giving each other.

"No that's ok," Chris says, "He can come down with me and Bert."

"Well, actually Chris, I err, wanted to talk to Harvey about some, err construction work he's doing." Brian says, he's seen the looks his sister is giving Samuels too.

"Alright," Chris says suspiciously. The Laceys and Brian pile into the car and drive off leaving Chris and Samuels alone in the car park.

"I'll get Charlotte's car seat." Chris says and proceeds to put Charlotte in the Lutenant's car.

"The priest was lovely Chris, where do you know him from?" Samuels asked trying to keep the conversation as routine as possible.

"Oh, he's an old friend of my father's," Chris says then sighs, "I wish Charlie could have seen Charlotte." Samuels feels very awkward but he goes over to Christine and says,

"I'm sure he's watching."

Chris nods, "yeah," she says her eyes glistening, Samuels puts his arm round her. She looks up into his eyes and for a moment they just stand looking at one another. Anyone can see the feeling between them and Chris can't help but move head towards him, suddenly the distance between them is closed and their lips meet. They just stand kissing for a few moments then break apart, Chris looks shocked for a second then laughs,

"I bet he saw that!" She grins.
