October
Sam walked into the CID office on hand rubbing her protruding tummy while the other rubbed her aching back.
"Alright 'Fatty'?" Jo laughed as Sam walked past her desk.
"Urm that's DS 'Fatty' to you!" Sam smiled "But yes I'm not to bad thanks aching a bit but that's normal!" She lowered herself into her chair and picked up some case notes. As she was so heavily pregnant Sam had now been put onto light duties which meant she wasn't allowed out on arrests or raids so she was limited to interviews and typing up notes, which everyone loved! Not! She spent most of the morning finishing case notes and reports. She had lunch with Gina and Jo before heading back up to the CID office to continue working.
"Listen up everyone" DI Manson walked into the CID office ready to make an announcement. "As you all know Sam is leaving for maternity leave today" Sam blushed, she was hoping to leave quietly but no chance with this team. "so…" Neil continued "We just like to given you a little pressie and wish you and Phil good luck with the baby" Neil walked over to Sam and Phil and handed them a bag full of baby clothes.
"Thank you…" Sam smiled as she looked inside "…all of you" as Sam and Phil looked at the gift the rest of the office returned to work.
Jo walked over to the couple and perched herself on the edge of Sam's desk.
"I'm gonna miss you Sarge" She sighed.
"I'm only going on maternity leave I will be back, its not like your never going to see me again!" Sam smiled as she signed for Jo to come in for a hug. "Any way I need some to be the baby's Godmother don't I!" she laughed as the realisation of what she said dawned on Jo
"Oh really Sam" she smiled as she kissed her cheek.
"Of course I wouldn't want any one else." Sam released Jo from the embrace "Now come on DC Masters get back to work"
"You know what, thinking about it I'm not going to miss you that much!" Sam laughed as Jo headed back to her desk. Sam watched the rest of CID for a minute as they all got on with their work. She then refocuses herself in her final job before she left.
"You ready then babe?" Phil asked as he perched himself on the edge of Sam's desk.
"Yup, let me just… save this… and yup done" Sam logged off the system and pulled herself up from the chair.
Phil took hold of her arm to protect her from falling backwards, in the last few months she had been struggling to control her balance, her baby bump was growing more and more everyday. He wrapped his arms round Sam's waist and they walked towards the CID doors. On their way out walked into Gina.
"Good luck Sam" She pulled Sam into a hug "Make sure Phil looks after you well" She smiled
"See you soon Gina" She kissed her cheek before taking hold of Phil's hand again and walking down the stairs to the car park, just before they left Sam turned to look back at the station. Although she had been away from work before, she hadn't been off for this long ever, 8 months was a long time, she was nervous but she was sure she was going to be busy.
